Boulder Valley School District BVSD and City coordinate organic turf management trainings for area land managers and the community The City of Boulder and Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) have partnered to develop test and share new approaches to landscape management aimed at enhancing the health safety and community benefit of public green spaces One element of this initiative is the expansion of turf management practices that reduce or eliminate the need for synthetic inputs like pesticides To share knowledge and expand the impact of these practices BVSD and the city will co-host a training session for local grounds maintenance managers led by an internationally recognized leader in organic turf management Community members interested in implementing organic turf management at home are invited to attend a presentation from the People and Pollinators Action Network (PPAN) at the Boulder Library’s Canyon Theater Reducing synthetic chemical use in public landscapes has significant community benefits reducing chemical runoff into vegetation and waterways and protecting natural systems that support health “The protection and support of the health and safety of our students and broader community is a fundamental goal of the school district,” said Rob Price Assistant Superintendent for Operations at BVSD “We have a long history of collaboration with the city and are excited to work together to advance the adoption of organic turf management practices that can enhance the health of both our school grounds and our school communities.” The City of Boulder began transitioning to an ecosystem-based integrated pest management and organic turf management approach in the early 2000s it is recognized nationally for its leadership in sustainable land management BVSD has partnered with the city to align its landscape practices with similar standards “This collaboration with BVSD allows us to share the best practices we have learned over the past 15 years,” said Brett KenCairn Senior Policy Advisor for the city’s Nature-based Climate Solutions team “It also supports a broader initiative to create more climate-resilient landscapes that provide cooling and protection against the escalating impacts of climate change.” PPAN has also published a step-by-step guide to organic turf management Sign up for the presentation and visit our website to learn more

Gabriel, a six-year player in college who was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year according to ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. but he was a player (Andrew) Berry and (Kevin) Stefanski said they coveted after several interactions with him during the draft cycle."  The purpose of the slide lets you know that no matter how great you are there’s been discussions of the way he conducts himself and now it came back to haunt him Flacco is more than likely the starter giving Sanders the opportunity to learn while he understands the system This gives Shedeur the opportunity to understand the playbook and the nuances of the National Football League While there was chatter of Sanders wanting to be a day-one starter as a rookie having Flacco’s experience is a positive for his advancement.  he won Coach of the Year two out of his first five seasons as the Browns head coach His ability to navigate through the yearly QB carousel in Cleveland says a lot of him Stefanski is a sort of QB whisperer in his own right He won his second COTY while using three different signal-callers and managed to end with an 11-5 record “I'll make sure we have a super team next year!” USA; Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders (2) and safety Shilo Sanders (21) pose for a photo before the game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Folsom Field Mandatory Credit: Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images / Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images“If we would have went first round,” Shilo said laughingly He was gonna have his whole NIL Collective.” Though Shedeur ultimately wasn’t a first-round selection, his presence in Boulder left a lasting mark. Alongside Shilo and their father, Colorado coach Deion Sanders Shedeur helped reshape the identity of Colorado football during one of its most high-profile seasons in recent memory His promise to contribute to the Buffaloes’ NIL collective wasn’t just a soundbite—it was a vision if it had come to life with a first-round payday Top picks in the 2025 NFL Draft signed contracts worth as much as $48 million while even late first-rounders landed deals around the $13 million range being drafted in the fifth round by the Cleveland Browns—will earn an estimated $4.6 million over four years giving new weight to his brother Shilo’s recent comments about Shedeur’s plans Colorado regarding NIL The potential generosity wasn’t just symbolic—it could have been substantial MORE: Cleveland Browns Make Kenny Pickett Contract Move After Drafting Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel MORE: Deion Sanders' Former Texas Mansion For Sale For $5.5 Million MORE: Tom Brady's Strong Words About Shedeur Sanders 'Example' Amid NFL Draft Fall Shedeur’s financial standing isn’t built solely on the NFL he reportedly earned $6.5 million in NIL deals working with high-profile brands like Google and Nike That places him at the forefront of a broader movement—and positions Colorado as an innovator in NIL culture where NIL collectives now play a massive role in shaping rosters and retaining top talent Shedeur’s idea to reinvest NFL money back into his alma mater shows a strategic awareness of the unfolding landscape Colorado is quickly becoming a case study in how NIL can be both progressive and personal.

Sanders now has a shot to make the Bucs’ 53-man roster But it will ultimately come down to his performance on the field — not the efforts of his agent Hunter Cookston began his career as a sportswriter for the Marion Tribune where he covered local high school football His passion for sports started at the age of four when he played his first year of tee ball he developed a deep love for the Tennessee Volunteers and Atlanta Braves Hunter is currently attending Tennessee Wesleyan University where he is pursuing a BA in Sports Communications/Management The slide was historic. The logic behind it was revealing. It was completely avoidable. However, about the time Philadelphia was selecting Alabama LB Jihaad Campbell, Shedeur Sanders became the recurring focus. Fans all over the NFL map complaining if the draft coverage was ever going to stop asking if this is the pick where Shedeur Sanders comes off the board.  Care of a Well Off Media video posted later that day, of the eldest Sanders child Deiondra was seen playing outside with the newest Sanders, baby Snow while Shedeur contemplated in the distance. Then the ‘draft phone’ rang. On the other line was Cleveland Browns General Manager Andrew Berry and Head Coach Kevin Stefanski What followed next can only be described as the euphoric feeling for player and family when the call comes just before the sense of ‘all is lost’ creeps in Once the call came in and Shedeur was off the board the next step of the blueprint came through The influx of fans feels like a Sanders staple at this point The first domino was rapper Sexyy Red who tweeted her intentions to be at Browns games this season Predictably followed by the Gillie and Wallo (longtime friends of the Sanders family) pick reaction with Wallo pledging his new loyalties to the Cleveland Browns The CU Aunties and Prime fans have begun to show themselves in Browns circles and so far they have been rather pleasant acclimating themselves to a new fanbase.  Jeff Schudel asked “what kind of burden was it being Deion Sanders’ son?” Immediately pushing back Shedeur claiming I feel like God makes everybody go down a path The rest is on me.” When asked about the narratives and what’s been said about him Shedeur leaned into wanting to prove Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski right by choosing him.  Aaron Goldhammer of ESPN Cleveland’s “Really Big Show” voiced concerns about Shedeur posting workout videos Funny how that’s not an issue when every Clevelanders favorite player Nick Chubb does it No problem if The Chief David Njoku does it but because Shedeur has something to prove most of that has quelled since learning that Shedeur made it to #1 in rookie jersey sales in a little under 72 hours The jersey sales thing combined with the workout videos and the trip to John Marshall High School all converging at once to create a tone switch by most of the media Ken Carman a long time Cleveland voice on the radio said the following and it’s a simple microcosm of the switch in feeling on Shedeur If he’s conducting himself seriously and dammit guys If he’s conducting himself seriously and he has more talent than Dillon Gabriel or shows more promise than Kenny Pickett Emi Smith, Media Relations, 720-822-9529Brendan Picker-Mahoney Lectures will provide insight into the artistic process and provide opportunities to engage in creative exploration of important issues of our times The City of Boulder’s Community Vitality Department is launching an Experiments in Public Art Lecture Series designed to foster conversations about the role of artistic expression and the creative processes in our community’s critical and challenging issues Several of the lectures include a community workshop component allowing attendees to experiment with their own creations All lectures are free and will take place in the Canyon Theater at the Main Boulder Public Library The 2025 lecture series schedule is as follows: Ana Maria Hernando's lecture will be focused on her public art practice and the intersection of femininity and the built environment will be on display in the conoid entrance of the Main Boulder Public Library during May Molly Gambardella will discuss climate change and the use of recycled materials in artmaking Her event will include an installation of large-scale recycled flowers around the library for the weekend Francesca Rodriguez Sawaya and Renata Gaui: Thursday Francesca Rodriguez Sawaya and Renata Gaui's lecture will talk about their work at the intersection of weaving and computer coding It will also include an interactive AR activity for attendees Sarah and Joseph Belknap will center their lecture around their art practice using found objects and community building Their event also includes a community artmaking workshop under the full moon at the Sunrise Amphitheater in Boulder Open Space Bimmer Torres's lecture will be about his murals from street art and graffiti to large-scale municipal mural projects His event will also include a community mural-making workshop at the Main Boulder Public Library in collaboration with Street Wise Arts “This lecture series is designed to inspire community members to recognize and celebrate the creativity that exists all around them,” said Brendan Picker-Mahoney “We hope attendees leave feeling more deeply connected to their environment and the creative possibilities it holds Our goal is also to showcase best practices in the field of public art and we’re thrilled to welcome such talented speakers -

One had expressed distress over the extinction of the golden toad — Incilius periglenes — a species that vanished here a neon ghost extinguished by the combined forces of climate warming and chytrid fungus Another described climate tipping points not as abstractions but as lived thresholds — the moment cloud cover shifts just enough to collapse the delicate hydrological cycles of an entire biome I shared meals and mudslides with classmates — young incandescent — who planted native trees like prayers and argued fiercely over environmental ethics until the rain turned our notebooks to pulp We were not there to escape the world.We were there to confront it We have been taught to think of nature as a backdrop.As scenery for human drama.But the biosphere is not a stage — it is a finely tuned system We are 60% water.Our bones are built of calcium that once flowed through ancient seas.We inhale air exhaled by trees.There is no border between the human body and the biosphere—it is all one metabolism Regeneration Is Possible — But Conditional It is adaptive.It heals — when given the chance Marine reserves see fish biomass increase up to 670% within a decade of protection.Rewilding projects across Europe have reintroduced wolves, beavers, lynx — restoring ecological balance to landscapes once stripped of it.When monocultures are replaced with regenerative agriculture, soil carbon begins to recover. Hydrology stabilizes. Insects return. Regeneration is not fantasy. It is ecology.But it is conditional.And the condition is us. We must stop pretending we are spectators.We are agents. Monteverde did not awaken me gently.It broke me open. I cried watching a hummingbird sip nectar from a flower that bloomed on a tree once scorched by fire. I touched the wet bark of a strangler fig and felt the blood-hum of something older than language. I looked into the eyes of people who were terrified — and organizing anyway. It is not naive to care.It is naive to believe we can continue as we are. The defining feature of being human is not dominion — it is responsibility.And if this generation is defined by anything, let it be this: we saw collapse and chose creation. We pressure institutions. We divest from fossil fuels. We vote with ferocity.We rewild our lawns. We plant native species. We compost. We walk. We educate ourselves.We reject the culture of infinite growth on a finite planet.We treat climate action not as a sacrifice, but as a reclamation of meaning. And above all, we teach ourselves — and our children — to look up.To track the moving sky.To remember that time is not infinite.That the planet is still offering herself to us. This is not a burden we bear because we are virtuous.It is a gift we accept because we are alive. Because the forests cannot lobby.Because the reefs cannot litigate.Because the ice sheets cannot scream.But we can. A scorched silence.A data set of what once was.A future haunted by our failure to act. Today we fought.Today we feel.Today we choose to love this Earth ferociously — until it heals. head coach of the Colorado men's basketball team is strategizing to fill at least one open scholarship spot on the roster With the recent addition of Denver transfer Jon Mani and previous signing of Barrington Hargress the focus has shifted to reinforcing the frontcourt Boyle indicated a potential need for up to two new frontcourt players as the Buffs look to improve their rebounding capabilities after losing key players could allow Boyle to adjust his scholarship strategy As the Buffaloes look to finalize their roster Boyle will monitor available talent while also seeking a multi-skilled assistant coach The decisions made in the coming weeks could significantly impact team depth and recruitment strategies The CU Buffs are at a pivotal point in roster development the next moves will be critical in shaping their competitive edge for the upcoming season They'll be on hand to try to bring in another list of elite high school players headlined by two five-stars.  "Might not blow you away off the hoof with his build but game tape paints a different picture as he dips rips and swipes his way through and around obstacles," Andrew Ivins 247Sports' Andrew Ivins wrote about Kreul "Has proven to be an extremely efficient mover that can plant and redirect with little waisted motion Owns a near complete menu of moves and is quick to cycle them as he likes to keep opponents guessing."  Colorado only has one player in the 2026 class which is three-star JUCO edge rusher Domata Peko Jr.
