Border Patrol at GSHS continued from page 6 that had been in place with the previous career expo organizer.

However, Nila does not accept Freeman’s initial explanation. She said, “He is the principal of the school, so he should have had good enough communication to know what's going on in his school. It just doesn't make sense.”

The career expo incident garnered media attention on the Front Range with news reports by the CBS News Denver TV network and in the Denver Westword newspaper.

Nila told The Sopris Sun, “I appreciate the apologies, but I believe this incident shows what has been ignored for years. It's clear that some adults don't have proper education on Latino concerns.”

Sánchez and others within the Latino community want to see the Safe Haven Resolution enacted into district policy, with hopes that in doing so, the district supports its Latino students.

Fentanyl continued from page 7 use the standing order. Most insurers cover it, including Medicaid.

People can download the OpiRescue App which connects them to resources in their area and provides information such as how to recognize an overdose.

“If you get Naloxone and download OpiRescue, now you’re equipped,” Valuck concluded.

Keep the Party Safe is currently working with music festival and concert organizers, primarily in the Denver area at this point, to help spread their messaging. The group hopes to make an official announcement on May 9, National Fentanyl Awareness Day.

GarCo Report continued from page 7 by the State of Oregon was upheld by the federal government in 2021. Weidner did not seem to know much about the project or its status. Samson said that efforts are now focused on a pipeline to Mexico, blaming the urban politics of Portland for the demise of Jordan Cove.

Weidner said he met last week with Democratic Congresswoman Val Hoyle, who represents Coos Bay, Oregon, which would have been home to the Jordan Cove liquid natural gas plant. He asked the BOCC if they thought it would be worth it to talk to Hoyle about reversing the Jordan Cove decision. “I'd love to talk to her personally,” gushed Samson. “I still, in the heart of my hearts, would love to see the [Jordan Cove project] go forward,” adding that it would be a win-win for the West, Japan, Germany and other foreign markets.

Organ Donation continued from page 22 donor and recipient who both are HIV-positive, Rochel explained, debunking the notion that an HIV-positive person wouldn’t have the opportunity to be a donor.

Seven-thousand children and adults die each year while awaiting an organ transplant. Rochel went on to explain that every nine-minutes someone is added to the organ transplant wait list, and that adds up to 160 people each day. During Donate Life Month, these staggering facts are being passed onto Colorado residents, to encourage people of all ages, histories and identities to register to become donors.

As someone who is about to get their driver's license in the next few months, this reporter feels ready to answer the DMV when asked about being an organ donor.
