Rockfall potential increases during spring storms in Colorado
If you're heading up to the mountains in Colorado, watch out for rock slides and rockfall If you're heading up to the mountains in Colorado, watch out for rock slides and rockfall If you're heading up to the mountains in Colorado, watch out for rock slides and rockfall The Colorado Department of Transportation says springtime in Colorado and all the moisture that comes with it is problematic when it comes to rock slides and rockfalls along roadways in the mountain corridor. The persistent freeze-thaw cycle during the season opens cracks and loosens rocks, increasing the probability for slides. The department says there's no extra work needed to make sure that drivers continue to be safe when they're headed up to the high country, however. CBS "There are about 750 locations that are identified for chronic rockfall," said Austyn Dineen, I-70 mountain corridor CDOT spokesperson. "Our teams are on the ground always making sure that they're keeping a close eye on what could come down on the roads." That varies between rock scaling activity, scraping the sidewalls of canyons to try and knock loose any rocks that are ready to roll, as well as netting in especially well-known areas, like Interstate 70 near Georgetown in Clear Creek County, in order to catch rocks crews know will fall eventually and to keep them out of the road. Still, it's up to drivers to keep their wits about them as they travel into the state's higher elevations, and CDOT is actually asking for your help getting their work done as fast as possible, thanks to a reporting system on the COtrip app. "As long as you have that downloaded, you can snap a photo and you can get our teams there as soon as possible to make sure that everything is safe on the roads," Dineen said.

Oilers Projected Lineup Today: Stuart Skinner Returns
The weight is off. It took a little longer than anyone had hoped, but the Edmonton Oilers finally punched their ticket to the Stanley Cup Playoffs on Friday night. As a reward, they can give their injured players the extra time off they need--while also easing them back into the lineup in a relatively low-stakes game. Advertisement Bookmark The Hockey News Edmonton Oilers team site to never miss the latest news, game-day coverage, and more. That's how goalie Stuart Skinner will return to game action, starting against the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday in his first start since suffering a head injury against the Dallas Stars on March 26th. Skinner owns a 24-18-4 record and an .894 save percentage on the year. He'll be joined in his return by defenseman Cam Dineen, back in Edmonton after Mattias Ekholm's aborted comeback attempt on Friday. Dineen received his second emergency call-up in three days on Saturday, filling in for the injured Ekholm and Jake Walman. Dineen has 43 points in 59 games in the AHL this year and played one game for the Oilers on March 6th.

The rest of the lineup should stay the same as their win on Friday, with Evan Bouchard, Darnell Nurse, and Brett Kulak likely slated for huge minutes for a third consecutive game. Bouchard, in particular, has been a beast, playing more than 28 minutes in each of his last two games. They'll face off against a Winnipeg Jets team that's also locked into a playoff spot, having clinched the Central Division title on Saturday. A win over the Oilers on Sunday would clinch the Jets' first-ever Presidents' Trophy. Advertisement The Oilers and Jets face off at 5:00 MT, on Sportsnet.

Founder of nonprofit educational group Reading Quest discusses new headquarters, summer programming
Reading Quest is a Santa Fe nonprofit that provides free, structured literacy tutoring and social-emotional support for hundreds of students a week in Northern New Mexico. Its founder and executive director, Rayna Dineen, has worked in education for 45 years and said she loves teaching. Dineen co-directed the Cariño Community Children Program in partnership with Santa Fe Public Schools and worked at New Vistas prior to founding the Santa Fe School for the Arts & Sciences in 2000, serving as a teaching principal there for 13 years. She also worked as an education consultant and literacy researcher for four years for EL Education, an education nonprofit group serving hundreds of schools across the country. The New Mexican submitted several questions to Dineen about her organization, which is in the middle of moving to a new home, and what it seeks to accomplish. Some of her responses have been edited for clarity and style. Question: Can you tell me about the free event you have planned to celebrate your organization's move into your new space? Answer: We are hosting a fun event called Gather & Games on Sunday, April 6, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at our new space at 509 Camino de los Marquez, next door to Zoomies Doggie Day Care. Guests can choose to visit with one of our 'Reading Chef' students, each of whom will have a menu of books for each visitor to choose from and have read to them. Guests can also choose to play an adult game, such as Taboo and Pictionary. We will have food and drinks, as well as tours of our new space. The event is sponsored by Nusenda Credit Union, and we are very grateful to them for their support. Question: Why is your organization making the move and will the new space allow you to do things that you couldn't do in your former home? Answer: We loved our former home, which was generously donated by Growing Up New Mexico for eight years. However, Growing Up New Mexico is in the midst of a strategic renovation of their center and needs the space for their offices. Question: How long has this move been envisioned, and what kind of financial resources were required to make it possible? Answer: We were not planning to move at this time, but it has all worked because our new space is ideal for us right now! The only drawback is that we now must now pay rent! Question: Can you tell me about the free summer tutoring program you have planned, how many youngsters you hope to reach and how they can register for the program? Answer: We will be providing individual one-on-one tutoring sessions for 100 students in grades K-8 who are struggling with reading. The hourlong sessions will be offered at our new home from June 9-26 and from July 7-31. Students can attend between one and four days each week. Each student will receive professional, science-of-reading-based support in a super-fun, engaging way that includes games, great books, stickers and prizes. Teachers can refer students using the teacher referral form on our website — and parents can write to readingquestcenter@ to sign up their child. Question: You've said your programs are having very good results in pueblo schools, along with public and charter schools. Do you have any figures you can share that show the kind of progress students are making? Answer: We collect pre- and post-test scores each year — and while we do not yet have the end-of-year scores for this year, we have midyear scores from one of our pueblo schools that show the average growth on Istation was 30 points during the first semester! Each year since we started, our test scores show an average growth of one and a half years or more depending on how many days a week we tutor each student, with some students making two to three years' growth in one year. Reading Quest campers advanced, on average, one grade level in oral reading during each two-week-long camp for the past 13 years. Question: With the move into your new home, it seems like a good time to discuss the evolution of Reading Quest. How has the organization evolved over the years and how do you see it changing in the future? Answer: Reading Quest began tutoring just 40 students a week — and we are now serving close to 500! We are currently tutoring at Santo Domingo, Cochiti and Ohkay Owingeh pueblo schools; Enos Garcia and Ranchos Elementary schools in Taos; Aspen, Sweeney, César Chávez and Turquoise Trail Charter School in Santa Fe, and Rio Gallinas Charter School in West Las Vegas. We have an incredibly diverse team of 31 adult reading specialists, in addition to 15 wonderful teen tutors, some of whom are in the amazing Work Based Learning program. We provide workshops on teaching reading and positive classroom management for teachers and parents at schools, and for volunteer tutors in town. Our program has expanded to reach many newcomer students who are learning English, in addition to students with special needs. We have created teaching videos and resources, which can be found on our website, Question: What are the biggest challenges your organization faces? Answer: Our most valuable resource is our incredible team of tutors — and each year we need to raise all of the funds to pay them well! Since our services are free, this is always our biggest challenge. The other challenge is raising enough funds to expand and serve the increasing number of schools who are requesting our services.
