Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. New housing development opens in Broomfield for people with disabilities, but demand far exceeds available units (coloradosun.com) — A new 40-unit Grove at Cottonwood complex in Broomfield is now opening apartments, including 10 units with on-site supports for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, but demand already far exceeds supply. Local families, FRIENDS of Broomfield, and the Broomfield Housing Alliance describe how this project helps residents like David Myers and Gabrielle Gonzales, while highlighting long waitlists and funding limits statewide.
2. Broomfield High's ex cheer coach no longer with program after summer arrest (dailycamera.com) — Broomfield High School's former varsity cheer coach is no longer with the program after a July 4 arrest on a misdemeanor physical harassment charge in Douglas County. District officials say he was placed on leave in early July and separated from Boulder Valley School District in August, though he still appears online as head coach. His next court hearing is Monday.
3. 'Shakespeare In The Parking Lot' Performs Free Shows This Fall (milehighonthecheap.com) — Broomfield residents can catch a free, abridged performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream when the traveling "Shakespeare in the Parking Lot" production stops at Broomfield Library on September 26 at noon. The pickup-truck-based show also visits Westminster, Denver and Erie, with all performances free and bring-your-own-chair friendly for a casual, family-oriented theater experience.
4. A legacy of doubt: Former CBI forensic scientist who mishandled DNA sentenced to 10 years in prison (kkco11news.com) — Broomfield cases are among dozens statewide potentially affected by former CBI forensic scientist Yvonne "Missy" Woods, who was sentenced in Jefferson County to 10 years in prison for manipulating DNA evidence. Her misconduct triggered reviews of more than a thousand cases, overturned at least one Boulder murder conviction, and forced CBI to spend millions clearing a massive testing backlog.
