📰 News we're reading

• A Look Back at 1910 (goldentoday.com) — Golden residents get a charming snapshot of life here on August 25, 1910, from smoky skies to debates over graveling 10th Street and the Golden-Denver Boulevard. The old Colorado Transcript also spotlighted a heroic "Golden woman," early suffrage debates, and local advertising, offering a vivid window into how our town once looked and thought.
   

• Chainsaw-wielding youth are helping with fire mitigation in Colorado neighborhoods (cpr.org) — Just south of Golden, young adults with Mile High Youth Corps are thinning trees and clearing evacuation routes in Genesee to reduce wildfire risk to nearby homes. Their chainsaw training doubles as career preparation for wildland firefighting while reshaping dense forests into healthier, more fire-resilient landscapes.
