Opinion: Search and rescue overwhelmed by a generation “expecting to get rescued”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:51 GMT

When I was leading groups into the Wyoming wilderness in the 1990s, once we left a trailhead we were on our own.If somebody got hurt, we could walk or carry the injured person out or send runners to the road to call for support. In the case of a life- or limb-threatening emergency, we could use a transponder to try to send a coded message to a passing aircraft, pleading for help.Things have definitely changed.“People expect to be rescued,” said Tod Schimelfenig, who has been on the search and rescue team for Fremont County, Wyoming, since the 1970s. “Maybe it’s that a whole generation has grown up with instant communication, and that drives what they do when they go into the wilderness.”What they do, according to Schimelfenig, is go farther and attempt more difficult objectives, which means demands on search and rescue teams have increased sharply over the last decade.The United States has a patchwork of search and rescue organizations charged with responding to backcountry emergenc...

Where will mayor-elect Mike Johnston house homeless? “The easy sites are gone.”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:51 GMT

When mayor-elect Mike Johnston takes office, Denver will have more tools than ever to provide stopgap housing options to people living homeless on its streets.Tiny home villages, safe outdoor spaces populated with heavy-duty tents and parking lots that can host people living in their vehicles overnight are all now permanent options in Denver’s land use code following a City Council action in early June.These are the tools Johnston will need to deliver on his cornerstone campaign promise to eliminate homelessness in Denver in four years.But standing up temporary housing sites at a scale that meets the city’s deep needs remains an unmet challenge. Johnston has repeatedly expressed confidence he can secure the money to pay for his ambitious, tiny home-based homelessness plan. Still, another major question remains: Where will these communities go?“The easy sites are gone,” said outgoing City Councilwoman Robin Kniech, one of the driving forces behind the law chan...

Two cyclists, both badly injured in hit-and-runs, struggle with what they’ve lost

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:29:51 GMT

For nearly an hour, Lisa Ludwig had worked her way through a physical therapy session led by a therapist in Nebraska who was watching, instructing and encouraging her via Zoom video. After some exercises in the living room of her home high on a mountain near Evergreen, she’d gone outside for walking drills on a wrap-around deck with a stunning view of Mount Evans, cracking jokes and teasing her husband, Dave.Still suffering from cognitive deficits caused by a traumatic brain injury that she sustained on Father’s Day last year when she was struck by a hit-and-run driver while cycling with friends, she took slow, halting steps — with a walker, with two poles, with one hand on the railing of the deck, and then hand-in-hand with Dave.Suddenly Ludwig decided to try something that wasn’t on her PT program last Tuesday. And for the first time in 359 days since she was rushed from a roadside trauma scene near El Rancho to St. Anthony Hospital where she lay in a coma ...
