Colorado Education Association President Kevin Vick spoke earlier today on
Colorado's Morning News.
Speaker 8 (01:13):
Given the state's budget challenges, we're hearing all over again
that we were going to start this cycle of cuts again,
and so I think educators by this point are incredibly
frustrated and we're not standing for it any longer.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Two to three thousand teachers are expected to protest. The
classroom closures will impact close to two hundred thousand students.
The Colorado Education Association's rally begins at eleven thirty this morning.

The rally comes as President Trump is getting ready to
eliminate the Department of Education.
Speaker 9 (01:45):
President Trump plans to sign an executive order directing Education
Secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps permitted by
law to dissolve the department she oversees. It follows sweeping
cuts to the agency last week, slashing nearly that the
DOE Workforce curriculum decisions are already handled at state and
local levels. Critics say abolishing the Education Department will hurt

Aurora police, but they say the officers refuse to help.
City councilwoman Danielle Durinski defending the officers, it is not.

in the country illegally, insisting the President was right to
or order last weekend's flights that transported trend de Aragua
members to a maximum security prison in El Salvador.
Speaker 11 (03:07):
They are sending money not only throughout this country to
each other, but back to Venezuela. They are a terrorist
organization and we are not going to have that in
our country.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
A federal judge ordered those flights to stop. A Texas
Republican congressman has introduced impeachment articles to remove the judge
who ruled against the deportation flights.

Ukraine was it with more Russian bombings overnight, just hours
after President Trump assured President Zelenski that a ceasefire was near.
Speaker 12 (04:15):
In a stunning development, Trump offered to take ownership of
Ukraine's electrical supply and nuclear power plants, saying America could
offer the best protection. It could include Europe's largest nuclear
plant at Zaparisha, which Russia currently occupies.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
At least initially.
Speaker 12 (04:31):
Ukraine seems open to the idea.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
There'll be further talks this weekend.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That's ABC's James Longman. More Israeli attacks in Gaza overnight.
The Hamas run health Ministry says at least fifty eight
people were killed in the latest ground attack.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You know the bombardments are going to continue. We know
that there's now boots on the ground.
Speaker 13 (04:49):
Does it turn into a full scale reinvasion of Gaza.
Speaker 14 (04:52):
We're not there yet, but the fact that you know
these troops are now back on the ground is a
significant escalation.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
As ABC's Matt rivers, it's.
Speaker 14 (05:00):
Time for the madness to begin.

Order to get to the Big Dan to need the
proper shoes to be in the NCAA's top division, but
the Tritons weren't for the longest time, and coach Eric
Olan remembers it.
Speaker 16 (05:21):
I can remember back twenty years ago when there weren't
a whole lot of people come into the game.
Speaker 15 (05:26):
At times are different now and Owen loves how this
team has captured the hearts of the campus.
Speaker 16 (05:31):
If we put a really good products on the floor,
we felt like our campus and our community would support
great basketball, and so that's proven to be true.
Speaker 15 (05:40):
The Trentons have a tough task going up against Michigan,
but just to be here as an accomplishment itself. At
Ball Arena, Rob Doss and Keawait.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
The Seattle areas, and we expect that a rand to

Speaker 4 (06:02):
That's going to be gooditar The Rams were on a
ten game winning streak, will be tipping with Memphis at
Newton tomorrow, and.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
An annual festival at Civic Center Park will.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Not be free anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
We're talking about one of the country's largest four twenty festivals,
which you'll have to buy a ticket for this year.
Speaker 17 (06:19):
For the first time, you'll have to fork out at
least twenty bucks to get into the Cannabis Festival on
April twentieth. The price climbs even higher if you want
to get high in the vip lounge, with some tickets
going for as much as one hundred and eighty nine
bucks after fees. Of course, that includes a meet and
greet with the events headliner, Stoner comic Tommy Chong, Brenda Stewart,
(06:42):
Koway News.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
You know how many people are going to show up
and go, wait, ama a ticket this year?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Come on?
Speaker 14 (06:48):
I mean even when it was free, you had to reserve.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
A ticket and people would show up and go Wait.
You had to reserve a ticket this year, so now
you have to buy one. I think there's gonna be
fewer people doing that for sure.
Speaker 18 (06:59):
But they don't just standing outside the fencers.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It doesn't matter. They will just be hanging out for sure.
The Newsguy sponsored by done Right Home Improvement, Business and
Money News with Pat Wizard coming up next. But first,
let's take a look at your drive in a ka
Wait traffic center. Here's Jonathan Steele.
Speaker 13 (07:15):
Yeah, I've tracked down two crashes, one on I seventy
westbound at Peoria. It's the right side of the highway
that's blocked at least one right lane. Anyway, it's a
little slow through there, it's not a real big jam. Course,
volume better than average, lighter than normal. Ahead of that,
it's a little slow back towards I twenty five, but
you definitely want to keep to the left.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Maybe add a couple of minutes.
Speaker 13 (07:34):
And the one on the turnpike at Wadsworth is on
the right shoulder, even though it's slow from Sheridan getting
up through Broomfield, but from there it opens up beautifully
all the way to Boulder. I got some traffic coming
into downtown. It looks like south around twentieth that's kind
of bunching two two five round Parker. Same situation there,
as well as two seventy three Vosquez as you head
west up through that stretch out of Commerce City. Jonathan
(07:55):
Steel on KWAIT eight fifty am and ninety for one FM.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Catwit are joining us with more business and money news.
Speaker 14 (08:03):
It may be one and done for the latest Wall
Street rally.
Speaker 18 (08:06):
Well that's the way things were shaping up after the
opening bell. But you know what, things have kind of
turned around a bit right now. The Dow is up fifty,
that AAZAC is up sixty, the S and P is
up fifteen. Still topping or mashing yesterday seems tough without
another boostlight, the one from the Federal Reserve. It did
not lower interest rates, but also didn't seem all that
concerned about the impact of tariffs on inflation. Still, while
(08:28):
Fetcher Powell says the economy.
Speaker 19 (08:29):
Is strong, recent indications, however, point to a moderation in
consumer spending following the rapid growth seen over the second
half of twenty twenty four. Surveys of households and businesses
point to heightened uncertainty about the economic outlook.
Speaker 18 (08:43):
That is hinting it'll cut interest rates maybe twice this year.
Another factor that'll influence the Fed's actions this year is
the job market. We've got new numbers in on the
length of the nation's on employment lines.
Speaker 20 (08:54):
So Labor Department says two hundred and twenty three thousand
initial jobless claims were filed in the week leading up
to March fifteenth, two thousand more than the week before
and in line with what analysts were anticipating. The less
swallidle weekly moving average has remained fairly consistent since the
start of winter. In all, one point nine million out
of work Americans are receiving jobless benefit.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Hec's Jim Ryan.
Speaker 18 (09:15):
It's not clear if the CEO of Amtrak was run
out of town on a rail, but he is leading
his job.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Even Gardner said he was stepping down amid concerns from
the Trump administration. His resignation comes after Elon Musk suggested
earlier this month that Amtrak should become a privately owned company.
Amtrak later issued a statement pushing back against the idea,
claiming that passed efforts to privatize various Amtrak operations had
proven unsuccessful.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm Michael Cassen. Recall alert.
Speaker 18 (09:43):
Two hundred thousand cans of green beans sold at Target
stores in a number of states, including here in Colorado,
sold under the Good and Gather brand. The Green Deans
are being recalled because of possible contamination by what they
call a foreign object, usually that indicates plastic or metal.
This update brought to you by the Dever Metro Chamber
(10:03):
of Commerce. Our next updates at eight thirty eight potwaterd
KOA Moneyers.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
In KOA Sports March Madness underway today, including four games
at Ball Arena. Koa's Keenan Dixon is there will be
there today covering all those games for us.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Morning.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Keenan, good morning, Happy happy March.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
First to everybody who observes the March Madness.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yes, and now you've covered March Madness games in the past.
Describe how the atmosphere when you've got like team fans
from eight different teams all in one arena, how does.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That compare to a to a regular season game.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It's unbelievable because you really get the mix of all
those different fans coming in and you see which fan
bases truly travel really well to phillip An Arena. Last
year I was at in Omaha and just seeing the environment.
I mean, teams from all over the country, fans from
all over the country short notice, having to travel and
(11:02):
make their way to whatever city they were given, and
you know, they really pack it out. It's a fun time.
It's the best time to watch college basketball because it's
four games in one day.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And so do you think BYU or Montana will have
the biggest contingent in Denver today.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Based on population. I'm gonna say BYU just because there's
more people from Utah in Utah, Montana is a much
smaller state, But I think Montana's gonna have a good
showing from what I've heard, from what I've seen so far,
there's been a lot of them that have made their
way here. Obviously a short trip for them, a kind
of a gift for a fourteen seed from Montana to
(11:42):
get a trip so close.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And for those that don't know, Keenan is very much
a college basketball expert.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So I'm going to ask you to prognosticate for is Keenan.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Out of the four games today, which one do you
think has the biggest chance to be an upset?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
The biggest chance, I would say be VCU BYU. I
think that is gonna really be a big test for BYU.
VCU had a tough road through the Atlantic ten. You know,
they found a way going and beating George Mason, which
was presumably a tournament team if the SEC didn't get
(12:18):
fourteen teams in so that conference could have had two teams.
BYU is still a really good team. I think they'll
find a way to squeak that one out. But there's
three really good games today that I think could have
upsets Yale, Texas A and M the thirteen to four game,
and UC San Diego the tournament debutants against the Big
Ten champion in the five spot, Michigan, which was really
(12:38):
a surprising seeding for them. But there's some really good
matchups in Inwivid T Jones and Tyler mcguy for UC
San Diego combining for thirty seven points per game. They'll
have to find a way to stop a seven foot
one Vladislav Golden from Michigan and his eighteen points per game.
Yale has all the momentum in that matchup against Texas
A and M. They've won sixteen of their last seventeen.
They beat Princeton an IVY League title game, Princeton this
(13:01):
guy and Zavi and Lee who's probably an NBA player,
and they were able to stop him. Texas A and
M has kind of backed into the tournaments. We've lost
five of their last seven, but they've won two games
in the SEC tournament to help themselves get a four seed.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It's going to be a great time koas Keenan Dixon,
thanks for joining us and have fun at the tournament
over this weekend.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
They can't wait.
Speaker 21 (13:23):
Colorado's Morning News AOA news time eight seventeen, two ice
detainees are on the run after escaping a detention facility
in a roar Up Countswoman Danielle Durinsky says a power
outage caused a door to unlock at the facility Tuesday nights,
allowing the susbecks to.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Walk off the premises. The two were arrested last month
in Douglas County. I says it notified local authorities about
the escapees, but they declined to assist in the search.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
They're calling her the Super Bowl scammer.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
The Irapo County Sheriff's office asking for help locating a
woman accused of stealing thousands of dollars from Colorado's who
thought that they were buying tike It's to the Big Game.
The suspect, who went by Gigi Levy, reportedly convinced people
to purchase fake tickets, flights, and hotel reservations.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Even claimed to be a lawyer with Live.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Nation to sell a fake sixty eight hundred dollars Super
Bowl package. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked
to contact authorities.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
The American astronauts who are stuck on the International Space
Station for nine months will be visiting the White House
once they've recovered. But Willmore and Sunny Williams return to
Earth on Tuesday. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said
President Trump took action as soon as he returned to
office to bring Wilmore and Williams back earlier then scheduled.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And today the first day of Spring.
Speaker 22 (14:39):
The first day of spring represents the vernal equinox in
the northern Hemisphere. Fun fact, vernal translates to new and fresh,
and equinox is derived from Latin for equal and to night.
The vernal equinox is an astronomical event when the Sun
aligns with the Earth's equator. It's one of only two
times during the year that the equator is not tilted
toward or away from the Sun. The other one is
(15:01):
the autumnal equinox, which happens in the fall. Tanya Jay
Powers Fox News.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Well, bringing a Bengal tiger to the theater stage is
no easy task.
Speaker 14 (15:09):
We'll explain how The Life of a Pie does it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Coming up next first, so let's get a check on
traffic from the KOA Traffic Center.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Here's Jonathan Steele.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
Yeah, latest problem being reported, I seventy westbound and kippling
possible crash in there.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
It is tied up.
Speaker 13 (15:23):
That looks like too about Wadsworth, it'll start backing up
I seventy six there on that.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Merge as well. I'm not sure about the lane.
Speaker 13 (15:29):
But we'll try to check into that further I seventy westbound,
a pure you've got one sitting in the right lane
that is jamming traffic a little bit on I seventy,
but actually backing up the northbound two two five to
westbound I seventy flyover as you make that merge.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Two seventy is still pretty busy.
Speaker 13 (15:43):
The accident on the turnpike right shoulder there near Wadsworth.
Getting into Broomfield still slow from Sheridan out of curiosity.
Coming through other than that two two five is a
little busy. And if you're heading into the hills right now,
we do have some jamming coming down Floyd Hill, in
particular down towards the Veteran Memorial Tunnels.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Gotta be construction related.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
Looks a little unusual that you don't start rock blasting
or scaling until after nine am.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
But further west, the mountain roads.
Speaker 13 (16:09):
Look great all the way up to the divide and
beyond that point to veil roads are fairly dry. Jonathan
Steel on KOA eight fifty Am and not for one fm.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
AOA news time is eight twenty is Colorado's morning news.
Chad Bauer in for Marty Today alongside Gina Gondek.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
The Life of Pie is playing.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Now at the Bule, described as a theatrical event, not
a musical, but not your run of the mill drama either.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah, and joining us live in the KWA Commas beir
At Health Studio is koa's Kathy Walker. We both had
an opportunity to see the show on opening nights.
Speaker 14 (16:41):
Loved it, loved it, loved it very much.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
But you had an even cooler experience where you had
a chance to meet the people and the puppets behind
the show and it was super cool.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
Gina, let's start with the premise of the story. If
you don't know anything about the Life of Pie, John
Housh from the show explains it.
Speaker 23 (16:56):
Tragedy happens and there's a shipwreck and Pie finds some
so alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, a zebra,
an orangutang, and especially Richard Parker, who is a life
size Bengal Tiger.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Yeah, that life size Bengal tiger is played by three
different puppeteers. Richard Parker is really kind of the star
of the show. Betsy Rosen is the puppet captain. She says,
the tiger is played by the head, the heart, and
the hind.
Speaker 24 (17:27):
The heart puppeteer is inside the puppet and manipulates the
front pause. They're not stapped in or anything sort of
the spine of the tiger lays across the spinn of
the puppeteer, and then we have the hind puppeteer who's
doing a great job of hiding that in a pubpet
right here, you can barely see them. So the hind
puppeteer manipulates the back, paws and the tail.
Speaker 10 (17:48):
I shot some video at the news conference that they
had at the theater yesterday, Gina, and what I thought
was pretty interesting is that all three of these puppeteers
really work together and make all the sounds.
Speaker 24 (18:00):
All three puppeteers make all of the sounds live.
Speaker 14 (18:03):
In the show.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
I don't think I was aware of that as we
watched the show, that the actors were doing that, because.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
They all sounded very similar to what you would expect
the Bengal Tiger to sound like I didn't realize there
were so many different voices involved.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Agreed, and all eight puppeteers in the show rotate playing
all of the different characters.
Speaker 25 (18:23):
A lot of the show is choreographed for safety purposes
and for the fact that all of the team's mix. Now,
so this threesome will be in a show together, but
then tomorrow it'll be a different heart and a different
kind Anna will be.
Speaker 14 (18:37):
So think about that.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Telling this story without a script, and that really takes
a lot, a lot of practice.
Speaker 24 (18:45):
One minute of puppetry stage time is.
Speaker 25 (18:48):
Probably ten hours, twenty hours of rehearsal time, probably worn, honestly.
Speaker 10 (18:57):
But when you think about it, this story is pretty amazing,
and that it's not a musical, it's not a play
in a traditional sense. It won three Tony Awards, mostly
for the technical side of the show, but it also
won the Olivier Award for the Tiger. The puppeteers shared
the equivalent of a British Tony Award.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I'm curious if the Hearts if you learned anything about
if they have to do some back exercises or something
like that to be on all fours throughout the entire show.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
It's insane, great question, and we all asked about that.
Every last person in this show is either kind of
like a yoga master. And when I talked to one
on one with Taha Mandelvolla, the actor who plays the
lead in it, he says he uses all of his
skills to play this role to.
Speaker 26 (19:45):
The point of this being a show where I get
to pull from different parts of my life. I'm also
a certified personal trainer, I'm a health coach, and I've
a certified Parkore instructor as well.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
So Taha really uses everything and it was interesting to
me too. He even said on some level, he's a puppet.
There are moments in the show where the puppeteers lift.
Speaker 14 (20:07):
Him up and manipulate his body.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
It's really wild and the Parkore part of that makes
sense now because you saw him jumping up and down
on stage all the time, and he had the hops
for it too, so that was pretty cool to see.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Now, is there any ventilation in this this thing? Is
it really super hot? Inside?
Speaker 10 (20:24):
It's open, It's a carved costume if you will, so
you really can see the actors, but you really just
stop paying attention to them. They're dressed in land colors
and outfits, and so you just really stop paying attention
to them at all. You realize there are people inside
of the tiger, inside of all the other animals and
(20:45):
zebra all that, but you just you just lose your perspective.
Speaker 14 (20:49):
You're watching the actual animal puppet.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yeah, definitely go check out the video that Kathy posted
on our Instagram page at KWA Colorado because you have
to see it to completely understand what in the world.
It's not your typical puppet and it's not your typical
mascot either.
Speaker 14 (21:02):
It's a really cool operation that they have going on there.
Speaker 26 (21:05):
Yeah, and to sum it all up, it's a full
body and spirit exploration of these different elements of what
it means to be a human being. And so for myself,
it is a privilege getting to do.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It night after night.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
Taha manvoila as a star of the show.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Maybe maybe the tiger's the star of the show though
I know.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Right, it's really it really depends on how you want
to interpret it, because that is a that is a
really really cool thing to see. It's going on now
through March thirtieth at the Bule go check it out
Life a Pie.
Speaker 14 (21:33):
Thanks Cathy, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
The news is next right after we check in on
traffic from the Koa Traffic Center.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Here's Jonathan Steel.
Speaker 13 (21:43):
Yeah, we've got one crash just popping up out on
two two five northbound. It looks like it's going to
be approaching I seventy. I can't tell what lane is blocked. Uh,
never mind. It looks like the left lane is blocked there,
but I'm not seeing a huge backup, So as you're
coming through, certainly want to push right as you get
on the ramp there to get on too.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
West seventy.
Speaker 13 (22:00):
There's still a little bit of a gem up leftover
from a crash at Peoria.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
It's kind of sitting off to the right side of
the highway. Two seventy is.
Speaker 13 (22:06):
Still a little slow coming west up to Vosquez see
the Boulder Turnpike.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
That crash at Wadsworth is clear.
Speaker 13 (22:12):
Still a little slow from Sheridan getting into Broomfield, and
we had an accident I seventy westbound out near Kipling.
It looks like they're gone. I'm not seeing it laying
out there block right now.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
It's backing up.
Speaker 13 (22:22):
I seventy and I seventy six from Sheridan, So a
little bit of a delay there. Everything else is starting
to pick up the pace, and we are seeing some
delays up Mount Vernon Canyon right around Morrison. In fact,
it looks like construction started up and then coming down.

Colorado Education Association President Kevin Vick spoke earlier today on
Colorado's Morning News.
Speaker 8 (01:13):
Given the state's budget challenges, we're hearing all over again
that we were going to start this cycle of cuts again,
and so I think educators by this point are incredibly
frustrated and we're not standing for it any longer.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
Two to three thousand teachers are expected to protest. The
classroom closures will impact close to two hundred thousand students.
The Colorado Education Association's rally begins at eleven thirty this morning.

The rally comes as President Trump is getting ready to
eliminate the Department of Education.
Speaker 9 (01:45):
President Trump plans to sign an executive order directing Education
Secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps permitted by
law to dissolve the department she oversees. It follows sweeping
cuts to the agency last week, slashing nearly that the
DOE Workforce curriculum decisions are already handled at state and
local levels. Critics say abolishing the Education Department will hurt

after President Trump assured President Zelenski that a ceasefire was near.
Speaker 12 (04:15):
In a stunning development, Trump offered to take ownership of
Ukraine's electrical supply and nuclear power plants, saying America could
offer the best protection. It could include Europe's largest nuclear
plant at Zaparisha, which Russia currently occupies.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
At least initially.

Does it turn into a full scale reinvasion of Gaza.

We're not there yet, but the fact that you know
these troops are now back on the ground is a
significant escalation.

Not be free anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
We're talking about one of the country's largest four twenty festivals,
which you'll have to buy a ticket for this year.
Speaker 17 (06:19):
For the first time, you'll have to fork out at
least twenty bucks to get into the Cannabis Festival on
April twentieth. The price climbs even higher if you want
to get high in the vip lounge, with some tickets
going for as much as one hundred and eighty nine
bucks after fees. Of course, that includes a meet and
greet with the events headliner, Stoner comic Tommy Chong, Brenda Stewart,
(06:42):

Speaker 4 (06:43):
You know how many people are going to show up
and go, wait, ama a ticket this year?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Come on?
Speaker 14 (06:48):
I mean even when it was free, you had to reserve.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
A ticket and people would show up and go Wait.
You had to reserve a ticket this year, so now
you have to buy one. I think there's gonna be
fewer people doing that for sure.
Speaker 18 (06:59):
But they don't just standing outside the fencers.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
It doesn't matter. They will just be hanging out for sure.
The Newsguy sponsored by done Right Home Improvement, Business and
Money News with Pat Wizard coming up next. But first,
let's take a look at your drive in a ka
Wait traffic center. Here's Jonathan Steele.
Speaker 13 (07:15):
Yeah, I've tracked down two crashes, one on I seventy
westbound at Peoria. It's the right side of the highway
that's blocked at least one right lane. Anyway, it's a
little slow through there, it's not a real big jam. Course,
volume better than average, lighter than normal. Ahead of that,
it's a little slow back towards I twenty five, but
you definitely want to keep to the left.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Maybe add a couple of minutes.
Speaker 13 (07:34):
And the one on the turnpike at Wadsworth is on
the right shoulder, even though it's slow from Sheridan getting
up through Broomfield, but from there it opens up beautifully
all the way to Boulder. I got some traffic coming
into downtown. It looks like south around twentieth that's kind
of bunching two two five round Parker. Same situation there,
as well as two seventy three Vosquez as you head
west up through that stretch out of Commerce City. Jonathan

Catwit are joining us with more business and money news.
Speaker 14 (08:03):
It may be one and done for the latest Wall
Street rally.
Speaker 18 (08:06):
Well that's the way things were shaping up after the
opening bell. But you know what, things have kind of
turned around a bit right now. The Dow is up fifty,
that AAZAC is up sixty, the S and P is
up fifteen. Still topping or mashing yesterday seems tough without
another boostlight, the one from the Federal Reserve. It did
not lower interest rates, but also didn't seem all that
concerned about the impact of tariffs on inflation. Still, while
(08:28):
Fetcher Powell says the economy.
Speaker 19 (08:29):
Is strong, recent indications, however, point to a moderation in
consumer spending following the rapid growth seen over the second
half of twenty twenty four. Surveys of households and businesses
point to heightened uncertainty about the economic outlook.
Speaker 18 (08:43):
That is hinting it'll cut interest rates maybe twice this year.
Another factor that'll influence the Fed's actions this year is
the job market. We've got new numbers in on the
length of the nation's on employment lines.
Speaker 20 (08:54):
So Labor Department says two hundred and twenty three thousand
initial jobless claims were filed in the week leading up
to March fifteenth, two thousand more than the week before
and in line with what analysts were anticipating. The less
swallidle weekly moving average has remained fairly consistent since the
start of winter. In all, one point nine million out
of work Americans are receiving jobless benefit.

Speaker 7 (09:21):
Even Gardner said he was stepping down amid concerns from
the Trump administration. His resignation comes after Elon Musk suggested
earlier this month that Amtrak should become a privately owned company.
Amtrak later issued a statement pushing back against the idea,
claiming that passed efforts to privatize various Amtrak operations had
proven unsuccessful.

This update brought to you by the Dever Metro Chamber
(10:03):

KOA Moneyers.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
In KOA Sports March Madness underway today, including four games
at Ball Arena. Koa's Keenan Dixon is there will be
there today covering all those games for us.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Morning.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Keenan, good morning, Happy happy March.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
First to everybody who observes the March Madness.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yes, and now you've covered March Madness games in the past.
Describe how the atmosphere when you've got like team fans
from eight different teams all in one arena, how does.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
That compare to a to a regular season game.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
It's unbelievable because you really get the mix of all
those different fans coming in and you see which fan
bases truly travel really well to phillip An Arena. Last
year I was at in Omaha and just seeing the environment.
I mean, teams from all over the country, fans from
all over the country short notice, having to travel and
(11:02):
make their way to whatever city they were given, and
you know, they really pack it out. It's a fun time.
It's the best time to watch college basketball because it's
four games in one day.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
And so do you think BYU or Montana will have
the biggest contingent in Denver today.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Based on population. I'm gonna say BYU just because there's
more people from Utah in Utah, Montana is a much
smaller state, But I think Montana's gonna have a good
showing from what I've heard, from what I've seen so far,
there's been a lot of them that have made their
way here. Obviously a short trip for them, a kind
of a gift for a fourteen seed from Montana to
(11:42):
get a trip so close.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
And for those that don't know, Keenan is very much
a college basketball expert.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So I'm going to ask you to prognosticate for is Keenan.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Out of the four games today, which one do you
think has the biggest chance to be an upset?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
The biggest chance, I would say be VCU BYU. I
think that is gonna really be a big test for BYU.
VCU had a tough road through the Atlantic ten. You know,
they found a way going and beating George Mason, which
was presumably a tournament team if the SEC didn't get
(12:18):
fourteen teams in so that conference could have had two teams.
BYU is still a really good team. I think they'll
find a way to squeak that one out. But there's
three really good games today that I think could have
upsets Yale, Texas A and M the thirteen to four game,
and UC San Diego the tournament debutants against the Big
Ten champion in the five spot, Michigan, which was really
(12:38):
a surprising seeding for them. But there's some really good
matchups in Inwivid T Jones and Tyler mcguy for UC
San Diego combining for thirty seven points per game. They'll
have to find a way to stop a seven foot
one Vladislav Golden from Michigan and his eighteen points per game.
Yale has all the momentum in that matchup against Texas
A and M. They've won sixteen of their last seventeen.
They beat Princeton an IVY League title game, Princeton this
(13:01):
guy and Zavi and Lee who's probably an NBA player,
and they were able to stop him. Texas A and
M has kind of backed into the tournaments. We've lost
five of their last seven, but they've won two games
in the SEC tournament to help themselves get a four seed.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
It's going to be a great time koas Keenan Dixon,
thanks for joining us and have fun at the tournament
over this weekend.
Speaker 6 (13:21):
They can't wait.
Speaker 21 (13:23):
Colorado's Morning News AOA news time eight seventeen, two ice
detainees are on the run after escaping a detention facility
in a roar Up Countswoman Danielle Durinsky says a power
outage caused a door to unlock at the facility Tuesday nights,
allowing the susbecks to.

in Douglas County. I says it notified local authorities about
the escapees, but they declined to assist in the search.

The American astronauts who are stuck on the International Space
Station for nine months will be visiting the White House
once they've recovered. But Willmore and Sunny Williams return to
Earth on Tuesday. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said
President Trump took action as soon as he returned to
office to bring Wilmore and Williams back earlier then scheduled.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
And today the first day of Spring.
Speaker 22 (14:39):
The first day of spring represents the vernal equinox in
the northern Hemisphere. Fun fact, vernal translates to new and fresh,
and equinox is derived from Latin for equal and to night.
The vernal equinox is an astronomical event when the Sun
aligns with the Earth's equator. It's one of only two
times during the year that the equator is not tilted
toward or away from the Sun. The other one is
(15:01):
the autumnal equinox, which happens in the fall. Tanya Jay
Powers Fox News.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Well, bringing a Bengal tiger to the theater stage is
no easy task.
Speaker 14 (15:09):
We'll explain how The Life of a Pie does it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Coming up next first, so let's get a check on
traffic from the KOA Traffic Center.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Here's Jonathan Steele.
Speaker 13 (15:17):
Yeah, latest problem being reported, I seventy westbound and kippling
possible crash in there.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
It is tied up.
Speaker 13 (15:23):
That looks like too about Wadsworth, it'll start backing up
I seventy six there on that.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Merge as well. I'm not sure about the lane.
Speaker 13 (15:29):
But we'll try to check into that further I seventy westbound,
a pure you've got one sitting in the right lane
that is jamming traffic a little bit on I seventy,
but actually backing up the northbound two two five to
westbound I seventy flyover as you make that merge.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
Two seventy is still pretty busy.
Speaker 13 (15:43):
The accident on the turnpike right shoulder there near Wadsworth.
Getting into Broomfield still slow from Sheridan out of curiosity.
Coming through other than that two two five is a
little busy. And if you're heading into the hills right now,
we do have some jamming coming down Floyd Hill, in
particular down towards the Veteran Memorial Tunnels.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Gotta be construction related.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
Looks a little unusual that you don't start rock blasting
or scaling until after nine am.
Speaker 6 (16:07):
But further west, the mountain roads.
Speaker 13 (16:09):
Look great all the way up to the divide and
beyond that point to veil roads are fairly dry. Jonathan
Steel on KOA eight fifty Am and not for one fm.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
AOA news time is eight twenty is Colorado's morning news.
Chad Bauer in for Marty Today alongside Gina Gondek.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
The Life of Pie is playing.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Now at the Bule, described as a theatrical event, not
a musical, but not your run of the mill drama either.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Yeah, and joining us live in the KWA Commas beir
At Health Studio is koa's Kathy Walker. We both had
an opportunity to see the show on opening nights.
Speaker 14 (16:41):
Loved it, loved it, loved it very much.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
But you had an even cooler experience where you had
a chance to meet the people and the puppets behind
the show and it was super cool.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
Gina, let's start with the premise of the story. If
you don't know anything about the Life of Pie, John
Housh from the show explains it.
Speaker 23 (16:56):
Tragedy happens and there's a shipwreck and Pie finds some
so alone on a lifeboat with a hyena, a zebra,
an orangutang, and especially Richard Parker, who is a life
size Bengal Tiger.
Speaker 10 (17:12):
Yeah, that life size Bengal tiger is played by three
different puppeteers. Richard Parker is really kind of the star
of the show. Betsy Rosen is the puppet captain. She says,
the tiger is played by the head, the heart, and
the hind.
Speaker 24 (17:27):
The heart puppeteer is inside the puppet and manipulates the
front pause. They're not stapped in or anything sort of
the spine of the tiger lays across the spinn of
the puppeteer, and then we have the hind puppeteer who's
doing a great job of hiding that in a pubpet
right here, you can barely see them. So the hind
puppeteer manipulates the back, paws and the tail.
Speaker 10 (17:48):
I shot some video at the news conference that they
had at the theater yesterday, Gina, and what I thought
was pretty interesting is that all three of these puppeteers
really work together and make all the sounds.
Speaker 24 (18:00):
All three puppeteers make all of the sounds live.
Speaker 14 (18:03):
In the show.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
I don't think I was aware of that as we
watched the show, that the actors were doing that, because.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
They all sounded very similar to what you would expect
the Bengal Tiger to sound like I didn't realize there
were so many different voices involved.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
Agreed, and all eight puppeteers in the show rotate playing
all of the different characters.
Speaker 25 (18:23):
A lot of the show is choreographed for safety purposes
and for the fact that all of the team's mix. Now,
so this threesome will be in a show together, but
then tomorrow it'll be a different heart and a different
kind Anna will be.
Speaker 14 (18:37):
So think about that.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Telling this story without a script, and that really takes
a lot, a lot of practice.
Speaker 24 (18:45):
One minute of puppetry stage time is.
Speaker 25 (18:48):
Probably ten hours, twenty hours of rehearsal time, probably worn, honestly.
Speaker 10 (18:57):
But when you think about it, this story is pretty amazing,
and that it's not a musical, it's not a play
in a traditional sense. It won three Tony Awards, mostly
for the technical side of the show, but it also
won the Olivier Award for the Tiger. The puppeteers shared
the equivalent of a British Tony Award.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
I'm curious if the Hearts if you learned anything about
if they have to do some back exercises or something
like that to be on all fours throughout the entire show.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
It's insane, great question, and we all asked about that.
Every last person in this show is either kind of
like a yoga master. And when I talked to one
on one with Taha Mandelvolla, the actor who plays the
lead in it, he says he uses all of his
skills to play this role to.
Speaker 26 (19:45):
The point of this being a show where I get
to pull from different parts of my life. I'm also
a certified personal trainer, I'm a health coach, and I've
a certified Parkore instructor as well.
Speaker 10 (19:56):
So Taha really uses everything and it was interesting to
me too. He even said on some level, he's a puppet.
There are moments in the show where the puppeteers lift.
Speaker 14 (20:07):
Him up and manipulate his body.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
It's really wild and the Parkore part of that makes
sense now because you saw him jumping up and down
on stage all the time, and he had the hops
for it too, so that was pretty cool to see.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Now, is there any ventilation in this this thing? Is
it really super hot? Inside?
Speaker 10 (20:24):
It's open, It's a carved costume if you will, so
you really can see the actors, but you really just
stop paying attention to them. They're dressed in land colors
and outfits, and so you just really stop paying attention
to them at all. You realize there are people inside
of the tiger, inside of all the other animals and
(20:45):
zebra all that, but you just you just lose your perspective.
Speaker 14 (20:49):
You're watching the actual animal puppet.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Yeah, definitely go check out the video that Kathy posted
on our Instagram page at KWA Colorado because you have
to see it to completely understand what in the world.
It's not your typical puppet and it's not your typical
mascot either.
Speaker 14 (21:02):
It's a really cool operation that they have going on there.
Speaker 26 (21:05):
Yeah, and to sum it all up, it's a full
body and spirit exploration of these different elements of what
it means to be a human being. And so for myself,
it is a privilege getting to do.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
It night after night.
Speaker 14 (21:18):
Taha manvoila as a star of the show.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
Maybe maybe the tiger's the star of the show though
I know.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Right, it's really it really depends on how you want
to interpret it, because that is a that is a
really really cool thing to see. It's going on now
through March thirtieth at the Bule go check it out
Life a Pie.
Speaker 14 (21:33):
Thanks Cathy, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
The news is next right after we check in on
traffic from the Koa Traffic Center.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Here's Jonathan Steel.
Speaker 13 (21:43):
Yeah, we've got one crash just popping up out on
two two five northbound. It looks like it's going to
be approaching I seventy. I can't tell what lane is blocked. Uh,
never mind. It looks like the left lane is blocked there,
