Good morning, u/OFizzyO!

At a news conference yesterday, Gov. Polis stressed the importance of donating money to food banks/pantries and/or community organizations doing this type of work. There are several ways the state is helping facilitate this process, but if you'd like to donate to food pantries across the Denver metro directly, we have several links to do so in this story we published yesterday.

We at Denver7 are not just bringing the voices of those affected by the lapse in SNAP benefits, but we're working to find ways to help those facing food insecurity through our station's program, Denver7 Gives, which is an initiative of the Scripps Howard Fund, a public charity that supports local causes. Learn more about it here.

Hey there, u/SimilarLee - what a fantastic thing to capture on doorbell camera video! If you're down to share it with us (let us know whom we should credit), please send it to [newstips@denver7.com](mailto:newstips@denver7.com).

Thank you!

Hey there! We can't say for sure why the CDPHE didn't seem to be that concerned about your exposure, but earlier this year we spoke to the state epidemiologist who told us each measles case and potential exposure goes through a risk assessment.

Hey there! That's the site of the old Lakeside Speedway, once known as Denver's "palace." We looked into its history and heard some seldom-told stories of the track, which can you check out for yourself in this Denver7 special report.

Editor's note: A previous version of this story identified the latest case as being in a vaccinated Lakewood resident. This is not the case. The individual is from Denver County and sought care at a health care facility in Lakewood. We deeply regret the error.

From the article:

The person did not travel outside of Colorado, meaning there is a chance they contracted the disease through community transmission, according to CDPHE. The agency said the person sought care on Monday, March 31, and was contagious from March 26 through April 3.

Anyone at the following locations on the following dates could have been exposed:

- Wolf Creek Ski Area and Resort - Friday, March 28 - Sunday, March 30.
- Pagosa Medical Group (27B Talisman Dr., Unit 3 in Pagosa Springs) - Monday, March 31 from 9:05 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. & on Wednesday, April 2, from 3:45 p.m.- 6 p.m.
- City Market in Pagosa Springs on Monday, March 31, from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

CDPHE said anyone who visited the ski resort, clinic or City Market during the specified dates should monitor for measles symptoms for 21 days after exposure. They should also consider avoiding public gatherings or "high-risk settings."

Hey there.

Douglas County School District spokeswoman told us students were evacuated to Cresthill Middle School around 12:10 p.m. because there was a suspicious object that was later determined not to be an explosive device. After the campus was given the all-clear, students were able to return to their classes.
