Strasburg wins back-to-back football titles for second time in school history
LA JARA — The Strasburg Indians outlasted the host Centauri Falcons for a defensive-minded 10-7 double-overtime victory in the 1A state football championship game Nov. 25.
Strasburg had a 7-0 lead at halftime but Centauri scored the tying touchdown in the fourth quarter and regulation ended 7-7.
Both teams failed to score on their first overtime possession and Centauri turned the ball over on its second OT drive. Strasburg won the game on a 22-yard field goal by senior Carson Spence (see video).
The win is Strasburg’s fourth state championship in school history.

Veterans Day — Nov. 11, 2017
The I-70 Scout and Eastern Colorado News would like to thank our heroes in the Armed Forces for their sacrifices and service on this special day.
DID YOU KNOW??
Veterans Day is an official United States public holiday, observed annually on November 11, that honors military veterans; that is, persons who served in the United States Armed Forces. It coincides with other holidays, including Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, celebrated in other countries that mark the anniversary of the end of World War I; major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. The United States previously observed Armistice Day. The U.S. holiday was renamed Veterans Day in 1954.
Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day, a U.S. public holiday in May; Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service. It is also not to be confused with Armed Forces Day, a minor U.S. remembrance that also occurs in May, which specifically honors those currently serving in the U.S. military.VETERAN’S DAY EVENTS

Governor Hickenlooper Declares November “Hire a Veteran First” Month
DENVER – Governor Hickenlooper has declared November “Hire A Veteran First” Month. With Veterans Day falling every year on November 11, the month has long been a time to honor our veterans and ensure they are returning home to opportunity. The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) and its network of veteran employment specialists in Workforce Centers throughout Colorado will be hosting events to help connect veterans with employers and training resources to lead to good paying jobs.
CDLE’s veterans employment specialists provide assistance to veterans in finding employment, acquiring skills and planning for the future. Each year, these specialists – who are themselves veterans – offer a full spectrum of services. So far this year, almost 19,000 veterans have received services through their local Workforce Center.
This November, the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) is also helping make those connections with the redesigned Hire a Colorado Vet website. This website provides veterans with employment and training information and provides employers with information on the benefits of hiring those who have served.
At the site, veterans can also learn about hiring events and resource fairs in November including those below.
- Job Seeker Online Workshops for Northwest & Rural Resort Region: Sign up for these free weekly online job seeker workshops each Tuesday beginning at 2pm. You can attend in person at the Workforce Center or login from your home PC or personal device. These workshops provide individual career coaching, networking ideas & making a great first impression!
- Thursday, November 16: Fort Carson Mini-Job Fair: Don’t miss this hiring event at Fort Carson where Department of Defense Operation Warfighter and Education and Employment Initiative Regional Coordinator Craig Whiting will be available to discuss employment opportunities or other resources.
Employers interested in learning more about hiring veterans and what these job candidates can contribute to a business should contact their nearest Workforce Center or go to http://hireacoloradovet.gov/ for more information.

Murder Suspect Arrested after Car Chase
Homicide Suspect Arrested in Aurora after Fleeing in Car and on Foot
Jacqueline Lucero, the suspect in the murder of 30-year-old Adolph Arellano Monday, Oct. 30, 2017, has been taken into custody in Denver. Arellano was shot in a parking lot in the 300 block of E. Highline Circle in Centennial.
Early in the morning of November 6, 2017, members of the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Fugitive Task Force developed information about Lucero’s location near W. 72nd Avenue and S. Federal Boulevard. As law enforcement resources were being put in place, Lucero left the location in a car, eluding officers.
Shortly thereafter, Lucero was spotted driving in the area of Quebec Street and E. 56th Avenue. She led Denver Police Department officers in marked patrol cars on a pursuit throughout parts of Denver, unincorporated Arapahoe County, and Aurora until the car she was driving crashed in the area of E. Alameda Avenue and S. Potomac Street. She was taken into custody after a brief chase on foot.
Lucero is being held on the warrant for Murder in the First Degree, a class 1 felony. Additional charges related to the incident today are pending.
