DELTA, Colo. – On the Western Slope of Colorado – like many other communities across the country – sits a county where coal mining has employed thousands of people for the past century. However, in the past decade, multiple mines have shut down. Mateusz Pena is an engineering manager with Delta-Montrose Electric Association – a rural not-for-profit cooperative. He says coal energy production isn’t cost competitive anymore. “A lot of times they have to take this coal and rail it out on trains and get it to wherever it’s going. Somehow that’s not as economical as it used to be,” said Pena. The loss of employment and training opportunities hit the community hard. Science teacher Ben Graves says coal mines were the primary trade pathway for students in the area for generations. “Coal’s advantage was that it was cheap. It might be a little dirty, but it was cheap. Now, coal’s not as cheap,” Graves said. When the mines shut down, many families packed their bags to find opportunity elsewhere, but others are embracing the change. “There’s definitely a national trend in wanting to engage students in more project-based learning that’s authentic," Graves said. "That’s not just ‘hey let’s do a project for the sake of learning a concept’, but ‘let’s actually address a problem in our community or school.'” As the coal industry continues to decline, renewable energy is rapidly growing. “It’s an emerging industry right now and it’s going to continue to be more and more prevalent,” Pena said. Students now have the chance to play a role in a different type of energy production; students at Delta High School are part of a Solar Energy Training Program led by Graves. In addition to teaching students about general renewable energy work, they’re learning how to install, design and maintain solar arrays through hands-on experience. And at the end of the class, they get a vocational certificate as a solar electric installer. “Everybody knows math and English, but this is a trade skill that we are one step further knowing than most people,” said Delta High School Senior Hannah Philman. Philman and her classmate Xavier Baty both have family that have worked in the coal mines. Even though his grandfather died from a lung disease caused by long-term exposure to coal dust, Xavier says he thought he wanted to continue his family’s coal-mining legacy. But then he was forced to try the solar program. “Even though I didn’t want to be in it, I love the fact that I’m still in it because it teaches me about things I would have never known about. I would have probably gone off to the mines and ended up like my grandpa,” Baty said. Now, Baty says he could see himself working in the renewable energy sector. Both he and Philman say they love the collaborative nature of the solar program and the hands-on work outside. Graves is now designing a program that other schools across the nation can use. As the renewable energy industry grows, the goal is to provide a workforce ready to support it.“As economies change, rather than being reactive, it’s more it’s being proactive. I think it’s something that a lot of people hope to do, and I’m hoping we’re being proactive in the right way,” Graves said.**********To learn more about the Solar Energy Training Program, you can find Ben Graves on social media @MrGravesScience  3352

CINCINNATI — The Scripps National Spelling Bee is suspending the 2020 national finals in National Harbor, Maryland. The Bee recognizes the important responsibility to take action that protects the health and well-being of its participants including the spellers, their families, the local sponsors, employees of The E.W. Scripps Company and others who support the event known as Bee Week. The executive order from Maryland Governor Larry Hogan prohibiting gatherings of more than 50 people until the termination of the state of emergency in Maryland as well as recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention underscore the decision to suspend the national finals.The suspension includes all in-person events and the live national broadcast the week of May 24. If possible, the Bee will work with local sponsors, spellers, convention partners and ESPN to reschedule the 93rd Scripps National Spelling Bee for later this year. The world is navigating through uncertainty, and while the timing of the national finals is just outside the eight-week window recommended by the CDC, this is the safest and most responsible action. This was a difficult decision that unfortunately will disappoint students who have spent a great deal of time studying and preparing, along with their parents and teachers who have supported them. The focus now shifts to exploring all options to possibly reimagine a competition for later this year.The Bee will keep local sponsors, spellers, parents and teachers informed in the coming days and weeks through direct emails, 1582

Ed Guzman was the very first person in his Mexican immigrant family to attend college.“Entered in fall of ’95, graduated in spring of ’99,” Guzman says. “I was a history major at Stanford.” Stanford University is among the list of schools William Rick Singer is accused of helping parents pay their way into in a large college admission scheme, which was uncovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.The news angered people everywhere, including Guzman, who says it wasn’t easy getting into Stanford.“I still remember my father, him asking for advances on his salary because it was, well ‘how do we pay for this?’” Guzman recalls.Financial aid, scholarships, and his parents scraping by paved the way toward Guzman’s success, which is why he was left shaking his head after hearing of the news of the “biggest college admissions scam in history.”“I just was astonished because there was such an element of like entitlement, when there are those of us who just work so hard just to even get a whiff of it,” Guzman says.The vice president of the National Association for College Admissions, Stefanie Niles, says this extreme case of bribery boils down to upholding ethics and integrity for all parties involved in the admissions process.“Certainly, there’s more to learn about what happened and what exactly went on, and I know this will continue to raise issues and discussion within the higher education community and beyond for certainly weeks, months if not years to come,” Niles says.Guzman hopes those involved are held accountable.“I guess the potential good thing that could come out of this is that people will look at the processes a lot more closely, because it appears that it can be easily manipulated,” Guzman says.Authorities say 50 people, including actresses Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, took part in the scheme that involved either cheating on standardized tests or bribing college coaches to accept students as college athletes. Many of the students accepted as athletes never even played that sport, according to charging documents.“I know that there’s probably frustration out there amongst families that individuals with wealth could get away with this,” Niles says.The alleged orchestrater of the scheme, William Rick Singer, pleaded guilty Tuesday to four charges. 2309
