Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up from the Colorado Sun. It’s Monday March 22nd, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories. 

 

In addition to the three COVID vaccines in use in the U.S. - labs are continuing their research for more. Today - what Colorado State University is finding, and what it means for the future.

 

Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day”:

 

Today we take you back to March 22nd, 1921 when Ruth Melville, the daughter of US senator Samuel Nicholson, smashed a bottle of mineral water from Springs in El Paso on the US navy’s newest battleship - the USS Colorado. The christening brought Colorado a bit closer to the sea.

 

 Now, our feature story. 

 

There are now three coronavirus vaccines approved for emergency use in the U.S. Many labs are forging ahead with their own vaccine efforts, including some here in Colorado. Reporter John Ingold spoke with Lucy Haggard about vaccine research at Colorado State University and what the future of vaccines might look like.

Thanks for listening. Finally, here are a few stories you should know about today:

 

Colorado’s coronavirus dial system will loosen on Wednesday. The state health department cited the growing number of people getting vaccinated. More than 2 million additional people became eligible Friday as the state moves into its next vaccination phase. But health officials are warning that the state’s cases have plateaued at a high level.

A proposed ballot initiative for Colorado’s 2022 election is already riling up ranchers. The citizen-led measure would categorize some actions that assist livestock reproduction as sex acts, including artificial insemination. It would also require that an animal live at least 25% of its natural lifespan before going to slaughter. Following a squabble with the industry over MeatOut Day, Governor Jared Polis said Friday that he opposes the ballot measure.

 

A new wave of ski patroller unionization is rolling through Colorado. Workers at Keystone are in the process of voting, and those at Breckenridge have filed requests to vote. Union organizers argue they need to be considered in financial decisions, but many workers still remain skeptical. Telluride, Aspen, Steamboat and Crested Butte are already unionized.
