Golden Transcript

Tubing season is underway in Golden this weekend, with hundreds of people beating today's heat on the city's section of Clear Creek.

We'll have more on this topic in the June 11 paper and on our website this weekend. In the interim, enjoy this photo gallery of today's tubing adventures:

Ralston Valley High School multisport star Zeke Andrews is the 56th recipient of the prestigious Steinmark Award, awarded by the Colorado High School Coaches Association. The award recognizes excellence in athletics, academics, leadership and community service.

Andrews was a star on the football field and basketball court for the Mustangs before graduating in May. The two-time first-team All-State quarterback headed to the University of Northern Colorado to play Division I football in the fall.

He spoke about how his work ethic in the classroom translates to his success in sports.

“The discipline that you learn from the classroom is just applicable to everything on the field and on the court,” Andrews said. “So that's kind of the biggest thing for me is that it's all just so similar. Just all the work that it takes to be successful in the classroom is, it's really the same as being successful on the football field and on the basketball court. All that, it's so connected.”

After nearly 15 months of work and roughly $10 million, City of Golden, Colorado - Municipal Government’s beloved Ulysses Park looks as good as new.

The city completed a major redevelopment project at the park earlier this year, and the two new multi-use fields on the south side hosted its inaugural practices and games this spring.

Golden is planning to host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the park later this summer or early fall.
