Monument, Colorado’s town council just killed a $205-home housing project near the Air Force Academy — citing noise from military training and potential interference with future airfield operations.

Council members feared a flood of noise complaints from new residents, while the mayor declared any project threatening Academy readiness a “nonstarter.” For now, the dream of new homes on the north side is on hold — a stark reminder of the tension between growth and military necessity.

From football star to fighter pilot, Walker’s wild ride took him from rushing for 700 yards at the Air Force Academy to soaring over his old stomping grounds in an F-16 — right above his former team’s practice field. What started as a chance flight in a T-38 that changed his life led to global deployments and a viral flyover that thrilled fans and teammates alike. With his brother’s legacy in mind, Walker now sees his role as the greatest job in the world — and he’s using it to inspire the next generation of cadets and athletes.

Education ReEnvisioned BOCES is shutting down after losing its required district partners and facing new state regulations that make its continued operation illegal. The School District 49 Board voted to dissolve the organization, citing legal impossibility, while working with the state to wind down operations and protect assets. Families and staff mourn the loss of unique educational programs, but officials say there’s no other legal path forward.
