37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis on Wednesday, January 7. Good, who was originally from Colorado, was shot in her car in front of her wife during a traffic stop. A peaceful vigil took place in Carbondale on January 8 to honor Renee Nicole Good & all victims of ICE. Around 60 people came to Chacos Park at the corner of 4th & Main just after dark. They brought candles, flashlights, or phone lights that were placed in a circle in the park. The mood was somber and muted, and perhaps tinged with a new flush of anger. KDNK’s Chris Hassig was there, and brings us this audio postcard. -

For author Michael Bourne, a stint writing for a daily newspaper in Aspen served as a sort of boot camp. His new book, “We Bring You an Hour of Darkness,” harkens back to his days at the Aspen Daily News. It’s a mystery inspired in part by a real-life 1998 arson at the Vail ski resort, starring eco-terrorists, greedy developers and intrepid reporters. On a recent book tour through Colorado ski towns, Michael Bourne talked to KDNK’s Chris Hassig about the book.
