ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ill. - We are just learning new information about a police investigation that had a stretch of Interstate 70 shut down near the Stan Musial Veteran's Memorial Bridge overnight.This is just off the first exit after you come off the bridge eastbound into Illinois. The bridge is completely open both ways, with traffic moving smoothly. However, that was not the case for several hours overnight. Police had I-70 eastbound in the area closed for a while. In fact, we're told St. Louis City Police were blocking the eastbound entrance to the bridge from about 10: 30 p.m. Sunday to around 3:30 a.m. while the investigation unfolded.

Dalton Risner may be doing karate kicks in Minneapolis, but the Broncos still have a kung fu grip on his heart.“I wanted to win the game. But I’m not gonna be a sore loser and be like, ‘Man, I hate that they’re gonna win,'” Risner, pride of Wiggins and the former Broncos guard, told me after his boyhood team rallied for a 21-20 win over his new one, the Minnesota Vikings. “No, no.“Good for them, bro.”Revenge game? Nah. Like Von Miller, Risner keeps referring to the Broncos in the present tense, even if that “present” was ages ago. Old habits. First loves.“Dude,” the Vikes blocker and ex-Kansas State star continued, “I told all my teammates after the game, ‘Good for you guys. Keep doing your thing.’“We didn’t win a lot when I was here. And I hope and I wish them the best. We’re not gonna see them the rest of the year unless it’s in the Super Bowl. So best of luck to them,...Colorado weather: Scattered snow showers, rain and wind create hazards for travelers

Isn’t our population reaching a tipping point?Re: “Will Colo.’s population growth rebound?” Nov. 12 news storyThe article describes slowing population growth as a problem, buying into the common yet absurd belief that we can and should keep increasing indefinitely. Unfortunately, Colorado, just like the entire planet, has physical limits. We are already in massive ecological overshoot, as evidenced by the escalating climate crisis, biodiversity loss, pollution, and resource depletion. Colorado is one of the most water-stressed states — if our current demands are already unsustainable, and in light of worsening climate impacts, how can we expect an even larger population to thrive here?Instead of trying to maintain our Ponzi economies with ever more people, we should invest in those who are already here (in Colorado, in the US, and on the planet).

Character Sam K. Young, rushing to catch his plane, smacks into Elle Towe and splashes her gingerbread latte all over her white sweater.Of course the two end up being on the same flight, riding comfortably in a United Boeing 777-200.

Denver pet owners are largely unaware — or choose to ignore — the city’s longstanding requirement that they purchase an annual license for their companions, with a minority of dog and cat parents complying with city ordinance.Dogs and cats must be licensed once they’re at least six months old and within 30 days of residing in Denver, according to the city regulations. Because it’s a requirement, pet owners in violation can receive warnings and even fines, although that’s rare.More than 9,500 pet owners had obtained licenses in 2023 as of September, the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment said.That’s a slim proportion of the city’s four-legged population, which Denver Parks and Recreation estimates at more than 150,000 for dogs alone. That puts Denver below the typical compliance rate for pet licensing nationally, which Lt. Josh Rolfe with Denver Animal Protection says is around 15-20% of animals in counties or cities tha...No-strings cash provided to homeless people through pilot program has saved lives, participants say

Cash is freedom. That has been Denver Basic Income Project founder Mark Donovan’s refrain as he led a program that provided more than 800 homeless people in the Denver area with no-strings-attached cash payments every month for the last year.For recipients Dia Broncucia, 53, and Justin Searls, 45, those payments have been a manifestation of a different concept: hope.The money got them off the street, played a critical role in helping Broncucia recover from Stage 3 breast cancer and was a catalyst as the couple charts a new course for their lives after getting sober following years of drug use.“We probably wouldn’t have been able to survive. I’m dead serious. Something would have happened,” Searls said of what might have been had they not been enrolled in the program.The Denver Basic Income Project marked the anniversary of the first payments of its pilot program on Nov. 15. The program is funded through a mix of private, nonprofit and government money, ...Latest news
