Voters in Denver’s suburbs face full ballots, will replace longtime elected leaders

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:18:44 GMT

Voters in more than a dozen cities surrounding Denver have plenty more to think about when they fill out their ballots than Proposition HH, the controversial statewide property tax relief measure.There are numerous local tax measures to consider in metro Denver ahead of the Nov. 7 election, including funding requests for police and fire services, sidewalks, open space acquisition and affordable housing. Suburban voters also will have new faces to choose from for local political office as long-time stalwarts exit the stage.Most communities have elections for city council seats, and some for mayor, on the ballot. Several will ask voters to decide local ballot measures.“They’re trying to address issues that are on the forefront of people’s minds — affordable housing, public safety,” said Kevin Bommer, executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, which has put out a local election preview. “There’s a lot of catchup on infrastructure that...

Reyna: A Dual Cultural Embrace in Music and Resilience

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:18:44 GMT

Reyna, the dynamic musical duo comprising Gab and Vic, hails from the juxtaposed worlds of Ciudad Juarez and El Paso, Texas. Their upbringing straddled these diverse cultural landscapes, providing them with a rich, dual cultural embrace. While Texas remained their long-time home, they now find themselves immersed in the heart of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.For Reyna, being an artist means baring their souls, delving into personal experiences, and transforming emotions into music. Their art is a courageous act of sharing narratives that connect with others, allowing them to resonate with the pain and joy that life often presents.Their inspiration emanates from the unfiltered human experience—raw, authentic, and honest. Heartbreak, love, friendships, and the world observed through the eyes of loved ones fuel their creativity. They’ve been crafting music since the tender age of eleven, beginning with childhood fantasies inspired by “School of Rock,” blossoming into a lifelon...

Apple Maps app is sending drivers dangerous wrong-way directions, how can it be fixed?: Roadshow

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:18:44 GMT

Q: There is a dangerous and incorrect instruction on the iPhone Maps app. I don’t know how to contact them. If one wishes to enter Highway 101 north from Bailey Avenue just south of San Jose, coming from the west, the app tells you to turn right AT the stop sign, just after crossing over the freeway.If one does exactly what it says, you would turn into the exit from northbound 101 going in the wrong direction. The on-ramp to 101 north is about 25 feet BEFORE the stop sign, not AT the stop sign.There is little lighting at night. If a driver is unfamiliar with the area and following app instructions explicitly, they would end up going south on the northbound side of the freeway.I read your column regularly and appreciate your common sense approach. Thanks for your great advice and counsel.Gela RussellA: I bring this to you, Roadshow readers, to advise how Gela can get these Apple map app instructions corrected. I searched Apple’s website and tried a few phone calls but each call...

49ers’ Bosa, Warner take responsibility for defense’s failings in Minnesota

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:18:44 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS – Nick Bosa, clad only in a white towel around his waist, made an important stop on his way to the 49ers’ showers after Monday night’s 22-17 defeat to the Vikings.Bosa stood next to Fred Warner’s locker and had a 5-minute, state-of-the-defense chat, while Warner sat glumly in his full uniform in front of his locker.Their words were hushed, their body language minimal, and yet their intention was obvious: Fix this defense before things snowball beyond a two-game skid.“I think me and him try to take as much of the brunt of failure, being who we are, the leaders that we try to be,” Bosa said at the media podium. “We were just kind of talking about that.”Bosa and Warner are the homegrown All-Pros who are supposed to lead the 49ers’ defense and franchise into Super Bowl contention. Bosa is to produce sacks as the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback, and Warner is to quarterback a unit beyond just hyping up their huddle.They both know this, and that is why they had ...

By Issy Ronald | CNNBobi, the world’s oldest dog ever, has died after reaching the almost inconceivable age of 31 years and 165 days, said Guinness World Records (GWR) on Monday.His death at an animal hospital on Friday was initially announced by veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker.She wrote on Facebook that “despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on earth would never be enough, for those who loved him.”There were many secrets to Bobi’s extraordinary old age, his owner Leonel Costa told GWR in February. He always roamed freely, without a leash or chain, lived in a “calm, peaceful” environment and ate human food soaked in water to remove seasonings, Costa said.Bobi lived to be 31 years and 165 days old.(Patricia de Melo Moreira/AFP/Getty Images) He spent his whole life in Conqueiros, a small Portuguese village about 150 kilometers (93 miles) north of the capital Lisbon, often wandering around with cats.Bobi was a purebred Rafeiro do Alentejo – a breed of livestock gua...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:18:44 GMT

Something unusual — perhaps even historic — happened this month in Placer County, in the foothills northeast of Sacramento.A man named Nathaniel Evan Cabacungan was sentenced to 15 years to life in state prison after pleading guilty to second degree murder in the death of Jewels Marie Wolf, a 15-year-old girl he had supplied with a fake Percocet pill containing a lethal dose of fentanyl.Cabacungan is the first person to be convicted of murder for a fentanyl death — a milestone that the victim’s family and law enforcement officials somberly marked in a post-sentencing news conference.“This is not an honor we wanted, nor one that Jewels’ family deserved,” Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire said. “I think for those of you that witnessed in court the impact statements of Jewels’ parents and loved ones, we truly saw the strength of the human spirit today.”Prosecutors said that after Cabacungan gave the girl the fentanyl-laced tablet, he left her alone dying in ...

Big Tech said return to the office or else. She had another solution

By Elisabeth Buchwald | CNNNew York — Big Tech has given workers an ultimatum: Come back to the office, or find a new job.Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and a host of other leaders of America’s biggest companies have made it clear that their success hinges upon everyone working in person.Autodesk isn’t giving in to the peer pressure. But when peer pressure comes from some of the most successful companies, it’s a big risk to swim against the tide, and it usually doesn’t end well.That didn’t deter Rebecca Pearce, chief people officer at Autodesk, from experimenting with a different approach.Under her leadership, in March, Autodesk, a multinational software company that makes tools for architects and designers, unveiled a hybrid-centric approach dubbed Flex Forward.

How Steph Curry used the offseason to rebuild Warriors’ chemistry and identity

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:18:44 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Steph Curry was in unfamiliar territory. He’d won four championships. He’d missed the playoffs entirely. But the Warriors’ West semifinal elimination last year marked the first time since 2014 that Curry had been kicked from the playoffs to his couch before the Finals.Those extra four weeks of silence made Curry even more aware of the ticking clock on this contention window he swung open in 2015. He’s 35 going on 36, and his fellow core players aren’t getting younger, either. Curry didn’t panic this offseason, but came away from his extra month off with urgency to get team chemistry back.“It’s an easy way to get motivated, because you’re not the last team standing,” Curry said. “We’ve had four opportunities to understand what it’s like to be the defending champs and try to run it back. But when you lose, it’s an easy motivator if you care about winning and investing in what it takes to get back.”At media day...
