Adams County’s first shelter for displaced, homeless youth to open in Thornton

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:47 GMT

THORNTON — Colorado’s sixth-largest city will soon provide troubled youth a much-needed respite from the trials of the streets with a new 10-bed shelter for homeless and displaced teens — Adams County’s first.“When a child is on the streets, they are more likely to commit a crime or become a victim,” Brian Mason, district attorney for the 17th Judicial District, said Thursday. “It’s devastating to me to see a young person that if we had helped them in their time of need would never have gotten involved with the criminal justice system.”Mason spoke to reporters in the building on Lipan Street in Thornton that used to be home to Arapahoe House, a drug and alcohol abuse facility that closed six years ago. It was purchased by Community Reach Center, a behavioral health services organization, in 2018 for $3.6 million.Community Reach Center will manage the shelter, which is expected to open in the next few months and serve youth ages 1...

Denver hit an apartment landlord with its first $999 fine for operating an unlicensed residential rental property on Thursday.The multi-unit apartment complex at 3401 N Williams St. in the Cole neighborhood could face further repercussions: additional fines of $999 daily if it continues operating without a license. Denver Department of Excise and Licenses spokesperson Eric Escudero declined to comment on whether the city will opt to go that route.“We’re sad to see that we had to issue a fine like this,” Escudero said.Jonathan Schwartz, the San Francisco resident who received the fine, couldn’t be reached for comment.On the apartment’s listing online, the building is tied to Acute Property Management. This business is affiliated with Shell Company LLC, which operated under the name Acute Living and had its real estate company license suspended in 2019 by the Colorado Real Estate Commission.

Federal bill proposes investing $50M a year in outdoor recreation

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:47 GMT

In western Colorado, where much of the prosperity has come from below the surface in the forms of mining and oil and gas, businesswoman Sarah Shrader sees the land as an increasingly vital part of the area’s economic strength.Outdoor recreation on the region’s vast public lands has been key to diversifying rural communities’ economies, said Shrader, owner and co-founder of Bonsai Design in Grand Junction. The business designs and develops aerial adventure parks in Colorado and across the country.“We’ve had a history in this community, like other communities in the West and the South, of dependence on extraction,” Shrader said. “As we transition away from that dependency, what has brought people to communities like ours are the incredible natural assets that we have.”Mesa County, where Grand Junction is located, is roughly 75% public lands where people hunt, fish, ski, climb, go four-wheeling and raft the rivers, Shrader said.

Coach Party Loves Alvvays

Coach Party Loves Alvvays: Jess Eastwood of Isle-of-Wight band Coach Party told us about her Alvvays experience.Jess Eastwood: The best gig I ever saw was probably Alvvays at Paradiso Noord in Amsterdam, March 2017. Firstly, I would blame Alvvays as one of the main bands that inspired me to want to become a musician. I remember hearing their first album, which is self titled, in my car after finding their CD in a record shop on the Isle Of Wight. Their huge hit Archie Marry Me obviously completely re-wired my brain and I haven’t been the same since. Not to mention how incredible all their visuals and videos are as well.Fast forward a few years after hearing them, it’s the day of the gig in Amsterdam and I am more excited than I’ve ever been to watch a show! However, around 2 .p.m that day, whilst out and about, I remember being hit with the most EXCRUCIATING stomach pains. I managed to just make it back to the hotel and we called a doctor out; for context, I thought my appendix were...

Italy’s New CBD Celebrity — What We Know About CBDP

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:47 GMT

Although people have been cultivating hemp for centuries, there are countless chemicals in this plant that scientists have yet to uncover. Case and point: It wasn’t until 2019 that researchers knew about the cannabinoid CBDP. Technically called “cannabidiphorol,” CBDP was discovered accidentally in an Italian laboratory. Even more interesting, scientists also found the new cannabinoid THCP in this same trial.Obviously, since we’ve only known of CBDP’s existence for a few years, it’s impossible to say how it affects patients. Heck, scientists are still figuring out how better-known cannabinoids like CBD affect the endocannabinoid system. However, preliminary findings suggest that CBDP may have a bright future in the global hemp market.What Separates CBDP From CBD?The chemical structure of CBDP and CBD is nearly identical. In fact, if Italian researchers didn’t examine the side-chain of these cannabinoids, they may not have noticed any difference between them. Unlike CBD, CBDP has an ...

49ers’ Elijah Mitchell ‘ready to go for Week 1,’ feeds off Christian McCaffrey

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:47 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Elijah Mitchell has a special appreciation of what Christian McCaffrey brings to the 49ers, specifically in terms of third-down action.“His third-down skills are crazy, the way he catches the ball, runs routes,” Mitchell said Thursday, after the 49ers’ final practice before reporting back Monday to open Week 1 of the regular season.Guess which area Mitchell has focused this offseason on improving? That’s right, third down, where he might get used in relief of McCaffrey or else line up in the backfield while McCaffrey lines up as a slot receiver.“We feed off each other,” Mitchell said. “Both of us can catch the ball and run. It’s unbelievable. It’s awesome, it’s awesome.”Mitchell’s knee sprains last season kept him from forming a reliable 1-2 punch with McCaffrey. They only played six of the final 14 games together. But Mitchell averaged 4.7 yards per carry in them, the same mark from his 2021 rookie season, wh...

How wide is California’s wage gap? 2% of top earners are Latina; 38% White men, new data shows

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:00:47 GMT

Despite increasing efforts to close California’s wage gap, women continue to make up the majority of low-wage workers in the Golden State, according to new data from the California Civil Rights Department, and the glaring disparities don’t end there.Roughly half of all Latino, Black and Native American workers earned $32,329 or less in 2021 — $10,000 less than the state’s median per capita income. That’s compared to less than one-third of White workers and one-quarter of Asian workers statewide during the same year, with White workers holding the majority of executive jobs across the state despite comprising about a third of the overall workforce.“It’s unfortunately no surprise that the latest pay data reinforces what we already know: Women and communities of color continue to bear the burden of low-wage jobs,” said California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who has advocated for a number of equal pay initiatives across the state.The new data — wh...
