Scott Martin, with West Metro Fire Rescue. How much snow is coming tomorrow? Martin said that during red flag warnings like the metro area had on Monday, fire crews are extra prepared. Residents are asked to do the same. “When we have these high fire danger days, we up-staff or add brush trucks to our street rotations," Martin said. 'Explosive fires' can come in spring, late fallHe said it doesn't matter that cold weather is coming in. If there isn't moisture on the ground, there is still a risk. “The temperature plays a part in the whole diagram of a fire being able to burn, but it’s the smallest parts wind, fuel, topography, and those are the key components,” Martin said.The dry vegetation Colorado sees during colder months can be fuel for a fire.“The shou...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:11:18 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Time is running out for Denver voters to cast their ballots in the 2023 municipal election.  The latest data from the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Office shows about 20% of registered voters in Denver have turned in their ballots, still lagging behind compared to years past.Lucille Wenegieme, with the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s Office, said overall turnout is often driven by the topics and candidates on the ballot.   “Right now, we are seeing the turnout is lagging behind past municipal elections,” Wenegieme said. “We’re hoping we see a last-minute dump here.”  Denver-area homes still selling faster than nearly any other US metro area This year there are 17 candidates on the ballot vying for city mayor, although one candidate, Kwame Spearman, has dropped out. “One of the reasons that we think voters may have a little bit of apprehension here is due to decision fatigue,” Wenegieme said. “There’s lots of candidates in quite a few of the races.” Each election, voters ...

Disney’s “The Crossover” series is adapted from Kwame Alexander’s novel-in-verse about teenage brothers, basketball phenoms, told years later as a coming of age story.Top-billed Derek Luke (“The Purge,” “13 Reasons Why”) has a key role as the boys’ dad Chuck Bell, a former pro player.  Did this prompt a flood of memories of his own high school basketball days?“You know I’ve never been posed a question like that — I like that question because my mom did not allow me to play organized sports,” Luke, 48, revealed. “She was a single mom with three boys and my brother was playing football one day and one of my relatives who was older hit him and both of his hips were broken. So my mom had to take off of work for some time. Being a single mom that was a bump.  So recreation, yes. But organized sports?  Definitely not.”Luke, born and raised in Jersey City, knew from adolescence he would be an actor. “I was in the front room watching television and I came out and said, ‘Mo...

Dear Abby: She’s kept MIL’s secret for 20 years

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:11:18 GMT

Dear Abby: About 20 years ago, my mother-in-law confided something shocking to me. Some background: My husband has two sisters. One is a year older and looks just like him. They both resemble their dad. The younger one looks nothing like the other two or their dad.My MIL told me she and her husband stopped having sex after my husband was born. When I asked, “What about the younger sister?” she said she made a “mistake” with someone. We talked, and I suggested how important it was to tell the kids about this, but she never did. She always told people the younger one looked so different because she was so many years younger than the other two.Both of my in-laws have passed away now. Why did she tell me this? She was too much of a coward to tell her kids. Did she think I’d tell them? Knowing this really bothers me, but I still can’t bring myself to tell them. It would change their lives and crush them. Any advice would help so much. — Wish I Di...

Bringing Lolita home: How to release a long-captive orca?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:11:18 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — An ambitious plan announced last week to return Lolita, a killer whale held captive for more than a half-century, to her home waters in Washington’s Puget Sound thrilled those who have long advocated for her to be freed from her tank at the Miami Seaquarium.But it also called to mind the release of Keiko — the star of the movie “Free Willy” — more than two decades ago. Keiko’s return to his native Iceland vastly improved upon his life in a Mexico City tank, but he failed to adapt to the wild and died five years later. He is the only orca released after long-term captivity.Advocates say their experience with Keiko will inform how they plan for Lolita’s return. But they also stress the differences between their cases.While they hope to bring Lolita — also known as Tokitae, or Toki — to a whale sanctuary among the Pacific Northwest’s many islands, she might never again swim freely with her endangered family, including the nearly century-old whale believ...

Donald Trump to surrender to history-making criminal charges

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:11:18 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — An extraordinary moment in U.S. history is scheduled to unfold in a Manhattan courthouse Tuesday: Former President Donald Trump, who faces multiple election-related investigations, will surrender to face criminal charges stemming from 2016 hush money payments.The booking and arraignment are likely to be relatively brief — though hardly routine — as Trump is fingerprinted, learns the exact charges against him and pleads, as expected, not guilty.Trump, who was impeached twice by the U.S. House but was never convicted in the U.S. Senate, will become the first former president to face criminal charges. The nation’s 45th commander in chief will be escorted from Trump Tower to the courthouse by the Secret Service and may have his mug shot taken.New York police are braced for protests by Trump supporters, who share the former president’s belief that the New York grand jury indictment — and three additional pending investigations — are politically motivated and intende...
