It's been a long haul to this point.” Get all of the latest news, weather, sports, and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! The filing means no more cases can be filed against the church, including the hundreds of child sex abuses cases. Yet the church said the bankruptcy is an effort to be able to settle abuse claim settlements."We attempted to settle as many cases as we possibly could with the resources that we had. We settled upwards of 50 cases. But we've reached the limit of our resources.”In addition to child sex abuse cases, the state's lawsuit over St. Clare's pensioners will be on hold.

Independent air monitoring in Commerce City finds radioactive particles “that no one has had on their radar”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:32:14 GMT

A year-long air monitoring project in Commerce City found there are more harmful pollutants in the air than people realize, and advocates say federal and state environmental authorities are not doing enough to regulate those emissions and protect people’s health.Those pollutants include newly discovered radioactive particles detected in a monitoring station positioned downwind from the Suncor Energy refinery. Detlev Helmig, a scientist who runs Boulder AIR, which performs the monitoring, said the airborne radioactive particles need more study to determine their source and exactly how much is being released into the air.“Here in the middle of an area with 2 million people we have a source of radioactivity that no one has had on their radar,” Helmig said.Cultivando, a Commerce City nonprofit that focuses on health equity in the Latino community, held a news conference Tuesday to discuss the findings of its air monitoring study. Cultivando was chosen to monitor air qu...

Kiszla: Broncos have better shot at NFL playoffs with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson than with Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:32:14 GMT

How dumb must an NFL team be to do everything in its power to recreate the bromance between Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett, a bad idea that made the Broncos look like fools?Sean Payton was hired by Denver to be a coach with the gravitas to wrest away the control from quarterback Russell Wilson that Rodgers now wants with the New York Jets.What can I say? The J-E-T-S are D-U-M-B.Here’s hoping the hissy fit thrown by Rodgers, a Grade AA prima donna, results in his trade to New York, because the Jets are scheduled to make a visit for a game in our dusty old cowtown later this year.The Broncos and Jets are so desperate for a return to the NFL playoffs they are willing to sell their souls for a quarterback. After closing last season on a six-game losing streak, New York finished with a 7-10 record, while Denver was even worse at 5-12.But what combination would you rather have leading your offense?Rodgers and Hackett? Or Payton and Wilson?I say: Advantage, Broncos. Big time.For all t...
