Federal judges this week rejected a class-action lawsuit brought by an Aurora councilwoman against the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services after a social worker tried to frame her for child sexual abuse. Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky accused the department and ex-employee Robin Niceta of violating her Constitutional rights to due process and equal protection after Niceta called a child abuse hotline in 2022 to fraudulently claim that Jurinsky had molested her own son. Niceta was found guilty of felony attempting to influence a public servant and misdemeanor false reporting of child abuse last year.

But he’s starting to hate the game. “I think college football is in an odd situation,” the CU grad and longtime Buffs booster told me recently. “It’s a very odd, difficult state right now, with the NILs being the wild, wild West. It’s kind of like ‘farm club’ football.

Wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hand) and center Luke Wattenberg (ankle) were put on injured reserve. Neither is a major surprise, but both will test Denver’s depth. The Post reported Friday that Reynolds needed minor surgery on his finger after an injury late in Sunday’s win against Las Vegas. Reynolds hauled in a fourth-quarter touchdown from Bo Nix and then slid to the ground and hit the padded wall behind the corner of the end zone.

Dorshimer said converting most of the Comitis building on the outskirts of the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus into a family shelter is one way Mile High is playing to its strengths. The organization has been working to expand its offerings for children and families, opening its Family Preservation Center in north Aurora to serve young people living in poverty along East Colfax Avenue earlier this year. However, Aurora’s City Council has also rolled back its financial support of the organization, cutting grant funding and declining to backfill the difference last winter when the retail marijuana sales that were taxed to fund those grants declined. Dorshimer said the lost marijuana tax dollars largely went toward Comitis’ services for single adults, in addition to funding from Adams and Arapahoe counties, the State of Colorado and private foundations that will sustain the shelter’s new primary mission of aiding families. “There might be a void in one area, but the good part is we just filled in the other,” he said The new void will look like a worse scarcity of shelter beds for single adults that aren’t contingent on their participation in a specific program or services as temperatures fall. While Comitis will continue to operate up to 20 beds for single adults accessing substance abuse treatment or medical respite, Dorshimer said the shelter is referring current clients to locations outside of Aurora, since “there isn’t a shelter in Aurora.” At the moment, Comitis has about 75 unrestricted beds. City of Aurora spokesman Matt Brown said the city’s navigation campus is tentatively scheduled to open in late 2025.

Colorado cideries made a showing by winning three medals before beer took centerstage, and local breweries once again proved why people from across the country come to drink here.
More | Talk | Read It Later | ShareWASHINGTON — Barack Obama had frank words for Black men who may be considering sitting out the election. “Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that,” he said Thursday to Harris-Walz campaign volunteers and officials at a field office in Pittsburgh. America’s first Black president touched a nerve among Democrats worried about Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances of becoming the second. Harris is counting on Black turnout in battleground states such as Pennsylvania in her tight race with Republican Donald Trump, who has focused on energizing men of all races and tried to make inroads with Black men in particular. Obama’s comments belie that Black men still overwhelmingly back Harris.
