“The history of Denver’s northside”: Why La Raza Park will be the city’s next historic cultural district

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:52:32 GMT

La Raza Park isn’t very big as Denver parks go. Occupying one city block between Osage and Navajo streets, it’s easy enough for drivers on West 38th Avenue to zoom by without thinking about the pyramid-shaped kiosko structure at the center of its grassy lawns.But the little park has made an outsized imprint on Denver especially when it came to Chicano culture in the city. And now it is set to become a permanently protected part of history by being named the city’s third historic cultural district. It’s a designation that will qualify the park for state funding that could be used to preserve it and its legacy.The story of the park dates back to 1906 when the city bought it and opened one of the first playgrounds in Denver there, according to Denver landmark preservation staff research. It carries on through the 1930s and 40s when it was named Columbus Park in recognition of the Italian immigrants and their children who settled in north Denver and a public pool...

Is California rolling back public access to police misconduct records?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:52:32 GMT

In September 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic lawmakers touted a package of bills creating a system to decertify law enforcement officers for serious misconduct and increasing transparency of their personnel records — a move aimed at weeding cops with a history of troubling behavior out of law enforcement.It was hardly revolutionary: California had been one of only five states in the country without a system to revoke the badges of rogue cops.The new laws came amid shocking revelations of abuses of power at police departments around the state, including the Bay Area. The Antioch Police Department, where eight current and former cops are under investigation for civil rights crimes, made national headlines in April over racially and sexually biased banter among dozens of officers. Statewide, officials expect some 3,500 of California’s 90,000 cops could face decertification for misconduct.But civil rights advocates say a money-saving budget scheme by the Newsom administrati...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:52:32 GMT

By Ashley R. Williams | CNNPeople in Utah have been seeing snow on the ground tinged with a red and pinkish hue.It’s certainly pretty to look at, but what’s behind the natural phenomenon that’s nicknamed “watermelon snow”?Experts say it’s a normal occurrence that appears across mountainous locations all over the world.Though you might not suspect it from the snow’s colors, it is the result of green algae bloom that thrives in cold, snowy environments, according to Scott Hotaling, an assistant professor at Utah State University’s watershed sciences department.The species of algae causing the colorful Utah snow is called Chlamydomonas nivalis.Hotaling said though the snow in Utah has appeared red – the most common color of the phenomenon – there are types of algae living on ice and snow that can turn the usually white frozen precipitation into all kinds of colors, including purple, green and orange.“(The algae is) normally in this kind of dormant cyst form, and when there’s enough mel...
