Letters: The transgender community needs our empathy, not hatred

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:30:14 GMT

Stepping up for transgender peopleI really don’t understand why transgender people have become such a controversy or target at this time in history. My first understanding of this came when I was right out of college in 1974 and read the book “Conundrum” by Jan (nee James) Morris. The biology around gender is complicated, and transgender people should not be a controversial issue. Anyone with a shred of empathy can realize this with just a little research. Like many other personal issues, it’s none of your business unless it involves someone close to you.Stanley Young, Fort CollinsRe: “How a campaign to restrict rights mobilized conservatives,” April 16 news storyAccording to The New York Times article, about “1.3 million adults and 300,000 children in the United States identify as transgender.” Unfortunately, this small minority has become the target of many laws by Republican-led state houses that want to “harness the emotion around gender polit...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:30:14 GMT

The Regal Continental is no more.The popular multiplex, located just south of Hampden Avenue and Interstate 25, has seemingly fallen victim to bankruptcy closures by its parent company, Regal Cinemas, which were announced in January as part of a company-wide restructuring.At the time, owner Cineworld said the closures would include two of the company’s Colorado-based theaters — Meadows Stadium 12 in Littleton and SouthGlenn Stadium 14 in Centennial — out of 39 total planned closures. While the SouthGlenn location continues to sell tickets to daily screenings, there are no showtimes for Littleton’s Meadows Stadium 12.And now, Regal Continental’s website has gone dark, with no new movie listings as of this week. A sign on its door says: “Thank you! It has been our pleasure to serve you at this theater. Regal Continental is now closed,” according to 9News.Representatives for Regal Cinemas and owner Cineworld did not immediately respond to reque...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:30:14 GMT

Small rent increases reappeared in the metro Denver apartment market after an unexpectedly large drop at the end of last year, but the gains are tracking below the pace of overall inflation, according to an update Tuesday from the Apartment Association of Metro Denver. “The story from our perspective is that things are really stabilizing,” said Mark Williams, executive vice president for the AAMD, during a news call to discuss the numbers. He added that metro Denver, after years of robust construction, now has more than 400,000 apartments in the market.The region’s vacancy rate, the share of apartments that are available to rent, stayed steady at 5.6% in the first quarter, matching the fourth quarter rate, according to AAMD’s 2023 First Quarter Vacancy & Rent Report for Metro Denver. The vacancy rate is higher in the newest building, and lowest in the 1970s-era buildings, which tend to have lower rents.Apartment rents averaged $1,846 in the first quarter,...

Metal-filled beanbag round fired by Aurora police officer lodged in man’s torso, lawsuit states

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:30:14 GMT

A truck driver is suing the Aurora Police Department after an officer shot him in the stomach from a few feet away with a metal-filled beanbag round that lodged inside his torso, causing him to lose his career and suffer permanent injuries.Shawn Meredith, 51, on Thursday sued the department and three of its officers in federal court, alleging they used excessive force during a 2021 arrest for an alleged assault and failed to obtain a warrant necessary to enter the hotel room where he was staying.The officer who shot him, Steven Gerdjikian, fired a beanbag round that is designed to be used on a subject from at least 20 feet away, according to a letter from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office clearing the officers of criminal wrongdoing. The beanbag round was from a different manufacturer than the rounds Aurora police generally train with, which do not have a minimum safe distance. The rounds travel up to 184 mph, according to the letter.“This case is yet another ...

Sweetness of the sourdough life: Getting into a baking ritual pays off

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:30:14 GMT

The thing I missed most when I gave up gluten was my sourdough ritual.Night before: Mix a sponge. Morning of baking: Mix the dough, set aside to walk the dog. After walkies: Knead the dough. Work out and shower while the dough rests. Lunchtime: Shape the dough and let it rise. Eat lunch. Take a nap. Afternoon: Fire up the oven and bake – just in time for warm bread slathered with butter at dinnertime.Gluten-free sourdough is very different, and yet, sort of the same. There’s no kneading, but you have to search out what seems like a lot of hard-to-find ingredients. Ultimately, however, you still take something you made from scratch out of the oven, tear it apart while it’s still warm (though you’re not supposed to – more on that later), slather it with butter and devour it.I’ve tried to keep a gluten-free sourdough starter alive before, and to make a weekly baking ritual part of my routine, and it’s never been a success — until now. I have to give the credit to another natural ...

Flexible? Cheap flight alerts might save you big money

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:30:14 GMT

There are some airfare prices that sound too good to be true. But you can find them, if you know where, and when to look."There are so many cheap flights available even at a time like this when airfares are at relative highs," said Scott Keyes, founder of the airfare deal site Going.com.He got hooked on finding low airfares a decade ago after nabbing an unbelievable fare to Italy for just $130 bucks."I felt like gosh, even if this trip is terrible, I paid almost nothing to be here, no big deal," explained Keyes.If you want to nab a fare like that, you have to act quick.Sites like Going constantly monitor airfares to find mistakes and unadvertised cheap fares."You’re not necessarily going to know about them because the airline isn’t running a big ad campaign," said Keyes.You can sign up to get free low-price alerts from a variety of websites, but unless you pay, the information might be delayed until after subscribers get first dibs.Going’s free plan sends international alerts only. ...

It got more serious when I sold my turntables a year or 2 later to buy a decent laptop and start producing. I was determined to make a living by making and playing my music and everything else that followed was in pursuit of this dream.”Now, he describes his sound as “Fast and trippy psy infused trance and techno.” Meanwhile, he feels generally happy about the current state of electronic music.“I used to feel v...
