The most-read Colorado news of 2023, from Casa Bonita to Bigfoot and Boebert

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:25:44 GMT

Coloradans have very specific tastes when it comes to local news.Centennial State readers voraciously read stories about encounters with wildlife and backcountry search and rescue efforts, and even months after Casa Bonita technically reopened under new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker (we say “technically” because you still need an invite to dine there), the Pink Palace remains one of our most-read-about topics.It’s also been a big year for Colorado sports. The Nuggets won the NBA championship in June, which set off wild celebrations throughout the city. Unfortunately, that included a mass shooting during post-game celebrations downtown, and a Denver police sergeant losing his leg after being run over by a fire truck during the victory parade. That very same sergeant later led the Legend High School football team out onto the field in a wheelchair before the Titans’ win over Parker rival Ponderosa.Deion Sanders dramatically raised the profile of CU Buffs fo...

Colorado labor market softening as year comes to a close

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:25:44 GMT

Colorado employers shed 700 jobs last month, a decline that would have been much worse without some decent government hiring, according to a monthly update from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.Private sector employers cut their payrolls by 2,100 positions last month on a seasonally adjusted basis, while government employers added 1,400 jobs. October’s numbers were also revised lower, taking the original estimate of 1,500 jobs down to no jobs.“I am not surprised by the decrease in employment during November, nor am I surprised by the downward revision of 1,500 jobs in October. The economy has been growing at a slower rate. More importantly, for Colorado, the private sector has been stagnant for the second half of the year,” said Broomfield economist Gary Horvath in an email.November’s monthly losses were heaviest in manufacturing, down by 1,600 positions, and in trade, transportation and utilities, down by 1,500 jobs.

Movie review: “The Boys in the Boat” sinks, but it should have been a winner

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:25:44 GMT

Be warned: “The Boys in the Boat” is no “Chariots of Fire.”Sorry, George.The film, which is being released on Christmas Day, had all of the elements for a memorable movie: a big-name director (George Clooney); a handsome young leading man (Callum Turner); and a story filled with loads of inherent drama, like the Great Depression, the Olympics, Nazis, and a sweet romance.Callum Turner stars as Joe Rantz in “The Boys in the Boat.” (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures Inc.)There is SO much there. It’s based on a 2013 non-fiction book of the same name and subtitled “Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics,” by Daniel James Brown. In it, the 1936 University of Washington junior varsity eight-oar crew team is an underdog that defeats big-name, well-funded schools for the right to represent its country in Germany on the brink of World War II.And you can guess how those games turned out.Seems like a can’t-...

“Colorado in the Civil War,” by John Steinle (Arcadia Publishing)Colorado in the Civil War.  By John Steinle.  Arcadia Publishing.For a small territory of just 30,000, Colorado contributed an outsized number of volunteers — some 5,000 men — during the Civil War.  And they made a significant difference in stopping the war from going west to the California gold and silver mines.  At the Battle of Glorieta Pass, Colorado volunteers, led by Maj. John Chivington, routed the Confederates and sent them back to Texas.  The engagement was known as “the Gettysburg of the West.”After distinguishing himself in that battle, Chivington, of course, went on to become the despised commanding officer at the Sand Creek Massacre. Colorado’s volunteers went on to fight the Rebels in Kansas and Missouri and confront Quantrill’s Raiders.The territory’s role in the War Between the States is summarized in “Colorado in the Civil War.”  Using early photographs, many of them rare, autho...
