This is the oldest town in Colorado

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:59:08 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Colorado's oldest town may surprise you. It is not any of the obvious choices -- such as Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo. In fact, it is somewhere entirely separate from the Front Range.While towns in the state may not be as old as some on the East Coast, Colorado still has a rich history of settlements and towns.What is the oldest town in the state?Depending on the definition of town you want to use, there are different answers.There are many native peoples that created and lived in permanent settlements in what is now known as Colorado for millennia before any western people made landfall on the continent.Places such as Mesa Verde, which was first settled around 1,400 years ago, by far predate the modern settling of the area by Europeans.

Nor’easter pounds Massachusetts, dumps 33 inches of snow in spots, child struck by tree

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:59:08 GMT

It may have been Old Man Winter’s last gasp on Tuesday, as a whopper of a nor’easter pummeled the region, dumping nearly 3 feet of heavy wet snow on spots and sparking power outages.The powerful snowstorm toppled power lines and trees in parts of Massachusetts, and a falling tree in New Hampshire struck a child — who got trapped under the tree before getting freed by first responders.The more north and west you live in the Bay State, the more snow you saw piling up. The snow accumulation jackpot for the storm was the Berkshires, where a mountainous 33 inches of snow was measured in Hawley and 32 inches of snow was recorded in Rowe.The northern Worcester Hills were also pounded — with Ashby shoveling 27 inches of snow and Princeton digging out from 26 inches of snow.“They got quite a bit of snow up there,” Kyle Pederson, meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Boston office, told the Herald on Tuesday.“It’s been a pretty i...

Chris Perkins: Dolphins show faith in Mike McDaniel by re-signing running backs Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:59:08 GMT

The Miami Dolphins are re-signing running backs Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr., and it’s an interesting move because it could be viewed as being as much about the head coach as the players.The Dolphins are showing faith that coach Mike McDaniel, given the same talent, won’t finish 31st — second-to-last in the league — in rushing attempts (390) again.The Dolphins are also showing faith that when the running game is working during a game, it won’t be abandoned.Most significantly, the Dolphins, who are in ‘win-now’ mode, are saying they can win with what they’ve got, or what they had, which isn’t how it seemed last season.It’s not a big surprise that the Dolphins plan to re-sign Mostert and Wilson. Money is a factor. If both max out their deals it’ll only cost the Dolphins $15.8 million over the next two years. Plus, you’ll recall McDaniel, Mostert and Wilson were all together in San Francisco before being reun...

Biden admin proposes strict limits on forever chemicals in nation’s water supply

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:59:08 GMT

Faced with congressional inaction on the matter, the president has instructed the EPA to issue limits on the amount of so-called forever chemicals which can be measured in the nation’s drinking water.“Today the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed the first-ever national standard to address PFAS contamination in drinking water. EPA will require public water systems to monitor for six PFAS chemicals, notify the public if the levels of these PFAS exceed the proposed regulatory standards, and take action to reduce the level of PFAS in the water supply,” the White House announced Tuesday.The Biden-Harris Administration, through the EPA, is proposing a drinking water limit for two common PFAS chemicals, otherwise known as per- and polyfluorinated substances, according to the White House.According to the proposed rules, levels of PFOA and PFOS — perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid — in water will need to measure under four parts per trillion.“EPA’s proposal ...

Jaylen Brown: Celtics’ defense ‘has to catch up’ as inconsistent play piles up

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:59:08 GMT

One sequence early in the second half of Monday’s loss to the Rockets was telling about the Celtics’ lack of focus and defensive intensity that’s plagued them lately.With the C’s trailing by eight, Marcus Smart fired up a corner 3-pointer that missed. But as the Rockets went the other way, the point guard was slow to get back. Smart, for some reason, was trailing behind Kenyon Martin Jr. when Kevin Porter Jr. hit his teammate with a bounce pass on the run. Martin Jr. had a clear lane in front of him, and Jayson Tatum and Derrick White were too late to help as the young Rockets forward soared for a powerful one-handed dunk.Joe Mazzulla saw enough, and called timeout as the Celtics fell behind by 10 against the doormat of the Western Conference.At this time last season, the Celtics’ defense was blooming as the best unit in the league and ultimately fueled them to an NBA Finals run. But they haven’t come close to replicating that success now. While the Celtics’ defense still ranks as t...

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson rebuts ESPN contract report with cryptic Twitter response

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:59:08 GMT

Lamar Jackson broke his silence on his contract negotiations with the Ravens on Tuesday. As is often the case when it comes to Baltimore’s quarterback, though, what he actually said was cryptic.The 2019 NFL Most Valuable Player seemed to dispute an ESPN report by NFL insider Adam Schefter that he turned down a $200 million guaranteed deal from the Ravens in September, tweeting an animated gif in response.Then Jackson, who is representing himself in contract negotiations, added another response: “133/3 years fully guaranteed but I need a agent?”For good measure, he added, “People throw [poop emoji] at the wall and hope it stick.”What’s not clear is whether the reported three-year, $133 million offer was its own deal or part of a larger offer from the Ravens. Later on Tuesday, Schefter responded to Jackson’s tweet, clarifying the parameters of the supposed deal.That deal, which was reported in September, included $133 million guaranteed at sig...
