“Starkweather” re-examines grisly 1950s murders by two teens | Book review

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:09:00 GMT

Even 65 years later, the name “Starkweather” brings chills.Charles “Charlie” Starkweather, 19, accompanied by his 14-year-old girlfriend, Caril Ann Fugate, murdered 10 people in six days in Nebraska and Wyoming. He was America’s first contemporary mass killer, a psychopath who thought of himself as an outlaw and dreamed of going down in a blaze of glory in a shootout with the cops. When he was captured instead, he said he wanted to be put to death in the electric chair with Caril on his lap.Dr. James Melvin Reinhardt, left, professor of criminology at University of Nebraska, watches as Charles Starkweather, right, arrives at the Lincoln courthouse for another day of his first degree murder trial in Lincoln, Neb., May 29, 1958. Dr. Reinhardt sought the reason for Starkweather’s crime spree in extensive interviews with him, his family, friends and associates and by first hand observation. Behind Starkweather is Sheriff Merle Karnopp. (AP Photo)The red-hai...

5 best Colorado ski resorts for amateur snowboarders, ranked by a transplant

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:09:00 GMT

I thought I knew how to snowboard until I moved to Colorado.Growing up in the suburbs of New Orleans, La., I had a leg up on my fellow Southerners, at least. Both of my parents skied in Washington State where I was born, with my dad proposing to my mom by surprising her with an engagement ring in her ski goggles on Christmas 1994.I took snowboarding lessons as a teenager on family trips to Alpental ski resort near Seattle and Park City, Utah. That was sufficient enough to proclaim my love of the sport because, even as my gear gathered dust in the attic, many of my peers hadn’t even stepped foot in fresh snow before.Then, at the age of 26, I found a sublet in the Mile High City after accepting a reporting job at The Denver Post, with ski season already on the brain. Before I said goodbye to Washington, D.C., friends on the East Coast raved about the ski resorts dotted throughout the Centennial State, and my mom shipped decade-old equipment up to my new home.But as I befriended ...

How can Deion Sanders, CU Buffs push for Big 12 title and College Football Playoff in 2024? More steak, less sizzle.

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:09:00 GMT

BOULDER — Do you believe now?Honestly? When it comes to Deion Sanders and his CU Buffs football program, that depends.Do you believe in Shedeur Sanders? Without a doubt. Do you believe in Travis Hunter? Twice on Sundays, where he’s gonna make a killing.Do you believe in the coaching staff? In the offensive line? In a defense that became a punch line on “Saturday Night Live?” Not so much.The glass is half … something. Compared to 1-11 and a national afterthought a year ago, the Buffs are clearly on a better path. But after a 3-0 start turned into 4-8, there’s still a long, long, long way to go.Which begs the question: Is there enough time on Coach Prime’s internal clock — always ticking — to get there, as soon as next fall?“What Deion has proven in Year 1 is that it’s possible,” former Buffs football coach and CBS Sports football analyst Rick Neuheisel told The Denver Post earlier this month. “It’s been a t...

California’s sober home rules headed to another courtroom showdown

Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.(Fred Schilling, Collection of the Supreme Court of the United States) Who’s really disabled? Who really deserves protection under anti-discrimination laws?Those are the questions Costa Mesa urged the the U.S. Supreme Court to ponder as the city battles on, defending its sober living home rules against lawsuits from irate operators. Wisdom on this from the Supremes could have crystalized squishy matters of law and, as the city sees it, saved people’s lives.But last week, the Supremes declined to take up those questions, sending the whole matter back to square one — to federal court for trial on the merits.It’s a bit of a bummer for the city, and somewhat encouraging for the operators, but by no means suggests the city won’t prevail...

California has no accredited Native American colleges. That could change.

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 11:09:00 GMT

It has been a generation since California had an accredited tribal college serving the state’s Native American residents. An Inland Empire college is trying to change that.“We have more than 1.4 million American Indians living in California,” said Celeste Townsend, president of California Indian Nations College. “And yet not one (accredited) tribal college.”Compare that to Oklahoma — the state has one-third the Native population of California but three tribal colleges.“There’s something wrong there,” Townsend said. “We’re going to be changing that.”Attendees of the Gathering Under the Stars event were greeted by several vendors selling Native American jewelry, clothing, and other items at the Gathering Under the Stars event at California Indian Nations College in Palm Desert on Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023.
