GOLDEN, Colo. (KDVR) — New restrictions are in place on Clear Creek in Golden because of hazardous water levels.The city of Golden, with help from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, is now limiting water activities that include single-chambered air-inflated devices, like inner tubes, as well as swimming.Fire Marshal Scott Case said the creek’s water levels have gone up quickly over the last couple of weeks."We've had a good snow year compared to other years, so the amount of water in the creek this year is higher than it’s been the last couple of years," Case said. 3.9 earthquake hits Wyoming, just north of Colorado These temporary restrictions apply to Clear Creek in unincorporated Jefferson County and within Golden.Case said the water may be deceptive, but it’s powerful. “It doesn’t take a lot of water to sweep you off your feet and it’s a natural waterway, so it means there’s rocks, branches and even trees,” Case said. “Tubing sounds like you can be on top of the wate...School's out, raising concerns about summer violence

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 04:04:37 GMT
The Italian government accused the European Commission late Friday of intervening in a domestic political issue that has “no basis in reality,” signaling a major escalation of a row over how Rome is handling EU funding.The spat centers on Italy’s decision to strip the country’s court of auditors of oversight of its Covid recovery plan, which has been beset by delays, false-starts and disagreements with Brussels. The Commission said earlier in the day that it was monitoring the situation “very carefully.” In an eight-point statement, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s office said the Commission was “fueling an exploitative politicized controversy with no basis in reality.”It comes as a document seen by POLITICO said the soaring cost of raw materials and administrative delays have put Meloni’s government at risk of missing a string of targets needed to get its hands on EU money meant to fire up economies after the Covi...Orioles top Giants, 3-2, as Gunnar Henderson’s homer makes winner of Dean Kremer

Friday night’s game meant a lot to Brandon Hyde, and he believed the same was true for Dean Kremer, except the Orioles’ right-hander wasn’t as willing to express it.Both men are natives of Northern California, and Friday’s series opener at the San Francisco Giants’ Oracle Park represented a homecoming. In Hyde’s five seasons as a major league manager, it marked his first game in San Francisco; he and his dad, Barry, used to traverse south from Santa Rosa to watch Giants and 49ers games at Candlestick Park.For Kremer, Friday’s start marked his first in his home state as a major leaguer, with the Stockton native yet to pitch in any of California’s five big league venues. When Hyde broached the topic pregame, the 27-year-old “downplayed it,” Hyde said.“I think he was in game mode, had his game face on,” Hyde added.The approach proved worthwhile in Baltimore’s 3-2 victory, with Kremer supplying a quality start...Solomon: Rival to Airbnb, hotels has to go very big, or go home
