Jesus House offers Thanksgiving Day meal

From Staff ReportsDozens of people lined up on a wet and cold Thursday afternoon for a warm Thanksgiving meal provided by a local charity. Mike Bateman, executive director of the Jesus House, said through donations from the public and private businesses the charity was able to serve more than 300 meals Thursday to those facing tough times in their lives. “That's one of the reasons why we did the (meal) later (in the day), because everybody seems to do the morning feeds at a lot of the shelters and so I felt it would be better served for families at night that were at work or something that needed to come in here and eat, and it means a lot,” Bateman said. Ericka Jackson, 47, and her daughter MacKenzie Jackson, 15, spent their Thanksgiving volunteering at the shelter, saying they felt a desire to serve those less fortunate. “We wanted to give back to our community as a family, and I believe that we're all called to serve,” Ericka Jackson said.Read more on NewsOK.com

  • Will DIA’s on-site brewery ever make beer again? The answer is up in the air.
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 04/24/2024 - 08:00 AM

    When Denver International Airport announced in 2015 that it was looking for a local company to build and operate a brewery inside the attached Westin hotel, it was big news. Not only would an onsite brewery highlight Colorado’s exploding craft beer scene, but it would also give DIA some cachet as one of the first and only airports to have a brewery physically located on its property. “It’s a chance to be unique and do something that someone else hasn’t done,” DIA’s then-senior vice president for concessions Neil Maxfield told Westword at the time, adding that the winning brewery would be required to make a signature IPA that would be served only at the airport. But that was one of the last times airport officials had anything frothy to say about the brewery, which has proven to be anything but a party.

  • Ask Amy: Parents worry about son’s unemployment

    Dear Amy: I’m a 45-year-old woman, married to my wife for five years. My issue is my 21-year-old son, who lives with us. He’s a good kid but he’s now unemployed (for four months) and spends his days playing video games. My son is very book smart, had a full ride to a prestigious university, but only stayed for a year and a half. He recently applied for the police academy, but he never really follows through with anything.
