"property Brothers" Stars Drew And Jonathan Scott: All In The Family

When William Raihl moved to Colorado from Indiana to work with the Salvation Army, he and his wife expected to purchase a home, put down roots and eventually retire. They understood a home in metro Denver would cost them more than the $186,000 spent buying a place outside Indianapolis in 2015 right before their move.

Water leaking from the growhouse ceiling. Algae spreading on the floor. Standing water pooling at workers’ feet. Those were just some of the conditions alleged by workers at the Denver marijuana grow operation of Green Dragon, a Florida- and Colorado-based cannabis company. Two years ago, workers had enough. So they organized, battling what they claimed to be the company’s intimidation tactics to form the first agricultural workers union under a 2021 state law designed to improve working conditions on Colorado’s farms. Now the workers have a contract with multiple built-in raises, paid vacation and a committee to address workplace safety issues. “It’s important for ag workers to have a union because they can be taken advantage of,” said Jimena Peterson, organizing director for United Food & Commercial Workers Local 7, which helped Green Dragon employees negotiate their deal.

Children living near small airports in Colorado had slightly higher levels of lead in their blood than the statewide average, according to a new study — though experts had diverging opinions on how significant that difference was. The study, by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, found levels to be within the range the federal government considers normal, and didn’t prove that living near an airport caused the increase in blood lead levels, though levels declined consistently as the distance from an airport increased, reaching the state average at about two miles out. The researchers also didn’t have enough blood samples to show whether lead levels were particularly high near any of the airports, though the data didn’t suggest any difference, said Dr.

BOULDER — Gerry DiNardo doesn’t know Deion Sanders from Adam Bledsoe. But he knows this: If ex-CU Buffs coach Bill McCartney had his mitts on the transfer portal four decades ago, he would’ve used that bad boy the way Rembrandt used a brush. “Bill was a master of trying to bring teams together,” DiNardo, the offensive coordinator of the Buffs’ national championship team in 1990 and an analyst with the Big Ten Network, told The Post recently.

From Babe Didrikson Zaharias to Jennifer Kupcho, cold-weather Colorado’s produced some elite women’s golfers. Now, the next household names might already be in the pipeline via four local high schoolers with professional potential. Erie junior Hadley Ashton may be at the top, but her skill is paralleled by a trio of reigning state champions.

The ghost of Kris Bryant haunts the Rockies. There have been only fleeting visions of the star player the franchise thought it signed back in 2022. Reoccurring injuries bedevil the four-time All-Star. Sub-par performance has become the norm. There are those within the organization who call him an enigma. Rockies fans, generally a benevolent bunch, even booed Bryant during the home opener at Coors Field. Now, with the Rockies floundering at the bottom of the NL West, he’s attempting to return from an early season injury that landed him on the injured list for the sixth time in his two-plus seasons in Colorado.
