Kirkwood sanitation worker swoops in to save woman

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:13:53 GMT

KIRKWOOD -- People often talk about how brave police officers and firemen are, so it's easy to forget about the hardworking civilian workers who keep a city running smoothly. Jerry Redmond, who has worked as a sanitation worker for the City of Kirkwood for many years, was recently thanked in a moving letter.Dearest Mr. Redmond,You, sir, are my hero! Really! Last month, you delivered a trash dumpster to my sister's house off of Fillmore Lane. After you turned to return to the lane, I turned to go back to the house, tripped on something and fell on my face. As I cried out in pain, you swooped in like an angel sent from God.You helped me up, saying that I needed to get to the emergency room. You helped me into the house and to the kitchen sink where you wet paper towels to wash my face. You helped me to the sofa to lay down and got me an ice pack for my bleeding and bruised face.You even made conversation with me so that I didn't pass out. (I clearly remember this,because you told me t...

LT Garett Bolles couldn’t protect Russell Wilson after 2022 injury and it made him angry: “I’m hungrier than ever”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:13:53 GMT

Left tackles are tasked with being protectors and Garett Bolles is just that when it comes to his quarterback.That’s what made 2022 so difficult for the Broncos veteran.As Russell Wilson was harassed by defensive opponents, sacked 55 times, hurt twice and struggled to find his footing with a new franchise and city, Bolles could only watch.As the public discourse pile-on stacked up on Wilson through each viral moment and his roughest season as a professional, Bolles couldn’t anchor down, get his hands in position and stop the oncoming rush.“It’s like a forest fire,” Bolles said of the torrent of criticism toward Wilson last year. “It starts in one corner and then the wind blows, it just blows all over and burns thousands and thousands of acres. That’s pretty much what happened.”Though criticism of Wilson’s on-field performance – and the Broncos’ historically poor offense – was warranted, certainly the discourse also featured plenty of hot air.Bolles said Thursday he was “angry”...

Opinion: Capitol protest was a feckless and bizarrely racialized attack on Coloradans’ rights

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:13:53 GMT

A group of more than 1,000 gathered at the Colorado Capitol to demand the governor ban motor vehicles and buy back the machines that killed nearly 43,000 people around the country last year.Maybe I got that wrong.They demanded Gov. Jared Polis ban fast food and buy back the French fries that killed nearly 280,000 obese people. Or was it the couches and large-screen televisions that caused them to not exercise?Actually, the activists wanted to ban syringes that killed 106,000 people from overdoses. Or was it the bottles of alcohol that killed 104,000 people? The tobacco plants that killed nearly half a million?Vehicles, food, furniture, and drugs were the culprits responsible for much of the top ten leading causes of death — disease and accidents — if you don’t believe in human agency, that is.And yet, which inanimate object did the activist group Here 4 the Kids target this week for criminalization? They want to ban all firearms and quash the right to self-protection enshrined...

Letters: Showing real love for the Denver Nuggets

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:13:53 GMT

Showing real love for the NuggetsEvery team that has hoisted the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy has earned it. First, a team must slog through an 82-game schedule, then win 16 more games in the NBA Playoffs while playing the league’s best teams, stocked with the best players.From 2000-2022, the overall number 1 seeds have only won seven championships. Proof that winning a title extracts blood, sweat, tears, and toil from the victor.Prior to the playoffs, many basketball observers believed the Phoenix Suns would advance to the NBA Finals.In 47 regular season games, Kevin Durant averaged 29.1 ppg, 6.7 rebounds, and 5.0 assists by shooting 56.0 % from the field, 40.4% on threes’, and 91.9 % on free throws. In the playoffs, Devin Booker scorched the Nuggets, averaging 30.8 ppg, 7.8 assists, and shooting a torrid 56.9 % from the field and 54.8% on threes. Nevertheless, the Nuggets won in six games, clinching the series in Phoenix, 125-100.The valiant efforts of Anthony Davis and LeBro...
