How CU Buffs football coach Deion Sanders is changing Boulder, one menu at a time: “The guy is unapologetically himself.”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:45:50 GMT

BOULDER — For five decades, the Village Coffee Shop has been the place where CU hangovers go to die.Time doesn’t just stop at the corner of Folsom and Grove. It slides into a tiny booth, kicks up its feet, sops up runny eggs with soft, moist triangles of toast and watches the world pass by.“We bleed black and gold over here,” explained Shanna Henkel, a Buffs alum who’s co-owned the diner, a Boulder staple since 1972, with husband, Ryan, for more than 25 years. “My children learned the CU fight song before they knew their ABCs.”Undergrads bring their kids, who bring their kids, who bring their kids — a link of breakfast sausages that binds generations. The menu is simple and ageless; that it so rarely changes is part of the charm.But if you want a perfect example of the little, yet meaningful, ways over the last seven months in which Deion Sanders, a venerated Black man from the South, is changing Boulder, a predominantly white, affluent westerncollege town, it’s there in one word at...

PARKER — Dale LeMonds looked at a two-acre patch of dirt on his property and envisioned a lifetime of memories.What he saw was a perfectly manicured baseball field carved out of a hill, with views of the Rocky Mountains to the west and downtown Denver to the north.The diamond would be “the best playing surface in Colorado behind Coors Field” — his own “Field of Dreams” on the Front Range, where he and his sons could foster their unbreakable bond with the game.What he built was LeMonds Field, which features the same sod, dirt and warning-track mix as the Rockies’ stadium, plus several other cherished baseball artifacts that make the diamond seem straight out of Universal Studios.“My favorite parts are mornings and nights on the field,” LeMonds said. “Coming out and hitting fungos to the boys, throwing batting practice to them and whoever else wants to come up and join.“They say the game never leaves you. It definitely doesn’...

Less of the ‘green crap’: UK politicians want to take edge off net-zero pain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:45:50 GMT

LONDON — British politicians think they know what the people want this weekend — less of the “green crap.”Senior Conservative and Labour politicians have been assuring voters they want to take the edge off a suite of bold policies designed to tackle climate change and pollution after the ailing Conservatives clinched a surprise victory in an outer-London by-election opposing an ultra-low emissions zone (ULEZ), a green tax levied on higher-polluting cars.Allies of Labour’s London Mayor Sadiq Khan, the architect of that expanded ULEZ scheme, made it clear he is in listening mode after last week’s election result. City Hall is expected to look at new ways to mitigate the financial impact of the policy. It comes after Labour Party leader Keir Starmer on Friday urged Khan to “reflect” on the impact of the extension of ULEZ into Uxbridge, the former seat of Boris Johnson where the election was held.Meanwhile, veteran Conservative Cabinet minister Mic...
