Local liquor stores hurting after bill allows wine to be sold in liquor stores

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:30 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Local liquor stores say their sales are down and they're feeling the impact of Proposition 125.The bill, which went into effect in early March, allowed for grocery stores to sell wine. And since, liquor stores have been feeling the effects, similar to when full-strength beer was first allowed in grocery stores in Colorado.Joy's Wine and Spirits owner Carolyn Joy believes voters only thought of convenience, but not how much it would impact the independently owned liquor and wine stores. The liquor store has been in her family since 1963 and she said they've never seen a hit like this. Grocery, convenience stores prepare to sell wine on March 1 "The majority of our business is wine and so the impact of this is greater than any other event since I’ve been here," she said. Similarly, Jason Frank owns Crafty’s Wine and Liquor in Aurora, which was targeted by two robberies recently, losing $7,000 in product. He said his wine sales are down 15-20% and, trending worse ea...

May 2023 rain setting new records, relieving drought in Denver

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:30 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Rain in May this year keeps coming, and now it is close to breaking into the top 10 wettest months ever recorded in Denver. As of May 27, 2023, Denver International Airport has picked up 5.49 inches of rainfall this month. This brings May 2023 to the 4th wettest in Denver's history. While there is still a daily chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, it does not look like Denver is on track to pick up the 0.63 inches of rainfall needed to tie the No. 3 spot of 6.12 inches of rainfall collected in May 1969. Denver would need to pick up another 3.51 inches of rainfall to tie the top spot for the wettest May on record. The 8.57 inches of rain in 1876 was not only Denver's wettest May ever but remains the wettest month ever recorded in Denver. Right now, May 2023 is the 11th wettest month on record. Here is a list of some of the wettest months ever recorded in Denver: 8.57 inches - 1876 (May)8.24 inches - 1900 (April)7.31 inches - 1957 (May)6.41...

You deserve to – and should – take time off from job

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:30 GMT

Q. This may sound weird, but I love my job. I actually don’t want to take any time off this summer. Home life is very chaotic and work is my home away from home — it’s safe, it’s my happy place and makes me feel good. Is it bad if I put in extra hours and don’t take time off? I mean, will my bosses look down on me or will it actually hurt my career?A. Thanks for your honesty and I’m sorry to hear home life is chaotic, but that’s wonderful that your job brings you so much joy and it sounds like you may also get support from your work family, too.As for your questions, I have a few thoughts. It’s up to you whether or not you take any or all of your PTO, but technically it’s paid time off. You deserve to unplug whatever that looks like — if it’s a staycation or if you travel somewhere or a combination of both.Regarding whether or not it can be a hindrance, this may sound counterintuitive, but it might. Your bosses may be...

NHL notes: Trade Jeremy Swayman? Only for the Wright stuff

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:30 GMT

We are on the record as believing the cap-crunched Bruins should keep both Linus Ullmark and restricted free agent Jeremy Swayman in almost any circumstance.Almost.As we wade into the too-long summer months for the B’s, there’s one idea that we find intriguing. Mind you, we’re just spit-balling here. But it would be interesting if the Seattle Kraken would entertain shipping their 2022 first-round draft pick, Shane Wright, out east for one of the two Bruin goalies. The guess here is the one that the Kraken would even consider trading Wright for would be the 24-year-old Swayman as opposed to Ullmark, who’ll turn 30 on July 31.It could be a franchise-changing deal with a strong possibility of being a win-win move.The Kraken signed Philipp Grubauer to a six-year deal with a $5.9 million cap hit before its inaugural season two summers ago. He had a nice little run in the Kraken’s playoff debut, but he’s been just OK otherwise. In 39 games this season, ...

Shepherd has arthritis, tummy troubles

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:30 GMT

Dear Dr. John,Our German Shepherd is 13 years old and was diagnosed last year as being anemic, found to have a mass on her spleen, had it removed, and luckily it was benign. Arthritis has set in, and our vet gave us Rimadyl which seems to work well but it is costly! I understand there is a generic version which costs less but is it equally effective? She has had intermittent diarrhea and an upset stomach with some regularity. Tests have shown no parasites. She does have a propensity to get into various things that she ingests outdoors such as feces from wildlife and even garbage. Can I give her Tums to settle her stomach? Most of the time, the diarrhea resolves. Sometimes there is also some vomiting. What do you suggest? I am almost too embarrassed to contact my vet about the same issue again and again. W.M.Dear W.M.,Let me start by saying that I am happy for you that the splenic mass proved to be benign since so many are malignant hemangiosarcomas that often lead to a very shortene...

Haas: Lawmakers fighting back against mortgage changes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:30 GMT

Changes to fees for loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac continue to be a hot topic as Republicans push to repeal them.The changes to the loan-level price adjustment matrix by officials at the Federal Housing Finance Agency went into effect May 1, and critics are opposed to the notion that homebuyers with good credit scores and substantial down payments will pay more so fees for borrowers limited by income or wealth can be reduced.Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, who introduced the Middle Class Borrower Protection Act, again attacked the policy. He refers to it as “a socialist redistribution of wealth.”While speaking before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday, Davidson said officials at the FHFA have an extraordinary level of authority in the housing landscape, including over the cost of mortgages. He said his legislation would bring independent oversight to the process of setting the government-sponsored enterprises’ upfront fees.“It would put in place a one-year...
