New CU Boulder administrator works to draw more Native students to university

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:05:29 GMT

Benny Shendo Jr. didn’t know he was supposed to fail.The odds were stacked against him — the result of generations of systemic barriers facing Native Americans after the U.S. government stole or forced the sale of their lands, banned their languages and religious practices, and attempted to strip their identities from them. The friends around him in Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico weren’t succeeding. They weren’t graduating from college, and in many cases even enrolling, in large part because they didn’t feel welcomed.“I just kept going and doing what I needed to do it and made it — despite all the obstacles and things that I could have easily walked away from,” Shendo, 59, recalls.That determination is what drives him now as he focuses on future generations of students. In October, he began working at the University of Colorado Boulder, returning to his alma mater as its first-ever associate vice chancellor for Native American Affairs. In ...

10 must-see holiday light displays in metro Denver

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:05:29 GMT

It’s suddenly tree-lighting, house-decorating, parade-having time of year, and the metro area has no shortage of ways to celebrate the holidays.Walk-through lighting displays are, of course, one of the lowest-effort activities with the highest return on wonder and kid friendliness — provided you don’t mind the prices. They’re not up too much this year from last — just $2 on average, according to a Denver Post survey — although many nonprofits and commercial installations are still trying to make up for vastly lower attendance the last couple years, so it’s understandable.Most events are, as you’ll quickly notice, limited in hours, timed and ticketed, and optional in their masking policies. Some do not offer on-site ticket sales, and the biggest ones are likely to sell out in the coming weeks (some, such as Blossoms of Light and Zoo Lights, are being snatched up predictably fast).Check each event’s website before attending, and br...

Denver’s renovation of largest city office building aims to keep workers downtown — with some new costs

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:05:29 GMT

The Wellington E. Webb Municipal Office Building is the workhorse of Denver’s real estate portfolio, providing space for 2,100 employees across departments from the Clerk and Recorder’s Office to city planning to parks and recreation.Now, more than 20 years after it was built at 201 W. Colfax Ave., work is underway on a $133.5 million overhaul. The renovation will touch all 12 floors of the gray, oval-shaped office tower north of Civic Center park over the next two years.And even while it’s under construction, the Webb building is playing a part in Mayor Mike Johnston’s economic plans for downtown Denver. Displaced employees won’t be working from home — while their typical office spaces are being painted, carpeted and furnished with new equipment and gear, they will simply shift a block or two away.Thanks to some carefully planned phasing and a $4.9 million lease for space in nearby Republic Plaza, city workers will remain on hybrid work schedules...

Denver’s first permanent food truck park rolls out on West Colfax

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:05:29 GMT

Danny Newman doesn’t like to let a good thing go to waste. When the local entrepreneur purchased a large lot with a former tire shop five years ago, he had plans to open Denver’s tiniest motel with one room and a swimming pool.But when the pandemic hit, construction prices nearly doubled, so he decided to scrap the idea for what he called Colfax Country Club altogether. Newman couldn’t watch the 0.22-acre lot sit empty, though. “It was too much of an ordeal for a fun, silly motel concept,” he said. “But it was more financially frustrating to have it just sitting there.”Inspired by food truck parks in Austin and Portland, Newman decided instead to create Full Tank Food Park at 4200 W. Colfax Ave. this month. “The only thing that worked in that space while we figured out what to do with it was food trucks,” he said.There is enough room for seven food trucks to rent a space in the lot. Newman hopes to have three permanent vendors and four rotating ones at all times. “We want to make su...

Why New Zealand greenstone is the perfect holiday gift

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. Each week, we will offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems).Travelers flock to New Zealand to experience its lush mountainscapes, jaw-droppingly blue waters and world-renowned wines. Even if the Instagrammable landscapes are the impetus for a trip, those who visit receive complimentary schooling on the country’s native Māori culture, which shows up prominently in language and local traditions notwithstanding the history of colonialism there.As far back as the late 1300s, Polynesian settlers inhabited the islands that comprise New Zealand and formed that distinct Māori culture. When British colonialists arrived in the 1800s, they signed an agreement with the Indigenous people known as the Treaty of Waitangi setting the stage for the Māori to maintain sovereignty over their lands and villages.B...

What's the Merriam-Webster word of the year for 2023?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:05:29 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — In an age of deepfakes and post-truth, as artificial intelligence rose and Elon Musk turned Twitter into X, the Merriam-Webster word of the year for 2023 is “authentic.”Authentic cuisine. Authentic voice. Authentic self. Authenticity as artifice. Lookups for the word are routinely heavy on the dictionary company's site but were boosted to new heights throughout the year, editor at large Peter Sokolowski told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview.“We see in 2023 a kind of crisis of authenticity,” he said ahead of Monday's announcement of this year's word. “What we realize is that when we question authenticity, we value it even more.”Sokolowski and his team don't delve into the reasons people head for dictionaries and websites in search of specific words. Rather, they chase the data on lookup spikes and world events that correlate. This time around, there was no particularly huge boost at any given time but a constancy to the increased inte...
