Denver didn’t see any snow in November. What does that mean for the rest of our winter?
Barely two weeks after Pueblo’s Donthe Lucas was arrested on robbery charges, the former Northeastern Junior College basketball star was served with an arrest warrant in the February 2013 disappearance of Kelsie Schelling, a Denver resident who vanished after heading south to tell her boyfriend, Lucas, that she was pregnant. The bust took place on the same day his mom, Sara Lucas, was taken into custody in regard to the aforementioned robbery, suggesting that authorities are trying to ratchet up the pressure on mother and son to reveal the whereabouts of Schelling’s body, which has not been found as of this writing.
Denver Broncos quarterback legend turned team executive John Elway received a plus-size amount of credit for the squad’s success during the Peyton Manning era, including two Super Bowl appearances and one victory. This goodwill largely protected him from criticism during the team’s slide the past two seasons. But no more. Twitter users absolutely roasted Elway during and after the Broncos’ completely humiliating 35-9 loss to the lowly Miami Dolphins on Sunday, December 3.
Collin Zak, a 23-year-old U.S. Armed Forces member from Ohio, appears to be the first person to die at a Colorado ski area during the 2017-2018 ski season. He suffered a fatal crash while snowboarding at Monarch, a resort in Chaffee County, on Saturday, December 2.

At 2:30 p.m. Saturday, December 2, teams representing Pomona and Eaglecrest will face off at Mile High Stadium in the Class 5A championship game. But even as excitement builds for the contest, plenty of observers are wondering about something more fundamental: How much longer will good parents let their kids play high school football? This question is being asked more frequently in an age when worries about potentially fatal consequences from repeated blows to the head are growing. Now, research by a University of Colorado Boulder professor shows that 25,000 fewer boys played high school football across the country last season than the year before, continuing a trend that shows no signs of slowing.
Since shortly after the 2012 passage of Amendment 64, which permitted limited recreational marijuana sales in Colorado, we’ve reported about alleged pot profiling. Over the years, multiple drivers have said they were pulled over for little or no reason while driving a car with Colorado license plates by state troopers in bordering states on the lookout for cannabis, with Kansas among the most frequently mentioned problem jurisdictions. Now, just over a year since a federal court ordered that pot profiling in Kansas end, a Denver-area resident tells us she’s recently been stopped three times in the state by law enforcers who apparently became interested in her the second she saw that her plate represented a legal-pot state.
Given the lack of impairment research, marijuana’s effects on drivers aren’t as documented as the effects of alcohol, but according to a new poll, Americans already know what to worry about: our addiction to cell phones.

United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions continues to make frightening remarks for state-legalized pot industries across the country, slipping in a few jabs about cannabis use during his most recent press conference.
Earlier this week, when we reported about a new round of layoffs at the Denver Post, we noted that we wouldn’t immediately know the identities of those leaving the paper because of the way union contracts work there, and in the days that followed, journalist Alex Scoville, age 23, learned firsthand about the volatility of the process. On Monday, November 27, she was told she’d be gone from the paper within weeks, but two days later, she found out her job was safe because other veteran employees had decided to leave voluntarily.
Colorado-bred South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are offering fans of the Comedy Central staple what Parker describes in a new video on view below as “eternal life” for as little as $10. Specifically, folks who donate at least a sawbuck to the charity NEXT for Autism will be entered into a contest to have a character based on them be drawn into the show as one of the townspeople that have appeared in the background of scenes for more than twenty years.
For some, legalizing retail pot in 2012 wasn’t the end of the fight.
Denver is the worst city for dating in 2017 because too many Mile High City men make little or no effort when it comes to what they’re doing, where they’re going or how they dress, speak or act during such outings. In general, these lazy slackers would just as soon hang out with their bros than treat a date like she’s special. And while this behavior exasperates plenty of women, most of these potential partners let them get away with it.
