ST. LOUIS -- There were some surprises during Tuesday night's St. Louis primary election. Voters decided which two candidates for the smaller Board of Aldermen would be on the April ballot. One race is too close to call, and several incumbents lost to political newcomers. Brandon Bosley's loss comes a shock to many. He is the Ward 3 Alderman and was running for the new 14th Ward.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:08 GMT

Gov. Jared Polis and Colorado lawmakers are pushing a baker’s-dozen of bills they say will help move the state toward a clean energy economy.The package of bills highlighted Wednesday, some of which have been introduced, includes tax incentives to promote decarbonization and electrification, geothermal energy, electric vehicle charging station requirements and streamlining permitting approval for solar energy projects.“There’s a lot of cost-saving measures, as well as improvements in life quality for everyday Coloradans that are really built into the fabric of these bills,” Polis said. They also include industrial policy updates, he added.Polis described the package as both setting the vision for Colorado’s energy future and giving the state tools to reach it. A proposal sponsored by state Sen. Chris Hansen, SB23-016, would set the state’s emission standards to net-zero by 2050. The state has additional goals of 100% renewable energy by 2040. Hans...

Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon: “I’m here to win a championship for Joker.”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:08 GMT

Within its special season, veering hard toward a No. 1 seed in the West and, potentially, the top overall seed in NBA, there’s an element of sacrifice that’s permeated Denver’s roster.Speaking at shootaround on Wednesday morning ahead of their matchup against Chicago, veteran Aaron Gordon described the selflessness that’s become a defining trait of the Nuggets.“I’m not here to win a championship for myself,” Gordon said. “I’m here to win a championship for Joker (Nikola Jokic). Joker’s here to win a championship for Jamal (Murray) and Michael Malone and Michael Porter. KCP, we’re looking to get him another one. I’m not doing this for myself. I’m doing it for the guys around me.”Though Gordon was the only player who spoke to the media Wednesday morning, that ethos has been apparent around the team for weeks. Beginning with Jokic, the two-time reigning MVP, no one seems to care who gets the credit, least of all the face of the franchise.It’s why Gordon’s been such a seamless fit with ...

What Nico Sturm said the Sharks can learn from the Colorado Avalanche

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:08 GMT

Nico Sturm opened the small wooden box that held the Stanley Cup ring that he earned last season as a member of the Colorado Avalanche. Inside was not only the 14-karat white gold ring, set with diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, but a short video that showed the team’s on-ice celebration right after their Game 6 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.Sturm received the ring Tuesday night after the Sharks were walloped 6-0 by the Avalanche, a completely one-sided affair that showed the obvious disparity between the two franchises. One appears ready to chase another Cup, the other has one of the worst records in the NHL as it tries to lay a foundation for its own success years down the line.“Obviously, it takes a while to build an organization and a roster to where everybody, every piece fits exactly where it needs to be,” Sturm said. “I think that’s what we’re trying to do, is trying to get guys and players that play a certain part, and that doesn’t happen from today u...

SF Giants’ Camilo Doval on representing the Dominican Republic in WBC, his role model, his horses and Johnny Cueto’s mentorship

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:06:08 GMT

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — It’s the day before he is set to depart for the World Baseball Classic, and Camilo Doval is popping pink bubbles in front of his locker. His first spring outing produced radar-gun readings in the mid-90s, prompting inquiries that manager Gabe Kapler brushed off earlier in the morning, and Doval quelled any concerns with his final tune up before jetting off to Miami. He popped 101 once, and a couple more times at triple digits.It was nice to be back in the ninth inning, even in a spring exhibition, Doval agreed, before blowing another bubble. (Although the 101 mph pitch was still shy of the franchise-record-setting 104 mph he hit last September.)Still only 25 years old, Doval has come to embrace the ninth inning and the pressure-packed situations that accompany it. In 2021, he became the youngest Giant in history to save a game in the postseason by recording the final three outs of Game 3 of the NLDS, and he followed that in 2022 with 27 saves (with a 2.53 E...
