The county will install automatic sunscreen dispensers throughout area parks.

"We want to remind people if you use the rail trails, if you’re just walking around or want to use the pool and you forget your sun lotion, we’ve got it taken care of.” Implementation will happen in two phases beginning with placing the dispensers at 20 parks across the county along with resources at local libraries and public spaces.

A better shrimp cocktail is closer than you think

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:11:28 GMT

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesThe best advice for making shrimp cocktail I ever learned came from the great chef and cookbook author James Beard.He was adamantly against it.Not the shrimp, of course, which he adored, but rather the “overpowering red menace known as cocktail sauce,” as he wrote in his classic cookbook, “The New James Beard.”“If you value their sweet and delicate flavor,” he said, pair your shrimp with lemon, mayonnaise or my personal favorite, a tangy rémoulade sauce.Beard’s classic French rémoulade calls for a homemade mayonnaise spiked with loads of capers, lemon juice and parsley. I added horseradish and hot sauce for a kick, and just enough ketchup to tint the sauce pale pink without letting it cloy. The result is as creamy as it is bracing, an excellent foil to the shrimp’s sweet salinity.Beard sorted out the sauce part for me, but to improve the shrimp I turned to another culinary great, Ina Garten.Related ArticlesRestaurants, Food and Drink | ...

Why a fight over ticket regulations didn’t end when Colorado lawmakers gave it the OK

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:11:28 GMT

A bill to regulate ticket sales in Colorado is awaiting Gov. Jared Polis’ signature, but the fight over public opinion still isn’t over.The bill was introduced early in the last legislative session, with sponsor Sen. Robert Rodriguez saying he just wanted to make going to shows and concerts easier. But what he hoped would be a cut-and-dried consumer protection bill unfolded into a prolonged turf war that, weeks after the final vote was taken, still lacks a clear outcome.If the bill, SB23-60, becomes law, it would ban bots from automatically buying up swaths of tickets and require sellers to disclose the total cost of the tickets — fees and all — upfront. It would also ban sellers from increasing a ticket price after it had already been selected for purchase and third parties from selling tickets they don’t actually have.But provisions on reselling, and transparency around total available tickets pitted primary and secondary sellers against each other &#...

For years, the existence of deputy gangs within the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has been a point of contention, with officials like former Sheriff Alex Villanueva publicly disputing that the secret organizations even exist.Last week, however, a deputy testifying in court revealed his involvement in one of those groups and even displayed the tell-tale tattoo that alleged members receive upon initiation.Deputy Jaime Juarez said during his time in the Compton station, he joined the Executioners and was inked with "a helmet-wearing skeleton gripping a rifle," the Los Angeles Times reports. Commission blasts former Los Angeles County Sheriff Villanueva on alleged deputy gangs Villanueva has long asserted the groups don't exist, going so far as to send the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors a cease-and-desist letter telling them to stop using the term "deputy gangs."However, the Civilian Oversight Commission found the groups do exist and that those who have spoken up ab...
