Fantastical new “Bugs” exhibit designed by special effects masters from “Lord of the Rings,” “Avatar”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:56:53 GMT

A 5-foot-tall hornet tends to grab people’s attention.But it’s not just the horrific dimensions, or the fine detail, that cements one’s feet in front of this replica insect. This giant hornet happens to be getting murdered by a swarm of Japanese honeybees, which themselves are enlarged to the size of dogs to illustrate their ability to “cook” enemies with fast-beating wings when threatened.The tableau marks one of four jaw-droppingly beautiful sculptures inside “Bugs,” a visceral new exhibit that explores the sleek, creepy and surprising adaptations of insects, as well as arachnids, invertebrates and other critters. “Bugs,” which opens at Denver Museum of Nature & Science on March 10, is anchored by these massive sculptures but sprawls in every direction of its 13,000-square-foot space.Surrounding the sculpture-pods — which are dramatically wreathed in pulsating lights, and primed for kaleidoscopic selfies — are s...

That fascination with the work led him to spend 18 years in the service industry, where he appreciated developing relationships with customers. But then the pandemic happened, and it changed the dynamic between service workers and patrons. Restaurant and bar workers upheld mask mandates, sanitized with powerful chemicals and handled problems o...

Some of my best friends are dog owners.They love and cherish their pets and would have no problem bending over backward to take care of them. A sure sign of such devotion is that they pick up Fido’s poop.However, too many selfish people in Denver are of the opinion that their laissez-faire attitude doesn’t stink as much as their dog’s waste material.They are disrespecting our neighborhoods and not taking care of Lassie the way she deserves, in breach of an unspoken human/canine contract.Denver is one of the most dog-friendly cities on the planet.The latest estimate by Denver Parks and Recreation is that at the end of 2019, about 158,000 members of the pawed population lived among us.The Mile High City has more dogs than children, according to the US Census. The kid population is an estimated 140,000.Forbes ranks Colorado as the top state for most-devoted dog lovers.I was not a fan of dogs while growing up because my parents didn’t want us taking care of an animal.

Should Colorado launch its own universal health system? Legislators want to take a look

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:56:53 GMT

Supporters of universal health care got a shot in the arm last month when Democrats introduced a bill that would direct public health officials to study how such a system would work in Colorado.Two House Democrats introduced HB23-1209 in mid-February in the latest step in policymakers’ ongoing journey to expand health care access in Colorado. The bill would direct the state’s School of Public Health to analyze “model legislation” to implement a publicly funded but privately delivered health system here — meaning state-funded care provided by existing hospitals and providers. The study would examine the costs of a system under which copays and deductibles are prohibited while access and benefits are prioritized.Fort Collins Democrat Rep. Andy Boesenecker, who with Rep. Karen McCormick is sponsoring the measure, said he’s supportive of a single-payer system. He and other Democratic lawmakers said they wanted to see the results of a study here to inf...
