In his new book, "Family Reigns: The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty," Busch offers a firsthand account of the renowned beer family's history, from its inception to its remarkable growth. “Later on in life, I started realizing that I kind of grew up in a unique situation,” said Busch. “I started looking into who my great grandfather was, how he got started here, how my grandfather took the company through prohibition.” Busch's unique upbringing within the Anheuser-Busch empire provided him with a perspective few could comprehend. Amidst the bustling business world, his parents, busy building the brewery, were rarely around. “My parents were so busy working and building the brewery, my mom was right at my dad's side the whole time. She was mainly involved in entertaining wholesalers and celebrities and suppliers,” said Busch. ...

Colorado backtracks on full-time preschool for 11,000 kids with risk factors

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:02:12 GMT

Nikki Spasova expected her 4-year-old son to get free full-day classes through the state’s new universal preschool program since he’s still learning English.But just two weeks before Kristian was set to start preschool, Spasova learned that wasn’t the case. Instead, the state program will cover just 15 hours of preschool, the same hours offered to Colorado children who don’t face barriers to success in school.Colorado’s universal preschool plan called for children like Kristian to get up to 30 hours a week at no cost to their families, provided there was enough money. It turns out there isn’t.In the final weeks before school starts, that shortfall triggered a provision in state law that tightened eligibility requirements so that only children who are low-income and have a second risk factor will receive full-day classes.Instead of half of 4-year-olds being offered free full-time preschool, just 13% will.Some of the affected children are learning English, like Kristian. Many more are...

City crews Friday morning began the first homeless encampment sweep authorized by Denver Mayor Mike Johnston.The dozens of people living in tents and makeshift shelters along the 2200 block of Stout Street are being moved along without being offered housing options beyond the city’s existing homeless shelter system.Johnston, elected in June after campaigning on a promise of ending unsheltered homelessness in his first term in office, has said that his policy toward sweeps — a common action under previous Mayor Michael Hancock — is to avoid them until more stable housing like a hotel room, tiny home or Safe Outdoor Space tent can be secured for all the inhabitants of an encampment.He said he knows sweeps without housing are not a solution to homelessness  “because it means you’re chasing people off one block and then end up on another block.”Unsheltered homelessness rose by 8% in Denver in 2023 over 2022, according to a recently released point-in-t...
