Cherry Creek goes for five-peat, Columbine believes it can play spoiler: Previewing Class 5A title bout between two storied Colorado coaches

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:25:17 GMT

FORT COLLINS — Saturday’s Class 5A championship at Canvas Stadium is the next chapter in a friendly but fierce rivalry between two Colorado football icons that goes back three decades.Dave Logan’s Cherry Creek Bruins take on Andy Lowry’s Columbine Rebels in the third title bout between the two head coaches with more than six decades of combined experience, and 16 combined championships.It’s a rivalry rooted in mutual respect for the men who got their starts at humble Jeffco programs in the early 1990s, Logan at Arvada West and Lowry at Lakewood. And it’s a rivalry that’s given both men perspective — to the football-obsessed Logan that there’s more to life than the game, and to the Columbine mainstay Lowry a blueprint to emulate as he’s built the Rebels into a perennial contender.“We’ve had some great battles over the years,” Logan noted. “When Columbine beat us in the 2006 state championship game (wh...

Broncos roundtable: Can Vance Joseph’s crew really keep this turnover bonanza up for six more games?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:25:17 GMT

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: Welcome back to the roundtable, dudes. Denver knocked off Cleveland, is now 6-5 and heads to Houston to face the Texans in a game that will substantially swing the playoff picture for both outfits. But the fun doesn’t end there for Sean Payton’s team regardless of the outcome. They’re on the road three straight weekends, with the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit to follow the Texans. That’s a lot of opposing logo stenciling on the Centura Health Training Facility fields for Denver’s paint guys. The question this week: Can the Broncos really keep this takeaway bonanza they’ve been on rolling? They have 15 in their past four games and at least three in each of those. Before that, they didn’t log more than two in a game and had seven in their first seven games.Nobody’s expecting 15 more over the next four games, but let’s do it this way: Over the past 10 seasons in the NFL, the average league l...

The enormous potential of advanced bio-fuels

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:25:17 GMT

The starting pistol has sounded in the race to meet EU and global energy-saving targets – and biofuels does not want to be left behind.Biofuels offer three big advantages - scalability, sustainability and cost - and EU and national legislators should seriously consider advanced biofuels as a peer, not as a poor cousin of wind and solar.First, biofuels are sustainable.Replacing fossil fuels with biofuels has the potential to generate a number of benefits. In contrast to fossil fuels, which are exhaustible resources, biofuels are produced from renewable feedstocks. Thus, their production and use could, in theory, be sustained indefinitely.Biofuels offer a sustainable solution that can be used as a direct replacement to fossil fuels and will help significantly cut emissions with the urgency that is required. Long term, biofuels are also better for the environment than wind and solar.European renewable ethanol and biodiesel are proven to significantly reduce greenhou...

Walters: California consumer price regulation often protects companies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:25:17 GMT

In the 19th century, California began experimenting with regulating the prices of vital services and commodities. Nearly 150 years later, Californians still don’t know if it’s working as we debate whether to expand the practice.Years of bitter conflict between Central Valley farmers and the monopolistic Southern Pacific Railroad over freight rates led to creation of a railroad commissioner’s office in 1878. It later became a commission and in 1945 morphed into the California Public Utilities Commission with broad authority to set rates for transportation services, electric power, natural gas and water supplied by privately owned utilities.The CPUC, whose members are appointed by the governor, has become a vast bureaucracy that oversees tens of billions of dollars in service charges affecting the budgets of virtually every California household and businesses large and small.The immensely complicated applications that utilities file for rate changes involve not only what customers mus...
