(AP Photo)When Maj. Gen. Maurice Rose, who lived in Denver, was killed in a World War II battle in Germany 78 years ago, his death and service to his country were front page news. Over the years, Rose’s stature and story dimmed from the public consciousnesses, but a newly dedicated memorial sculpture casts Rose, and his accomplishments, in a new light.At the time of his death, on March 30, 1945, and in years that followed, Rose, who was raised the son of a rabbi, was the talk of Denver, as well as Jewish and military circles. His men loved him so dearly, they raised funds, along with local Jewish leaders, to build a hospital — The General Rose Memorial Hospital, now known as Rose Medical Center — to honor the general who made the ultimate sacrifi...

Parker native Ally Schlegel continues to refine goal-scoring habits in rookie season with Chicago Red Stars

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

It’s a shame Chicago Red Stars forward Ally Schlegel hasn’t been able to work on her fly-fishing casting technique the same way she has her goal-scoring habits.If she was near any high-quality trout streams, her off-days would be settled.A passion Schlegel picked up while taking classes in Penn State’s legendary fly-fishing program has provided a few life lessons that also tie into her day job: Rookie forward in the National Women’s Soccer League.During one of her more memorable times spent on the water, there was one frustrating day where she noticed she was gripping the pole too tightly, wasn’t focusing on her technique nor the time spent outdoors. The next outing she came to realize what would be her ‘aha’ moment.“Being process-oriented and being process-driven is so much better and the end game is so much sweeter when you get that,” Schlegel said in a phone interview with The Post. “The next time I went out I was just l...

Believing too little is being done to thwart auto-related crimes in Colorado, some towns take action

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

Just as Roman Gutierrez was shaking off the first punch — his 1999 Subaru Outback wagon had been stolen last fall from his Westminster home — he received a second blow right to the gut.“The ignition was all busted out,” Gutierrez said after police found his car a few days later not far away. “The mechanics at the shop said, ‘You’re missing something else underneath.'”Not only had his car been swiped, but so had its catalytic converter. The vehicle was totaled.“There’s only so much you can do besides taking the battery out of the car,” Gutierrez said, bemoaning the recent spike in auto thefts and catalytic converter thefts that has bled into just about every Colorado community.Vehicle thefts in Westminster alone have exploded from 859 in 2020 to 1,259 last year.But the misery around auto-related crimes goes further than just theft and this city of 115,000 is determined to do something. Last week, Westminster passed on ...

Ambulance crews can’t avoid violence but at Denver Health, they’re trying to change the culture of ignoring it

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

For as long as emergency medicine has existed, being physically assaulted has been part of the job.Talking about feelings that come after an assault, though? Not so much.That’s something that paramedics and others working in emergency medicine are trying to change, said Crystal Eastman, a paramedic instructor and “peer responder” at Denver Health. The sheer amount of violence discourages paramedics from reporting each time they’re assaulted, and the culture pushes them to act like it doesn’t affect them, she said.“Personally, I’ve been kicked in the chest, punched, spat on, had a knife pulled on me,” she said. “Our environment is uncontrolled, so we’re frequently out by ourselves, meeting people who are not having their best day.”Lt. Will Hargreaves, who oversees a team of about 15 paramedics at Denver Health and goes out on some calls, said on most days, an ambulance crew will have to restrain or sedate someone who&#...

'He's home': After 73 years, Medal of Honor recipient's remains return to Georgia

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

Soldiers of the 9th Infantry Regiment made a desperate retreat as North Korean troops closed in around them. A wounded, 18-year-old Army Pfc. Luther Herschel Story feared his injuries would slow down his company, so he stayed behind to cover their withdrawal.Story’s actions in the Korean War on Sept. 1, 1950, would ensure he was remembered. He was awarded the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military honor, which is now displayed alongside his portrait at the National Infantry Museum, an hour’s drive from his hometown of Americus, Georgia.But Story was never seen alive again, and his resting place long remained a mystery.“In my family, we always believed that he would never be found,” said Judy Wade, Story’s niece and closest surviving relative.That changed in April when the U.S. military revealed lab tests had matched DNA from Wade and her late mother to bones of an unidentified American soldier recovered from Korea in October 1950. The remains belonged to Story, a ca...

After years of searching, SF Giants’ Anthony DeSclafani thinks he found a curveball that works

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:46:49 GMT

MILWAUKEE — A week ago, the bullpen behind the left-center field fence at Target Field transformed into Anthony DeSclafani’s personal pitching lab. Approached beforehand by pitching coach Andrew Bailey and a few other staffers from the Giants’ pitching department, they believed they had an answer to something for which DeSclafani had been searching for years.The curveball. A bender. A potential putaway pitch to pair with his sinker-slider combination.“It’s always been a pitch that’s been a pain in the butt for me,” DeSclafani said.It was time to experiment.Cycling through four or five different grips throughout the session, one clicked toward the end. It felt so good, in fact, that DeSclafani was eager to show it off in his next start, two days later. And it so seamlessly melded with the rest of his repertoire that he went to the pitch 19 times against the Twins last Wednesday, more than he’s ever thrown the curve in three years with the Giants.“Y...
