He amended his petition last month to include additional allegations of neglect.

Cherokee Trail boys track, fresh off state record in 1600 relay, eyes another Class 5A title this weekend at Jeffco Stadium

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:27 GMT

After Cherokee Trail’s 1600-meter relay team came within four-tenths of the school record in the Stutler Twilight on April 29, the quartet — Kaelan Kombo, Kahari Wilbon, Beck Gutjahr and Peyton Sommers — petitioned coach Chris Faust for one more shot at the mark in the Centennial League championships last weekend.It would be the final chance for that particular foursome to run it, seeing as Sommers, the Cougars’ star, will be placed on a different relay at the state meet.So Faust agreed to the request — and upped the ante.“I told them, ‘Forget the school record guys. If you run what you’re capable of, you can go get the state record,'” Faust said. “They were clearly gunning for it. But they might’ve even shocked themselves.”Cherokee Trail turned in a state record 3 minutes, 13.02 seconds, pushing the Cougars to the Centennial League championship. That blazing mark roasted the previous record — Rangeview’s time o...

Sisters of Mercy Return to LA

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:27 GMT

Sisters of Mercy Return to LA: After ten Sisters-less years, Los Angeles’ goth/darkwave/death disco fans can be forgiven for feeling a little starved. Frontman Andrew Eldritch may have mixed feeling about that, and those labels. As readers will rediscover from our Sisters of Mercy / Cruel World Fest cover story (out tomorrow), the man wants nothing to do with any such scene. He seems to hate the idea of “pasty-faced dweebs” waxing nostalgic to old Sisters tunes, and he certainly hates the term “goth.”And yet, let’s be honest, the crossover of fans attending this gig at the Hollywood Palladium and those going to Cruel World is pretty thick. Despite Eldritch’s protests, there were plenty of pasty faces on show on Monday night. The clothes were 99 percent black, and much of those were leather, latex and/or lace. The frontman can moan all he wants, but his adoring audience is what it is.That said, we wouldn’t want him any other way. The un...

SF Giants’ Taylor Rogers threw away his glove and hasn’t allowed a run since

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:48:27 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Taylor Rogers had a parting message Tuesday night after five minutes of answering reporters’ questions following his scoreless inning of work in the Giants’ 4-3 win over the Phillies, in which the bullpen took down 17 of the 27 outs.“It’s nice to talk you,” the left-handed reliever said. “When it’s not bad.”The last time Rogers met with a scrum of media, he had just tossed his glove in the trash. Unlike starting pitchers, who typically answer questions after each game, relievers too often only meet large groups of press when something’s gone wrong. And for the first two weeks of this season, lots had gone wrong for Rogers, a $33 million free-agent pick up, culminating in a disastrous four-run, four-walk outing in a loss to the Dodgers on April 12 that prompted Rogers to find the nearest trash receptacle, a black bin in the corner of the third-base dugout.That was the last anyone saw of that particular black Rawlin...
