ST. LOUIS – With the drop in temperatures expected this weekend and the feel of fall just around the corner, experts at the Missouri Botanical Garden are discussing how the weather will affect the fall foliage.The leaves have been slow to change colors this year, thanks to a persisting drought we have harbored since this summer.Daria McKelvey, supervisor for the Missouri Botanical Garden’s home gardening section, says the lack of soil moisture and rainfall has effected the speed at which leaves change colors“{In order} to get really good fall color, we need bright sunny days and cool nights, and of course, good soil moisture, and that will start to increase the coloration of some of our fall color species,” she said. “It does vary year-to-year when the plants start actually changing in terms of fall color, so right now, because it is so dry, we’re actually seeing a lot {of plants} change a little bit faster than they normally would.”The Midwest houses some of the best autumn colors ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:53:50 GMT

BROOMFIELD — Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport said Wednesday it will fully shift from the use of toxic leaded aviation gasoline to unleaded fuel at its facility within four years.If the Jefferson County airport meets its target, it will beat by three years a federal mandate that piston engine aircraft switch to unleaded-only fuel by 2030.The announcement comes as neighbors living around the general aviation airport have in recent years decried contamination from lead particles that descend from overhead propeller plane emissions — many of which are flight-school aircraft. They have also complained of continuing noise overhead from all the flights at the airport, though that’s a problem that changing to unleaded fuel won’t mitigate.Rocky Mountain saw nearly 300,000 takeoffs and landings last year, and even more are expected by the end of 2023.“The majority of flight schools can switch to the 94UL,” airport director Paul Anslow said Wednesday, as...

Benicio Del Toro Weathers Weary Cop Genre in Reptile

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:53:50 GMT

Make no mistake, you’ve already seen the new Netflix-y murder-mystery-procedural Reptile — but why not watch it again? That is, if you haven’t written it yourself in your dreams. Talk about a modern-ish genre that desperately needs a shake-up: You get the unhappy cop who’s just about had it, a bloody murder with a seemingly simple solution, unearthed hints that suggest there’s a bigger secret story involving the Rich and the Powerful, the disinterment of old newspaper clippings or legal documents, a few knockings on screen doors, the brawls and shootouts when the conspiracy becomes obvious, and the semi-sacrificial climactic confrontation.Along the way, lowlife red herrings are bandied about, the cop’s marriage is strained by the job or by suspicion, and the institutions that hold our society together are exposed as corrupt and malignant. It’s the core of every cop bestseller of the past three decades or more (Michael Connelly, Lee Child, David Baldacci times ten thousand) and many ...
