Students on edge after 16-year-old stabbed at Denver high school

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:11:56 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Students are on edge after police said a 16-year-old student was stabbed at George Washington High School Friday afternoon. Instead of worrying about ‘if’ -- students told FOX31 they now fear about ‘when’ violence will strike.  Student stabbed at George Washington High School “The fact that I am saying ‘next time’ and knowing there’s going to be another event means that they know that, the staff also knows that. We all need to be taking more preventative measures to stop things like this happening,” Keira Miller, a senior at George Washington High School said. The repeated exposure to trauma is something Clinical Psychologist Dr. Sheryl Ziegler said enlarges the amygdala, or what she calls the ‘fear center’ of the brain. "You are more hyper-vigilant, you’re kind of more scanning rooms and places and on the lookout for danger. Being more startled, being more on edge starts to become their makeup," Dr. Ziegler said. Several violent events at Colo...

Protesters in Southwest Miami-Dade came together to raise their voices against a controversial project that could impact the environment.Dozens of demonstrators gathered Saturday at Zoo Miami to say no to Miami Wilds, a new water park development.Developers gained approval in 2020 and planned to build in the parking area outside of the zoo, but conservation groups have expressed concern over the adjoining Pine Rocklands Forest, which is home to a population of endangered bats.Protesters said they want to protect these animals at all costs.“This is the most critically endangered habitat in all of Florida. There are more than 110 in-peril species that live here, and this is an area that needs to be protected for future generations,” said Ron Magill with Zoo Miami. “If we lose this, all the money in the world isn’t gonna bring it back, so to build a water park here really is criminal.”Officials with Miami Wilds have promised the project will bring hundreds...

Letters to the editor: Herald readers sound off on top issues

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:11:56 GMT

Migrant influxKudos to the Boston Herald for pointing out the issue of migrants pouring into our large cities.  The Bay State and New York City’s “right to shelter laws” are getting well advertised and passed through word of mouth. NYC Mayor Eric Adams believes that housing unlimited migrants will “destroy the city.” Governor Kathy Hochul has even stated that the constant  flow of immigrants is “unsustainable.” Up here in our “sanctuary” state, Governor Maura Healey is trying to figure out where to place unhoused or homeless people when there aren’t any places left to go. Homeless advocates have filed a lawsuit forcing her to find beds that don’t exist and do it quickly.When these so-called housing reforms and court orders came about  40 years ago, they clearly didn’t anticipate the destruction of our border control and the ongoing flow of migrants pouring into the Commonwealth and other communities across Ameri...

Older cat’s eyes act up & younger cat’s coughing

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 02:11:56 GMT

Dear Dr. John,I recently acquired a cat who is not quite a year old as a playmate for my older cat who is 13. My older cat has had a history of intermittent eye problems with redness and discharge. My vet always gives me an ointment and it goes away every time. It started up again a few days ago and while it is not as bad this time, my young cat seems to be coughing. It is not a hairball retch as I know what that looks like. Both cats seem to otherwise be OK with normal appetites and energy level. Should I take them in to be seen and what might be going on? Could there be a relationship between the two signs in the two cats? I am also puzzled as to why my older cat periodically gets this eye issue.  A.L.Dear A.L.,While dust and other irritants might be affecting your older cat’s eyes from time to time over the years, there is also the possibility of your cat having a recurring viral infection leading to conjunctivitis. While often brought about by stress, sometimes the reason for it...
