KIRKWOOD, Mo. - Questions about 'racy' content in this year's yearbook have been raised by some Kirkwood High School parents.Inside the 400-page yearbook is a portion where students share their opinions on hookups, the concept of a casual sexual relationship, and its benefits and consequences. A picture of birth control was in the background.Kirkwood parent Derek Byers has seen the yearbook. His son, Wyatt, is graduating in two days. Byers ran the Kirkwood scholarship program for six years.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:18:23 GMT

As an American Jew, my recent trip to Israel highlighted similar issues facing both countries.The dual events of celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel and the opening of the Museum of Tolerance-Jerusalem brought to mind the pressing need for dialogue and a shared commitment to tolerance. These are essential values for our thriving but imperfect democratic systems.The strength and resilience of this tiny democratic nation, the only one in the Middle East, cannot be denied.Israel is the size of New Jersey and with a population of 9.7 million people. Jews make up roughly 7 million of the overall population. Despite its size, Israel is an economic and military powerhouse. Israel’s technology and innovation are the envy of the entire world. Israel was ranked the fourth-best economy in 2022 among a list of OECD countries, according to The Economist.Israel also has one of the most powerful militaries in the world.

Xcel Energy wants a $312M boost in its electric rates, but opponents urge cuts instead

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:18:23 GMT

Xcel Energy is seeking a $312 million increase in revenue in an electric rate case, but the state agency that represents the public wants regulators to instead cut the utility’s revenue by $26.6 million and block it from recovering millions of dollars of investments for transmission projects.If approved, Xcel Energy’s rate request would raise residential monthly rates an average of 8.2% and monthly rates for small businesses an average of 7.7%. Xcel, Colorado’s largest electric utility, says the increase would pay for investments in its distribution and transmission systems and information technology and ensure it can meet the state’s targets for cutting greenhouse-gas emissions.The Colorado Public Utilities Commission is considering the rate increase in the aftermath of skyrocketing natural gas prices that sent heating bills soaring this winter for customers of Xcel and other utilities. The outcry over the huge spikes led to hearings by a select legislative ...

She’d wear the tux. He, a masterful female impersonator, would be the bride.With some psychological accessorizing and a deep dive into the historical record by the playwright, “The Headliners” pulls the curtain on the pair as they head into their reall...
