DENVER (AP) — A United Airlines pilot has been charged with criminal mischief for allegedly using an ax to destroy a barrier gate at an employee parking lot at Denver’s airport, telling authorities he was trying to help several drivers exit and “he just hit his breaking point.”Kenneth Henderson Jones, 63, is accused of repeatedly striking the metal parking arm with a long-handled ax Aug. 2, knocking it off of its base and then fleeing on foot when a lot attendant confronted him.

Snags persist, but overall improvement for Kentucky district restarting classes after busing fiasco

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:26:08 GMT

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Despite some snags, Kentucky’s largest school district finished its bus drop-offs much earlier on Friday than it did a week earlier when a busing debacle on the first day of school delayed some students by hours. Friday marked the first day back for elementary and middle school students after Jefferson County Public Schools canceled class for a week due to the busing problems. While some parents still reported delays on Friday, the district said in a news release that it dropped its last student off by 7:43 p.m., much earlier than the final drop-offs on Aug. 9 when some students got home after 9 p.m. On Friday all but 17 students had been dropped off by 7:15. That was on par with the busing performance on the first day of school in 2022, district officials said.“Our bus drivers and staff did a phenomenal job getting tens of thousands of students safely to and from school today,” Marty Pollio, the district superintendent, said in a statement. “The short-...

Chemical treatment to be deployed against invasive fish in Colorado River

PAGE, Ariz. (AP) — The National Park Service will renew efforts to rid an area of the Colorado River in northern Arizona of invasive fish by killing them with a chemical treatment, the agency said Friday. A substance lethal to fish but approved by federal environmental regulators called rotenone will be disseminated starting Aug. 26. It’s the latest tactic in an ongoing struggle to keep non-native smallmouth bass and green sunfish at bay below the Glen Canyon Dam and to protect a threatened native fish, the humpback chub.The treatment will require a weekend closure of the Colorado River slough, a cobble bar area surrounding the backwater where the smallmouth bass were found and a short stretch up and downstream. Chemical substances were also utilized last year.The effort will “be carefully planned and conducted to minimize exposure” to humans as well as “desirable fish species,” according to the National Park Service. An “impermeable fabric barrier” will be erected at th...
