SEATTLE — Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said the team is still not considering Valeri Nichushkin’s absence disciplinary in light of the release of a police report revealing Nichushkin’s involvement in an incident at the Avalanche team hotel last Saturday.“I’m not going to get into it, because it’s personal,” Bednar said Friday when asked if Nichushkin violated team rules. “It’s not a professional decision. It’s a personal decision, why he’s not here.”According to a Seattle Police Department report acquired by The Post via records request Thursday, a woman found in Nichushkin’s hotel room was so intoxicated that a team doctor called for an ambulance to take her to a hospital. The incident occurred four hours before Game 3 of the Avalanche’s playoff series vs. the Kraken.

Unhoused Denver residents who have health problems face increasingly difficult days following the shutdown this week of one of the two hotels converted for government-backed temporary emergency protective housing during the COVID-19 pandemic.The 140-room Aloft hotel downtown has closed its doors, clerks confirmed Friday, saying this six-story building near the Convention Center now is undergoing “renovations” and won’t be re-opened until July — as a commercial hotel. Since January, city caseworkers have been tasked with helping about 124 people who were staying in Aloft find other shelters.Denver City Council members approved $13.3 million last year to fund extended use of the Aloft building for a six-month period that ended on Thursday.

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:15:00 GMT
California air regulators on Friday approved first-in-the-nation rules to ban the sale of new diesel big rig trucks statewide by 2036.The rules approved unanimously by the California Air Resources Board also require companies in California with more than 50 trucks to convert their truck fleets to zero-emission vehicles by 2042.The historic vote to require new trucks to run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells — sending diesel the way of leaded gasoline — is the latest step in the slow, but steady phase-out of fossil fuels in California, designed to reduce smog and greenhouse gases that are causing climate change. Last year, the air board, most of whose 16 members are appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, voted to prohibit the sale of new gasoline-burning passenger vehicles in California in 2035.“This is an absolutely transformative rule to clean our air and mitigate climate change,” said Liane Randolph, chair of the board.Industry groups opposed the rules and said...Four-bedroom home sells for $2.9 million in Los Gatos
