By LILY O’NEILL | The Denver Post My birthday is close to Memorial Day weekend every year, and I like to take advantage of the long weekend by checking a town off of my Colorado travel list. In years past, my friends and I have soaked up the San Juan Mountain views in the warmth of the Pagosa hot springs and gone whitewater rafting in Class 4 rapids down the Royal Gorge in Cañon City. This year, we’re planning on sandboarding through Great Sand Dunes National Park. But it was my trip to Ouray in 2022 that still has me in pure awe. The mountain town is tucked in a valley surrounded by the San Juan Mountain Range and lives up to its “Switzerland of America” nickname. It takes roughly 5 1/2 hours to get there from Denver. This month, Men’s Journal named Ouray the No. 1 vacation destination in the U.S. out of 50 on its 2024 list — for good reason. Here’s a quick guide to my Ouray vacation for your reference, before the out-of-state tourists start crowding the humble mountain streets: Where

(Photo by Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images) The annual Record Store Day, now 17 years old, has become a nirvana for music lovers worldwide. It’s not only an excuse to visit an independent record store, but also to pick up dozens of special, limited edition — and mostly vinyl — titles being released especially for the day. Among the Michigan-related discs coming out this year are Slum Village’s “Detroit Deli (A Taste of Detroit),” the Amboy Dukes’ “Journey to the Center of the Mind” LP, Motown songwriter Lamont Dozier’s “Love & Beauty,” Iggy & the Stooges’ “Live at Lockerse Feesten 2005,” Yusef Lateef’s “Atlantis Lullaby: The Concert From Avignon,” “Osmlum Deluxe Edition” from Parliament, and a specially curated compilation of the Westbound

SACRAMENTO — Any season can be defined by its moments, the everlasting split-seconds burned into memories. For the Warriors — the historically expensive club desperate to lay more tracks for its dynastic train — too many of those moments were self-inflicted damage. Draymond Green saw red too many times — a headlock here, a flail there — costing him a quarter of the season. Game-winning prayers from Nikola Jokic and Malik Monk rattled in instead of out, putting the Warriors on the wrong side of the blown-lead ledger. They stuck with their starting lineup from last year too long, and didn’t add or subtract at the deadline. And so, their season ended on April 16 in Sacramento. The next morning, they cleaned out their lockers at the Chase Center. Viewed through the prism of wringing out the most of every last great Steph Curry season, this year was squandered. Too many dark moments eclipsed those of promise. “At the end of the day, I just want to win,” Curry said in Sacramento. “I know that’s fully possible. I know this summer’s going to be a

WASHINGTON — Boeing’s already battered reputation took another hit at two Senate committee hearings Wednesday on Capitol Hill, with witnesses questioning how the company builds airplanes and the safety of those planes. One of the key witnesses was Boeing engineer Sam Salehpour, a whistleblower who said he’s been threatened for bringing safety concerns to his managers over several years, but that he was testifying due to his belief that “they are putting out defective airplanes.” “I have serious concerns about the safety of the 787 and 777 aircraft and I’m willing to take on professional risk to talk about them,” he said in his opening statement. He said when he raised concerns, “I was ignored. I was told not to create delays. I was told, frankly, to shut up.” He said that Boeing used “unmeasured and unlimited” amount of force – including people jumping on pieces of the airplane – to correct misalignment between sections of jets, and that the gap ended up being much more than the 5/1000th of an inch allowed by Boeing’s own standards. Boeing did not have any witnesses at either

MADERA, Calif. (KFSN) — Madera Police believe a fire at a Madera playground may be an act of arson. Officers were called out to the John W. Wells Youth Center Tuesday night on 5th and Flume Streets. About a quarter of the structure was destroyed by the flames. City officials say this is the second incident of a playground fire in Madera this week, following a fire at the Rotary Park playground last Sunday. Investigators also found evidence that accelerants may have been used in both cases. There’s no word of any arrests in either incident. Copyright © 2024 KFSN-TV. All Rights Reserved.

By EDITH M. LEDERER (Associated Press) UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations appealed for $2.8 billion on Tuesday to provide desperately needed aid to 3 million Palestinians, stressing that tackling looming famine in war-torn Gaza requires not only food but sanitation, water and health facilities. Andrea De Domenico, the head of the U.N. humanitarian office for Gaza and the West Bank, told reporters that “massive operations” are required to restore those services and meet minimum standards — and this can’t be done during military operations. He pointed to the destruction of hospitals, water and sanitation facilities, homes, roads and schools, adding that “there is not a single university that is standing in Gaza.” De Domenico said Israel’s recently-ended second major military operation at Shifa Hospital, Gaza’s largest medical facility, was so destructive the facility has been forced to shut down. As an example, he questioned what the military objective was in shooting an MRI scanner that examines parts of the body and can detect cancers. He said his team has been dealing with “a scene of terror” at the hospital, with U.N. and Palestinian

SACRAMENTO — Steph Curry, master of focus, sipped a beer with a 10,000-yard stare. The loquacious Draymond Green seemed to be at a loss for words. The ever-positive Klay Thompson was downright despondent. The Warriors’ season ended Tuesday night at the hot hands of the Sacramento Kings, and the bout left the once-great champions dazed. The question was plastered across each of the greats’ faces before the final buzzer sounded and well after as well: What just happened? Let me tell you: The No. 10 seed in the Western Conference—the worst team in the Western Conference postseason—was jumped from the opening tip-off Tuesday. They were pushed around and beaten up, and they provided little to no resistance to the Kings‘ ever-present force. The Warriors were punked. And it left the once-mighty Warriors — with a core that has played for and won everything —  looking like a team over its head in a lowly play-in tournament game. Sacramento is hardly a team of destiny—a future champion on the rise. The Kings stink, too. This squad entered this No. 9 vs. No. 10 game as underdogs
