This despite having to endure 100-degree temperatures, mainly without supplemental irrigation (I’ve watered my flower beds and borders just twice this summer, and even then, only as a precaution).But I’m not doing anything special to turn my plants into superheroes. All I did was select the right ones at planting time – and plant them with TLC.CHOOSING HEAT-TOLERANT PLANTSIn extreme heat, especially when that heat is dry, soil moisture evaporates quickly, and plants turn to their own limited moisture reserves to rehydrate. This requires them to direct their energy, which should be spent on growth, flowering, fruiting and reproducing, toward cooling and hydrating. T...

Going 45 in a school zone is cause for jail time

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:25:25 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Summer is over for some districts and school is back in session. The default speed limit in Denver changed from 25 to 20 mph earlier this year, and school zones are even slower with twice the fine if you get pulled over. School traffic safety Most school zone speed limits range from a minimum of 20 mph during school hours, which is usually around 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. While this isn't much of a change from Denver's new speed limit, the penalty for breaking the limit is doubled in school zones, which can be easy to do on main roads. Fines for speeding 1 mph to 24 mph over the speed limit vary from $35-$200. However, driving anything over 25 mph has a minimum sentence of 10 days in jail and a maximum sentence of one year. And that's for non-school zone areas. What are the rules on student seclusion in Colorado schools? Going 25 mph over the speed limit in a school zone seems impossible, but there are almost 200 public schools in Denver, and many of them are on main ro...
