Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

By: KDKA-TV's Cassidy WoodALIQUIPPA, Pa. (KDKA) — Aliquippa football coach Mike Warfield is taking a leave of absence from coaching.In his six seasons leading the Quips, Warfield had a record of 74-6, four WPIAL tiles and three state championships. Assistant coach Vashawn Patrick will take over as head coach. Warfield, an Aliquippa High alum, said he will still be around this program this upcoming season."You might see me selling some 50/50 raffle tickets, and I'll still be around from time to time but no longer coaching," he said. Last season, Aliquippa went 14-0 and won the 4A title. The Quips finished their first perfect season in school history with a dominant 60-14 win over Dallas in the title game. Patrick takes over a squad that is set to stay 4A after winning a lawsuit against the PIAA, preventing the school from being moved up to class 5A because of the state's competitive balance rule. The Beaver County Times reported that the PIAA is still pursuing legal action in this case, with a court hearing date set for Tuesday.

According to the nonprofit rescue organization, “Miracle was dumped at a lake in Texas and rescued by a good samaritan who has been fostering her since.” This compassionate individual provided Miracle with a temporary home and the love she desperately needed.

I walk every day at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Park Hill. A few days ago, I noticed for the first time what appeared to be exceptionally large hornets, or dragonflies, buzzing between the trees. These beasts can fly up and down or left and right and are extremely fast. They will whiz past your head as you walk past the trees they are buzzing around. They seems to be roosting in the pines.

Opinion: Giant insects buzz around MLK Jr. Park trees in Denver, but what are they?
