(KDVR) — Body camera video helps boost a stark warning to animal owners after an officer broke into a hot vehicle to rescue a dog.The police body camera video captures the rescue of a 13-year-old terrier from a car earlier this month. Police received a call to rescue the dog, Lucy, who was locked in the car at a shopping center on an 85-degree day. A father fought against gun violence, and then it took his son Temperatures in the locked car registered at 113 degrees.“The dog was down by the foot pedals trying to get cool. That's the coldest part in the vehicle,” said Lawrence Hernandez, Brighton Police community services officer.

The two federal criminal prosecutions most in the news right now — of Donald Trump and Hunter Biden — highlight the limits of the existing special counsel regulations. In one case, the executive branch is prosecuting the president’s leading opposition candidate. In the other, the executive branch is prosecuting the president’s son. The president, of course, is the head of the executive branch.We need a better system.To be sure, the prosecutors seem to be doing everything by the book. Yet the fact remains that, in a democracy, one candidate shouldn’t be able to prosecute another. And no one should ever be in the chain of command for the prosecution of their own child.There is a cure, one adopted by Congress after Richard Nixon ordered the firing of special prosecutor Archibald Cox during Watergate: Congress can pass a law creating a genuinely independent counsel, one who cannot be fired by the president. This would create a legitimate distance between the president and the prosecutio...Comics Come Home talent at full strength for TD Garden show

Back in the early ‘90s, when Denis Leary was watching Cam Neely, Cam Neely was watching Denis Leary.During his storied professional career with the Bruins, Neely spent a lot of off nights in Boston’s comedy clubs.“I really enjoyed watching live standup,” Neely told the Boston Herald. “I preferred to do that over going to a movie so I’d go with a couple teammates to comedy clubs.”Neely dug the whole rising Boston comedy scene — a crowd of comics that included Steven Wright, Steve Sweeney, and Lenny Clarke. But there was one younger comic who he really wanted to check out.“I got to know (comedy booker) Mike Clarke, Lenny’s brother, and I said, ‘Listen, if Denis Leary ever comes into town to do anything, let me know, I’d love to see him,’” Neely said. “He said, ‘As a matter of fact he is doing a comedy benefit in Worcester.’”Neely made the trip west, loved the set, met Leary at the show, and the two became fast friends. That friendship continues to this day through the Cam Neely Founda...Street corn pudding a twist on Southern classic

Summer is the best season because that’s when we get to eat corn.This easy corn pudding recipe is made with two types of canned corn: the cream variety and kernel.Rich and creamy, with a soft, soufflé-like texture, corn pudding is a classic Southern side dish. Here, it gets extra oomph from roasted jalapeno peppers and a generous dusting of crumbled queso fresco, a soft and slightly tangy white cheese that’s a staple in many Mexican kitchens.The result is “like Mexican street corn and cornbread had a baby,” says Ernest Servantes, whose Texas restaurant Burnt Bean Co. originated the elotes-flavored dish.No truer words have ever been spoken!The pudding is offered as a side dish but honestly, you could almost make a vegetarian meal out of it if you pair it with a nice salad. I wouldn’t turn it down for breakfast, either. Also, while it’s best served hot, it’s pretty delicious at room temperature, too.Crema, the Mexican version of sour cream (it...Pesto & aioli add fresh kick to easy chicken salad

If you want nothing to do with the oven or the stove, look to the Curious Palate’s Chicken Salad and simply skip over the part about roasting the chicken.Garnished with dried cranberries and roasted, sliced almonds, the salad is bound by a garlicky mayo that gets a punch of flavor from a freshly made basil pesto. (If you don’t want to make your own aioli or pesto, you can buy those premade as well — we don’t judge.)This wonderful chicken salad from Mar Vista’s The Curious Palate restaurant features almonds, dried cranberries and scallions.TAG GOES HEREThe Curious Palate’s Chicken SaladINGREDIENTS1 (5- to 5 1/2-pound) roasting chickenSalt1/2 apple1/2 lemonA few sprigs thyme1 garlic clove2 bay leaves5 black peppercornsDIRECTIONSHeat the oven to 375 degrees.Season the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, seasoning the inside and outside.

If it “got late early” in the old majestic Yankee Stadium with its long shadows, as the famous Yogi Berra quote had it, it’s gotten late before about the fourth inning in the Republican presidential race.A new national CBS poll has Donald Trump leading second-place Ron DeSantis by 46 points, 62-16. The latest Fox News poll had a more modest 37-point Trump lead. (Vivek Ramaswamy is third in both surveys, at 7 and 11% respectively.)It’s sometimes said that Trump is the de facto incumbent in the race, and indeed these are the kind of numbers you’d expect of a sitting president who is sweeping marginal opponents to the side as he secures his party’s renomination.The top-line results aren’t that different from the primacy race — such as it is — on the Democratic side. The Fox poll has Joe Biden beating Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. 64 to 17, with Marianne Williamson at 9.Is there a mercy rule in presidential politics?Trump could be forgiven ...Watermelon’s the star of this steakhouse wedge salad

Steakhouse fans eagerly anticipate digging into the savory cuts of sizzling beef waiters serve up. The precursor to that portion of the meal is often a wedge salad, which offers a crisp complement to the richness of the steak.Wedge salads are traditionally made with iceberg lettuce and drizzled with a flavorful dressing – often blue cheese. However, there’s no set rules when it comes to wedge salads. With this recipe for “Watermelon Wedge Steakhouse Salad,” courtesy of the National Watermelon Promotion Board and 2018 Watermelon Recipe Contest Winner Chauna Havey, diners can skip the lettuce altogether.TAG GOES HEREWatermelon Wedge Steakhouse SaladINGREDIENTSFor the dressing:1/3 cup finely diced watermelon1 cup sour cream1/3 cup peeled and finely diced watermelon rind1/4 cup watermelon juice1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon black pepperFor the salad and toppings:4 thick wedges of watermelon4 tablespoons real bacon crumbles4 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles2 tablespo...Editorial: Biden can’t spin his way out of migrant crisis

President Biden and his White House handlers are nothing if not masters of spin.He insisted his Build Back Better agenda, which called for trillions in government spending, would cost “zero dollars.”As the country reeled from brutal inflation spurred by all that spending, Biden termed it “transitory,” and when that didn’t work, blamed inflation on Donald Trump (“It was already there when I got here, man,” he said).Now Biden’s having his Katrina moment, running damage control with a trip to Maui to see the devastation caused by the massive wildfires there. His earlier, dismissive “no comment” take on the disaster casts a pall on any words of comfort from him.Yet Democrats are still backing Biden for re-election, despite his dismal poll numbers. A Morning Consult survey found 77% of potential Democratic primary voters saying they would opt for Biden.The spin is strong.But it may be hitting a snag.The immigration crisis has sp...Latest news
