Denver CEO worries how new pot rules will affect hiring

DENVER — Small amounts of marijuana will soon be legal in Colorado, but nearly two weeks after the election, some business owners worry that Amendment 64 could make it harder for them to make money and help their companies grow.

“We supply the federal government, state government, U.S. EPA and U.S. Geological Survey with equipment and we’re required to have a drug-free workplace so it sends a mixed message to our employees on what’s OK and what’s not OK,” said Jeff Popiel, President and CEO of Geotech, a Denver environmental business. “My fear with the legislation is more and more people will be doing drugs so we have fewer and fewer people that are able to come here to work, so the talent pool gets reduced.”

Some irked by Facebook’s new pages for couples

(CNN) – Are you “in a relationship” on Facebook? If so, you might wish to go to this link: Facebook.com/us.

The page is the newly launched digital version of the relationship between you and your significant other, including posts, events and photos that both of you are tagged in.

Cute, right? Well, not so much, according to the (always cheery) Internet.

“I want to vomit,” wrote blogger Jennifer Wright.

Emma Barnett, women’s editor at The Telegraph, wrote that she may break up with her husband on Facebook just to get rid of the newly created couple’s page.

Denver rescue mission needs 18,000 turkeys

DENVER — The Denver Rescue Mission is asking for turkey donations for their Great Thanksgiving Banquet.

According to a spokesman, the Mission has only 270 turkeys on hand. They have requests for more than 18,000 turkeys from 103 local agencies including churches, schools and nonprofits, said Alexxa Gagner.

“The Mission will feed thousands of meals this holiday season,” Brad Meuli, President/CEO of Denver Rescue Mission said. “We don’t do this alone, we are able to do this with our community’s support.”

The turkeys are served at the Great Thanksgiving Banquet on November 21st and given to families in 1,250 food boxes throughout the Metro area.

The Mission is asking for donations of frozen turkeys weighing 12 pounds or more. Donations can be brought to the Lawrence Street shelter at the corner of Park Avenue and Lawrence Street.

FOX31 confronts dentists with a dark side

DENVER — A Denver dentist accused of re-using dirty needles on 8,000 patients and practicing while high on prescription drugs may not be the only dentist with a dark side operating in Colorado.

A review of public complaints against Metro Denver dentists has uncovered a disturbing trend whereby dentists with suspended licenses or questionable backgrounds are still practicing medicine, and the state is doing little to stop them, a FOX31 investigation has found.

The complaints list includes Dr. Stephen Stein, who made headlines in Colorado when authorities discovered he had been reusing needles — potentially exposing some 8,000 patients.
