Mines football opens Division II playoffs eyeing another run to the national championship game: “We have an extra chip on our shoulder”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:15:20 GMT

GOLDEN — New coach, same standard.The ultimate goal hasn’t changed for Colorado School of Mines football: national championship or bust.Under Pete Sterbick, the Orediggers’ third head coach in three years following Gregg Brandon retiring and Brandon Moore taking the head job at San Diego, Mines is undefeated and back as a favorite in the NCAA Division II playoffs after falling in the title game a season ago.“The culture’s the same and I think it’s gotten even better,” Sterbick said. “The difference is our experience factor has gotten that much better after a five-game playoff run last year. Our mentality on what we want to accomplish is the same as far as the end goal.“But we have an extra chip on our shoulder with how things ended last year, and we feel like all the time that we have to re-prove ourselves to people. People forget about us, so we’re fired up.”Mines’ Cinderella carriage turned into a pumpkin in t...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:15:20 GMT

For years, Gilroy has experienced a chronic firefighter staffing shortage – leading to slower response times that many say is a risk to their safety and homes.Now, residents and firefighters have had enough, and are urging the city to address the problem — an issue city officials readily acknowledge while pointing to funding shortages that they say make it difficult to resolve.“Right now we’re gambling with the lives of our residents, with our firefighters, with their health, with their safety, with that of their property,” said Gilroy Councilmember Rebeca Armendariz at a City Council meeting this week where residents and local firefighters rallied to draw attention to the shortage. “What are we going to do in the immediate?”The city currently has three fully-staffed fire stations. In 2020, they established a fourth temporary station housed in a building formerly used for children’s nature classes and located in the Santa Teresa area due to increased growth in that part ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:15:20 GMT

Gerry Smith | Bloomberg News (TNS)Sangamo Therapeutics Inc.’s cost cuts didn’t hurt just the roughly 162 U.S. workers who lost their jobs this month. It’s also a blow to Jerry Walter, who’s lost five family members and suffered kidney, lung, hearing and heart damage from a rare disease.Citing the “challenging economic environment” that’s sending shock waves through the biotech industry, Sangamo paused research on an experimental gene therapy — possibly a cure — for Fabry disease. Walter, a 69-year-old retired U.S. Army colonel who’s already had a heart transplant due to the inherited enzyme deficiency, said it’s disappointing to see work stop on yet another potential new medicine.“The promise of a better treatment keeps getting pushed down the road,” he said.Sangamo will finish a current Fabry trial as planned and is seeking funding or a partner for help with moving its studies to the final stage, a spokesperson said. Yet it’s been another bleak year for biotech companies as a close...
