slot vip yono When a city’s NFL mascot gets its own Super Bowl ring, you know you’ve got a champion on your hands. That was the case with Thunder, the Denver Broncos’ real-life mascot, after the team won the 2016 Super Bowl. Yes, it was a real ring, but also a symbolic gesture — just like Thunder. A quartet of majestic, white Arabian horses, all owned by Denver entrepreneur and philanthropist Sharon Magness Blake, have appeared under the name at games and events over the last three decades, even flying to select cities and appearing on TV shows. Just as important, Magness Blake said, have been the celebrity equine’s appearances at the National Western Stock Show during its 16-day run at the National Western Center, which takes place each January in Denver. “All the Thunders have been out there,” said Magness Blake, who has been providing Arabians to the Broncos since 1993. “They’ve been at roping classes, or done Dancing with the Horses on Kid’s Day. We have a free kids day at the (Stock Show), but last time I was there with Thunder they had neglected to tell us it was going to be 3,000 kids!” The turnout surprised Magness Blake, who’s a trustee of the event, but it makes sense given that attendance has been up year-over-year since 2021, with a total of about 700,000 earlier this year (with revenues “rising accordingly,” according to the Stock Show). In September, Stock Show leaders named Magness Blake 2025’s Citizen of the West , a prestigious award that recognizes not only her work with animals, but her wide-ranging, massively successful fundraising for nonprofits and worthy causes — to the tune of more than $100 million by this point. “I grew up in Philadelphia with modest means, so I gravitate toward women who are abused, children and the elderly,” she said of her fundraising work. “I also grew up loving horses, but didn’t have access to them because I lived in a city of concrete.” “What has always struck me about Sharon is how comfortable she is with all people,” said Sen. John Hickenlooper, then governor of Colorado, in 2011 when Magness Blake won the Mizel Community Enrichment Award . “She is literally right at home with some of the biggest stars in show business, but not at the expense of others. Few have her level of grace; there’s always such a sense of joy around her.” Magness Blake’s ability to land stars such as Garth Brooks for fundraisers has helped her success. But the 46th Citizen of the West award is particular to Denver, honoring those “who embody the spirit and determination of the Western pioneer – a true representative of Western lifestyle, ideals, agricultural heritage, and traditions,” according to the Stock Show. A panel of community leaders selects recipients, they said. That includes past winners and honchos at the 118-year-old event. “Sharon is an extraordinary citizen and philanthropist, supportive and freely giving of her talent, time and treasure,” wrote Pete Coors, chairman of the Stock Show’s $150 million capital campaign, Honoring the Legacy, in an email to The Denver Post. Magness Blake is a committee member of Honoring the Legacy, which is raising funds to support transformative construction on the National Western Complex’s grounds. She’s also an old friend, and a known quantity when it comes to supporting key Denver causes, Coors said. Like him, Magness Blake is one of Colorado’s business and philanthropic elite, but also a boots-on-the-ground type when it comes to Western culture. “Sharon’s love of horses is legendary; from owning and raising Arabian horses to thrilling Denver Broncos fans with Thunder she has made innumerable contributions to the world of horses,” he wrote. Magness Blake, the widow of billionaire cable TV pioneer Bob Magness , who died in 1996, has long raised and trained horses. As the Stock Show rightly boasts, Magness Racing Ventures sold 900 racing horses worldwide at its peak. Since 2004, Magness Blake has been married to former Breckenridge mayor and retired attorney Ernie Blake, who also shares her love of horses and travels with Thunder. Magness, who lives with Blake in Cherry Hills, has sat on boards and raised money for Volunteers of America, the Denver Council of Boy Scouts of America, the University of Colorado Hospital Foundation, the Garth Brooks Teammates for Kids Foundation, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, Denver Center for the Performing Arts and many others. She’s also president of the Thunder Foundation, a partner with Denver’s Epicurean Catering, and organizer of the Denver Broncos’ annual holiday party for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. Still, she’s most closely associated in society circles with Western Fantasy, the main fundraiser for Volunteers of America, through which she’s raised about $40 million over the last three decades. She’s stepping back from that now, she said, following a couple of staph infections over the last year that nearly killed her, both from back surgeries. Fortunately, last year’s Western Fantasy raised $2.8 million — thanks in part to her husband stepping in to sell tables while she was recovering. “It’s funny because I am very competitive,” she said of the 31-year-old event, which she co-founded with Jean Galloway. “We beat every other event in Denver last year in (fundraising totals), which was our first year ever to do that. So this was going out on a high note for me.” She’s confident that when the $1 billion Stock Show project is finished, the muddy charm of the event will remain. With CEO Paul Andrews stepping down next year , it’s vitally important to continue the organization’s legacy and character. “It’s going to be a new awakening, if you can get people in there — which I’m sure we will,” she said. “We’ll be able to experience Western heritage in a modern way, and educate people about it, because let’s face it: you’ve got to reach young people in different ways than we used to.” Magness Blake is happy to use her position to donate, organize, and otherwise support nonprofit causes. But the 2025 Citizen of the West award is going not just to her, but to countless people who have helped in her efforts over the years, she said. “It’s great recognition not just for what I do, but what I’m part of, because teamwork is what the West is really about,” she said. “Most people don’t do things for credit, they do it because they love it. ... They don’t want any recognition, but are always there when you need them.” The 46th Citizen of the West award dinner takes place Jan. 13, 2025. Proceeds support the National Western Scholarship Trust. For tickets, call Erika Schroeder at 303-299-5560 or email eschroeder@nationalwestern.com.

Premier League fans with the filthiest mouths decided with 13,000 x-rated rantsOriginally published Nov. 21 on IdahoEdNews.org . The newly elected trustees for the North Idaho College board were met with a standing ovation Wednesday evening as they took their oaths of office. The group’s installation was described as the end of a difficult era by college President Nick Swayne, community members, and the trustees themselves. “Today, Nov. 20, 2024, one door closes and another one opens,” Swayne said. “Despite very challenging circumstances and costly distractions, my administration and I, including the faculty and staff who chose to stay with us over the last few years, were able to keep the college on track, improve enrollment, and nurture nationally ranked programs and some of the best academics for our students.” New trustees of the Couer d'Alene college, Rick Durbin, Eve Knudtsen and Mary Havercroft, affirmed their focus on resolving bad governance issues that led to the college’s accreditation being in limbo with the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. Retaining accreditation was the group’s central campaign promise in opposition to a group of trustee candidates endorsed by the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee (KCRCC) — aligned with the prior board majority — which the new trustees argued caused the accreditation issues. Nearly 100 community members attended the meeting, repeatedly clapping and cheering throughout the meeting as the trustees were sworn in and began to address the issues laid out in the NWCCU’s recent campus visit report. The new trustees had a lengthy agenda for their first meeting, several trustees noted, however they covered the topics in an hour and a half, compared to the typical two-hour long meetings in recent years. THE RUNDOWN The two incumbent trustees, Brad Corkill and Tarie Zimmerman, were unanimously elected chair and vice chair, respectively. Havercroft was elected as secretary/treasurer. Corkill was absent from Wednesday’s meeting with a cold. Public comment was returned to the top of the meeting. A handful of community members spoke, most welcoming the new board. Pat Lippert, former philosophy professor at NIC, thanked the board for addressing votes of no confidence in prior iterations of the board on their agenda. “I am confident this signals a resolve to respond to this issue at last,” Lippert said. The new board is supportive of education and understands its importance, Lippert said. Charlie Ward, a freshman on NIC’s golf team, asked the board to address what will happen to student athletes' scholarships if changes are made to athletic programs. He is an international student and wanted clarification if current scholarship commitments will be honored. The board addressed the issue later in the meeting by unanimously authorizing Swayne to conduct a comprehensive review of athletic program sustainability, while ensuring commitments made to current students are fulfilled. A couple people expressed concerns over the board’s new direction, including Howard Kuhns. Kuhns brought up that after the previous board majority was elected the trustee meeting had to be shut down and noted that wasn’t happening Wednesday. “This meeting will go smoothly not because you are better trustees but because the supporters of the candidates who have lost have respect for the electoral process,” Kuhns said. “They are not here being disruptive.” He went on to pray for the trustees that the Holy Spirit would “move them to reject racism disguised as diversity, to reject socialism disguised as equity, and to reject the sexual perversion of the LGBTQ movement.” Kathleen Miller-Green, faculty assembly chair, said faculty were hopeful with the installation of the new board. “In many ways today marks a turning point, a new chapter for North Idaho College,” Miller-Green said. “We come together at a time of transition after years have tested our resilience, unity, and a commitment to the values that define us.” She went on to acknowledge the work ahead to heal rifts left by the strife of recent years. “I stand before you as a representative of our incredible faculty with confidence knowing that the arrival of this new board brings with it the opportunity for healing, collaboration and renewal,” Miller-Green said. The board addressed a handful of issues brought up in the recent campus visit evaluation report by the NWCCU: The next step for NIC in the accreditation process is for Swayne, Corkill, and a team of administrators to present to the NWCCU at their January meeting in Seattle. The college must return to good standing by April, a deadline set by the United States Department of Education.

OTTAWA — NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says his party will not support a Liberal plan to give Canadians a GST holiday and $250 unless the government expands eligibility for the cheques, saying the rebate leaves out “the most vulnerable.” The Liberals announced a plan last week to cut the federal sales tax on a raft of items like toys and restaurant meals for two months, and to give $250 to more than 18.7 million Canadians in the spring. Speaking after a Canadian Labour Congress event in Ottawa, Singh says he’s open to passing the GST legislation, but the rebate needs to include seniors, students, people who are on disability benefits and those who were not able to work last year. Singh says he initially supported the idea because he thought the rebate cheques would go to anyone who earned under $150,000 last year. But the so-called working Canadians rebate will be sent to those who had an income, leaving out people Singh says need the help. The government intends to include the measures in the fall economic statement, which has not yet been introduced in the House of Commons. The proposed GST holiday would begin in mid-December, lasting for two months. It would remove the GST on prepared foods at grocery stores, some alcoholic drinks, children’s clothes and toys, Christmas trees, restaurant meals, books, video games and physical newspapers. A privilege debate has held up all government business in the House since late September, with the Conservatives pledging to continue a filibuster until the government hands over unredacted documents related to misspending at a green technology fund. The NDP said last week they had agreed to pause the privilege debate in order to pass the legislation to usher in the GST holiday. Singh said Tuesday that unless there are changes to the proposed legislation, he will not support pausing the debate. The Bloc Québécois is also pushing for the rebates to be sent to seniors and retirees. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 26, 2024. David Baxter, The Canadian Press
