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.

Bus stop cancellation leads to scare for 2nd grader, parents

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — Bill Schwerin says he was shocked last month, when his son, Erik, was late coming home from Arrowwood Elementary School, in Highlands Ranch.

“The bus never showed up,” said Schwerin. “As a parent, I was worried.”

A day earlier, on October 8, the school district sent him an email explaining that Erik’s bus route would be suspended in about two weeks, on October 22.

“They discontinued it the day they sent the email,” said Schwerin, explaining that the email was misleading. “Not the 22nd like they said they were going to.”

Without knowing his route had been canceled, the second grader jumped onto another bus, which dropped him off more than a mile from his house.

The seven-year-old started walking, trying to find his way home. He ended up walking in a 1.2-mile loop, at times through heavy traffic.

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.

Sergio: One Nation, Two Choices

FOX31 Denver has complete election night coverage on the air and online featuring political perspectives and analysis from across the spectrum. On Monday, former GOP lawmaker Rob Witwer and former Colorado Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak offered a preview of what to watch for tonight.

Here, KBNO’s Fernando Sergio offers his thoughts on the democratic process that plays out every four years.

DENVER — Every four years Americans across this great nation exercise the incredible privilege of electing a President. It is one of the cornerstones of our democracy, the greatest in the world, that sometimes creates an atmosphere of confusion with the barrage of political advertisements and talking points that voters are subjected to.
