Estevan Almanza has worked in the construction industry for nearly a decade, with his pay increasing from to 22 an hour.Over the past few years, he’s seen this industry struggle to find qualified workers. That has been putting extra stress on him and his crew.“A lot of work on us,” Almanza said. “It’s more tiring, but I guess more hours.”And now, it's more concerning because the impact of this labor shortage is being felt across the country.Associated Builders and Contractors projects the construction industry will need nearly half a million more workers in 2020 and an additional 740,000 more in 2021.This shortage of construction workers could end up costing you.“The laborers, they affect everybody’s lives,” said Zsuzsa Balogh, Ph.D., the program coordinator in the Department of Civil Engineering Technology at Metropolitan State University of Denver.She says the reasons for the shortage range from retirement to construction workers retraining themselves for other industries.With less skilled laborers and more of the qualified workers clocking overtime, Balogh believes that extra cost is passed on to consumers.“You can see the increase of the cost,” she said. “Basically, somewhere that money has to show, and the consumers will be the ones to pay that extra money.”In an attempt to help attract more skilled workers, some contractors are offering improved incentives like health care, 401k options and yearly raises.“It’s as bad as we’ve ever seen,” said Todd Smith, vice president of operations for Lawrence Construction Company. “Very few people are going into this industry.” Smith says this shortage of skilled workers is creating a timeline of concern.“Right now, we’ve had ads out for certain positions for six months and haven’t gotten any responses yet,” he said. Smith believes in addition to the spike in retirements, there’s also fewer construction workers because there’s less vocational training available.“We’ve pushed all of our young people into college which college is great for some people for some people but not for everyone,” Smith said.As companies like Lawrence Construction continue to struggle to find staff, bids keep getting higher.“It’s going to be driving the prices up, because it’s now with the labor shortage, now the people can demand a higher pay,” Smith said.Though construction is hard work, Smith says its can also be very rewarding.“You can drive down a stretch of road and tell you family, ‘I worked on this job’” he said. “And you can do that for many years to come.” 2543

DENVER — On World Autism Awareness Day Tuesday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a bill that expands medical marijuana use. Advocates have been fighting for two years to add autism to a list of qualifying medical conditions in Colorado.“I definitely believe it’s going to help kids for many reasons," said Michelle Walker, a parent of an autistic child who has other conditions that qualified him for medical marijuana. "One of the biggest reasons is I’ve seen it. I’ve seen my son’s life change. I’ve seen our family’s life change. It’s done a 180, and we’re not the only ones."Walker and her family moved to Colorado for the sole reason of obtaining medical marijuana for her son. He was able to start using medical marijuana to treat his seizures but said she also noticed a difference in his overall behavior."So I know it is an option for others and that it can be a beneficial option," Walker said.Walker and other families were at the Colorado State Capitol last year when a similar bill was vetoed. Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper did not sign off on the bill because he said more research was needed."It was heartbreaking," she said. "I cried, and my son has access, but to look in these families eyes after they had fought so hard, it was crushing."Those parents cried happy tears when Polis signed the bill on Tuesday. Jackie Bess brought her son Jackson to the governor's office to take part in the celebration. She hopes the move will help normalize the use of medical marijuana for autism ensuring parents will be able to talk about it with their child's doctor."Right now doctors won’t talk to us about it," Bess said. "Definitely, it will help other families."Bess and Walker agree that medical marijuana might not be the right solution for all kids with autism, but they believe families should have the option to try it."We’re not saying medical marijuana for anyone, anything," Bess said. "We’re saying autism is special and it requires some more tools in our toolbox," 2008

Cardinal George Pell, the most senior Vatican official to be convicted of sex abuse to date, has been sentenced to six years in prison for the "callous" assault of two choirboys in the late 1990s.A former senior adviser to Pope Francis, Pell showed no reaction when Chief Judge Peter Kidd handed down his sentence in a hearing broadcast live worldwide on Wednesday from Victoria's County Court in central Melbourne.Pell, 77, was found guilty of one count of sexual penetration of a child and four counts of committing an indecent act with a child last December after a secret five-week trial.Reporting of the trial and verdict was suppressed by the court to avoid prejudicing a second trial, which crown prosecutors abandoned in February after the judge ruled some prosecution evidence couldn't be submitted.On Wednesday, Judge Kidd said Pell's attack on the victims was "breathtakingly arrogant."But the judge said Pell was "not to be made a scapegoat for any failings or perceived failings of the Catholic Church."Pell's legal team has previously announced it will appeal his conviction on three grounds, including that the jury's verdict on all five charges was unreasonable, based on the evidence submitted. The Court of Appeal is due to hear submissions in early June.The sentencingPell has spent the past two weeks in custody and was brought into the court from the Melbourne Assessment Prison (MAP) via an internal entrance, avoiding rows of cameras set up outside the court in central Melbourne.More than 150 people crammed into the courtroom, which had been fitted with extra seats to cope with the demand from those who wanted to be there in person to hear how he'd be punished.Pell sat in the back of the courtroom, surrounded by security officers but uncuffed, as Judge Kidd delivered a detailed explanation of the crimes the cardinal had committed and the reasons for the sentence.After mass one Sunday in the late 1990s, Judge Kidd recounted, Pell caught two choirboys drinking communion wine in the priest's sacristy and one by one forced them to engage in sex acts, despite their sobs and pleas for him to let them go.The first choirboy told how he was forced to perform oral sex on the cardinal, who at the time was Archbishop of Melbourne and a revered figure within the Catholic Church.The boy didn't tell anyone what had happened for years, before finally approached Victoria Police in 2015, almost 20 years after the crime. His statement led to an investigation and a number of historical sex abuse charges being filed against the then-Vatican treasurer.After his conviction, the Vatican launched its own investigation into Pell, which could lead to the cardinal losing his clerical status or being "defrocked," a severe punishment imposed by the Pope and not subject to appeal.The victimsIn his ruling, Judge Kidd was careful not to name the two victims, one of whom gave taped evidence against Pell on a video that was seen only by the jury during the trial. Under Australian law it's illegal to identify sex abuse victims or reveal information that could expose who they are.The first victim has declined to comment publicly but said in a statement released by his lawyer after the ruling that since the attack he had experienced "shame, loneliness (and) depression."He asked that he be left alone and given time to cope with the ongoing criminal process. "The process has been stressful and is not over yet," he said.The second victim died of a heroin overdose a few years ago.The deceased victim's father told CNN that his son had been an outgoing child who played sport and liked singing, a talent that earned him a scholarship to the prestigious boys' school and ultimately an invitation to sing in St. Patrick's Cathedral where the attack took place.Around one year after the assault, he said his son was kicked out of the choir, lost his scholarship and started injecting heroin."He was trying to mask something that had happened to him. He was trying to cover up something that had happened to him, so heinous and so horrible," said his father, who is considering filing a civil case against the church.Pell's supportersPell's defense team had submitted 10 references that attested to Pell's good character. They included one from former Prime Minister John Howard who wrote that Pell, his friend for approximately 30 years, was a person of "high intelligence and exemplary character."Howard said he was aware of Pell's conviction and pending appeal but that "none of these matters alter my opinion of the Cardinal."Several of Pell's other high-profile friends in Australia have leaped to his defense, questioning the jury's verdict and predicting the cardinal would be exonerated on appeal.The depiction of Pell as a man wronged has infuriated survivors of church sex abuse who say that casting victims as liars and priests as beyond reproach perpetuates a culture that allowed abuse to thrive within the Catholic Church for decades.Statistics released in 2017 by Australia's Royal Commission into Responses to Institutional Child Sex Abuse stated that 5097
