Golden’s newest food hall was no run-of-the-mill project.
The historic Golden Mill, which originally opened downtown in 1865, is in the process of being turned into a five-stall food hall through a $6 million project.
After two years in the works, Golden Mill Feed & Drink expects to open in March, according to Mark Shaker, who partnered with three couples to develop the project.
“We wanted this project to really embrace Golden and not just be a transplant from Denver,” Shaker said while looking out from the food hall’s second story earlier this month. “I mean, look at this location. We’re right on the water; there are foothills around you, and the scenic nature is just hard to beat.”
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women are not reporting family violence for fear of having children removed, according to new research.
The study, led by University of Melbourne Professor Marcia Langton, detailed the barriers faced by First Nations women when reporting violence, including the threat of homelessness and potential isolation from family and community.
The research was released on Tuesday by the Australian National Research Organisation on Women s Safety (ANROWS). We interviewed a number of women who were at risk of being homeless because there was simply no accommodation, Professor Langton said. Several women told us about their experience of being homeless and many women told us of their experience of losing their children and the fear of losing their children.
