This critical companionship, as well as a focus on fun and family, felt like an excellent reason to connect with MH...

Letters: At this point Justice Clarence Thomas’ lack of ethics is a trend

Not surprised by Justice Thomas’ actionsRe: “Thomas defends against allegations of improper gifts,” April 8 news storyWhy is anyone surprised by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s lack of ethics in accepting extravagant vacations from his “dear (billionaire) friend” Harlan Crow?Thomas’ ethical failures were readily apparent as recently as last year when he refused to recuse himself from cases arising out of the January 6 attack on the Capitol, which cases involved the eventual release of emails and texts written by his own wife, Ginni Thomas!Indeed, we should not be surprised by the ethical failings of other justices, either – such as Trump-appointed conservatives who openly lied during their confirmation hearings about respecting and upholding Supreme Court precedents and then voted to overturn the 50-year-old federal protections guaranteed by Roe v. Wade.It is obvious the Supreme Court’s declining reputation will continue to erode until its members are subje...

In Denver, you can find yoga classes with beer or cats or sushi or … much more

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:26:44 GMT

Going to a yoga class with just a bunch of other people is no longer enough. Local businesses have been getting creative; now it’s hard to think of what you can’t do yoga with in and around Denver.For the purists, things like goats and butterflies can be too much of a distraction during a yoga class. It is a very different experience to be using all five senses during yoga rather than just focusing on breathing in and out with some movement. Yet these classes can be fun for families or as a way to liven up your yoga routine.Yoga classes with plants, animals and adult beverages have the same basic rules: Dress in comfortable and flexible clothing, and bring your own mat and a water bottle. Advanced registration is required for all of these specialty classes, which usually last one hour.Here is some of what’s available for yoga fun around Denver.Yoga with beerIt’s Colorado, so there are multiple choices for “yoga and brews” (and some even include goats or tacos or some other att...

Which is to say, its image is too good.The nation’s top-selling “craft” beer brand is widely known, and because of that, drinkers also associate it with its flagship beer, Blue Moon Belgian White, a cloudy, lower-ABV beer with sweeter notes of citrus fruit and coriander – and usually served with a slice of orange.Related ArticlesBeer | Mountain town brewery to close this summer, but its famous fish and chips are already gone Beer | El Rancho’s brewery, Pygmy Stallion, is now pouring house-brewed beer Beer | Denver brewery closing just seven months after opening in Curtis Park Beer | Sandlot Brewery at Coors Field hires first female brewer in 28-year history Beer | Four more Front Range breweries closing their doors But at the Molson Coors-owned brand’s restaurant and taproom in the River North Art District in Denver, Blue Moon’s brewers make a lot of...

How Lauren Boebert’s visit to a rural Colorado school started a small revolt against the district

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:26:44 GMT

Disagreement seemed inevitable, as U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert is a polarizing figure.But Dolores School District Superintendent Reece Blincoe didn’t think the issue would linger for as long as it has or turn quite as sour for his small community in rural, southwest Colorado.Blincoe, a principal and other officials have been under fire for weeks from a group of parents angry and concerned that the district invited Boebert to speak to several hundred students at Dolores Middle & High School last month for a civics discussion that turned somewhat political.Parents within the district say they were blocked from attending or watching the congresswoman’s address to the students when they voiced concern ahead of time. And they’re worried about the message that hosting Boebert sends to the students.The nearby Durango Herald even penned an editorial criticizing the congresswoman for wading into politics in her March 15 speech to students.Boebert has a history of espousing anti-LGBTQ views....

New book tells the story of crusading Denver D.A. who took on the KKK

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:26:44 GMT

“Gangbuster,” by Alan Prendergast. (Citadel Press)It’s hard to believe that in the 1920s, Denver was one of the country’s biggest crime centers. Under the heavy hand of a mug named Lou Blonger, dozens of grifters operated freely, fleecing dupes in intricate schemes. (Think “The Sting” without Robert Redford and Paul Newman.)The city was so corrupt that when newly elected District Attorney Phil Van Cise took office, he didn’t tell public officials or the police department about his plan to clean up Denver. Instead, he enlisted the help of Denver’s prominent businessmen to pay for his crusade and hired outsiders to infiltrate gangs and arrest the conmen. He even used a church basement as a lock-up, fearing guards at the local jail would be bribed to release prisoners. Van Cise’s “sting” was intricate enough — and funny enough — to be its own movie.“Gangbuster” is a two-part story. First, Van Cise successfully cleaned up Denver’s vice. Next, he took on the Ku Klux Kla...
