A Chicago man faces four felony drug charges after Eagle County deputies discovered more than 23 pounds of cocaine in his car during a routine traffic stop.Just after 8 p.m. last Wednesday, deputies pulled over 24-year-old Angel Gabriel Valadez of Chicago on Interstate 70 near Gypsum — about 25 miles east of Glenwood Springs — according to a news release from the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office.Once Valadez pulled over, a deputy made contact and noted “several indicators of further criminal activity.” The sheriff’s department did not elaborate on what the indicators were. After a drug-sniffing police dog alerted his partners,…

By Melissa Clark, The New York TimesTinned fish in pasta can be shy. Anchovies, for example, are often dissolved in oil for a midnight pasta, camouflaged under the olives of a puttanesca or hidden among garlicky breadcrumbs. Their deep umami quietly integrates the other ingredients without imposing much substance of their own. Small children and the fish-finicky are never the wiser.Pasta with tuna, on the other hand, is fish forward. Mixed in at the end of cooking (tuna can toughen if heated too much), the chunks keep a high profile, asserting their oceanic brightness and adding protein and heft.Tuna pasta…

German Marquez’s comeback was short-lived — at least for now.After making his first start of the season on July 14 in New York in his return from Tommy John surgery, the Rockies placed the right-hander on the 15-day injured list on Monday with right elbow inflammation.Marquez, who broke the Rockies’ career strikeout record in his 2024 debut, didn’t feel right after that start despite a week off because of the All-Star break.“When we came back from the break and got together on (July 18) for our workout, through that Friday and Saturday, German’s arm just didn’t bounce back from the…

The best real estate decision that Ed Haselden said he ever made didn’t bring him riches.He and his partners made no profit when, in late 2021, they sold the Rev360 office building they’d developed in RiNo. But it could have been worse.“It would have cost us all a lot of money if we hadn’t bit the bullet,” he said last week.The five-story, 170,000-square-foot building at 3600 Brighton Blvd. had no tenants when Haselden and his partners sold it to San Francisco-based Shorenstein Properties. And it still has none today.This July marks four years since Rev360 was completed. No one has ever moved…

Trevor Story is still waiting to show the Red Sox who he really is.The former Rockies All-Star and Silver Slugger made his first trip back to Coors Field on Monday since he signed a six-year, $140 million contract with Boston ahead of the 2022 season.In the time since that mega-deal, Story’s been injury-riddled: He played only 94 games in 2022 due to hand and foot issues. Then, Tommy John surgery limited him to 43 games last year. And this season, another blow: Left shoulder surgery after Story hurt himself diving for a ball in the eighth game of the season.“There’s…

Thomas Williams’ story got more screen time at Coors Field than Trevor Story. How crazy is that?“I did?” Thomas asked with a grin after throwing out the first pitch for Rockies-Red Sox on Monday at Coors Field, the night Story, the former Colorado All-Star, returned to 20th and Blake. “That’s awesome. That’s so funny. I didn’t expect it at all. I miss him. I hope he gets better.”For Williams, each day is better than the last. A chain of blessings that runs across three time zones, 25 years and two hearts.The one bouncing between his throat and his chest Monday…

The Arvada Center’s “Informed Space” is the surprise art exhibition of the summer. And the most rousing.The sprawling spectacle, featuring 30 Colorado sculptors, each with a mind and style of their own, is regional art at its best. The work is elevated but unpretentious, polished yet handmade; caring and daring at the same time.Artists were given a four-square-foot area to show their sculptures.The blue wire in the center is by Deborah Jang. The red and black sculpture was made by Jerry Wingren. (Wes Magyar / Provided by Arvada Center)Each of these artists faced a challenge from the center’s curatorial team:…

No city or town in Colorado is allowed to prohibit natural medicine healing centers from opening and offering supervised consumption of mushrooms and other psychedelics to adults — that much was plain in an initiative passed by the state’s voters two years ago.But local governments have enough tools in their regulatory toolbox to make the process of establishing such facilities nothing short of a bad trip, as recent rule-making in Parker, and discussions to do the same in Castle Rock, have shown.Using time, place and manner powers, municipalities can curtail hours of operation and limit the locations of healing centers…
