Dear Amy: My brother and I are both in our 70s. We’ve only spoken once in the last three years. We lived miles apart for much of our lives, but still kept in touch. After our father passed, our mother sold their home. My father had previously told my brother that when they sold the house, he wanted to give a certain amount of money to each of us. Our mother did not honor our father’s wishes, but did give us each a smaller amount. Years later she deposited a good sum of money into his account but asked him…

The weekend-long series of thunderstorms and snowstorms sweeping across Colorado reached its strongest intensity Saturday morning, according to the National Weather Service. Another one to three feet of snow is projected for Colorado’s mountains and higher elevation foothills Saturday, according to a NWS hazardous weather outlook. Idaho Springs and Juniper Pass near Mount Blue Sky could both see more than 35 inches of fresh snow stack up, according to NWS projected snow totals. Elsewhere in the mountains — including Rocky Mountain National Park and Berthoud Pass — snowfall projections between 20 and 25 inches were common. The heavy, wet spring…

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — A Game 4 doesn’t have near the buzz of a Game 7. That doesn’t matter to the defending NBA champion Nuggets, who spent Friday psyching themselves up for Saturday night’s Game 4 against the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena. If they win, the Nuggets will sweep the Lakers out of the playoffs on their home court for the second consecutive year and advance to the second round. Last year, Nikola Jokic scored 30 points, snared 14 rebounds and dished off 13 assists as the Nuggets advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in team history…

Almost anything in football can be viewed in relation to the quarterback. The premium positions beside the guy under center? Those who can protect him, impact him or make plays in the passing game for him. When you’ve got a rookie like the Broncos do after taking Oregon’s Bo Nix in the first round Thursday night, that emphasis only grows. “The (rookie quarterback) challenge is exciting, but it’s still, you want good quarterback play,” Denver head coach Sean Payton said Thursday night. “The two biggest allies to that, I believe strongly, are good defensive play and a running game. In…

For all the talk on what he is, or what he will be … let’s start with who Bo Nix isn’t. He’s not Russell Wilson. Thank goodness. “I know my role, OK?” David Morris, Bo Nix’s personal QB coach and founder of QB Country, told me with a chuckle. “And I’m not up there to try and tell Sean Payton how to coach quarterbacks. I’m here for Bo and when he needs advice in the offseason and (for) supplementary things I know. I know how lucky he is to be coached by him and by all those guys up there.”…

Jordan and Taryn Bennett took advantage of low mortgage rates during the pandemic to snag a condo in the Uptown neighborhood. But they need more space with a dog in residence and a child on the way. Interest rates, rather than helping them, are blocking them this time around. The young couple, both 30, are turning to a newer type of housing product known as “build-to-rent,” or BTR, for some flexibility  They zeroed in on an infill townhome community called Dominic Row in Denver’s popular Highlands neighborhood, before deciding to move into a rental home near Sloans Lake. “People like…

LOS ANGELES — They showered Darvin Ham with boos as the coach was introduced before opening tip. They bombarded him with more pointed chants before time expired in an otherwise lifeless building. “Fire Darvin!” But is this Ham’s fault? D’Angelo Russell’s? The bench’s? All of the above? The Nuggets have infiltrated Los Angeles and sown instability within an American institution. The Lakers’ superstar foundation is crumbling under the overwhelming pressure of Denver’s starting lineup, which is on the verge of securing a second playoff sweep of Los Angeles in as many seasons. “To beat a team like that in the…

Missy is the first female graduate to be extended such an honor.” Members of Franklin’s…

A new brewery with a familiar name is now open in Fort Collins. This week, Verboten Brewing and Barrel Project debuted its second location at 1611 S. College Ave., in the space formerly home to Black Bottle Brewery. It will host a grand opening the weekend of May 3, said co-owner Josh Grenz. Verboten took over Black Bottle’s lease in February and Grenz has since been working on a “cosmetic remodel” to update the bar tops, table tops and chairs. He downsized the draft system from 40 to 20 taps and added German-style picnic tables to the front patio. Verboten…
