Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems). When I saw the mountaineering backpack that had been my adventure companion for more than 30 years needed some repair — if it could be repaired, that is — my heart sank. That classic blue and red Lowe Alpine pack was filled to overflowing with memories of moonlit high-altitude bivouacs, magical backcountry hut ski trips, and more than two…

NEW YORK — Kia is recalling more than 427,000 of its Telluride SUVs due to a defect that may cause the cars to roll away while they’re parked. According to documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the intermediate shaft and right front driveshaft of certain 2020-2024 Tellurides may not be fully engaged. Over time, this can lead to “unintended vehicle movement” while the cars are in park — increasing potential crash risks. Kia America decided to recall all 2020-2023 model year and select 2024 model year Tellurides earlier this month, NHTSA documents show. At the time, no…

By WYATTE GRANTHAM-PHILIPS (AP Business Reporter) NEW YORK — The theft of sensitive information belonging to millions of AT&T’s current and former customers has been recently discovered online, the telecommunications giant said this weekend. In a Saturday announcement addressing the data breach, AT&T said that a dataset found on the “dark web” contains information including some Social Security numbers and passcodes for about 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders. Whether the data “originated from AT&T or one of its vendors” is still unknown, the Dallas-based company noted — adding that it had launched an investigation…

PHOENIX — The Rockies’ growing pains are going to hurt. What was already suspected became evident in the season’s first series, which saw the Rockies lose three of four games to the Diamondbacks at Chase Field, getting outscored 32-14. Colorado’s 5-1 loss on Sunday stung because the outcome could have been different, except that the Rockies played poor defense and squandered a prime chance to score runs. “It was very, very uncharacteristic for a team that prides itself on defense,” manager Bud Black said. Once again, a D-backs starter outpitched their Rockies counterpart. Right-hander Brandon Pfaadt confounded the Rockies early,…

Less than three months from his ninth “birthday” of sobriety, someone close to me died of alcoholism. After years of working his own program and helping others manage their way through a 12-step program — including counseling people from teenagers to hardened prisoners — he dropped dead as he was closing in on being an “old-timer” in Alcoholics Anonymous. No, he didn’t fall off the wagon during those eight years, nine months and seven days. But his doctor was adamant that alcohol killed him. In The Denver Post series “Colorado’s Quiet Killer,” about the rise in alcohol consumption in Colorado…
