Two new residents have docked at the twelve-story luxury Lakehouse condo building across the street from Sloan’s Lake. Chef Lon Symensma and Christopher Davis-Massey are finally debuting their two highly anticipated restaurants: Gusto, opening March 22, and ChoLon Modern Asian’s third location, opening March 27, on the ground floor of Lakehouse at 4200 W. 17th Ave. The co-owners of YumCha, ChoLon and Bistro LeRoux have been dreaming up this next-door-duo for the last three years. ChoLon Sloan’s Lake will share the same signature dishes that the restaurant is known and loved for, including French onion soup dumplings with gruyere cheese…

Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney’s Office say this photo shows Patrick Montgomery holding the mountain lion he killed on March 31. Montgomery had been released pending charges for his involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol but because the hunt violated the terms of his release, he was placed on 24/7 house arrest. (Photo provided by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.) A Littleton man who wrestled and kicked a police officer before entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was found guilty of two felony charges Wednesday. Patrick Montgomery, a 51-year-old hunting guide from Littleton, was convicted of…

By PETER SMITH and TIFFANY STANLEY (Associated Press) Since the start of his political career, Donald Trump has played on stereotypes about Jews and politics. He told the Republican Jewish Coalition in 2015 that “you want to control your politicians” and suggested the audience used money to exert control. In the White House, he said Jews who vote for Democrats are “very disloyal to Israel.” Two years ago, the former president hosted two dinner guests at his Florida residence who were known to make virulent antisemitic comments. And this week, Trump charged that Jewish Democrats were being disloyal to their…

Man, so many Ghostbusters to call. In theaters this week, “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” is the follow-up to the largely enjoyable 2021 adventure “Ghostbusters: Afterlife.” The latter, which saw Jason Reitman — son of Ivan Reitman, director of 1984’s original “Ghostbusters” and its 1989 sequel, “Ghostbusters II” — at the helm, introduced a new generation of brave spirit-catching souls while also bringing back key legacy characters. Well, the “Ghostbusters” franchise obviously isn’t ready to let go of the past. “Frozen Empire” — co-written, like its predecessor, by Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan, who takes over directing duties this time — is…

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE, LINDSAY WHITEHURST and MIKE BALSAMO (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Thursday announced a sweeping antitrust lawsuit against Apple, accusing the tech giant of engineering an illegal monopoly in smartphones that boxes out competitors and stifles innovation. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New Jersey, alleges that Apple has monopoly power in the smartphone market and uses its control over the iPhone to “engage in a broad, sustained, and illegal course of conduct.” The lawsuit — which was also filed with 16 state attorneys general — is the latest example of the Justice…

A 67-year-old man accused of stealing sections of the Martin Luther King Jr. “I Have a Dream” memorial in Denver’s City Park has been arrested, according to city jail records. Herman Duran was arrested on suspicion of theft and criminal mischief on March 10 and is in custody at the Downtown Detention Center on a $5,000 bail, according to the city’s jail log. Duran was identified as a suspect after three bronze pieces of the memorial were stolen on Feb. 18. A second suspect in the case, 47-year-old Robert Duran, was also wanted in the case but turned himself into…

This weekend, Mountain Pride will be bringing the rainbow to the slopes as it celebrates its first Queer Ski Weekend at Vail Mountain. “I’m particularly thrilled about the opportunity for fellow community members to connect with the queer community on the slopes,” said Madison Partridge, the executive director of Mountain Pride. “This event offers a chance to celebrate our community, engage in outdoor activities, and forge meaningful friendships.” Mountain Pride is a nonprofit organization working to bring advocacy, organization and support for LGBTQ+ communities across the Western Slope. While other mountains across Colorado have hosted queer ski days and events…

BOULDER — Amid last year’s nosedive to 4-8 that saw the CU Buffs go winless over the last six weeks of the season, Deion Sanders called out his struggling offensive line and vowed to rebuild it this offseason. Coach Prime did just that, dipping into the transfer portal and the high school ranks to re-fortify a leaky front that allowed his son and starting quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, to get sacked 52 times. The toll of all of those hits? A fractured back that left the younger Sanders unable to play the final six quarters of the season. “You know you’ve…

The Nuggets’ and the Avalanche’s regular seasons are winding down. The Rockies’ 2024 campaign is set to start. And the Broncos are in full rebuild mode with the offseason underway. So, which of Colorado’s “Big Four” pro teams has the best odds at bringing Denver another championship? Here’s a look at what sportsbooks have to say. The Nuggets have +325 odds — meaning a $100 bet would win $325 — to repeat as NBA champions, according to BetMGM. They have the second-best odds, behind the Celtics (+225), the team with the league’s best record, according to the oddsmaker. Denver also…

Sean Behrens has something in common with the NHL team that drafted him: He’s been to the mountaintop at his level recently and desperately wants to do it again. Behrens is a junior defenseman for the University of Denver, and he’s a Colorado Avalanche draft pick. When the next stage of his hockey career begins will be a focal point of his life, but right now it might as well be a million miles away. “I’ve been trying to stay away from it as much as I can,” Behrens said of his future. “It’s tough because there’s people asking me…
