By MORGAN LEE (Associated Press) SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A grand jury indicted Alec Baldwin on Friday on an involuntary manslaughter charge in a 2021 fatal shooting during a rehearsal on a movie set in New Mexico, reviving a dormant case against the actor.

They declined to answer questions after spending about a day and a half presenting their case to the grand jury. Defense attorneys for Baldwin indicated they’ll fight the charge.…

Native American tribes in eastern Washington will supply up to 15 wolves to Colorado next winter under an agreement announced Friday that marks a major step forward for the state’s reintroduction efforts.

Last month, CPW released the first 10 wolves, captured in neighboring Oregon, as part of a plan to reintroduce up to 50 of the apex predators to the state in coming years. “We are grateful to…

Dear Amy: I am a financially responsible and secure 24-year-old woman. A few months ago I discovered that I am pregnant. The father of my baby is my long-time boyfriend “Tony,” who I have been with exclusively for a couple of years. Well, Tony is now my ex-boyfriend, I guess. He became very upset when he learned about this unplanned pregnancy (I was upset, too), and told me he would not have anything to do with the baby, and said that he would demand a paternity test. My dilemma now has to do with his parents. They are nice people…

In “Truth Be Told,” by William Cameron, Kathleen (Karen Slack) is fighting for her son’s legacy. Or is she fighting against it? (Michael Ensminger, provided by Curious Theatre Company) It isn’t simply the reddish-brown wig that makes Karen Slack, a highly respected local actor, unrecognizable as one of the two mothers emotionally sparring in the world premiere of William Cameron’s “Truth Be Told,” directed by Christy Montour-Larson. (It runs at  the Curious Theatre Company through Feb. 10.) Instead, it is the unerring, even frightening, way in which Slack disappears into Kathleen Abedon’s prickly, pained skin. As the play opens, Kathleen…

Colorado was recently named one of the worst 10 states in the country at recycling in a national report from Colorado-based Ball Corporation. Recycling rates are estimated to be between 11-16% – less than half the national average. But what wasn’t reported is that Colorado is deep in the process of a major transformation of our recycling system that will move us from laggard to leader. Our recycling problem has been an issue for decades, and we’ve been working on long-term solutions. One of the most important is House Bill 1355, which in 2022 created a Producer Responsibility Program for…
