Dear Amy: I’m a woman in my 70s. My (slightly older) partner “James” and I are both retired university professors who met after our respective spouses died. We’ve been together for almost seven years and have made each other happy, which is a great blessing. James has three children, the eldest of whom is a daughter. She has made it clear that she doesn’t like me in her dad’s life. She either ignores me completely when the entire family gets together, or she makes snarky and unkind remarks to me. At Thanksgiving at her house, she completely ignored both her…

When Mary Lou Retton finally spoke out on the “Today” show last week about being hospitalized for a month with a rare and potentially deadly form of pneumonia, she wasn’t really pressed to answer certain pertinent questions, reports show. Notably, co-host Hoda Kotb didn’t push Retton to adequately explain why she, a decorated Olympic gymnast who must have earned millions in endorsement deals over the years, didn’t have health insurance when she was hospitalized. Meanwhile, reports also say that Retton and her daughters have not responded to reporters’ questions about her income, which Texas hospital treated her and what happened…

If you’re a Colorado student seeking an affordable higher education, you might be eligible for free tuition at the following Colorado universities — depending on how much money your family makes.

More information about eligibility requirements can be found on the…

A former Colorado tenant has sued real estate giant Greystar — the nation’s largest apartment management company — over hidden charges and “junk fees” charged for items including pest control and valet trash service. Nichole Collins, a tenant until April in a Lakewood apartment complex called The Hamptons, filed the lawsuit in Denver District Court on Jan. 9.

MONTREAL — The shorthanded Colorado Avalanche lacked some of the juice it had during an incredible comeback two nights prior, and the game-winning goal Monday night served as a symbolic illustration. Joel Armia scored with 4:10 remaining in the third period to help the Montreal Canadiens defeat the Avs, 4-3, at Bell Centre. All five Colorado skaters were near their goaltender, but Armia was the only one who found the loose puck and was able to poke it past Alexandar Georgiev on a diving attempt. “There’s not much not to like in the final 40 minutes from our team,” Avs…

DES MOINES, Iowa — Former President Donald Trump scored a record-setting win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday with his rivals languishing far behind, a victory that affirmed his grip on the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. In what was the lowest-turnout caucus in a quarter-century, participants endured life-threatening cold and dangerous driving conditions to meet in hundreds of schools, churches and community centers across the state. But those who ventured out delivered a roughly 30-point win for Trump that smashed the record for a contested Iowa Republican caucus with a margin of victory exceeding Bob Dole’s nearly 13-percentage-point victory in…
