Opinion: Intimidation tactics from the judicial branch cannot stand

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:31:20 GMT

The Colorado Supreme Court’s Attorney Regulation Counsel — the government officials charged with investigating misconduct by lawyers and judges — threatened discipline recently against attorneys for their testimony to the Colorado General Assembly.I read with grave concern The Colorado Springs Gazette’s story explaining that members of the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline had received letters threatening discipline for their testimony.Unlike its usual role of looking into allegations such as sexual harassment, stealing clients’ money, driving while impaired or neglecting cases, this letter was about the attorney’s testimony presented before a joint House and Senate Judiciary Committee. The regulator disagreed with the factual statements made to the Committee, so she threatened their licenses to practice law.Such threats and intimidation strike at the heart of the legislative process — the necessity of elected representatives to both obtain pub...

Editorial: Colorado needs more school security and more gun control

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:31:20 GMT

We join the nation in praying for the swift and full recovery of two Denver East High School administrators who were shot Wednesday by a student during a pat-down search looking for weapons.The details of their medical risks are unknown, but, like most gunshot victims, Eric Sinclair and Jerald Mason, will have a hard road to recovery ahead. We know the staff at The Denver Post, the entire city, and much of the country are sending these two high school deans strength and love.The East High School community already lost 16-year-old Luis Garcia this month to gun violence. The soccer player and hard worker is missed by his family and friends, and many are rallying to protect others from the suffering inflicted by gun violence.We join these East High School community members in unequivocally supporting efforts at the Colorado Capitol to get better control on the deadly weapons flooding our community and often landing in the hands of young Coloradans ill-equipped in decision-making or gun...

Remembering Don Monette, founder of Flagstaff House and pioneer in Boulder restaurant scene

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:31:20 GMT

If there’s one thing to remember about the late Flagstaff House owner Don Monette it’s that he would do anything to make sure his customers had a special experience at his restaurant.On Mother’s Day weekend in 1971, not long after he bought the restaurant, rain washed away part of the old gravel road leading up to the top of Flagstaff Mountain, where Flagstaff House has sat since the 1920s, overlooking Boulder below. So Don and his sons, Scott and Mark, flagged down cars on their way up from the bottom and shuttled guests part way up in a van. At the washout, they laid down plywood for people to walk across and then greeted them with champagne and another van on the other side to take them the rest of the way up.“It was one of the busiest days of the year, and he wasn’t going to take no for an answer,” Scott said. “We saved Mother’s Day that year and continued to do that … when the road closed.”“Even if it only meant he would have 10 people dining there that night,...

Colorado gardening: Dividing perennials equals multiple plants

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:31:20 GMT

What’s the one spring garden chore that costs you nothing, and yet earns you free plants?If you answered dividing perennials, then give yourself a nice pat and keep moving. It’s go-time with your shovel.Some of the tools necessary to bring out when dividing perennials. (Betty Cahill, Special to The Denver Post)Simply said, dividing a plant into two or more vegetative pieces or clumps is the best way to stimulate new root growth for plants that are no longer growing and blooming with vigor like they previously have.Sometimes, plants poop out in the center (ornamental grasses, I’m talking to you). Plants can also crowd out surrounding plants or outgrow their zip code and spread to Kansas (culinary mint comes to mind).Try as we might when gardening, sometimes we plant perennials in a landscape location that just isn’t suited to the growing conditions they prefer. They might need more sun or shade or less root competition. Move the plants this spring where they’ll be happier; just follo...

Colorado’s next state park will attract a lot of attention; that could be a problem for neighbors

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:31:20 GMT

Eighteen months after the White River National Forest acquired a scenic and historic property 12 miles north of Glenwood Canyon at the doorstep of the remote Flat Tops Wilderness, officials are moving forward with plans to make it Colorado’s 43rd state park.The 488-acre Sweetwater Lake property encompasses Colorado’s third-largest natural lake, which is framed by limestone cliffs. It currently offers limited camping, hiking, horseback riding and fishing provided by a commercial outfitter which operated there for decades when the property was privately owned. But forest officials and Colorado Parks and Wildlife see it as a gem with untapped potential, saying their goal is to improve access and modernize antiquated facilities without altering the rustic character of the site.But before tapping that potential, they’ll have to repair the relationship with locals, who were blindsided in October 2021 when Gov. Jared Polis held a media event to announce that Sweetwater Lake would bec...

Editor’s note: This is part of The Know’s series, Staff Favorites. 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).Everyone falls in love with their first ski mountain, and mine was Steamboat Springs. In college, I went on a group trip there even though I didn’t know how to ski, just so I could get a free vacation. I envied my classmates who spent their time on blue runs, while I was stuck on the bunny hill, but at least the views on the greens were just as breathtaking.Steamboat is a true mountain town — not one where you blink and miss it — with culture, traditions, longtime residents and a strong food scene. One of my best friends has a mountain home there that I’ve visited over the past years, and my brother even lived there for a couple of years.And there’s one place we make sure to visit every time: Taco Cabo. Not only is it a ...
