Local sandwich chain opens newest location in east Denver neighborhood

Parking just got a lot harder in a neighborhood strip mall at 14th Avenue and Krameria Street.Snarf’s Sandwiches, the much-loved 27-year-old local chain, opened its 25th location on Monday at 6245 E. 14th Ave. in Denver’s Montclair neighborhood.It’s just a few doors down from La Fillette, the popular former Hilltop bakery that moved and reopened as a restaurant in March — and immediately regained its avid following.Founded in Boulder in 1996, Snarf’s is known for its toasted subs and for finding locations in unusual buildings. In this case, company spokeswoman Helen Wood said, “We love old, unusual buildings. But, it’s very rare for one to become available in a spot that works for us. Fortunately, we’ve learned that we can be just as successful in other types of buildings … even strip malls.”But this particular strip mall, Mayfair Center, is actually a distinctive mid-century modern shopping complex with a 1950s aesthetic and an orange and g...19-year-old died in Colorado jail cell from fatal medication cocktail prescribed by medical staff, lawsuit says

Maxted LawOscar CanasA 19-year-old died in a Colorado jail cell after taking a “fatal drug cocktail” prescribed to him by medical staff a few months before he was scheduled to be released, according to a federal lawsuit filed in his death.Oscar Canas died on April 18, 2021, in the Garfield County jail while serving a one-year sentence for misdemeanor drug possession. He left behind a 2-year-old daughter and an 11-month-old son, according to the lawsuit filed last month against the county.The nurse practitioner working in the jail, Joanna Kluender, prescribed Canas the antipsychotic medication olanzapine two months into his incarceration for symptoms of the anxiety and insomnia he was experiencing during his jail stay. Seven months after he entered the jail, Kluender prescribed Canas with Suboxone — a medication used to treat opiate addiction.But Canas was not addicted to opioids, the lawsuit states. Canas told jail staff when he was admitted that he wanted treatmen...Walter Gerash, famed Denver criminal defense attorney, dies at 96

Walter Gerash, a larger-than-life defense lawyer who earned national headlines by taking on some of Colorado’s most notorious criminal cases in the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, died Sunday. He was 96.Gerash’s clients included the ex-cop accused of killing four Denver bank security guards in the infamous “Father’s Day Massacre,” a heavyweight boxer charged with murder, the singer John Denver in his Aspen DUI case, and a Littleton 19-year-old with multiple personality disorder who was accused of executing his parents.Known for a booming voice in the courtroom and for sometimes wearing a cape and a beret, Gerash believed the government needed to be challenged and that people’s civil rights deserved to be protected to the fullest extent, his son and several colleagues said Tuesday.“If he felt that someone’s rights were being violated by the government or the government was overreaching, Walter was the first one to step in and fight back on ...Here’s How to Get Presale Code Tickets to Becky G Mi Casa, Tu Casa Tour

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:00:41 GMT
SANTA CLARA — Only 20 months ago, Cameron Latu had yet to score a touchdown in his Alabama career. He was relatively new on the scene, at least as a tight end, having converted from outside linebacker after his freshman year.Then he scored two touchdowns in their 2021 season-opening win over Miami.“Before (the 2020) season, I said, ‘You know, I think you have a lot better shot to be a tight end. You got good hands, you got great size, you’re a good athlete.’ And he bought into it,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said after that win.The 49ers bought into it, too. They used a third-round pick (No. 101) to draft Latu, the ninth tight end selected.“He’s a versatile player in that he’s good in both the run and the pass,” general manager John Lynch said, “but he went to ‘Bama as a linebacker and I think he plays like that. He’s an aggressive player.”At least two 49ers won’t be strangers to Cameron Latu when he shows up for rookie minicamp this wee...With George Berkeley’s slave-owner past uncovered, will the city or university consider a name change?
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:00:41 GMT
The problematic pasts of historical figures have forced the renaming of hundreds of buildings and the removal of dozens of statues from public squares across the U.S. But what happens when the name of an entire community is tainted by racial injustice?It’s perhaps ironic that Berkeley is the latest place to face this question. The city’s reputation for anti-imperialism has only grown since becoming the nation’s first city to swap Columbus Day for “Indigenous Peoples Day” in 1992 and installing city-limit signs that declare “Welcome to the City of Berkeley — Ohlone Territory” in 2019. Last year, the City Council agreed to begin its meetings with a land acknowledgment, recognizing Berkeley as stolen land from its first inhabitants, the Ohlone people.But now, historians at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, have renewed scrutiny of records indicating that the city’s namesake — Bishop George Berkeley, an 18th-century Irish philosopher and influential schol...Northern California woman hid mother’s death for 10 years; mom’s skeletal remains found, police say

Authorities have found skeletal remains of a Ukiah woman whose death was concealed for as long as a decade by her now-deceased daughter in order to use the mother’s bank account, police said Monday.The matter, which Ukiah police are investigating as a suspicious death, was discovered April 24 in the 700 block of El Rio Street after police were contacted by the elder woman’s son, according to a news released issued by authorities.No names have been released and no arrests are expected to be made because the lone suspect is now dead, officials said.The man, who told police he lived out of state, said his mother lived with his sister in Ukiah. He returned to Ukiah last month because his 58-year-old sister was hospitalized and later died.He told police he last communicated with their mother before she died in August 2013.The sister claimed their mother’s remains were transported to a “medical research facility” as per her wishes and no alarms were raised because the mother had been in p...Annual inflation in U.S. cooled off slightly in April
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:00:41 GMT
Annual inflation continued its slow-but-steady deceleration in April, according to the latest Consumer Price Index released Wednesday.The CPI climbed by 4.9% for the 12 months ended in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, representing a slightly slower pace of increase than the 5% in March. It was below economists’ expectations for the number to remain unchanged.It’s the 10th consecutive month that the headline CPI rate has slowed, and it’s at its lowest rate since April 2021 — when this bout of painfully high inflation started to spike.Excluding food and energy costs, which tend to have more volatility, core CPI was unchanged at 5.5% for the 12 months ended in April.On a monthly basis, both the headline and core indexes recorded increases of 0.4%, matching forecasts from economists, some of whom anticipated higher fuel and used car prices to provide some upward pressure.April’s data showed that the biggest month-on-month gains seen in th...How psilocybin, the psychedelic in mushrooms, may rewire the brain to ease depression, anxiety and more
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:00:41 GMT
By Sandee LaMotte | CNNShrooms, Alice, tweezes, mushies, hongos, pizza toppings, magic mushrooms — everyday lingo for psychedelic mushrooms seems to grow with each generation. Yet leading mycologist Paul Stamets believes it’s time for fans of psilocybin mushrooms to leave such childish slang behind.“Let’s be adults about this. These are no longer ‘shrooms.’ These are no longer party drugs for young people,” Stamets told CNN. “Psilocybin mushrooms are nonaddictive, life-changing substances.”Small clinical trials have shown that one or two doses of psilocybin, given in a therapeutic setting, can make dramatic and long-lasting changes in people suffering from treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, which typically does not respond to traditional antidepressants.Based on this research, the US Food and Drug Administration has described psilocybin as a breakthrough medicine, “which is phenomenal,” Stamets said.Psilocybin, ...Editorial: The most important women’s rights law hardly anyone has heard of

It’s the most important women’s rights law that hardly anyone has ever heard of.The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women aims to end discrimination in employment, salary and equality within the law. Advocates have tried to pass “CEDAW” laws in the Bay Area, California and nationwide with only minimal success.The failure in the United States to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution is shameful. The country is one of only seven United Nations members that has not ratified the 1979 U.N. CEDAW treaty, joining the likes of repressive countries such as Iran, Somalia and Sudan. Senate Republicans have blocked the effort since Jimmy Carter was president.But locally, after a 24-year effort, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors last week voted unanimously to become only the fourth county in the state to adopt a full CEDAW ordinance, following San Francisco (1998), Los Angeles (2021) and San Diego (2022).
