Comment on Volcano Evacuees Unsure When They'll Return

What are the best wine totes? Something as fragile as a bottle of wine should not be carried in any old paper sack. Wine totes provide safe and convenient transport for your wine bottles while also keeping them at the desired temperature. When purchasing a wine tote, it is important to consider insulation, capacity and material.

Vote no on all ballot propositions on November 5. These initiatives illustrate the defects of direct democracy; they circumvent representative institutions, deny minority populations fair representation, and enable moneyed interests rather than the people’s representatives to steer the direction of our state. It isn’t that elected or appointed officials are better than voters at making decisions; it’s that the process of decision making through representative democracy is more deliberative and equitable than through direct democracy.

An armed man was shot and injured Sunday by a Weld County sheriff’s deputy near Greeley, according to investigators. Around 12:16 a.m. Sunday, deputies responded to a disturbance reported in the 200 block of 2nd Avenue Lane in unincorporated Weld County just east of Greeley, according to a news release from the 19th Judicial District Critical Response Team. When deputies arrived, they found an armed man who investigators say fired his gun while deputies were on scene.

A snowstorm expected to arrive in the mountains on Tuesday will move into the metro Wednesday morning, potentially showering Denver with its first snow of the season, according to the National Weather Service. NWS forecasters said any snow that falls in the Denver area this week isn’t likely to stick. Less than an inch of accumulation is expected. “Light snow will be possible along the Front Range and over the plains Wednesday morning,” NWS meteorologists said in a hazardous weather outlook. By the time the storm wraps up Wednesday night, mountain passes and higher-elevation areas in Colorado could see more than 2 feet of fresh snow, according to NWS forecasters.

Denver native Tony Garcia remembers filling up on enchiladas at Chubby’s when he was a college student in the early 1970s. “It was fast food — but it was good food,” he recalled of the original location of the legendary Mexican restaurant, 1231 W. 38th Ave., which still draws crowds hankering for burritos, hamburgers and French fries blanketed in spicy green chile. Just a few blocks away, Lechuga’s, 3609 Tejon St., has always been the spot for cannolis — not the sweet variety, but a more substantive sausage wrapped in puffy dough, Garcia said.

A clinic in Cherry Creek recently stopped allowing male patients to swab themselves for sexually transmitted infections, raising concerns that gay and bisexual men could forgo testing, even as rates of certain infections have jumped. Sean O’Connor, a patient who lives in Denver, said UCHealth’s Cherry Creek location was a particularly valuable resource, because it allowed people to have a “standing order,” meaning they didn’t need to see a doctor for a referral to test every time they had a possible exposure. The process was convenient, he said: Patients would receive one swab for the throat and one for the rectum, and could be done taking their own samples in minutes. With the rule change, patients who need that testing have to schedule an appointment with a provider who will swab them, which is both less convenient and more intrusive, O’Connor said. “They’re doing their best to get people in, they just don’t have the capacity,” he said. The machine that analyzes the swabs only allows self-swabbing of the vagina, and labs don’t have the option to ignore the manufacturer’s instructions, said Dan Weaver, spokesman for UCHealth. The manufacturer tests its machines under specific protocols, and the U.
