Video: Bakerstone Turns Backyard Into A Pizzeria

By PAUL NEWBERRY NANTERRE, France (AP) — Turns out, those comparisons to Michael Phelps weren’t farfetched at all when it comes to Léon Marchand. They certainly weren’t a burden for the 22-year-old Frenchman. Marchand completed one of the most audacious doubles in swimming history Wednesday night, winning the 200-meter butterfly and the 200 breaststroke about two hours apart in front a home crowd cheering his every stroke. Two grueling races.

What do you think is the ceiling for Courtland Sutton this year? He’s a highlight reel with moments of brilliance, but he’s never put up consistent enough numbers in his career so far — probably due to the lack of a consistent quarterback.

Professional women’s rugby is coming to Denver. The Mile High City on Wednesday was named one of three markets that will host a team for Women’s Elite Rugby’s (WER) inaugural season next year. Boston and Chicago were the other two cities announced. In April, the WER announced it was aiming to launch a six- to eight-team league, each with a 30-player roster, for the 2025 season.

A trial is set to begin Wednesday for former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, a hero to election conspiracy theorists who is accused of orchestrating a breach of election security equipment. The case against Peters centers around accusations that in May 2021 she allowed a man using someone else’s security badge to make a copy of the Dominion Voting Systems computer’s hard drive while she and an aide watched after turning off surveillance video. Colorado state election officials became aware of the Mesa County security breach a few months later when a photo and video of confidential voting system passwords were posted on social media and a conservative website after Peters joined Lindell onstage at a “cybersymposium” and promised to reveal proof of election rigging. Peters, who pleaded not guilty to the charges, argued she had a duty to preserve the results of the election before the voting system was upgraded and that she should not be prosecuted for carrying out her job. The hard drive copied included proprietary software developed by Dominion Voting Systems that is used by election offices around the country.

A Pueblo man died Tuesday after engaging in a shootout with police while barricaded inside a residence. Around 1:16 p.m., police received calls about a man in the 2100 block of Aztec Drive firing what was described as an assault-style rifle, authorities said in a news release. Officers attempted to communicate with the individual, who was not named.

By the time she took the dais at the Arapaho Charter High School graduation this spring, Principal Katie Law was beyond tired. She’d spent the last two days coaching students at the state track meet, and they made the drive back to Wyoming’s Wind River Indian Reservation just in time for the ceremony. Maybe it was the fatigue of the trip.
