Starbucks locations in Colorado are going BYOC – as in “bring your own cup.”The coffee company is currently running a pilot program at 192 locations in the Centennial State where customers can bring their own personal cups that baristas will use to fill their orders.Historically, Starbucks has allowed customers to bring reusable cups with the company’s branding to be filled, but during this test period, it will allow any cup or mug. All you have to do is tell your barista at the counter or in the drive-thru that you brought your own and you save 10 cents on your order.

DENVER — A man who called the office of Colorado’s top elections official to say that the “angel of death was coming for her in the name of Jesus Christ” was sentenced to two years of probation Monday.Kirk Wertz, 52, was convicted last week of one count of retaliating against an elected official, a felony, for the June 30, 2022, call to the office of Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold.When a state trooper called Wertz back, he refused to answer whether he planned to harm Griswold, citing the First Amendment, and said, “And I’m an Oath Taker and an Oath Keeper and I owe you no explanation,” according to a court document.During his sentencing hearing, Wertz denied being a member of the Oath Keepers, a far-right extremist group, calling it a “gross accusation” and calling his prosecution “malicious.” He said being an “Oath Taker” was a reference to him registering for possible military service when he turned 18 and the “Oath Keeper” was a reference to keeping an unspecifie...

Avalanche Journal: How far can Colorado go without Gabriel Landeskog in Stanley Cup Playoffs?

Published Wed, 27 Nov 2024 13:56:31 GMT

Gabriel Landeskog’s right knee remains a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes, but you’ll have to wait until next season to find out if he cracks the case.The Avalanche captain has officially called it quits for his 2022-23 season that never was, ruling himself out for the Stanley Cup Playoffs while he tries to figure out how to cure the cartilage injury under his patella. Landeskog is still consulting medical experts about next steps to take this offseason, and a fourth surgery since 2020 is an option.Sure sounds like a plight that will bedevil Landeskog and the Avalanche at least into next season, if not longer. Considering the salary cap implications of his $7 million absence, the Avs probably want a quicker resolution about the captain’s 2023-24 fate.“Leading into the draft and free agency, ” general manager Chris MacFarland said, “that will certainly have to be part of our equation, is his situation.”But as for the more immediate obstacle,...
