Dear Amy: Have I been gaslighted? My mother was a difficult person. She was often not nice to my sister-in-law. I admired my SIL for taking the high road and for being respectful toward my mother, and I told her so many times. I bumped heads big time with my mother, too, but had a good last six years when she moved near me and dementia mellowed her out. My mother died five years ago and my sister-in-law reminds me often of how awful she was (my brother has no fond memories of childhood, and lets his wife do the talking). The last time my SIL brought this up, I stopped her and said that al ..read more

Fairview lacrosse’s first win over Monarch in three years was tailored in the narrative the Knights have been pushing for a while now. A young attacking core took another step forward in its growth process, a veteran defense remained strong, and Fairview coach Matthew Kelley’s team picked up a critical win for its postseason hopes, beating the Coyotes 13-8 on its home turf Wednesday night. “There’s still a lot of work to be done but moving in (the right) direction is exciting,” Kelley said. “It’s why we do this.” On paper, a third straight win on the season for the Knights (6-5, 3-2 5A League ..read more

WINNIPEG — The Colorado Avalanche desperately needed a save, and Alexandar Georgiev delivered the biggest one of his season to date. Colorado trailed 2-1 in Game 2 at Canada Life Centre. The Avs had just squandered a four-minute power play, missed on a Grade-A scoring chance and allowed the go-ahead goal on a fantastic one-handed tip-in by Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele. Given the way Game 1 had gone, it’s not that much of a stretch to say that Game 2 and clear control of the series hung breathlessly in the balance Tuesday night when Josh Manson and Jack Johnson had a miscommunication, an ..read more

Every game presents a challenge for the Rockies’ floundering offense. Wednesday night’s 5-2 loss to the Padres presented a unique puzzle the Rockies couldn’t solve. San Diego started knuckleball right-hander Matt Waldron, who had no problems making his pitch dance in the mile-high atmosphere at Coors Field. Over six innings, he gave up one run on four hits and struck out five in his first trip to LoDo. Waldron said the baseball behaved “weird.” “Definitely. I think my knuckleball wasn’t as affected, but I threw (some other pitches) that really just cut and did some weird things,” he said. “So ..read more

Michael Malone’s individual film reviews this week keep encountering a distraction at the end. His eyes wander from what’s transpiring on the court and focus instead on his team’s sideline, where the Nuggets are about to erupt into a celebration they’ll someday tell their grandchildren about. His objective, of course, is to leave Jamal Murray’s Game 2 buzzer-beater in the rearview mirror for the time being. Denver still needs to win twice more to eliminate the Lakers. But Malone is only human. “I go through the film probably five times. And every time I watch it, I get just as excited,” he sai ..read more

Paxton Lynch fit the offense like a fish on a bicycle. Let’s start there with why the Broncos enter Thursday’s NFL draft still searching for a franchise quarterback eight years after Peyton Manning retired. There have been 13 starters since Super Bowl 50, tied for second most behind the Cleveland Browns. Only two have produced a winning record: Trevor Siemien (13-11) and Brett Rypien (2-1). Lynch and Russell Wilson represent the franchise’s most dramatic failures, moves that shook the franchise to its roots because of the scramble for replacements and financial shrapnel left in their wake. Rou ..read more

The 15 high school students in “Los Coyotes,” an award-winning mariachi band from Uvalde, Texas, paired up with students playing the same instruments at Longmont’s Skyline High School on Wednesday. Clustered in groups on Skyline’s stage, the Texas students helped teach the Longmont students a musical piece, “Trenecito,” or “Little Train,” so they could play it together. As the students practiced, Uvalde director Albert Martinez bounced from the trumpets to the strings to the bass to the guitars and guitarron, a large bass guitar. He provided instruction, corrected missed notes and offered enco ..read more
