Barry Morphew was charged this week for a second time in the death of his wife Suzanne, five years after she vanished from her home in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains and more than three years after the original criminal case against him collapsed.

Hello, fantastic people. I’ll soon be passing this beautiful rag on to a new editor, whom you will very much love. I want to thank you for letting me be a part of your community for two and a half years. I came in here wide-eyed, bushy-tailed — and purely petrified like a panic-stricken wildewoman huffing white out and talking to herself.

Kendrick Lamar’s boot-cut flares. Platform sneakers like the Spice Girls. Low-rise, bedazzled-bum jeans, a la Britney. Y2K aesthetic. The children are dipping into trends that we already cringed at 25 years ago. But I guess it’s kind of fun to watch trends return, now that I’m older. My kid wears a fanny pack and cargo jeans so baggy the ultra-wide leg openings can fit a Kendrick, all five Spices and a Britney. No matter what we hate the most, it’s bound to come roaring back, like the eye of the Tiger.
FBI director’s post labeling Pearl Street Mall attack as terrorism surprised Boulder police, chief says

3 weeks ago | coloradohometownweekly.com | Nicky Andrews

Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn had reason to believe a Sunday afternoon attack on the Pearl Street Mall was terror. At 1:26 p.m., a man had thrown Molotov cocktails at a group walking to raise awareness of Israeli hostages being held by the terrorist group Hamas. So while he was driving over, he called the FBI’s Denver field office to tell agents about the attack. “We had a very good idea this was terrorism.

From the editor: Like a lush garden, we can thrive

I, by no means, am any kind of gardener. In fact (keep your giggles to yourself, please and thanks), I mowed a lawn for the first time in my life earlier this month. To be fair, I’m allergic to (everything in the universe, no joke) cut grass, which is also an asthma trigger for me. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a staff of pals, and mainly my poor mother, to help me mow. This year, I decided to take charge. Well, I had to. My mommy was in a car accident and broke her sternum.

From the editor: We get by with a little help from our friends

1 month ago | coloradohometownweekly.com | Christy Fantz

I’m quite stubborn — aside from emailing Oprah in the 2010s and begging her to buy me a new car — I rarely ask for help. (Oprah never wrote back.)But I’ve recently received help from a couple of nonprofits. After single-momming, Colorado inflation and a stagnant salary caught up to me, this aid was welcomed with open arms. Open, sobbing arms that likely terrified a few of the workers. (“Come hug me!” I wailed.)After applying, I readily qualified for my home to be weatherized.
