Potential charges typically used for organized crime.  Before charges have even been announced, the possible indictment of former President Trump in Georgia — hinging on his efforts to overturn the state’s 2020 election results to remain in power — already has the makings of a watershed moment in U.S. history.Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) has signaled charges in her years-long investigation are imminent, setting the stage for the former president’s fourth indictment this year.

We’re ready to go.” A partial grand jury report released in February included charging recommendations, and an Ap...

Letters: Casa Bonita no longer family budget-friendly

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:10:29 GMT

Casa Bonita changes not so budget-friendlyRe: “Eatery defies norm, eliminates tipping,” June 28 news storyThe current rage over the newly remodeled Casa Bonita is quite interesting and comical. The new owners have put in place a very questionable “no tipping” policy and have increased the hourly wage of the workers to $30 an hour. The menu prices reflect this compensation.When our children were small, we would take them to Casa Bonita for fair food and corny entertainment. I hope this hype and price structure will be short-lived because, as it is now, a middle-income family will not be able to afford this type of pricing. As time goes on, the fad will wear off, and maybe Casa Bonita will evaluate their business structure.Michael Hult, Arvada Both sides celebrate successRe: “In Aldean’s Macon hometown, they’re trying everything,” Aug. 9 commentaryIn the commentary about Macon, Ga., the author illustrates a solution consisting of differing ways to c...

But what about drawing with metal wire or vinyl tape, laser-cut wood, wax, thread, computer cords or sand? It all works, and often engagingly, as three exhibits running concurrently at the Arvada Center galleries prove again and again.Taken in together — and they should be, before they close on Aug. 27 — the exhibits go a long way toward expanding how we think about the act of drawing, an art practice that goes back to the earliest humans, and which gets a refreshing update by the center’s curators.Like everything produced at the Arvada Center, the exhibits –“The Big Draw,” “Drawn from the Source” and a solo show by local artist Ramón Bonilla — are sprawling. The center has 10,000 square feet of gallery space and regularly produces jumbo-sized spectacles that can fill it.These shows have a whopping 79 artists between them, all from Colorado, who contr...
