Go Nuggets! (from a Lakers fan)As a lifelong Lakers fan, I sincerely congratulate the Nuggets for making their first appearance in the NBA Finals. As much as I was hoping for another chapter in the Lakers-Celtics rivalry, it is great to see a team with such a great fan base as Denver reach the finals. Enjoy the ride! I will be pulling for you against the dreaded Eastern Conference champion.Steven Fountain, Kyle, TexasNo need to study; we know how to conserve waterRegarding the legislature’s plan for “further study” of Colorado’s water problems, who is surprised at yet another kick the can down the road approach to this critical topic?

Businesses, public spaces, and residential customers are watering their green spaces. The sad part is that they are...

Dr. Eric Shaw felt huge relief when he finally found a drug that stopped the allergic reaction that made it hard for him to swallow — and a significant blow when he learned his insurance company might not cover it.Shaw, a pediatrician in Littleton, has dealt with insurance denials when trying to get drugs approved for his patients, but said Excellus BlueCross BlueShield’s delay in paying for his own treatment for eosinophilic esophagitis used a new tactic. The company refused to pay unless he got an endoscopy procedure examining his esophagus to check for a placebo effect, which is essentially unheard of, he said.The medication, called Dupixent, costs about $52,000 a year, and also has helped with his asthma, Shaw said.“My worry is this is just a means to deny me the medication,” he said. “To feel this helpless as a patient, even knowing how to navigate the system, has been a gut punch.”State and federal law gives insurance companies latitude to a...

Who has the time, or funding, for hands-on electives when there are standardized tests to prep for?The consequence?“We have this whole generation of kids paying for services they could be doing themselves,” said Alice Sampson, a recently retired educator and the owner of Kids’ Carpentry Colorado, which offers youth woodworking classes at 3735 ...
