  By Ray Mark Rinaldi, Special to The Denver Post
  Colorado has two distinct camps of artists — and they are worlds apart.
  There’s the representational crowd, painters and sculptors who are the heirs to the great Western painters past, and who make art that’s easy to look at and put it on display at high-priced places like Gallery 1261, Evergreen Fine Art and the annual events associated with Denver’s Stock Show.
  Then there’s the contemporary group, the adventurous abs

  Bob Fuchigami spent three years of his boyhood detained at a Japanese-American internment camp in Colorado. Now 86, the U.S. Navy veteran says he fears what might happen if president-elect Donald Trump listens to one of his advisers and creates a registry for immigrants primarily from Muslim countries.
  “If something happens like 9/11, what are they going to do? Take all the Muslims and put them into camps like we were put into concentration camps?” said Fuchigami, who recalls the inf

  By Philip Reed, NerdWallet
  You’re walking around the car lot, zeroing in on a model you like, when you notice a “No-Haggle” sign next to the price tag. Initially, you feel a wave of relief because you hate to negotiate. But then you remember the old saw: “Never pay retail.”

• Sales of TV antennas on the rise, here’s how to buy one

  27-11-2016 08:01
  
  About 10 times a month, Anthony Leyba climbs up on top of a stranger’s roof or attic to install a TV antenna. That’s about twice as often as he did three years ago, when business picked up again after the U.S. transitioned to digital TV in 2009.
