Exhibition at Museo de las Americas offers emotional tour of present-day Colombia The best art exhibitions are sometimes the most difficult to consume. That is surely the case with “Colombia: The Corn, the River, and the Grave,” the raw and ambitious offering currently at Denver’s Museo de las Americas.The group show, featuring 15 contemporary Colombian artists, is a difficult plunge into the trauma inflicted upon the country due to its horrendous, five-decade-long civil war, which technically ended with a peace agreement in 2016 but remains unsettled in large regions. It is also the most riveting exhibition I’ve seen this year in Colorado, in terms of the individual objects hung on the wall.Erika Diettes submerges in water the clothing of people who disappeared during the Colombian Civil War then photographs the scene from above. The pieces are about how we hold onto memories of people who have left our lives.

Alameda County DA Pamela Price casts criticism as ‘backlash’

Alameda County DA Pamela Price casts criticism as ‘backlash’ OAKLAND — At a rally Sunday outside the Alameda County Superior Court, multiple speakers offered support for Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, pushing back against what they described as unfair, slanted narratives about her four-month tenure as the county’s top law enforcement officer.Behind an array of dozens of residents wearing shirts with names of victims of crime on a day marking the start of this year’s National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, a lineup of supporters spoke plainly about their belief in her efforts, her office’s accomplishments and the forces they see arrayed against her and themselves.After gospel songs by Starlight Spiritual Temple’s Bishop L.E. Franklin and prayers by Oscar Grant’s mother Rev. Wanda Johnson opened the rally, civil rights activist and attorney Walter Riley led a moment of silence for “all the victims, in whatever capacity they became victims” before praising Price’s rise from...

How dangerous is fentanyl exposure to first responders, if at all?

How dangerous is fentanyl exposure to first responders, if at all? BILLERICA — Doubt has been cast on the Billerica Police Department’s recent report to the community that an officer lost consciousness and was hospitalized due to her exposure to fentanyl during an arrest.Police Chief Roy Frost claims the officer may have unintentionally inhaled the potent opioid when a bag containing the drug was torn open inside a suspect’s vehicle, causing the substance to become airborne within the tight space.“We are grateful that our officer is expected to make a full recovery, but alarmed that such a small amount of fentanyl caused an officer to lose consciousness,” Frost stated in a press release issued by the department on Thursday.Though there’s little doubt that illicit fentanyl sold on the street is dangerous when consumed, medical research has shown that experiencing an adverse medical reaction to fentanyl due to a brief exposure to the drug is highly unlikely.The facts of fentanylThe National Institutes of Health states fentanyl, a synthetic opioid use...

Chico State professor and his estranged wife each testify as university pushes for restraining order

Chico State professor and his estranged wife each testify as university pushes for restraining order CHICO — In dramatic court testimony Friday, the estranged wife of suspended Chico State professor David Stachura detailed how he told her he bought guns and ammunition in 2020 with the intention of killing two colleagues and revealed he also told her he’d seen one of them riding a bike and said he wanted to run her down.Often sobbing on the stand, Miranda King said Stachura broke down after a marital counseling session and told her that guns and ammunition he bought in March 2020 were not, as he has claimed, purchased because he was concerned about home protection as the COVID-19 pandemic worsened. “He sat across from me and looked me in the eye and said ‘I didn’t buy the weapons for home protection.’”David Stachura As she testified, Stachura sat next to his lawyer, glaring at King, sometimes shaking his head. The couple is in the midst of a contentious divorce and child custody battle.Stachura has said he only dreamed of the killings, saying they were part of a nightmare he ha...
