PAINTING A MURAL: With a mural now officially underway, the Connect Trail West Main underpass is on its way to completion. The City of Montrose celebrated Labor Day by inviting the community to participate in a paint session under the direction of lead artist Heather Bischoff. The scene being painted beneath the West Main bridge, titled "Go With the Flow," honors the Uncompahgre River, with themes of recreation, native fish and natural landscape. The theme was chosen earlier this year through an online poll. THURSDAY THROWBACK: In 2006, the Montrose Daily Press spoke with Vivian Lloyd about the death by suicide of her son, Jason, and how she deals with the grief. Many of us have known or heard of someone who has committed suicide whether it was a family member, a friend, a coworker or a neighbor. The news is always hard to hear and can leave us wondering if we could have said or done something to change the outcome. If you or someone you know needs support, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. PSYCH: High school fall football is back — just kidding. After conversations earlier this week raised hopes among local teams that football would return this fall, the CHSAA board unanimously agreed to delay the season, along with other contact sports, until the spring. Local coaches are sharing their thoughts on the roller coaster of this week's hopes and disappointments. ARE YOU ONE OF THE FANS?: A limited number of Denver Broncos fans will be cheering their team on from Empower Field at Mile High as they face Tampa Bay on Sept. 27. Are you one of those loyal fans who will be in the stands? If so, we want to talk with you about the experience. Contact us at editor@montrosepress.com.
