In-home caregivers can receive more support now: tax-exempt status as a 501-3c. The status underscores the foundations' credibility and ability to raise funds.
CSF provides support for individuals who act as caregivers for their loved ones suffering from brain failure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. The foundation was founded by Laird Landon and Glen Hinshaw (pictured above).

Hinshaw sadly passed a few weeks ago from Dementia, but not before helping establish the nonprofit.

Hinshaw's and Landon's story is inspiring and hopeful, I recommend reading the full story here! You can donate to the foundation on their website.

You can also donate to the event at the charity's GoFundMe. You can check out the event on Facebook here.

Montrose's Hutto makes history | From the Newsroom

Hospital records 160 religious exemptions to vaccine policy

Caroling, caroling, caroling — Apologies for the brain worm! 'Tis the season, though, for Christmas songs ... and the some trivia. Did you know the tune for "What Child is This?" is that of "Greensleeves," the latter of which is popularly (though apparently erroneously) attributed to Henry VIII?

Some other tidbits: The song is "Happy Holiday," not "Happy Holidays." And that song about merriment and gentlemen? "Merry" refers to the state in which the singer hopes the gentlemen will rest — and not the state in which the gentlemen actually are. It's "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" and not "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen." What a difference a little comma can make!

What is your favorite Christmas carol? Mine is "Deck the Halls," but the specific version by Vic Damone. I'm just old enough to have grown up listening to it on vinyl — and my mom still has the copy of the album "Christmastime in Carol and Song" that features Vic. I listen to it every year, and get pepped up despite the raspy scratches and skips.

One last thing — and I don't mean to start a debate during the season of cheer — but do you consider "Diehard" to be a Christmas movie? Let us know on NABUR!

Whatever you like to watch or listen to, this is Katharhynn from the Newsroom wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

Ho, ho, ho — Santa made a special stop for Heroes for Kids on Saturday. St. Nick dropped by Murdoch's for the annual event, which pairs kiddos with law enforcement officers, firefighters and other first responders for a donation-funded shopping spree.

Each child is selected based on need and information from schools. The Montrose County Sheriff's Office hosted the event, with help from multiple other agencies.

Everyone started out the day with breakfast at McDonald's, then went to Murdoch's, where Santa Claus arrived in the sheriff's Bearcat.

Special thanks to Joseph Harold for the photo!



More Christmas trivia ... The word "holiday" is just a variant of "holy day." So, if people offer that as a greeting, they actually are not secularizing Christmas (or Hanukkah, Solstice, or other holidays marked at about the same time.)

Smile and remember: Peace on Earth.
