Girls wrestling coming: On the heels of the first sanctioned season for high school girls wrestling in Colorado, student-athletes in Olathe, Montrose and Delta are receiving support from the community.
The Montrose Wrestling Association, led by Jake England, its president, formed a GoFundMe fundraiser for the program, intended to help with uniform needs, travel expenses and other program related expenses as the team navigates its first season.
"We knew this year they were going to sanction girls wrestling as a sport," England said on Tuesday. "We wanted to get every avenue we could to get it up and running."



Thursday Throwback:
Berni Cassidy remembers when JC Penney was located at the southwest corner of Main Street and Townsend Avenue, a locale now dedicated to Demoret Park.
A Montrose institution for more than eight decades, JC Penney will close its doors Saturday, if not sooner, Irons said.

Budget increases on public safety complex: Montrose City Council agreed to boost the contract for design consultant work necessary for the public safety complex, which is expected to break ground sometime in April and end in a modern police facility.
The contract amendment for Blythe Group & Co. is for audiovisual design — an additional $31,618 — and specialized furniture procurement ($34,860). These services were included in the overall bid, but at the time, the city did not act on them, because staff wanted to see whether these elements could be handled in-house, or procured elsewhere for less, Jim Scheid, Public Works director, said Tuesday.
