Native American mascots: Colorado school districts after lawmakers proposed a bill to ban use of American Indian mascots by public schools, charter schools and universities. Senate Bill 21-116 states the use of such imagery as mascots creates an unsafe learning environment for Native American students, impacting those students' mental health and promoting bullying. If passed, SB 21-116 would require all schools with Native American mascots, including some Montrose schools, to change the mascots, otherwise a monthly $25,000 fine would be imposed for schools that continued to display them after June 1, 2022. Fines would be payable to the state education fund. Cycling across America for art: Ideas come in all shapes and sizes, and some come on the brink of a birthday. Lewis Williams' 60th birthday, in one case. He will be taking part in the Red Rock Arts Festival, a Plein-Air painting competition for those who love to paint outdoors. Plein-Air is a French word for outdoor painting. Painters go outside and view the landscape in real lighting. "MeatOut" day: Americans' favorite protein-source is chicken, followed closely by beef, according to the Health and Wellness Marketing Agency. Today is National Protein Day and based on a survey, 74% of Americans believe it is important to eat enough protein at each meal. But if protein is so important, why does Gov. Jared Polis declare a "Meat Out" day on March 20. Publisher Dennis Anderson explores Polis' declaration while looking at the challenges Colorado's agriculture economy faced throughout the pandemic in 2020. Freezer full of beef, pork: Yes, please! Spring is around the corner and with that comes the start of grilling season. We love to spend time with our families and grilling up meat on the warmer summer nights.

Single-dose vaccine on edge of approval

Airstrikes in Syria and national minimum wage increase

Email not displaying correctly? View the web version

(Kurtis A. Hatcher/US Navy via Flickr) Single-dose vaccine almost approved: The FDA is reviewing Johnson and Johnson's single-dose vaccine. The vaccine advisory committee is convening today to discuss potential emergency use authorization. The company has said that they can manufacture 100,000,000 doses of the vaccine by the end of June. Unlike Pfizer and Moderna's two-dose mRNA vaccines, Johnson and Johnson's is not quite as effective in preventing moderate-to-severe infections. However, the vaccine is extremely effective in preventing severe cases that lead to hospitalization and death. National minimum wage increase snags: An attempt to pass an increase in the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $15. Democrats in Congress attempted to fold the measure into the broader $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill, but the Senate parliamentarian ruled yesterday that it could not be folded into the budget reconciliation process, which only requires a simple 51-vote majority instead of the usual 60-vote threshold needed in the Senate. However, some senators are still trying to make it happen with a 'Plan B' to penalize large corporations who do not pay their employees a living wage. The national minimum wage was last raised to $7.25 in 2009. Some states have recently increased wages to $15/hour, such as Florida, California and New Jersey. Colorado voters approved Amendment 70 in 2016, which incrementally increased the statewide minimum wage to $12 last year. It will be adjusted annually to account for increases in cost of living. Airstrike in Syria: President Biden ordered airstrikes targeting Iranian-backed militias in eastern Syria in his first publicly known military operation as president. Department of Defense officials said that the airstrikes were retaliation for recent killings of American civilians in Iraq. Some Democrats have questioned Biden's authority for carrying out the strike. Eagle spotted: Reader Holly Von Helms sent us this photo of a golden eagle on her neighbor's roof back in January. The big bird, we think, might be scanning for prey. QUICK LINKS Listen to our podcast Montrose Fresh.

Today's Roundup The Montrose Daily Press newsroom has been launching a new discussion platform this month called NABUR (the Neighborhood Assisted Bureau Reporting). NABUR serves the greater Montrose area and is moderated and fact-checked by our local journalists.     Join the conversation! Register or Login for NABUR here   Latest conversations Below are some recent posts from the NABUR community: "Who can you trust for information about services for older adults?" Eva Veitch shared on the Senior Living page. "The Area Agency on Agency at Region 10 serves the six counties of Montrose, Delta, Gunnison, Hinsdale, Ouray and San Miguel. We have counselors in each county who are there to provide local resources, assistance and referrals as needed to help older adults and their families maintain dignity and independence. There is no charge for services, no discrimination or bias, we are here to help people make educated decisions and access the resources they may need. If you or someone you know has questions, please check out our website." "When life inspires art ... Calling all creatives, cowboy poets, painters, you name it!" Kelsey Hess shared on Creativity page. "I recently came across "Bendición del Agua" (A Prayer for Water) by the 25-year-old Taos-based writer, farmer and water rights activist Olivia Romo. Her family has farmed corn for many generations, and relies on one of New Mexico's acequias -- community water ditches -- for irrigation. As we all know, water is a big topic of conversation in Montrose, which is probably why Ms. Romo's piece packed such a punch for me. Do we have any artists here creating original work around local community issues? These are just a few recent examples of the conversations we're starting to have on NABUR. To learn more about the platform, click on the image below to learn more, and then head on over to NABUR to join the dialogue. Thanks for reading, and we'll see you on the platform!
