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!
