Mourning, marching for their son: Kimberly Beck finds herself where no mother wants to be — mourning the loss of a son. But in memory of Charles "Gage" Lorentz, who was fatally shot by a National Park Service ranger at New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns, Beck is turning her mourning into a march for change. "It's been almost a year and we still have no answers on our son's killing," Beck said.

(William Woody/City of Montrose) Preserving Mexican-American heritage: The City of Montrose has been granted $25,000 from History Colorado to prepare a historic context survey to inform historic preservation efforts in Montrose's self-described Tortilla Flats neighborhood, located on the city's northwest side. The project is an initiative of the City's Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). Tortilla Flats enjoys a rich history, and the city is interested in diving deeper to uncover the depth of it's story.
