| | | The City of Montrose announced in a press release that Phase I of the Uncompahgre River Improvements Project near North Ninth Street is complete and open to the public. The project was completed under budget, ahead of schedule and injury-free. | | | A reported stabbing left a Montrose man with severe, deep injuries from three wounds, one of which required surgery to address intestinal damage, court documents say. | | A local nonprofit that gives young people a safe place to be and access to enrichment programs is on the cusp of hitting local matching fund requirements for its new, permanent facility.
The Black Canyon Boys & Girls Club needs help getting over that finish line: although it has been able to raise about $1.25 million in local matches for its new home, it needs about $300,000 more from area donors. | | | If there was ever a doubt, it wasn't planted in the minds of Olathe's Nicole Koch and Kierstin Myers. | | The afternoon sun is mellow like a song. The air is still, the sky is stark Colorado blue, and the quiet holds the crisp feel of winter. On snowshoes, I'm out looking for signs of spring along Black Canyon's Oak Flat Trail.
Animal tracks are plentiful, and more birds are flying in during the day, but I'm examining twigs; looking at buds. I wonder what promises they hold. | | When we take to the trails, we accept the inherent risk of a possible injury. Perhaps the subtle danger of our outdoor activity is part of the virile attraction to the great backcountry.
Every trip I take, I hope to not come home in the cargo section of the airplane sporting a toe tag, and so far, so good. | | | | | | |
