Hello, Montrose! Justin from the newsroom here, and I have a few notes for you as we head into this beautiful fall weekend. I'm hoping you get to see some of the colors changing. The play's the thing: Magic Circle Players debut their show, Spamalot, tonight. It's a musical adapted from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so there are sure to be laughs. The show runs through Oct. 1 at Magic Circle Theatre, 420 S. 12th St. Tickets are available here. DA transparency: A group of district attorneys from around the state, including our DA, Seth Ryan, recently got together to build an online dashboard in an attempt to increase their offices' transparency. Each office's dashboards show data around felony referrals, charging and filing, case resolution, diversion and deferrals, sentencing, defendant characteristics, serving victims and staffing and caseload. Has it been hotter this year? Katharhynn Heidelberg wrote about the heat. It wasn't in your head. It's been hotter, and the trend may continue with hotter autumns continuing into the future, according to a state climatologist Heidelberg spoke with.
