Hi friends, a happy Wednesday to you. Cassie from the newsroom here, thinking about little Vinice Mabansag, the world's symbolic 8 billionth baby as of yesterday, according to the Commission on Population and Development. Baby Vinice was born in the Philippines in a Manila hospital. As predicted, the world hit 8 billion people yesterday, marking one million new souls on Earth in the past 12 years. Local roundup Montrose County Chipeta Hwy 550 signal project: Beginning next Monday (Nov. 21), the county and project team are implementing a winter shutdown for the project at the intersection of Chipeta Rd. and Hwy 550. It's expected to reconvene mid-January and signals should be online in early February. The project will likely wrap, weather permitting, in late April. General Election ballots finish curing at 11:59 p.m. tonight: This means you have until that time to fix any issues with your ballot. You can do that here or use the TXT2Cure system, where you can text the word 'Colorado' to the number '28683' to start the process. You can also call the Montrose County Elections Office at (970) 249-3362 ext. 3 for assistance.
