Game time ... With the start of the school year comes school sports. It's fall, so that means football, and also softball, soccer, volleyball and cross country. With the return of school sports comes the Montrose Daily Press's coverage of local sports — the telling of the season's stories, of the victories and defeats, the nail-biters and the runaways, the trajectories of particular teams or players. If you'd like to dig into stories previewing this season, take a look at our sports pages online. You may also enjoy catching up on how Montrose High School's varsity football team is doing thus far, or find out why Olathe High School isn't fielding a varsity football team. And check back throughout this season for continued coverage of local high school sports. We've got Dan Mohrmann, from Colorado Preps, covering the games, and getting photos from local photographers like Will Woody. These will be some fun stories. And speaking of photographs, if you find yourself at a game — maybe you've got a student playing — and walk away with some good photos, feel free to send them our way. You can email photos to editor@montrosepress.com Enjoy the games.

Olathe benches varsity football program — for now Heading into the 2023 season, Head Coach Tyler Vincent, Athletic Director Darren Sofka and the other football and school staff at Olathe made a tough decision: eliminating the school's varsity football team and maintaining a junior varsity-only program for the year. Read More Sphinx moths causing a buzz among gardeners I've discovered there's a real love hate relationship when it comes to sphinx moths, or sometimes more affectionately referred to as hummingbird moths. It seems to me that most people either love them or hate them. So let me explain and you can decide which camp you might be in. Read More Ridgway fish deemed safe to eat To address concerns of anglers, Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently submitted fish from Ridgway Reservoir and the San Miguel River to be analyzed for metal contaminations.

What's good around here? Anyone who knows me knows I love to eat, and there's plenty of that to do around here. These past few weeks, I haven't been super busy and got to spend some time just hanging out in and around town, trying out local places with friends and enjoying the food and views before it gets cold and I get too miserable to enjoy drinking a nice glass of wine outside in a vineyard. A couple of places I've been to recently stood out, and since I never really know what to put in these newsletters, let's talk about them. Just a few hours ago, I stopped by Taqueria Calvillo here in Montrose for the first time. The Mexican food truck at 441 N Townshend serves dishes like tacos, burritos and quesadillas for a pretty good price, and they're pretty great. I didn't even know what a "gordita" was until today, but they looked delicious so I had to grab two. Turns out it's basically round, stuffed masa. Absolutely fantastic (the carne asada was my favorite). While it was more of a hike, I was also in a wine mood last weekend (maybe two weekends ago?) and made a last-minute decision with a buddy to hit up the Storm Cellar in Hotchkiss– which, we didn't realize at the time, is a crazy-decorated winery that's won tons of awards. We strolled in off the street for a tasting, and there was seriously medals hanging off of almost every bottle in the shop. Our timing ended up being perfect, because we got there just as Chef Brandt Bishop was setting up to cook some east asian cuisine as part of a bi-weekly small plates series the winery holds all summer and into the fall. We got seconds of everything we tried, and the view and Rose was delightful. That's all for now, but we'll keep y'all up to date on what's going on in Montrose– and other local businesses we see doing cool stuff.
