A sneak peek at tomorrow's print edition ...

In tomorrow's print edition of the Montrose Daily Press, you can read about an incident during which a board member of the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Association was chased and then crushed by a cow while he was doing trail work in Delta; and also about the MHS girls' basketball team's — still undefeated — entrance into the Sweet 16 round of the playoffs; as well as about the MCSD school board's ongoing discussion regarding selecting a new legal firm — potentially the firm connected to controversial attorney Brad Miller.

Hope you enjoy reading the paper — in print tomorrow and online everyday, at montrosepress.com.

Have a Good One,

Where the stories live — C. William Langsfeld's debut novel 'Salvation' draws national praise; Western Slope author presents reading in Ridgway March 4

C. William Langsfeld likes to take his time writing a good book.
"I'm a big fan of letting things ferment," the author said.
The characters and narrative threads in his debut novel, "Salvation," for instance, have been living in Langsfeld's head for years — growing, developing, evolving over time.
The book was published recently and has garnered notable attention, with the The Los Angeles Times naming the title as one of its most anticipated books of the year and the Chicago Review of Books listing the novel among this month's must-reads.
Langsfeld gives a reading March 4 in Ridgway at The Sherbino.

State of the City: 'We're awesome' — Montrose officials highlight a busy 2025, preview this year's plans at annual address

When Montrose Mayor Pro Tem Judy Ann Files addressed the crowd at the third annual State of the City address Monday, she read the group a statement from the city's business cards of all things.
"The motto on our business cards reads: Promoting the Montrose lifestyle by providing innovative and service-oriented leadership for a vibrant community," she said.
It was an apt and concise way to kick off the event, during which city staff and elected officials reviewed highlights from 2025 and plans for 2026, touching on projects and initiatives aimed at making the city safer, more vibrant and economically sustainable.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: Is this déjà vu all over again? MCSD board leadership risks losing the public's trust

Actions speak louder than words, at least that's what I believe. But the actions of Montrose County School District Board President Neisha Balleck and Vice President Ted Valerio have led to mistrust in the Montrose community. Sure, they have the support of the far right in Montrose County, but taking a page out of the play book of former and recalled Montrose County chair Scott Mijares is giving folks déjà vu. It's not a positive experience.
