Having a ball Folks, if you don't know about the Welcome Home Alliance for Veterans/Warrior Resource Center, you are missing out. It's a nonprofit, not tied to a formal organization other than its own, and it helps active-duty military, veterans and their families with services, resources, and — perhaps most important — camaraderie. On Saturday, I was lucky enough to see and experience that, despite never serving in the military, when I attended the Blue Jean Ball for Veterans. The ball raised funds while also giving everyone a great time, and tasty food. Plus, it honored several community members, sponsors, volunteers and board members. If you missed the Blue Jean Ball, you can still help Welcome Home. Visit them at 4 Hillcrest Plaza Way in Montrose, call 970-765-2210, or visit the website. There's still time to buy a raffle ticket for a collector's rifle, a .22 Silverboy Pheasants Forever gun ($20 per ticket; $30 for two). (Everyone loves The Brown Family Band, which revved up the crowd at the Blue Jean Ball .) (Here, Janet Bennet receives an award from April Heard for her work with the alliance.) (Montrose County Commissioner Roger Rash with WHAFV volunteer coordinator Amy Eifling; executive director April Heard and executive assistant Kellie Green.) — Katharhynn, from the Newsroom. Let's hear it for the band! Congratulations to the Pride of Montrose Marching Band! The band is headed to state competitions after winning at band fest on Oct. 19. Good luck at state to these hardworking, talented young people! (Pride of Montrose competes at Stocker Stadium on Oct. 19. Photos by Lucas Vader) Heartbreaking situation Keep your eyes out ... for two indoor-only cats that suddenly found themselves released outside after their owner passed away. They were released with two others from an apartment on North Third Street and Uncompahgre Avenue on Oct. 5. One of the cats was sadly hit and killed on the street. Another one (the one pictured) was successfully trapped, but advocates are trying to find the remaining two, who look like the found cat - one is shorthaired and the other longhaired. These cats are likely terrified, having never been outdoors. Please call or text 970-691-4412 or 970-210-3182 if you have information. (I am passing this information along, only, and am not involved in the search. It just makes me sad.) CONGRATULATIONS! ... to our Best of the Valley winners.

Fall on the slope...and in the desert Thanks to a pair of Wednesday afternoon meetings, i've missed a few newsletters– but I'm back! I've spent the last few weekends making the most of the gorgeous trails the Western Slope has to offer and doing my best to enjoy fall. Last weekend, w took a last-minute trip to Moab to watch the eclipse and explore town. It was only my second time out there, and we made the most of our two-day trip...more on that in tomorrow's outdoors section. With the leaves right around peak, the weekend before last was a perfect time to climb Ouray County's Courthouse Mountain. For a peak under 13,000, it packed a lot of punch, and my legs were shaking by the time we hit the summit. This was also the day of the Ridgway 1k, so we looked at the climb as a bit of a cooldown. Since we ran the race as part of a team forBrown Chicken Crown Cow Ice Cream, it only seemed fitting to rock the costumes on the climb. Even Croche, my buddy's dog, rocket a skunk 'fit for the mountain. A few extra pics from Moab, plus the summit of Courthouse...I'll let y'all figure out which is which.
