When Brailey Jones, grandson of Jean and Charlie Jones of Sundance, became an on-air personality for Denver's KYGO country radio station, winning awards wasn't the first thing on his mind. But when he clutched the Country Music Awards (CMA) statue that recognized KYGO as the Major Market Radio Station of the Year, it was a lifelong dream come true. "Personally, it was a huge milestone in my career. I grew up watching the CMAs on TV, hearing stations like KYGO win, and always wanted to be at a...

Governor Mark Gordon has indicated that the state remains committed to fighting back against federal vaccine mandates, though the possibility of them being enforced has ebbed for the time being. The Occupational and Safety Health Administration (OSHA) announced last week that it has, “suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement of the [COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS)] pending future developments in the litigation.” On November 12, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit gra...

I was tasked with making dessert for this year’s Thanksgiving feast, because my sister-in-law is as clever as she is a good host. I opted for a raspberry cheesecake and apple crumble tassies, because the pumpkin pie was already covered. You may be wondering why we needed extra dessert on top of the traditional choices, and the answer to that question is that we didn’t. Necessity is beside the point. My sister-in-law knows that I’ll be anxious to the point that I will vibrate around the edge of h...

The special management program for leafy spurge was carried out somewhat as normal this year, though it was moderately impacted by the drought. This extreme weather resulted with treatments that were very slow to kill all weeds this year, including leafy spurge. However, the biggest change coming in the program is how the district will be handling hiring contractors for leafy spurge treatments. In the past, landowners could choose to hire a contract weed sprayer to treat their leafy spurge – after completion of work and payment to applicator, t...

The call came in at around 3:40 p.m. on October 29 that Roscoe was “upset and had a gun”, according to incident reports from the Sheriff’s Office.
