Colorado State University (CSU) Extension and the Colorado Corn Administrative Committee (CCAC) are inviting corn farmers and others interested to attend the upcoming Corn Field Day near Holyoke.  

The event is set for 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 30, taking place about 10 miles south of Holyoke on U.S. 385. (From U.S. 385, go west on County Road 2 -- also listed as County Road 60 -- for 2 1/4 miles, and then turn south on the trail at that location.)

These days, most of us are dependent, to some extent, on our cell phones. While service can be non-existent or, at best, sketchy in remote areas, emergency rescue experts suggest that hunters carry their phones with them in the field. 

Have you ever found yourself walking around only to look up at just the right moment before you slam into a wall or another person?  Who knew walking could be so dangerous?

25 Years Ago

August 20, 1992

It was Thursday again. Mabel Adams asked at the desk to be sure.

“Thursday all day, Mabel,” the girl said. “Don’t forget to get your hair done today. Two o’clock … right?”

“Right,” Mabel said, locking the time away in her mind. “Two o’clock. On Thursday.”

She took her purple walker and went half a block to the counter at the drug store.

That nice Williams girl came over with a smile and a menu.

“Tuna on toast, Mrs. Adams?”

“Uh, sure. I like that.”

“Hot tea?”

“Yes please.”

Defendant faked doctor notes and planned to lie about sickness until her retirement

Caroline Zarate Boyle, 60, of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, was sentenced this week by U.S. District Court Judge Raymond P. Moore to serve five years’ probation with the first six months in home confinement including wearing an electronic monitor.
