Despite a dry winter and below-average snowpack, water levels remain high in lakes along the Arkansas River managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, causing the closing of some roads, fishing and picnic areas and even a boat ramp.

The March 12 deadline is fast approaching for the public to comment on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ proposal to revise the 1974 master plan governing operations at John Martin Reservoir State Park in Bent County.

The master plan will guide the way natural and cultural resources are managed for the next 25 years at the reservoir, built as a flood control and irrigation dam on the Arkansas River and opened in 1948.

“Red Sparrow” is a movie that never stays the same quality for very long. It’ll seem clever and intricate for a few scenes and then do something stupid. It’ll be bland and meandering for a bit and then pull out something tender or well-thought-out. I suppose that such an inconsistent film is better than a consistently bad one, but I’ll admit there were times where it would have been more convenient to write this off as a bad film and just check out.

I have lost twenty pounds, and I’m very proud of my accomplishment. I know I have to develop healthy habits in order to keep the weight off.  My problem is I eat too much in the evenings after dinner. What can I do to change this bad habit? --Sherry

Dear Sherry,

Congratulations on your weight loss. You should definitely be proud of yourself!

Many people fall into the trap of night eating. In the evening our will power is down, and we are susceptible to temptation.

The annual spring migration of greater sandhill cranes is in full force in southern Colorado. If you've never seen these beautiful birds gathering in huge numbers, be sure to put it on your bucket list.

"People in Colorado should take time to see the cranes; the migration is truly one of nature's wonders," said Joe Lewandowski, a spokesperson for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
