Before winter weather arrives in earnest, it is highly recommended that you prepare your vehicle for winter travel.

A well-equipped vehicle has adequate tires, tire chains, tow rope, sand or cat litter for traction, shovel, tool kit, windshield scraper and brush, battery cables, first aid kit,  flashlight, extra batteries, blankets or sleeping bags, extra clothing, candles, water‑proof matches, jug of water, high calorie packaged food for quick energy, and an empty can to melt snow for drinking.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife will award $600,000 to eight shooting and archery ranges across Colorado through the agency's Shooting and Range Development Grant Program (SRDG). The funds will go toward developing new places to shoot and upgrading existing ranges across the state.

Wednesday, October 12, nearly 40 high school freshmen representing three State FFA Districts from across the state came to the Lamar Community College campus to participate in a regional Creed Speaking competition. 

Signs unlawful & unsafe

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is reminding supporters of candidates and issues that campaign signs are not permitted in the state’s right-of-way.  In addition, placing real estate or other types of signs in state right of way is illegal.

Slim Randles

The sign in front of the gas station says “Unleaded, 2.39, special on Colt .357 Magnum, six-inch barrel.”

 Visitors here in the valley do a double take when they see Vince’s sign there at what we all know as “the gas station gun shop.” That’s because Vince doesn’t believe in being deprived of his passion while earning a living. His passion: guns. His living: pumping gas.
