Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds Colorado anglers that 2017 fishing licenses are valid as of April 1. Thanks to unseasonably warm temperatures, the ice is receding fast so get your poles out of the closet and hit a lake this spring.
Near Denver, three excellent bodies of water to cast a line are Chatfield or Cherry Creek state parks or the Aurora Reservoir. These lakes are all stocked by CPW. The agency supports 19 hatcheries and rearing units statewide and stocks 90 million fish annually into waters throughout Colorado in order to ensure good angling opportunities.
(BPT) - Warm weather welcomes flowerbeds, gardens burst with color and fragrance, and in many yards, roses are the stars of the show. They’re the most popular and prized flower in American gardens, one of the most-beloved flowers for weddings, and staples of Valentine’s and Mother’s Day bouquets. Americans love their roses — and so do a host of harmful pests, including Japanese beetles, aphids, mites among other insects, and let’s not forget about deer.

Our communities would like to extend their condolences to the
family of Lloyd O'Neil. Lloyd passed away on Saturday after a short
illness.
Wasn't the rain a blessing. Quite a large area benefited from the moisture, ranging from 1 1/4 to 2". Everything is already starting to green up.
Several track meets and ball games were postponed because of the rain. Most of these will be rescheduled for a future time.
