America’s fourth-longest river, the Rio Grande, originates in this area, just north of the Wolf Creek ski area. This year it’s not much of a river. The Denver Post recently detailed the woes of the river. The problems of too much agriculture have been a challenge for some years. But agriculture leaders told the newspaper that low flows may accelerate loss of 100,000 acres of irrigated land, a fifth of the food production in the valley. Water volumes in the river are less than 20 percent of the 120-year average, the Post reported in a June story. The river won’t be a river by sometime this summer as it goes into New Mexico. There, farmers are having their own problems, reports the Santa Fe New Mexican. The newspaper reported that for many of the 140 vendors at the farmers’ market in Santa Fe, the nearly snowless winter and a nearly rainless spring are causing fields to be fallowed. In those volving the vehicles. The Deseret News reports University of Utah Health officials are partnering with the state Division of Parks and Recreation for a safety awareness campaign. Chris Haller, the division’s off-highway vehicle program coordinator, says the state has already recorded 10 deaths this year. The state sees about 14 deaths each year involving off- road vehicles. Zach Robinson, trauma outreach coordinator at University of Utah Health, says the state is on track to surpass the average annual number of deaths. Haller and Robinson encouraged riders to wear properly fitted and fastened helmets. The pair demonstrated correct helmet safety Monday as part of the campaign launched at the South Jordan Health Center. fields that remain in productions, yields are down in some cases by 30 to 40 percent. cue the stranded customers, five at a time. But at 11 p.m., as light disappeared, the rescues had to be suspended, reports the Jasper Fitzhugh. That left 50 people to spend the night in the gondola cars. They were given food, water, blankets, and pillows for the night. By mid-morning the last of them had been evacuated, giving them a holiday experience that few, if any, will soon forget. Canmore hoteliers all in on bid for 2026 Olympics CANMORE, Alberta – The group preparing the bid for Calgary to host the 2026 Winter Olympics has been securing commitments from hoteliers in Canmore, at the entrance to Banff National Park. Organizers expect to submit the bid in January. The International Olympic Committee has indicated it requires 21,330 hotel rooms in Calgary and 8,355 in the mountains. Canmore hosted the Nordic events in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Deeper in the mountains are Banff and Lake Louise. One of the ski areas near Banff, Sunshine, wants to add a second gondola and more lifts to enable daily skier capacity to be expanded to 8,500 from the current 6,000. The Rocky Mountain Outlook says that one of the most contentious issues is whether the base area can be expanded to accommodate more than the current 1,700 vehicles. 50 people spend night on gondola after power surge JASPER, Alberta – The storm toppled trees in Jasper but also produced a surge of electricity that stopped the gondola that was ferrying 160 people to the alpine zone of Whistler Mountain.

It’s part of Fraser’s efforts to step up recycling. “Studies have shown that based on current pay-as-youthrow programs across the United States that this could result in a 10 to 20 percent reduction in waste going into a landfill,” Mike Brack, assistant town manager, told the Sky Hi News. “Then you take that along with the 25 percent of people who aren’t recycling right now, and that’s a lot of waste that’s not going to a landfill.” Jeff Durbin, the town manager, said it’s cheaper on average to use the pay-as-you-throw facility than to use the dumpster service of Waste Management, the private company. The facility cost $250,000, of which $200,000 was paid for by a grant from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment. 6/25/18 3:36 PM IT ’S LO CA LS A P P REC I AT I ON S E ASO N!
