Grand Junction officials will place large sandbags at River Park at Las Colonias to guide the Colorado River toward its main channel as water levels have dropped steadily over the past month—protecting four endangered fish species until the flow increases.
The Glade Park Volunteer Fire Department re-formed into the Fire Protection District after funding issues and rising costs led its board to back a service plan approved by the County Commissioners on June 24. The new district will seek voter approval for a property tax levy—estimated to initially bring in about $136,689—while keeping current personnel until staffing needs change.

“This newsletter is great. I don't usually take the time to read the news, but this makes it quick and easy. Wonderful idea and wonderful execution. Because of this newsletter I bought 88 lbs of dog food and 30 lbs of cat food for the local animal shelter that otherwise I wouldn't have known they needed.”

“I'm actually really loving the newsletter. A lot of us in the community feel the traditional news providers have gotten pretty negatively biased, so it's truly refreshing to see news that's presented in bite-sized pieces but also isn't hinting one way or another. Very much appreciated in today's climate. Thank you for providing something new and refreshing for the city!”
