Good morning, Grand Junction.

The annual Pink the Rink game, a sold-out fundraiser for local cancer patients, took place Sunday night in Grand Junction (a nine-year tradition) as organizers hope to surpass last year’s $36,000 record by raising nearly $250,000 in total funds.

Local artist Heather McNabb's sculpture 'Tearing Our Foundation' is on display on Main Street in front of Hampton Inn at 205 Main St as part of the temporary Art on the Corner exhibit, using steel and bronze to express concern over fading freedoms.

Rifle-based West Divide Water Conservancy District filed a water court application in December for a Crystal River backup plan that releases water from four reservoirs (two newly constructed) to cover shortages for irrigators and residential users; Pitkin County reviews the proposal while local stakeholders can file opposition by Feb. 28.

Seven states drawing on the Colorado River ended negotiations without a deal before the Interior Department’s Saturday deadline.

Negotiators will continue talks amid lower snowpack and rising drought concerns that threaten water, agriculture and power supplies across the region.

Residents gathered at a recent open house at the Mesa County Central Library downtown where city and county staff explained local services, projects, and future priorities while interactive activities allowed feedback on housing challenges + ideas.
