Good morning, Grand Junction.

The 10th annual Cesar Chavez Celebration was held at Las Colonias Park on March 29th and featured food trucks, vendors, music, and a car show to honor the activist who fought for farm and union workers.

Organizers noted the event has grown from a small Lincoln Park barn gathering—now expanded into a large community event—emphasizing unity and a break from daily stress.

Coffman Road just north of Whitewater will be widened and replaced starting Monday and is expected to finish in October—county officials said a section of the road will be fully closed during work, with detours set on 31 Road, Hookless Boulevard, and parts of Coffman Road near the Old Spanish Trail.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife honored longtime employee Jenn Logan — the assistant native aquatic species coordinator — with the Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program’s 2025 Researcher of the Year Award for her work protecting endangered native fish.

Mesa County officials said that Coffman Road north of Whitewater will be closed for construction starting Monday — the road will be widened and replaced with work set to continue through October.

A study by researchers at the Colorado School of Public Health found that children with leukemia were more likely to live near oil and gas well sites—with risk highest within 3 miles—than children without the disease.

The research, which analyzed cases from 2002 to 2019 and controlled for factors like birth weight and other pollution sources, suggests that current setback regulations may not sufficiently protect children's health.
