A lengthy discussion on the damage to Haxtun’s main street took up almost the first hour of a March 2 Haxtun Town Council meeting last week. The majority of the damage, in the 100 block of South Colorado Avenue, seems to be from expansion following the main street project that took place seven years ago. The damaged curb and gutter became an issue last year, when pieces of the concrete began to break off, some in large amounts, mostly on the west edge of the street. When the issue arose, Town Superintendent Ron Carpenter began contacting b...

A few years ago the big news out of our capitol city was the opening of a new and totally unique furniture store. Must have been a slow news day. Actually, the media blitz lasted several days, touting a shopping experience like none ever seen. This caught my eye because, short of getting bucked off a horse into a patch of prickly pear cactus, there is nothing I dislike more than shopping, especially in a furniture store. All those couches and I can’t take a nap on any of them. No TV nearby a...
Some recent studies conclude that nearly one third of all landfill material is waste food and related organic material. It is not something most of us usually consider when preparing meals, or even while eating out.

Letter to the Editor, Fentanyl is the strongest opiate on the streets right now and it’s estimated to be 100 times more potent than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin.

Fentanyl has recently been found not only in heroin supplies, but it’s also been found in other illicit drugs like cocaine and marijuana. Unsuspecting addicts consume the drug in the amounts th...
