I attended the uranium open house last Thursday so that I could give a report. No, there was not much seeing red at that meeting. It was very civil. More on that later.
No, here is the story of “red”. I ran into several friends and neighbors at the open house, one of...

When folks ask me about La Sal, I say it is an old ranching and mining town. For ranching it is feast and famine – leaning more toward famine. Local mining is ebb and flow.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that maybe we’ve seen the last of Indian Summer for 2010.
As with the rest of the state, southeast Utah and Sierra La Sal experienced the zipping through of the polar express T-Day eve. Ours came actually in the wee hours of...

Sorry, the La Sal Bear Buffet is now closed. Out of food! Well, actually that’s a good thing, says a local rancher.

It is now official – the La Sal branch of the San Juan County library opened for buisness yesterday. I hope a lot of folks head on down there and take a look (and a book or two).
I guess Good Friday is not the best time for a grand opening pot luck. Last...

But, will it last? I was thinking last week that one of the best ways to preserve some things is to freeze them. So, thinks I, this Christmas card scene produced by last week’s snow should last as it was followed by sub zero temps.

Naw, not that kind of falling down – not the “I’ve fallen and can’t get up” kind. Rather, it is the falling down on the job falling. Seems I failed to go out and witness the “Trunk or Treat” on Halloween, as I should have as a good reporter.
