  • There’s life in that leaf litter

    2 days ago

    Every fall, after the leaves, twigs and other natural debris fall to the ground, a rich community of animals springs to life—weird, prehistoric-looking creatures with names like water bears, sow bugs, springtails and harvestmen. It’s a mind-blowing world filled with herbivores, predators, parasites, parasites who feed on other parasites (hyperparasites) and symbiosis.

  • Job fairs connect candidates to careers

    3 days ago

    Even in big cities such as Denver and Colorado Springs, finding the right job isn’t always an easy task. Drill that down to less populated areas such as the San Luis Valley and job opportunities seem like slim pickings. That’s where the Colorado Work Force centers in Monte Vista and Alamosa come in. Both are tapped into dozens of local job listings, from police officers and emergency dispatchers to nurses, human resource professionals, wait staff, dump truck drivers and store managers.

  • MVHS marching band moves onto regionals

    3 days ago

    The Monte Vista High School marching band won first in the Class 1A competition this weekend at Legend High School in Parker, Colo. Though they were the only 1A band in the competition, some 24 other high school bands competed in other classes. The performance helped ready the Pirates for the upcoming regional competition to be held on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at Liberty High School in Colorado Springs, where they will face the stiffest instrument-toting rivals they’ve had in years. They’ll be competing against five other 1A bands for only three available spots at the state competition in Pueblo in late October.
