Matt Scherr’s Eagle County arrival story isn’t unusual: Fresh off a layoff from a telecommunications company, he followed a former girlfriend to Vail. Scherr has since built a life of service, in the community and in elective office. He’s worked as a volunteer, as well as at the former Vail Leadership Institute. There, he came to know many of the pioneers and “great minds” behind the creation of Vail. Scherr went on to run the Eagle Valley Allia…

When it comes down to it, angling can be a daunting affair. Pressure from friends pushes anglers to measure success through photographs and social media. The “big-fish-are-the-only-ones-worth-posting” mentality elevates misguided conceptions for measuring success. Don’t let the value of an angling adventure be measured in inches.  Revel in the simple beauty of the little fish. Trust me, I can hear it in my head already: the razzing from friends …

The first Tuesday (after the first Monday) of any given month generally has little significance — unless that particular Tuesday happens to come in November. Then there’s a pretty good chance it’ll be known as Election Day. But why are the elections held in November? And why single out Tuesday? The Election Day saga started in 1845. Before then, election days were somewhat arbitrary. States had a window of 34 days, before the first Wednesday in …

The Eagle County School District's official tally of the number of students enrolled in school this year has arrived, as has its correlative budget deficit. Colorado public schools receive funding from the state through a combination of three factors: the number of students (multiplied by a base rate related to district size, staff costs and cost of living), the district's risk factor, and the district's ability to serve students from outside th…

Exactly what that means and how it could impact public education is disputed by supporters and opponents of the ballot question. While the ballot language itself makes no mention of funding or voucher programs, groups opposing the amendment argue that adding school choice to the s…

Over the almost six years of living in Avon, I have had the pleasure, and privilege, of getting to know Lindsay Hardy, and there is no one better I can think of to be reelected to the Avon Town Council for another term, than her. I have been lucky enough to collaborate with Lindsay in several different capacities — whether it is working together as part of the CASE (Culture, Arts, and Special Events) Committee for the Town of Avon or through her…

The Eagle County Board of Commissioners continuously approve new housing developments and as a result, our valley’s wildlife is under an increasing threat to their survival. At specific issue is the proposed Wolcott PUD which encroaches on the habitat of a pair of actively nesting bald eagles and their eaglets. Since 2014, the pair have raised between two and three eaglets each year. This parcel of land is also the home for migrating elk and mul…
