Creative district boundaries proposed
STERLING JOURNAL ADVOCATE, OCT. 25 — Efforts to form a Sterling Creative District are moving forward under the auspices of LOCAL, the Logan County Arts League.
LOCAL was born out of public meetings that followed the Sterling City Council expressing support for the concept of a creative district in a resolution last November. At the time, the council had directed the committee working on the district to get more public input and come up with boundaries for the district.
After months of discussion, the committee and the Sterling Arts Council agreed to join forces under the auspices of one umbrella organization.

The Yuma City Council got an earful during its regular meeting last week in regard to leaves and tree branches.

Cliff Henry was the first to address the council. He said Yuma needs to get back to being more like a farming town and less like a Front Range city. He said if necessary, the City should drop the fall clean-up service in exchange for picking up leaf piles out of the gutter. He also noted one container per block is not enough for all the leaves.
