"I didn't think I had it." With eyes filled with tears, these words came tumbling out in a low shaky voice from Jim, a big man of 41, as he sat clutching his mother's hand. There was a moment of stunned silence with tears welling up as the group in the room adjusted to this heartbreaking news. It was Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009 in the parlor of the United Methodist Church at Fifth and White in Grand Junction where the Huntington's Disease support group was gathered for its monthly meeting. Jim had been positively diagnosed with HD by a blood test.For Jim, and others who have grown up with HD, he...

Q: I have a dry basement. But recently, after heavy rains, I noticed that in two corners of the basement the paint was bubbling up a bit and, when I pressed one of the bubbles, the paint split and water trickled out. I haven't experienced dampness issues before. What's the problem? - Gary in Waltham, Mass. A: Considering all the pump hoses I saw trailing from basements around my neighborhood following recent heavy rains in the Northeast, a little dampness doesn't seem like much. But you're paying attention to the problem right away, when it's relatively small and new - and that's actually...

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - When most people think of a desert the image in their minds is a place much like the Sahara, with rolling hills of sand and palm trees. However, the image of the desert in the Grand Valley is completely different.In addition to a recreation area, the desert north of Grand Junction has been a dump to those looking to get rid of items and those too lazy to take it somewhere else."I think people see it as a free dumping ground instead of paying to have them disposed of properly," said Kris Adams, Public Lands volunteer coordinator for the Grand Junction Bureau of Land...

Uschi Hall did not allow a 1994 hang gliding accident that left her paraplegic, keep her from pursuing the outdoor life she has always enjoyed.

With hundreds of millions of dollars in education funding about to be slashed from annual budgets, school districts across the state are cutting away at spending plans to try and bridge financial gaps in 2010-11.The budget cuts are being made at all levels with some school districts, such as La Junta, choosing to shutter an intermediate school. The move is forecast to save the district about $770,000 in the 2010-11 budget, officials said, and should help close a financial hole brought on by declining enrollment and cuts made by the state.Assistant Superintendent Carol Noll said the district...

Waiting appears to be close to the hardest part of the 2010-11 budgeting process for Mesa County Valley School District 51."Here is the biggest stumbling point for us," said Melissa Callahan deVita, the executive director of support services for the district. "(People) say we've done a nice job of setting everything up."What we are doing. Why we are doing it, and how we are doing it so everybody has that understanding (of the process). We just want the answers."The answers, to which she is referring, are some of the most eagerly anticipated in recent years for school districts around Colorado...

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) - An undergraduate college degree in three years? It could be an option at the University of Colorado one day.The university confirms that it may consider joining colleges that offer fast-track undergraduate programs to those wanting to save money.Similar programs are already in place at campuses of Western Illinois University and the University of North Carolina.CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard tells the Daily Camera newspaper that college administrators have talked about the three-year degrees, but have not brought any formal recommendations.CU-Boulder's long-term "Flagship...

During winter break, a group of Mesa State College students explored the tropical Hindu lands of Southern India. India, with more than a billion people, an average annual income of $977, and a landscape that stretches from the highest peaks on the planet to the tropical lowlands of Kerala, is one of the greatest destinations on earth. No place challenges your pre-conceived notions of the world more than India. High rise luxury apartments stand adjacent to slums of a million people. Bustling markets sell everything from garlands of bright flowers and fresh vegetables to pirated Hollywood...

There are some really geeky history buffs around here. I'm one of them, Chris Brown at Brown Cycles is another, and the third Histrioteer (think: "Three Musketeers") is local author, Debbie Brockett.

PRISCILLA threw in a few extrasCutlines: Last week's article on drive-in movie theaters proved to be a crowd pleaser but I didn't receive a lot of stories to go along with the compliments. I think it's because we all have the same kind of collective memories of our experiences at the movies and that some of our best memories might best be left untold. It was awfully dark and crowded in those cars.My friend, Marcia, read my story and told me that in Monte Vista, Colo., they have the Best Western Movie Manor where May to mid-September you can rent a room, complete with sound and watch the movie...

The old days of the drive-in theater are alive and well and living just down the road in Delta and Montrose. If you haven't taken the time or lived up to that promise you made yourself - that you would go this year - then don't let yourself down, go to the drive-in. Even if the movie's a bomb, the experience is still the same.Sometimes for me and the hubinator, it's the last stop after a day down south or a fishing trip on the Grand Mesa. You can take your dinner in or get a hamburger and fries or pizza there. Illene Roggensack tells me that Miller's Deitch House in Delta is run by a...

My maternal Grandfather, Ralph Lee Barmore, called Poppy by his 11 grandchildren, was an inventor, an entrepreneur, a salesman and a highly regarded man throughout Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Colorado.He once had a job selling "Totalizers" to stockyards.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The line of people outside the soup kitchen was shorter than usual Tuesday.Grand Valley Transit buses were not operating Tuesday due to unplowed roads, and so the North Avenue homeless shelter for the first time in history allowed its guests to stay inside the shelter for the day.

A Loma woman conceived an idea that could potentially save taxpayers millions of dollars every year. It would also help veterans by allowing them to take the remainder of their hospital-issued medicines home with them after they've been discharged. Monday, President Barack Obama named Nancy Fichtner's idea as one of four finalists for the first-ever SAVE - Securing Americans Value and Efficiency - award. Fichtner competed with more than 38,000 other federal employees nationwide.In an effort to cut government waste, the White House invited all federal employees in October to submit ideas on...

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - The job for schools used to be simpler - teach the basics of arithmetic, reading and writing. And then starting around the beginning of the 20th century, business leaders and politicians decided to use schools for social engineering to get kids ready for the workplace for the first generation of the Industrial Age, said Jamie Vollmer, guest speaker at School District 51's seventh annual community partnership luncheon.As low-skilled jobs have disappeared, the model no longer applies, Vollmer said. In 1967, 77 percent of all workers in America worked in low-skilled jobs.

LONGMONT, Colo. (AP) - Dozens of baby turtles nursed to health at by reptile rescuers in Longmont are ready for adoption, months after they were illegally imported.Fifty tiny Asian soft-shell turtles were seized in March at Denver International Airport.

The shelter has reduced adoption fees and is offering discounted habitat equipment. But...

Colorado school districts would have to allow students and faculty to express their religious views on campus and to opt out of coursework that conflicts with their beliefs under legislation that gets a first hearing by state lawmakers on Monday.Outspoken social conservative Sen. David Schultheis has proposed district-drafted religious bills of rights, defenses against what he says are widespread threats to religious freedoms in public classrooms.Opponents argue that to some extent Schultheis' Senate Bill 89 restates rights that are already engraved in the First Amendment to the U.S.
