‘When you are at that podium, the last thing on your mind is this’: Sen. Cory Gardner, who Trump rallied for in 2019

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain voice Some 43 years ago a small child in Yuma, Colo., on the far Eastern Plains of the state would end his days in prayer for President Ronald Reagan's health after a would-be assassin's bullet hospitalized him. That was 1981. Today, that small child is known as former U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, who once again finds himself in prayer for a President and the nation. "My mother tells the story," Gardner said. "She says I prayed every night for President Reagan and Mr. Brady. I'm now 49 years old praying the same prayer." He never expected another assassination attempt in America, or to personally know the President who was shot. "It is a despicable and vile act of cowardice," Gardner said, reflecting on the shooting and intended assassination of P...

In Yuma, May hailstorm causes post office service transfer to Wray, other locations

By The Yuma Pioneer The status of the Yuma Post Office remains a fluid situation to say the least — with its closure now lasting at least 90 days, likely longer. The post office operated on a limited basis following the May 20 hail storm, due to significant water damage. It finally was announced earlier this week that the Yuma Post Office was moving all its operations to the Wray Post Office beginning Wednesday. Mail still is being delivered in Yuma, but the mail carriers have to go to Wray to sort their routes, then come back for delivery. Therefore, expect mail to be delivered later than usual during this time. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE YUMA PIONEER

In Yuma, after state law forced end to Indian mascot, school still has no mascot images

By The Yuma Pioneer The Yuma Outlaws don’t have a good image, at least not yet. Yuma School District-1 is turning to the public to help come up with the proper imagery. That was the direction the Y-1 Board of Education gave Superintendent Dianna Chrisman during its regular monthly meeting, Monday night at the District Office. The issue of “Mascot Graphic Planning” came up toward the meeting’s end. As most know, state legislation forced Yuma to drop “Indians” after nearly 80 years. The Yuma schools went without a mascot name for one school year. The community, through a tournament-type process, eventually selected “Outlaws” last September.
