The oldest port city in the world serves as inspiration for Jaffa Kitchen, an authentic Israeli eatery that opened in El Jebel in early February.

Lilah’s business partner, Alexei Rotaru, native to the Republic of Moldova and a trained finish carpenter, designed and built the bright, modern interior with help from A&L Construction. A wall of marble acts as backdrop to the restaurant’s most recent installation: a segment of 200-year-old wooden ceiling from a Moroccan
Thanks, Black Hills Energy
I would like to thank the team members at Black Hills Energy for the excellent job they did in repairing our furnace during a very cold spell in February.
We have been enrolled in the Black Hills Energy Service Guard program for many years. This program offers service on selected equipment in our household. Black Hills Energy kept this program in place when it took over the company from the former Source Gas.
In mid-February, our furnace quit working. When I called in for service, they arrived that same afternoon, Feb. 13. The service technician, Aaron Lee, showed up, introduced himself and was COVID-19 compliant in our household.

About 12 miles south of Carbondale on a gentle slope dominated by aging oak brush, a bulldozer fitted with an industrial-sized mulcher chewed through leafless trunks and limbs Thursday.
The work covering 29 acres on national forestland was invisible to traffic whizzing by on Highway 133 and from homes at the adjacent Swiss Village subdivision. But firefighters and public land managers considered it a small, vital step in what will be a long process to reduce fire hazard in pockets throughout the greater Roaring Fork Valley.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is pursuing additional safety improvements at the Basalt Shooting Range but does not plan any operational changes this year if drought and fire danger grow.
CPW area wildlife manager Matt Yamashita told the Basalt Town Council on Tuesday night that CPW moved heavy equipment onto the Basalt State Wildlife Area earlier in the day for fire mitigation. A bulldozer and heavy excavator will widen and clear an old road that was used years ago to install power lines. The road will fill a duel role of providing a firebreak and access to the upper reaches of state lands for emergency responders. The road is upslope from the pistol, rifle and shotgun ranges.
