Friday, Jan. 29, 2021 5:03 AM A Durango city snowplow moves snow Tuesday in east Durango after a storm left several inches.

He has a set of hands that could wrap around the trunk of a Southern Live Oak the state tree of his native Georgia and a pair of forearms that could snap one in half.
It’s sometime in the 1930s in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh when he steps up to the plate and bashes a baseball that clears the ivy-veiled outfield walls of Forbes Field and soars into oblivion. The following day his Pittsburgh Crawfords are playing in Philadelphia, and from out of nowhere, a baseball falls from the heavens and lands into the glove of a surprised center fielder. The umpire points to the twenty-something kid named Josh Gibson and shouts, Yer out yesterday in Pittsburgh.
Tarentum will accept applications for a soon-to-be vacant seat on borough council until Jan. 4.
Council on Tuesday accepted the resignation of 1st Ward Councilwoman Erika Josefoski. Her resignation is effective Dec. 31.
Josefoski, 36, announced her intention to resign earlier this month. She said she did not have enough time to devote to council duties while also juggling multiple jobs and homeschooling while Highlands students are fully remote because of the covid-19 pandemic.
Josefoski said she also was considering moving closer to her work.
While council voted just Tuesday to advertise for
letters of interest for the seat, the borough already has one candidate, former Councilman Raymond Kerr.
