Delta County officials are working on playing a role in 77-year-old Montrose resident William Babbelâs efforts to upgrade a flagpole along U.S. Highway 50, a move aimed at ensuring Babbelâs project long outlives the man himself.
The county is in discussions with Babbel and the Bureau of Land Management about being named in the right-of-way permit the agency has agreed to grant so Babbel can erect a 20-foot flagpole in Delta County on the east side of the highway between Grand Junction and Delta. The site is across the highway from where an American flag now flies from a shorter pole near the well-known âChristmas treeâ blue spruce.

The proposals also mandate lobstermen use weaker vertical buoy lines designed to break under 1,700 pounds of tension to help mitigate whale entanglements in fishing gear.
