It would be the last hike of the season, Jessica Newton posted on her social media platforms. With mild weather forecast and Colorado s breathtaking fall foliage as a backdrop, she was excited convinced an excursion at Beaver Ranch Park would be the quintessential way to close out months of warm-weather hikes with her sister friends.
Still, when that Sunday morning arrived in 2018, Newton was shocked when her usual crew of about 15 had mushroomed to include about 70 Black women. There s a first time for everything, she thought, as they broke into smaller groups and headed toward the nature trail. What a sight they were, she recalls, as the women in sneakers and hiking boots, a virtual sea of colorful head wraps, flowy braids and dreadlocks, poufy twists and long, flowy locks trekked peacefully across the craggy terrain in the crisp mountain air.

Barry Clayton is trying to keep his holiday gift-buying trips as short as possible.Â
The 59-year-old Leasburg, N.C., resident has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and limited lung capacity, so that leaves him especially vulnerable to the deadly effects of COVID-19. I m avoiding crowds as much as possible, Clayton said in the parking lot in front of Ross store at Coleman Marketplace, where he had bought a couple of shirts for his sister. I m keeping my distance.
Most shoppers who spoke to the Dan Register & Bee at Coleman Marketplace and Danville Mall Sunday said they were buying more items online. Some started their holiday purchases earlier in the season than usual to keep away from large groups.Â

A 15-year-old boy is facing a murder charge in the fatal shooting of a retired Chicago firefighter earlier this month outside a Morgan Park popcorn shop.
The teen, who is not being named because he is charged as a juvenile, was unarmed at the time of the shooting. He was with two other people who had guns when they confronted 65-year-old Dwain Williams at gunpoint on Dec. 3 in an apparent attempt to rob him, Cook County prosecutors said in court today.
