A Honda Pilot collided with a school bus on Highway 73 in Marshdale on Tuesday afternoon, the Colorado State Patrol reported.

An artist with more than 30 years experience, Evergreen resident David Cuin has a vivid sense of reflected his creations.

Retired Marine and Evergreen resident Bill Purcell was barely 20 years old when he was thrust into one of the bloodiest conflicts in Vietnam.

Purcell tells the story of his platoon’s struggle to take back the ancient imperial capital from the North Vietnamese in an episode of the Military Channel’s “Ultimate Warfare” that aired on Feb. 26.
