    Resentencing the Mother-Daughter Duo Behind the Sunset Mesa Body-Sale Scheme

    A mother-daughter duo involved in a notorious body-sale scheme are scheduled to be resentenced on February 14th, 2025. Megan Hess, who ran Sunset Mesa Funeral Directors and Donor Services in Montrose, and her mother, Shirley Koch, had previously pleaded guilty to mail fraud in connection with the scheme. However, their original sentences—twenty years for Hess and fifteen years for Koch—were recently overturned by a federal appeals court. The court found errors in the way the District Court had calculated the offense levels and losses to victims.

    Revolutionizing Primary Care: Trailhead Clinics' Patient-Centered Subscription Model

    Dr. Rob Boyer, founder of Trailhead Clinics, has developed a subscription-based primary care model in response to the limitations and pressures of the traditional healthcare system, which he believes undervalues primary care. For $99 per month, patients receive 24/7 access to a wide range of medical services, aiming to improve healthcare accessibility without replacing insurance. Boyer’s approach prioritizes meaningful doctor-patient interactions and seeks to address the growing demand for more personalized, patient-centered care, particularly in rural areas.

    Montrose Voters to Decide on $200 Million Bond for New High School in November

    The Montrose County School District Board of Education has decided to put a nearly $200 million bond measure on the November ballot, asking voters to fund the construction of a new Montrose High School. The proposed project, which would replace the aging facility with a modern, 247,000-square-foot building, has sparked debate among board members, with most supporting the initiative but one member expressing concern about the high cost and economic impact. If approved, the project would result in a significant tax increase, and the decision will ultimately rest with the community in the upcoming election.

    Colorado Man Arrested for Alleged Violent Threats Against Public Officials and Law Enforcement

    A 45-year-old man from Cortez, Colorado, named Teak Brockbank was arrested by the FBI for allegedly making multiple violent threats against public officials, including Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, over social media. Brockbank, who has a history of criminal activity and possession of firearms despite being a convicted felon, is accused of threatening to harm law enforcement, election officials, and judges involved in decisions he opposed, including the removal of Donald Trump from the Colorado primary ballot. Federal prosecutors are arguing for his detention, citing the seriousness of the threats and the danger he poses to the community.

    Montrose Debates Controversial Camping Ban Amidst Public Outcry

    Following a recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld a ban on public sleeping in an Oregon town, Montrose is considering a similar camping ban, which has sparked significant controversy. The proposed ordinance would impose fines and jail time on repeat offenders, but residents and advocates argue that it unfairly targets the homeless, who lack alternative shelter options. Despite city officials’ claims that the ban regulates conduct rather than people, public opposition has been strong, with no residents speaking in favor of the ordinance during a council meeting.
