It’s a topic they’ve been raising concern about for several months now.“We’re working with our insurance to make sure there’s no liability for the agency, so we will be looking at reopening the trail probably in the next few weeks,” said Carlos Quintero, General Manager at Sweetwater Authority.Community members from Alpine and the surrounding area near the Loveland Reservoir finally got the first glimmer of hope as to when the reservoir might reopen.Recreation has been cut off since early this year, but residents were devastated when Loveland was first drained, killing off the fish in November 2022.“When you destroy an ecosystem like that, it does not come back.

Mayotte is by far the poorest corner of France, but its average annual income of around $3,500 is still more than double that in Comoros. This has created a powerful pull.“How can they imagine for a second that (the ope...
