The Routt County Sheriff’s Office has a Public Information Officer. Tabitha Callies has been a patrol deputy for about a year, but she will be the Public Information Officer as well.
“I’m looking forward to being able to communicate accurate, reliable, and fun information to the community from the sheriff’s office.”
Callies came to Routt County to work for Colorado Parks and Wildlife at Stagecoach State Park before becoming a Routt County Sheriff’s Officer. “After the county stole my heart and a little bit of peer pressure from the Sheriff’s Office I changed my career and joined Routt County Sheriff’s Office. Serving my community has been the most rewarding job I’ve had and I look forward to seeing where it takes me!”

The Discovery Learning Center has received a national accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children. It is an extensive process to be recognized and a sign of high-quality early childhood education. Less than 10 percent of all child care centers, preschools, and kindergartens nationally achieve this recognition.
The Hahns Peak Vertical Trail Race was Sunday in North Routt County. 110 racers ran eight miles, with four miles of that climbing 2,220 feet in elevation to the top of Hahns Peak and the fire lookout tower. It’s an elevation of 10,839 feet with 360-degree views. The final push to the summit is a slippery scree field.
