Fox Foundation. We invite Durango and La Plata County to meet the team of four men, who in June of 2024 will set out to complete the World's Toughest Row, an ocean rowing challenge from Monterey, CA to Kauai, HI.   This event is a unique opportunity to engage with the adventurers whose goal is to explore and expand their capacity for endurance — mental, physical and spiritual — while engaging in endeavors intended to test their limits. The event will feature a question and answer session with the team, opportunities for photos, food, drinks and more.   All four members of Team Human Powered Potential, Brendan Cusick, Patrick Morrissey, Scott Forman and Peter Durso, will be in attendance at 11th Street Station speaking about this incredible self-supported mission where they row 24 hours a day - in intervals of two hours, for approximately 30-40 days. Team Human Powered Potential's goal is to raise $28M for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, in honor of the 2,800 miles they will cover. Thanks to an anonymous donor, all funds raised will be matched three to one.   "11th Street Station is proud to host this event because Parkinson's Disease is an issue that is near & dear to our hearts," said General Manager Carmen Drulis. "We hope the community can come together to celebrate this incredible endeavor by Team Human Powered Potential."   Friday's Meet & Greet event at 11th Street Station is the kick-off for a weekend focused on Rowing To Beat Parkinson's featuring the Boat Race Golf Tournament on Saturday, May 4th at Dalton's Ranch.

The San Juan Basin Archaeological Society invites the public to a presentation. At 6:30 we will have social time, then after a brief business meeting, Jeff Pigati and Kathleen Sringer with the U.S. Geological Survey will discuss " Evidence of humans in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum (Dating of White Sands footprints) " For log-in information go to SJBAS.ORG.    Archaeologists and researchers in allied fields have long sought to understand human colonization of North America. Questions remain about when and how people migrated, where they originated, and how their arrival affected the established fauna and landscape. Here, we present evidence from excavated surfaces in White Sands National Park (New Mexico, United States), where multiple in situ human footprints are stratigraphically constrained and bracketed by seed layers that yield calibrated radiocarbon ages between ~23 and 21 thousand years ago. Independent chronologic controls have recently confirmed these ages. This timing coincided with a Northern Hemispheric abrupt warming event, Dansgaard-Oeschger event 2, which drew down lake levels and allowed humans and megafauna to walk on newly exposed surfaces, creating tracks that became preserved in the geologic record. These findings confirm the presence of humans in North America during the Last Glacial Maximum, adding evidence to the antiquity of human colonization of the Americas and providing a temporal range extension for the coexistence of early inhabitants and Pleistocene megafauna.   Kathleen Springer is a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado. She specializes in deciphering complex stratigraphic sequences and reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions, and studies how springs and other hydrologic systems responded to climate change in the recent geologic past.   Jeff Pigati is a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado. His research is focused on understanding the response of hydrologic systems in arid environments to past episodes of abrupt climate change. He is also an expert in radiocarbon dating.

"Anne Hillerman is a star."—J. A. Jance, New York Times bestselling author   From New York Times bestselling author Anne Hillerman, a thrilling and moving chapter in the Leaphorn, Chee & Manuelito series involving several emotionally complex cases that will test the detectives in different ways.   Joe Leaphorn may be long retired from the Navajo Tribal Police, but his detective skills are still sharp, honed by his work as a private detective. His experience will be essential to solve a compelling new case: finding the birth parents of a woman who was raised by a bilagáana family but believes she is Diné based on one solid clue, an old photograph with a classic Navajo child's blanket. Leaphorn discovers that his client's adoption was questionable, and her adoptive family not what they seem. His quest for answers takes him to an old trading post and leads him to a deadly cache of long-buried family secrets.   As that case grows more complicated, Leaphorn receives an unexpected call from a person he met decades earlier. Cecil Bowleg's desperation is clear in his voice, but just as he begins to explain, the call is cut off by an explosion and Cecil disappears. True to his nature, Leaphorn is determined to find the truth even as the situation grows dangerous. Investigation of the explosion falls in part to Officer Bernadette Manuelito, who discovers an unexpected link to Cecil's missing wife.   Bernie also is involved in a troubling investigation of her own: an elderly weaver whose prize-winning sheep have been ruthlessly killed by feral dogs.   Exploring the emotionally complex issues of adoption of Indigenous children by non-native parents, Anne Hillerman delivers another thought-provoking, gripping mystery that brings to life the vivid terrain of the American Southwest, its people, and the lore and traditions that make it distinct.

In this fun-filled adult class, enjoy a glass of wine or other adult beverage, be exposed to variety of tips, tricks and techniques, as you create a One-of-a-Kind Painting of Love Graffiti!    All supplies, laughter, beverage and an exceptional teacher, Mike Scieszka, are included in this very special class.   This is also a great venue for engagement and bachelorette parties, baby showers, work parties, retirement parties and holiday events.

It trains your eye to see things that photographs just can't capture. This makes you more perceptive in all of your work—The biggest reason to practice with live animals is because it has so much to offer. Mastering the animal form is about more than just shapes and muscles and bones.   A $10 Tip or Chew Toy is Required for our models and will go directly to the LaPlata County Humane Society. Beginners are welcome! This class is also perfect for adults with previous drawing experience.
