Reine, 18, began riding bulls five years ago. He is one of 9 bull riders competing through the Colorado High School Rodeo Association. “My mom’s still a little terrified,” said Reine, whose injury history includes numerous concussions, cracked ribs, broken fingers, a cracked vertebrae, dislocated shoulder and a broken shoulder blade.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. — At a quiet city council meeting in April, council members voted unanimously to spend $400,000 on a mile-long dirt patch along the side of Patterson Road. The city bought the right to use the land from the Grand Valley Irrigation Company, and is currently designing a 10-foot-wide path that will be installed next spring. That south side of Patterson currently has no sidewalk, though footprints, tire tracks and trash cover the dirt for a mile between 24 ½ Road and 25 ½ Road.
