(Courting pickleball growth:: More pickleball courts are popping up across the Grand Valley to meet demand) - Tim Harty, The Business Times Randee Bergen started playing pickleball at Lincoln Park about 11 years ago when there were only four courts there to play a sport that was steadily growing and gaining a foothold nationally. Not long after that, the pickleball craze dwarfed the court availability, which in turn quelled Bergen’s desire to keep playing. “It got so crowded, you couldn’t get on the court really, so I quit,” Bergen said. A year ago, she returned to Lincoln Park and resumed playing pickleball where tennis courts once prevailed, but now only pickleball courts are to be found, 20 […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/48ji1O

(Outgoing council pushes through Whitman Park redesign funding) - Brandon Leuallen, The Business Times In a 4–3 vote, the Grand Junction City Council approved a $231,000 design and engineering contract for the long-debated Whitman Park revitalization. The decision, made during the final meeting for several outgoing members, underscored divisions over process, priorities and the city’s approach to homelessness. The vote passed with support from Mayor Abe Herman and Mayor Pro Tem Randall Reitz, both of whom are leaving the council, along with Councilmembers Anna Stout and Jason Nguyen, who remain. Had the decision been delayed until the newly elected council took office, the outcome may have looked different. Grand […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/79CrV3

(Effective Listening: Enhancing communication in all relationships) - Communication is the foundation of any successful relationship, whether in business, personal life or social interactions. At its core, effective communication starts with listening. Yet, listening is often one of the most neglected skills. Many people hear words, but they don’t truly absorb the meaning, intent and emotions behind them. Instead, they focus on preparing their own response rather than understanding the speaker’s message. Poor listening skills and ineffective communication lead to a range of problems, including workplace dysfunction, disengaged employees, unsatisfied clients, strained marriages and disconnected families. Frustration, distrust, resentment and misunderstandings often stem from the inability or unwillingness […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/kkPkM3

(In case you thought elections cure tone deafness, I present the Grand Junction City Council) - Oops, they did it again. That’s right, after being rejected outright in the latest, ill-timed, usually-low-voter-turnout-to-benefit-progressives, springtime elections, our city council once again generously served up another slice of cake while completely ignoring the voice of the people who screamed loudly on April 8, “We don’t want your ideas, follies or leadership anymore!” I’d say they have deaf ears, but that would imply they are at least attempting to listen to the people. Instead, in their alternative Grand Junction universe our Feckless Foursome of “Abe the Sausage King of Grand Junction (and if you don’t get the joke, this column […] Read the full article: https://is.gd/nVO7ui
