The owners of Funny Cide shouldn't have anything to worry about, but one Carson City, Michigan couple has some swift livestock.
Barb Lambert & her husband, Pete Ondrus, don't own race horses ... they own cows.
They used to have 500 cows on their dairy farm. Now, they're down to three speedy heifers.
Barb says just about everybody races horses, but cows are something special. Barb & friends are now racing their cows regularly and, believe it or not, these bovines can really bring home the, er, butter.

An Ace & Friends followup to our news. It concerns lynx — those wild critters that look like overgrown domestic cats, but with sharper teeth and tufts of hair coming out their ears.
A century ago, they roamed over much of Colorado and then, in the 1970s, they were gone ... hunted out of existence.
Since the Canada lynx was reintroduced to Colorado several weeks back, we can report some success!
 Dawn Taylor of the Colorado Department of Natural Resources tells us about some baby lynx.

Dana Darien on the Tomb of the Unknowns restoration project. |

Historians are concerned. The hallowed Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington, Virginia has fallen on hard times. The 71-year-old marble monument is cracked on all sides.
It turns out the marble used to make the monument was from Colorado, so restorers are returning to the original quarry to find some matching marble.
Dana Darien is a local Marble, Colorado bread & breakfast owner; she's also the head of a local historical group that's been following the Tomb of the Unknowns story very closely.

The Tomb of the Unknowns was made from the largest block of marble ever produced in the U.S. — 110 tons. It was quarried from the Colorado Yule Quarry in 1931. It was trimmed to 55 tons, then shipped to Vermont for finishing.
