The FBI is also involved in the investigation. Asked if the activity had any connection to Kronos’ disappearance and whether Sternhagen was involved in any way, police spokesman Chris Barraza said only that the police and FBI were in Eagle River “as part of an ongoing investigation. At this time, we are unable to provide further details.” A FBI spokeswoman said in a statement that the agency is “providing requested law enforcement assistance. It is standard practice for the FBI to assist our local law enforcement partners if we have a tool, tactic, or technique that could benefit their investigations.” She referred any additional questions to the police department. Neighbor Roger Gaston said he’d noticed police cars parked on the street for weeks — an unusual sight in a neighborhood he said was mostly retired people and families. Gaston lives on Iris Way between Mercy Drive and Eleonora Street. At least once, the police were using dogs, he said. They focused on Kronos’ house, a neat ranch-style home painted black with white trim. “They seem to be keeping an eye on it,” Gaston said Wednesday from his front porch. Gaston said he’d heard a man from the area had been missing, and had seen posters up around town featuring Kronos’ face, but didn’t recognize him. The police department has provided no additional updates since Kronos went missing last month. Friends and family have distributed missing posters and held rallies to spread awareness that Kronos remains missing and to generate any leads into his disappearance. Kronos went by the name Joshua Kronbach until legally changing it in 2015. He was one of the first people Holly Gieryic met when she moved to Alaska in 2003. “I have a hard time meeting people but Josh opened up to me and was always so nice,” Gieryic said this week, adding that Kronos has “a community full of people that are not going to stop looking for him and searching for answers.” The police alert Wednesday encouraged members of the public to avoid the area of Mercy Drive and said the response could include drones. Catlin Mobley, a friend of Kronos since he was 13, expressed his gratitude to police, the community and the media. “I just want my friend to come home,” Mobley said Wednesday in a message. “I want justice for his family and to make sure that this never happens to anybody else in our little town again.” Michelle Theriault Boots is a longtime reporter for the Anchorage Daily News.

News | Apr 15 As the warmer spring weather returns to the mountains of Eagle County an extraordinary natural event is quietly unfolding beneath the surface of our rivers and streams local waters wake as the rainbow trout embark on their annual spawning clear waters of the American West Coast and introduced to Colorado around 1880 is one of Colorado’s most beloved fish species this trout is not only a favorite among anglers but also plays an important part in the local ecosystem typically occurring in late March through early May marks a pivotal time for these fish as they seek out their spawning grounds to create the next generation it’s time for the trout to return to their natal streams — the very streams where they were born — to spawn the Eagle River and its many tributaries are among the primary locations for this natural event As the snowpack begins to melt and water levels rise conditions become ideal for the fish to travel upstream in search of shallow gravel beds where they can lay their eggs The spawning process itself is a delicate dance Once the female rainbow trout reaches the desired spawning grounds she begins to clear a depression for a nest called a “redd,” in the riverbed using her tail the male trout moves in to fertilize the eggs with his milt and the eggs are left to incubate in the gravel bed protected from most predators and the high spring currents The colder temperatures of early spring offer ideal conditions for the eggs to develop slowly but rising water temperatures or fluctuating flows could threaten the delicate balance needed for successful spawning the trout face threats from human activities damming and water diversion can all disrupt the ecosystems in which these fish thrive as they flush out the spaces between rocks (called “interstitial spaces”) where eggs are laid Conservation efforts by local organizations are crucial to maintaining the health of the rivers and streams in Eagle County helping ensure that the trout can continue to spawn successfully year after year whose crimson hues intensify as they fight to claim territory and attract mates colorful fish swimming upstream against the current is a striking spectacle The spawning season provides an opportunity for residents and visitors to reconnect with the natural beauty of Eagle County’s waterways Whether by hiking along the riverbanks or simply sitting quietly by the water the experience can be both humbling and awe-inspiring it serves as a reminder of the fragility and resilience of nature Many anglers in Eagle County take advantage of the spectacular fishing opportunities in the pre-runoff spring waters it’s important to approach this time with respect for the fish and the environment Many local fishing guides and experts emphasize the importance of using sustainable practices to preserve fish habitats and maintain healthy ecosystems anglers are urged to use barbless hooks to minimize harm to the fish and avoid fishing in the shallower spawning grounds where the eggs are laid You may hear the line “don’t tread on the redd” as they nimbly wade the streams combined with ongoing conservation and stocking efforts help ensure that the trout population remains strong and sustainable for future generations The spawning season is a vivid reminder of the interconnectedness of nature and the role that our local community plays in protecting and preserving Eagle County’s thriving ecosystems for future generations improved water quality and sustainable fishing practices the rainbow trout population in Eagle County is robust and the Eagle River remains one of the most sought-after fishing destinations in the state Go to Admin » Appearance » Widgets » and move Gabfire Widget: Social into that MastheadOverlay zone The Eagle River Water & Sanitation District recently issued the following press release on its upcoming board of directors election: The deadline to request an absentee ballot is 4 p.m Voted ballots must be returned to the ERWSD designated election official by 7 p.m Voters may drop off their ballot or mail it to the ERWSD office at 846 Forest Road they may also drop off ballots on Election Day between 7 a.m at any of the three in-person polling places: the Eagle River Water & Sanitation District office in Vail a person must be an Eligible Elector of ERWSD an Eligible Elector is a person who is registered to vote in general elections in Colorado; and is either: Property that is owned by a legal entity such as a corporation or trust does not qualify a person as an eligible elector on the basis of property ownership Voter registration information is on the Eagle County Elections and Voter Information webpage ERWSD is divided into seven director districts, four of which are open in this election.

underscores our long-term commitment to unlocking value at Eagle River “Breanne and her team have done excellent work over the last several years which has resulted in multiple discoveries and laid the groundwork for further exploration We believe that now is the right time for Wesdome to assume ownership and build upon the work done by the Angus team With Wesdome’s balance sheet and free cash flow profile we can add significant value to the property and eventually bring economic deposits into production quickly given the proximity to our existing infrastructure.” “On behalf of the Board of

Mary of the Snows Anglican Church in Eagle River is getting a new rector that looks to have a positive impact on the community Kevin Cable comes from Israel and is very excited about being involved in the Eagle River community as well as the church Cable arrived in Eagle River about a month ago from Israel and it’s been a busy few weeks for the new priest “I think the highlight so far was actually the first week and I was here and it snowed quite heavily and the church is called St Mary of the Snows,” Cable said “I think we would of felt cheated if we arrived and there had been no snow.” Cable grew up in the United Kingdom and knew he wanted to be a priest around the age of 20 But first he took a different kind of job to prepare him for being a priest “I actually joined the police because I felt I did not have enough experience in life to be a priest," Cable said "Your dealing with lots of people in different circumstances and situations and I felt I needed to get some more life experience." After being a cop he went to Israel to start a small congregation near Tel Aviv He was living in Israel during the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict But he came to Eagle River when seeing a post about the church and watching a service and later applied and got the position “I’m a priest that likes to be outside of the church building," Cable said amongst the community and in Eagle River and there just seemed to be a lot of good opportunities to do that and get to know people and work with the local community and with other Christian denominations.” Cable is now excited to work in the community of Eagle River while continuing to grow the church and help people “We’re a traditional church but we are very much in the 21st century and moving forward with our faith as a member of our
