Newest Amazon facility on the Western Slope going in next to Montrose Regional Airport
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) – Construction has started for the latest Amazon facility on the Western Slope. A last-mile facility recently opened up near Grand Junction's regional airport and now, Montrose will soon have its own last-mile facility. The whole purpose of an Amazon last-mile facility is to make it easier to transport Amazon products to cities not near a major hub, like Denver, which is why the location next to a regional airport is ideal, because those airports serve the same purpose. Amazon bought the nearly 7.8-Acre plot of land from the Montrose Economic Development Corporation for almost 2.2 million dollars back in late March, but construction is finally underway. The project will bring both full-time and part-time job opportunities to the Montrose area. The buyer of the site was a secret until after the agreement was made due to confidentiality provisions in the contract. And while it's not a massive fulfillment center like you'd see over in Denver, these last-mile facilities serve just about the same purpose for mid-sized communities like we see here on the Western Slope.

I let my kid start wearing make-up aged 3 – she is now 10 & I've spent £1.5K on her 200 products, her regime has 9 steps
A 10-YEAR-OLD who started wearing make-up aged THREE has spent $2k (£1.5K) on over 200 products, has a nine-step daily skincare routine and describes herself as a "proud Sephora kid". Naiya White, 10, started wearing make-up at the age of three while performing at dance recitals. 3 3 3 Her mum, Ashley Paige, 38, was a make-up artist in her local Ulta store during the 2000s, and bought Naiya her first make-up item - an Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick costing $20 (£14.75) - in 2018. Since then, Naiya has developed a nine-step skincare routine and 11-step makeup routine - with $2,000 (£1.5k) worth of products - which takes her up to 30 minutes every day and refuses to be caught without seven lip glosses in her purse at once. She dubs herself a 'Sephora kid' - tweens and teens who are obsessed with skincare and beauty products, often visiting Sephora and similar stores to purchase and try products - and insists "you're never too young to start looking after your skin". Ashley, a graphic designer, from Grand Junction, Colorado, said: "The most important lesson I want Naiya to teach is: You can be a Sephora Kid and have a childhood. "For me personally, as a mum, I don't believe she needs all those products - I want her to have make-up and skincare and to play with them freely, if they're child-safe. "But, we don't believe in promoting overconsumption. moisturiser, cleanser and SPF." skincare advice. "I'm obsessed with makeup and skincare - I would honestly love to own my own skincare company when I grow up, or become a makeup artist. "I spend up to 30 minutes every morning on my skincare, and 15 minutes doing my makeup." 'Love these' shoppers cry as Primark launches new skincare range with £3.50 masks & SPF & it'll save you hundreds on the viral brand At the age of three, Naiya had already spent hours watching Ashley doing her skincare and make-up. By that time she began showing interest in playing with skincare herself and Ashley allowed Naiya to use her baby lotion, body wash and SPF. But her first make-up item, an Anastasia Beverley Hills liquid lipstick, was bought by Ashley just before Naiya was due to perform at a dance recital. "At dance, they require girls to wear red lipstick," Ashley said. "I don't believe girls should be wearing red lipstick or nail polish - it's a woman's colour. "I took Naiya to Sephora - we picked a very bright pink liquid lipstick. "That was her first, more prestige, item." At the age of five, and during the 2020 lockdown, Naiya began following tutorials by make-up artists Mikayla Nogueira and Jeffree Star, under Ashley's supervision. The tot became "obsessed" with shimmery looks, using glitter eyeshadow and eyeliner. Her make-up collection began growing, including more "prestige" items like $19 (£14) Laneige lip glosses and $30 (£22) Drunk Elephant skincare. Now, at the age of 10, Naiya has over 200 makeup and skincare items - and has spent $2,000 (£1.5k) - which she keeps in her vanity table, dresser drawers, and three make-up bags. Naiya said: "Most of my expensive make-up products I have are from Santa Claus. "I have 200 products - my mum had to turn my dresser into a vanity table so I could fill it with all of them." Ashley added: "Naiya is obsessed with Laneige, particularly lip gloss." A year after discovering her love for make-up, Naiya began watching skincare videos on TikTok, as well as accompanying Ashley to dermatologist appointments. Together, the mum-and-daughter duo have been reading into products Naiya can use safely - and Ashley says it's "great" she's looking after her skin from such a young age. Over four years, Naiya has created a nine-step skincare routine - including four steps in the morning and five steps in the evening. "A few years ago, I was going to Botox and facial peel appointments - Naiya would come with me and get very interested in them," Ashley added. "I share a lot of my skincare products with her, as long as they're age appropriate. "I think a lot of people forget that our skin is our largest organ - you can't really teach your child to take good care of their body and not teach them about their entire body. "We're happy to teach kids about eating healthy food, exercise and mental health, so why not about skincare?" The pair say they've received messages from critics on TikTok saying Naiya is "too young" to wear the products, after posting skincare videos together. But Naiya says people would still criticise her if she was suffering from skin issues. "If a kid has a bunch of breakouts, they'd tell them to take care of their skin more," she said. "But I do take care of my skin - and they just say I'm too young. "You have to be careful and educate yourself, because there are skincare products which can harm a kid's skin barrier. "But even babies have skincare products - I don't think you can be too young." Ashley added: "We're not saying kids should be using anti-wrinkle cream, or worrying about that. "But it's important for everyone to be protecting themselves from the sun, and keeping their skin moisturised."

People across Colorado plan demonstrations against Trump administration in ‘No Kings' protests
From left, John Arsenault, Janet Arsenault and Patty Guerrero join other demonstrators Saturday in Canyon View Park in Grand Junction for a local "No Kings" protest against the Trump administration. (Sharon Sullivan for Colorado Newsline) Demonstrators were expected to gather at Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park near the Colorado Capitol on Saturday afternoon during one of over 40 protests planned across the state to coincide with a military parade in Washington, D.C., and President Donald Trump's birthday. The Colorado demonstrations are part of a 'nationwide day of defiance' by the organizers of the movement, dubbed 'No Kings.' The national call for mass demonstrations is in response to the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts, federal funding cuts, defiance of judges in immigration cases and the planned military parade, which could cost up to $45 million. The administration says the parade is to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the creation of the Continental Army, also known as Flag Day. There has not been a military parade in the nation's capital since 1991 to mark the end of the first Gulf War. Trump critics characterize Saturday's parade as a theatrical display similar to ones hosted by authoritarian leaders abroad. There were similar protests in Grand Junction, Montrose, Alamosa, Lamar and along the entire Front Range. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX The protest comes after multiple demonstrations in Denver against deportation efforts by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including a march to an ICE detention center in Aurora on Monday and a large gathering at the Capitol on Tuesday evening. Law enforcement deployed smoke and pepper balls against a group of protesters that marched near the interchange of Broadway and Interstate 25 on Tuesday and made 18 arrests related to the demonstration. Early Saturday, two Democratic state lawmakers and their spouses were attacked in targeting shootings, leaving Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband dead, according to Minnesota authorities. The official website of the 'No Kings' protest expresses a 'commitment to nonviolent action.' Tension across the country has escalated since last weekend when ICE agents undertook raids at restaurants and workplaces in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. That prompted protests in the city, where there were some clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement. Trump then sent Marines and California National Guard troops, against state and local leaders' wishes, into L.A. Groups including Indivisible Denver Action and the Colorado chapter of 50501 organized a fair alongside Saturday's protest to host a food drive, music, games and showcase the work of various local activist groups. The 'No Kings' demonstration and fair is scheduled until 4 p.m. A separate protest, specifically against ICE, is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Capitol. 10 seconds ago 10 seconds ago A 'No Kings' protest Saturday started at 10 a.m. in Grand Junction.
