Jane Burk and daughter Rachel have opened Twig Woman Herbs in Mancos. Burk believes in natural medicine and her herbs are a big part of that.
Ive been into natural medicine for about 20 years, she said. I got involved in it because, well, I have a family and the medications I was giving them werent working. So, Ive been educating myself, with the help of some phenomenal herbalist friends.
Burks new store is inside Geeks on Grand, 145 Grand Ave. in Mancos. Burk has dry herbs that can be used in a variety of ways, essential oils and tinctures.

Blanding businessman Shelby Seely brought in $800 in pennies to pay the remainder of his property tax assessment. A conflict over Seelys property values has yet to be resolved between the Board of Equalization and the Assessors office, so Seely paid with pennies. Im in the coin counting business so I only think it is fair that they have to count coins too, said Seely. The weight of the pennies necessitated several trips from the truck to the county offices.
