Colorado Allocates $1 Million to Mitigate Human-Bear Conflicts Across the State

Colorado is distributing $1 million through the Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s (CPW) Human-Bear Conflict Reduction Grants program to fund 17 projects aimed at reducing interactions between humans and black bears. This initiative comes as the state has experienced a record 10 confirmed bear attacks this year. Governor Jared Polis emphasized that these data-driven strategies are crucial for ensuring the safety of both Coloradans and wildlife. Since its inception in 2021, the grant program has disbursed a total of $3.9 million. The funded projects include $100,000 for bear-resistant trash bins in Manitou Springs, $35,000 for a dumpster enclosure system at a new preschool in Eagle, $33,000 for electric fencing at the YMCA of Northern Colorado, and $100,000 for a secure trash system in Minturn's commercial district. These measures are designed to address the issue of bears seeking human food sources, particularly discarded trash, when their natural diet is limited due to environmental factors like late freezes o...

Norfolk Woman Reunites with First Responders After Surviving Cardiac Arrest

Norfolk Woman Reunites with First Responders After Surviving Cardiac Arrest

Carolyn Savage, a Norfolk resident, recently reunited with the first responders who saved her life after she suffered a cardiac arrest at PBR in Norfolk. Savage was celebrating her birthday on July 24 when she collapsed. Norfolk Police Sgt. Kenny Aldrich, working private security at the venue, immediately began chest compressions after realizing Savage had no pulse. PBR staff assisted by clearing the building and retrieving an automated external defibrillator (AED). Norfolk Fire-Rescue's Medic One and Engine One arrived shortly after, continuing CPR and using a defibrillator to restore her pulse. Savage was then transported to a hospital where doctors determined she was having a heart attack and received a stent. Months later, Savage met with Sgt. Aldrich and members of Norfolk Fire-Rescue to express her gratitude, stating, "I wouldn't be here today" without their swift actions. She emphasized that the experience has given her a "second chance" at life.

Earliest Snowfall Dates Highlighted Across the US; Alaska Braces for Heavy Snow

A winter weather advisory has been issued for parts of Alaska, forecasting snowfall of up to 11 inches in the Eastern Alaskan Range, particularly near Donnelly Dome, Trims Camp, and sections of the Richardson Highway.

Aurora City Council Opposes Colorado Proposition 132 and Repeals Retail Theft Mandatory Minimums

Aurora City Council Opposes Colorado Proposition 132 and Repeals Retail Theft Mandatory Minimums

The Aurora City Council has approved a statement opposing Colorado Proposition 132, which aims to establish mandatory minimum prison sentences for certain fentanyl-related offenses. The resolution passed with two 'no' votes from Councilmembers Angela Lawson and Stephanie Hancock. Proposition 132 would make fentanyl laws more punitive, classifying the sale, possession, and distribution of any amount of fentanyl as a level one drug felony. Some low-level offenses would also require court-ordered treatment and mandatory minimum jail sentences. Additionally, the council cast a final vote to repeal mandatory minimum jail sentences for retail theft, a measure previously enacted by a conservative-majority council before the November 2025 election as part of 'tough on crime' efforts. This decision follows December 2025 Colorado Supreme Court rulings in People v. Camp and People v. Simons, which determined that municipal ordinances cannot impose penalties exceeding state law for identical conduct. City Attorney Pet...
