Colorado lawmakers could delay gray wolf reintroduction until management agreement reached with feds

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:28:28 GMT

A bill from Western Slope lawmakers could push gray wolf reintroduction into next year despite the state’s long-standing plan to begin releasing them into Colorado’s wilderness by December.Colorado’s House Agriculture, Water and Natural Resources Committee on Monday approved Senate Bill 23-256, on an 11-to-2 vote, passing the measure to the entire chamber.In short, that bill would require state officials to wait until the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service grants state officials the authority to manage (in this case meaning capture, relocate or even kill) the wolves before they’re reintroduced into the wild.Because wolves are a federally protected species, state officials aren’t allowed to interact with a wolf “in any way, even if they’re attacking livestock or pets,” according to state Sen. Dylan Roberts, one of the bill’s sponsors.Authority from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service – formally called a 10(j) rule – would grant Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials the aut...

Keeler: Ugly side of Deion Sanders Effect? Angry CU Buffs parents, confused kids who felt forced into transfer portal. “They told everybody to go.”

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 11:28:28 GMT

Here’s the thing: Grant Page didn’t jump into the transfer portal when it opened. He says he was pushed.“I couldn’t have stayed (at CU),” Page, the former Buffs and Fairview wide receiver told me Monday. “I really wanted to. They said it was just best for me to leave.”They?“It was my position coach,” Page replied.Paradise sometimes comes with a cold, callous underbelly, growling beneath the profit and glory. Hiring Deion Sanders means owning the front page. It means having ESPN at your beck and call. It means documentary cameras at every turn.It means seeing Folsom Field filled to capacity for a glorified scrimmage in April. It means full houses for as far as the eye can see. It means pride and fun and wearing Buffs black and gold with caviar dreams and a spring in your step.It also means conversations such as the one Page said he had with new CU wide receivers coach Brett Bartolone this past Sunday. The one in which it was suggested he pack up his luggage (not Louie) and move on.“T...

The City of San Bernardino held a ceremony Monday to commemorate the demolition of the downtown Carousel Mall, which since it’s closing six years ago has been a breeding ground for all sorts of illegal activity.  Officials expect the demolition to take about two weeks as workers destroy the 43-acre mall piece by piece, with thousands of new commercial and residential units replacing the defunct structure over the next several years.  Frank Perez, the founder of ReWritten, a nonprofit that mentors kids from first grade through college and is based out of the historic Enterprise Building in downtown San Bernardino, told KTLA that the location of the organization's headquarters has posed challenges.  “We’re up on the third floor,” Perez said. “So, when we have young people in our spaces that are here for mentoring and academic support, the challenges we have had is not letting them get too close to windows because we’ve seen transients doing drugs, engaging in inappropriate a...
