Colorado residents who renew their driver license or identification card online will now receive a newly designed card. Customers are always first in line when they renew online at www.colorado.gov/dmv.
Renewing online allows customers to avoid visiting a DMV office. It also offers individuals the opportunity to update their current physical and mailing addresses. Individuals may renew their driver license up to two consecutive times online. The most recent photo on file with the DMV is used when renewing online.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife now offers apprentice licenses and hunter education test-out options. The changes, effective April 6, 2016 are intended to encourage people to get active in the outdoors and interested in hunting.
Hunter education test-out options are available for U.S. military and individuals 50-years of age or older.
“Safety is our primary concern,” said Todd Schmidt, CPW’s hunter education coordinator. “The new options help recruit those who have the hunter safety knowledge and experience to get in the field.”

To celebrate its 100th anniversary, the National Park Service has launched the Find Your Park campaign. The Park Service is inviting Americans to discover parks near them. With this in mind, Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site (NHS) in southeastern Colorado has partnered with Washita Battlefield National Historic Site (NHS) in western Oklahoma to link two national parks that share common bonds of turmoil and suffering, sadness and hope, death and survival.

Our weather over the weekend had its ups and downs. The people around Eads had a scary time during the tornado warning and harsh rains. We're just glad that the damage was minimal. The rest of the County received some very beneficial moisture. I hear reports of 1 1/2 inches to 3 inches. Most of it came really easy and soaked in. I didn't hear of any damaging hail. Glad we didn't have the blizzard conditions they experienced along the I 25 corridor and in the mountains. You never know about these Spring storms.
