Landowners who want a voice in how Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages the Haswell and Tobe pronghorn antelope herds in CPW's Southeast Region should speak up now.

Region officials have begun the process of revising the herd management plans that will guide CPW for the next 10 years. 

To start, CPW mailed surveys to randomly selected landowners in game management units ranging, in general, from southeast of Punkin Center, southwest of Kit Carson, northwest of Campo and northeast of Branson.

Law enforcement agencies across the state cited 1184 impaired drivers during the Colorado Department of Transportation’s (CDOT) The Heat Is On Labor Day DUI enforcement period, which ran from August 18 through September 5. This number represents an increase from the same period last year, which reported 964 DUI arrests.

There are several active fires on the Blanco Ranger District. Lightning is forecast and potential for fire activity is high. Visitors are advised to check conditions before traveling to the backcountry, and to be vigilant in preventing human-caused fires.

Himes Peak Fire: The Himes Peak Fire is in the Big Fish drainage. It is 100% contained. Firefighters are mopping up the interior and rehabilitating the containment line.

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has ordered flags lowered to half-staff on Thursday, September 14, on all public buildings statewide in memory of Arvada Firefighter Lieutenant Jim Schaefer. Flags should be lowered from sunrise to sunset.

Schaefer, 58, died on September 10 after a courageous battle with cancer. He served as a member of Arvada Fire for more than 20 years, most recently as Lieutenant at Station 3. Schaefer loved serving the people of Arvada.  He is survived by his wife, three adult children, his mother, sisters and numerous nephews and nieces.

COMMISSIONER MEETING

SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 MEETING DATE

APPOINTMENTS:

The focus of the tournament will be to have each school get a lot of court time to build skills and experience. Start time for the first matches will be 9:00 a.m. Saturday, September 16.

 All “A” games will be in the New Gym and all “B” games will be in the Old Gym. All “A” teams will get 6 matches on the day and all “B” teams will get 3 matches. Each match will consist of two games played to 15 (cap 15). There will be no third match as in the past, and we will not have a tie breaker due to the fact that no champion will be chosen.

Note: This article has been updated to reflect additional earthquakes that occurred through 7:00 p.m. Wednesday.

A series of 322 earthquakes continue to be recorded east of Soda Springs, Idaho. The quakes began the evening of September 2 and have continued daily since then.
