Tularemia has been detected in Northern Colorado after a dead rabbit was discovered in a Berthoud neighborhood. According to Larimer County Department of Health and Environment, the bacteria was identified in a dead rabbit.  Health officials said that because tularemia is natural to Larimer County, it is likely present in other areas throughout the county.  They are reminding residents and visitors that a few simple precautions can help prevent illness from rabbits, ticks and other wildlife while enjoying the outdoors.  According to LCDHE, tularemia is a rare but potentially serious bacterial infection found in local wildlife, especially rabbits and rodents.

Health officials said it can spread to humans through bites from infected ticks and deer flies, direct contact with sick or dead animals and contaminated soil, water and vegetation.  Common symptoms, according to LCDHE, include fever, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and skin ulcers. When diagnosed early, tularemia can be effectively treated with antibiotics. In Larimer County, there have been seven human cases of tularemia since 2020. In Larimer County, there have been 7 human cases of tularemia since 2020.  “Because tularemia is present in Larimer County, it’s important to take steps to avoid infection,” said Dr. Paul Mayer, the health department’s Medical Officer, in a statement.

He recommends that residents and visitors always “use effective insect repellent, check skin for ticks after being outdoors, and keep children and pets away from wild animals, including rabbits and squirrels.” Additional Information from LCDHE: To help reduce your risk of tularemia,

LCDHE recommends the following precautions when spending time outdoors:

  • Wear gloves while gardening and wash hands before eating or touching your face
  • Use an EPA-registered insect repellent effective against ticks and biting flies (such as DEET or picaridin)
  • Wear a dust mask when mowing, using a leaf blower, or digging in soil
  • Wear shoes outdoors, especially in areas where dead animals may have been
  • Use protective gloves to remove dead rabbits or rodents from your property

Denver Public Schools will implement bell-to-bell cellphone ban

Denver’s school board unanimously passed a policy that will require students’ personal electronic devices to be turned off and put away while at school. This includes cellphones, smart watches, laptops, tablets and even wireless earbuds.  “It was a thoughtful community recommendation, not a top-down directive,” said School Board Director Marlene De La Rosa. “Number two was focused on educational outcomes, not punishment, as we really want to see this as a positive. It is focused on sustained attention, reducing distraction, [and] limiting social media harms during the school day.”

CBS In a survey of more than 7,000 DPS parents, teachers, students, and other community members, more than 60% were in favor of a bell-to-bell ban. That includes about ¾ of all staff surveyed. However, only 2% of students agreed. “I want to be really clear that this isn’t punishment, you know, that the adults, the leadership, the district wants what’s best for the kids, wants what’s best for their success,” said DPS parent, Jamie Chesser. Chesser has been a part of the community engagement process. “This is, in my opinion, the way that we need to go for children’s success, mental health focus, and also for the teachers,” Chesser added.

Young child rescued, in critical condition after falling into creek in Boulder County

Posted on by Leave a comment

Rescue crews in Boulder County found a child who was swept away in St. Vrain Creek on Tuesday after searching for over an hour. Multiple agencies joined in the search for the 4-year-old boy, who went missing around 3 miles northwest of Lyons just before 5:30 p.m. The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said the boy was with a relative when he fell into the water. The family member was initially unable to call for help due to a lack of cellphone service in the area. The child’s relative managed to find a place with service ten minutes later and called 911.

The BCSO provided an update later Tuesday night, stating the boy was one of two children who were initially playing in the water. One child escaped, but the 4-year-old could not get out of the creek on his own and was swept away. Rescue crews, including divers and drone operators, searched for the child for an hour and a half. He was found in critical condition around 7:07 p.m. and was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Marmot climbs into truck’s frame in Colorado, rides from Lake City to Broomfield

A marmot took an unexpected trip across Colorado this week after it climbed into the frame of a truck. The marmot wound up traveling more than 250 miles, from Lake City in Hinsdale County to Broomfield in the northwestern part of the Denver metro area. City of Broomfield Officials from the Broomfield Police Department described the animal as friendly, but said it took several hours of effort to get the animal out of the truck. Officers from their animal services division finally used a catch pole to get the animal out. The marmot was then transported to the Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center where it will be assessed before being returned home. “Poor guy, one minute he’s in Lake City and the next he’s in Broomfield!” Broomfield police wrote in a post on Facebook.

Colorado tourism railroad postpones summer operations due to drought conditions, wildfire concern

Posted on by Leave a comment

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (C&TS), originally scheduled to open its 2026 season on Saturday, announced earlier this week that it will postpone operations due to severe drought conditions and elevated wildfire danger across the region. C&TS management held an emergency meeting and voted to postpone opening until June 9. Management will conduct a review on June 2 to determine if condition are safe to operate and keep that date for opening, the rail road stated in a press release.  “With deep respect for the land, forests, and communities where we operate, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad Commission made the difficult decision to delay the start of our season,” said Mark Graybill, Colorado Commissioner of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad Commission.  

Guests holding reservations for affected departures have been contacted directly by the railroad’s reservations department. Passengers were offered the choice of either a full refund or rebooking on a later departure date.   Railroad officials emphasized that the decision was made proactively in response to evolving regional conditions. “This was a difficult decision because the railroad is vital to the Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico economies and our mission is to preserve and share this important part of history,” said Eric Mason, CEO of the C&TS. “We are committed to operating responsibly and safely within the remarkable landscape we have called home since 1880. We thank our passengers for their understanding and hope they will visit us when we resume normal operations.” Another railroad tour, the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, began operations in early May on schedule.

The D&SNGR settled a federal lawsuit four years ago and agreed to pay $20 million in damages following the 416 Fire near Durango in 2018. While an investigation found the fire started near the railroad’s tracks, the railroad denied and continues to deny that it caused the 416 Fire.

Thanks to the significant snowfall in Colorado’s mountains this week, Arapahoe Basin has announced it will be extending the ski season. The snowstorm totals from Tuesday and Wednesday ranged from a few inches in some places to over two feet in others. A-Basin said it received 9 inches of snow during the storm. In a post on social media, the ski area said it will be closed from May 11-14, but it will reopen again from May 15-17. “WHY? HOW?? Recent storms and our high elevation, in conjunction with our teams’ hard work all season long, are keeping us running for yet another weekend. This is what The Basin does; we read our mountain and its needs, and we adjust our operation accordingly,” the ski area said.

Denver Public Schools considering banning cellphones during school hours

Posted on by Leave a comment

Denver Public Schools is now considering a bell-to-bell policy, which would mean students wouldn’t be able to use their cellphones, not even during passing periods and lunch. It would also include other personal devices such as laptops, smartwatches, and wireless earbuds to prevent students from working around the phone ban. All Colorado school districts must establish their own cellphone policies according to law.

“We all just realized, once you know better, you need to do better,” said Sarah Almy Moore, a DPS parent and a member of the Communication Devices Advisory Committee tasked with creating the cellphone policy recommendation for the school board. “We heard from a lot of different people,” she said. The committee spoke with and heard from hundreds of students, teachers, parents, and even members of the school safety team when doing the research. “There’s 17 states that have implemented a bell-to-bell ban on devices,” Almy Moore said. “So this is not like a groundbreaking thing.

Man gets life in prison for firebombing pro-Israel demonstrators in Colorado

Posted on by Leave a comment

A man was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty on Thursday to killing one person and injuring a dozen others in a 2025 firebombing attack on a demonstration in Boulder, Colorado, in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Mohamed Sabry Soliman looked down at a desk throughout the sentencing at the Boulder district court. He has meanwhile pleaded not guilty to federal hate crime charges for the attack last June. Prosecutors are weighing whether to seek the death penalty in the federal case, according to his attorneys.

An 82-year-old woman who was injured in the attack later died. A dozen others also were injured. Soliman is an Egyptian national who federal authorities say was living in the US without documentation. Investigators allege he planned the attack for a year and was driven by a desire “to kill all Zionist people”. Speaking to the court through an interpreter for nearly a half an hour, Soliman offered apologies to the victims and condolences for Diamond’s death. “There are no words that can express my sadness for her passing,” Soliman said. He said he wasn’t asking for leniency at sentencing for his convictions in state court and wanted prosecutors pressing federal hate crime charges against him to seek the death penalty. “If I went back, I would not have done this as this is not according to the teaching of Islam,” Soliman said. “What I did came out of myself and only myself.” In a statement read earlier in court by a prosecutor, Diamond’s sons asked that Soliman not be allowed to see his family again “since he is responsible for our mother never seeing her family again”.

Andrew and Ethan Diamond said their mother suffered “indescribable pain” for more than three weeks before her death. “In those weeks, we learned the full meaning of the expressions ‘living hell’ and ‘fate worse than death’,” Diamond’s sons said in the statement. Tara Winer, Boulder’s mayor pro tem, said the attack was horrific and victims included close friends. Soliman had been living with his family in a two-bedroom apartment in Colorado Springs – about 97 miles (156km) away – at the time of the attack.

Heavy snow falls in Denver; see how much moisture this Colorado snowstorm will bring

Rain in the Denver metro area changed over to heavy snow early Tuesday evening. The temperature at 6 p.m. in Denver was 34 degrees, so the snow so far hasn’t been sticking on roads but that will change overnight as temperatures dip. Slick roads developed quickly during the afternoon drive in and near the foothills. A jack-knifed semi-truck slowed down commuters that were traveling along Interstate 70 near the Evergreen Parkway through early in the evening on Tuesday.

Xcel Energy confirms public safety power shutoffs for parts of southern Colorado

Posted on by Leave a comment

On Tuesday afternoon, Xcel Energy confirmed its plans to implement a public safety power shutoff in parts of southern Colorado on Wednesday. “Xcel Energy will implement a Public Safety Power Shutoff beginning around noon tomorrow, April 22, to lessen the risk of wildfire and protect public safety, impacting around 7,100 customers in Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla and Rio Grande counties,” the energy company said in a press release.

Forecasted strong winds and low humidity, along with dry conditions and a historically low snowpack, will create high wildfire risk in the San Luis Valley. The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning with a Particularly Dangerous Situation in the area. On Monday, the company announced that public safety shutoffs were possible. They later confirmed their plans to implement them. Xcel said it will monitor weather conditions throughout the day on Wednesday and will only de-energize the lines if extreme weather conditions occur. Conditions are expected to begin improving by 7 p.m. The company said restoration work will begin once conditions are safe for the crews.

They expect the process to take several hours, but service in some areas may not be restored until Thursday. Xcel encouraged customers to prepare for shutoffs in advance, particularly those with medical equipment that relies on electricity. Enhanced powerline safety settings will also be implemented statewide to mitigate wildfire hazards. This makes the lines more sensitive and can stop the flow of electricity if anything touches them.

Former Colorado deputy, arrested in Mexico, sentenced to 10 years for possession of child sexual abuse videos

A former sheriff’s deputy from southwest Colorado, who was on the run for months before being arrested in Mexico, was sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple charges related to possession of child sexual exploitation videos. Jesus Damian Nieblas was a deputy at the San Miguel County Sheriff’s Office until he resigned in June 2025. The following month, investigators from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant on his home in Norwood and said they found 27 child sexual abuse videos. Nieblas, now 29, was nowhere to be found, and a warrant for his arrest was issued. At the time, police believed he fled San Miguel County and a manhunt was launched.

State lawmakers bring bill to protect older Coloradans from financial scams costing millions of dollars

A new report by the FBI finds elder fraud has reached a record high, including in Colorado. Nationwide, more than 200,000 Americans over age 60 reported fraud last year, with losses of nearly $8 billion — a 37% increase over 2024. In Colorado, more than 3,000 seniors filed complaints, with losses of nearly $75 million. Debbie Fox is among them. In October of 2023, she met a man online and began video chatting with him. She knew people weren’t always who they pretended to be, so she did her homework.

She found his personal and professional websites, asked to see his passport, and verified his business registration. His story appeared to check out, but she soon learned it was all an elaborate ruse to steal $48,000. “With a signed loan agreement and a bank letter of loan guarantee in hand I withdrew money from my retirement account, transferred it to my U.S. Bank account and wired it as directed to the bank account of a registered a business in Florida,” Fox said. She realized too late it was a scam.

Interstate 70 reopened in Colorado’s mountains on Tuesday night, about five hours after a snowy afternoon pileup involving approximately 70 vehicles. The series of crashes happened before 3 p.m. in the eastbound lanes, close to the Eisenhower Tunnel, and left one person seriously hurt and a handful of others with minor injuries. Snow fell on and off during the day in Clear Creek County’s higher elevations, but at the time of the crash a quick burst of heavy accumulation and strong winds led to dangerously slick road conditions.
