Article Icon 1Feds Reviewing Wolf Program

The Interior Department is reviewing how Colorado Parks and Wildlife uses its authority to kill wolves, and it may amend the federal rules that govern the program.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered the review on Oct. 27 in a new secretarial order that cites wolf threats to human safety and persistent attacks on livestock.

The 15-day federal review follows a Trump executive order and targets the 10(j) rule, which lets the state manage wolves as a nonessential, experimental population.

Federal officials analyzed that rule in a September 2023 environmental review, and they will now recommend changes, including an updated agreement with the state.

Article Icon 1Bow Mar Gate Dispute Heads to Court

Denver and Littleton sued the town of Bow Mar on Monday in Denver District Court to stop its plan to gate off part of South Sheridan Boulevard.

According to the cities, Bow Mar approved a Sheridan gate south of West Quincy Avenue and plans to fully close Tufts Avenue to outside traffic.

The cities say the gates will make emergency response harder for their residents, and the suit argues Bow Mar wants to use their streets while closing its own.

The lawsuit asks the court to block the Sheridan gate and any future gates, and to make Bow Mar pay the attorney fees of Denver and Littleton.

Article Icon 1Guide: Veterans Day Deals

Veterans Day is tomorrow, and businesses across Colorado are offering veterans free meals, haircuts, and discounts. Most deals are dine-in only and require proof of service.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife is waiving state park entry fees on Nov. 11 for veterans, active-duty military, and National Guard members. National parks are free for everyone that day.

Free meals are on tap at Applebee’s, Golden Corral, Snarf’s Sandwiches, and Texas Roadhouse, according to a Veteran.com roundup, and Denny’s and IHOP are offering free breakfast.

The celebration continues Saturday, when Denver’s Veterans Day Parade and Festival comes to City Park with a 5K run, a 10K run, and a 10:30 a.m. parade.
