    Tonight in Denver — Protesting President Trump’s Sell Out to Mining & Drilling —

    Countdown clock to protest President Trump’s attacks against national monuments

    DENVER — Wednesday, January 24th a group of outdoor industry leaders and conservation organizations will project a countdown clock on the McNichols Civic Center in protest of President Trump’s sell-out of national monuments to mining and drilling interests.

    President Trump’s recent removal of vast portions of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase Escalante national monuments was the largest ever elimination of protected areas in U.S. history. Within those proclamations are provisions that allow private companies to begin staking mining and drilling claims in the areas cut from the monuments within 60 days of their signing.

    As the Outdoor Retailer show makes a new home in Colorado, we can’t forget the unprecedented attacks on public lands that forced the show to move from Utah in the first place. In less than two weeks, the extractive industry will gain privileged access to Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, while Native American nations, outdoor enthusiasts, and everyday Americans could see these lands made off limits. Tonight is about raising awareness of the imminent threat not only to these two national monuments but to public lands everywhere if we don’t make our voices heard. — Lisa Pike Sheehy, VP of Environmental Activism, Patagonia

    The 60-day countdown clock, which ends at 9:00 am ET on February 2, will be projected outside of the Outdoor Retailer + Snow Show’s “Night Zero” welcome party. This is Denver’s debut of the $45 million Outdoor Retailer show after a public split from Salt Lake City, UT, over the state’s harmful public lands policies. This week’s show comes just seven weeks after Trump eliminated protections for more than two million acres, which is now being challenged in five separate lawsuits.

     

    WHEN: Wednesday, January 24th  7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. MST

    WHERE: McNichols Civic Center building, 144 W Colfax Ave Denver, CO 80202

     WHO: Patagonia, Conservation Lands Foundation, The Wilderness Society, and Center for American Progress.

    — Charging Colorado’s Electric Vehicle is Full Steam Ahead —

    Gov. Hickenlooper announces details of the Colorado Electric Vehicle Plan

    January 24, 2018

    DENVER —  Gov. John Hickenlooper, along with leaders from several state agencies, announced details of the Colorado Electric Vehicle Plan. The plan’s goal is to electrify Colorado’s transportation corridors and support economic development and tourism across the state while reducing harmful air pollution, delivering on a directive set forth in the July 2017 Executive Order, “Supporting Colorado’s Clean Energy Transition.”

    “The Colorado EV Plan serves as a roadmap to build out a fast-charging network, giving Coloradans the ability to travel anywhere in the state in an EV,” said Governor John Hickenlooper. “The plan includes a set of goals and strategies that ensure Colorado continues leading in adoption of EVs and leverages the economic development and tourism benefits.”

    The plan was developed in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC), Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). The agencies and council undertook an extensive stakeholder engagement process with utilities, government entities, non-governmental organizations, and industry representatives.

    The plan details a series of actions supporting EV infrastructure along Colorado’s corridors. It also lays out goals to accelerate adoption of EVs and ensure Colorado remains a leader in the EV market.

    Colorado EV Plan Five Key Action Areas:

    1. Create strategies and partnerships to build out EV fast-charging corridors.

    2. Coordinate with Regional Electric Vehicle West memorandum of understanding states on Intermountain electric corridor.

    3. Develop strategic partnerships with utilities, local governments, and other stakeholders.

    4. Update signage and wayfinding requirements to include EV fast-charging.

    5. Ensure economic and tourism benefits and increase access for all Coloradans.

    In October 2017, the governors of eight Western states signed the Regional Electric Vehicle West memorandum of understanding (REV West MOU). The REV West MOU created a framework for collaboration in developing an Intermountain West Electric Corridor. Interstates 70, 76 and 25 are included under Colorado’s commitment to the REV West Plan.

    The Colorado Electric Vehicle Plan will be updated on an annual basis to ensure Colorado remains responsive to a rapidly-changing market.

    Denver, CO – Jan. 21-27 is officially Colorado School Choice Week, thanks to a proclamation from Governor John Hickenlooper. Gov. Hickenlooper joins dozens of other governors and hundreds of city and county leaders nationwide in issuing similar proclamations.

    A child’s success is best achieved when their educational experience matches that of their personal learning style. As we celebrate School Choice Week, let’s keep in mind that nothing is more important to a child’s future than the educational opportunities before them. — Governor John Hickenlooper

    Across Colorado, more than 550 events will raise awareness and spark conversations about the educational options parents have, or want to have, for their children during National School Choice Week, Jan. 21-27, 2018.

    More than 32,000 independently planned events will take place nationwide. Events include rallies, roundtable discussions, coffeehouse meet-ups, festivals, school fairs, and more.

    Colorado parents, like parents everywhere, want choices for their kids’ education. We’re excited that Colorado will officially be part of the celebration of opportunity in education. — Andrew Campanella, president of National School Choice Week

    Held every January, National School Choice Week is an independent, nonpartisan, nonpolitical public awareness effort designed to shine a positive spotlight on effective education options for every child.

    What to Watch on TV…

    Colorado is featured on

    America’s Forests

    with Chuck Leavell 

    —Jan. 25—

    Series Demonstrates How Vital Forests are to Well-being and Economic Health of Communities 

    DENVER – Colorado takes the stage in the next episode of the new national TV series, America’s Forests with Chuck Leavell. The series explores challenges, opportunities and innovations happening in America’s forests, and the Colorado episode will air on Rocky Mountain PBS on Thursday, Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. MST.

    Chuck Leavell may be best known as the keyboardist and musical director for The Rolling Stones, but he is also an educated and enthusiastic forestry advocate, conservationist and tree farmer. As host of the new series, Leavell serves as the on-camera guide, travelling across the country to interview people who are passionate about the gifts we get from our woods and exploring creative solutions to complex problems impacting this important natural resource.

    The search for solutions to the problems of sustainable growth, climate change and energy conservation is increasingly inspiring thought leaders to look at one of America’s finest resources — our forests. Whether for building or for recreation, our forests are good for the economy and for the spirit. —   Leavell

    Colorado is featured in the second episode in the series and includes segments on the therapeutic value of our forests, the importance of forests to our water supply and the innovative ideas on turning the wood from forests devastated by the mountain pine beetle epidemic into musical instruments, skis, snowboards and sustainable building applications.

     

    Using the episode as inspiration, conversations on forest health, management and utilization with voices that represent a variety of perspectives will take place during a special film premier event on Jan. 24 at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. A private VIP reception will kick off the event and include remarks from Leavell, Governor John Hickenlooper, Tony Tooke, Chief of the U.S. Forest Service, and Chris Topik, Director of Forest Restoration at The Nature Conservancy. At 7 p.m., the public is invited to a showing of the Colorado episode and an intimate fireside chat hosted by Leavell alongside Brian Ferebee, Regional Forester for the Rocky Mountain Region of U.S. Forest Service; Jim Neiman, President and CEO of Neiman Enterprises; and Paige Lewis, Deputy Director/Director of Conservation of the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy. A limited amount of tickets is still available to the film premier and fireside chat by RSVP’ing online at /tiny.cc/chuckleavallcolorado.

    Public and private partners across the country are working hand-in-hand to both care for and create sustainable solutions using wood from our forests. This important work is vital to a healthy forest environment that provides world-class recreation, wildlife habitats and scenic beauty. Through the stories in the series and special events, we hope to educate and inspire citizens to become everyday champions. — Bruce Ward, president of Choose Outdoors

    The series is produced by Choose Outdoors and 42 Degrees North Media and the Colorado episode was made possible with support from the U.S. Forest Service, Denver Water, Colorado State Forest Service, Intermountain Forest Association, El Pomar Foundation, Rocky Mountain PBS and the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

  • Update — Federal Heights: Man arrested in arson case

    Update — Federal Heights: Man arrested in arson case

    PRESS RELEASE

    ***Update***

    The suspect, Steven Truetken, was taken to the Adams County Detention Facility overnight and is being held on multiple charges, including criminal attempt second-degree murder.

    The Federal Heights Police Department obtained a search warrant for the residence located at 2033 Moselle St Federal Heights, CO. Once obtained the Adams County Bomb Unit began the process of searching the home using their robot. The robot locates, retrieves, and dismantles any suspected devices.

    The search continues, however numerous improvised explosive devices (IED) or suspected IED have been located and are in the process of being recovered. At the time of this update, approximately twelve devices have been recovered and made safe, two additional suspected devices are being worked on, and additional devices have been identified and are pending retrieval and rendering safe.

    The department can confirm that devices located overnight by the bomb unit have proved to be volatile. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) personnel are on scene in a support role in order to collect samples for testing at their laboratory.

    The scene is stable; however, the process of retrieving and dismantling these devices can pose a threat. Although residents have been allowed to return home, access on the street is restricted. The search and collection of evidence is expected to take considerable time and residents will be provided access to their homes once today’s activity has been suspended. The home will remain secured by the Federal Heights Police Department overnight and the search of the residence will recommence in the morning.

    Updates will be periodically released as information is developed.
