FALSE ALARM EVACUATES CRAIG MIDDLE SCHOOL

 

A false fire alarm during the noon hour cleared Craig Middle School today.  According to Craig Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Dennis Jones a fire alarm pull was activated, setting the fire department into action and causing the school to be evacuated. After firefighters quickly determined that there was no danger, students were allowed back into the school.   Our calls to the Middle School and School District offices to inquire if they have determined how the alarm was activated have not been returned.

MOFFAT COUNTY PARCEL SEES HIGHEST PRICE PER-ACRE IN BLM LEASE SALE

The Bureau of Land Management’s latest oil and gas lease sale has raised over $1-million.  Over 4,000 acres were auctioned off.  The highest per-acre price was paid in Moffat County, where Context Energy bought up 164 acres for $750 an acre.  Over the last year, Moffat County has seen a dramatic increase in interest from oil and gas companies.  The state gets 49% of the proceeds from the auction, with the remainder going to the federal government.  In 2011 Colorado received more than $154 million from royalties, rentals and bonus bid payments for all federal minerals, including oil, gas, and coal.  Leasing land doesn’t bind companies to development, as additional planning, environmental analysis and public input must occur before drilling can begin.

 

MEASURE INTRODUCED TO DRUG TEST WELFARE RECIPIENTS

A Republican measure to require drug tests for Colorado welfare recipients before they get benefits got its first approval amid criticism that it unfairly stigmatizes low-income people.  Republican Rep. Jerry Sonnenberg says the intent of his bill is not to pick on any group but to ensure government funds are going to people who need it, not to people who have money to buy drugs.  A House committee voted in favor of the bill on a party-line vote with Democrats voting against. Opponents say the bill draws on negative stereotypes of minorities and low-income people who are being used as scapegoats during tough economic times.

 

TIPTON SKEPTIC ABOUT NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND WAIVER

One Colorado lawmaker isn’t all that excited about President Obama’s decision to exempt the state from the No Child Left Behind Act.  It’s not the exemption Congressman Scott Tipton has a problem with, but rather the stipulations that come with it.  The Department of Education says in order for Colorado to receive the exemption, it must demonstrate that it has college ready and career ready expectations for all students, implement teacher and principal evaluation and support systems, and assure that it will evaluate and revise administrative requirements to reduce duplication and unnecessary burden on districts and schools.  Tipton says that amounts to giving the federal government control over the state’s education.  Alternatives to No Child Left Behind are being proposed in Congress, Tipton being a co-sponsor of one of those bills.

 

LAWMAKERS PROPOSE “MAKE MY DAY BETTER” LAW

A Republican measure to give businesses the ability to use deadly force against suspected intruders got initial approval in the Colorado House. The Republican-controlled chamber approved the proposal yesterday on a voice vote, with Democratic opposition.  Colorado residents already have legal protections for using deadly force against intruders under a law known as “Make My Day.” The bill expanding protections is dubbed “Make My Day Better.”  Several other attempts to pass the bill have failed. It’s expected to pass the House this year but will likely fail in the Democratic-controlled Senate.  Supporters of the bill say business owners and employees should be protected from costly prosecutions if they defend themselves. But opponents say the legislation would give businesses too much power.

 

COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE APPROVES MERGER IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has adopted their final merger implementation plan.  The plan was approved at the department’s monthly meeting yesterday.  It provides the basis for officials to begin the process of organizing the staff of 880 employees and merging the state’s parks and wildlife programs.  It will also be used to develop a report on the progress of the merger, which will be presented to lawmakers at the end of the month.  The plan covers capitol development, customer service, field operations, marketing, education, and other services.  You can view the plan by clicking here.

 

17TH ANNUAL ARTWALK AND TASTE OF CHOCOLATE TOMORROW IN DOWNTOWN CRAIG

The 17th annual Art Walk and Taste of Chocolate, sponsored in part by Colorado Northwestern Community College, takes place in downtown Craig tomorrow night.  People can stroll through downtown shops, listening to live music, while stopping for a taste at the chocolate competition.  There will also be a soup and bowl sale at the Museum of Northwest Colorado.  Chocolate tasters will be able to vote for their favorite, and artisans will be on hand displaying and selling their work.  The event starts at 5 tomorrow.
