It is at the same ranch where five other calves have been killed by a wolf, according to the Middle Park Stockgrowers. They also say another calf was killed and another is missing, but that hasn’t been confirmed by CPW.

The infamous Tugboat bar in Ski Time Square near the ski area is slated for demolition review Monday evening. The owner/applicant to tear down the Tugboat is Brian Bavosi out of Washington D.C. However, the Historic Preservation Commission recommends denying the demolition permit because of the architectural and historical importance of the Tugboat building in Ski Time Square which has been sitting vacant for over a decade. The meeting is at 5 p.m. in Centennial Hall on 10th Street Monday and the public is invited and public comments will be allowed.

Bears are out. There are some triplets over by the mountain, running around Burgess Creek. If you see those bears, aggressively haze them to re-teach them to be afraid of humans. Make a lot of noise and yell at them. You can also call the local Colorado Parks and Wildlife office and they can help. Also make sure to lock your car doors and shut your ground-level doors and windows. And always check to make sure your garage door is shut.
