Boulder Soda Tax 2019 Health Equity Fund awards
Dec 6th
Do you know Boulder has hungry people. Here is a way we try to feed them
The City of Boulder has announced funding awards for 40 programs promoting health equity for city residents who are low-income or otherwise experiencing health disparities. Funded programs will address health promotion, general wellness and chronic disease prevention for at-risk populations.
During its Dec. 4 meeting, the Boulder City Council approved disbursement of $4,648,702.72 in total funding for 2019, through the Health Equity Fund (HEF), a community funding program created with revenues collected from the Sugar Sweetened Beverage Product Distribution Tax (SSB Tax). Program activities will include distribution of healthy and fresh foods, physical fitness, nutrition and wellness education, direct health services, increasing access to child care, health care and other services related to health improvement.
The city coordinates annual competitive HEF fund rounds where agencies can apply for funding for programs that meet the tax legislative intent and other HEF criteria. The Health Equity Advisory Committee, which includes a diverse group of community members, review applications and make funding allocation recommendations to the city.
In November 2018, city voters approved ballot measure 2D, allowing the city to retain all SSB Tax revenue for the HEF. Any revenue that is not allocated through the fund round will carry over for allocation for future funding opportunities.
The list of 2019 HEF funding allocations is available on the HEF website. For more information, please contact Elizabeth Crowe, Health Equity Fund program manager at 303-441-1928 or crowee@bouldercolorado.gov.

The City of Boulder’s Open Space and Mountain Parks Department (OSMP) has implemented seasonal wildlife closures to protect sensitive areas where birds of prey nest and raise their young.

- 6 peregrine falcons
- 5 prairie falcons
- 3 bald eagles
- 3 golden eagles
- 7 ospreys
All designated trails near these closure areas will remain open during these seasonal protective measures, which will be in place from Feb. 1 to July 31.OSMP has closed the following sensitive wildlife areas:

OSMP will lift closures if monitoring conducted by staff and volunteers indicates raptors are not present or if nesting attempts fail. OSMP relies heavily on the public to respect the closures, and the cooperation of visitors is greatly appreciated. OSMP rangers patrol closed areas on a regular basis.

3 black men rob, carjack 3 white CU sorority girls at gun point!
Oct 2nd
It is not a racial thing, except that it is. Boulder is 92% white. Black youth toughs cruising around the hill in a car are prime suspects and targets for police profiling. Although profiling is illegal, it is the way cops catch criminals who are brown or black. It is a racial odds play. Yes there are some rich black kids who go to CU… like about 10 out of 20,000 rich white kids.
CU boulder has always been a target for black, brown and Asian gangsters

from Denver.. Here is the police report:
Boulder police investigate robbery
“On Oct. 1, 2017 at approximately 10:00 p.m., officers were dispatched to the Pi Beta Phi sorority house, 890 11th St. in response to a robbery that had just occurred.
Three females were sitting in a vehicle outside the house when they were approached by three males wearing dark clothing who had either bandanas or ski masks covering their faces. The males opened the front and rear passenger doors of the vehicle. One was holding a black handgun and yelled at the women to get out of the car. All of women exited the vehicle and ran from the scene. One suspect was seen inside the car and shortly afterwards all of the suspects fled westbound on foot.
One of the suspects is described as a dark-skinned male and another was wearing a dark colored t-shirt with a light colored long sleeve shirt underneath and was average height and weight.
No one was injured during the robbery and it appears as though theft was the suspects’ motivation. No arrests have been made and police continue to investigate.
The case number is 17-12986.
Anyone who may have additional information about this case should call Detective Sharon Ramos at 303-441-3323. Those who have information but wish to remain anonymous may contact the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
