Feed bears and they will eat
Sep 23rd
The City of Boulder reminds residents that this is the time of year when bears are foraging for food, in preparation for their winter hibernation. It is important that residents take measures to deter bears by securing any potential food sources on their properties.
Bear-proofing food items and trash is the best way for residents to minimize the chances that bears will show interest in their property. Common bear attractants include garbage, compost, bird feeders, food from outdoor grills, pet food left outside and fruit from trees. The city recommends that residents store garbage and compost bins in a garage or shed until the morning of collection, or keep their waste in a bear-resistant trash container. Residents within the city limits of Boulder can contact Western Disposal at 303-444-2037 to purchase bear-resistant trash containers.
Bears that learn that people are a source of food are sometimes killed to keep the public safe. Over the past six years, five bears have been killed in the city because of nuisance behavior or a threat to public safety. Please do your part to ensure that bears are not unnecessarily attracted to your property.
If there is a bear in your backyard, the following tips are recommended:
Keep your distance. Back away slowly from the bear, ensuring it has a clear escape path;
Never run. Running may cause a bear to chase you;
Never approach a bear, or get in between a cub and its mother;
Never provide food to a bear. This teaches it to approach people for food;
Do not let the bear become comfortable around your home; and
Once you are safely inside, do your best to scare the bear away. Yell, clap your hands and make other loud noises to encourgage the bear to leave.
If the bear is threatening human safety, pets or destroying property, call the police at 911. Report past bear sightings and encounters at 303-441-3004.
The city is in the final stages of developing the Black Bear and Mountain Lion component of the Urban Wildlife Management Plan (UWMP) and has prepared a draft version for public input. To view the draft plan and submit feedback, visit www.boulderwildlifeplan.net. Feedback provided prior to Sept. 28 will be incorporated into the Oct. 18 memo for City Council’s consideration.
Boulder Fire Department and the University of Colorado hold fire training for CU resident advisors
Aug 9th
The training includes:
· Smoke evacuation from a residence hall using non-toxic theatrical smoke
· Fire extinguisher skills practice on live fire
· Classroom activities & case studies using fire-damaged materials from actual fires involving CU-Boulder students
· Panel discussions with CU police and Boulder Fire Rescue & residence hall directors on “What to Do While You Are Waiting for Emergency Services to Arrive”
The student-based program is in its tenth year, and has become a national model for fire safety training on college campuses around the country.
“It’s an honor for CU-Boulder to partner with the Boulder Fire Department in the development of a national fire safety model for college students,” said Deb Coffin, interim vice chancellor for student affairs. “The program is grounded in fire safety practices and student feedback, and we’re confident it’s making a difference in the safety and health of our students.”
Training sessions start at 8:00 a.m. and go through noon on Thursday on the CU campus, Farrand and Libby residence halls.
For fun, RAs and students will also have the chance to test their skills with fire hoses, shooting Frisbees with water from a fire engine adjacent to Farrand Field.
Some of the tips which will be provided during the training include:
· Always evacuate when a fire alarm sounds.
· Find the nearest exit, which may not be the most familiar route.
· Use the stairs – not elevators – when evacuating. Elevators can trap you between floors or open onto a fire floor.
· If you are trapped and can’t evacuate, call 911.
· Make sure the smoke alarms in your rooms have fresh batteries.
· Take responsibility for your own safety.

US under attack! Al Qaeda begins Holiday bombing campaign to USA #boulder
Nov 1st
Sophisticated bomb techniques show Engineering types seem to be involved
Al Qaeda has sent multiple bombs on passenger planes from Yemen. Some were shipped to Chicago synagogs but were interdicted by the FBI. More importantly the White House says “there may still be bombs out there.” US stops shipments from Yemen.
Al Qaeda picked Chicago because president Obama is from there. Osama bin Laden appears to be behind this round of attacks as america’s election season is under way. It also marks the beginning of Al Qaeda Holiday terror campaign. This sophisticated bomb designer has been identyfied and is the same as last Xmas underwear bomber.
This Halloween event shows once again that the USA is still under attack and at war with radical Muslim Islamics from the middle east. These were religeous in nature since it is aimed at Jews and Christians. Iraqi security forces stormed a Catholic church Sunday where gunmen suspected of having ties to al Qaeda were holding worshippers hostages. The US usually down plays the religeous connect.
The Obama administration has stepped up special forces operations consistent with Bush Doctine. Radical Islamic cells exist in over 125 countries where Muslim wars continue according to Boulder’s Soldier of Fortune magazine which recruites soldiers for private armies.
Though the US mainland misssed the bullet on Halloween day it is clear the US was attacked and the war goes on. boulder leftists often blame the USA for Muslim attacks on our homeland.
Just yesterday the Colorado Democrat party has asked for a Grand jury Investigation into the causes of 911. Promoted by 911 conspirasistsl which believe president GW Bush and Osama bin Ladin organized the bombings of the World trade centers in New York. This theory is considered in extremely bad taste by the Obama administration.
