Longmont Channel 1 launches July 2 2013
Jul 2nd
“In a way Longmont is the largest growing city in Boulder county and our research shows the people here want their own Channel 1. We have a lot of advertisers from Longmont too” said Jann Scott ceo of Channel 1 Networks.
Longmont Channel 1 is our NEW TV station Newspaper for the city with News, Food, Fashion, Home and Garden. As we get press releases from the city, police, schools and community organizations we will file stories just like we do in Boulder. But these will be Longmont only.
We are looking for community volunteers to help with stories and local news video.
Send press releases or video to : Ron Baird, news editor rebaird@indra.com. Advertising contact Allison Winchester 303 442-4334
No warnings for fireworks’ violators; police will issue tickets (for real)
Jun 22nd
But they still have to catch you in the act
For the second year in a row, Boulder police are announcing a zero-tolerance policy for fireworks violations. It’s illegal to possess or explode fireworks within city limits and violators will be cited — or possibly arrested — depending on the offense. Anyone starting a fire while using fireworks could face additional arson charges.
Fire danger is very high in Colorado, as we have seen recently with the multiple wildfires burning around the state, and Boulder Police Chief Mark Beckner says he is concerned about protecting residents. “We are taking a cautious approach again this year, because we want everyone to be safe. Fireworks can be dangerous, and this kind of “fun” can turn into an emergency very quickly,” said Beckner. “Because our focus is community safety, the Boulder Police Department will not tolerate fireworks violations.”
Residents will notice increased patrols leading up to the holiday and on July 4th; extra officers will staff Chautauqua Park, Boulder Reservoir and Folsom Field. The Boulder Fire-Rescue Department is currently conducting additional “severity patrols” on the outskirts of the city, and extra firefighters will be on duty during the fireworks show at Folsom Field.
“Given our recent weather patterns, we know it’s going to be another hot, dry summer,” said Boulder Fire-Rescue Chief Larry Donner. “People should understand that they don’t need to live in a forest to experience a disastrous fire. We want everyone to remember the holiday as a celebration, rather than as a marker for a tragedy.”
Police are asking the public for assistance: anyone who sees a fireworks violation is asked to report it immediately to Boulder police. Officers need the location of the violation and descriptions of the people involved.
The non-emergency number for Dispatch is 303-441-3333. Please call 9-1-1 if there is an emergency or a fire.

The heat is on–partII
Jun 13th
Due to a Boulder County fire ban, the City of Boulder has implemented a City Manager’s Rule banning all sources of fire including camp stoves and smoking on all Open Space & Mountain Parks (OSMP) properties. OSMP imposes these bans during extreme fire hazard conditions for public safety and resource protection. Fire danger is currently at a very high level.
In addition, users of the following City of Boulder parks are prohibited from using park charcoal grills and no charcoal grills may be brought into the specified parks due to the proximity to natural lands and forests, until further notice:
● Chautauqua Park, located at Grant Street and Baseline Road
● Eben G. Fine Park, located at 3rd Street and Arapahoe Avenue
Gas grills are only allowed in the Chautauqua Park green area and in Eben G. Fine Park with a permit. To obtain a permit, the Parks and Recreation Department requires two weeks’ notice and a $100 deposit. Eben G. Fine Park also requires a shelter rental. For information, call the Parks and Recreation administrative offices at 303-413-7200 or visit www.BoulderParks-Rec.org.
Violators are subject to criminal prosecution with penalties up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine. OSMP and Boulder firefighters appreciate the public’s cooperation.
