With Thanksgiving nearing, carrot E. coli outbreak offers new concerns for Coloradans

By Alan Gionet | CBS Colorado Word of yet another E. coli outbreak has shaken shoppers 10 days ahead of Thanksgiving. More than a dozen brands of organic carrots are now recalled with warnings to consumers not to eat them. One person is known to have become ill in Colorado, but the recalled products were all produced by Grimmway Farms and sold under a variety of brand names. They were shipped directly to retail distribution centers nationwide in the United States. There are 39 known cases total across the country in 18 states with one death. "I mean it's part of a larger problem, right? When you de-regulate industries, when you make food safety not a priority," said one shopper Monday night in Denver. READ THE FULL STORY AT CBS COLORADO

Colorado’s wind and terrain plays a big role in forecasting snow

By Joe Ruch | CBS Colorado Colorado's topography is unique. The lowest point is on the Eastern Plains with an elevation of 3,317 feet where the Arikaree River flows out of Yuma County. The highest point is atop Mount Elbert with an elevation of 14,438 feet (about half the cruising altitude of a commercial jet).   This significant difference in elevation can help play a pivotal role in deciding which place will be the big winner during a snowstorm. Three major features that drive northern Colorado's weather include the Front Range Mountains, the Palmer Divide, and the Cheyenne Ridge.  Keep in mind, as air rises all the moisture is squeezed out like a sponge, leaving the air warmer and dry. With that said, you want to be on the rising side (upslope) of the wind direction f...

Long-running Colorado animal sanctuary facing “a lot of hurdles” during critical fundraising period

By Ashley Portillo | CBS Colorado The founder of an animal sanctuary in Adams County says because of a cellphone company cutting her phone line and that leading to her landline phone not working, she's down thousands of dollars. With winter coming, she's now worried about how she's going to keep nearly 200 animals fed. Maxine Mager is the owner and founder of Creative Acres, a nonprofit organization which provides no-kill and free-roam sheltering to animals like horses, pigs, and chickens among many others. She says because of the phone issue, she could not get the word out about her fundraising efforts. "They cut my line and apparently they cut it five times. I haven't had a phone for over a month," said Mager. "During that time, we couldn't do any fundraising through t...

Amendment H is on the ballot in Colorado as a result of a scandal involving the state’s highest court

By Shaun Boyd | CBS Colorado Among the ballot measures Colorado voters are considering on Election Day is one that may seem like it's a no-brainer. It is Amendment H, which deals with judicial discipline. Supporters say it will pull back the veil of secrecy in the judiciary. Amendment H is on the ballot as a result of a scandal that exposed a lack of transparency and accountability in Colorado's judicial disciplinary system. Beginning in 2019, Denver Post reporter David Migoya about the state supreme court's involvement in a widespread scheme to cover up judicial misconduct. Former Chief Justice Nathan Coats was censured and resigned. Investigators accused other justices of obstruction, retaliation and intimidation. In the wake of the scandal, the legislature referred Amendment H ...
