POLICE UPDATESituation clarification: Local elementary school lockdown report Staff ReportThe Chronicle-News
Last Thursday’s situation at
Eckhart Elementary School was clarified by a press release from the Trinidad Police Department. The release says that on Thursday February 19, 2015, at approximate-ly 12:15 p.m., Trinidad Police De-partment officers were dispatched to Eckhart Elementary School on a report of a suspicious male party wearing all black and causing a disturbance at the school.
Upon arrival officers observed a male party who matched the de-scription on the 300 block of South High Street. The male party, later identified as Daniel Quintero, began running east and north through numerous yards and jumping fences as he went.
Due to the proximity to the school, administrators kept the school on “lock out” status and the children could not go outside for recess.
All of Trinidad’s public schools are on a permanent lock out sta-tus, meaning that all visitors to the schools must push a buzzer near the school’s main entrance doors in order to be allowed to enter by a school staff member. Eckhart El-ementary School was not on lock-down status during the incident, according to school officials. Infor-mation from police last Thursday indicated that the school had been on lockdown, but that information was incorrect. In a lockdown situ-ation, no one except law enforce-ment officers are allowed to enter

Colorado Parks and WildlifeSpecial to The Chronicle-News
In an effort to reduce stress and the distur-bance of wintering big game animals, the Colo-rado Parks and Wildlife Commission adopted a new regulation in January that limits shed ant-ler collecting in portions of Eagle, Pitkin, Gar-field, and Routt counties, effective March 1, 2015.
The new rule prohibits the collection of shed antlers in game management units 25, 26, 35, 36, 43, 44, 47, 444,and 471 from Jan. 1 through March 14, and only between the hours of 10 a.m. and sunset, March 15 through May 15. For a map of Colorado’s GMUs, go to www.cpw.state.co.us/Documents/Maps/R u l e s R e g s / B i g -GameGMUmap.pdf
“Available winter range in this area is being reduced due to increases in the human population, develop-ment, and outdoor rec-reation,” said CPW’s Northwest Regional Manager Ron Velarde. “If they are pressured during the cold weather months, big game ani-mals here have no place else to go to find food, so it is critical that people cooperate and respect the regulation to pre-vent animal mortality due to starvation.”
Similar restriction are already in place in game management units 54, 55, 66, 67 and 551 in Gunnison County, instituted several years ago to protect Gunnison sage-grouse and big game animals.
“Violators may be fined and assessed points against their hunting and fishing privileges,’ said Velarde.
Each year, male ungulates grow antlers used for display and battles with competitors during the fall mating season. By mid to late winter, the antlers begin falling off naturally and the pro-cess begins anew.
During late winter into early spring, consid-ered the prime collecting period, shed hunters fan out across the state in search of fresh antlers that artisans use to make furniture, knife han-dles and other art projects, or are sold to make dog treats and other creations. Often involving large groups or entire families, the practice is becoming more popular across the country and Colorado.
Wildlife officials believe most collectors are conscientious and careful, but concerns arise when some search for sheds on noisy, fast-mov-ing ATVs and off-road vehicles. In addition, a
growing number of collectors use dogs trained to find shed antlers. When allowed to run off-leash, many of these dogs chase deer and elk, oc-casionally causing severe injuries and extreme stress.
Running from noise and dogs adds to the difficult conditions the animals already endure during winter months.
“That’s just about the worst thing that can happen to them,” said Area Wildlife Manager Perry Will of Glenwood Springs. “Any unneces-sary movement during the cold weather months causes big game to use up their fat stores very quickly and there’s little chance of replenish-ing it. This situation leads to their death, or the
deaths of their unborn calves and fawns due to poor body condition.”
Wildlife managers remind shed hunters that keeping their distance from wintering big game is the most effective way to prevent animal stress and mortality. Even searching for antlers on foot or horseback can create stressful condi-tions for wildlife, they say.
“We understand that people enjoy hunting sheds, but we ask everyone to be legal and ethi-cal,” said Will. “The best option is to follow the laws and keep your distance, and maybe wait until big game has moved to summer range to begin looking for sheds.”
Colorado Parks and Wildlife urges anyone that observes illegal activity to contact their local wildlife officer, or to remain anonymous, contact Operation Game Thief at 877-265-6648. Rewards are available for information that leads to a citation.
For more information about the new shed collection restrictions, contact Colorado Parks and Wildlife’s Glenwood Springs office at 970-947-2920.
