Editorial: Fight to protect our right to enjoy Colorado’s rivers and streams from private landowners

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:13:38 GMT

Coloradans have known for generations that our large rivers and streams and the wildlife therein are publicly owned assets held in trust by the state for the enjoyment of all, regardless of private property status on and around the riverbanks.It is a fundamental concept that we see exercised across the nation from the beaches in California to the rivers and streams in New Mexico to the tidal waters in New York.We understand why courts nationwide have grappled with how to handle private property owners who mistakenly and often suddenly believe they can restrict access to navigable rivers and streams or coasts.But Colorado lawmakers can finally settle this absurd power struggle once and for all.Model legislation for making access and use of these publicly owned assets crystal clear already exists in multiple states, but we particularly like the aggressive access afforded in Montana legislation.It only became necessary for Colorado lawmakers to spell out in detailed and direct language...

Meet the Mannerist Monsters of Beck+Col

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:13:38 GMT

Beck+Col are an artist duo whose intertwined imaginations spawn marvelous, mannerist monsters. They then build worlds for these queer and regal surrealist beings to inhabit—only to shake it all up with stylish gore. Influenced by everything from gaming to cognitive science and chromatic theory, for Beck+Col the exaggerations and violence operate both as compelling spectacle and as a meta-critique of the extreme decadence of late-stage capitalism. Though ultimately works of performance and filmmaking, along the way, disciplines from couture to music, cinematography, choreography, and special effects come into play—as does a profound ethos of collaboration. Often the films are full of works of mixed media art made by their extended community of adventurous colleagues—and in service of their new work Red Night, the artists have staged an architectural installation at the art room in whose animated, aggressive color story they show clips from the movie among art and artifacts from the f...

There’s no doubt that last winter was a monster — or more like a series of them — and some of California’s roadways are still digging out. But that should not dissuade you from any California coastal road trip plans this summer.The Big Sur coastline is one of the planet’s most spectacular, but while a section of Highway One — near Limekiln State Park — remains off limits, a bit of creative re-routing presents an often overlooked region to explore. Approaching Big Sur from the south brings plenty of wildlife sightings, great food stops and plenty of fun to be had.The following itinerary offers a leisurely loop that is perfectly do-able in a weekend with something for every passenger in tow.Pass through PasoWhether you’re headed for San Simeon or Cambria, the Big Sur road closure makes traversing 101 basically unavoidable. That’s not a bad thing, though, when the first available cutover to the coast involves Paso Robles. As you hea...

Video from the Fresno home where he lives with his handler showed the 3-year-old Belgian Malinois climbing on top of his kennel and jumping from there over the yard’s 6-foot fence.By 8:30, Odin’s deputy partner realized he was gone, and the office put out a public call for sightings.That morning, Camryn Escoto made a Facetime call to check in with her uncle, who was watching her Fresno home while she was in Bakersfield. She told the Fresno Bee that as her uncle gave her an update on her German shepherd, she noticed another dog in the yard. “I’m like, w...
