The cycle of life keeps on moving in the Denver Zoo as new born animals become part of the zoo family

The doors of the zoo may remain closed, but the cycle of life never stops for anything.

Jake Kubié, the communications director at the Denver Zoo, "We have two lion cubs, a rhino calf, and a zebra colt."

Newborn baby animals have become very popular on social media and have become a favorite for many animal lovers. The staff says that they are ready to make a public appearance.

Bert Vescolani, CEO of the Denver Zoo, said, "I think our animals are very ready to reopen again, as we walk around the zoo. They are curious, they are like, 'where did everyone go?'"

The zoo had applied for permission for reopening under the 'Safer at Home' order put in place by the state earlier in May. The strategy submitted by them asks to allow them to open with all the social distancing guidelines. The state had not responded to the variance, but the staff says that they are doing everything to be prepared for reopening.

"We have planned and prepared and got the zoo in as best possible readiness that we can to re-engage our community and bring it back to the Denver," explained Vescolani.

According to Vescolani, the most important guideline is to wear a mask. All the people coming to visit and all the staff will require to wear a mask.

Westminster Uninhabited property in demand to be removed when neighbours spot rodents on the property

A house that caught fire around two years ago and has not been inhabited since then now sits in the middle of Yates Court. A fence surrounds this house as an old tarp which flaps during winds. A neighbour expresses his concern saying that it bothers him seeing the tarp breakdown and float into his yard. The grass has grown more than a foot in certain parts, and rodents were also spotted there. Tiffany McKee is worried about the rats as well as the asbestos issue. Denver got in touch with the owner who told that he is looking forward to reconstructing and returning into his house. But presently, he is going through a civil case with the asbestos contractor, and he cannot work on his land until that case is settled. The authorities of Westminster city told that they are aware of this situation but could not give any further explanation on how they will act upon in this case.

Colorado Education Association trying to save cuts in education budget with taxes

Colorado's largest teachers union is suggesting an emergency tax relief bill to raise revenue due to the growing gap of $3 billion budget due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Colorado Education Association (CEA) had a virtual meeting on Wednesday to review and distribute budget according to different needs a day after the state cut $500 million from the next year's higher education budget.

"The notion that our schools and students will bear the brunt of the cuts needed to balance the budget is unacceptable," said CEA President Amie Baca-Oehlert.

Some cuts are also expected for K-12 education.

According to school officials, the schools still lack the full budget, and the budget cuts made during the Great Recession still has an impact.

CEA had further proposed cuts for other departments and a stop on accountability systems like standardized testing.

"The state last year spent about $24 million on standardize testing — again, that's a place we can look to put a pause on assessments," Baca-Oehlert said.

This week Governor announced that $510 million would be provided to help K-12 schools from CARES Act, but it is unclear whether those funds will offset cuts to the education budget.

The Joint Budget Committee is still working on the budget and had not announced any final decision on K-12 budgets.

Nueva noticia sobre: Cuerpos de seguridad abaten a seis hombres en 90 minutos

José D. Sequera | LA PRENSA de Lara - El inicio de la semana en Barquisimeto fue de sangre después que ayer y en sólo 90 minutos, seis hombres murieran en distintos tiroteos contra funcionarios de las FAES y de la BRI, cuerpos de seguridad pertenecientes a la Policía Nacional Bolivariana (PNB), pues eran buscados para ponerles los ganchos.Las FAES fueron las que iniciaron las operaciones policiales. Eran las 5:30 de la mañana cuando los funcionarios, supuestamente, intercambiaron disparos contra Yender Javier Arriechi Mujica (22) alias "Virolo" en Santos Luzardo, líder de una banda delictiva que se dedicaba al robo y hurto. "Virolo" hizo caso omiso a las órdenes de los policías, por lo que decidió accionar su arma, generando el tiroteo, recibiendo un balazo fulminante en el pecho. Este hombre tenía tres entradas policiales, dos de ellas del año pasado por drogas y robo genérico, y otra del 2014 por robo de gandolas. Media hora después, se registraron dos plomazones con otros dos abatidos. Una de ellas fue en una casa de la carrera 2 del barrio El Carmen, en el que resultó abatido Jean Carlos GonzálezFréitez (39), alias "Jeans", quien tenía entradas por homicidio, robo, hurto y distribución de drogas entre 1999 y 2010. Según contaron vecinos de la zona, una ráfaga de tiros los despertó en el amanecer, pero no sabían qué estaba sucediendo. "Eran las 6:00 de la mañana cuando escuché los tiros, me asomé y vi que estaban los funcionarios de las FAES saliendo en una camioneta llevándose al muchacho muerto", dijo uno de los vecinos de "Jeans". Mientras que en el segundo tiroteo de las 6:00 de la mañana, murió Moisés Antonio Herrera Barreto. Herrera, según una fuente policial, pertenecía a la banda del "Misaelito", y también tenía un registro por robo de vehículo en el 2015. Supuestamente, se enfrentó con un revólver a los funcionarios en una casa, ubicada en el barrio El Turbio. A las 6:30 de la mañana y en una casa frente al estadio La Tomatera en el sector Tierra Negra se registró la cuarta plomazón. Allí, José Castillo (56), alias "Guarapo de Uva", hizo frente a las FAES con balazos, pero cayó muerto con un balazo en el pecho. Este delincuente tenía nueve entradas policiales entre 1984 y 2016 por hurto, lesiones personales, robo, posesión y tráfico de drogas, además de violencia física. Los últimos dos abatidos se registraron a las 7:00 de la mañana. Keiner Hibrahin TorresMonge, murió en un tiroteo con las FAES en La Carucieña tras ignorar la voz de alto que le dieron, pues él, supuestamente, pertenecía a una banda delictiva dedicada al hurto. Al mismo tiempo en la avenida 13 con calle 4 del sector Valle Lindo 2, de El Cují, funcionarios de la Brigada de Respuesta Inmediata (BRI) abatieron a Vilmer Reinoso Escobar (32), quien tenía dos entradas por droga y resistencia a la autoridad en 2009 y 2018. "A su familia la sacaron de la casa" Familiares de Jean Carlos González Fréitez (39), uno de los fallecidos en los 6 tiroteos que hubo ayer en Barquisimeto, específicamente en El Carmen, afirmaron en la morgue del hospital que los funcionarios llegaron a su casa para llevarse a toda su familia. "A su esposa y a sus cinco hijos se los llevaron porque les dijeron que tenían que firmar unos papeles, y dejaron a Jean Carlos con ellos en la casa. Después de ahí, no sabemos que pasó", comentó un familiar. Tanto sus familiares como vecinos contaron que él había estado preso en Cepella, Portuguesa, por hurto, hasta noviembre de 2019, y después de su liberación se había metido a comerciante. "Él estaba vendiendo torticas de arroz con su esposa en Barrio Unión", dijo una vecina. Síguenos en nuestras redes sociales como @laprensalara. Estamos en Twitter, Facebook, Instagram y Youtube.
