Today's riddle: The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Scary tales of wildlife encounters has officials warning: Keep Halloween pumpkins inside (kdvr.com) — If you're grabbing pumpkins at Jared's Nursery in Littleton, wildlife officials want you to keep them indoors this Halloween to avoid drawing hungry bears and other animals into neighborhoods. After a year of unusually frequent bear sightings across the metro, including Ken Caryl and Denver, residents are urged to decorate inside windows and call CPW or animal control if wildlife gets tangled in decorations.
• Colorado PetSmart Lawsuit Over Grooming School Policies (wearemontrose.com) — Colorado is suing PetSmart over its grooming school, and Littleton is one of the cities most affected, with four local stores among 35 statewide. The state alleges the "free" training saddles workers with thousands in debt if they leave early and provides a certificate with little value elsewhere, raising concerns for local pet owners and employees alike.
• The Supreme Court faces another term jam-packed with controversy (kuow.org) — Littleton's St. Mary Catholic Parish is at the center of a major U.S. Supreme Court case over whether Colorado's universal preschool funds can go to religious schools that decline to admit LGBTQ students or families. The ruling could reshape how taxpayer money flows to faith-based schools statewide, alongside other high‑stakes cases on guns, immigration, climate policy, and elections.
