A European style of mountain climbing is taking root in the Colorado Rockies OURAY, Colo. (KDVR) - It is a way to climb mountains that began in World War I by the Italian Army as a tactical way to move troops.They call this method, via ferrata. In English, it means “the iron path."“The original via ferratas were these rungs drilled into the wall so they could climb through it, and then there would be a team that would actually remove the rungs behind them so they can get the strategic position. It’s pretty wild,” Logan Tyler, Basecamp Ouray founder and owner.Tyler is the one who designed, built and guides the Gold Mountain Via Ferrata in Ouray.“Colorado is kind of the hub for via ferrata in the country," he said.Opened for business in 2022, climbers traverse the mountain using hand and foot holds that have been drilled into the rock, perched high above the valley floor. Experience in mountain climbing is not required. Longmont outdoor school teaches students skills without instruction “That is the best part about via ferrata. It allows everybody to feel ...

Military officials say accused shooter was sent for mental evaluation after erratic behavior in July Military officials said the 40-year-old man accused in connection with a pair of deadly shootings in Lewiston, Maine was previously sent for a mental evaluation after erratic behavior in July. Authorities identified Robert Card first as a person of interest and later as a suspect in the hours after investigators said he allegedly opened fire in Lewiston Wednesday night. Maine’s governor said at least 18 people were killed, with more than a dozen others injured. As a massive manhunt for Card continued Thursday, the scene was tense in Bowdoin, Maine where Card’s family has lived for generations. Asked if he was worried about his safety, Richard Goddard responded: “Absolutely.”“I don’t know why he took it out on the people he took it out on and I don’t know what’s stopping him from taking it out on whoever else he’s going to take it out on,” Goddard said.Like many Maine residents, Goddard owns guns. He said he knew Card was in the Army but said he had not seen him around...

Lewiston Democrat Jared Golden says he’s switching his position on banning assault weapons

Lewiston Democrat Jared Golden says he’s switching his position on banning assault weapons LEWISTON, Maine — U.S. Rep. Jared Golden, a Lewiston Democrat, said Thursday he was reversing his position on banning assault weapons, saying a horrific mass shooting in his hometown led him to believe the firearms should be prohibited.Golden was one of four Democrats who voted in July 2022 against federal legislation that sought to ban certain types of semi-automatic weapons. But speaking to reporters inside Lewiston City Hall, Golden said after moments like the Wednesday mass shooting, “a leader is forced to grapple with things that are far greater than his or herself.”It’s too soon to tell if his switch will spark a movement, but he said he must try.“I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war, like the assault rifle used to carry out this crime,” he said. “The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure, which is why I now call on the United States Congress to ban assault rifles, like the one used by the sick perpetrator of this mass killing in...

Maine’s gun laws and consequences, explained

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 19:08:10 GMT

Maine’s gun laws and consequences, explained Maine has relatively lax firearms laws but also boasts one of the lowest firearms related deaths rates in the country.Maine does not have a “red flag” law which may have prevented a mass shooter in Lewiston from accessing the gun he used to kill more than a dozen, according to gun control advocacy groups, as early reporting indicates the shooter made specific threats of violence.“The state does not have an Extreme Risk law, also known as a ‘red flag’ law, to empower families and law enforcement to prevent tragedies before they happen,” Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control lobbying group, writes of the state.A “yellow flag” system used in the state, that would have required the intervention of a medical professional and sworn testimony from a law enforcement official in order to remove the guns used in Wednesday’s shooting from the alleged killer’s possession, may have been helpful if implemented.“Though Maine has taken some steps to keep guns out of ...

Mike Preston’s Ravens mailbag: Answering questions about trade deadline, inconsistent offense, potential re-signings and more | COMMENTARY Baltimore Sun columnist Mike Preston will answer fans’ questions throughout the Ravens season. Coming off Baltimore’s 38-6 win in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions, plenty of questions remain heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.Here’s Preston’s take:(Editor’s note: Questions have been edited for length and clarity.)With the trade deadline looming, is there a particular player/position that you think the Ravens should pursue to strengthen the roster? — Paul in OrlandoThe Ravens are in the same shape as several teams. They could use some help in many areas, including running back, offensive line and outside linebacker. That could change in a week or two, but right now the Ravens are 5-2 and there don’t seem to be any big names out there who would have a significant impact such as middle linebacker Roquan Smith did last year when he was acquired from the Chicago Bears. Except Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry. C...

Liberal bill updating sex-offender registry in response to court decision becomes law OTTAWA — A Liberal bill that adds victims’ input to the process for publication ban decisions and changes how the national sexual offender registry works has received royal assent.The new law requires judges to ask prosecutors if they have sought a victim’s input when seeking a publication ban, and requires victims’ preferences about receiving information about their case after an offender’s sentencing to be entered into the record.It also adds new entries to the list of offences that can result in someone being added to the registry, including the non-consensual sharing of intimate images and extortion.The law also changes the criteria that require sexual offenders to be automatically added to the registry, in response to a Supreme Court decision last year.The change comes a year after the Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional to add all people convicted of sexual crimes to that listing, and struck down related parts of the Criminal Code. Now, repeat s...
