Colorado’s Old-World Sausage Maker Feels Like Stumbling Into A Hidden European Market

Some of the best shops on the Front Range hide in plain sight, tucked into small buildings that commuters drive past for years without a second glance. One of them sits in Wheat Ridge, and it has quietly become a weekly ritual for families across the Denver metro. Behind its modest exterior is a European-style butcher counter stacked with house-made sausages, smoked meats, bison, game and cuts that most grocery chains stopped offering long ago.

CPW Commission plagued with confusion over prairie dog petition

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission spent hours listening to public comment opposing and supporting a citizen petition seeking to end the shooting of prairie dogs on public land at their Nov. 3 and 4 meeting. At the October meeting, Commissioners Jessica Beaulieu, Dr. Rebecca Niemiec, Jack Murphy, Richard Reading, John Le Coq, and Chair Jay Tutchton ignored staff and CPW Director Laura Clellan’s repeated requests to allow staff additional time for stakeholder engagement and basic preparation. The six commissioners ordered staff to draft their professional recommendation in eight days. The meeting was marked by confusion and procedural inconsistencies that raised concerns from other commissioners about transparency, disenfranchising stakeholders, and unequal treatment of commissioners.
