TWIN TUNNELS RENAMED TO HONOR VETERANS
Idaho Springs—The tunnels along Interstate 70 in Idaho Springs are being formally re-named on the 14th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The Colorado Department of Transportation says the Twin Tunnels will be named the Veterans Memorial Tunnels during a ceremony at the site Friday afternoon. Local military veterans and Col. John Wagner of the U.S. Air Force are set to attend. State lawmakers previously voted to rename the tunnels. A re-naming ceremony was originally planned in December but delayed because of weather.
HUNTER MISSING IN ROUTT COUNTY
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS (AP) – Rescue workers are entering a third day of searching for a Minnesota man who went missing while camping and hunting in the Routt National Forest. Richard Harkins went hunting alone Monday morning with a small tent, a pack, food and water. His companions called for help when he didn’t return to camp by Tuesday night. The search began Wednesday. Dogs were brought in to assist on Thursday, and riders on horseback will be added to the search as well. Air support for the search has been provided by several agencies. Kristin Raver says her brother hunted in the same area a year ago, and is very organized and prepared.
