DUI enforcement steps up for Memorial Day weekend

This Memorial Day weekend, Colorado State Patrol troopers in Troop 4B will be working saturation patrols in Routt, Moffat and Grand counties with a focus on detecting and deterring drivers impaired by alcohol and/or drugs.

Last year, 15 people lost their lives in traffic crashes in these counties alone. To date in 2016, four crashes have claimed the lives of five people in Northwest Colorado, and all these deaths had a contributing factor of no seat belt use.

To date, 170 people have lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in Colorado this year. These deaths can be prevented.

The state patrol reminds motorists to have a safe summer travel season by buckling up, driving defensively and driving sober.

Road closures announced for Steamboat Marathon

The 35th annual Steamboat Marathon is set for June 5. As a result of the event, motorists traveling in the area should expect significant traffic delays.

Traffic control will be in place on Routt County Road 129 again this year. Northbound traffic on 129 will be diverted to the left lane just past the entrance to Elk River Estates and will proceed north to Cullen’s Corner. Southbound traffic on 129 will be diverted at Cullen’s Corner onto Routt County Road 44, then back onto 129 north of the airport.

From Cullen’s Corner north to the start of the half marathon near Moon Hill will be one-way traffic, controlled by a pilot car leading traffic on the west side of the road.

VNA recommends hepatitis A vaccine before travelling

The Northwest Colorado Visiting Nurse Association recommends people planning travel to international destinations, including Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, receive a Hepatitis A vaccination.

Individuals planning to travel abroad should receive any needed vaccinations at least one month before travel. Travel and routine immunizations are available at the Northwest Colorado VNA, 745 Russell St. To make an appointment, call 970-824-8233.

Residents encouraged to renew driver’s license online

Colorado residents who renew their driver’s licenses or identification cards online will now receive a newly designed card.

Renewing online allows customers to avoid visiting a Department of Motor Vehicle office. It also offers individuals the opportunity to update their current physical and mailing addresses.

Individuals may renew their driver license up to two consecutive times online. The most recent photo on file with the DMV is used when renewing online.

Last year, only 29 percent of eligible residents took advantage of the online renewal option. Individuals are encouraged to renew online for their convenience.

Colorado unveiled the new driver’s license and identification card at three pilot offices in March. All driver license offices across the state are issuing the new design.

Junior Achievement to offer Denver business week camp

This summer, high school students in Steamboat Springs have the opportunity to attend Junior Achievement Business Week, a residential camp experience held June 5 through 10 at Johnson & Wales University in Denver.

All ninth- through 12th-grade students are invited to join a growing group of young innovators who are anxious to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to the business world.

Business week is a project-based program that focuses on practical application and real-world problem solving. In addition to interactive workshops on marketing, business ethics and budgeting, the week culminates in a “Shark Tank”-style competition.

By networking with successful entrepreneurs and students from across Colorado, business week students explore leadership concepts, learn to work corroboratively and build confidence, all while getting a sneak peek into college life.

Interested students can watch a video and register at jabusinessweek.org/video.
