Dr. Rachel Herlihy, director of the immunization program at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, is urging Coloradans to get their annual flu vaccination. Along with community clinics, many grocery stores and pharmacies offer the vaccinations, as well as some employers.? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone six months of age and older get the seasonal flu vaccination. The vaccine is available as a shot or a nasal spray. Flu can strike anytime but is most likely to infect people between October and May.? During the past three flu seasons in Colorado, flu contributed to an average of 1200 Colorado residents being hospitalized each season. No pediatric deaths due to flu were reported in Colorado during the 2011-2012 flu season, but three pediatric flu deaths were reported during the 2010-2011 season and 12 pediatric flu deaths were reported during the 2009-2010 season. People at high risk of serious flu complications include young children; pregnant women; people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart and lung disease; and people 65 years and older.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission gave final approval to fishing regulations for the 2013 fishing season at the Commission?s November meeting in Yuma on Thursday and Friday. In addition, Commissioners started review of big-game hunting regulations and received informational updates on wildlife research projects, financial issues, an agency marketing plan and the Colorado Archery in the Schools Program. Commissioners received a briefing on the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Strategic Plan, which is being rewritten to fulfill requirements of legislation that merged the Colorado Division of Wildlife and Colorado State Parks last year. The fishing regulations for the 2013 fishing season, which begins April 1 of next year, were widely unchanged. Anglers will see new regulations extending walleye and saugeye regulations upstream of Lake Pueblo State Park, standardizing regulations below Kenny Reservoir near Rangely and allowing the take of carp at Switzer Lake in Delta County. Commissioners also began the process of reviewing changes to the big-game regulations for 2013 seasons. Commissioners are considering modifications to the popular late youth elk hunt program. The successful program has put thousands of young hunters into the field since its inception. Originally developed to help address overpopulations of elk on agricultural, private lands in western Colorado, the program is transitioning to continue offering hunting opportunity at a time when elk populations have been reduced to desired long-term levels. If approved by the Commission, late youth elk hunters in 2013 will be able to hunt late seasons in the general area and method of take where their unfilled limited cow or either-sex elk licenses are valid, instead of three large quadrants defined for the 2012 seasons. As part of the changes, Colorado Parks and Wildlife staff is working to develop proposals to expand youth opportunity in the state by looking at hunting of species beyond just elk. For more information on the upcoming meeting schedule or how to listen to live online broadcasts of meetings, please see the Commission web page: http://wildlife.state.co.us/ParksWildlifeCommission/Pages/Commission.aspx.

Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement in response to the Bureau of Land Management?s (BLM) announcement that it has published its plan to support research and development of oil shale technologies on Colorado?s public lands.? ?Colorado enjoys an abundance of energy resources that when developed responsibly will help us diversify our energy portfolio and lessen our dependence on foreign oil.? I welcome today?s announcement and look forward to the research findings of the Interior Department, and industry, to determine whether oil shale may someday become a viable part of our energy strategy.? ?Colorado knows all too well what can happen when we rush into oil shale development. This plan will help ensure that any future commercial oil shale enterprise will proceed in an environmentally sound, socially responsible, and economically viable way. In Colorado and throughout the west, we must ensure that development of our energy resources takes into account our water resources, which are critical to farmers, ranchers, and our state?s economy.?
