Historic sites added to Colorado's Most Endangered Places

Yahoo31-01-2025

(COLORADO) — Four new historic sites across the state have been added to Colorado's Most Endangered Places while two sites that were previously on the list have been moved to progress.
The program by Colorado Preservation Incorporated aims to save endangered historic buildings, landscapes, and archeological sites by providing them with advocacy, awareness, and technical assistance to significant historic resources.
This year's additions include:
Indiana Jones Bed and Breakfast in Antonito.
Newman Block in Prowers County.
Knearl Block and Opera House in Brush.
Red Cliff Town Hall in Red Cliff.
'The intangible heritage aspect of each of these endangered places is what makes Colorado Colorado,' said Katie Peterson, Director of the Endangered Places Program. 'We're really happy to be here in these communities and assist them in any way.'
Colorado's Most Endangered Places originated in 1998 and has since highlighted 144 historic resources throughout Colorado, with 57 successfully saved and only nine lost.
Anyone who wants to nominate a historic building can do so year-round. Nominations are now open for the 2026 list and must be submitted before July 7, 2025, at 5 p.m. To submit a nomination, click the link above.

Prep school teen missing for days believed to be endangered: police

Virginia police are asking the public to be on the lookout for a "missing and endangered" teenager named Emma Anderson. Prince William County police say Anderson, 14, left her home in Haymarket in the early morning hours of June 1. Detectives received information during their ongoing investigation that has led them to believe the 14-year-old girl is "endangered." Emma is described as a white female, standing 5 ft. 5 in., weighing 102 lbs., with long blonde hair, brown eyes and pierced ears. She is a student at Wakefield School, a college preparatory school in The Plains, Virginia. No additional information was available as of Thursday afternoon. Prince William County police are asking anyone with information about Emma to contact 703-792-6500 or a local police department.

Snakes on a plane: Indian smuggler caught with venomous vipers

A passenger smuggling dozens of venomous vipers was stopped after flying into the financial capital Mumbai from Thailand, Indian customs officials said. The snakes, which included 44 Indonesian pit vipers, had the snakes "concealed in checked-in baggage", Mumbai Customs said in a statement late Sunday. "An Indian national arriving from Thailand was arrested," it added. The passenger, details of whom were not released, also had three Spider-tailed horned vipers -- which are venomous, but usually only target small prey such as birds -- as well as five Asian leaf turtles. Mumbai Customs issued photographs of the seized snakes, including blue and yellow reptiles squirming in a bucket. The snakes are a relatively unusual seizure in Mumbai, with customs officers more regularly posting pictures of hauls of smuggled gold, cash, cannabis or pills of suspected cocaine swallowed by passengers. However, in February, customs officials at Mumbai airport also stopped a smuggler with five Siamang gibbons, a small ape native to the forests of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Those small creatures, listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, were "ingeniously concealed" in a plastic crate placed inside the passenger's trolley bag, customs officers said. In November, customs officers seized a passenger carrying a wriggling live cargo of 12 turtles, and a month before, four hornbill birds, all on planes arriving from Thailand. In September, two passengers were arrested with five juvenile caimans, a reptile in the alligator family. bur-pjm/rsc
