Colorado's relocated wolf pack marks fourth death in 2025
Colorado state officials on Friday announced the death of a female gray wolf, marking the fourth such incident this year as the state pursues a voter-mandated reintroduction of the species.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed that it received a 'mortality alert' Thursday from a collar on a female gray wolf, identified as 2512-BC, that was relocated from British Columbia earlier this year.
The agency did not provide details on the death, which occurred in northwest Colorado, and said the Fish and Wildlife Service will conduct an investigation into the incident.

'A final determination of the cause of death will not be made until the investigation is completed, including the necropsy, a foundational component of the overall investigation process,' a CPW statement reads.

Sierra Madre search and rescue team faces financial difficulties following Eaton Fire
A local search and rescue team that helped evacuate people during the Eaton Fire now needs rescuing of its own. The Sierra Madre Search and Rescue team is dealing with unexpected costs from the fire. Rob Klusman, a healthcare consultant, is the team's operations leader. He has been with the organization for 29 years. "Most of our responses we have are all away from vehicles and up trails, so we have to walk to everything or fly," Klusman said. Lauren Capoccia, a San Bernardino nurse, also volunteers as one of 42 team members. The Sierra Madre Search and Rescue team has 42 members who help respond to fires at no cost in the steep terrain of the San Gabriel Mountains. KCAL News They have all put in hundreds of hours a year responding to calls for help at no cost in the steep, unforgiving terrain of the San Gabriel Mountains. When the Eaton Fire started the night of Jan. 7, they were called to help with evacuations. "We were up in the canyon evacuating houses, making sure people out aware of going on," Capoccia said. Helping residents evacuate came at a cost to the hardworking nonprofit that has a budget of about $80,000. They need pickets for anchors, replacement rescue ropes, replacement fire shelters and they need a new rescue truck. "This truck is 25 years old at this point," Klusman said. The rescue team has set up an online fundraising campaign and Klusman, like every team member, saves money where they can. "I used dental floss to sew up and close the holes," he said about his gloves. Members spend thousands of their own money to buy their gear. In their free time, they train in the mountains charred by the fire. With dead and burned trees after fire, they now have to haul up a 45-pound bag of metal pickets to conduct the rescue missions. "For the next 5-8 years, once they re-open this, we are prepared to use picks and tools," Klusman explained. "Can't rely on trees or natural anchors that used to be here." Even with the financial difficulties, the team remains determined to keep protecting the people in their foothill city, at whatever cost.

The Soul Of Southern Food
Trays and butcher paper with variety of barbecue The ingredients and cooking techniques of the South are fundamental to the overall American food scene as we know it. Whether is it BBQ, stews or indulgent desserts, so much of what the current American food experience is still relates to the south. It is also common knowledge that some of the best cooks down there are also taking strides to produce the same amazing flavors that are cleaner, healthier and more relevant today. There is something primal in confronting a state that has had such a troubling health and poverty problems and see it emerging--at least culinarily--out of the belly of the beast. In historical and political terms it might still take more time. So--foodwise--the traditional flavors are still here, although they have been jazzed up and sometimes made in a healthier style. It is hard for anyone person to try to encapsulate how food has evolved over the decades in a region, but I think I found a good emissary in Scott Jackson, the chef and owner of Jackson, Mississippi's Pig & Pint restaurant. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the JXN Food & Wine Festival—which brought together chefs from all over the state—in none-other-than Jackson, Mississippi. All answers have been edited and condensed for clarity. The bacon melt sandwich. Scott Jackson (SJ): Ingredients consist of anything we can grow or raise here, which is pretty much everything as we have a long growing season in a sub-tropical climate. Due to the effects of the Civil War, we learned to make food from alternative ingredients. For instance, wheat was unavailable as it doesn't grow here, so bread was made from cornmeal. As for BBQ, smoking meats might be the oldest form of cooking throughout history and widely embraced by the common man as a delicacy they could easily prepare - harvest an animal from your farm or the forest and cook it slowly over a wood fire: caveman stuff. There is also a heavy African influence in our cooking. BBQ tacos with crunch. S.J.: Mississippi's geography influences ingredients. The Gulf Coast region will feature more seafood while the rest of the state utilizes more freshwater fish. Also, the coastal region has more French, Italian and African fusion influences. There is a fair smattering of Asian (mostly Chinese and Vietnamese) communities throughout the state and there is a deep history of Chinese culture in the Delta region. I find that our ancestors did more stewing of vegetables than roasting. So, I have improved on what I learned from my grandmothers. Generally speaking, our state has evolved as Americans have learned more about healthy eating, including using organic ingredients. A high-high pulled pork sandwich. S.J.: I find that the vegetarian era is mostly a thing of the past here as we are learning that the food pyramid we were taught was a bunch of hooey. People are getting back to cooking with tallow and butter and eating more eggs and meat than in recent decades. The chef is based in Jackson, MS. S.J.: BBQ and the usual sides pair nicely with more fruit-forward styles of wine. California Zinfandel is my go-to for BBQ. But, other wines like Spanish Garnacha, Primitivo from Puglia, Rhône reds or even some of the richer Russian River Pinot Noirs work as well. S.J.: Vegetables have always been an important part of Mississippi food. Being a rural and mostly poor state, many people—certainly in the past—would often eat meals comprised of only locally grown vegetables some of which were seasoned with meat trimmings.
