LAREDO, TexasU.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations officers assigned to the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge this week seized cocaine in a commercial conveyance that totaled over $3.5 million in street value.

A significant seizure like this one underscores the seriousness of the narcotics threat we face every day and the commitment of our frontline officers to carry out our border security mission, said Port Director Albert Flores, Laredo Port of Entry.

The seizure occurred on Tuesday, Oct. 31, at the Colombia-Solidarity Bridge, when a CBP officer referred a tractor trailer hauling an empty flatbed trailer for secondary inspection. Following a non-intrusive inspection system examination, CBP officers discovered 108 packages containing a total of 266 pounds of alleged cocaine hidden within the conveyance.

The narcotics had a combined street value of $3,553,513.

MONTE VISTA, Colo. The Bureau of Land Management is preparing a prescribed burn at the Blanca Wetlands, approximately 11 miles northeast of Alamosa, Colo. The burn is scheduled for between November, 2023 and mid-March, 2024, and will be conducted as weather and fuel moisture conditions permit. Fire treatments may take multiple days or, sets of days to complete during this time. Specific timing of the operation will depend on favorable weather and fuel moisture conditions. Crews will be on site for the duration of the burn.

Prescribed fire projects help promote healthy ecosystems by removing materials that degrade habitats and contribute to the severity of wildfires. Pond shorelines are burned every five-to-10 years to improve habitat for wildlife, improve angler access, and manage vegetation. As many as 200 acres surrounding eight ponds will be treated to improve habitat for nesting and migratory waterfowl in the wetlands, as well as the more-than 150 species of bird that use the area. An informational video about this ongoing project can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16DT6tU8wUs&t=4s.

Smoke will be visible throughout the day of the burn, mostly during the warmest part of the day. With cooler temperatures in the evening, smoke may linger and accumulate in low-lying areas. Firefighters will be on site throughout the day of ignition and will periodically patrol the burns for several days afterward.

Prescribed fire smoke may affect your health. For more information, please visit the Colorado Air Pollution Control Divisions website: https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/wood-smoke-and-health.

For general information, please contact Scott Nilson, Fire Management Specialist for BLM Rocky Mountain District Fire at (719) 852-8150.

For media enquiries, please contact Levi Spellman, the BLM Rocky Mountain District Public Affairs Specialist, at (719) 839-1584.

Updates on the Blanca Wetlands prescribed burn will be available on the @BLMColoradoFire Facebook page.

AMA (NSW) President Dr Michael Bonning will tell the inquiry he has witnessed firsthand the harms tobacco products and vapes cause to patients and the new laws are a good start to discourage people from smoking and vaping.

The AMA supports the changes to the legislation, as they include evidence-based measures to revitalise Australias tobacco and vaping control measures to protect Australians from harm, Dr Bonning said.

These include new measures around rotating health warnings, standardising packaging and terms that can be used.

Australia has made so much progress in tobacco control over the past few decades, but tobacco use remains the leading cause of preventable death and disability. More needs to be done to crack down on tobacco sponsorship and implement the retail ban on vapes.

The AMA supports changes that will bring e-cigarettes in line with tobacco advertising restrictions. The AMA also supports the Bills restrictions on social media marketing that targets individuals based on algorithms.

Dr Bonning, who chairs the AMAs Public Health Committee, will tell the inquiry, that the AMA does not support political parties accepting sponsorship from tobacco or e-cigarette companies and calls on all parties to refuse to enter arrangements that clearly compromise government policy making on public health matters.

The AMA calls for all political parties to stop accepting sponsorship from the tobacco industry because this clearly compromises government policy making on public health matters.

Proposed vaping reforms are critical including a retail ban on all vapes and are an overdue change to protect younger people from becoming addicted to nicotine.

Australia needs to protect younger people from addiction to vaping and not make the same mistakes it made around tobacco use in the past. It took decades for the health harms of tobacco to come to light, with the powerful tobacco industry disputing the evidence and relentlessly promoting their addictive products.

We are seeing the same tactics play out today with vapes, hooking new generations on to nicotine by marketing directly to younger people and downplaying the health harms.

This winter, The City of Red Deer is piloting changes to the snow and ice control program that emphasizes restoring mobility sooner and providing safe, accessible and well-maintained transportation infrastructure for all.

To improve mobility and responsiveness, residential streets will now be included in The Citys 24-hour snow and ice control operations. Previously, residential plowing was completed weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

We have heard from the community that they want residential streets completed sooner, said Greg Sikora, Manager of Parks and Public Works. By expanding our operations to 24/7, we will be able to clear Green and Grey Routes within seven days individually, which is an improvement from the previous average of 24 plus days to complete.

Once residential plowing is triggered, short-term, 24-hour per day parking restrictions will be implemented along residential routes. These restrictions will be enforced through ticketing and towing on both Green and Grey routes. Red Deerians will be notified of parking restrictions in a number of ways: Crews will place No Parking signs on every impacted street a minimum of 12 hours in advance of plowing, Residents can search their address via the mapping tool on The Citys website at reddeer.ca/snow, Residents will be alerted through Notify Red Deer, and Updates will be shared on The Citys social media channels.

Other improvements include increased service levels to the current trail clearing program, including an additional 25 km of the Waskasoo asphalt trail network, 10 new locations of shale trail and staircase clearing, and 68 more kilometres of neighbourhood asphalt trail clearing.

These networks will be cleared within three to six days, improving pedestrian and cyclist experience. Similarly, transit stops will also be cleared more quickly.

Changes to the overall program will focus on increasing the presence and effectiveness of pre-treating, plowing and sanding equipment on major arterials, hills and bridges before, during and after snowfall.

To address icy driving conditions and provide greater traction control, we will be more aggressively sanding and salting our major roadways and high-risk spots, said Sikora.

In June 2023, Council adopted the revised Integrated and Accessible Transportation Policy (IAATP), which focuses on providing the community with mobility services based on four guiding principles: safe, accessible, well-maintained and accountable.

The City is also launching a public consultation process on residential snow clearing operations. Residents are invited to provide input on the residential program, and how we can better meet the needs of the community throughout the winter. At the end of the program, all responses will be analyzed and summarized in a report. City Council will then review the findings to inform future snow clearing policies and operations. Visit engage.reddeer.ca to learn more.
