Wellington Daily News · Wellington, CO
By James Winham, Wellington Fire Chief/Emergency Medical Services Director As winter temperatures settle into Wellington, local furnaces, space heaters and fireplaces are working harder to keep homes warm. Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fires during the winter months, but many of these incidents are preventable. Wellington Fire Rescue encourages residents to follow these safety guidelines to keep their homes warm and their families safe throughout the heating season. Give Space Heaters Space Portable space heaters offer convenient warmth but require careful attention. Follow the three-foot rule by keeping heaters at least three feet away from anything that can burn, including bedding, curtains, furniture, clothing and rugs. Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet. Never use extension cords or power strips, which can overheat and cause electrical fires.

Nearby: Fort Collins, COWASHINGTON | Airlines across the U.S. worked Saturday to recover from the longest nationwide ground stop in 25 years that canceled more than 2,000 flights, spread ripple effects around the world, stranded passengers and forced professional and college sports teams to scramble for alternate transportation. At Denver International Airport, 471 flights were cancelled and 603 were delayed as of late Friday, according to the FAA. Airport and FAA officials report that operations are normalizing today and that passengers should contact their airlines regarding specific cancellations or delays. Trump administration officials said new technology being added to the nation’s air traffic control system overloaded antiquated equipment and caused “intermittent” communications and radar gaps, leading to the flight shutdown of more than four hours. A limited number of domestic flights departed after the stop was lifted around 8:15 p.m. ET Friday.

Nearby: Fort Collins, COWASHINGTON (AP) — More than 2,000 flights were canceled Saturday as airlines across the U.S. worked to dig out from the longest nationwide ground stop in 25 years, which stranded passengers and forced professional and college sports teams to scramble for alternate transportation. Trump administration officials said new technology being added to the nation’s air traffic control system overloaded antiquated equipment and caused “intermittent” communications and radar gaps, leading to the flight shutdown of more than four hours. A limited number of domestic flights departed after the stop was lifted around 8:15 p.m. ET. But the effects could be felt for days, with officials saying the system is likely to be operating normally in time to handle the Thanksgiving travel rush. The nationwide stop was the first since January 2023, when another key FAA computer system that sends notices to pilots malfunctioned, and the second since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Nearby: Fort Collins, COWASHINGTON | Trump administration officials said Friday that new technology being added to the nation’s air traffic control system overloaded antiquated systems and caused “intermittent” communications and radar gaps, leading to the longest nationwide ground stop in 25 years. It was lifted Friday night after a five-hour stretch when most flights were not allowed to take off from airports in the United States. Thousands of flights and potentially over a million travelers were affected from coast to coast. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin told reporters at the White House that no one was in any danger as more than 3,000 flights were safely landed. But Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said he could not guarantee it wouldn’t happen again. Mullin said the FAA was installing “new equipment, new technology” and “it was overwhelming the older system.” There appeared to be no indication of a cyberattack, Mullin said.

Nearby: Fort Collins, COUpdated at 10:20 p.m. The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all flights in Vermont and nationwide for more than four hours Friday afternoon because of communications problems at regional air traffic control centers. The FAA lifted the ground stop about 8:20 p.m. An FAA notice said the ground stop was being imposed “due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety.” Federal officials have not indicated the stoppage was related to a hack or other nefarious activity. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said a communications issue was affecting the 22 regional air traffic control centers directing planes en route between airports nationwide. He said FAA technicians are investigating. This was the first nationwide ground stop since January 2023, when a key FAA computer system malfunctioned. Before that the last time had been after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Nearby: Fort Collins, COFor the fifth straight year, the Cougs are on the outside looking in on the playoffs. Their inaugural season in the new-look Pac-12 Conference was less than ideal, but still had some bright spots. WSU soccer saw changes in the offseason. These changes include the arrival of Chris Citowicki as head coach, players transferring in and out of Pullman and the Cougs being back in the newly revived Pac-12 after spending the last two seasons in the West Coast Conference. Vs. Idaho (Aug. 12) The Cougs started the season with a forgettable 3-0 loss to the Idaho Vandals. The Vandals took an early lead after a second-minute goal and had all the momentum from there. Idaho found the net two more times in the first half. Vs. South Florida (Aug. 15) WSU responded to the loss against the Vandals with a commanding 4-1 win over South Florida. Senior Lexi Lee notched a penalty kick in the 12th minute to give the Cougs an early lead.
The Star · Fort Collins, CO
Nearby: Fort Collins, COGulf County has spent time discussing the rules surrounding short-term vacation rentals. The Port St. Joe Star reported that county commissioners considered practical concerns, including whether emergency responders could enter certain rental properties when an owner was far away. It is easy to frame that conversation as a contest between property rights and regulation. There is another question worth asking alongside it: how does a place welcome visitors without forgetting the people who live beside the rental all year? A guest may arrive for a weekend to enjoy the coast. A neighbor stays through the ordinary school weeks, the storm preparations, the quieter business seasons, and the evenings when a street needs to be a home rather than a destination. The two do not have to be enemies. But their needs do have to be seen honestly. Jesus gave a practical shape to neighborly love in Luke 10:30–37.
