“It was a wonderful surprise,” said Tom Lewanski, when two baby bison were born back-to-back last weekend at Dakota County’s Spring Lake Park Reserve.When eight bison were relocated to the park last fall, Lewanski, who works as the park’s natural resource manager, said they were keeping an eye on the lead bison and had suspicions she was pregnant.Much to their surprise, a two-year-old bison gave birth to a new calf on April 28 and, 24 hours later, the other two-year-old bison gave birth as well.“It was a total surprise,” Lewanski said, adding “The lead cow may not even be pregnant.”Located northwest of Hastings, the park is along the Mississippi River and includes around 160 acres of prairie landscape.During the winter months, Lewanski said the bison were out of public view for the most part to give the herd time to bond and create their own social structure.“We intentionally secluded them so they could form their own herd … We wanted them to get to know each other and their new hom...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:48:40 GMT

The Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline is seeking the public censure of former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan “Ben” Coats for his role in a controversial contract given to a top administrator — an unprecedented rebuke of the state’s foremost judicial figure.The censure request is based on an agreement between Coats and the discipline commission, which found he failed to “perform judicial and administrative duties competently and diligently,” the commission announced in a statement Thursday.While such a censure carries no penalty, it would mark the first time a Colorado Supreme Court justice has ever faced this type of discipline. Coats retired in 2020.The entire Colorado Supreme Court recused itself from the case, directing a special tribunal comprised of judges from the Colorado Court of Appeals to review the matter.“The Special Tribunal will review the parties’ stipulation to affirm or deny the Commission’s recommendation,” the statement s...
