Dinosaurs are no longer roaming the earth, but their tracks live on. In the foothills on the Front Range of Colorado, a story can be told from pieces of the past left behind.Dinosaur Ridge has been ranked by a panel of esteemed paleontologists as the no. 1 track site in all the U.S. One of those world-renowned paleontologists is Martin Lockley, who has spent his life studying dinosaur tracks.“You're looking at a snapshot of an ancient environment," Lockley says.In an area of just a few hundred square feet, 330 dinosaur tracks have been discovered. However, the land was very different 100 million years ago. Lockley says the giant prehistoric animals weren't a mile high in the Rocky Mountains.They were on the beach at sea level in an environment very similar to present day Gulf of Mexico.“We like to joke and call this beach-front property a 100 million years ago," Lockley says.The soft, wet, sandy land made conditions ideal for preserving tracks."If they're walking on wet sediment, like a beach or a mud flat or the shores of a lake, and it dries out, it becomes hard like concrete," Lockley explains. "And the next time there's a flood washing in more sediment, it will bury those tracks without them being eroded away."Experts believe three different dinosaurs made their mark on this patch of land. Lockley says it's possible they were migrating along what used to be a coast. It's clear the western U.S. was a popular place to be, because there are more than 120 dinosaur track sites from Kansas to Utah. Martin suggests part of the reason is less vegetation in these states means more fossilized rock is exposed.But if there are so many track sites, what makes Dinosaur Ridge the top of all track sites? Executive Director Jeff Lamontagne, with Friends of Dinosaur Ridge, says there was a list of criteria the panel considered."How many tracks there are, the variety of dinosaurs seen in the tracks, the importance of the tracks, the clarity of the tracks, the accessibility and number of visitors," Lamontagne explains.Accessibility is the main reason Dinosaur Ridge has become so highly regarded."It's right outside a major metropolitan area, and there's a major road just a quarter mile from here," he says. "It's easy to see this compared to most other dinosaur track sites in the United States and in the world."People can get so close to the tracks; in some places you can even touch them. Although the tracks have been well-preserved for millions of years, their current exposure to humans and the elements could make them erode over time.Thankfully, with current technology, scientists can scan the surface and re-create it as 3-D permanent record. They also plan to build a cover to protect the land.However, Friends of Dinosaur Ridge believe the hands-on part of the site is important for kids to continue learning about the planet's past. A past that can teach us about topics like climate change, evolution and extinction."We used to think that the dinosaurs all went extinct, but then we realized that some of them survived and evolved into birds," Lockley says.For modern-day humans, Dinosaur Ridge will continue to be an intriguing learning opportunity, reminding people we aren't the only ones to experience life on Earth."It gives you a sense of wonder to imagine these enormous beasts living, playing, dying, a hundred million years ago," Lamontagne says.********************************************If you'd like to reach out to the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 3540

DES MOINES, Iowa — Vandals have defaced the artwork and property of an Iowa man who displayed paintings of Confederate flags and swastikas in his front yard.The vandal or vandals scrawled the words “Nazi scum” on a trailer and the pickup parked at William Stark’s house in Des Moines and spray-painted over several of the wooden pallets in his yard on which he had painted the Confederate battle flag, 414

Days after Christmas, Leon Haughton flew back to the US from his birthplace in Jamaica with three jars of honey. He had no idea they would cost him his freedom for nearly three months.The Maryland resident spent 82 days in jail after he was arrested December 29 and accused of bringing a controlled substance into the country. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers who searched Haughton's bag upon his arrival to Baltimore/Washington International Airport said the honey he was carrying tested positive for drugs."They said I was charged with methamphetamine, so I said, 'what is methamphetamine?'" Haughton told CNN affiliate WJLA.Charging documents say the 46-year-old man told officers he had purchased the honey on the side of a road in Jamaica, but officers suspected it was liquid meth.Each of the three bottles tested positive for methamphetamine in a field test, according to a probable cause statement. Haughton was taken to a county jail to face multiple charges including importing a controlled substance into the state and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.He stayed there until March when the charges against him were dropped after a second test in a Georgia lab found no signs of drugs."Once I came out, all my insurances collapsed, my credit was destroyed," he told the affiliate. "I lost my job, everything. They just left me a mess."The father of six told WJLA he lost two jobs while sitting behind bars.But there was no error made in this case, the prosecutor's office said."A specially trained drug sniffing dog was alerted to the presence of a controlled dangerous substance and a preliminary test done by the police officers further tested positive for a controlled dangerous substance," the office said. "The confirmatory laboratory test showed (there) was no controlled dangerous substance inside the honey."ICE detainer in questionThe Anne Arundel County Prosecutor's Office said Haughton faced a no-bond house arrest on the state charges, but an ICE detainer prevented him from being released earlier.Terry Morris, Haughton's attorney, also said he was told there was an ICE detainer. Haughton also told the affiliate that upon his release he was told ICE had a hold on him.A spokeswoman with ICE told CNN there was no detainer issued for Haughton and referred questions to US Customs and Border Protection. When contacted by CNN, CBP declined to comment on the record.He doesn't want his honey backHaughton told the affiliate the whole ordeal put a great deal of pressure on his family."My kids were stressed out, my mom, everybody," he said. "They put me through hell."And even though Customs has sent him a letter offering the honey back, according to Morris, Haughton doesn't want it."Lawsuits (are) going to be coming soon," Morris says. "There will be lawsuits imminent." 2847

CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A new report shows elder adult abuse increased significantly in the past 15 years.Centers for Disease Control and Precention (CDC) released the report showing a 75 percent increase in non-fatal assaults against men 60 and older, and a 35 percent increase against women 60 and older between 2002 and 2016.Dr. Jo Stecher, assistant director of the undergraduate nursing program at from Florida Gulf Coast University, says families should look for sure signs that can point to whether loved ones are getting abused.“They could pull back, they could guard themselves physically when certain people walk in the room,” Stecher said. “Fingerprints on the older adults upper arms where somebody has held onto them.”Stecher also points out that seniors with cognitive impairment could see situations differently and skew their reality.“What might be perceived as caring for them physically, might be abuse in their minds,” she said.She added that neglect is the most common form of abuse among persons 60 years and older.Dana Overton fears his mother is not getting the proper care at the hospital she’s currently staying. Overton claims hospital staff neglected his mother leading to bed sores and weakness in her legs.“They haven’t moved her. They’ve let her body just lay there largely for 30 days,” Overton said.He claims he filed a police report and a complaint with the Department of Children and Families.Overton says the biggest concern is his mother’s safety.“I blame myself that I brought her here. It may have happened at any hospital… I don’t know, but it makes me feel like I failed my mom,” Overton said.For more resources on this topic, below is a list of websites to check out:? Click 1723

Experts say when it comes to drug treatment and recovery, there really isn’t one right answer. But a group in Dayton, Ohio, believes some of the best help can come from those who’ve been through the fight already.“I was there, I was desperate,” said Waldo Littlejohn.“I lost a nephew and a sister to this epidemic,” said Kevin Kerley.” So it’s personal to me.”"I ended up DOA for 23 minutes,” Erica Gross said. The Dayton Fellowship Club, for many, is a house of hope.They help people dealing with substance abuse disorders. The only thing they need to have to walk through the door is a desire to stop using. “In the last four-to have five years it’s really gotten worse,” Kerley said of the opioid epidemic in Dayton.Gross attributes the issue, at least in part, to doctors.“I think a lot of it does have to do with the doctor, doctors prescribe it,” Gross said. “I know for me, that’s something I’ve just now realized is that’s what kind of kicked off a lot of things for me.”Littlejohn adds there are other factors as well.“It can be attributed to lack of jobs, it can be attributed to poverty, there’s a lot of things that can contribute to that,” he said.Kerley said it’s taken over the community he’s known his whole life.“It’s taken over our community,” he said. “I was born and raised in this area and I’ve seen the devastation that it’s done. The kids and the housing and the deaths the plight of the neighborhood, it’s just destroying our home.” Littlejohn has been in recover for 21 years.Having been through the fight himself, he says the country is facing a gigantic challenge in the face of the opioid crisis.“The people coming through this door now are getting younger and younger, but they are still coming, they are still looking for help,” Kerley said. “That means there’s still hope in this community.”Littlejohn agrees.“I’m very hopeful,” he said. “I’m very enthused about it. Our motto is, ‘hope is found here.’ ” “Now people are starting to recognize it,” Kerley said. “It’s sad that it took all of the deaths and it took us becoming No. 1in the state of Ohio for opioid overdoses for people to recognize that the need for help is here.” 2172
