Colorado Woman Who Fed Bears Is Killed By One
"Donna Munson, 74, considered the black bears that swarmed across her land in southwestern Colorado to be her pets. She fed them dog food and scraps -- poking the food through a metal fence she built around her porch -- attracting so many bears that neighbors sometimes counted as many as 14 on her property at a time.
On Friday, one of them killed and ate Munson, slashing her head through the fence and dragging her body underneath it.
"She was dead set on continuing to feed the bears, and unfortunately, she paid the ultimate price," said Ouray County Sheriff's Investigator Joel Burk, who had to shoot a bear that tried to approach Munson's remains as he interviewed witnesses."
Colorado Apartment Vacancies Rise
"Apartment vacancies in communities outside metro Denver climbed to 9.1 percent in the second quarter, the highest level in four years, according to a report released Tuesday by the Colorado Division of Housing.
The second-quarter figures echo a trend in the metro-Denver vacancy rate, also at a four-year high with figures of 9 percent for the second quarter and 8.4 percent in the first quarter. The Division of Housing surveys apartment owners in both the metro area and outlying communities but conducts the surveys on different schedules. The non-metro vacancy rate is up from 6.7 percent during the second quarter of 2008, with all areas but Colorado Springs reporting increases."

Colorado Mountain Climber Killed
