MISSOURI — A man from Lebanon, Missouri is breaking records after he floated the Missouri River in a giant pumpkin.Steve Kueny traveled 39 miles in a 1,200-pound gourd to break the previous record of 38 miles."It was just something that seemed doable," Kueny said. "So I thought I'd give it a shot." $8 million in state funds headed for the Jefferson Avenue Footbridge Kueny says he had an idea the float was going to be successful within the first five minutes."Once we got underway, we got out of the city, passed the bridges and some of the more active barges," Kueny said. "And once we got to that, I was like, ‘Oh, I thought this is actually doable.’"This dream of being a world record holder began after seeing the record be broken just last year.

What are you willing to bet?Most of us have enough self-awareness to refuse that wager but not a group of activists that is willing to gamble the health and vitality of Colorado’s ecology. These activists believe the average Coloradan knows more about animal management than everyone at Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).The group — named  Cats Aren’t Trophies (CATs) — intends to place an initiative to ban hunting of mountain lions and bobcat trapping on the 2024 ballot. If successful, they will circumvent CPW and its commissioners and the Colorado legislature which ha...
