BLACK FOREST, Colo. (KRDO) – It’s been exactly one year since 12-year-old Chase Culp was tragically killed in a car crash at the intersection of Shoup and Herring Road.
Chase and his father were on their way home from basketball practice when a 75-year-old man did not stop at a stop sign and collided with the father and son’s car.
To commemorate his anniversary, his parents say they thought hard about how to make the best of the gathering.
They invited Chase’s old teammates from the Eagles basketball team, friends, and family to spend the day playing kickball at his home before heading to the site of the incident for a candlelight vigil.
Though it has been a year, his parents tell me it feels like it was yesterday.
“I think throughout the week…I was reflecting on how young he was and how I will probably miss him more than the years I had to spend with him,” says Chase’s Mother, Leisa Garcia-Culp.
His parents say they are grateful for the community and the Eagles basketball team that have continued to support them and show love for their cherished Chase.
If there is a silver lining to this tragedy, it’s that the crash brought attention to the dangers of the Shoup and Herring Road intersection.
El Paso County has since outfitted the stop sign with solar-powered flashing lights and a warning that cross traffic does not stop, to hopefully prevent a crash, like the one last year, from happening again.

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) – Several viewers reached out to KRDO13 on Saturday, up in arms over a performance on the ‘free stage’ at the Colorado State Fair.
The performance, which went semi-viral on Facebook, shows a woman in what looks like a black swimsuit dancing around a pole to music. State Fair officials say it was unexpected, but the performing group says it was not sexual and was a planned performance.
The State Fair officials said the performance was booked through a third-party vendor and that they didn’t know what the content of the act was going to be.
In an email sent to KRDO13, they wrote:
“The events that took place Friday, August 29, on one of our free entertainment stages at the Colorado State Fairgrounds are unfortunate and do not reflect the Fair’s commitment to family-friendly entertainment.
This was part of a series of performances booked by a third-party stage production vendor. The performance’s content was not transparently disclosed before the performance began.
However, the Colorado State Fair takes full responsibility for the performance and for allowing it to continue. We apologize to all who have been impacted.”
However, the group behind the performance is pushing back against this statement.
KRDO13 spoke to Jaqueline Santos, the owner of Peacock Pole Art and Body Weight Fitness.
She said this is the 4th year one of their performers has put on a show at the State Fair. As for the notion that the performance wasn’t family-friendly, Santos disagrees. She says they specifically curate shows that showcase the power behind pole dancing while keeping it tasteful and family-friendly.
In response to some of the uproar, Santos wrote on social media,
“I want to clarify that our performers at the Colorado State Fair was part of an artistic, athletic, and fully age-appropriate pole performance. Pole is often misunderstood, but it is a legitimate sport and art form—recognized worldwide—with strength, flexibility, musicality, and storytelling at its core.
We take great pride in curating routines that are empowering, tasteful, and suitable for a family-friendly audience. This was not a nightclub act, nor was it intended to be “inappropriate.” It was a celebration of movement, creativity, and culture—just like the other dance and acrobatic acts at the fair.”
KRDO13 will have more on this controversy tomorrow at 5 pm on Channel 13.

CARPINTERIA, Calif.-The Santa Barbara Polo Residences held an open house on Saturday in Carpinteria.
Some of homes have porches and balconies overlooking the Santa Barbara Polo and Racquet Club.
The project includes a mix of 25 single family homes, 15 market rate townhomes, and six workforce housing units.
The Chadmar Group President Chuck Lande calls it a good fit for the area.
“The most important thing when you do a development is that it fits into the atmosphere, the community, it fits into the site and you want it to feel like it has been here forever,” said Lande.
The 11 acre location used to be a farm.
“It was a small farm, Glen Holden owned it for about 50 years, he was a longtime polo player,” said Lande, “I played for 37-38 years, great great sport and i’m still very actively involved in the club.”
The Chadmar Group’s open house included live music and food and drinks at one of the models with the main floor and balcony polo field view.
The Santa Barbara Polo Residences off Via Real and Polo Drive are open the drive through.

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) – “Are you really going to write me a ticket? It’s my birthday!” That’s just one of the excuses El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputies heard during their increased enforcement during Labor Day Weekend.
During a dual morning and evening enforcement period across the Pikes Peak region, 98 drivers were pulled over and 67 tickets were written. The lion’s share for speeding, with the most egregious violation for a driver going 101 mph in a 65 mph zone.
Trying to escape a ticket, drivers told deputies everything from “it’s my birthday,” to “I’m late for an appointment,” and “I’m in a hurry to get to Walmart.”
In total, 58 tickets were issued for speeding, three for careless driving, one for reckless driving, two for expired registration, one for driving without a license, and two for driving without insurance.
Also, one driving under the influence arrest was made. The sheriff’s office, citing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), says drunk driving crashes increase by as much as 40 percent during Labor Day weekends, making it one of the deadliest holidays to travel.
“These enforcement efforts remind drivers; reckless behavior has consequences and help protect everyone on our roads. As we approach a holiday weekend, we urge everyone to plan ahead, designate a sober driver, and make responsible choices behind the wheel,” said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The date of the holiday weekend’s start has been corrected.
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is urging drivers and boaters to make safe choices this Labor Day weekend after several serious crashes have already been reported.
Since the official counting period began on Friday, troopers reported three people have died in traffic and boating accidents, including a 17-year-old.
Over the last few days alone, troopers have responded to 32 traffic crashes, including two that were deadly. Ten others were left with serious injuries. Those crashes bring Troop F’s total to five fatal wrecks in August, and 28 so far in 2025.
While troopers reported no major boating accidents as of Sunday afternoon, just last weekend there were three crashes on Missouri waters. One was fatal, and another left a person seriously hurt. That marked Troop F’s third boating death in August, and its eighth this year.
Residents enjoying the holiday say safety is on their minds.
“We don’t drink alcohol when we’re out camping,” said Columbia resident Christina Zubillaga. “We make sure we’re not in the water after dark if there are no lights, and my mom always says to stay off the roads after the bars close.”
Veteran boater Randy Bowden said he’s noticed more boats on Missouri waters this summer, though in his opinion, it’s never as busy as the Lake of the Ozarks. Bowden, who has been sailing in Missouri for 30 years, says his approach to safety comes down to two simple rules: he drives sober and always wears a life jacket.
MSHP notes that boaters should avoid overloading their boat with too many passengers and pay close attention to the boats around them. Sergeant Kyle Green reminds drivers to slow down, avoid distractions, and never operate a vehicle or boat while impaired.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, 17 people were killed and 498 others were injured in 1,047 traffic crashes over the 2024 Labor Day weekend. That means someone was killed or injured every 9.1 minutes.
Troopers also made 110 arrests for driving while intoxicated.
On Missouri waterways, there were four boating crashes, which led to two deaths and eight injuries. One person drowned, and troopers arrested six people for boating while intoxicated.

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The Art Museum of Eastern Idaho is busy with events and a new exhibit for the public to enjoy.
The museum recently opened its first self-guided audio tour, Make Your Mark: A Celebration of Process, Passion, and Possibility. This exhibit features acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media works by local artists and educators.
Visitors get to put on headphones and hear interviews from the artists about the processes they went through while creating their pieces. The museum hopes visitors will feel encouraged to try their hand at art and create something of their own.
“I would love it if they would go home and get out of pencil and paper and or paint and fiddle around, doodle a little and have some fun with it. It’s really quite fun,” said Artist Gloria Miller Allen.
“The museum is here to celebrate education, empowering people to be creative, enjoy looking at art, contemplating, having a dialog with yourself as you look, and trusting that there’s really no right answers in art. So it’s a lot of fun to just explore,” said Museum Executive Director Alexa Stanger.
Saturday, the museum brought back Rolling on the River, where art was made using a full-sized steamroller as a printing press. Visitors and local artists gathered in the parking lot as large woodblock prints were made. Stanger says the event brings artists and art lovers together in a way that is bold and dynamic.
