Who We AreCommunity News is a free monthly publication for Denver Colorado. Your free copy is available in many stores, businesses and libraries (see Locations link at the top of this page). We started out in the Bear Valley, Brentwood and Harvey Park area of southwest Denver. We've been publishing monthly since 2005. Each issue of Community News has recipes, events, local churches and houses of worship, pet care, healthy living, articles of general interest, jokes and humor, "Find Ernie" contest and other contests when available, and just lots of stuff. Currently all our 2008, 2009 and 2010 issues are available on this site. Click on the Link for Back Issues Back Issues Online Coyote AlertOn June 29 at approximately 12:30 p.m. (just after noon), a coyote was observed in a back yard in the 3200 block of S. Newton St. It was a small coyote approximately 25 to 30 pounds, mostly reddish in color, with darker and lighter speckling. It did not appear to be wary of the two adult humans who were present. On
July 11 at approximately midnight, a much larger and lighter in
color coyote was in the same back yard. It made no sound, but
grabbed a small 16-pound dog's head completely in its mouth and
tried to run off with it. Two larger dogs were in the back yard and
it did not seem at all afraid of them. It severely injured the small
dog before a human ran at it, yelling, waving arms, and forced it to
drop the small dog in order to escape. The small dog has several
serious puncture wounds and bites, a cracked jaw, severe swelling,
and is (obviously) in a great deal of pain. Although he is expected
to recover in time, it is still possible some of the nerve damage
will be permanent. Numerous neighbors have reported pets have gone missing in the past few weeks in the area from Loretto Heights west to Bear Valley. If you see a coyote, take action to make it feel unwanted. Throw rocks, small sticks, spray it with a garden hose, yell at it, etc. Do not approach it. Now that we've seen these particular animals are out and about at all hours, day or night, seem to be traveling at times in packs, and do not appear to be afraid of either humans or large dogs, who is to say what they might do next: A child: An elderly or frail person: Let us not hesitate to take appropriate action IMMEDIATELY. If you see a coyote, PLEASE call Ashley DeLaup, Wildlife Ecologist for Denver Parks & Rec, at 303-455-0785 with the date, time, location and any information you can give her about the sighting. PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.
