Mountain lions may be visiting your neighborhood without you even knowing it

Over the past few weeks, Colorado Parks and Wildlife Officers responded to reports along the southern Front Range involving mountain lions killing deer near people’s homes.

Satisfying Your Outdoor Gear Needs
The GearSPOT (138 East Main Street) in the Lyons Village Central Plaza is celebrating their grand opening/ribbon cutting on Friday, March 22, from 3 to 6 p.m. Proprietor Lisa Ruoff invites the community to come on in, check out the outdoor sporting gear, and enjoy some munchies and refreshment.

An avid outdoor enthusiast, she was surprised that there weren’t many places to get quality used outdoor gear in the general vicinity, and decided to fill the niche.

Alarming Situation
The St. Vrain Pharmacy fell victim to a would be burglar last Wednesday night (March 13). The perpetrator jimmied the back door of the establishment, and then tried in vain to silence and disable the alarm with a hammer.

A scope of work of the task force has been agreed upon between myself, the Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Town’s Parks and Recreation Director. I have

Local Inventor To Kickstart His Product
Several years ago Lyons resident Gary Peterson was concerned about the safety of his children while they were riding their bikes when visibility was less than optimal. He began tinkering with some ideas, and eventually came up with the “Super Nova Blue” safety bike light.
