rapidly to changes in their environment. The biggest problem aris-es when people feed coyotes, either deliberately or inadvertently.Feeding can cause any wild animal to lose its natural wariness ofpeople and can lead to unpredictable and aggressive behavior. Ifyou are aware of individuals feeding coyotes, please ask them tostop, or report it to the DOW office so we can follow up.

If you haven’t already done so, please talk to your childrenand neighbors about wildlife. Remind them not to approach orfeed any wildlife and teach them what to do if wildlife approachthem:

• Stop, do not run.• Face the animal and try to look big (put arms over your

head).• In a firm voice, tell the animal “Go Away!” • Slowly back out of the area and go tell an adult. While attacks on humans are extremely rare, people should

still take precautions. The City of Centennial would like our citi-zens to take every precaution to avoid an incident between ahuman and a coyote.

• Never feed coyotes!• Remove attractants.• Secure trash in a container with a locking lid and put trash

much as we can about the extent of this problem, and I appreci-ate those of you who have already shared your story with me.

As I hear about more and more encounters with these preda-tors, it is clear they are willing to attack any size pet at any time,day or night. In our neighborhood, they have jumped over fencesand opened up gates to get to their victims. They even mortallywounded a dog through a full enclosure designed to keep the coy-otes out. In Chenango, they entered a home through the “dogdoor” and took the family’s pet outside to kill it. No pet isimmune from attack no matter how large; if your pet is outside(and in some cases inside), they can be attacked so please be careful.

Recently, a group of coyotes approached a young person inour neighborhood looking to enter their car. Luckily the personwas able to run back into their house unhurt. I find this encountervery disturbing and hope I will not be writing about a person or achild being attacked in the future.

The Board has approved hiring a wildlife expert to assist indata gathering to include helping locate the various dens in ourneighborhood. No one’s property will be searched without con-sent, and in the unlikely event an examination of someone’s prop-erty is desired, written consent will be required before anyoneenters the property. If you suspect you have a coyote den on yourproperty and would like it examined by a wildlife expert, pleasecontact me.

June is here and the coyotes will start taking their pups out tohunt. I am told we can expect increased attacks, especially onsmall pets during the next couple of months. I know for manyhomeowners this problem has become increasingly untenable. Iappreciate your patience and cooperation while we work towardsa solution. For now, please be aware of the situation and your sur-roundings and take the appropriate action.

— Christopher Worley

out the morning of pick up.• Trim up vegetation to reduce hiding places.• Work with neighbors to discourage coyotes in your entire

community.If you meet a coyote on your property, make it feel unwel-

come by yelling, throwing rocks and sticks at it, spraying it witha hose or a vinegar-filled water gun, using an air horn, or bangingpots and pans.

Encounters with aggressive coyotes or reports of illegal feed-ing should be reported to the DOW at 303-291-7227 or throughthe Colorado State Patrol at 303-239-4501. For more informationon coyotes, please visit these websites:

Ourframework and plan are designed to demonstrate how our effortsin the areas of wellness, prevention and intervention come togeth-er to maximize protective factors and reduce and respond to at-risk behaviors in youth. The First American State Bank hasplanned the above-mentioned event as a celebration of CherryCreek youth and our school/community asset building and com-prehensive wellness initiatives.
