Meadows Monday

A mostly weekly news update from Elk Meadows HOA, Ridgway, Colorado
September 24, 2020
FIRE BAN !!
There is a fire ban in effect for the entire state of Colorado. 
MOUNTAIN LION
On Thursday 9-17-2020 a mountain lion was seen at 44 Fawn Lane at 6:00 PM next to a house. The owner yelled and it ran away. It was seen the following morning on Valley View and that evening near the same house on Fawn Lane. If you see a lion, depending on the situation, yell and scream at it to go away or backup slowly.
If the lion remains and seems to be watching humans alert Colorado Parks and Wildlife at (970) 252-6000. Lions are most active between dusk and dawn and consider dogs and small children prey.
(The above photo is not the actual lion but is a mountain lion)

Below is a live video of the lion that is traveling around Elk Meadows.

CLEARNETWORK INTERNET UPDATE
Elk Meadows did not get into the current grant application due to the fact that the grant had been reduced and the cost to Clearnetworx before actual connection would be approximately one million dollars which would have been a large portion of the available funds. However, Clearnetworx has expressed strong interest in bringing fiberoptics to us and is looking at the next grant application around November. Keep your fingers crossed. We are pursuing this earnestly.
COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS
TODAY'S UPDATE

As of September 23 the state of Colorado has a total of 67,217 confirmed cases of the virus with a total of 2033 deaths. A total of 858,108 people have been tested and currently 7454 people hospitalized with COVID-19 in Colorado.


Here is a quick video from the Surgeon General on how to make a simple mask. 
Please remember to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; washing every finger thoroughly as well as top and bottom your your hands.

Also, PLEASE check on your neighbors. If they are ill make sure they are getting the help they need. A simple phone call or a bag of groceries dropped at their doorstep is a huge help for many people at this time.
Please remember social distancing....it is working.
It is our only chance at containing this dreaded disease!!
STAY SAFE AND STAY WELL!!
