Living in the mountains, I have gone through that intersection thousands of times in the last 25 years. It, along with many others in the hills, is a limited sight, dangerous intersection. Rather than send Loven to jail, how about we do something to solve the problem----like a three way stop sign intersection!!! Of course, the cyclists won't stop at a stop sign, but at least we will really know who is at fault.

I hope you are not suggesting that gun owners obey gun laws like drivers obey traffic laws. Spend a little time in Boulder County and observe the "law abiding" citizens ignoring speed limits, stop signs, passing on double yellow lines, etc. Fortunately a much larger precentage of gun owners obey the laws regarding firearms than drivers obey traffic laws. I 'm pretty sure that automobiles kill and injure much more often than firearms.

Unfortunately I believe this is just business as usual. I attended several land use related meetings where I felt the commissioners were just rubber stamping what they had already decided prior to the meetings. I believe it is time for an investigation into all the decisions made by the commission in the past few years. If they did nothing wrong, then that's fine and the cloud around them would be cleared.

One of the reasons given for closing down the Lefthand Canyon shooting area was because of the fire hazard it poses.
There was a fire there caused by shooters, but there were no structures damaged. Although this doesn't, in any way, excuse the actions of those shooters, let's look at the big picture. The major fires in Boulder County where structures were lost in the recent past were the Black Tiger Fire, Olde Stage 1990 &2009, Overland Fire and the Four Mile Fire. Three of those fires were started by residents of the area and the other two were due to downed lines which supplied power to residences in the area. So I would make that: Structures burned by Residents-260, Shooters-0. Maybe the real problem is the intrusion of houses into the mountains?

Kevin,

Don't you find it a little bit curious that you know a lot more about Sarah Palin than you do about our president?

And guess who was on that Senate committee that McCain had to appear before to prove that he was a natural born citizen. Yep, that would be now President Obama.

I still don't get it. Why are trees suddenly the enemy? Don't they suck in CO2 and emit O2? We are spending billions to combat that now hazardous gas CO2 and yet we are preventing nature from doing it for free. Some want to return the forests to what they were before 1800 when the Native
Americans set fire to the forest to herd game and to open up the area so they could see their enemies coming. Was that "natural"? Maybe it is the houses that need to go, not the trees?

The county taxpayers did not help me with my new septic system. Math says the Eldorado Springs residents are paying about $15,000 each for a septic system. Mine cost $30,000 with no financing as these people got. I'm tired on the County Commission's seemingly unequal preference for certain groups and individuals.
