GREAT TIMES AT
GREENWOOD VILLAGE DAY
We had another successful fun-filled event at this year’s
Greenwood Village Day. The event was even more special in
that our friends from the Greenwood Village Chick-fil-A
store were there to serve some delicious chicken sandwiches
and salads to nearly 5,000 residents. We also
had several vendors including Manna from
Heaven, Churn and Burn, Freddy’s Cuisine,
5280 Sliders, Simply Pizza, Happy Cones, and
Gigi’s Cupcakes in attendance to keep residents
fueled with energy throughout the day and
evening. All the food and desserts provided by
these vendors was simply delicious and enjoyed
by all.
Greenwood Village prides itself on offering a
prestigious quality of life to our citizens which

was another amazing event and I know you, as well as myself,
look forward to what staff has planned for Greenwood

DIRT MOVING SOON
FOR NEW WESTIN HOTEL
Light rail riders who previously used the surface parking lot
at the Arapahoe at Village Center Station will now be
protected from hail or snow as they use the parking garage to
access light rail due to construction of the new Westin Hotel
in our Village. The existing RTD parking garage contains
817 parking spaces. Accordingly, they will have plenty of
space for current riders. The surface parking lot at the
Arapahoe Light Rail Station was owned by Greenwood
Village and leased to RTD for parking until the Village sold
the land to the developer last September.
The Westin Hotel will be sited where the previous surface
parking lot was located. The proposed hotel will include 203
hotel rooms and
suites, a restaurant,
bar, coffee shop,
meeting space,
swimming pool, and
underground
parking. The Westin
property will be
located steps from
the pedestrian bridge
and parking structure
serving the RTD
Arapahoe at Village
Center light rail
station and the
Village Center retail
and office buildings.
The hotel will be
highly visible and
convenient to I-25,
making it easily
accessible for
motorists and light rail users.
Watch for more updates on progress of construction of the
Westin Hotel in future Newsletters.

ONE STOP
EFFICIENCY
SHOPPING
Let me share information about an
easy way to save energy and money,
sponsored by Xcel Energy. The
concept is simple: you schedule a visit
and a Prius V pulls up in front of your
house. An energy expert hops out to
help you identify opportunities where
the addition of a few simple measures
can add up to big savings. You choose
which energy saving items you want
installed and the expert does all the
work. Two hours later, your home is
more efficient. It’s called the Home
Energy Squad. It’s one-stop efficiency
shopping for anyone wanting to save
energy at home and get immediate
results.
Some of the recommendations include
installing weather stripping on exterior
doors, programmable thermostats,
value LEDs, high-efficiency
showerheads or faucet aerators.
The homeowner pays for the $75 trip
charge, and the rest — materials,
installation and labor — is covered.
A more than $200 value free.
To be eligible for the program, a
resident must be an Xcel Energy
electricity-only or electric and natural
gas customer. CLEAResult performs
the customer visits, in partnership
with Xcel Energy.

KILLER HABIT
HELP THE GVPD SPREAD THE WORD ON THIS DEADLY TRAFFIC BEHAVIOR
Greenwood Village Police, in coordination with the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT), is asking citizens to help reduce distracted driving and avoid
the compulsion to grab their phones while driving. Why? Distracted driving is killing
people. Period.
In 2015, there were 68 Colorado traffic fatalities involving distracted drivers.
This dangerous habit is taking the lives of many who can’t kick their addiction of
using their phone to talk or text while driving.
So the next time you get in your vehicle, think about the statistics. It could happen
to you, your family member, a friend, or the other driver. Lock your phone away and
make it to your destination without once using or touching it. Kicking your distracted
driving habit could save a life…. And it could be yours.
For more information about distracted driving in Colorado, visit distraction.codot.gov.

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS
In 2016, Greenwood Village partnered with Denver Water as part of the Water Saver Partnership to educate residents on
ways to save water and money on their water bills while maintaining the beauty found in Village neighborhoods.
RAIN BARREL
UPDATE
As of August 10, rain
barrels are officially
allowed for single family
residents and multifamily
properties with four units
or less in Colorado. If you
are interested in
purchasing a rain barrel,
contact your local home
improvement or lawn and
gardening store, or search
online to order. Before
installing a rain barrel,
make yourself aware of the
proper maintenance and
care practices.
• Remove debris from your gutters prior to installing the
rain barrel and at least once per year after installation.
• Ensure that your rain barrel has a lid with a screen.
The screen will filter out leaves and organic material that
could impact the water quality. A screen will also keep
mosquitoes, squirrels and other pests out of your barrel.
• Place your rain barrel on a level surface. The most
common surface for a rain barrel is concrete blocks or
tiles.
• Do not use rainwater collected from a rain barrel for
potable purposes, not even for pets.
• Ensure algae growth is not occurring and inspect your rain
barrel weekly. If algae is growing, clean the rain barrel
with bleach and rinse thoroughly. This risk is more likely
in rain barrels that are clear. Dark barrels help to reduce
the risk of algae growth.
• During the winter, empty your rain barrel and store it
upside down or in a garage or storage unit.
• Ensure the spout and collected rainwater are not directed
toward the foundation of the home.
• If you are planning to leave town, do not collect rainwater
during that time or ensure you have a neighbor or friend
maintaining the barrel.
• Drain the barrel at least once every 10 days.
As with any water system, rain barrels require proper
attention and care. If you have further questions, you may
contact the Colorado Division of Water Resources (Office
of the State Engineer) for additional information at
303-866-3581.

DENVER’S FAMOUS DITCH
Open Houses Offer Chance To Share Ideas
On Protecting, Enhancing The High Line Canal
The High Line Canal and its trails are one of Denver’s most
cherished recreational assets.
PG. 10 GV NEWSLETTER | SEPTEMBER 2016
GOVERNMENT
The canal, a 71-mile irrigation ditch, was built in 1883 out
of a vision to bring water from the foot of the Rocky
Mountains to the dry plains northeast of Denver.
Denver Water purchased the canal in 1924 and still uses it
today to transport untreated water to about 70 customers for
landscaping and irrigation.
While the canal was once considered an engineering marvel,
it is no longer an efficient means of delivering water. About
70 percent of the water sent down the canal seeps into the
ground before it makes it to customers.
The canal’s evolution is why Denver Water is teaming up
with the High Line Canal Conservancy to develop a master
plan. Water delivery, trail maintenance, developing new uses
and creating a sustainable greenway are all part of the
discussion for Denver Water, the High Line Canal
Conservancy, the public and the 11 communities that border
the canal.
You can share your ideas about the future of the historic
canal and its greenway at upcoming community open houses,
sponsored by the conservancy:

Commission will host another public
hearing regarding the proposed
amendment to the City’s
Comprehensive Plan to create the
Orchard Station Subarea, which is
located north of Orchard Road and
west of Interstate 25 in the vicinity of
the Orchard Light Rail Station. The

FIT36 – ‘IT’S YOUR TIME’
8000 East Belleview Avenue #B80 in the Belleview Promenade • 720-501-4995 • www.FIT36fitness.com/denver-tech-center
Classes begin: 6 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 6 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Friday; 8-10 a.m. Saturday; and 8:30-9:30 a.m. Sunday
Have you ever needed to sprint to an important meeting,
run through a crowded airport to catch a connecting flight,
perform yard work or have to move heavy furniture? How
about having to load and unload groceries in and out of your
car and home, climb a flight or two of stairs, wrestle nonstop
with the kids or grandkids in the back yard, or do
laundry? FIT36® will alter the way you become fit for these
activities and so much more, even if you have never
competed in a single sports activity . . . and all under the
guidance of expert trainers, and completed in just 36
minutes!
“We’re much more than a gym; we are a place to efficiently
meet your fitness objectives to positively impact your life!”
exclaimed Abe Dispennette, owner of FIT36® Denver Tech
Center. Abe (Retired Military) and Steve Cronin (Former
Professional Soccer Player), combined their experience to
introduce a brand new concept gym that would give
individuals the opportunity to move to their next level of
fitness . . . and all in a fun and challenging way!
FIT36® was founded after initially opening first as “FIIT
Werx” in Denver during 2013. The owners wanted the
workout to be compatible with a complete range of
functional movements. The success of FIT36® is entirely
based upon an efficient class workout. All classes are small,
contributing to personal attention to correct form. Members
from pre-teen to their 70s schedule 2-3 workouts per week to
maximize individual abilities. And all classes utilize HIIT
(High Intensity Interval Training) by nature and can burn
calories not only during the workout, but often afterward,
called “afterburn.”
“Our workouts constantly change and push you to the best
of your ability,” said Abe, who emphasizes that his passion for
fitness is only matched by his desire to change people’s lives.
Being that the Village community is so active and vibrant,
the FIT36® vision was a perfect match for the Village
lifestyle. The program appeals to the Village community of
stay-at-home moms, kids, business owners, athletes, and
everyone in between. “We train to adapt to new demands,
promote correct posture and movement, rehabilitate injury,
and develop broad and inclusive fitness to both look and feel
great,” said Abe. And the small class size and atmosphere are
high-energy and upbeat with motivating music, highly
qualified and certified trainers and state of the art equipment.
FIT36® workouts take members through 12 functional
stations twice, performing the movement at each station for
one minute, followed by 30-seconds of rest, creating a 36-
minute workout. The more a workout can be completed in
an anaerobic zone, the more the workout can improve
endurance and performance. Building strength AND burning
calories at an impressive rate is accomplished using the most
advanced science of fitness. By focusing on strength,
athleticism and stamina the weight loss is accomplished
through calorie burn while making you stronger through
intense functional movements. Heart rate monitors are
available to ensure the workout is being completed in the

Twenty years ago, Qing Hammell
came to the United States as an MBA
student from China with nothing.
Through hard work and the
friendships she made, Qing pursued a
successful financial career. She wants

an opportunity to pursue the dream of
owning a restaurant.
“During our first visit to Greenwood
Village two years ago, we were deeply
impressed by the burgeoning
economic activity, well-planned
infrastructure, and the growth
potential of the city,” explained Qing
Hammell, owner of Teriyaki Madness.
“We had always hoped that we could
be part of the prospering economic
activity and plan to be more involved
in network opportunities organized by
the Chamber and hope to eventual
expand our catering business.”
Teriyaki Madness is a fresh Asian grill
that serves made-to-order bowls of
fresh, natural and gluten-free
ingredients, served tableside in 5-7
minutes. All chicken dishes use fresh
(never frozen), 100 percent all-natural
chicken that is marinated and grilled
with house-made sauce.

EMERALD ASH
BORER DETECTED
IN LONGMONT
CITIZENS ENCOURAGED
TO CONTINUE
INSPECTION OF
ASH TREES FOR
INFESTED BEETLE
In June, the invasive tree pest emerald
ash borer (EAB) was confirmed in the
City of Longmont. This confirmation
comes after the infested beetle was first
detected in two trees in the northeast
section of Boulder in 2013. It is
unknown whether the insect arrived in
Longmont by natural spread or via
accidental human transport, such as
firewood or other raw ash material.
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an
exotic green beetle that was discovered
in southeastern Michigan in the
summer of 2002. It is spreading
throughout the eastern United States
and Canada and has destroyed
millions of ash trees in these areas. The
adult beetle nibbles on ash foliage and
causes little damage, however, the
larvae feed on the inner bark of the
ash trees, disrupt the tree’s ability to
transport water and nutrients which
results in significant damage. The
beetle is an extremely slow mover and
cannot fly fast or far, however, it
moves more quickly when aided by
humans moving infested firewood or
trees. All ash trees, with the exception
of the mountain-ash, are susceptible to
the EAB.
There are an estimated 2,000 ash trees
within the public spaces of the Village.
Staff continually inspects the ash trees
throughout the Village. A few select
ash trees will be treated once the
Emerald Ash Borer is found closer to
the Village. Current recommendations
are to treat the trees if Emerald Ash
Borer is found within five miles. If an
ash tree is found to be infested with
EAB, the tree will be removed and
replaced with a different species of
tree. Future tree planting by the
Village will continue; however, ash
trees will not be utilized. For any
questions regarding the Village’s urban
forest and EAB, please contact Kurt
Nielsen, Public Works Supervisor, at
303-708-6158.
PUBLIC AWARENESS
REQUESTED
The public is requested to be aware of
the EAB and what you can do if you
have ash trees on your property.
1. Determine now if you
have any ash trees.
Identifying features of ash trees
include compound leaves with 5 to
9 leaflets; leaflets and branches
growing directly opposite from one
another; and diamond-shaped bark
ridges on mature trees.
2. If you have an ash tree,
start planning.
Decide if the overall health of the
tree merits treatment or if it would
be best to remove and replace it
with a different species. If you
aren’t sure, contact a certified
arborist. If pesticide treatment is
the preferred option, the applicator
must be licensed by the CDA as a
Commercial Pesticide Applicator.
3. Recognize signs of
EAB infestation.
Property
owners
with ash
trees
should be
on the
lookout for
thinning
of upper
branches
and twigs,
loss of
leaves, D-
shaped 1/8
inch holes
on the bark, vertical bark splitting
or increased woodpecker activity.
Report suspect trees by calling the
CSU Extension Office in Arapahoe
County at 303-730-1920 or
Colorado Department of
Agriculture at 1-888-248-5535.
4. Be aware of EAB imposters.
Other insects like lilac/ash borer,
ash bark beetle and flat-headed
apple tree borer may look like EAB
or cause similar tree symptoms. For
more information, visit
eabcolorado.com.
5. Help prevent further
spread of EAB.
Do not transport ash or any
hardwood firewood, or any other
untreated ash wood products, to
other locations. Boulder County
and some surrounding areas are
under a federal EAB quarantine,
allowing for stiff fines for those
who move untreated wood from
the area.

identification, the symptoms of EAB
and treatment options, visit

‘STRUCTURED’ OPENING
RECEPTION AT THE CURTIS CENTER
Local art lovers filled the Curtis Arts &
Humanities Center to celebrate the opening
reception of “Structured.” The exhibit showcases
four Colorado artists that seek to measure the
physical and intangible dimensions of a place by
taking architecture as their subject matter. The
exhibit features three painters Sharon Ferder
(Denver), Sarah McKenzie (Boulder) and Rick
Dula (Denver) and one photographer Dallas
Parkins (Denver).
The exhibit seeks to raise the public awareness of
the built environment that we all inhabit and help
remind you that you too can shape that
environment. Local architect Dan O’Brien from
Presence Design Group said of the exhibit,
“Architecture as an object can become emblematic
— a structure can become the symbol for a
neighborhood, an institution, an industry, a city.
This is usually an image of a structure from afar.
Architecture as an object can also work simply as
an abstract visual experience.” The exhibit
presents architecture in many states and includes
several large scale, visually captivating pieces.
While all four artists have known each other for

THROUGH THE
EYES OF PICASSO
Working in Paris in the early 20th
century, artists Pablo Picasso and
Georges Braque saw new things
happening in European art, while
simultaneously seeing art being
imported from other cultures. From

“Cubism,” and it was to influence
artists from then until today. In this

important to YOUR art now.
