GV WELCOMES

K-9 STRYKER

A new officer has joined the Greenwood Village Police

Department and this recruit is working (and playing)

hard to prove he is top dog of the

department. Greenwood Village welcomes

K-9 Officer Stryker! Stryker is a 13-

month old Belgian Malenois who arrived

from North Carolina — the same place

from which K-9 TAG and the late K-9

Magnum joined us. Once he gets settled

with his new handler, Officer Jeff

Mulqueen, Stryker will begin his law

enforcement training in Narcotic

Detection and Patrol to include learning

how to effectively search for suspects. In

addition, Stryker will also be trained to

work with the Police Department’s

Emergency Response Team (ERT, also

known as SWAT). Lots of work and

obedience training will be required before Stryker is

ready to take big bites out of crime in our community.

Once he has

graduated from

K-9 field

training, citizens

will be able to

Arapahoe County Sheriff and Commissioners, Tri-County Health

Department Executive Director and Greenwood Village Mayor

remembered those who have died from drug overdoses on International

Overdose Awareness Day Aug. 31, 2017.

STAND IN SOLIDARITY FOR

OVERDOSE AWARENESS

I have mentioned this before in my report and wanted to urge

everyone to take a stance and support our state’s search of

innovative options to save lives, increase prevention efforts, and

remember those we have lost to accidental overdoses. August 31

was Overdose Awareness Day and I, as mayor, acknowledged this

very important day to support prevention and remembrance.

In 2016, approximately 50,000 people in the United States died

from fatal overdose, 912 of those deaths occurred in Colorado. For

the first time, overdose is now the leading cause death of Americans

under the age of 50. We are losing people that can be saved,

especially our youth. The National Council on Alcoholism and

Drug Dependence states one in four people report knowing

someone who has been addicted to prescription painkillers. Drug

use does not discriminate by age, race, socioeconomic status or

education level.

Prescription drug misuse and abuse is a serious problem both in

Colorado and the Tri-County Health jurisdiction (Adams,

Arapahoe, and Douglas counties). Each year, overdose deaths from

opioid painkillers alone number around 300 in Colorado and about

a third occur in our three counties.

Such deaths are now more common

than alcohol-related traffic fatalities. As

recently as 2010-2011, Colorado ranked

No. 2 in the nation among young adults

ages 12-24 for self-admitted nonmedical

use of prescription painkillers. Enough

opioid painkillers are dispensed by

pharmacies in the United States to

supply each American citizen with

enough painkilling pills to take one

every four hours, around the clock, for a

month.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

PARTNERSHIP BRIEFING

BY CONGRESSMAN COFFMAN

In August, Congressman Mike Coffman gave a congressional

briefing, hosted by Denver South Economic Development

Corporation (DSEDC). I joined the Mayors of Centennial

Douglas counties to hear the latest news and updates from

Congress and learn of congressional actions that could

impact our communities, and our local governments.

FIRST PITCH TO

CELEBRATE RENOVATION

OF FIELD 8

Once said Joe DiMaggio, “All pitchers

are born pitchers.” Well, that may not

always be true, nevertheless, it’s a great

quote from an inductee of the

National Baseball Hall of Fame. In

August, I had the privilege of cutting

the ribbon for the grand opening

celebration of the renovation of Field 8

at Village Greens Park in the Village in

partnership with Cherry Creek High

School. Renovations to the field

included work to bring it up to 5A

CHSAA standards for a girls softball

field, including new enclosed dugouts,

perimeter fencing, concession stand,

press box, flagpole and batting cage.

Subsequently, on that same evening, I

was chosen to conduct the first pitch

for the first home game for Cherry

Creek High School softball. My

pitching skills reaffirmed that my

focus around the terms “passion” and

“purpose” should be focused on

cutting the ribbon at ribbon cutting

events not serving as a pitcher for a

softball game. Overall, it was a fun

experience and I won’t be quitting my

position as mayor to further discover

my skills as a pitcher. GV

TAKE note

LEAF REMOVAL

As we enter into the fall season,

keeping Greenwood Village clean will

continue to be a priority. To assist with

these activities, we ask that you do not

place loose leaves, yard debris or trash

in the street as our sweepers are not

equipped to pick up large piles of

leaves or debris. Moreover, this debris

can be wind blown or inappropriately

washed into the storm systems and

waterways of the Village, which

impacts water quality. Instead, please

look to other options to dispose of this

debris.

• Arrange for your lawn care provider

to remove the leaves when

performing your yard service.

Request that they refrain from

blowing leaves into the street.

• Bag your leaves in compostable

paper yard waste bags and place

them out with your weekly trash

pick up. These bags of leaves will

end up in the landfill and paper is

preferred over plastic which will

WHY CAN’T I SWEEP MY LEAVES OR

never break down and is bad for

the environment no matter what its

destination. Republic Services has

no limit as to how many bags of

leaves they will pick up, however,

keep in mind if some bags are left

at the curb they will be returning

once they have unloaded their

truck.

Do not rake or blow leaves, grass or other trash into the street. The street sweeping

equipment is not able to handle branches or large quantities of leaves and grass and

can spread these materials around the street. Leaves and grass are “natural” but when

it rains, these materials on streets and sidewalks can wash into storm drains and

eventually lead to Village waterways

such as streams and ponds. These

materials provide nutrients which over

fertilize the water and encourage harmful

aquatic plants and algae to thrive, which

has a lasting negative impact on water

quality, local ecology and recreational

use of our waterways and is a form of

stormwater pollution. Just like we would

ask you to not throw trash in the street,

it is the same for leaves.

Ace Hardware Cherry Hills

Marketplace at 5910 S. University

Boulevard and Orchard Road has

teamed up with the City of

Greenwood Village to provide

residents with FREE compostable

paper yard waste bags. The above

coupon provides a free 5-pack, while

supplies last. For more information,

please contact Ace Hardware Cherry

Hills Marketplace at 720-974-1080.

• Recycle your leaves at Village

Greens Park. Leaves can be dropped

off loose or in bags between

October 2 and November 3, 2017,

in the dedicated area of the north

parking lot any day of the week.

This option is environmentally

friendly with staff spreading and

disking into the soil where native

grass cannot be established adding

nutrients, helping with moisture

and also providing a place for soil

bore microorganisms to live. It does

not impact the landfill and it is cost

effective. No bags are needed and

you do not have to wait until your

trash day to dispose of them.

CONSERVE WATER AND SAVE MONEY ON YOUR WATER BILLS

Greenwood Village is partnering once again 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.

FALL LANDSCAPE

RECOMMENDATIONS

Fall is a great time to prepare your landscape for a healthy

spring to come. Below are some tips from Green Industries of

Colorado:

• Aerate turf to eliminate compaction and improve the

turf’s ability to take up moisture, nutrients and air.

• Fall is the best time of year to fertilize bluegrass lawns to

promote a healthier turf before winter, a healthier root

The boxed area is the drip line, or critical root zone.

system and turf that greens up earlier in the spring

without excessive top growth. Fertilize with nitrogen

sometime during late September to early November.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper

fertilization.

• October through March: During prolonged dry periods,

water trees once or twice per month, using 10 gallons of

water for each inch of the tree’s diameter. Water only

when the temperature is above 40 degrees and there is no

snow on the ground. Visit the following link to determine

how long to water trees during these winter months:

SCHOOL IS BACK

IN SESSION

MAKE SURE YOUR

TEEN IS UP-TO-DATE

ON IMMUNIZATIONS

TO STAY HEALTHY

As children and teens head back to school, Tri-

County Health Department (TCHD)

encourages parents to ensure that your child is

up-to-date on all their immunizations, including

the HPV (human papilloma virus) vaccine.

According to the American Academy of

Pediatrics, adolescents are less likely than

younger children to receive all the recommended

vaccines. This often happens because teens don’t

visit the doctor as frequently as young children,

parents may not know certain vaccines are

needed or families may not know all the benefits

of newer immunizations, like the HPV vaccine.

Every year, more than 31,500 women and men

are affected by a cancer caused by HPV. That’s a

new case about every 20 minutes. The HPV

vaccine is an effective way to prevent some of

these cancers, and studies of the vaccine show no

serious safety concerns, according to the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC recommends 80 percent of teens receive the

vaccine to keep the entire population healthier. Colorado’s

rates are far below that level at less than 60 percent of

adolescents vaccinated against HPV. That means our teens

may be at a higher risk.

In addition to the HPV vaccine, teens and preteens are often

due for two doses of vaccines to prevent meningitis, a dose of

TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis) and an

annual influenza vaccine. If they have missed any of their

earlier vaccines, such as hepatitis B; hepatitis A; measles,

mumps and rubella; polio or varicella (chickenpox), these

immunizations may be recommended as well.

Immunization appointments are available at your local public

health clinic. To make your appointment today at Tri-County

Health Department, please call 303-451-0123. For more

information please visit our website at www.tchd.org. GV

VILLAGE READ

FEATURED

‘LAKE OF FIRE’

This summer the

Greenwood

Village

Cultural

Arts

Program

partnered

with the

Arapahoe

Libraries to

present the first

ever Village

Read. The idea

encourages adults

of all ages to read

one book and

participate in

thought-provoking

discussions and activities derived from the

chosen book. The goals of the program are

to encourage leisure reading, create

community conversations and bring the

community together through literature.

For our first year, the book Lake of Fire by

Colorado author Mark Stevens was chosen

as this year’s Village Read book. Set in

Colorado, the story follows hunting guide

Allison Coil as she tries to find out what

happened to a body found after a wildfire

ravages the Colorado Flat Tops.

Activities included a book discussion with

Mayor Ron Rakowsky, several guest

speakers and lectures on topics related to

the book including foraging in Colorado

and fighting wildfires and writing

workshops conducted by the author.

Attendees enjoyed the opportunity to meet

the author and expand their knowledge

from the many guest speakers.

The program concluded with a concert in

Curtis Park with special guests Let Them

Roar, who hail from where our book takes

place, and The Cody Sisters. Over 250

attendees enjoyed music, free ice cream

food trucks and a tequila tasting, the main

character’s favorite drink.

The Village Read is expected to continue

next summer. Stayed tuned to hear more

HIGH LINE

CANAL TRAIL

USERS

SHORT DETOUR

PLANNED FOR

SIX MONTHS

Due to the Harrison

Oaks development

construction consisting

of 11 single-family

residential lots in the

rural area of Greenwood

Village, there will be a

short detour for High

Line Canal trail users so

that a new pedestrian

and a vehicular bridge

can be safely installed

over the High Line

Canal. The detour was

implemented in late

August and may be in

place for up to six

months.

In order to construct this

necessary infrastructure,

approximately 40 trees will need to be

remove along the canal, many as small

as six inches in diameter. Based on the

2016 inventory, there are over 23,000

trees greater than six inches along the

length of the 71-mile High Line Canal

corridor, with nearly 2,500 of these

located in the section of canal that

runs through Greenwood Village.

Harrison Oaks was required to

compensate Denver Water, the owner

of the High Line Canal, for the loss of

these trees. Denver Water is investing

back into the overall care and

management of the trees and 71-mile

corridor by:

• Providing continued support for

the Community Vision Plan, of

which Greenwood Village and all

other jurisdictions along the canal

are signatories of.

• Using recently gathered data to

more effectively and proactively

manage the existing trees along the

canal corridor. The increased level

of management will begin in the

fall of 2017/winter of 2018.

• Working with the High Line Canal

Conservancy and other

jurisdictional partners, such as

Greenwood Village, to initiate a

comprehensive tree care master

plan and develop landscape

guidelines that reflect the

Community Vision Plan.

• Ensuring that any new tree

plantings happen at a time, and in

a way that will promote the longterm

success and alignment with

the future of the canal corridor.

Oaks development, please call

Community Development at

NEW PLAN

FOR TREE CARE

ALONG THE

HIGH LINE CANAL

The High Line Canal Conservancy,

Denver Water and leadership from

each of the jurisdictions along the

Canal’s reach (all part of the High

Line Canal Working Group) are

working together to take an important

step to improve the Canal landscape:

initiating a comprehensive tree care

plan for all 71 miles. The tree care

plan prioritizes safety for users and

long-term health of the trees. This tree

care plan will be followed by the

creation of landscape guidelines and

implementation plans, including

drought tolerant plantings and other

landscape enhancements.

During the summer of 2016, the High

Line Canal Working Group completed

a comprehensive tree inventory

project. This project identified,

mapped and assessed all trees with

diameters greater than six inches along

the High Line Canal corridor. Data

was collected on 23,677 trees

throughout the High Line Canal

corridor, which has served as a

valuable tool in assessing the health of

the tree canopy.

Conclusions drawn from the tree

inventory have led to immediate

(Phase I) and long-term planning

(Phase II) to preserve and enhance the

Canal tree canopy. On the immediate

which need to be removed or pruned

Certified tree service professionals

assigned categories of tree conditions

based on the severity of health of the

trees, which includes recommended

actions to improve tree health along

the Canal. Visit highlinecanal.org/treeinventory

The High Line Canal Conservancy is

working closely with Denver Water

and the jurisdictions to:

• Establish and monitor standards for

removal and pruning that fulfill the

Community Vision Plan for the

High Line Canal.

• Coordinate the accounting of each

jurisdiction’s investment in the

project.

• Leverage private funding to ensure

long-term, high-quality care of the

entire tree canopy.

• Manage the tree data gathered

along the Canal corridor.

Removal and pruning of trees as part

of Phase I are expected to begin in fall

2017/winter 2018. There may be some

disruptions to the trail during this

ONUS iV HYDRATION

5425 Landmark Place • Open 10 a.m. Daily

720-417-9590 • www.onusiv.com

Have you been exhausted, run down,

or depleted of energy? Affected by jetlag,

altitude sickness, or perhaps a

hangover? Or have you experienced

muscle cramping or felt the onset of a

minor cold? If you answered yes to any

one or more of these conditions, then

the common practice of IV

(Intravenous) infusion therapy may be

just what your body needs!

With the July opening of Onus iV in

The Landmark in Greenwood Village,

a licensed staff of medical professionals

can now administer a variety of IV

“cocktails” to help your body combat

and prevent these ailments and many

more. IV hydration therapy (also

known as infusion therapy) is a

common, low-risk procedure used by

doctors, nurses and paramedics to

rehydrate the body intravascularly,

bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. In

short, it’s the fastest, most efficient

delivery method to distribute vital

fluids and nutrients throughout your

body.

Three avid mountain bikers (Kristy

Anderson, Chaz Faulhaber and Dr.

Benjamin Wilks) founded Onus iV

Hydration in 2015, and from their first

location in Denver have helped over a

thousand individuals counteract

conditions that can impede their active

lifestyles. The Village community was

selected for their newest location

because of its active lifestyle and quality

of life. Dr. Wilks, co-owner and

founder of Onus IV is a current Board

certified emergency room physician,

practicing at Longmont United

Hospital, in addition to being on staff

for C.U. Health at their satellite clinics.

He has rigorous requirements for his

staff in their credentials and

background.

“Our licensed team of physicians,

nurses and paramedics provide IV

services in a relaxing “non-medical”

environment,” said co-owner Kristy

Anderson. “Throughout Denver and

the Colorado Front Range, we offer

customized services for athletes,

business travelers, and those seeking

overall health and wellness. This

incredible health tool yields immediate

results because you are receiving a

better absorption of vitamins,”

exclaimed Kristy.

Upon entering their office, you will

embark upon a truly unique

experience. Wooden paneling and

native Colorado materials accent the

walls and décor. The lighting and

accoutrement of the décor invoke

recreation, relaxation, and renewal. IV

units are hung from climbing ropes

and timber wooden panels surround

you. Their treatment space and VIP

room feature a comfortable lounge

experience with reclining chairs, Netflix

or X Box options, and fuzzy blankets

and organic tea complement your

relaxation. The staff will quickly obtain

a medical history and have you

complete a questionnaire upon your

arrival to assess what hydration therapy

best fits your individual needs. They

will obtain your blood pressure, temp,

pulse, oxygen, and vitals.

The Onus iV procedure delivers the

full effect of every vitamin and

compound your body needs. Most

infusion rates need between 30-45

minutes, however every body is

different. Because they are bypassing

your GI tract, the effects are typically

felt within the hour of treatment. Some

of their treatments are designed for

long-term benefits (cold and flu

defense, athletic preparation/muscle

EXECUTIVE

MENTORSHOP

PROGRAM

The DTC Chamber of

Commerce will be kicking off

its 4th year of the Executive

Mentorship Program. This

program pairs its young professional members (aged 25-39)

with seasoned business owners, corporate executives, and

community leaders in a nine-month mentoring relationship.

Its purpose is to enhance personal and professional growth in

an effort to build future leaders and a stronger business

community. There are both one-on-one and group mentoring

opportunities.

The program will commence on September 19, 2017, at the

Meet Your Mentor event. At this event, all of the mentors

and mentees gather for a pseudo “speed dating” type of

event. Each mentee gets an opportunity to meet each mentor

and provide feedback that is used in determining the mentor

relationship pairings.

For more information or to participate, please contact

Justin Nimock, DTC YP Mentorship Coordinator, at

10% of the purchase of every “Rockstar” drip to the Dear

Jack Foundation, which supports initiatives and provides

programming to promote positive health outcomes for

adolescents and young adults (AYA), ages 15-39, who are

battling cancer. During the holiday season a portion of the

infusion sales are given back to a variety of other

organizations as well.

Onus iV Hydration’s mobile unit is also available to be

dispatched throughout the Colorado Front Range, offering

full-service concierge assistance. Their treatments begin at

$65 and go up to $145, depending on the drip type selected.

With a minimum of four clients, a 10% discount is offered

when a pre-booked group is scheduled (e.g. golf

tournaments, bachelor parties, weddings, and cross fit

events). Onus iV also accepts payment through HSA and

FSA accounts.

GENERAL INTEREST

TAKEnote

OH RATS!

EASY TIPS TO

PROTECT YOUR HOME

AND PROPERTY

Rodents such as mice and rats can find

refuge in your home whether in the

kitchen, attic, basement, or dining

room through the smallest opening or

crack, and require very little space to

travel inside. Rodents seek shelter

indoors, especially during the cooler

fall and winter months, and once

inside can cause more than just an

unpleasant infestation. Rodents put

homes at risk for electrical fires by

gnawing through wires and they

frequently serve as vectors, carrying

bacteria, such as salmonella, on their

bodies and contaminating food

sources, kitchen surfaces and

equipment.

Once rodents get comfortable, they’re

difficult to relocate. Results won’t

happen overnight but given time and

consistent efforts, reductions are

possible. Fortunately, there are many

ways homeowners can proactively

prevent and get rid of rodent

infestations in their homes.

ELIMINATE FOOD,

WATER, AND HARBORAGE

FROM YOUR HOME

Step 1: Remove Sources Of Food

And Water

Mice and rats are opportunistic feeders

that will eat any food discarded by

humans. Eliminating their food and

water source is critical to controlling

them.

Indoors

• Clean up spilled food in cupboards

and on floors.

• Keep counters and food

preparation areas clear of food at

night.

• Keep all food packages tightly

sealed.

Outdoors

• Pick up trash and discarded food.

• Keep tightly sealed lids on garbage

cans.

• Store pet and bird food in sealed

containers.

• Prevent flooding from sprinkler

heads.

• Keep all foliage trimmed and neat.

• Overgrown bushes are prime

habitat for rats.

Step 2: Eliminate Rodent Habitats

In And Around Your Home

Indoors

• Clear out boxes and other clutter in

basements and storage areas.

• Store materials off the floors on

shelves, wherever possible.

Outdoors

• Remove clutter and debris.

• Keep grass, shrubs and other

vegetation around your home

trimmed.

• Trim overhanging trees that create

shadowy areas where rodents feel

protected.

Step 3: Prevent Rodents From

Entering Cracks And Crevices.

Identify areas that need to be sealed or

blocked. It’s important to remember

that rats can fit through an opening

around the size of a quarter and mice

can squeeze through an area smaller

than a dime, so be sure to conduct a

thorough inspection of your home —

inside and out.

• Repair holes in the foundation of

your home, garage or other affected

buildings as well as interior walls.

• Seal cracks and holes on the outside

of the home, including areas where

utilities and pipes enter the home,

using caulk, steel wool or a

combination of both.

• Seal any openings over one quarter

inch — particularly around doors

and windows.

• Screen vents and openings to

chimneys.

• Install self-closing devices on

frequently used doors.

• Install vinyl or rubber seals under

garage doors to eliminate gaps.

• Weather-strip gaps in doorways

leading into buildings.

• Make sure that the areas around

pipes, drains and vents are tightly

sealed.

• Cap chimneys and keep them in

good condition.

• Keep attics, basements and crawl

spaces well ventilated and dry.

• Replace loose mortar and weather

stripping around the basement

foundation and windows.

• Eliminate all moisture sites,

including leaking pipes and clogged

drains that provide the perfect

breeding site for pests.

• Inspect items such as boxes, grocery

bags and other packages brought

into the home.

• Store firewood at least 20 feet away

from the house and keep shrubbery

trimmed and cut back from the

house.

As you go about plugging, sealing, and

repairing your home, you can use a

variety of rodent-proofing materials to

complete the job, including:

• Steel Wool

• Hardware Cloth

• Perforated Metal

• Galvanized Sheet Metal

• Cement Mortar

If you suspect a pest infestation in

your home, contact a licensed pest

professional to inspect and treat the

pest problem. If you spot evidence of a

rodent infestation, do not hesitate to

act to handle the problem. Rodents are

known to reproduce quickly, and a

small problem can turn into a big issue

overnight if left untreated. GV
