ANOTHER<br />
SUCCESSFUL<br />
GREENWOOD<br />
VILLAGE DAY<br />
Greenwood Village Day once again<br />
was successful thanks to many Village<br />
employees. Their<br />
dedication provided a<br />
high level of service to<br />
create this memorable<br />
event for our residents.<br />
While I would like to list<br />
and personally thank<br />
each member of our staff,<br />
I will refrain from doing<br />
so for fear of missing<br />
someone. If you attended<br />

the event and interact<br />
with Village staff in the<br />
near future, please pass<br />
on your appreciation<br />
directly to them.<br />
I had the opportunity to observe<br />
Greenwood Village Day happenings<br />
and interact with many of you from<br />
the steering wheel of a golf cart. It was<br />
great to ride around and see all of our<br />
residents coming together to enjoy all<br />
the festivities, including the fireworks,<br />
which was another first-rate<br />
performance. I also enjoyed giving<br />
ride-alongs to members of the<br />
community and staff.<br />

BACK TO SCHOOL<br />
SAFETY<br />
Whether your student is headed back<br />
to elementary, middle, or high school,<br />
<strong>August</strong> can be an exciting yet busy<br />
time for everyone as they prepare for<br />
another year of learning. With all the<br />
fun and excitement, I want to make<br />
sure parents as well as students are<br />
aware of back to school safety tips to<br />
start the new school year right. You<br />
can find these important tips, provided<br />
by the Police Department on pages<br />
10-11 of this <strong>Newsletter</strong>. If you ever<br />
have any concerns related to your<br />
child’s safety, including traffic safety<br />
around schools, please don’t hesitate to<br />
contact your designated Police School<br />
Resource Officer or the Police<br />
Department at 303-773-2525.<br />
SUNDANCE HILLS<br />
PARADE<br />
During this year’s July 4th celebration,<br />
I was honored to participate in two<br />
parades with Sundance Hills and<br />
Village North neighborhoods. Bud<br />
Biggers provided his 1931 Ford Model<br />
A, driven by his college junior<br />
grandson Cherry Creek High School<br />
alumnus Mitchell Biggers, as my<br />
parade vehicle. Bud’s grandfather<br />
bought the vehicle from a Ford dealer<br />
as a new car. In pristine condition,<br />
with 32,000 plus miles, it was a<br />
memorable ride. Thanks Messieurs<br />
Biggers!<br />
AN EXCEPTIONAL<br />
CUSTOMER<br />
EXPERIENCE AT<br />
LANDMARK<br />
THEATRE<br />
Service is exceptional in Greenwood<br />
Village! For the past several months, as<br />
part of my report, I have highlighted a<br />
business and one of their employees<br />
who contribute to an exceptional<br />
customer service experience. After all,<br />
people are our most important asset!<br />
Ever since my parents took me to see<br />
Bambi and Fantasia, I have enjoyed<br />
movies. The cinema experience<br />
culminated with my appearance as an<br />
extra, with a center screen headshot, in<br />
Francis Ford Coppola’s, “Gardens of<br />
Stone.”<br />
Accordingly, this month, I recognize<br />
my favorite movie theatre usher, ticket<br />
tearer, and box office keeper —<br />
Mr. Ted Posselius. Ted has been at The<br />
Landmark Theatre at Greenwood<br />
Village since it first opened 10 years<br />
ago. A retired attorney, Ted has been<br />
Mayor Ron Rakowsky with Bud Biggers<br />
and his Model A Ford.<br />

Commission:<br />
Kathy<br />
McClintock<br />
District 4<br />
(reappointment)<br />
Kathy McClintock<br />
has lived in<br />
Colorado since<br />
she was a<br />
toddler. After<br />
graduating from George Washington High<br />
School, she earned a Geology degree and<br />
worked in the mineral industry during the<br />

years, and is still teaching outdoor<br />
education classes at the Plains<br />

With her husband Bruce, she moved to<br />
Greenwood Village in 1990 to raise their<br />
two children, Jamie and Hanna. The great<br />
schools, parks, outdoor open space, and<br />
vibrant community, made it a wonderful<br />
choice! As empty nesters, Greenwood<br />
Village continues to be a great place for<br />
them to live. Besides outdoor education,<br />
her current passions are: gardening,<br />
biking and is on the board of the local<br />
food bank, Covenant Cupboard.<br />
Kathy has enjoyed the work and people on<br />
the PTR commission since 2011 and is<br />
delighted to help with the efforts to<br />
continue to preserve open space and<br />
enhance our Greenwood Village parks and<br />
trails.<br />

ENHANCING OUR<br />
community<br />
VILLAGE CENTER STATION<br />
FINAL OFFICE TOWER<br />
COMPLETED<br />
SPECTRUM COMMUNICATIONS<br />
IS SOLE TENANT<br />
This summer, Shea Properties completed construction of<br />
Village Center Station II (Spectrum Plaza), the final building<br />
of their Village Center Station development located on the<br />
west side of I-25, just north of the Arapahoe Light Rail<br />
Station. The Class AA building sits on 5.1 acres and<br />
encompasses a 12-story office tower, a 7- level parking<br />
structure with 1,200 car parking spaces, a 2-story wrapper<br />
building for screening, all totaling 325,000 square feet. The<br />
development included extension of the Plaza that was<br />
completed in 2015, and 9,500 square feet of retail/restaurant<br />
space within the ground floor of the wrapper building,<br />
adjacent to the plaza.<br />
“Spectrum Plaza was the final piece that makes Shea’s vision<br />
of developing a high quality development of three office<br />
towers, with a pedestrian plaza and community gathering<br />
place a reality,” said Mayor Ron Rakowsky. “The<br />
development speaks for itself as it embodies a stunning<br />
architectural statement that portrays perfection for an office<br />
environment in Greenwood Village and along the I-25<br />
corridor.”<br />
Shea Properties development at Village Center Station, which<br />
have been or will be LEED green certified, includes<br />
construction of a total of three office towers; Village Center<br />
Station I was completed in 2008; the second tower, the<br />
CoBank Center was completed in December 2015; and the<br />
third and final building — Spectrum Plaza is now complete<br />
and is fully occupied by Spectrum (Charter)<br />
Communications and will be home to 1,800 employees.<br />
“The three-building campus, adjacent to the plaza, is a<br />
realization of the original master plan. We have been true to<br />
a vision of creating a modern office campus energized by a<br />
common outdoor amenity and gathering place with ground<br />
level-retail. We are proud to see the last piece of the puzzle<br />
being developed,” said Peter Culshaw, Executive Vice<br />
President, Shea Properties.<br />
The development of the Village Center and its nearly 98<br />
acres around the Arapahoe Light Rail Station also included<br />
completion in 2017 of Granite Place at Village Center on the<br />
east side of I-25 adjacent to the light rail station. Granite<br />
Place at Village Center includes 280,000-square foot office<br />
property on 5.24 acres, consisting of a 10-story, Class AA<br />
office building with a separate six-story, 986 parking space<br />
structure. The building is located within walking distance of<br />
the Arapahoe Light Rail Station.<br />
“For nearly 10 years, we have been working with major<br />
landowners on the development of our Village Center on<br />
both sides of I-25,” said Mayor Ron Rakowsky. “We<br />
appreciate the investment the business community has made<br />
in Greenwood Village and high quality development that has<br />
made our community a special place to conduct business and<br />
work.”<br />

MAKING A difference<br />
ORDINANCE<br />
UPDATE<br />
WILD ANIMALS<br />
AND WILD BIRDS<br />
This is a “corrected” version from<br />
the original version printed in<br />
the July 2018 <strong>Newsletter</strong>.<br />
The Village Code was recently<br />
amended regarding wild animals and<br />
wild birds in Greenwood Village. The<br />
amended ordinance allows property<br />
owners the ability to protect their<br />
personal and real property from<br />
damage from wild animals when it is<br />
safe to do so, allowing the use of both<br />
lethal and non-lethal control activities<br />
under certain conditions. The specific<br />
changes are as follows:<br />
• Except as necessary for the<br />
protection of real or personal<br />
property against harm<br />
from wild animals<br />
itemized in C.R.S.<br />
33-6-107(9) such as<br />
coyotes, gophers,<br />
raccoons and rabbits,<br />
it is unlawful for any<br />
person to willfully<br />
shoot, capture, harass,<br />
injure or destroy any<br />
wild bird or wild<br />
animal or to attempt<br />
to shoot, capture,<br />
harass, injure, or<br />
destroy any such wild<br />
bird or wild animal<br />
within the city.<br />
• Non-lethal control<br />
activities in which<br />
there is no direct<br />
contact with geese and<br />
that do not result in<br />
harm to the geese,<br />
goslings, eggs or nests<br />
are allowed.<br />
Although it does<br />
allow lethal<br />
control of wild<br />
animals causing<br />
harm to real or<br />
personal<br />
property, the<br />
ordinance does<br />
not allow the<br />
discharge of a<br />
firearm except<br />
on private<br />
property and<br />
provided that<br />
discharged<br />
projectiles do<br />
not leave the<br />
property’s<br />
boundary. Other than the exception<br />
for protecting property from damage,<br />
the ordinance continues to prohibit<br />
the willful destruction of nests, nesting<br />
place, burrows, eggs or young of any<br />
wild bird or wild animal.<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />
ENSURING A SAFE<br />
community<br />
The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protect residents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain a crime-free<br />
environment requires an active, engaged, and aware community. Remember — the most important single act you can do is to be aware of<br />
your surroundings at all times and call the Police to report crimes or suspicious activities! As an observer, if the situation doesn’t look or<br />
feel right, it probably is not. By going with your instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress or save the life of a neighbor.<br />
BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY<br />
TRAVELING TO AND FROM SCHOOL<br />
School Bus<br />
• If your child’s school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make<br />
sure your child uses one at all times when in the bus.<br />
• Wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the<br />
curb.<br />
• Do not move around on the bus.<br />
• Check to see that no other traffic is coming before<br />
crossing the street.<br />
• Make sure to always remain in clear view of the bus driver.<br />
• Tell your child not to bend down in front of the bus to tie<br />
shoes or pick up objects, as the driver may not see him<br />
before starting to move.<br />
• Children should always board and exit the bus at locations<br />
that provide safe access to the bus or to the school<br />
building.<br />
Cars<br />
• All passengers should wear a seat belt and/or use an ageand<br />
size-appropriate car safety seat or booster seat.<br />
• All children younger than 13 years of age should ride in<br />
the rear seat of vehicles. If you must drive more children<br />
than can fit in the rear seat (when carpooling, for<br />
example), move the front-seat passenger’s seat as far back<br />
as possible and have the child ride in a booster seat if the<br />
seat belts do not fit properly without it.<br />
• Require seat belt use and limit the number of teen<br />
passengers. Do not allow eating, drinking, cell phone<br />
conversations or texting to prevent driver distraction; and<br />
limit nighttime driving and driving in inclement weather.<br />
Bicycles<br />
• Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or<br />
long the ride.<br />
• Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic.<br />
• Use appropriate hand signals, and respect traffic lights and<br />
stop signs.<br />
• Wear bright colored clothing to increase visibility.<br />
Walking To School<br />
• Make sure your child’s walk to a school is a safe route with<br />
well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.<br />
Make sure your child walks to school on a safe route and always<br />
with at least one other child.<br />
• Carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to<br />
walk to school without adult supervision.<br />
• Brightly colored clothing will make your child more<br />
visible to drivers.<br />
• Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides<br />
or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone<br />
you or your children don’t know well or don’t trust.<br />
• Be sure that your child knows his or her home phone<br />
number and address, your work number, the number of<br />
another trusted adult and how to call 911 for emergencies.<br />
BULLYING<br />
When Your Child Is Bullied<br />
• Help your child learn how to respond by looking the<br />
bully in the eye, stand tall and stay calm, and walk away.<br />
• Teach your child when and how to ask for help and make<br />
friends with others.<br />
• Alert school officials to the problems and work with them<br />
on solutions.<br />
• Make sure an adult who knows about the bullying can<br />
watch out for your child’s safety and well-being when you<br />
cannot be there.<br />
When Your Child Is The Bully<br />
• Be sure your child knows that bullying is never OK.<br />
• Set firm and consistent limits on your child’s<br />
PG. 10 GV NEWSLETTER | AUGUST 2018
GOVERNMENT<br />
aggressive behavior.<br />
• Be a positive role model, and use effective, non-physical<br />
discipline, such as loss of privileges.<br />
• Develop practical solutions with the school principal,<br />
teachers, counselors, and parents of the children your<br />
child has bullied.<br />
DRIVERS IN SCHOOL ZONES<br />
• The Flashing Yellow Light, School Zone areas indicate<br />
that traffic must slow down from the beginning of the<br />
lights until the next speed limit sign or signage that<br />
indicates the school zone has ended. School Zone times<br />
vary, and it is the driver’s responsibility to be aware and<br />
drive according to the posted signs and lights.<br />
• Fines are doubled in school zones.<br />
• Stop for school buses. Colorado law dictates a driver of a<br />
vehicle, upon meeting from either direction any school<br />
bus which has stopped and has activated its red flashing<br />
lights, is required to stop the vehicle. Drivers do not need<br />
to stop for a school bus upon meeting or passing a school<br />
bus which is on a different roadway. School bus drivers are<br />
authorized to report violators to the appropriate law<br />
enforcement agency who may issue a citation on the basis<br />
of the information provided.<br />
• Remember that the sun can obscure your vision any<br />
time of the year. Use visors and sunglasses to reduce glare<br />
and make it easier to see pedestrians.<br />
• Pedestrians, once in a crosswalk, have the right of way.<br />
If you maintain a safe speed for conditions and foot traffic<br />
you should have plenty of time to slow down and stop<br />
safely.<br />
• When the traffic lights go to yellow is the time to slow<br />
Drivers should be cautious when driving around schools and<br />
obey all traffic regulations for the safety of students.<br />
down and prepare to stop. Please don’t drive to beat the<br />
lights. They are timed based on the speed limits and<br />
traffic. When you rush one light you often just get<br />
stopped at the next one.<br />
• Be patient, be aware. Many people are distracted in these<br />
hurried times. Make sure the intersection is clear of people<br />
and traffic before going ahead, even if you do have a green<br />
light.<br />
• Right on Red. Where allowed, and not all intersections<br />
are clear for right on red, the car at the red light does not<br />
have the right of way. Cars turning on arrows, or going<br />
with the flow of traffic always have the right of way.<br />
For more information on back to school safety tips or rules<br />
for drivers in school zones, please call the Police Department<br />
at 303-773-2525. GV<br />

undertake a high level of responsibility<br />
to ensure the safe and legal delivery of<br />
alcohol to their patrons.<br />

5302 DTC Boulevard • Village Plaza Shopping Center • asa-sushimgl.com • 720-242-8349<br />
Lunch: Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m.; Dinner: Monday-Thursday 4-9:30 p.m., Friday-Saturday 4-10 p.m., Sunday 1-8 p.m.<br />
Looking for a fun lunch spot with<br />
great food and a relaxing environment<br />
or a restaurant with generous after<br />
work specials? Desire a restaurant<br />
where you can enjoy a variety of<br />
delicious meal choices including highquality<br />
sushi, sashimi and Mongolian<br />
dishes? If this sounds like your kind of<br />
place, look no further than the<br />
recently opened ASA Sushi, the newest<br />
sushi restaurant to open in the City of<br />
Greenwood Village.<br />
ASA Sushi is a family owned and<br />
operated local restaurant, managed by<br />
Emma, that strives to bring a touch of<br />
warmth and quality to the community.<br />
Emma, who grew up in Colorado, has<br />
always felt very close to Greenwood<br />
Village from her siblings attending<br />
Cherry Creek High School to enjoying<br />
many of the community events<br />
provided in the City. Being part of the<br />
Greenwood Village community<br />
growing up made her decision very<br />
simple when deciding where she<br />
wanted to open ASA Sushi. The owner<br />
took over an existing express sushi<br />
business and completely renovated the<br />
interior and character to create ASA<br />
Sushi, a place where customer<br />
satisfaction is a top priority.<br />
Emma stated, “I didn’t know what to<br />
expect working with the City in the<br />
beginning; however, after going to<br />
City Hall and talking with the City’s<br />
community representatives, I felt<br />
relieved at how welcoming the City<br />
made me feel.” This experience<br />
confirmed Emma’s vision about<br />
Greenwood Village being an ideal<br />
environment to start her business.<br />
Emma established ASA Sushi on the<br />
foundation to always choose quality<br />
over quantity and to ensure the<br />
meeting of customers’ satisfaction at<br />
every meal. She also focuses on<br />
customer attentiveness to make sure<br />
customers are pleased with every dish<br />
and encourages customer feedback to<br />
support the development of dishes to<br />
reach an even higher standard. Emma<br />
said, “We pay close attention to the<br />
small details not only in preparing<br />
their food but to the needs of our<br />
customers to provide an above and<br />
beyond experience to all that come.”<br />
ASA Sushi offers a variety of sushi,<br />
sashimi, house rolls and Mongolian<br />
dishes all prepared by their sushi chef<br />
with over 15 years of experience.<br />
Dishes rotate daily as all products are<br />
handpicked from a variety of vendors<br />
to ensure freshness and high quality.<br />
With daily lunch specials, the menu is<br />
always changing and includes a large<br />
selection of special house rolls like the<br />
ASA Roll (with a whole lobster tail<br />
inside), lobster salad, cucumber/<br />
asparagus/snow crab salad with garlic<br />
butter and a DTC Roll that is deep<br />
fried with spicy tuna, jalapeno, cream<br />
cheese and topped with unagi sauce,<br />
masago and crunch.<br />
In addition to the mouth-watering<br />
dishes offered at ASA Sushi, there is a<br />
full bar offering a variety of beer, sake<br />
and wine. Currently they are offering a<br />
“buy one get one half price” deal<br />
during happy hour from 4:30 p.m.<br />
until 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.<br />
ASA Sushi is designed to create an<br />
enjoyable ambiance which makes<br />

THE VILLAGE READ<br />
FOR 2018<br />
For the second year in a row the<br />
Greenwood Village Cultural Arts<br />
Program has partnered with<br />
Arapahoe Libraries to present the<br />
“Village Read.” The idea<br />
encourages adults of all ages to<br />
read one book and participate<br />
in thought-provoking<br />
discussions and activities derived<br />
from the chosen book. The goals of the program are<br />
to encourage leisure reading, create community conversations<br />
and bring the community together through literature.<br />
This year the group has chosen the book “White Plains” by<br />
Colorado author David Hicks. In “White Plains,” Flynn<br />
Hawkins is a graduate assistant at a prestigious university, on<br />
his way to greatness and wisdom. But in the aftermath of<br />
9/11, Flynn leaves his unhappy marriage and beloved<br />
children, resigns his teaching position, and heads west, only<br />
to get lost in his guilt and in the mountains of Colorado.<br />
When he ends up stuck overnight in a snow drift during a<br />
blizzard on the Continental Divide, he realizes he needs to<br />
remake himself into the kind of man his children need him<br />
to be. With wit and insight, David Hicks turns a<br />
compassionate but unblinking eye on what it means to be<br />
human — to be lost while putting yourself back together<br />
again, to be cowardly while being brave, to fail and fail again<br />
on the way to something that might<br />
be success.<br />
This year’s program will begin with<br />
the Mayor’s Kickoff on <strong>August</strong> 2 at<br />
7 p.m. at Koelbel Library.<br />
Greenwood Village Mayor Ron<br />
Rakowsky will interview the author<br />

GREENWOOD VILLAGE ARTS<br />
AND HUMANITIES COUNCIL<br />
2019 SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS<br />
On July 2, the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities<br />
Council awarded their annual scholarships. The awards go to<br />
two graduating seniors attending Arapahoe County schools<br />
or living in Greenwood Village, that are pursuing degrees in<br />
the arts. Each student receives $3,000 and their high schools<br />
receive a $500 award for their art program. This year’s<br />
winners are Hanna Dotson from Grandview High School<br />
and Isaac Shin from Cherry Creek High School.<br />
HANNA DOTSON<br />
Hanna Dotson<br />
graduated from<br />
Grandview High<br />
School in May 2018.<br />
As a lover of theater<br />
she has performed in<br />
and worked on 23<br />
shows between 6th<br />
grade and senior year<br />
including children’s<br />
theatre, high school<br />
theatre and<br />
professional theatre in the Denver community. Hanna has<br />
taken classes at the Denver Center for The Performing Arts<br />
for three years and this year worked as a student counselor<br />
there. Hanna’s all-time favorite performing experience is<br />
Broadway to Africa, an annual musical revue that helps bring<br />
teenagers from Africa and the Middle East to YoungLife<br />
camps. When she is not taking voice, acting and dance<br />
lessons, she enjoys game night with her family and baking<br />
cookies. She is excited to spend the next four years doing<br />
what she loves most as she pursues her Bachelor of Fine Arts<br />
in Musical Theater at Millikin University in Illinois.<br />
ISAAC SHIN<br />
Isaac began drawing<br />
dinosaurs at a young age.<br />
Over time, he realized<br />
that his artwork always<br />
had meaning and his had<br />
been influenced by<br />
personal experiences and<br />
beliefs. He believes that<br />
art is a topic that no one<br />
will ever fully<br />
understand. People often<br />
ask him, “What does<br />
your artwork symbolize?” The idea that his compositions<br />
always needed to have artistic significance frustrated him. He<br />
just wanted to draw for fun and construct beautiful pieces.<br />
His respect for the natural beauty of the world influences the<br />
outcome of his artwork. He believes that in today’s society<br />
people are so busy in their daily lives that they fail to see the<br />
beauty in everything around them; therefore, they disrupt the<br />
natural flow of the world. He is an artist dedicated to pulling<br />
the covers off the issues and natural beauties that have arisen<br />
and existed in this world. Isaac will be pursuing his Fine Arts<br />
degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago this<br />
fall.<br />
ART WITH A HEART<br />
Renee Reese, an art instructor at the Curtis Center for the Arts, believes in the power of giving and receiving an old fashioned<br />
greeting card. She also knows the healing power of art, so she combined the two into a special class. In June, the Curtis Center<br />
for the Arts hosted “Art with a Heart.” In this class, led by Renee, students created inspirational greetings cards with watercolor to<br />
give to the Children’s Hospital of Colorado. The cards will be given to patients, parents and even staff when they need a little<br />
pick me up. The cards were filled with handwritten messages, like “Bee Strong,” and whimsical images to help brighten<br />
someone’s day and help them get through challenging times.<br />
The students had such a blast creating the cards that another<br />
class is being planned.<br />
