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 />

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 />

With her husband Bruce, she moved to<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 />

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 />

issues on your personal property,<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 />

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 />

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 />

devastating impact on an entire<br />

community. Businesses and servers<br />

undertake a high level of responsibility<br />

to ensure the safe and legal delivery of<br />

alcohol to their patrons.<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 />
