GREENWOOD

VILLAGE DAY

If you attended Greenwood Village

Day in July, I hope you had a great

time like I did. The event this year

was extra special for me as it was my

last Greenwood Village Day as your

Mayor. The Parks, Trails, and

Recreation staff

did a superb job

of bringing it all

together to make

this event the

best one yet! I

want to thank

every resident

that attended for

your thoughtful

comments and heartfelt

recognition during the event. There are no words to express

how appreciative I am of being able to serve as your Mayor

for eight and 2/3 years and living in this community for 31

years. The people of this community are truly the reason why

Greenwood Village is a special place. Thank you so much!

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY

Whether your student is headed back to elementary, middle,

or high school, August can be an exciting, yet busy, time for

everyone as they prepare for another year of learning. With

all the fun and excitement, I want to ensure parents, as well

as students, are aware of back to school safety tips to start the

new school year right. You can find these important tips,

provided by your Police Department on pages 8 and 9 of this

Newsletter. If you ever have any concerns related to your

child’s safety, including traffic safety around schools, please

don’t hesitate to contact your designated Police School

Resource Officer or the Police Department at 303-773-2525.

RECOGNIZING VILLAGE HEROES

Congratulations to Greenwood Village resident of 24 years,

Janet Fuqua, our latest Village Hero!

Janet is the best neighbor anyone could ever ask for! Some

things Janet does for the community include:

• preparing meals for needy people;

• taking care of dogs and houses;

• picking up trash wherever she walks;

• knowing the landscape crews in the Village;

• saying hello to every person she walks by and knowing

every dog by name;

• teaching hundreds of Village kids at Whee Preschool. It’s

hard for her to go anywhere without a “Hi Mrs. Fuqua”

shout from a current or former student;

• encouraging the youth running on the paths with “good

job, keep it going!”;

GOVERNMENT

ENSURING A SAFE

community

The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protect residents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain a crime-free

environment requires an active, engaged, and aware community. Remember — the most important single act you can do is to be aware of

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

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.

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY

TRAVELING TO AND FROM SCHOOL

School Bus

• If your child’s school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make

sure your child uses one at all times when in the bus.

• Wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the

curb.

• Do not move around on the bus.

• Check to see that no other traffic is coming before

crossing the street.

• Make sure to always remain in clear view of the bus driver.

• Tell your child not to bend down in front of the bus to tie

shoes or pick up objects, as the driver may not see him

before starting to move.

• Children should always board and exit the bus at locations

that provide safe access to the bus or to the school

building.

Cars

• All passengers should wear a seat belt and/or use an ageand

size-appropriate car safety seat or booster seat.

• All children younger than 13 years of age should ride in

the rear seat of vehicles. If you must drive more children

than can fit in the rear seat (when carpooling, for

example), move the front-seat passenger’s seat as far back

as possible and have the child ride in a booster seat if the

seat belts do not fit properly without it.

• Require seat belt use and limit the number of teen

passengers. Do not allow eating, drinking, cell phone

conversations or texting to prevent driver distraction; and

limit nighttime driving and driving in inclement weather.

Bicycles

• Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or

long the ride.

• Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic.

• Use appropriate hand signals, and respect traffic lights and

stop signs.

• Wear bright colored clothing to increase visibility.

Walking To School

• Make sure your child’s walk to a school is a safe route with

well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.

Make sure your child walks to school on a safe route and always

with at least one other child.

• Carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to

walk to school without adult supervision.

• Brightly colored clothing will make your child more

visible to drivers.

• Teach your child never to talk to strangers or accept rides

or gifts from strangers. Remember, a stranger is anyone

you or your children don’t know well or don’t trust.

• Be sure that your child knows his or her home phone

number and address, your work number, the number of

another trusted adult and how to call 911 for emergencies.

BULLYING

When Your Child Is Bullied

• Help your child learn how to respond by looking the

bully in the eye, stand tall and stay calm, and walk away.

• Teach your child when and how to ask for help and make

friends with others.

• Alert school officials to the problems and work with them

on solutions.

• Make sure an adult who knows about the bullying can

watch out for your child’s safety and well-being when you

cannot be there.

When Your Child Is The Bully

• Be sure your child knows that bullying is never OK.


GOVERNMENT

• When the traffic lights go to yellow is the time to slow

down and prepare to stop. Please don’t drive to beat the

lights. They are timed based on the speed limits and

traffic. When you rush one light you often just get

stopped at the next one.

• Be patient, be aware. Many people are distracted in these

hurried times. Make sure the intersection is clear of people

and traffic before going ahead, even if you do have a green

light.

• Right on Red. Where allowed, and not all intersections

are clear for right on red, the car at the red light does not

have the right of way. Cars turning on arrows, or going

with the flow of traffic always have the right of way.

Drivers should be cautious when driving around schools and

obey all traffic regulations for the safety of students.

• Set firm and consistent limits on your child’s

aggressive behavior.

• Be a positive role model, and use effective,

non-physical discipline, such as loss of

privileges.

• Develop practical solutions with the school

principal, teachers, counselors, and parents

of the children your child has bullied.

DRIVERS IN SCHOOL ZONES

• The Flashing Yellow Light, School Zone

areas indicate that traffic must slow

down from the beginning of the lights

until the next speed limit sign or signage

that indicates the school zone has ended.

School Zone times vary, and it is the

driver’s responsibility to be aware and drive

according to the posted signs and lights.

• Fines are doubled in school zones.

• Stop for school buses. Colorado law

dictates a driver of a vehicle, upon meeting

from either direction any school bus which

has stopped and has activated its red

flashing lights, is required to stop the

vehicle. Drivers do not need to stop for a

school bus upon meeting or passing a

school bus which is on a different roadway.

School bus drivers are authorized to report

violators to the appropriate law

enforcement agency who may issue a

citation on the basis of the information

provided.

• Remember that the sun can obscure your

vision any time of the year. Use visors

and sunglasses to reduce glare and make it

easier to see pedestrians.

• Pedestrians, once in a crosswalk, have

the right of way. If you maintain a safe

speed for conditions and foot traffic you

should have plenty of time to slow down

and stop safely.

For more information on back to school safety tips or rules

for drivers in school zones, please call the Police Department

at 303-773-2525. GV

OUR NATURAL

environment

WATER QUALITY:

EVERYONE

PLAYS A PART

The Village is a beautiful place to live,

work and play. We enjoy parks, trails,

open space and drainageways,

including streams and ponds, and the

entire community takes pride in

protecting and preserving our natural

environment. However, maintaining a

high quality environment is no small

task, especially when it comes to our

surface water resources and water

quality. Although the Village works

together with residents and businesses

to protect these valuable resources to

maintain quality of life, we need your

help to continue to make it better.

Water quality is important for all,

whether you drink, fish, swim or enjoy

a walk along a drainageway, we all play

a role in keeping our environment

clean and free of pollutants.

WHAT IS STORMWATER?

Perhaps one of the greatest impacts to

surface water resources is pollutants in

stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff

occurs when rain or snowmelt flows

over impervious (non-absorbent)

surfaces such as rooftops, driveways,

parking lots, and streets. This runoff

moves over these impervious surfaces

and makes it way to storm drains, and

eventually drainageways, streams and

ponds. The runoff picks up trash,

sediment, chemicals (fertilizers,

herbicides, pesticides, oil, etc.), pet

waste, and other pollutants and

deposits them directly into water

bodies that we use for fishing,

swimming and drinking. These

pollutants can also affect aquatic

habitat and wildlife. Stormwater

runoff is not cleaned in a water

treatment plant like the water used in

your home so it is important to reduce

the chances of pollutants becoming

accidentally or intentionally

introduced into our surface water and

environment.

ELIMINATING

ILLICIT DISCHARGE

An illicit discharge occurs when

something other than stormwater is

allowed to enter the storm drainage

system. The term “illicit discharge”

generally refers to any discharge to the

storm drain system that is not

composed entirely of stormwater. The

cause can be intentional such as when

someone deliberately dumps

chemicals, waste or trash into the

storm drain. Illicit discharges can be

accidental (from a sanitary sewer or

grease trap overflow or motor vehicle

accident) and unintentional, when

people leave household chemicals,

grass clippings or pet waste in an area

where stormwater may carry the

contaminant to the storm drain.

There are allowable non-stormwater

discharges that can be discharged into

the storm drain. These include but are

not limited to potable water sources

including firefighting activities that do

not contain hazardous materials, street

sweeper wash water, landscape

irrigation, dechlorinated swimming

pool discharges, uncontaminated sump

pumps/foundation drains, water line

flushing, agricultural stormwater

runoff, diverted stream flows,

uncontaminated groundwater and

others listed in the Villages’ municipal

code. The Village has a regulatory

mechanism that includes enforcement

actions and trained staff to detect

pollutants, but also relies on residents

and businesses to report suspicious

activity that may contribute to an

illicit discharge.

The goal of the Village’s illicit

discharge detection and elimination

system is to reduce the frequency and

environmental impacts of illicit

discharges that are accidentally or

intentionally dumped into the storm

drain system.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Becoming aware of the outcome of

everyday activities will reduce the

chances of pollutants becoming

accidentally introduced into our water

and the environment. As Village

residents, each of us can play a role in

protecting our water and the

environment. The next time you see

water runoff during a snow or rain

event, think about the people

downstream who count on us for clean

water and wildlife that depend on it

for their survival, just as the people

upstream affect the water you drink

and use as well.

• Never dump anything down a

storm drain.

• Ensure carpet cleaners and mobile

pet washing operations dispose of

wastewater to an indoor drain or

drain to a landscape area where the

water can infiltrate.

• Dechlorinate pool water before

draining and try to divert the flow

to a landscape area to allow the

water to infiltrate into the ground.

Ensure that no downstream

flooding or erosion occurs.

• It’s more convenient than ever to

recycle paint products in Colorado.

Participate in PaintCare Colorado

to dispose and recycle your unused

paint materials. Visit

www.paintcare.org or call


GOVERNMENT

855-724-6809 to locate a retailer

near you. If you have leftover latex

or water based paint, you can also

dry it out or fill it with kitty litter

and once absorbed, set into the

trash for pickup.

• Participate in the Village’s

Household Hazardous Waste

curbside pickup by calling

800-449-7587. Visit

www.greenwoodvillage.com for a

list of acceptable items for pickup.

• Pick up and properly dispose of pet

waste. Pet waste stations can be

found along Village parks and trails.

• Keep your street clean of debris and

litter by keeping waste receptacle

lids secured.

• Properly dispose of yard waste by

mulching or bagging leaves and

grass clippings and do not sweep or

blow yard waste into the street or

gutter.

• Avoid excessive use of yard

chemicals, use phosphorous free

fertilizers and perform a soil test

before application. Read labels,

apply sparingly — more is not

better. Ensure that grass clippings

are swept back onto the grass and

not in the street.

• Use phosphorous free soaps when

washing your car and let the water

drain to a landscape area. Consider

using a commercial car wash, which

conserves water and sends used water

to the wastewater treatment plant.

PLEASE REPORT

ILLEGAL DUMPING

In order to keep our environment

clean and to protect our high quality

of life, please report any suspected

illegal dumping or illicit discharge by

calling Greenwood Village Public

Works at 303-708-6100 during

normal business hours. After normal

business hours, please call Police

Dispatch at 303-773-2525.

How to detect an illicit discharge:

Visual observations of anyone

dumping ANY substance into a storm

drain inlet or into the flow line along

the curb and gutter on any street.

Keep your safety in mind and if

possible, record the location, date,

time and license plate number rather

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PROTECT

WATER QUALITY IN OUR WATERWAYS

than approach the potential violator at

the time of the incident. Note any odd

color, odor, sheen or floatable

materials observed within storm

drains, along roadways, open space,

streams and ponds.

For more information about the

Village’s illicit discharge detection and

elimination program or Household

Hazardous and Electronic Waste

Program, please call Public Works

Department at 303-708-6100. GV

Historically, in the Front Range, waterways including streams, ponds, and lakes have

seen water quality impacts with excessive algae growth. Although some algae can be

beneficial, excessive algae growth can be unsightly, decrease dissolved oxygen levels,

and emit odor. This can negatively impact aquatic life, and interfere with swimming,

fishing, and other recreational activities.

Such upsets can be contributed to weather, stormwater runoff laden with nutrients

including nitrogen, phosphorous, pet waste, algae accumulation, and in some cases,

non-natural contributions from illicit activity. Although there are means to treat these

symptoms, it is better to treat it at the source. Preventing these natural upsets from

occurring in the first place is preferable and less costly than controlling once they

become a problem.

The key to long-term control is limiting and reducing the input of pollutants to

waterways. Pollutants include nutrients, pet waste, leaves and grass clippings, fertilizers

(which contain phosphorous and nitrogen), pesticides, soaps, and detergents.

• Pick up after our pets.

• Properly apply fertilizer and pesticides.

• Ensure that grass clippings remain on the grass and are not swept into the gutters

and waterways.

• Ensure carpet cleaning services properly dispose of waste water.

• Participate in Household Hazardous Waste Pickup by calling 800-449-7587 for

information and to schedule a pickup time.

For disposal of paint care products, participate in the Colorado Paint Stewardship

program at www.paintcare.org or call 855-724-6809 to find your nearest drop off site.

For more information on water quality, please call Greenwood Village Public Works at

low-impact cardio, resistance training,

stretching and rhythm-based rowing is

a rewarding and energetic workout for

all ages.

The owners of the Row House

Greenwood Village, Brandon and

Dayana Gill, are excited to open this

new health fitness studio. Dayana is

from Brazil where she was a Physical

Therapist. After coming to Colorado,

she opened her own Pilates studio

where she met her husband Brandon.

After a break to start a family, the Gills

yearned to get back to helping

individuals reach their fitness goals

and found Row House.

THE VILLAGE

READ FOR 2019

Celebrating its third year, the

Greenwood Village Cultural

Arts Program has once again

partnered with Arapahoe

Libraries to present the

“Village Read.” The idea

encourages adults of all

ages to read one book and

participate in thoughtprovoking

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.

This year the group has chosen the book Rush by Colorado

author Jayme Mansfield. In Rush, Mary, a single mom, tries

to strike her claim in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1893. In

competition with

desperate

homesteaders, ruthless

land seekers and a

sheriff determined to

see her fail, Mary

thrusts her flag in the

dirt to claim 160 acres

of her own. But with

that claim, she risks

more than she ever

could imagine. Mary is

faced with a past

riddled with loss,

hardship and

reminders that a

woman isn’t capable of

surviving on her own.

Will Mary’s stubborn

and independent spirit

keep her mired in the

past? Or will she find Jayme Mansfield

forgiveness and love in the wild plains of the Midwest?

GREENWOOD

VILLAGE OPEN

STUDIO TOUR

In 2014, a group of artists located in

rural Greenwood Village joined forces

to begin what is now known as the

Women of Steele Studio Tour. These

women had been surprised to learn

that between them they had four

active art studios within a few hundred

yards of each other in a neighborhood

of quaint equine beauty.

The circumstances were ideal for an

event that would celebrate these artists’

work and workspaces. Thus began

their annual tradition of opening their

art studios to the public for a day.

Now in its fifth year, the studio tour

has become a much-anticipated event

with golf cart rides on dirt roads and

guest artists.

This year the City of Greenwood

Village’s Cultural Arts Program has

partnered with these artists to

encompass more neighborhoods and

more artists. The studio tour takes

place on September 7 from 10 a.m. to

6 p.m. There will be eight open

studios, hosting 16 artists, located

throughout Greenwood Village.

Studios include: Pat Aaron (Painter,

Printmaker, Sculptor); Deborah

Carlson (Glass Artist); Connie Dines

(Photographer); Joellyn Duesberry

(Painter); Jennifer Freeman (Painter);

Amy Mower (Jewelry Artist); and

Tina Suszynski

(Sculptor). Guest

Artists include:

Susan Bell
