GREENWOOD<br />

VILLAGE DAY<br />

If you attended Greenwood Village<br />

Day in July, I hope you had a great<br />

time like I did. The event this year<br />

was extra special for me as it was my<br />

last Greenwood Village Day as your<br />

Mayor. The Parks, Trails, and<br />

Recreation staff<br />

did a superb job<br />

of bringing it all<br />

together to make<br />

this event the<br />

best one yet! I<br />

want to thank<br />

every resident<br />

that attended for<br />

your thoughtful<br />

comments and heartfelt<br />

recognition during the event. There are no words to express<br />

how appreciative I am of being able to serve as your Mayor<br />

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

years. The people of this community are truly the reason why<br />

Greenwood Village is a special place. Thank you so much!<br />

BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY<br />

Whether your student is headed back to elementary, middle,<br />

or high school, <strong>August</strong> can be an exciting, yet busy, time for<br />

everyone as they prepare for another year of learning. With<br />

all the fun and excitement, I want to ensure parents, as well<br />

as students, are aware of back to school safety tips to start the<br />

new school year right. You can find these important tips,<br />

provided by your Police Department on pages 8 and 9 of this<br />

<strong>Newsletter</strong>. If you ever have any concerns related to your<br />

child’s safety, including traffic safety around schools, please<br />

don’t hesitate to contact your designated Police School<br />

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

PG. 8 GV NEWSLETTER | AUGUST 2019


GOVERNMENT<br />

• When the traffic lights go to yellow is the time to slow<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 />

Drivers should be cautious when driving around schools and<br />

obey all traffic regulations for the safety of students.<br />

• Set firm and consistent limits on your child’s<br />

aggressive behavior.<br />

• Be a positive role model, and use effective,<br />

non-physical discipline, such as loss of<br />

privileges.<br />

• Develop practical solutions with the school<br />

principal, teachers, counselors, and parents<br />

of the children your child has bullied.<br />

DRIVERS IN SCHOOL ZONES<br />

• The Flashing Yellow Light, School Zone<br />

areas indicate that traffic must slow<br />

down from the beginning of the lights<br />

until the next speed limit sign or signage<br />

that indicates the school zone has ended.<br />

School Zone times vary, and it is the<br />

driver’s responsibility to be aware and drive<br />

according to the posted signs and lights.<br />

• Fines are doubled in school zones.<br />

• Stop for school buses. Colorado law<br />

dictates a driver of a vehicle, upon meeting<br />

from either direction any school bus which<br />

has stopped and has activated its red<br />

flashing lights, is required to stop the<br />

vehicle. Drivers do not need to stop for a<br />

school bus upon meeting or passing a<br />

school bus which is on a different roadway.<br />

School bus drivers are authorized to report<br />

violators to the appropriate law<br />

enforcement agency who may issue a<br />

citation on the basis of the information<br />

provided.<br />

• Remember that the sun can obscure your<br />

vision any time of the year. Use visors<br />

and sunglasses to reduce glare and make it<br />

easier to see pedestrians.<br />

• Pedestrians, once in a crosswalk, have<br />

the right of way. If you maintain a safe<br />

speed for conditions and foot traffic you<br />

should have plenty of time to slow down<br />

and stop safely.<br />

For more information on back to school safety tips or rules<br />

for drivers in school zones, please call the Police Department<br />

OUR NATURAL<br />

environment<br />

WATER QUALITY:<br />

EVERYONE<br />

PLAYS A PART<br />

The Village is a beautiful place to live,<br />

work and play. We enjoy parks, trails,<br />

open space and drainageways,<br />

including streams and ponds, and the<br />

entire community takes pride in<br />

protecting and preserving our natural<br />

environment. However, maintaining a<br />

high quality environment is no small<br />

task, especially when it comes to our<br />

surface water resources and water<br />

quality. Although the Village works<br />

together with residents and businesses<br />

to protect these valuable resources to<br />

maintain quality of life, we need your<br />

help to continue to make it better.<br />

Water quality is important for all,<br />

whether you drink, fish, swim or enjoy<br />

a walk along a drainageway, we all play<br />

a role in keeping our environment<br />

clean and free of pollutants.<br />

WHAT IS STORMWATER?<br />

Perhaps one of the greatest impacts to<br />

surface water resources is pollutants in<br />

stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff<br />

occurs when rain or snowmelt flows<br />

over impervious (non-absorbent)<br />

surfaces such as rooftops, driveways,<br />

parking lots, and streets. This runoff<br />

moves over these impervious surfaces<br />

and makes it way to storm drains, and<br />

eventually drainageways, streams and<br />

ponds. The runoff picks up trash,<br />

sediment, chemicals (fertilizers,<br />

herbicides, pesticides, oil, etc.), pet<br />

waste, and other pollutants and<br />

deposits them directly into water<br />

bodies that we use for fishing,<br />

swimming and drinking. These<br />

pollutants can also affect aquatic<br />

habitat and wildlife. Stormwater<br />

runoff is not cleaned in a water<br />

treatment plant like the water used in<br />

your home so it is important to reduce<br />

the chances of pollutants becoming<br />

accidentally or intentionally<br />

introduced into our surface water and<br />

environment.<br />

ELIMINATING<br />

ILLICIT DISCHARGE<br />

An illicit discharge occurs when<br />

something other than stormwater is<br />

allowed to enter the storm drainage<br />

system. The term “illicit discharge”<br />

generally refers to any discharge to the<br />

storm drain system that is not<br />

composed entirely of stormwater. The<br />

cause can be intentional such as when<br />

someone deliberately dumps<br />

chemicals, waste or trash into the<br />

storm drain. Illicit discharges can be<br />

accidental (from a sanitary sewer or<br />

grease trap overflow or motor vehicle<br />

accident) and unintentional, when<br />

people leave household chemicals,<br />

grass clippings or pet waste in an area<br />

where stormwater may carry the<br />

contaminant to the storm drain.<br />

There are allowable non-stormwater<br />

discharges that can be discharged into<br />

the storm drain. These include but are<br />

not limited to potable water sources<br />

including firefighting activities that do<br />

not contain hazardous materials, street<br />

sweeper wash water, landscape<br />

irrigation, dechlorinated swimming<br />

pool discharges, uncontaminated sump<br />

pumps/foundation drains, water line<br />

flushing, agricultural stormwater<br />

runoff, diverted stream flows,<br />

uncontaminated groundwater and<br />

others listed in the Villages’ municipal<br />

code. The Village has a regulatory<br />

mechanism that includes enforcement<br />

actions and trained staff to detect<br />

pollutants, but also relies on residents<br />

and businesses to report suspicious<br />

activity that may contribute to an<br />

illicit discharge.<br />

The goal of the Village’s illicit<br />

discharge detection and elimination<br />

system is to reduce the frequency and<br />

environmental impacts of illicit<br />

discharges that are accidentally or<br />

intentionally dumped into the storm<br />

drain system.<br />

HOW CAN YOU HELP?<br />

Becoming aware of the outcome of<br />

everyday activities will reduce the<br />

chances of pollutants becoming<br />

accidentally introduced into our water<br />

and the environment. As Village<br />

residents, each of us can play a role in<br />

protecting our water and the<br />

environment. The next time you see<br />

water runoff during a snow or rain<br />

event, think about the people<br />

downstream who count on us for clean<br />

water and wildlife that depend on it<br />

for their survival, just as the people<br />

upstream affect the water you drink<br />

and use as well.<br />

• Never dump anything down a<br />

storm drain.<br />

• Ensure carpet cleaners and mobile<br />

pet washing operations dispose of<br />

wastewater to an indoor drain or<br />

drain to a landscape area where the<br />

water can infiltrate.<br />

• Dechlorinate pool water before<br />

draining and try to divert the flow<br />

to a landscape area to allow the<br />

water to infiltrate into the ground.<br />

Ensure that no downstream<br />

flooding or erosion occurs.<br />

• It’s more convenient than ever to<br />

recycle paint products in Colorado.<br />

dry it out or fill it with kitty litter<br />

and once absorbed, set into the<br />

trash for pickup.<br />

• Participate in the Village’s<br />

Household Hazardous Waste<br />

curbside pickup by calling<br />

800-449-7587. Visit<br />

www.greenwoodvillage.com for a<br />

list of acceptable items for pickup.<br />

• Pick up and properly dispose of pet<br />

waste. Pet waste stations can be<br />

found along Village parks and trails.<br />

• Keep your street clean of debris and<br />

litter by keeping waste receptacle<br />

lids secured.<br />

• Properly dispose of yard waste by<br />

mulching or bagging leaves and<br />

grass clippings and do not sweep or<br />

blow yard waste into the street or<br />

gutter.<br />

• Avoid excessive use of yard<br />

chemicals, use phosphorous free<br />

fertilizers and perform a soil test<br />

before application. Read labels,<br />

apply sparingly — more is not<br />

better. Ensure that grass clippings<br />

are swept back onto the grass and<br />

not in the street.<br />

• Use phosphorous free soaps when<br />

washing your car and let the water<br />

drain to a landscape area. Consider<br />

using a commercial car wash, which<br />

conserves water and sends used water<br />

to the wastewater treatment plant.<br />

PLEASE REPORT<br />

ILLEGAL DUMPING<br />

In order to keep our environment<br />

clean and to protect our high quality<br />

of life, please report any suspected<br />

illegal dumping or illicit discharge by<br />

calling Greenwood Village Public<br />

Works at 303-708-6100 during<br />

normal business hours. After normal<br />

business hours, please call Police<br />

Dispatch at 303-773-2525.<br />

How to detect an illicit discharge:<br />

Visual observations of anyone<br />

dumping ANY substance into a storm<br />

drain inlet or into the flow line along<br />

the curb and gutter on any street.<br />

Keep your safety in mind and if<br />

possible, record the location, date,<br />

time and license plate number rather<br />

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO PROTECT<br />

WATER QUALITY IN OUR WATERWAYS<br />

than approach the potential violator at<br />

the time of the incident. Note any odd<br />

color, odor, sheen or floatable<br />

materials observed within storm<br />

drains, along roadways, open space,<br />

streams and ponds.<br />

For more information about the<br />

Village’s illicit discharge detection and<br />

elimination program or Household<br />

Hazardous and Electronic Waste<br />

Program, please call Public Works<br />

Department at 303-708-6100. GV<br />

Historically, in the Front Range, waterways including streams, ponds, and lakes have<br />

seen water quality impacts with excessive algae growth. Although some algae can be<br />

beneficial, excessive algae growth can be unsightly, decrease dissolved oxygen levels,<br />

and emit odor. This can negatively impact aquatic life, and interfere with swimming,<br />

fishing, and other recreational activities.<br />

Such upsets can be contributed to weather, stormwater runoff laden with nutrients<br />

including nitrogen, phosphorous, pet waste, algae accumulation, and in some cases,<br />

non-natural contributions from illicit activity. Although there are means to treat these<br />

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

occurring in the first place is preferable and less costly than controlling once they<br />

become a problem.<br />

The key to long-term control is limiting and reducing the input of pollutants to<br />

waterways. Pollutants include nutrients, pet waste, leaves and grass clippings, fertilizers<br />

(which contain phosphorous and nitrogen), pesticides, soaps, and detergents.<br />

• Pick up after our pets.<br />

• Properly apply fertilizer and pesticides.<br />

• Ensure that grass clippings remain on the grass and are not swept into the gutters<br />

and waterways.<br />

• Ensure carpet cleaning services properly dispose of waste water.<br />

• Participate in Household Hazardous Waste Pickup by calling 800-449-7587 for<br />

information and to schedule a pickup time.<br />

For disposal of paint care products, participate in the Colorado Paint Stewardship<br />

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

High speed, team challenge-based<br />

work outs that are low-impact…<br />

this is ROW HOUSE. This new<br />

exciting workout routine is designed<br />

to build muscle, burn calories and<br />

strengthen your core within a 45-<br />

minute class. The combination of the<br />

low-impact cardio, resistance training,<br />

stretching and rhythm-based rowing is<br />

a rewarding and energetic workout for<br />

all ages.<br />

The owners of the Row House<br />

Greenwood Village, Brandon and<br />

Dayana Gill, are excited to open this<br />

new health fitness studio. Dayana is<br />

from Brazil where she was a Physical<br />

Therapist. After coming to Colorado,<br />

she opened her own Pilates studio<br />

where she met her husband Brandon.<br />

After a break to start a family, the Gills<br />

yearned to get back to helping<br />

individuals reach their fitness goals<br />

and found Row House.<br />

Rowing is considered one of the most<br />

effective workouts and has been<br />

rejuvenated from a lonely basement<br />

workout thanks to Row House. Their<br />

45-minute workouts target 85% of<br />

your body specifically focusing 30%<br />

on core strength, 10% on upper body<br />

and 60% on legs. Classes are<br />

continually being tweaked to make<br />

them more enjoyable and effective.<br />

They are frequently creating new<br />

challenges and workout styles<br />

including team races to a meter goal<br />

ROW HOUSE GREENWOOD VILLAGE<br />

The Landmark Greenwood Village * 7600 Landmark Way • www.therowhouse.com<br />

Seven Days A Week • Starting at 5 a.m. and Ending with last class at 8 p.m.<br />

and music themed workouts. The goal<br />

for Row House Greenwood Village is<br />

to foster an environment that will<br />

push the boundaries on fitness not<br />

only for long-term enthusiasts but to<br />

encourage others to join in and<br />

achieve their fitness goals.<br />

Row House Greenwood Village is<br />

designed around the concept of<br />

synchronization and getting everyone<br />

to row at a similar speed. The layout<br />

consists of multiple lines of row<br />

machines all facing the row coach. The<br />

room is designed to change the<br />

intensity of the workout from the<br />

high-speed rowing with neon lights<br />

and high energy music to get you<br />

pumped to more subtle cool down<br />

stretches that will focus on breathing<br />

with the backwall waterfall as the<br />

sound to relax and restore the body<br />

and mind.<br />

Dayana and Brandon see great<br />

potential in the Row House<br />

Greenwood Village as they have the<br />

ability to develop and make changes to<br />

build a new fitness culture and vibe<br />

around the Row House name. This<br />

studio offers a merchandise front end<br />

with changing rooms to get ready for<br />

class.<br />

Row House Greenwood Village is<br />

conveniently located in The Landmark<br />

East Tower and is connected through<br />

the lobby allowing residents direct<br />

access to Row House Greenwood<br />

Village without ever having to step<br />

outside. Dayana and Brandon said that<br />

they chose the space before they knew<br />

what fitness franchise they were going<br />

to open. Brandon, with his experience<br />

in real estate and being a Denver<br />

native, quickly recognized the benefit<br />

of opening a gym in Greenwood<br />

Village as it is home to a large healthconscious<br />

population.<br />

Row House Greenwood Village has<br />

classes throughout the day, 7 days a<br />

week, starting at 5 a.m. and ending<br />

with the last class at 8 p.m. Row<br />

THE VILLAGE<br />

READ FOR 2019<br />

Celebrating its third year, the<br />

Greenwood Village Cultural<br />

Arts Program has once again<br />

partnered with Arapahoe<br />

Libraries to present the<br />

“Village Read.” The idea<br />

encourages adults of all<br />

ages to read one book and<br />

participate in thoughtprovoking<br />

discussions and<br />

activities derived from<br />

the chosen book. The<br />

goals of the program are<br />

to encourage leisure reading, create<br />

community conversations and bring the community<br />

together through literature.<br />

This year the group has chosen the book Rush by Colorado<br />

author Jayme Mansfield. In Rush, Mary, a single mom, tries<br />

to strike her claim in the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1893. In<br />

competition with<br />

desperate<br />

homesteaders, ruthless<br />

land seekers and a<br />

sheriff determined to<br />

see her fail, Mary<br />

thrusts her flag in the<br />

dirt to claim 160 acres<br />

of her own. But with<br />

that claim, she risks<br />

more than she ever<br />

could imagine. Mary is<br />

faced with a past<br />

riddled with loss,<br />

hardship and<br />

reminders that a<br />

woman isn’t capable of<br />

surviving on her own.<br />

Will Mary’s stubborn<br />

and independent spirit<br />

keep her mired in the<br />

past? Or will she find Jayme Mansfield<br />

forgiveness and love in the wild plains of the Midwest?<br />

GREENWOOD<br />

VILLAGE OPEN<br />

STUDIO TOUR<br />

In 2014, a group of artists located in<br />

rural Greenwood Village joined forces<br />

to begin what is now known as the<br />

Women of Steele Studio Tour. These<br />

women had been surprised to learn<br />

that between them they had four<br />

active art studios within a few hundred<br />

yards of each other in a neighborhood<br />

of quaint equine beauty.<br />

The circumstances were ideal for an<br />

event that would celebrate these artists’<br />

work and workspaces. Thus began<br />

their annual tradition of opening their<br />

art studios to the public for a day.<br />

Now in its fifth year, the studio tour<br />

has become a much-anticipated event<br />

with golf cart rides on dirt roads and<br />

guest artists.<br />

This year the City of Greenwood<br />

Village’s Cultural Arts Program has<br />

partnered with these artists to<br />

encompass more neighborhoods and<br />

more artists. The studio tour takes<br />

place on September 7 from 10 a.m. to<br />

6 p.m. There will be eight open<br />

studios, hosting 16 artists, located<br />

throughout Greenwood Village.<br />

Studios include: Pat Aaron (Painter,<br />

Printmaker, Sculptor); Deborah<br />

Carlson (Glass Artist); Connie Dines<br />

(Photographer); Joellyn Duesberry<br />

(Painter); Jennifer Freeman (Painter);<br />

Amy Mower (Jewelry Artist); and<br />
