VILLAGE GREENS PARK
One of Greenwood Village’s greatest amenities is our park
and trail system. Last month, I shared information about
Westlands Park. This month, I want to highlight Village
Greens Park, 9501 East Union Ave., and encourage you to
visit:
• In 1983, Village Greens Master Plan was completed
combining property from Greenwood Village, Cherry
Creek School District, and land leased from the Army
Corps of Engineers.
• Four baseball fields, four multi-use fields and two softball

summer plans, Alex, a high school senior (and fifthgeneration
Colorado native), looked for ways to get involved.
He researched opportunities and was moved by Colorado
businesses ingenuity and initiative.
To recognize these businesses, Alex created a Website —
penthepandemiccolorado.com that collected and compiled
inspiring stories and photographs of businesses that helped
combat the impacts of COVID-19. These stories include
businesses providing assistance to medical professionals and
patients; managing the food supply chain; turning gin into
hand-sanitizer, and repurposing snorkel mask valves into
intermediate ventilators, etc. These stories demonstrate how
Colorado businesses transformed to help protect the people
of our State.

COVID-19 — VACCINE
DISTRIBUTION RAMPING UP
The good news is the number of infections and
hospitalizations continues to decrease. The State is currently
allocating our vaccine to seniors 70+ and healthcare workers.
The Governor says the state currently receives approximately
80,000 vaccines per week. This allocation is broken down by
regions with Tri-County Health Department (TCHD)
receiving approximately 18,000 doses per week. These doses
are spread across the registered vaccine providers in Adams,
Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. I know there have been
many frustrations with the current rollout. We are all hopeful
the number of vaccines will increase and all of us will be able
to obtain a vaccine in the next few
months. If you are interested in
viewing data on the vaccine
provided to Arapahoe County, you
may visit the TCHD Vaccination
Dashboard at tchd.org. We have
also included information on the
vaccine and COVID State hotline
on pages 12-13 and 15 of this
Newsletter. As information is
released, you can find the latest at
tchd.org or covid19.colorado.gov.
Even though vaccinations are underway, the State Health
Department and TCHD asks everyone to continue practicing
social distancing and wear your masks.
SUMMARY OF COVID SUPPORT
FOR OUR BUSINESSES
In conjunction with Arapahoe County, the City Council and
I are pleased we were able to help our local businesses with
CARES Act Grants. This funding helped small businesses
with business losses and adapting to public health orders such
as installing outdoor dining infrastructure. With our grant
money, the Village was able to award 561 individual grants to
256 businesses in the amount of $6,146,786.
We have been told the CARES money helped save some
businesses. We are pleased we were able to help. Our
businesses are critically important and we are thankful they
reside in our Village. Their continuing struggles are a daily
concern so we ask everyone to continue to support our
business community.
I wish you a happy and healthy February.

SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL IN
RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS
ICE ISN’T NICE!
It is winter and residents may experience ice issues in front of
their respective properties. The ice build-up occurs when
melted snow flows into gutters and onto sidewalks in shaded
areas that have a north-facing exposure.
Due to the freeze and thaw cycles experienced during winter
months, some areas may experience more severe icing
than others.
SAFETY FIRST
Ice can be a safety hazard for children and adults walking in
neighborhoods and can cause unwanted slip and fall
accidents, leading to some surprisingly serious injuries. As a
resident, you can even become a victim to falling on the ice
in your own driveway or on your sidewalk in front of your
property.
AVOID FALLING ON THE ICE
• Keep your
steps and
walkways free
of ice using
rock salt or
sand.
• Walk slowly
and cautiously
with your feet
pointing
outward. Take
short, flat
steps.
• Avoid wearing
high-heeled
shoes or boots
outside. Wear
flat shoes with
slip resistant
soles or rain/snow boots with some degree of traction.
• Remove your boots once you get inside. Snow and ice often
stick to the soles of the shoes and will melt almost
immediately as your shoes begin to warm up, resulting in a
slippery surface and the risk of a fall.
WHAT RESIDENTS CAN DO
• Keep curb-lines in residential areas free of excessive piles
of snow allowing for the efficient drainage of the melting
snow.
• Be aware of shady spots in front of your property caused
by large trees, shrubbery, parked cars, two story homes,
etc., which limit the amount of sun and contribute to
icing issues. Remove snow piles, compacted snow and
parked cars on north facing properties immediately after
snow fall. If possible, do not park on the street during
snowstorms.
• When removing snow from your sidewalk and/or
driveway, place the snow on your lawn and refrain from
shoveling or blowing the snow onto the curb or in the
gutter which can block water flow thus increasing the
potential of ice dam formations created during freeze thaw
cycles.
• Clear the snow the length of your property in the
curb/gutter line to keep it free flowing. Push the snow out
to the area where the concrete gutter meets the asphalt,
this extra effort greatly assists in preventing ice dam
formations
• Shovel the sidewalks on all sides of your property, the full
width of the sidewalk down to the pavement. After the
sidewalk is cleared, sprinkle sand to prevent falls.
WHAT GREENWOOD VILLAGE DOES
A “one in and one out” plowing operation in residential
neighborhoods is implemented. Plow trucks plow from the
center of the roadway out toward the edge of the roadway in
both directions. By doing this, snow is equally distributed
on each side of the roadway leaving a clear path of travel for
both incoming and outgoing traffic. This snow removal

SNOW REMOVAL ASSISTANCE FOR SENIORS
Seniors, 60+ or the disabled can call Volunteers of America,
Colorado Branch, to request assistance as part of their Snow
Buddies program. Call 720-264-3379 or email
info@voacolorado.org.
method allows for the surface to dry at a quicker rate and
for the melting snow to flow toward the curb/gutter on both
sides of the street. Plowing curb to curb in residential areas
is not performed to avoid covering sidewalks and blocking
driveways. Snow cannot be piled in the center of the
roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice on the
roadway.
IT’S THE LAW!
The law in Greenwood Village requires all residents to
remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 48-hours.
This requirement also includes removal of snow and ice
from sidewalks in the front and side of a residence (corner
lots). This requirement does not extend to walkways
leading from the sidewalk to the residence nor to sidewalks
or trails abutting the rear property of a residence. Clearing
snow around mailboxes is also the responsibility of the
occupant.
NEED SOME HELP?
Are you a resident of Greenwood Village or know of a senior
or a person with a disability who may have a hard time
shoveling snow for any reason? Ask your neighbors to lend a
hand to ensure your entire neighborhood is safe and
accessible. Local Boy Scout troops and youth in the
neighborhood are great resources to assist with residential
snow removal. Don’t forget to arrange for someone to shovel
your snow while you are on vacation or away from your
home for a long period of time during winter storms.

PUBLIC INPUT MEETING
CHENANGO PARK IMPROVEMENTS
You are invited to a public input meeting to review the
proposed improvements to Chenango Park. The meeting will
be held on Wednesday, March 17 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at
Chenango Park near 9069 E. Chenango Avenue, Greenwood
Village.
Chenango Park is located between Chenango Avenue and
Campus Drive, west of Yosemite Street, and provides an
important connection between the Cherry Creek High
School and the neighborhoods and commercial area to the
south. The proposed project aims to improve trail
accessibility and user functionality as well as the overall
aesthetics of the park.

DAYTON WELL
IMPROVEMENTS
A virtual public meeting will be held on February 24,
2021, at 6 p.m. to provide information regarding the
improvements to the City’s Dayton Well. The meeting
will be available to attend online via Microsoft Teams
or by conference call-in (Phone: 720-617-1327
Conference ID: 953 560 359#). Starting February 17,
please see the City’s Village Voices website
greenwoodvillagevoices.com for the Microsoft Teams
meeting link and other project information.
The Dayton Well is located on the west side of South
Dayton Street between East Dorado Avenue and
Powers Drive. The well provides irrigation water to
Silo Park and landscaping along Dayton Street. The
well itself was rehabilitated by the Village in 2003.
However, the adjacent tanks, pumps, and enclosures
have not been updated since their construction in
1986. The current pumps and underground enclosure
are in poor condition and pose safety risks due to the
confined underground space. The buried water storage
tanks also require maintenance to ensure long-term
storage capability.
A special use permit (SUP) for the project was approved by
City Council in 2005 to construct an aboveground, 12’ x 18’
well pump house to replace the current underground
enclosure, shed, and pumping infrastructure. This project
will adhere to the SUP plan requirements for building
dimensions, finishes, and additional landscape screening.
For more information or questions, please call Josh Morin,
Parks Project Manager, at 303-708-6113 or email

DID YOU KNOW?
The Dayton Well originally served the Orchard Hills Water District, beginning in 1986. The well and well site was transferred to Greenwood
Village in 2003 and currently provides irrigation water for the Village. The well extends to a depth of nearly 1500 feet into the Dawson,
Denver, and Arapahoe Aquifers. Water is pumped from the aquifers to two, 25,000 gallon underground steel storage tanks and then
distributed to Silo Park and other landscaping using the City’s irrigation pump and pipe infrastructure.

COLORADO UNVEILS DIAL 2.0,
MOVES ARAPAHOE COUNTY
(GREENWOOD VILLAGE)
TO LEVEL YELLOW
On Friday, February 5, 2021, the State moved Arapahoe
County and all its jurisdictions to Level Yellow on the
COVID dial dashboard. The dial is a tool that allows
Colorado to balance the ongoing need to contain the
COVID-19 virus with the need for localized guidance during
the pandemic. This decision will further reopen the County’s
economy by allowing many area businesses to expand their
capacities. All County businesses will be able to operate at
Level Yellow restrictions until the State has vaccinated 70%
of the 70-and-older population, which is expected to be
completed by the end of February. Once the County has
cleared that threshold, and provided that the County’s
COVID rates remain steady or drop, Five-Star Recovery
Partners will be able to shift to Level Blue restrictions.
Given the level of vaccinations occurring and decreasing
COVID-19 rates, the range of incidence metrics in Dial 2.0
better reflect a balance between disease suppression and
economic activity. Additionally, instead of looking at the
numbers over a 14-day period, Dial 2.0 will consider metrics
within a 7-day period — making the dial more responsive
and flexible.
The new metrics for Dial 2.0 are as follows:
• Counties in Level Green must now have no more than 15
COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in one week OR a
comparable number cases in counties with under 20,000
people.
• Counties in Level Blue must now have between 15 and
100 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in one week.
• Counties in Level Yellow must now have between 100
and 300 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in one
week. The rate of positive tests must be no more than
7.5%.
• Counties in Level Orange must now have between 300
and 500 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in one
week. The rate of positive tests must be no more than
10%.
• Counties in Level Red will now have more than 501
COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people in one week. At this
level, hospital system capacity is constrained, and state
assistance is requested for patient transport or staff
augmentation.
• In counties at Level Purple, statewide hospital capacity
risks being breached and crisis standards of care are
approaching.

School settings do not change in Dial

BOBCAT SIGHTINGS
IN GREENWOOD
VILLAGE
The Police Department has received
reports of recent sightings of a bobcat
in Greenwood Village. According to
the Colorado Division of Wildlife,
bobcats do not pose a serious threat to
people. However, they can harm small
pets and livestock.
Bobcats are about twice the size of a
typical house cat and are similar in size
to a lynx. Both types of wild felines are
found in Colorado. Sightings in
Colorado are rare as the mostly
solitary animals tend to shy away from
others. Their nocturnal nature also
keeps them well hidden.
The following tips are provided to
protect your yard and pets from
bobcats:
• Trim back excess vegetation that
might otherwise provide cover
• Do not feed birds or other wildlife,
which might attract bobcats
• Do not feed the bobcats
• Do not leave pet food or water
outdoors
• Vaccinate your pets
• Keep pets indoors or in secure,
protective cages or pens
• Haze as you would a coyote
IF A BOBCAT APPROACHES
YOU BE AS BIG, MEAN,
AND LOUD AS POSSIBLE
• Wave your arms and throw objects
at the bobcat
• Shout in a deep, loud and
authoritative voice
• DO NOT RUN or turn your back
on the bobcat
• Face the bobcat and back away
slowly

“Meditation” is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary as
follows: to engage in mental exercise (such as concentration on
one’s breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of
reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness. Given the
events that took place in the year 2020, don’t you think we
could all use a deeper understanding of ourselves? If you could
use a mental renewal in the year 2021, you might want to
head over to Cosmic Tea Holistic Shop in Greenwood Village.
Cosmic Tea is a metaphysical service and supply store where
one may go to examine the fundamental nature of reality
including relationships between mind and matter. In the act
of meditation, one can either “ground” or electrically connect
themselves to the sky and universe or to the earth and the
ground. Owner and psychic, Elizabeth Marie Filkin, tends to
“ground” herself with the sky and universe rather than the
earth while she is meditating. The slang term “spilling the
tea” means gossip or personal information belonging to
someone else. Merging these two pieces of information,
“cosmic” and “tea,” is how she derived the name for the new
business she established in Greenwood Village in June 2020.

Village as Elizabeth felt that the south metro Denver area
needed more diversity and availability of holistic services in
the area. She states, “I wanted a place where everyone feels
like they belong; skin color doesn’t matter. I want my
customers to feel a sense of empowerment, love, and
understanding.” She hosts an incredibly talented staff that
specializes in specific areas of healing.
Elizabeth, the House Seer, specializes in foreseeing the future
through supernatural insight. Beverly, a Native American
woman, is available for meditation sessions. Celeste, the
Womb Healer, offers help to women with pregnancy and
miscarriage. She offers a Yoni steam to help cleanse and
strengthen a women’s reproductive system. Charmaine, the
Body Talk Healer, helps you discover the emotional “cords”
that are not suited for you anymore.
Courtney, the Energy and Body Talk Healer, practices
intuitive healing and takes clients through guided
visualizations. Taylor, the House Psychic, is passionate about
helping others heal, grow and learn through spirit. Maricela,
the Angel Light Worker, is certified in Reiki, angel oracle
cards and angelic healing. Morgan, the Love Reader, is the
“backbone” of the business who helps the shop and the staff
to run smoothly.
In addition to the metaphysical services they provide to their
clientele, they sell holistic, homemade products as well. They
sell a Guatemalan cacao called the “heart” chocolate, a variety
of teas to help with stillness and resting easy and a woman
from India provides a wonderful salt bath. Cosmic Tea also
provides holistic sprays, crystals, tinctures, candles and sage.
They have a selection of body oils such as the love healing
and clearing, uncrossing, Venus, lover’s, eye opener, and
dragon’s blood.
For more information about Cosmic Tea, please visit
cosmicteaholisticshop.com or contact them by telephone at
720-502-7732. To schedule an appointment, you may
contact them via telephone. If you mention this article while
setting up your first session, you will get a Holistic Flag Bag
upon your arrival. They are open for business Tuesday
through Friday 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Saturday and
Sunday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. As they find it important
to honor their shop, it is closed on Monday for a day of
healing.
You will find this unique establishment at 8775 East Orchard
Road, Suite #821, nestled within The Orchard Plaza
shopping center, near the intersection of East Orchard Road
and South Yosemite Street. Take time for yourself with a
mental “get-away” experience and a healthy break from your
routine. Cosmic Tea Holistic Shop anticipates your arrival
where mental support and energy awaits you! GV
