SUCCESSFUL HOLIDAY 

SOCK CAMPAIGN 

For the second year, 

Greenwood Village held a 

community 

sock drive 

collecting 

new socks 

for the 

homeless! In 

partnership 

with 

members 

of our 

community, 

we collected 

6,000 pairs 

of socks, this 

is 2,000 

more pairs then we achieved in 2019. I want to 

thank our residents, businesses, and community partners for 

donating socks for this worthy cause. Special thanks to the 

following people for spearheading collection efforts in their 

neighborhood and/or organization and Melissa Gallegos on 

the Village staff for organizing the effort:

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 

fields were constructed in 2001-2002. These fields are 

used by both Cherry Creek High School and the Village. 

Our Parks and Recreation Department utilizes the fields

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. 

— George

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 


GOVERNMENT 

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. 

If you are unable to attend this public meeting and would 

like information on the current design, please visit Village 

Voices at greenwoodvillagevoices.com, starting March 11 

where you can view the design and provide feedback directly 

to Village staff. For more information, please call Suzanne

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 

jmorin@greenwoodvillage.com. GV 

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. 


GOVERNMENT 

School settings do not change in Dial 

2.0. Capacity limits remain the same, 

with the exception of restaurants in 

Level Yellow, which may now have up 

to 150 people when using the social 

distancing calculator — up from 100 

people with the calculator.

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

Alea Resier and her twin sons brought 

homemade cookies to support the men 

and women of the Greenwood Village 

Police Department. 

SAVE LIVES AND PREVENT THE SPREAD 

OF THIS DEADLY VIRUS: 

• Wear a Mask — You have a much lower risk of 

getting or transmitting the virus. 

• Do not interact with any sized groups of people 

outside of your own household. 

• Stay home while you are sick and avoid close 

contact with others. 

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. 

• Wash your hands frequently. 

• Keep your distance — staying six or more feet away 

from others.

COSMIC TEA 

8775 East Orchard Road, Suite 821 • Orchard Plaza • 720-502-7732 • cosmicteaholisticshop.com 

Tuesday-Friday 11 a.m.-6 p.m., Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Closed Monday 

“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. 

This quaint holistic shop found its home in Greenwood

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

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
