FUNDING FOR ARAPAHOE ROADAND YOSEMITE STREETINTERSECTION OBTAINED Federal funding was granted by the Denver Regional Councilof Governments (DRCOG) for improvements to YosemiteStreet and Arapahoe Road. Improvements to this intersectionare an important component of the recommended improvedPartial Cloverleaf improvements that I discussed on Page 2for the I-25 and Arapahoe interchange. The improvementswill include additional turn lane capacity on Yosemite Streetthat will allow for greater green signal time for ArapahoeRoad. Due to the proximity of Yosemite Street to I-25,improved traffic operations at Yosemite Street will alsobenefit operations at the I-25 ramp intersections.

While these improvements to Yosemite Street can beconsidered the first phase of the improved Partial Cloverleafinterchange improvements, this project will provide stand-alone benefits. The proposed improvements are estimated tocost $5 million, with $3 million funded by the federalgovernment, and $2 million from local agencies.

BARK FOR ART Who let the dogs out? What a great turnout for the first Barkfor Art event at Westlands Park in September. This excitingdog festival, hosted by the Greenwood Village Arts andHumanities Council and Kuni Lexus, was a fun event for theentire family and many of our four-legged friends whoseemed to appreciate all the attention. The proceeds fromthis event will benefit all the arts programs offered by theVillage and hosted at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center.You can read more about the event and see the photos onpage 20 of this Newsletter.

CITY COUNCIL PASSES RESOLUTION OPPOSING AMENDMENT 64

The Greenwood Village Police Department works to protectresidents and businesses from crime, but to effectively sustain acrime-free environment requires an active, engaged, and awarecommunity. Remember — the most important single act you can

do is to be aware of your surroundings at all times and call thePolice to report crimes or suspicious activities! By going withyour instincts, your actions could help deter a crime in progress orsave the life of a neighbor.

G O V E R N M E N T


WHAT WOULD YOU DO? It may seem like it can only happen in movies or narrated in your favorite non-fiction book, but what if you find yourself or your family in alife-threatening situation and you have a leading role. What would you do? Would you know how to react? Sometimes what may seem as aneasy decision will be one of the most difficult to make and any wrong move could cost you.

The Greenwood Village Police Department wants citizens to be prepared with critical information to know if you ever find yourself in a tryingsituation that puts you in the wrong place at the wrong time. Knowing proper procedures to follow will be vital to surviving any dangeroussituation or confrontation.

DATE RAPE Date Rape is when someone forcibly has sex with someoneelse. The rapist might use physical and verbal threats,emotional blackmail, or alcohol and drugs. Rapists are notalways strangers and anonymous attackers. Rapists could beyour friend, a boyfriend or ex-boyfriend, a co-worker,someone you meet at a social gathering, or someone youlove and trust. Even if you know your attacker, it is stillrape.

Date rape can happen to women of all ages but youngwomen between 15 and 24 are at highest risk. Rape iscommitted by men of all ages but the largest group ofoffenders is between the ages of 17 and 30 years of age. Men can be victims, too.

PREVENTION• Avoid secluded places. • Don’t spend time alone with someone who makes you feel

uneasy or uncomfortable. • Never leave a social event with someone you have just met

or don’t know well. • Stay sober and aware. If you’re with someone you don’t

know very well, be aware of what’s going on around youand try to stay in control.

• Don’t accept drinks from other people. If someone offersto get you a drink, go with the person to order yourdrink. Open containers yourself and keep your drink withyou at all times, even when you go to the bathroom. Ifyou realize you left your drink unattended, pour it out.

• If you feel drunk and haven’t consumed any alcohol — or,if you feel like the effects of drinking alcohol are strongerthan usual — get help right away.

DATE RAPE DRUGS Rohyponol and GHB are called the date rape drugs becausewhen they are slipped into someone’s drink, a sexual assaultcan take place without the victim being able to rememberwhat happened.

Rohyponol (“roofies,” “roopies,” “circles,” “the forget pills”)works like a tranquilizer. It causes muscle weakness, fatigue,slurred speech, loss of motor coordination and judgment, andamnesia that lasts up to 24 hours. They look like an aspirin— small, white and round — and are colorless and flavorless.When dissolved in liquids, they can take effect in as little as20 minutes.

GHB (also known as “liquid X,” “salt water,” or “scoop”) alsocauses quick sedation. Its side effects include drowsiness,

continued on page 9

ENSURING A SAFE community

continued from page 8nausea, vomiting,headaches, dizziness, comaand death. The drug’s mostcommon form is a clearliquid, although it can alsobe a white, grainy powder.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVEBEEN RAPED

• Get medical attention as soon as possible. • Call a friend or family member who can be

with you and give you support. • Report the rape to the Police by calling 9-1-1. • Preserve all physical evidence of the assault.

Do not shower, wash, or change your clothes. • If you think you have been assaulted while

under the influence of Rohyponol or GHB,seek help immediately. Try not to urinatebefore providing urine samples; collect anyglasses from which you drank.

• Write down as much as you can rememberabout the assault.

• Don’t isolate yourself. Rape is a crime andshould be reported.

• Get counseling and call your nearest rape crisiscenter.

For more information, please call the GreenwoodVillage Police Department at 303-773-2525. GGVV

CHECK OUT THE STATS

• 44% of victims are under age 18• 80% are under age 30 • 1 in 6 women will be a victim of sexual assault• 54% of sexual assaults are not reported to

Police • 2/3 of assaults are committed by someone

known to the victim • 38% of rapists are a friend or acquaintance

GET READY FORwinterGREENWOOD VILLAGE ISREADY FOR THE SNOW SEASON The Village Public Works Department is ready for the snowseason. The Greenwood Village Snow and Ice Control Planwill be implemented to enhance the safety for citizens andminimize disruptions to the traveling public.

SNOW SHIFT HOURSVillage personnel who perform road and park maintenanceduring the summer months also conduct snow and iceremoval operations in the winter. A weather service providesup-to-the-minute information regarding weather conditions.Snow shift hours begin when a snowstorm begins. There arethree shifts with 12 to 13 personnel on each shift. The shifthours are 5 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., all days of the week, to include holidays. In order toensure that all equipment is available, two mechanics are on-call for each shift to handle any equipment problems.

EQUIPMENTThe Village owns and maintains a variety of vehicles toensure effective snow and ice control operations. Equipment

includes 12 plow trucks, one anti-icing truck, one slide-intanker, one grader, and one loader with plow for snowremoval operations on roadways. In addition, there are threeATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles), six small pickup trucks withplows and many hand-held snowblowers and shovels used toclear the trails, sidewalks and parking lots.

ICY CONDITIONSTo help prevent unsafe traveling conditions caused byfreezing, Village crews may apply anti-icing material to firstpriority roadways. After ice has formed on roadways, Ice-Slicer is used. Ice-Slicer is a natural, homogenous productwhich has superior melting power, is less corrosive, effectiveat lower temperatures, and less harmful to concrete, wildlife,and vegetation than the traditional salt and sand mix. Ice-Slicer leaves minimal residue that needs to be swept up afterstorms, therefore reducing the particulate in the air which hasa major positive effect on improving the air quality.

FIRST PRIORITY ROADWAYSAll roadways in the Village are classified into either first orsecond priority. The first priority routes include the highvolume roadways that connect major sections of thecommunity, all school bus routes and residential roadwayswhich have been designated as main thoroughfares. Heavysnow accumulations may require repeated passes over priorityone roadways before priority two roadways are plowed.Operations are repeated until the storm stops and all roadwaysurfaces are cleared to ensure accessibility and safety.

SECOND PRIORITY ROADWAYSSnow and ice control operations begin in secondary areas(residential neighborhoods) after first priority roadways havebeen cleared. Snow is plowed and piled to an area that doesnot block traffic flow. Snow cannot be piled in the center ofthe roadway because thaw/freeze conditions will cause ice onthe roadway. Residential roadways are not plowed from curbto curb to avoid covering sidewalks and blocking driveways.Removal of snow piles will only occur when safety oraccessibility has been jeopardized. If possible, removevehicles from the roadways during storms for better clearingof snow.

USE CAUTION WHEN DRIVING NEAR SNOWPLOWSWhen driving near a snowplow, slow down and use caution.Give plow drivers plenty of room so they can do their jobefficiently and safely.All GV residents and businesses are required to remove snow

from sidewalks within 24 hours after accumulation.

The law in Greenwood Village requires all residents and businessesto remove snow and ice from their sidewalks within 24-hours afteraccumulation. This requirement also includes removal of snow andice from sidewalks in the front and side of a residence (corner

lots). This requirement does not extend to walkways leading fromthe sidewalk to the residence nor to sidewalks or trails abutting therear property of a residence. Clearing snow around mailboxes isalso the responsibility of the occupant.

RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALKS AND DRIVEWAYS

CONCRETE/ASPHALT TRAILS,SIDEWALKS AND PARKING LOTSThe Village plows snow from concrete and asphalt trails, andsome sidewalks and parking lots. First priority trails are thoseleading to and from schools. The parking lot at VillageGreens Park is the responsibility of the Village along withsnow removal from sidewalks and parking lots at City Hall,Curtis Arts & Humanities Center and the MaintenanceFacility. These facilities are also first priority for snowplowing and are cleared simultaneously with the first prioritytrails. The parking lots in other Village owned parks are thencleared. During the average snowstorm, it takes about eighthours to clear trails, sidewalks and parking lots. Crews often

start as early as 4 a.m. Trail crews periodically check trails forproblem areas if the temperature remains below freezing forextended periods of time. Thaw/freeze conditions can causenew ice on trails, sidewalks and parking lots; always usecaution when walking on these during periods of freezingweather.

QUESTIONS OR TO REPORT SNOW AND ICE ISSUES For more information regarding snow and ice control in theVillage, please call Laird Thornton, Public Works Manager, at303-708-6155 or after-hours, call 303-708-6100. GGVV

POWER OUTAGESIN GREENWOODVILLAGE HOW RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES CAN PREPARE As a homeowner, we all haveexperienced that moment when youwake up to find your electricity out,while waiting patiently as crews workto restore power. Or as a businessowner, when your office goes dark inthe middle of an important meeting,or during the lunch hour causingfrustration with the threat of losingbusiness, wages, and food. Power outages affect everyone and thatis why the Greenwood Village CityCouncil met with members of XcelEnergy in September to discuss poweroutages in the Village and learn theremedies Xcel Energy has in place toreduce power outages in the future.

SOURCE OF POWER Xcel Energy uses a variety of fuelsources to deliver electricity to homesand businesses. Some of the major fuelsources include coal, natural gas,hydro, wind power, and solar. Power iscarried to your home or businessthrough an electric distributionsystem. Electricity is generated at apower plant and distributed by high-voltage transmission lines throughvarious distribution systems until itreaches your home or business.

CAUSES OF POWER OUTAGES There are many causes of interruptionsto electrical power. Weather-relatedpower outages like lightning strikes,extreme heat, ice, high winds andtornadoes can cause widespreadoutages. Non-weather related power

outages can be caused by humans,trees, equipment failure, damage byanimals, and cable failures.

XCEL ENERGY OUTAGES REGULATED BY CPUC QUALITY OF SERVICE PLAN Xcel Energy is regulated by theColorado Public Utilities Commission(CPUC). As part of a Quality of ServicePlan (QSP) with Xcel to maintain acertain level of electric reliability, theQSP establishes performance measurescalled Reliability Warning Thresholds(RWT) for each of the company’s nineoperating regions in Colorado.

If Xcel Energy’s reliability performancedoes not meet the RWT in a regionfor two consecutive years, thecompany will be required to pay billcredits to customers in the affectedregion. Customers who experienceoutages that last more than 24 hourswill receive a bill credit of $50. Thosewho experience more than six outagesin a year that last more than fiveminutes each will receive the same billcredit amount. Outages caused bymajor events (e.g. snowstorm) do notapply to these credits.

XCEL ENERGYINVESTMENT INUPDATING FACILITIES INGREENWOOD VILLAGEIn 2012, Xcel Energy has replacednearly 21,500 feet of cable in thecommercial and residential areas of theVillage. As required by the CPUCQuality of Service Plan, Xcel continuesto identify segments of cable that needto be replaced. Since 2011, XcelEnergy has replaced more than fourmiles of feeder cable and eight miles ofresidential cable.

WHO SHOULDRESIDENTS ANDBUSINESSES CALLTO REPORT AN OUTAGETo report an electric outage,citizens are asked to call 1-800-895-1999. Please contact XcelEnergy as soon as youexperience an outage, even ifyour neighbor has made contactso that Xcel can obtain a moreaccurate idea on the severityand extent of the outage. Xcelrecommends before you call tocheck your breakers and fuses.Occasionally, a fuse in thehome causes the outage.

ORDINANCE UPDATE MODIFICATIONS TO PARK REGULATIONS ADDRESSINGOPEN SPACES AND TRAILS The City Council amended Chapter 11, Article 5 ofthe Village Municipal Code regarding parkregulations. The amendment included modifyingthe definition of parks, natural open space areas,and trails to address all parks, open spaces and trailsowned, leased, or operated by the Village. The priorcode omitted the Village’s open spaces and trailsfrom the park regulations section of the code.

The prior code stipulated the hours of operation ofthe Village’s parks and did not address its openspace areas or trails. The new ordinance nowregulates the hours of operation for all parks, openspace areas and trails. Parks and open space areasshall be open from dawn until dusk. The High LineCanal Trail shall be open from dawn to dusk. Allother trails are open for travel at all hours toaccommodate people that use the trails forcommuting purposes as well as for people thatmight use the trails for recreational purposes.

In addition, the new ordinance amended theprohibition of motorized vehicles and firearms. Theprior code stipulated that motorized vehicles are notallowed in any park, natural open area or trailexcept on roadways intended for vehicular trafficand open for public use. The modification to thissection allows for the use of wheelchairs and otherpower-driven mobility devices (OPDMD) byindividuals with mobility disabilities in park, openareas and on trails.

CAN WE FIND YOU? MAKE SURE YOUR ADDRESS ISVISIBLE FROM THE STREET

If there is a police, fire, or medical emergency atyour home, can first responders find you fast?Address markers that are hidden by shrubs ortrees, or ones that are non-reflecting or unlightedare hard to spot, even by trained emergencypersonnel. Your house number painted on the curbmay seem like a good idea, until that number iscovered with snow or blocked by a car.

Help us help you! Make sure your address is easilyvisible. If you have a long driveway, or a shareddrive, make sure there are markers at the street, onthe house, and at forks in the drive. Large numbers,3-4 inches high that reflect light are best. It is alsohelpful if the numbers are visible from bothdirections on your street and visible at night as wellas during the day. You may be wondering withtoday’s technology why computers can’t just directresponders right to the house? Technology ismaking the job easier but it’s neither foolproof norperfect. A well-marked residence or business is thebest way to ensure that when you call 9-1-1, wecan find you!

With the invention of waterproof clay vessels, soupbecame a common mainstay meal throughout the world. Hotrocks were used to boil the water — just think of it! At thattime only a few varieties existed, but now soup making hasfortunately evolved into a wide variety of soup types andflavors to please any craving. Soup has become a staple mealand is featured at Zoup!

“In good times and bad,” soup carries powerful andintangible qualities that provide comfort and promote agenuine sense of well-being for many people,” said EricErsher, Founder and Managing Partner of Zoup! restaurants.By selling spices to restaurants for a number of years, herealized that he would use his own passion for spices to createand market soup himself.

own love of soup would definitely catch on in thecommunity,” said Wes. He understood the active lifestyle ofthe Village community and the appreciation of residents andbusinesses for a quick and healthful meal. He likewise knewthat the creative use of the spices, wide variety of recipes, andseasonality of the soups would appeal as well. Along withKory, their son and General Manager of the restaurant andMariko, their daughter and Assistant Manager of therestaurant, their family-run business welcomes all ages to therestaurant.

AUTOMATEDEXTERNALDEFIBRILLATORSSAVE LIVES DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE THEM? Automated External Defibrillators(AEDs) are user-friendly devices thatuntrained bystanders can use to savethe life of someone experiencingcardiac arrest. AEDs are now locatedin many public buildings and venuesand available to treat people whoexperience sudden cardiac arrest(SCA). SCA means the heartunexpectedly and abruptly quitsbeating. It is the number one killer ofAmericans.

HOW DOES AN AED WORK? When a person loses their pulse(resulting in rapid unconsciousness),the heart most often goes intouncoordinated electrical activity calledventricular fibrillation. The heartquivers uselessly and cannot pumpblood. The AED delivers an electriccurrent to the heart muscle, stoppingthe quivering motion and allowing theheart to resume effective beating.Defibrillation is an electrical currentapplied to the chest and should beadministered within three to fiveminutes after collapse when possible.After 10 minutes withoutdefibrillation, very few resuscitationattempts are successful.

USING AN AUTOMATEDEXTERNALDEFIBRILLATORIf you see a person suddenly collapseand pass out, or if you find a personalready unconscious, confirm that the

person can’t respond. Shout at andshake the person to make sure he orshe isn’t sleeping.

Call 9-1-1.

Before using an AED, check forpuddles of water near the person whois unconscious. Move him or her to adry area.

Turn on the AED’s power. The devicewill give you step-by-step instructions.Pay close attention to the directionsand follow them exactly. You’ll hearvoice prompts and/or see prompts ona screen. You would use an AED onsomeone who you would do CPR on(unresponsive, not breathing, and hasno pulse). The machine decideswhether or not to defibrillate.

To use an AED, you have to exposethe chest of the victim. If the person

has a lot of chest hair, you may have totrim it. (AEDs usually come with a kitthat includes scissors and/or a razor.) Ifthe person is wearing a medicationpatch that’s in the way, remove it andclean the medicine from the skinbefore applying the sticky pads.

Remove metal necklaces andunderwire bras. The metal mayconduct electricity and cause burns.You can cut the center of the bra andpull it away from the skin.

Check the person for implantedmedical devices, such as a pacemakeror implantable cardioverterdefibrillator. (The outline of thesedevices is visible under the skin on thechest or abdomen, and the person maybe wearing a medical alert bracelet.)Also check for body piercings. Move

HARVEST TIME AT THE SILO PARKDEMONSTRATION GARDEN The Village partnered with the CSU Extension — ArapahoeCounty Master GardenerSM program on this year’sDemonstration Garden at Silo Park. The Master Gardenersplanted the garden in the spring and maintained it throughthe summer months. This year’s garden contains a widevariety of vegetables, herbs, flowers and pumpkins that wouldcommonly be used in different salads and other commonrecipes, ranging from tomatoes to lettuce, peas to broccoli,and eggplants to basil.

The CSU Extension – Arapahoe County Master GardnerSM

As fall approaches, we are nearing the time of yearthat most vegetables are harvested. The Master Gardenerswill be donating all vegetables harvested out of the garden toThe Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).

If you haven’t had a chance this year to visit the Silo ParkDemonstration Gardens, we encourage you to do so.

continued from page 18the defibrillator pads at least one inch away from implanteddevices or piercings so the electric current can flow freelybetween the pads.

Check that the wires from the electrodes are connected to theAED. Make sure no one is touching the person, and thenpress the AED’s “analyze” button. Stay clear while themachine checks the person’s heart rhythm.

If a shock is needed, the AED will let you know when todeliver it. Stand clear of the person and make sure others areclear before you push the AED’s “shock” button.

Start or resume CPR until emergency medical help arrives,until the AED tells you other directions, or until the personbegins to move. Stay with the person until medical helparrives, and report all of the information about what hashappened, including the time(s) the shocks were given. GGVV
