The park consistsof 9.29 acres built alongthe west branch ofGoldsmith Gulch. Afterbeing annexed in 1987,

the Huntington Acres HOA donatedthe majority of the park’s land to theVillage, retaining title to the existingpool, tennis court and parking rightsto half of the pool parking lot. TheSundance Valley HOA donated theland along the western edge of thepark. The Village completed the parkin 1989. The park was originallynamed Huntington Acres Park beforebeing renamed in memory of TommyDavis, a Greenwood Village residentand Chairman of the Parks, Trails andRecreation Commission.

The park’s amenities include aplayground, volleyball court,basketball court, small informalbaseball field and a pond. The park’spond has hosted the Village’s AnnualFishing Derby for over 25 years.

MAKING A difference

KNOW THE SOUNDS OF THE LIGHTNINGDEVICES AT MAJOR VILLAGE PARKS

During the summer storm season, Village park users and visitors may be exposed to potentialdangers of a lightning storm while being outside. In efforts to provide a safer environment whileattending events at Village Greens Park, Curtis Park, Westlands Park, Silo Park, and TommyDavis Park, the Village has installed lightning prediction and warning systems to alert park usersof the potential for lightning before it strikes.

The lightning systems in designated Village parks are prediction systems not detector systems.These systems measure the shift of the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere and in theground that could create an energy flow that may result in a lightning strike once a conductivecloud to ground path is available. The lightning prediction and warning system senses andevaluates these shifts and changes in the electrostatic field that precede the occurrence of anactual lightning strike and activates an audible, as well as, visual warning alerting of thedangerous conditions.

The systems are set to monitor a 2.5 mile radius from its location. When the conditions are ripefor lightning at the parks or within the 2.5 mile radius, a continuous audible horn is activated for a period of 15 seconds alerting users of thepotential for lightning and activating yellow strobes on the roofs of the structures located within the parks. These strobes will stay activatedthroughout the period of potential lightning activity and will shut off only after an all clear signal consisting of three five second audible hornblasts. The systems are operational between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m., seven days a week, through the spring and summer months.

For more information, please call Dustin Huff, Parks Manager, at 303-708-6155.

For more information on how to serve on aVillage board or commission, please call the CityClerk’s Office at 303-486-5752 or email SusanOrtiz, City Clerk, at [email protected].

NEW RESIDENTIALTRASH ANDRECYCLINGPROVIDER Greenwood Village has provided trashand recycling services to single-familyresidences since 1996. RepublicServices has been provider of thisservice for many years, and theircontract with the Village expires at theend of 2021. Village staff requestedbids from trash companies to continuethis service beginning in 2022, andafter an extensive review of theproposals, the Village has selectedWaste Connections of Colorado tocontinue this service beginning January1, 2022. Residents will continue toenjoy the same levels of service that arecurrently provided by Republic,including containers provided by thecompany, every-other-week recycling,and the ability to place an unlimitednumber of additional bags out besidethe containers for collection.

TRAIL ETIQUETTE — MIND YOUR MANNERS Just like dining in a finerestaurant, there is properetiquette when using areatrails. Though multi-usetrail signs may vary in theway they look, the right-of-way is universal:bicyclists yield toeveryone; pedestriansyield to horses(equestrians); equestriansyield to no-one andalways have the right-of-way.

Pedestrians — of course it’s more fun to walk side-by-side to talk with your walkingbuddies than to walk single file, but please be aware that taking up the whole trailmakes it difficult for bicyclists and equestrians to pass safely. Stay to the right and closeto your walking partner.

Equestrians — It is safest to ride single file, but as with pedestrians, many prefer toride side-by-side to talk with friends. Be aware that two horses riding take up a lot oftrail space, making it difficult for others to pass safely. Trails in the Village are multi-use, so you will encounter bicyclists and pedestrians; it is the rider’s responsibility toensure that their horse in under control. Also keep in mind that many people are notfamiliar with horses and do not understand that objects such as bikes and runnerscoming up behind them can scare your horse. Be courteous and notify pedestrianswhen passing.

Bicyclists — bicyclists yield to both pedestrians and horses. Be courteous to otherusers, and keep right when possible. Verbally alert others when you are approaching topass; call out “on your left” or “on your right” as equestrians and pedestrians may nothear you approaching. GV

HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED A HORSE JUMP?Here’s why: horses are easily scared. In nature, horses are prey. Horses’ eyes are situatedon the sides of their heads which causes objects to appear to jump from one side of theirvision to the other. This can trigger the horse’s instinct to flee.

GOVERNOR’S NEW ORDEREFFECTIVE MAY 2

PUBLIC HEALTH ORDERS TRI-COUNTY MASK ORDER — MASKS REQUIRED INDOORS ONLY On April 5, the Tri-County Health Department (TCHD)amended its face covering order in place for Adams,Arapahoe and Douglas counties to remove the requirementthat face coverings be worn in outdoor public spaces. TheTCHD order will remain in place until June 30, 2021,unless rescinded, amended, or extended. Increasing spreadof potentially more severe and contagious variant strainsand changes in individual behaviors are major sources ofuncertainty at this point in the pandemic.

The face covering order requires that individuals older than10 years old must wear a face covering over their nose andmouth when entering or within any public indoor space. Inaddition, parents, custodians, and caregivers are stronglyencouraged to have their children between two and 10 yearsold wear a face covering, with supervision.

This order is currently relevant to all parts of Adams,Arapahoe, and Douglas counties that did not opt out of theorder. Face coverings should be worn regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status.

In addition to wearing masks, the spread of the virus can bereduced or prevented through social distancing, testing,isolation if a person is sick, quarantine if a person has beenexposed, case investigation, contact tracing, and vaccination.For more information visit www.tchd.org/covid.

TCHD ADOPTS SIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE STATE COVID DIAL The COVID-19 Dial issued by Governor Polis and theColorado Department of Public Health and Environment(CDPHE) expired, and counties across Colorado issued theirown guidance for their citizens. On April 8, 2021, the Tri-County Health Department’s Board of Health (BOH)authorized and directed the Executive Director of Tri-CountyHealth Department (TCHD) to issue a Public Health Orderfor a simplified version of the Dial with the goal to continueto control and/or slow the spread of COVID-19.

The TCHD Public Health Order (PHO) is in effect fromApril 16 through May 15. Highlights of the Public HealthOrder include:• Phase 1: Moving Toward Full Re-Opening, April 16 -

May 15 (30 days): Counties will move to a new level onthe Dial, one Level less restrictive than the level indicatedby their metrics on April 15. For example, a county atLevel Yellow metrics on the current state Dial on April 15will move to Level Blue on April 16 and remain thereuntil May 15.

• Phase 2: Observation Period, May 16 - August 16 (90days): Counties will move to Level Clear, which has norestrictions, subject to TCHD observation of hospitaladmission rates in the County. In Level Clear, businesseswill be able to operate at 100 percent capacity with noMitigation Requirements, although face-coveringrequirements may still apply.

To enhance personal safety and help reduce levels ofCOVID-19 transmission across our communities, ourresidents should continue to social distance; wear masks inpublic indoor areas; avoid large gatherings or crowds,

Phase 1 took effect at 12:01 a.m. on April 16, 2021, andexpires at 11:59 p.m. on May 15, 2021. The Phase 2observational period will continue from May 16 throughAugust 15 in order to evaluate the need for any subsequentrestrictions.

“Letup” is defined by Merriam-Webster’s dictionary asfollows: to diminish or slow down; slacken; cease; stop orto become less severe. Given the fact that the world news isincredibly stimulating right now, don’t you think it wouldbe nice to “letup” from theCOVID chaos of 2020 andmove forward to bigger andbetter things? This was thevision of Stephen and TeriCuller who opened TheLetUP Eatery in GreenwoodVillage in April 2021. Theirdesire is for their down-to-earth establishment toprovide a state of ease fortheir patrons and lessen their burdens while enabling themto take comfort during their dining experience.

Stephen and Teri moved to Colorado from Las Cruces,New Mexico in 2009. Stephen has spent over a decade insome of the best kitchens within the Denver area: Colt &Gray, The Populist, The Wooden Table, and Lucky PieDenver among others. Stephen has been an ExecutiveChef, Sous Chef, and responsible for hiring staff andordering and maintaining inventory supplies as well. Now,Teri has put aside any other career aspirations she may havehad to help her husband with this incredible adventure.

When the couple chooses to dine out, Stephen is usuallycraving a breakfast burrito and Teri’s indulgence is a juicycheeseburger. Quite often after partaking in such a meal,they expressed their feeling of lethargy and desire to sleepthe afternoon away. Part of their inspiration for The LetUPcame from their active lifestyle and their desire to enjoytheir favorite foods without feeling sluggish and apatheticafterwards.

Thus, they set out on a journey to make their favoritefoods in a healthier way using high-quality, locally sourcedingredients with the best cooking practices available. TheLetUP purchases all their natural ingredients from manysmall businesses around Colorado. Some of the wonderfulcompanies they support include Wisdom’s Natural Poultry,Raquelita’s Tortillas, Colorado Berkshire Pork, LasaterGrasslands Beef, Isabelle Farms, Kilt Farms, and Fresh Guys.

If you have not already guessed, their delectable breakfastmenu includes a wide selection of breakfast burritos as wellas a Breakfast Sammy and Overnight Steel Cut Oats. Theappetizing food selections on their current lunch anddinner menu range from beginners, which includes fries,rings, deviled eggs, and fried pickles, to burgers, wraps and

OUR NATURALenvironmentWATCH OUT FOR BABY WILDLIFE As spring progresses, the chance of encountering newbornanimals such as baby birds, rabbits and deer in backyards orneighborhoods is very common. According to ColoradoParks and Wildlife, it’s normal for animals to leave theiryoung alone while they go search for food. But encounteringnewborn wildlife can be an awe-inspiring event and cantrigger emotions causing someone to want to “rescue” whatthey think is an animal in distress.

If you encounter one of these wildlife babies who appear tobe unharmed but alone, just observe from a distance andkeep domestic animals and people away. Chances are quitelikely the mother will be back shortly. In many cases,“rescuing baby wildlife by removing them from the wild isunnecessary and reduces their chances of survival.

DEERNewborn animals, like deer,are often found without anyadult animals nearby, leadingpeople to believe that thenewborn has been abandoned.That, however, is typically notthe case. If you find a fawn:• Mothers normally leave

their babies to feed. Theyoften return in the lateafternoon or early dusk.

• If the baby looks cold, hungry, diseased, or confused, or if dogs, other animals, or people threaten its safety, call 9-1-1.

• Otherwise, leave the baby alone and leave the area. The mother will not return if people or pets are present.

SQUIRRELSA baby squirrel has the best chance of survival when it is

cared for by its mother.Sometimes healthy youngsquirrels found on the groundare not orphans — they simplyneed help being reunited withtheir mothers. Often, mothersquirrels will “rescue” theirfallen or displaced healthybabies by carrying them by the scruff back to the nest.

RABBITSBaby rabbits leave the nestwhen they are three weeks oldand are about the size of achipmunk. If you find achipmunk-sized but fully-furred rabbit with eyes open,ears erect, and the ability tohop, they are meant to be ontheir own. As small and helpless as they may look, they arenot an orphan and do not need your help.

RACCOONS Raccoon mothers mustleave their babiesunattended for periods oftime while they travelaround to find food. Inmom raccoon’s absence,the youngsters sometimesget in trouble (e.g. fallout of their nest tree) when they explore outside their nest.Another reason the raccoon kits may be alone is their familymay have been displaced from their nest, and the mom mayhave had to go off exploring for a new den site. And evenwhen she does find a new den, she can only carry one babyat a time.

DISTEMPER IN RACCOONS REPORTEDRaccoons can acquire canine distemper, a viral disease morelikely to occur when raccoon populations are large orconcentrated. Wildlife biologists note that it seems to run incycles of 5-7 years. Not all raccoons get the disease and manydo survive these outbreaks. The disease does not affecthumans.

The disease is spread when animals have direct contact withbody fluids or droppings from an infected animal. Distemperis always present in the environment, so the best preventionfor dogs is to make sure they are vaccinated. Contact your vetto make sure your dog’s shots are current.

Symptoms of distemper may include discharge from the noseand eyes, a rough coat of hair, emaciated appearance, andunusual behavior such as disorientation or wanderingaimlessly. The animals’ symptoms become progressivelyworse, and the disease is usually fatal.

Keep children and pets away from sick raccoons. As thedisease progresses, the animal may appear calm, but can

G E N E R A L I N T E R E S T

become aggressive if approached tooclosely.

To Discourage Raccoons:• Remove attractants from your yard.• Feed pets indoors. If you feed

outdoors, bring in feeding bowls rightafter pets have eaten.

• Make sure garbage cans have securelids. Placing a solution of equal partsof ammonia and water in your trashwill deter raccoons.

• If you have a compost pile with fruitand vegetable scraps, make surecompost is securely covered in binsthat raccoons cannot access.

• Chimneys should have chimney capson to prevent raccoons from accessingthe interior of your home through thefireplace.

WILDLIFE AND RABIES If you are assisting young wildlife, it isIMPERATIVE that you protect yourselfand others from being bitten orscratched. Rabies, a deadly virus, iscommon in Colorado and possibleexposures to the virus (mammal bites andscratches) MUST be taken very seriouslyand handled properly. If you are bitten orscratched by a wild mammalIMMEDIATELY wash the woundthoroughly for several minutes with soapand running water. Then call a doctor forfurther advice.

If you, or your dog or cat comes incontact and is bitten or scratched by araccoon, skunk, bat, fox or coyote, pleasecontact Tri-County Health Departmentat 303-220-9200 and the GreenwoodVillage Code Enforcement/AnimalControl.
