Please attend!<br />

Joy Kinney, Our Neighbor,<br />

A SouthPark Icon, Our Friend<br />

I always said that if I had known I was going to get Joy Kinney as my next door<br />

neighbor, I would have paid at least $25,000 MORE for my sweet little SouthPark townhouse!<br />

And I truly meant what I said!<br />

Joy Kinney is that special kind of neighbor everyone dreams of having. She knew<br />

everyone and everything about Littleton. She introduced me to everyone she knew – to<br />

people, places and things that soon became very special parts of my life.<br />

And EVERYONE in SouthPark knows Joy. And JOY is what she brought into the<br />

lives of all she knew and met. Every day, we’d see her walking with her dogs – first,<br />

2011 Painting Reminder<br />

A reminder to those owners who are required to paint their townhome, the deadline<br />

for completion of painting is September 30, 2011. The following buildings are required<br />

to have their townhome painted, including refinishing of your front door.<br />

COLONY<br />

West Long Circle: 2880 2882 2884 2886<br />

2888 2890 2892<br />

Paint manufacture: KWAL Howells Paints<br />

Building paint color name: Sierra Tan<br />

Trim paint color name: Writer White<br />

Paint type name: Accu-Tone “Ambassador” Satin<br />

Paint store address: 8001 S. Broadway, Littleton, CO 80122<br />

(Behind McDonalds), 720-344-7942.<br />

Noncompliance by September 30, 2011, will result in the Association employing a<br />

contractor to repaint the exterior of your home and billing the cost of that repainting to<br />

you (pursuant to Article V<strong>II</strong>I of the Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions). In addition,<br />

a $50.00 fine will be imposed.<br />

Check the newsletter for advertised paint contractors. Ask for discounts if all townhomes<br />

in a building are painted by the same company. Check references and hopefully<br />

some from other owners in the community.<br />

The SouthPark 2 Homeowner Association, <strong>Board</strong> of Directors, Covenant Committee<br />

and the Architectural Committee does not endorse or recommend any of the advertising<br />

Shrub Trimming<br />

The trimming of deciduous shrubs is scheduled to begin in late<br />

June and is expected to take 5-7 weeks to complete. With a wet<br />

spring and early summer, the shrubbery has thrived. All deciduous<br />

shrubs will be trimmed with the exception of those that are flowering.<br />

However, if the flowering shrubs create an issue of safe passage<br />

along a sidewalk, access or egress to a townhome or pose a<br />

safety issue, they will be trimmed. Please be patient, as jumping from townhome to<br />

townhome would delay the most efficient means of completing this large project.<br />

If homeowners do not want the landscape company to trim certain shrubs around their<br />

townhome, attach a brightly colored ribbon to the shrub(s), where it can obviously be<br />

seen. However, if the marked shrubs create an issue of safe passage along a sidewalk,<br />

access or egress to a townhome or pose a safety issue, they will be trimmed.<br />

Joy Kinney, continued from front page<br />

little Radar, and then in the later years, Tipper, her true canine love.<br />

Joy and Tipper went everywhere together. And Tipper was as well<br />

known as Joy was.<br />

Joy Kinney, the consummate Gardener, with her giant sequoia<br />

rose bushes facing the McClellan Reservoir, who taught in Littleton<br />

schools for over 25 years.<br />

She was a noted Littleton artist and potter, and her works hold<br />

places of high esteem in many lucky homes. She volunteered many<br />

hours to the Littleton Art Guild, and we often saw her working<br />

at The Depot in downtown Littleton. Joy also L-O-V-E-D playing<br />

cards. Both Joy’s good friend Randy and I spent many long hours<br />

getting our pants beat by this superior card shark.<br />

Not too long ago, Joy had a bad fall that caused great injury to<br />

her leg. For a long time, she struggled with her recovery. In addition,<br />

she lost her long-time, dear friend Dale, whom she visited at<br />

the Littleton Life Care Center every day for two years, until he<br />

passed on.<br />

Shortly afterward, Joy obtained her faithful walker, which<br />

became her companion on her long walks along the Reservoir with<br />

Tipper. When Tipper, and Joy’s cats Kliban, Smokey and Princess<br />

White Cloud passed on, we all knew a piece of Joy went with them.<br />

Just this past February, Joy moved into Assisted Living in<br />

Colorado Springs, near the home of her daughter Marilyn.<br />

Joy’s birthday is July 31st. Would you please join me in a lovely<br />

surprise we can give to Joy (if you can) to send her a card of<br />

Happy Birthday Wishes?<br />

Her address is: Joy Kinney , 2490 International Circle, Room<br />

200, Colorado Springs, CO 80910. Or, if you like, you can bring<br />

your card to me and I’ll take it to her personally. Joy would also<br />

love to hear from her former SouthPark neighbors. Her direct<br />

phone number is 719-313-4191.<br />

Also, all are invited and anyone who’d like to join us in a trip to<br />

Colorado Springs to see Joy and wish her a Happy Birthday are welcome.<br />

This will be on Saturday, July 23rd, 2011 at 10:00 a.m., for a<br />

wonderful SouthPark Neighbor and Friend Birthday Lunch where<br />

Joy lives. Please give me a call at your earliest opportunity, so we<br />

can make arrangements for transportation, or for more information.<br />

Thanks to all our Dear Neighbors and Friends right here in<br />

beautiful SouthPark – Our Favorite Neighborhood Community!<br />

Help Prevent Thefts from Motor Vehicles<br />

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office wants to work with<br />

residents to prevent criminal activity. Theft from motor vehicles<br />

are crimes where thieves take valuables from parked cars, usually<br />

without stealing the vehicle. These crimes can frequently be<br />

prevented. Here are some tips that may prevent you from becoming<br />

a victim:<br />

• Always completely roll up your windows and lock your<br />

car doors when parked<br />

• Remove valuables. Valuables such as purses, wallets, GPS<br />

units, satellite radios and radar detectors should be<br />

removed from your vehicle or placed in the glove box or<br />

trunk of your parked car. Be aware of your surroundings<br />

and make sure you are not being watched when you put<br />

these items in your trunk.<br />

• Whenever possible, park your car in a closed or locked<br />

garage<br />

• If garage parking is not possible, park in your driveway or<br />

in a well lit area. Consider motion lights aimed at your<br />

driveway to deter thieves and provide extra safety as you<br />

enter and exit your car at night. Well lit areas on a street or<br />

in a lot are better than darkened areas.<br />

The Sheriff’s Office encourages citizens to report suspicious<br />

activity. This can be any person, act, event, vehicle or situation<br />

that appears questionable. Trust your instincts!<br />

REPORT IT: Remember, you are the eyes and ears of the<br />

Sheriff’s Office and your community. Report suspicious activity<br />

immediately. Anything that seems slightly out of place or “doesn’t<br />

look right” could be criminal activity. When calling, be sure to<br />

report the reason for your call and location of the activity.<br />

SEE IT: If you see suspicious activity, report it. The<br />

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office relies on early and accurate<br />

information from citizens reporting suspicious activity. You and<br />

your neighbors can be the first to spot a burglar in or around a<br />

home, or a strange car in a driveway. Remember lighting is considered<br />

to be the most cost effective deterrent to crime.<br />

HEAR IT: Listen for suspicious activity. Unusual sounds or<br />

barking dogs can be caused by prowlers or suspicious vehicles.<br />

Everyone should get in the habit of looking outside their windows,<br />

especially of the noises wake you up at night.<br />

*** IS YOUR HOME’S ELECTRICAL SAFE? ***<br />

HOMEOWNER AWARENESS = YOUR FAMILIES SAFETY!<br />

Do you know that your neighborhood was built during an era that used electrical panels and breakers that were soon thereafter<br />

recalled? F.P.E. (Federal Pacific Electric) panels and breakers used during the construction of your neighborhood have been found to be<br />

faulty and extremely dangerous. Is your home currently supplied by F.P.E. panels and breakers? If so, Delmark Electric urges you to<br />

further your knowledge on the history of this defective product by simply searching “F.P.E. recall” in your search engine. There you will find<br />

hundreds of documentations on the hazards presented by these defective products. You may also use the following link to gain further<br />

knowledge of the hazards presented by F.P.E. electrical products: www.codecheck.com/cc/pdf/electrical/FPE_Article_Nov2003.pdf<br />

Delmark Electric is offering a special rate for replacement of these panels and breakers specifically for you and your community!<br />

This summer’s special includes: Complete replacement of your electrical panel and breakers, replacement of your main meter<br />

Sprinkler System Upgrades = Being Water Smart With Smart Watering<br />

Emerald Isle Landscaping has installed new sprinkler clocks<br />

and replaced sprinkler head nozzles. These improvements are<br />

being paid from the reserve account. The new improvements will<br />

potentially save the Association thousands of dollars in watering<br />

costs. The Association is also receiving rebates from Denver<br />

Water that will dramatically offset the cost of these improvements.<br />

The new sprinkler clocks, along with the installation of<br />

new sprinkler head nozzles, will reduce the amount of water used.<br />

The new watering system will now be controlled by “smart<br />

clocks.” These “smart clocks” are electronically connected to a<br />

nearby weather station where the local weather is updated daily.<br />

The “smart clocks” analyze the information that is received and<br />

automatically adjusts how much and how long the sprinklers need<br />

to run to give the grass a sufficient amount of water so that the<br />

Association is not over-watering or under-watering the grass. The<br />

new sprinkler head nozzles that are being installed will aid in<br />

conserving water by lowering the amount of water per second<br />

that is being applied to the grass. This will lower the effects of<br />

runoff, wind drift and allow the Association to water the grass<br />

more efficiently. Though installing a more “Green” and efficient<br />

watering system, there are some changes that you might see.<br />

Because the new sprinkler head nozzles will reduce the speed in<br />

which the grass is being watered, the sprinklers may be on for<br />

longer periods of time and for more days per week than usual.<br />

Even with the sprinklers being on more, the new system is actually<br />

going to reduce the amount of water used. The other change<br />

that probably will be seen around the neighborhood is, initially,<br />

browner grass than past years. The clock technology is relatively<br />

new and configuring an existing older system to the new clock<br />

technology, data and programs will take some time to adjust. In<br />

addition, because of overwatering the grass, the grass will not be<br />

used to the new amount of water and will go through an adjustment<br />

period (training the grass root system for less water).<br />

Though there may be some areas with brown grass, we are excited<br />

to install an up-to-date system, save water, and most importantly,<br />

save money for the community. Factors in moving to the<br />

“Green” system is that Denver Water had notified its customers to<br />

get used to 8-10% annual increases and their rebate program for<br />

conversion and improvements made economic sense at this time.<br />

The <strong>Board</strong> of Directors would like to stay on top of the newest<br />

technology to save the homeowners money, especially in this<br />

difficult economy. The grass will not die during this period of<br />

transition, but patience will be required of all for this program to<br />

be successful.<br />

Eat The Right Stuff For a Long Life<br />

The foods you eat can make a big difference to your heart’s<br />

health and your overall longevity. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean<br />

you can’t eat anything tasty or fun. Keep your heart in good shape<br />

by choosing these foods the next time you’re hungry:<br />

• Salmon. Fish like salmon, shrimp, tuna, and sardines are<br />

rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which help blood<br />

flow. (Be careful of mercury levels of tuna, though,<br />

especially for pregnant or breast-feeding women and<br />

small children).<br />

• Oatmeal. Full of fiber and potassium (as well as omega-<br />

3), coarse or steel-cut oats (not instant) can reduce levels<br />

of LDL cholesterol and help keep arteries clear. Add a<br />

banana for some extra fiber.<br />

• Nuts and berries. You may feel like you’re foraging<br />

in the wilderness, but nuts (walnuts, almonds, and<br />

macadamias) along with blueberries, blackberries, and<br />

strawberries, can help keep blood pressure down and<br />

reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer.<br />

• Avocado. Add a little bit to your sandwich or salad, and<br />

you’ll help lower levels of “bad” cholesterol and increase<br />

the “good” cholesterol in your body.<br />

• Beans. Lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans, black beans – all<br />

are packed with soluble fiber, calcium, and omega-3.<br />

• Dark chocolate. Don’t go on a binge, but cocoa beans<br />

contain flavanols, which can help lower blood pressure<br />

and decrease inflammation. Dark chocolate tends to have<br />

more cocoa solids, which increase the flavanol level.<br />

FREE Rigegate“Walk” Concerts<br />

Take a walk around the park, bring your lunch picnic, and settle<br />

in to enjoy the sounds of great Metro bands. South Suburban<br />

Parks and Recreation is hosting a series of free concerts outside<br />

the Lone Tree Recreation Center, 10249 Ridgegate Circle, from<br />

11:30 to 1 p.m. July 6: Something Underground. Something<br />

Underground is a high-energy rock and roll, some liken their<br />

sound to a cross between Simon and Garfunkel and Led Zeppelin.<br />

Go Back to Basics to Ease Back Pain<br />

Your parents told you to sit up straight, but if you slump in your<br />

chair, you could be putting unnecessary and painful strain on your<br />

back. Here are some basic tips to improve your sitting posture:<br />

• Pick a chair that fits your body. The seat should fit the distance<br />

from your buttocks to your knees. And your chair<br />

should be the right height from your knees to the floor for<br />

your legs to be straight and comfortable.<br />

• Support your lower back. Use pillows with office chairs<br />

(or the seat of your car).<br />

• Don’t sit with your head forward. You’ll put added strain<br />

on your spine. Sit up straight (Yes, Mom), and try not to<br />

lean your body to one side or the other.<br />

Exercise Professional Etiquette At The Gym<br />

The golf course used to be where executives met to combine<br />

business with exercise. These days many of us share workouts at<br />

the gym or health club with colleagues and managers, and that<br />

can call for a different brand of etiquette. Keep these tips in mind:<br />

• Dress for success. Workout clothes can be sensible, but<br />

not too casual or risqué. Ripped T-shirts and skin-tight<br />

spandex can send the wrong message.<br />

• Look out in the locker room. When you’re changing or<br />

showering, maintain a reasonable level of privacy. Once<br />

you and the CEO have seen each other’s underwear, the<br />

image can be hard to erase.<br />

• Don’t show off. Maybe you can bench-press more weight<br />

than anyone in your department, or rebound with the best<br />

of them. You’ll win more respect by concentrating on your<br />

workout without bragging or shamelessly seeking attention.<br />

• Stay professional. Doing your victory dance after dunking<br />

a basketball can seem immature and arrogant. Remember<br />

that you need to work with these people after you’ve gone<br />

back to the office.<br />

“Family life is too intimate to be preserved by the spirit of justice.<br />

It can be sustained by a spirit of love which goes beyond justice.”<br />

Maintain Your Energy Level To Stay On The Fast Track<br />

People who succeed usually have lots of energy.<br />

They’re hardworking, focused, and willing to put in whatever<br />

effort is necessary to achieve their goals. But maintaining<br />

a high energy level all day every day can be<br />

difficult. Here’s how to keep going without resorting to<br />

pills or other dangerous options:<br />

• Wear bright colors. Projecting a positive, energetic<br />

attitude through your wardrobe can bring out enthusiasm<br />

and good spirits in others. A positive response from people<br />

around you will stimulate your own motivation.<br />

• Eat a power snack. A little chocolate can give you<br />

a slight endorphin buzz, along with a mild jolt of caffeine.<br />

When your energy flags in the afternoon, a modest snack of<br />

mixed nuts, dried fruits, granola, and/or some yogurt can<br />

rejuvenate you better than a calorie-filled candy bar.<br />

• Stand on tiptoe. One good stretch when you’re feeling tired is<br />

rolling up and down on your tiptoes a few times. This can get your circulatory<br />

system moving, sending oxygen and glucose through your<br />

body for a burst of energy.<br />

• Smell some citrus. Citrus scents like lemon, grapefruit, and<br />

lime can enhance your alertness. Try it.<br />

• Drink some water. Dehydration can sap your energy, so make<br />

sure you get plenty of water throughout the day. And when you feel<br />

tired, splash a little cold water on your face to wake yourself up.<br />

• Change your socks. This is an offbeat little tip, but it sounds<br />

like it might work: About halfway through your day, take a little time<br />

to put on a fresh pair of socks. Experts say that it can make you feel<br />

refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of your day, especially if you<br />

spend a lot of time on your feet.<br />
