SAFETY AND<br />
WELLNESS<br />
ALERTS IN MY REPORT<br />
At Greenwood Village, we care about you and<br />
your family’s safety and well-being, and one of our<br />
missions is to ensure the safety and welfare of the<br />
community. As we begin 20<strong>17</strong>, this month’s report<br />
has been reserved for some important safety and<br />
wellness alerts and messages I wanted to bring to<br />
your attention. I hope you find this information<br />
useful and valuable in your daily lives. If there is<br />
other safety information you would like for us to<br />
share, please call the City Manager’s Office at<br />
303-486-5745.<br />

MAKE SURE TO SLOW DOWN<br />
AND MOVE OVER . . .<br />
I want to remind everyone about the “Move Over” law and<br />
the severe consequences it could have if motorists do not<br />
obey this significant law. As we continue to see needless<br />
crashes across the state, every year several first responders are<br />
seriously injured including some fatally, because motorists<br />
simply refuse to move over. Moreover, most of the time,<br />
motorists are not aware of the law. So I hope some education<br />
about the law will help prevent future accidents and save<br />
lives.<br />
Colorado’s law is very clear requiring motorists to move over<br />
at least one lane whenever they approach an emergency<br />
vehicle with its lights flashing. If a motorist is unable to move<br />
over for example on a two lane road or when heavy traffic is<br />
present, they are required to greatly reduce their speed. This<br />
A wreck that occurred earlier this year because of a motorist’s<br />
failure to move over in Greenwood Village.<br />
law also protects road maintenance and tow truck operations.<br />
By moving over, motorists provide a buffer zone for the<br />
personnel directing their attention to the situation on the<br />
roadway.<br />
It’s critical that motorists become familiar with the “Move<br />
Over” law and react appropriately as several law enforcement<br />
agencies, including our Greenwood Village Police Officers,<br />
will continue conducting ongoing education and<br />
enforcement operations. Motorists in Greenwood Village will<br />
be stopped and receive a citation if you fail to move over.<br />
I commend our Police Department for taking the lead on<br />
this vitally important issue. Recognize <strong>GV</strong>PD has been the<br />
victim of this very issue twice this past year. Fortunately the<br />
injuries sustained will heal. We can always purchase<br />
replacement vehicles. Had the two officers involved been lost,<br />
they would have been irreplaceable in terms of their training<br />
and commitment to our collective safety.<br />
So please, move over to keep you, your family, and your<br />
police officers safe.<br />
CALL 2-1-1 FOR<br />
COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE<br />
Sometimes in life you may encounter a situation where you<br />
need resources to assist but may not know where to begin.<br />
Mile High United Way offers a free and confidential<br />
community service that connects callers with assistance on a<br />
variety of issues such as food, shelter, rent assistance,<br />
clothing, child care options, transportation assistance,<br />
substance abuse, senior issues, medical and dental care,<br />
immigration information, prescriptions, mental health,<br />
home repair, and volunteer opportunities. 2-1-1 also<br />
provides help with seasonal needs such as tax preparation<br />
assistance, school supplies and holiday needs. To inquire<br />
about services, please dial 2-1-1 or 866-760-6489 toll free,<br />
or search online, or live chat with a specialist online at<br />
unitedwaydenver.org/2-1-1.<br />
TAKE THE PLEDGE . . .<br />
STAY SAFE NEAR LIGHT RAIL<br />
Please share the following with younger adults and children<br />
you know.<br />
As RTD completes commuter and light rail lines and testing<br />
of live trains on tracks through metro Denver, citizens need<br />
to be alert and stay safe. While signals, signs, lights, whistles<br />
and horns are important safety aids, state law prohibits<br />
motorists and pedestrians from entering a train crossing<br />

when the bells are ringing and lights are flashing. Motorists<br />
and pedestrians should always follow safety signs and obey<br />
warning devices such as flashing red lights and gate arms.<br />
Here are a few tips to remember the next time you’re near a<br />
bus or train:<br />
• Stay off the tracks.<br />
• Don’t touch those wires.<br />
• Stand back from moving vehicles.<br />
• Don’t chase moving trains or buses.<br />
• Watch those doors. They’re heavy and close automatically.<br />
• Be patient at pedestrian and vehicle crossings.<br />

OBTAIN A FREE<br />
RADON TEST<br />
FOR YOUR HOME<br />
Did you know that one in 15 homes<br />
across the United States has elevated<br />
radon levels? In Colorado, radon is<br />
present at elevated levels in about 50%<br />
of homes. With more than 20,000<br />
deaths each year, radon exposure is the<br />
second leading cause of lung cancer<br />
deaths in the United States and the<br />
number one cause among nonsmokers.<br />
Tri-County Health Department offers<br />
free radon testing for residents.<br />
Tri-County Health Department will<br />
place a radon meter in your home and<br />
measure the radon levels for<br />
comparison to the EPA standard of<br />
4.0 pCi/l (picocuries per liter). The<br />
house needs to be closed up (no doors<br />
or windows left ajar) for at least 12<br />
hours prior to sampling. Residents will<br />
receive a written report that<br />
summarizes the results. This is a free<br />
service for residents but there is a<br />
charge for businesses.<br />
I encourage you to learn about the<br />
dangers of radon and what can be<br />
done to minimize health risk from<br />
exposure to elevated levels of indoor<br />
radon. Get a radon mitigation test for<br />
your home today by calling<br />
Tri-County Health Department at<br />

HIDDEN SUGARS<br />
IN BEVERAGES<br />
Ensuring citizen safety includes building a<br />
healthier community together. Many parents<br />
and caregivers are not aware of the hidden<br />
sugar in many of the beverages they give to<br />
their children. Sugary beverages are the single<br />
largest contributor of calories to our diet. By<br />
drinking just one sugary drink a day, a child<br />
has 25% increased risk of developing type 2<br />
diabetes, 55% greater risk of being overweight<br />
or obese, and 150% greater risk of developing<br />
fat deposits in their liver, contributing to<br />
diabetes and heart disease.<br />
Greenwood Village is assisting the Tri-County<br />
Health Department (TCHD) in educating<br />
parents and caregivers about the harmful<br />
effects of sugar and informing them of the<br />
high sugar content in many of the beverages<br />
they may be giving to their kids. For more<br />
information, please visit hidden-sugar.org. <strong>GV</strong><br />

ENSURING A SAFE<br />
community<br />
PEDESTRIANS: RULES OF THE<br />
ROAD TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE<br />
According to the U. S. Department of Transportation,<br />
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2014,<br />
4,884 people were killed in pedestrian/motor vehicle crashes,<br />
more than 12 people every day of the year. Though the<br />
number of pedestrian fatalities fell from 4,901 in 2001, there<br />
were 65,000 reported pedestrian injuries in 2014; nearly one<br />
injury every eight minutes.<br />
Traffic and Pedestrian<br />
Signals: Pedestrians must<br />
yield the right-of-way to<br />
drivers by obeying traffic<br />
signals, observing pedestrian<br />
signals and using crosswalks.<br />
The pedestrian signals are:<br />
WALK (Constantly<br />
Lighted): Pedestrians facing<br />
the signal may cross the<br />
roadway in the direction of<br />
the signal.<br />
DON’T WALK (Flashing): Pedestrians may not start to<br />
cross the roadway. Any pedestrian who has partly<br />
completed his cross may continue.<br />
DON’T WALK (Constantly Lighted): Pedestrians may<br />
not enter the roadway.<br />
Crossing a Roadway: Always cross the street at a designated<br />
crosswalk. Pedestrians must give the right-of-way to drivers.<br />
Within a Crosswalk: If a pedestrian is in the crosswalk, a<br />
vehicle has to yield. However, if a vehicle is 20 feet away<br />
from the crosswalk and traveling at 30 mph,<br />
the pedestrian must yield as the vehicle does<br />
not have enough time to stop safely.<br />
Intersections: Be careful at intersections,<br />
where drivers may fail to yield the right-of-way<br />
to pedestrians while turning onto another<br />
street.<br />
Joggers and Walkers: Joggers and walkers should use<br />
jogging paths when provided. On public roads, joggers<br />
should try to select wide roads with good shoulders. They<br />

BICYCLE SAFETY<br />
AVOID A COSTLY MISTAKE<br />
Before you take<br />
to the road with<br />
your bicycle, it’s<br />
imperative to<br />
know and<br />
practice all the<br />
fundamentals of<br />
riding a bicycle.<br />
Did you know<br />
bicyclists are<br />
subject to the<br />
same rules, laws<br />
and regulations<br />
as motor vehicles? Ignoring rules of the road that regulate<br />
passing, riding abreast, use of hand signals, stop signs, and<br />
other etiquette will determine your fate on the roadway. If all<br />
else fails, always adhere to the lug nut rule: he who has the<br />
most lug nuts wins. In other words, a car will always win<br />
over a bicycle. So ride carefully and cautiously to avoid a<br />
costly mistake and a crash course in bicycling.<br />
• Always ride on the RIGHT. Remember to “go with the<br />
traffic flow.” Never ride against traffic. Cars will not be<br />
expecting to find a biker when they round a corner or go<br />
over a hill.<br />
• Ride single file. When passing other bikers or pedestrians,<br />
let them know your position by shouting something like,<br />
“On your left!”<br />
• When riding two abreast, do not impede the movement<br />
of traffic. If you are<br />
on a road with<br />
lanes, you must<br />
ride within a single<br />
lane.<br />
• Always check<br />
behind you when<br />
changing lanes.<br />
• Watch out for<br />
dangerous things<br />
on the roadways or<br />
on trails. Road<br />
litter, puddles of<br />
water, loose gravel,<br />
and storm gates can<br />
cause you to lose<br />
control of your<br />
bicycle.<br />
• Stop at all stop<br />
signs and traffic<br />
lights. Be extra<br />
careful at<br />
crossroads. Walk<br />
your bicycle across<br />
busy intersections.<br />
• Always signal<br />
before making a left or right turn. To make a left turn,<br />
look behind you, hold your left arm straight out and<br />
proceed carefully. For a right turn, hold your left arm out<br />
and up in an “L” shape.<br />
• Keep control of your bike. Do not swerve or make sudden<br />
turns. Drivers may not be able to react fast enough to<br />
avoid colliding with you.<br />
• Ride at least three feet away from parked cars. Someone<br />
could open his or her door unexpectedly.<br />
• Listen for cars approaching from the side or behind you.<br />
• Do not follow cars too closely (you may be in their blind<br />
spot).<br />
• Know your road signs and obey them. A smart bicyclist<br />
follows the rules of the road.<br />
• Always be prepared to stop. Keep your hands on or close<br />
to the brakes.<br />
• Do not forget to wear your helmet! And do not wear<br />
headphones; you will not be able to hear what is going on<br />
around you.<br />

motorcycle safety, please call the Greenwood Village Police<br />

2016 CRIME<br />
STATISTICS RELEASED<br />
POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS<br />
VILLAGE REMAINS SAFE<br />
The Police Department, through their strategic operations<br />
and community programs, works to ensure the safety of the<br />
community. In January 20<strong>17</strong>, the Police Department released<br />
crime statistics for 2016.<br />
In 2016, the Police Department continued to solidify the<br />
implementation of their Strategic Intelligence Deployment<br />
Accountability Planning (SIDAP) philosophy. The SIDAP<br />
philosophy is built upon the foundational components of:<br />
timely and accurate data analysis, rapid and specific<br />
deployment of resources, effective tactics and proper follow<br />
up. The idea of putting the “right” people in the “right” place<br />
for the “right” reason summarizes the essence of what the<br />
SIDAP philosophy embodies.<br />
Each month the Police Department leadership staff has a<br />
mandatory SIDAP meeting. During the meeting, the prior<br />
month data summary is presented by the crime analyst and<br />
each police commander presents strategic deployment plans<br />
both for the past month and for the future month. An<br />
emphasis is placed on creating positive outcomes, as<br />
measured both quantitatively and qualitatively, from these<br />
strategic deployments. Realizing that crime and traffic<br />
accident numbers fluctuate due to a variety of factors, it is<br />
critical that we are systematically keeping a watchful eye over<br />
all of them and then being diligent in our proactive and<br />
focused response.<br />
With specific and measurable goals, the Police Department is<br />
able to clearly articulate how we are serving our community’s<br />
public safety needs. Utilizing the quantifiable data presented<br />
during the SIDAP meetings, the Police Department was able<br />
to deploy target traffic patrols in high accident locations,<br />
which we strongly believe helped to reduce injury accidents<br />
to a historic annual low level across the Village.<br />
The chart below represents the aggressive crime reduction<br />
goals set by department leaders for 2016. The goals are<br />
developed by analyzing three years of data and then setting a<br />
goal to reduce each crime by 5%. Although, we did not reach<br />
all of the goals set for 2016, we made significant progress in<br />
community safety by reducing the overall number of injury<br />
2016 Crime Reduction Goals And Outcomes<br />

GOVERNMENT<br />
accidents from 45 accidents in 2015,<br />
to 32 accidents in 2016. This<br />
reduction in injury accidents, which is<br />
identified by using real time data,<br />
allows department leaders to<br />
strategically deploy our resources to<br />
known accident locations.<br />
Crime And Accident Comparison Chart<br />
November 2016 To December 2016<br />
The chart below is a comparative<br />
example of how we measure and<br />
analyze crime and traffic accidents<br />
from month to month. The color<br />
scheme represents an increase in<br />
(red), no change in (yellow), a<br />
reduction in (green) and no<br />
incidents reported in (black).<br />
There is no question the adaptation<br />
of the SIDAP strategic deployment<br />
philosophy gives the Police<br />
Department an effective and efficient<br />
way to prevent crime and efficiently<br />
deploy police resources. As the Police<br />
Department integrates additional<br />
new and planned, technologies into<br />
operation, it is anticipated that our<br />
access to time critical data for SIDAP<br />
analysis will continue to improve.<br />
We feel very strongly that in turn this<br />
will allow us to make the Village even<br />
safer with reduction in crime.<br />

FROZEN POND<br />
AND LAKE SAFETY<br />
Each winter, after the ice forms on Colorado’s waters,<br />
outdoor enthusiasts enjoy ice fishing, ice skating and other<br />
fun winter sports. Before going out onto a frozen lake, pond<br />
or river, it’s important to take safety precautions to reduce the<br />
risk of falling through the ice. Knowing how to judge ice<br />
conditions will also help you make more informed decisions<br />
while enjoying winter.<br />
CAREFULLY CHECK ICE CONDITIONS<br />
• Remember, you take a risk anytime you go out onto the<br />
ice. Ice thickness is not consistent.<br />
• Don’t judge ice strictly by appearance.<br />
• When ice fishing, it is always a good idea to drill test<br />
holes as you progress out onto a lake to help judge the<br />
thickness and character of the ice.<br />
• Beware of ice around partially submerged objects, such as<br />
trees, logs, or dam structures.<br />
• Stay away from cracks, slushy areas and darker areas that<br />
signify thinner ice.<br />
• Be aware of ice that forms at the edge of the lake during<br />
the fall and melts at the edges first in spring.<br />
• Be aware of ice covered with snow. Sometimes the snow<br />
serves as insulation. Other times, it has the opposite effect<br />
by insulating the surface from freezing.<br />
• Never go out onto the ice alone. A friend could rescue<br />
you or go for help if you fall through.<br />
• When changing locations on the ice, always walk at least<br />
10 yards apart from your friend.<br />
• Always inform someone of your destination and expected<br />
time of return.<br />
• Always wear a life jacket or personal flotation device over<br />
a snowmobile suit or layered winter clothing. Life jackets<br />
can provide excellent flotation and protection against<br />
hypothermia.<br />
• Assemble a personal safety kit, no larger than the size of a<br />
man’s wallet, and carry it on your body. The kit should<br />
include a lighter, pocketknife, compass, whistle, and<br />
waterproof matches.<br />
• In addition to the above safety equipment, carry ice picks,<br />
a rope and cellular phone. These items could save your<br />
life.<br />
• If you bring your pet, always keep it on a leash and away<br />
from the shoreline.<br />
Marjorie Perry Nature Preserve pond.<br />
WHAT TO DO IF YOU<br />
FALL THROUGH THE ICE<br />
If you can’t get out of the cold water by yourself, take<br />
appropriate actions to extend your survival time while<br />
waiting to be rescued.<br />
• Stay calm and use a whistle to attract help.<br />
• Act slowly and deliberately to conserve heat and move<br />
slowly back to where you entered the water. Expect a<br />
progressive decrease in your strength and ability to move.<br />
• If you are wearing a snowmobile helmet and your face is<br />
in the water, remove the helmet as quickly as possible<br />
because it can fill with water and cause you to drown.<br />
Hold onto it to keep afloat.<br />
• Once on the ice, try to push yourself forward on your<br />
stomach or roll over on your side to keep the weight<br />
distributed over a greater surface area. Do not stand up<br />
until you have moved onto the ground or an area of solid<br />
ice. <strong>GV</strong><br />

substances may be dropped off.<br />
• All solid dosage pharmaceutical product and liquids in<br />
consumer containers, with the exception of chemotherapy<br />
drugs, may be accepted.<br />
• Liquid products, such as cough syrup, should remain<br />
sealed in their original container.<br />
• Prescription and over the counter solid dosage<br />
medications, e.g. tablets and capsules will be accepted.<br />
• Intravenous solutions, injectables, and syringes/needles<br />
will not be accepted due to potential hazard posed by<br />
blood-borne pathogens.<br />
• Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine<br />
are not a part of this initiative, but can be dropped off at<br />
the Police Department at any time for disposal.<br />

GREENWOOD VILLAGE FAMILY MEDICINE<br />
8200 East Belleview Avenue, Suite 204-C • 303-221-5700<br />
www.greenwoodvillagefamilymedicine.com • Open Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and Fridays by appointment<br />
Greenwood Village Family Medicine<br />
has been providing exceptional<br />
healthcare that is focused on the needs<br />
of patients in the City of Greenwood<br />
Village for the past 14 years. The<br />
practice is led by Dr. Terese Donch<br />
who is board certified by the American<br />
Board of Family Medicine. She<br />
believes in offering primary care that is<br />
personalized and she promotes a<br />
program of active health management<br />
that is individualized to address each<br />
person’s needs. Over her many years of<br />
practice Dr. Donch recognized the<br />
inherent limitations that existed when<br />
her focus was stretched to the limit by<br />
having a multitude of patients to see<br />
each day. She was increasingly unable<br />
to spend the kind of time needed to<br />
develop the relationship with each<br />
patient that provides the best care. She<br />
decided that a change had to be made.<br />
Just as people spend time and<br />
resources to ensure their financial<br />
future, Dr. Donch believes the same<br />
level of attention, if not more, is<br />
critical to ensure an individual’s health<br />
future. To those ends Dr. Donch has<br />
implemented a new approach to caring<br />
for her patients by offering an<br />
innovative, unique care model which<br />
started this year. Through her<br />
prevention-based active health<br />
management model, Dr. Donch<br />
provides a framework for all clients to<br />
be healthy by choice, not by chance.<br />
Dr. Donch believes that much of the<br />
illness in today’s world is determined<br />
by lifestyle which is largely ignored<br />
within the traditional medical practice.<br />
That traditional approach is based on<br />
episodic care, which involves only<br />
seeing patients when they are sick.<br />
Care at Greenwood Village Family<br />
Medicine is always provided by a<br />
physician that is focused not only on<br />
current ailments, but also on fostering<br />
a collaborative environment designed<br />
to equip patients with the tools they<br />
need to achieve optimal wellness.<br />
Current conditions are managed while<br />
developing strategies to help educate<br />
patients and keep them on track as<br />
they modify their lifestyle in an effort<br />
to prevent further illness. This is done<br />
by combining quality medicine with<br />
prevention-focused active health<br />
management. Empowering patients by<br />
giving them knowledge and emotional<br />
support to take the steps needed to<br />
improve their own health is the goal.<br />
The program includes:<br />
• An annual comprehensive health<br />
evaluation tailored to and focusing<br />
on your lifestyle, habits and<br />
personal strengths to create your<br />
personalized annual health plan<br />
with monthly follow-up visits to<br />
ensure success.<br />
• Same day/next day appointments<br />
while enjoying minimal wait times.<br />
• Access to extended (1 hour)<br />
appointments at your preferred<br />
times whenever possible.<br />
• 24-hour access to Dr. Donch via<br />
telephone, text and email.<br />

NEWEST ARTS AND HUMANITIES COUNCIL MEMBER<br />
CYNTHIA MADDEN LEITNER<br />
Museum of Outdoor Arts’ President and Executive Director<br />
Cynthia Madden Leitner co-founded<br />
the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA)<br />
with her parents, Colorado developer<br />
John W. Madden Jr. and his wife<br />
Marjorie Madden in 1982. Designed as<br />
a “museum without walls,” MOA’s<br />
original mission followed the definition<br />
by integrating the arts into commercial<br />
landscapes and architecture to create<br />
synergistic environments for everyday<br />
living. Beginning with a donated<br />
outdoor collection of 12 sculptures<br />
placed in Greenwood Plaza, the collection now has over 200<br />
monumental sculptures installed throughout the Denver<br />
Metro area. In 1995 The Colorado Governor’s Award for<br />
Excellence in the Arts was awarded to Cynthia for the<br />
realization of MOA’s unique vision.<br />
Cynthia has curated over 200 exhibitions for the Museum of<br />
Outdoor Arts and more than 20 exhibitions for other arts<br />
organizations during her 35-year tenure as President and<br />
Executive Director. She has worked with local, national, and<br />
international artists including Nick Bantock, Sanfte<br />
Strukturen, Daniel Sprick, and Claudy Jongstra. In 1999<br />
Cynthia co-curated A View from Denver with the Denver Art<br />
Museum for the White House Rose Garden. Among the<br />
Museum’s publications are Portrait of a Museum and Secret<br />
Rooms; the films “Palazzo Verdi” and “Sacred Water at<br />
Burning Man” both aired on PBS. Cynthia has also<br />
spearheaded monumental projects such as creating Design<br />
and Build, a renowned education internship for emerging<br />
artists, building Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre (FGA) from an<br />
earth sculpture into the largest outdoor live music venue in<br />
Colorado, and designing and creating Element House, an offthe-grid<br />
home near the site of Charles Ross’ Star Axis.<br />
Among civic activities, Cynthia serves on the PLACE<br />
advisory board, and the Greenwood Village Arts and<br />
Humanities Council. She has also served on the board of the<br />
International Sculpture Center, is an Honorary Trustee of The<br />
Women’s Foundation of Colorado, and a founder of the<br />
National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington,<br />
D.C. Cynthia has also been selected for the Denver Mayor’s<br />
Commission of Arts, Culture and Film, the Denver<br />
Foundation’s Arts and Culture Committee, the Colorado<br />
Business Committee for the Arts, and the Advisory<br />
Committee for the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Denver.<br />
Cynthia and the Museum<br />
of Outdoor Arts have<br />
