Creating art from wood Retired farmer took up woodworking hobby in 1984 By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The hum of the scroll saw filled the shop as Bob Webb focused on creating another of his wooden works of art. On this day, he worked on a wooden
cross. His skilled hands guided the saw blade as he followed the intricate pattern cutting away small sections of the wood, transforming the solid body of the cross into a lace-like pattern. He spends six to eight hours a day creating his art, some of which is sold at Re-Nu/Blue Chair Store at 3473 S.

County open space dollars moved two parks project from the waiting list to the to-do list. The Arapahoe County Open Space Grant Program approved the Englewood requests for funding for a project to replace aging park signs and for a project to replace the playground equipment in Rotolo Park. “There is no money in this year’s budget for either of these projects, so they wouldn’t happen without the grants,” said Dorothy Hargrove, director of library, parks and recreation. “Our parks are a community asset and the grants make it possible to make these improvements to enhance our parks.” The Arapahoe County Open Space Fund was approved by voters in 2004 and again in 2011. The vote added a quarterpenny per dollar to the county sales taxes to generate money for the fund. By law, 50 percent of the funds collected are “shareback” funds that are returned to the communities in the county while 26.6 percent of the money collected is used for open space land acquisition and 12 percent is designated for grants.
