A few Englewood residents became part of the teams of volunteers from Kaiser Permanente and Xcel Energy working on a trio of projects as part of the 9/11 Day of Service program. There were volunteers helping clean up the kennels at Freedom Service Dogs plus other volunteers working with Brothers Redevelopment painting a house on South Bannock Street on Sept. 11. A third group, spearheaded by Xcel Energy, did cleanup and other work at the House of Hope Family Resource Center on Sept. 12. Scott Nelson, a Kaiser Permanente employee, was one of the Brothers Redevelopment volunteers painting the home on South Bannock Street. “This is a way of giving back while helping the couple who live here,” he said as he painted the trim on the house. “Part of my job is to help people, and this is helping people in a different way. Volunteering like this makes me feel connected with the community.” He said spending the day painting a house is pleasant and, in a way, it is fun.

Victims’ rights pioneer retires after 40 years Feldman helped start programs in Littleton, Arapahoe County By Jennifer Smith jsmith@colorado communitymedia.com Nancy Feldman spent nearly 40 years helping people through the most terrible times in their lives. “One of the nice things about starting in 1975, before there was victim assistance, is having the opportunity to see it develop into a field,” she said on the afternoon of Sept. 10, 10 days into her re-
tirement from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice. Feldman, who has lived in Littleton since 1977, helped pave the way in the south-metro area for ensuring victims of crime were heard. She began her career in 1975, working in the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office as one of the first counselors hired in what was then the new juvenile diversion program. That experience led to a position with the Littleton Police Department as a youth counselor. Being a sworn officer was a requirement of the job, and she became one of just four women Feldman continues on Page 5
