PRESIDENT’S PEN

Dear Neighbors,

Volume

Issue 5

My President’s Pen last month was exceptionally long, so this month I will try to be brief. April was the one-year anniversary of Rebecca Zazueta’s move from business manager to general manager amidst many unusual events in the life of Windsor Gardens. If you read “From the General Manager” in April's Windsor Life, you got a glimpse of how complicated and involved her position is. In one month, Rebecca and the WG team navigated changes in the property tax payments, an annual meeting and budget ratification vote, changes in the pandemic requirements, a vaccine clinic, snowstorms and sub-zero weather, sewer line backups, changing banks, negotiating insurance policies and a 40th-year employee anniversary celebration.

I’m sure this is just the tip of the iceberg of the issues she and her team handled in March, let alone in her one year as general manager! In this year she also guided her replacement as the business manager and the new position of community life manager. And she sympathetically helped the staff through the death of a long-time employee and continued to be an excellent example of a dedicated leader.

The board of directors is delighted to celebrate this anniversary and looks forward to many more years of benefiting from Rebecca’s skills in leadership. If you have a chance, thank her for her time, sacrifices and caring attention to all the issues of this community.

Margaret Harding

Margaret Harding, resident of Building 38 for several years, passed away on December 30, 2020, at the North Shore Facility in Loveland, Colorado. Margaret was born in Bluefield, West Virginia in 1934. She attended Dobyns-Bennett high school in Kingsport, Tennessee, the University of North Carolina and received a master’s degree from Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania, in 1970. She was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi honor society in 1971 and was also accepted and entered the Penn State doctoral program that same year.

Margaret married Samuel Harding in 1956. They had two children and the family moved to Boulder, Colorado in the early 1970s where Sam was employed with the USGS as a research geophysicist for many years. Margaret and Sam eventually moved to Arvada, Colorado.

Margaret loved Colorado and enjoyed camping, hiking and jeeping. She loved to ski and skied into her 70s. She ran in the 10K Boulder Boulder in 2003 at age 68 with a time of 1 hour 52 minutes. Margaret loved to travel and traveled to many places in the U.S. and other countries over the years. She was famous for her great holiday celebration get-togethers with family and friends. She was happiest with a good book in hand and listening to classical music.

Laundry Machines

Can we talk laundry? Something everyone has to do every week? I am guessing every building has two laundry machines and two dryers. I am guessing they are relatively older, maybe ten years? I am guessing that the powers that be have done a perfunctory survey of companies offering to be our vendor.

But have we polled our community to actually understand what we need?

We have machines that break down pretty regularly. We have repair people who take days to show up. We have backlogs of people who need to do laundry but cannot because of broken machines and water turn-offs. We have machines that are not user-friendly for older folks who might not be able to bend down. We have commercial machines

Joseph Wagner, an 18-year resident of Windsor Gardens, passed away peacefully on March 14, 2021, just a few days after his 88th birthday.

He was born on 3/3/33 in Budapest, Hungary. As a teenager, he escaped communist Hungary into Poland, where he was accepted as a hero. He was passed through several countries to France where he and other hero-refugee youths were shipped to Nova Scotia, Canada. In the 1950s, he settled in Montreal in a Hungarian community with a particular family assigned to help him. He immediately began trying to speak only in English; he spoke Hungarian to his family, but only to clear up a point about culture or the English language, both new to him. In English, he conversed with fellow Canadians, watched TV, attended Saturday movie matinees, and read books and newspapers. And he married a daughter of his adopted family.

Because of his skills and aptitude, he was admitted to college and earned a degree in electrical engineering with a specialty in

luminescence. He pursued a career designing specialized lighting systems for hospital operating rooms, drafting and art studios, and eventually nuclear power plants throughout Canada and the United States.

He and his wife retired to California where he set up a consulting company to work his profession across the United States for several years. His wife passed away in 2002.

Joe then moved to Denver and to Windsor Gardens in 2003, finally actually retiring. All along, he continued to support his mother in Budapest.

He was passionate about bridge and enjoyed the company of fellow Hungarian expatriates in Denver.

Joe survived the passing of his daughter, later his wife, and his mother in Budapest. At Windsor Gardens, he continued to live alone surrounded by neighbors who loved him, admired his intelligence, his compassion and keen sense of humor. Joe was a man for all seasons.

that cannot handle the laundry one might have. We have a two-hour timeslot once a week that might not be enough for an older population. Asking the community for suggestions that might result in a less stressful experience, what would it hurt?

Response to “Laundry Machines”

From Michael Kruse, Operations Manager, CSC Service Works, Windsor Gardens laundry machine service

Age of laundry machines: New machines were installed at Windsor Gardens in 2015.

Laundry machine vendor: When Windsor Gardens was first built, Automatic Laundry Company was there servicing the community. Automatic Laundry was sold in 2008 to Mac-Gray and then MacGray sold to CSC Service Works in 2013. While the company name has changed, the hard work and dedication to our Windsor Gardens customers has not. Some of our staff who were Automatic Laundry employees still service Windsor Gardens, myself included. I’ve been involved with Windsor Gardens one way or another for over 26 years. We have had to earn your business all this time and the reason why we are still together is because we have never taken your business for granted. Our mindset has always been “If we do not take care of our customers, someone else will.”

Service call response time: Because of our long relationship with WG, we understand the importance of the laundry schedule that all of the residents are on and the need of servicing all of our 249 machines at Windsor Gardens in a very timely manner. That is why we respond, on average, to all service calls within 17 hours.

Senior-friendly machines: The machines that were installed at Windsor Gardens are what’s called “front load, front control” machines, meaning that all of the controls are at the front of the machine as opposed to the controls being located towards the top and the back. These machines are what are recommended for communities such as yours. It is even required by law to have at least one set such as these so residents in wheelchairs are able to do laundry.

Residents’ Behavior

We feel compelled to reply to Michele’s column [President’s Pen, April Windsor Life] and others previously addressing residents’ behaviors here at Windsor. First, to Michele and others who have addressed these situations previously, we are upset, concerned and unhappy about residents’ behaviors/actions directed at any of the staff. What has

happened to civility and the avenues to address concerns, specifically in our age groups? Learn to handle things appropriately, or, perhaps, residents behaving in this manner need an anger management class! This may also be applied to buildings. Defacing posters, tearing them down, etc., is stressful for all. “Man up” and address them properly and stop stressing out your neighbors. The pandemic has made it even worse; however, it should not be an excuse.

Windsor Gardens’ staff DO NOT WORK FOR US! There are processes/procedures to handle concerns. Educate yourself and then utilize them.

Please do not make those of us who enjoy living at Windsor have our living experience dampened by yours.

Being kind is so much easier and rewarding!

John and Kitty Hasche

Bad Behavior by Residents

The fact that the HOA fees we all pay [go in part towards employee] wages, does not give any of us the right to shout obscenities at the workers, chase them with a broom or put snow down their backs. This kind of behavior is totally unacceptable and reprehensible. It seems they have forgotten the last snowstorm was record setting, the second most precipitation in a month’s time since the state of Colorado has kept records. In spite of this, the workers cleared the street and sidewalks as soon as it was possible.

These residents must have forgotten when they were responsible for what these workers do. Did you have this good of a service when you owned your home and were responsible for everything?

Please, take a step back, a deep breath, and try to remember that [WG employees] are doing their job to the best of their ability, and they have a boss they report to.

None of our employees deserve to be treated in this manner.

Dana and Crew to the Rescue

The March snowstorm bent the branches of the trees facing South Dayton Street. After the storm, I noticed that one of the branches was rubbing against the screen of my bedroom window. Before I could place a work order, Dana's crew was onsite trimming the branches and rescuing my screen. Thank you, Dana and crew.

Proposed Revised Common Elements Decorations Policy

The below proposed revisions to the Common Elements Decorations Policy will be voted on by the board of directors at their meeting on May 26, 2021 (see schedule on page 4). If you have questions or comments about any association policy, please email the WG Board of Directors at board@wgamail.com or mail a letter to 595 S. Clinton Street, Denver, CO 80247. Letters may also be dropped off at the association office.

New language is shown in ALL CAPS. Deleted language in striketype. COMMON ELEMENTS DECORATIONS POLICY

In the third paragraph under section 1. COMMON ELEMENTS DECORATION POLICY:

A new hallway decorating project will begin in STARTED IN 2018. It will take several years to complete the hallway decorating project due to the size of the Association. The project will be completed in phases, which will include several buildings each year until all of the buildings have been completed. The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) will work with a professional designer to identify the common element components that will be included in the hallway decorating project and to determine acceptable finishes. If there is more than one re-decorating scheme available, residents will be asked to participate in the selection process for their building. This process will be managed by Association staff.

Under section1., in the first paragraph under the subsection "LOBBY FURNITURE AND DECORATIVE PIECES":

When a building is scheduled to have the hallway decorating project completed, the ARC WILL RECEIVE A REPORT FROM STAFF OR visit the building to inspect lobby furniture and decorative pieces.

Under section 2. RESTRICTIONS in the subsection "UNIT DOORS", first and second paragraphs :

All unit doors will be painted the color of the approved decorating scheme. Door

bells and door knockers are allowed on unit doors or door frame. DOOR KICK PLATES ARE ALSO PERMITTED. Decorative items, religious symbols or cultural items are allowed on unit doors as long as they are easily removable, seasonally appropriate and do not cause damage to the paint. Owners of units with door decorations that clash significantly with existing hallway décor or that are not properly maintained will be required to remove such decorations. Owners who have a well maintained solid wood door OR SOLID CORE DOOR WITH AN OUTER WOOD VENEER may request an exception to the unit door paint requirement. DOORS WITH INTRICATE EMBELLISHMENTS OR TRIM PIECES MAY NOT QUALIFY FOR AN EXCEPTION REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION OF THE DOOR. A written letter requesting the exception must be submitted to the ARC in advance of the decorating project beginning in their building (or upon notification that their building is scheduled for the decorating project). The ARC will visit the building to inspect the door and determine if the door is eligible for an exception. A written notice of the ARC’s determination will be sent to the Owner.

From the General Manager

Administrative Staff Updates

We have a few changes in our administrative staff this month. First, a new receptionist joined our team on April 26. Rebecca “Becca” Hart is a highly motivated and energetic person who has considerable experience working with residents, vendors, medical personnel, delivery drivers and visitors. She enjoys anticipating the needs of others as a front desk professional. She is coming from Brookdale Park Place and has 7 years previous work experience at the Denver Rescue Mission.

Becca is filling an open position that was created when Katie Monasmith moved from the front desk to her new role in the community response department. We waited to fill this position during the pandemic, but now that the office is open again, we are busy and require two fulltime receptionists. In an attempt to avoid confusion now that we have two administrative employees named Rebecca, I will continue to go by Rebecca or Rebecca Z and Rebecca Hart, our new receptionist, will go by Becca. Please join us in providing Becca with a warm welcome!

Second, our office project coordinator Melissa Masek resigned from her position in early April. This open position came at a very busy time

with the ending of a fiscal year, beginning of a new one and a transition in banking relationships. Nonetheless, our accounting manager Debra Ford did an amazing job juggling all the accounting duties under the circumstances and other team members jumped in to support her.

Patricia Frawley is currently helping with resales and Katie Monasmith is assisting with deposits and AP. Cross training and teamwork at its best! We are happy to announce that we have filled this position and a new employee will be joining our team mid-May. Unlike Melissa’s prior position, the new employee will not have oversight of technology issues and will be focused on accounting duties. As a result, the job title for the position will be accountant instead of office project coordinator. We look forward to introducing her to the community next month.

And finally, Tina Patnode has recently left employment at WG after nearly 5 years, which has created another open position at the front desk. We are in the process of interviewing for this position.

Please join me in thanking both Melissa Masek and Tina Patnode for their contributions to the Windsor Gardens team and wishing them the very best in their new endeavors.

Raccoons, Squirrels and Mice

In the past few weeks, we have had two raccoons, seven squirrels and several mice die from unusual circumstances. All the creatures were reported as acting strange, in a “drunk” like manner. They are not aggressive and appear to be lethargic when they are found and before they die. The incidents have been reported to DDPHE and the Denver Division of Animal Protection. At this time, it is unknown if the

incidents are related or if there is any cause to be concerned. We do know that the symptoms are not consistent with rabies. Other causes may be unidentified poisoning, viruses or diseases like distemper. In an abundance of caution, DDPHE has asked the association to report any future incidents and to advise residents to keep pets on a leash and under hand control during walks.

Property Tax Follow-Up

In April, a meeting was held with the department of finance to discuss the association’s mass property tax payment process. We were able to confirm that the city does not have a preference on how property taxes are paid. In fact, the city is prepared at any time to transition to collecting property tax payments directly from owners should the association decide to pursue a Declaration amendment to stop collecting and paying property taxes on behalf of owners.

We were also able to discuss the difficulties with refunds for overpayments on property taxes. Under the new property tax payment system, payments received are now automatically applied to the parcel as long as there is a balance due. Once the balance due on a parcel reaches zero, any additional payments received will be automatically refunded to the person/entity making the most recent payment. The City has now agreed to refund a payment if a resident or Windsor Gardens requests a refund for an overpayment (e.g. 1st installment payment made by both Windsor Gardens and a mortgage company), even if the balance due on the parcel is not yet zero. The refund will be issued to the most recent payee, which might be the mortgage company and not the association. In this instance, the owner will have

to request the refund from their mortgage company. If it is received by the association, we will issue the refund to the owner once it is received and processed. The request for a refund can be made by emailing propertytaxinfo@denvergov.org or calling 720-913-9500. Please be sure to include Patricia Frawley on all refund requests made to the city via email. Patricia’s email address is pfrawley@wgamail.com.

Over the next several months we will evaluate the city’s new payment and refund process and then determine if a Declaration amendment should be pursued. This ultimately means we will miss our window of opportunity to make this change effective in 2022. If we decide to proceed with the Declaration amendment at a later date, the transition will not go into effect until 2023 or later. As a reminder, owners will be given an opportunity to vote on any proposed amendment which will require 51% approval from owners.

This year is a property valuation year and all owners will receive a notice of valuation from the Denver Assessor’s office the first week of May. An FAQ regarding the property valuation process will be included in the June Windsor Life. Please be sure to keep your notice handy to review alongside the FAQ information next month.

WG COVID-19 Notices

Eased Precautions with Blue COVID-19 Dial Status

INDOOR PERSONAL GATHERINGS AND VISITS WITH NEIGHBORS IN UNITS (NOT ON ASSOCIATION COMMON AREAS)

In accordance with the DDPHE Order dated April 16, 2021, individuals should follow the CDC’s guidance for indoor personal gatherings.

If you have not been fully vaccinated or are at risk of severe illness from COVID-19 you are advised to remain home as much as possible.

If you HAVE BEEN fully vaccinated:

ƒ You can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart.

ƒ You can gather indoors with unvaccinated people of any age from one other household (for example, visiting with relatives who all live together) without masks or staying 6 feet apart, unless any of those people or anyone they live with has an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

OTHER EASED PRECAUTIONS

Hallways: Residents may walk in the hallways for exercise if they wear a mask and maintain a safe distance from others. Residents are still encouraged to not linger in the hallways.

Elevator and Laundry Room Use: Residents are encouraged to limit elevator and laundry room use to one person, or members of the same household, at one time, unless it is possible to stay 6 feet apart from one another and both parties are comfortable with the spacing. If you need to enter the laundry room while someone is doing their laundry, please be kind and ask if it is okay for you to enter before doing so and be sure to wear your mask. We are all getting used to being around each other again. Please be kind and allow space when it is requested.

Moving Procedures and Notifications: On May 1, 2021, the administrative office will discontinue the moving and cleaning procedures that have been in place for the past year. There will no longer be a fee to move in or out; we will not have high touch surfaces cleaned after the move is complete; and there will not be a Pilera notification for moves within your building.

As of May 1, 2021, moving procedures have reverted to the preCOVID policy. A copy of the Moving Policy is available under the resource page on the association’s website. Updates to the policy will be discussed at the Policy Committee meeting on May 12, 2021. (See page 3 for meeting details.)

2nd Dose Vaccine Clinic at WG: Tuesday, May 11, in WG Auditorium

This clinic is for 2nd dose recipients ONLY, in conjunction with the Tuesday, April 13, COVID-19 vaccine clinic at Windsor Gardens. If you received your 1st dose at the WG clinic administered by Denver Health on Tuesday, April 13, please return on Tuesday, May 11, at the same time of your first appointment for your 2nd dose.

Mask Updates and COVID-19 Kindness

UPDATED DDPHE MASK REQUIREMENTS AS OF APRIL 14, 2021

Masks are STILL required INDOORS:

ƒ When you leave your unit. Masks must be worn in building common areas, which include, but are not limited to hallways, elevators, interior stairwells, laundry rooms, and lobbies.

ƒ When visiting the administrative office and when interacting with staff.

ƒ When visiting other indoor common areas, which include, but are not limited to CenterPoint *, auditorium, locker rooms, all community bathrooms, fitness center, pro shop and when attending classes or activities. Masks are also required when entering and exiting the indoor pool area. Masks may be removed while swimming and will not be required at the outdoor pool when it opens for the season. Some activities and classes may have specific rules regarding masks. Please ask a staff member if you need guidance on when to wear a mask.

* All spaces within CenterPoint, with exception to Birdies restaurant. The restaurant operator is responsible for enforcing mask wearing orders for their business.

Masks are NOT required OUTDOORS but are still encouraged. Take extra precaution around groups of people outdoors when you are unsure of others' vaccination status.

Masks are also NOT required inside of your unit, in the car or when it inhibits a person’s health. Residents and visitors who do not wear masks are required to exercise proper physical distancing and should not go into areas where other residents and visitors are in close proximity. Wearing masks, washing hands, and keeping a safe distance from others continues to be the theme as we slowly begin easing COVID-19 restrictions. Here are some mask reminders and COVID-19 kindness requests:

ƒ Remember your mask when you leave your unit. Even if you are making a quick trip to the trash or laundry room, please don’t forget your mask. If you haven’t done so already, think about hanging your mask on the inside of your door so you will see it as you are walking out. Even if you have been fully vaccinated, you still need to wear a mask in these areas.

WG COVID-19 Notices

Cleaning and Disinfecting Protocol Eased

We have reduced the high touch surface cleaning in buildings from 5 days per week to 2 days per week. High touch surface cleaning will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and regular cleaning duties for your building will occur on the other days of the week. If three or more cases are confirmed in a building, General Cleaning Services will increase the cleaning schedule for that building to one time per day, 7 days per week for 10 days.

Confirmed Resident COVID-19 Cases

There have been four positive COVID-19 cases since the last published update that was included in the April Windsor Life. The criteria for an outbreak is 3 or more people with confirmed cases of COVID-19 with onset within 14 days. The association continues to monitor for patterns or outbreaks within buildings, especially on the same floor.

Notifying the Association When You have a Positive COVID-19 Test Result

The association relies on residents to notify our office when you receive a positive COVID-19 test result. The administrative office manages the COVID-19 statistics for our community and reports the information to the health department. Only in extreme cases, such as a case that resulted in death, would the health department contact the association. We ask for your assistance in helping to keep our information as accurate as possible. This will allow us to provide important updates to the health department and allow us to monitor for outbreaks and patterns within buildings and within the community. During regular business hours Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., please call our main number 303-364-7485 to report a positive test result. If you need to report your positive test result after hours or on the weekend, please contact Community Response at 303-364-4924.

Notification Protocol for Confirmed Cases

Status of Residents with Confirmed COVID-19

Confirmed Deaths: 3

Residents in Hospital: 0

Residents in Rehab / Recovering Away from Unit: 0

Residents in Home Isolation: 0

Residents Recovered / Discharged: 67

Total: 70

Employee COVID-19 Cases

One activities instructor tested positive on April 28, but has not had any in-person classes or contact with staff since April 14.

We will continue to notify buildings with confirmed cases via a Pilera message and we will also provide notification to anyone who may have had exposure to the positive case. We will also post a sign on the main building entry door to advise visitors of the confirmed case in the building. The community will be updated at least once a month in the Windsor Life as to the status of confirmed cases in the community. Pilera is the main tool we use to communicate with residents during the month and in between Windsor Life issues. Please ensure that you are setup to receive these communications via email, telephone or by text. If you need assistance setting up your Pilera notifications, please contact Patricia Frawley at pfrawley@wgamail.com or (720) 862-1505 and she will assist you.

MASKS continued from page 8

ƒ Be sure to tell your family, friends, and other visitors that masks are still required inside of your building. Remind all visitors to put their masks on as soon as they enter your building.

ƒ Properly wear your mask over your nose and mouth and remind visitors to do the same.

ƒ Once you put your mask on, you should avoid touching it. If you are having to touch the mask or pull it back up into position over your nose, you should try another mask style.

ƒ Remember to wear a clean mask. Reusable masks are normally only intended for one use and then they should be washed/cleaned before wearing again. This means you need to have multiple masks to use every week. Alternatively, you may be more comfortable with disposable masks that can be thrown away after each use.

ƒ Pay it forward and keep an extra new disposable mask with you when venturing out. If you encounter someone without a mask, do not get angry. Instead, be kind and offer your extra mask to them. If you are uncomfortable and cannot maintain a safe distance from each other, you may need to wait for them to pass before continuing on your way, or you may choose to go a different direction.

Community Life Updates

WG Community Center is OPEN!

The City and County of Denver has moved to Level Blue on the COVID-19 dial with a 30-day order that went into effect on Friday, April 16. With this news, Windsor Gardens updated community precautions and operating guidelines to allow for additional community center spaces to open. The new operating guidelines allow the Windsor Gardens fitness center and indoor pool (free swim) to operate at normal capacity and no longer require reservations. Additionally, community center spaces such as the lobby, Centerpoint West, and

most of the Centerpoint second floor rooms such as the billiards room, all-purpose room, and classrooms have re-opened. The auditorium's second floor remains closed until further notice. The lapidary shop will become available mid-May. The WG library is undergoing inventory and has an anticipated opening in June. The COVID-19 Level Blue community center facilities precautions and regulations went into affect on Monday, April 26, 2021. Please see the article on page 11.

Outdoor Pool Scheduled to Open on Friday, May 28

We are pleased to announce the opening of the outdoor pool on Friday, May 28, 2021. For pool hours please see page 13. To protect the safety and health of our community, the pool is opening with additional COVID-19 precautions and regulations. A full list of COVID-19 outdoor pool rules and regulations can be found on the Windsor Gardens website or outside of the Activities Office near the pool’s keycard entrance

Pool Rules

ƒ No lifeguard on duty; swim at your own risk

ƒ Pool use is available for WG residents and no more than four guests, all 17 and older. No child swim is permitted at this time. All residents should be prepared to show their WG identification card, if asked, and sign a logbook as they enter the pool area. Guests will be required to sign the logbook under the resident sponsor’s name and pay $1 for pool access.

ƒ The pool is permitted to operate at normal capacity of 50 patrons if a safe distance of at least 6 feet can be kept from people of different households.

ƒ Masks are not required outdoors but are still encouraged when on the pool deck. Take extra precaution around groups of people outdoors when you are unsure of others’ vaccination status or when it is not possible to keep a safe distance of 6 feet.

ƒ Masks must be worn indoors when entering the community center, locker rooms and bathrooms.

ƒ Bathrooms, showers and lockers will be available for use. High touch surfaces will be regularly disinfected by the activity monitors. Bathrooms will be thoroughly cleaned by janitorial staff.

ƒ Pool access will be through the community center main entrance or the side door by the gazebos. Both require access with a resident activity keycard.

ƒ Residents should be mindful of others when at the pool, specifically when using the locker rooms. If either space is crowded and does not allow for keeping a safe distance of 6 feet from others, please be patient and wait to enter until some people exit.

Digital Tablets for Rent with Unlimited Data for Virtual Classes, Video Calls, Online Meetings and More

We realize many residents do not have access to the technology necessary for connecting to committee meetings and other resources online. To help with this, we have Samsung Galaxy tablets available for short-term rental. Your first rental (up to 7 days) will be FREE. After that, rentals will be $1 per day with a signed waiver. The tablets

are equipped with unlimited data which will allow for internet access, video calls, virtual classes, social media and much more. We will continue to fine-tune this project but are excited to get the technology into your hands! You may request to borrow a tablet by calling Cari Ervin, Community Life Manager, at 720-772-1289.

ƒ Reservations are currently limited to resident and resident-related events. Outside group reservations that can follow COVID-19 precautions will be permitted at the discretion of the Activities Department. Please note that some resident groups or events are not conducive under the current guidelines and precautions, such as card and game groups. The Activities Department will determine what groups are eligible for reservations and may deny requests at their discretion.

ƒ Room reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance through the activities office. Due to limited available space, room use will be limited to two hours per reservation, unless otherwise approved by the activities director.

PERSONAL CONDO INSURANCE AT WINDSOR GARDENS HO6 Policy

Each Windsor Gardens owner needs to purchase an HO6 policy, also known as a condominium policy. HO6 policies provide necessary coverage for Windsor Gardens residents to protect their personal assets and cover association deductibles.

An HO6 policy will have separate sections of coverage.

Section A

Covers items on the interior of the unit that are the responsibility of the homeowner which will include the value of any items that have been replaced since original construction.

Section B

Covers all personal property (furniture, clothing, etc.) of the owner.

Section C

Covers liability for the interior of the unit. When someone enters your unit, the liability is the owner’s. For example, if someone trips over the carpet in your unit and gets hurt, the liability for that is on the owner.

Section D

Loss assessment coverage. This applies to the owner being assessed for their portion of a claim that was not covered by insurance. For example, the association has a wind/ hail deductible and also a property deductible which can be assessed to an owner. And damage to common areas caused by water overflowing from a tub, or water damage from a dishwasher or hose can be assessed to a unit owner.

Make sure your personal insurance will cover these potential deductibles and that the policy does not limit how much they will pay for that deductible.

Renter’s Insurance

If you are renting your unit out, make sure your policy has an endorsement for your renting the unit or purchase a separate landlord policy. This policy should include loss of rent in the event your unit cannot be rented while it is being repaired.

Associaton Master Insurance Policy Renewed

The association’s Master Insurance Policy was renewed in April. The Master Insurance Policy provides general liability coverage, as well as coverage for property owned by the association. As part of the renewal process, Cherry Creek Insurance Group issues certificates of insurance to all mortgage companies of record. If you have a mortgage, it is likely that an insurance certificate was issued for your unit. In most cases, this process is automated and you do not need to do anything. In some cases, you may receive a letter from the mortgage company stating that they have not received evidence of insurance. If you receive this letter, please bring a copy to the association office, and we will be happy to have an insurance certificate issued. You may also go directly through Cherry Creek Insurance Group by emailing the letter to certificate@thinkccig.com or by fax to 303-799-0156, Attn: HOA Dept.

If you should have any questions about insurance coverages, please feel free to contact Tammy Tafoya, WG Business Manager at 303-364-7485, ext. 1507 or via email at ttafoya@wgamail.com.

From the Association's Insurance Agent

From Pat Wilderotter, WGA Insurance Agent

Annually your board of directors purchases insurance for the condominium association that covers the buildings, personal property of the association, general liability on the common areas, fidelity coverage and director’s and officer’s coverage. As unit owners, it is important that you maintain your own insurance to cover unit items that are your responsibility as detailed in the Windsor Gardens Amended and Restated Condominium Declaration, your personal property and liability exposures that are not covered under your association’s master insurance policy.

If there were a covered property loss at Windsor Gardens, the master association’s policy would rebuild the basic structure to original specifications minus applicable deductibles. Any improvements done to the interior of the units since original construction are the responsibility of the owner(s) to insure.

Additionally, under Section 1 (A) found in the Insurance Deductible Policy amended June 2019, the association’s basic property deductible of $25,000 can be assessed to an owner(s). In addition, your property policy has a 2% deductible of the building value for wind/hail. A buy-down policy to cover this deductible would be an excessive cost that would mandate raising the individual assessments of all owners. As a result, in the event of a total wind/hailstorm, owners could be assessed approximately $3,000. Each owner needs to make sure their individual HO6 (condominium owners policy) or their landlord’s policy (if they are renting the unit out) includes loss assessment coverage or property coverage to meet these deductibles. This coverage should have a minimal cost annually.

In accordance with Section 6.6 of the Windsor Gardens Amended and Restated Condominium Declaration, in the event that common elements need to be maintained, repaired or replaced due to an owner (or their guests, etc.) negligence or willful act or omission, especially but not limited to water overflowing from a tub, or water damage from a dishwasher or hose, then the expenses incurred by the association shall be the personal obligation of such owner.

When obtaining an individual unit owner’s insurance policy, if living in the unit, you need to obtain an HO6 (Condominium owner’s) policy. The HO6 should include these four basic coverages: unit coverage, personal property coverage, liability coverage and loss assessment. The unit coverage should cover items specified in the Amended and Restated Declaration as the responsibility of the unit owner including window treatments and any improvements/betterments made since original construction. Personal property coverage should include all furnishings and clothing. This coverage should be written on a replacement cost basis. The unit owner needs to purchase liability insurance for anything that occurs within their unit. When someone enters your unit, the liability exposure becomes yours. Finally, loss assessment coverage applies if you are assessed by the association for an underinsured covered claim or the deductible portion of a claim. Most HO6 policies include one thousand dollars of loss assessment coverage, make sure this is not a sublimit for coverage available if paying a deductible. Please review this coverage with your agent and make sure your coverage is adequate.

We recommend that each unit owner take pictures or videos of the inside of your home and store them somewhere away from your home. In the event of a loss, this makes claims handling much easier.

If you have questions regarding the association’s insurance, you can reach our agent, Pat Wilderotter, at 720-212-2065. To request a certificate of insurance, please email your request to certificate@ thinkccig.com or fax your request to 303-799-0156, Attn: HOA Dept.

Parking Stall Ownership and Re-assignments

From Rebecca Zazueta, General Manager

Over the years there has been confusion about the ownership of parking stalls and what steps need to be taken if an owner wants to “sell” their parking stall to another owner. Parking stalls include assigned above ground surface parking spaces, garages and assigned parking spaces in underground garages. Here are a few parking stall facts you may not be aware of:

ƒ Parking stalls are not attached to people. Parking stalls are attached to units.

ƒ All parking stalls were originally common elements. The original declarant assigned many parking stalls by warranty deed as outlined below and subsequently the association acquired the right to assign parking spaces to units that had not previously been assigned. The association’s Declaration defines parking stalls as Limited Common Elements. Parking stalls are not owned by unit owners.

ƒ Warranty deeds for units typically have an Exhibit A which provides the legal description for the unit as well as an exclusive right to use and occupy one or more parking stalls. If the parking stall(s) were owned, they would be included in the legal description for real property instead of being listed as an exclusive right to use and occupy, which is standard language used for Limited Common Elements.

ƒ The association assigns parking stalls to units and provides an exclusive right to use and occupy, these spaces as Limited Common Elements.

ƒ A quit claim deed cannot be used to transfer (aka sell) a parking stall from one owner to another. If an owner wants to sell their exclusive right to use and occupy a parking stall, the association and the owner of the unit to which the parking stall is assigned must initiate the process to reassign the parking stall. This process is dictated by the association’s Declaration as well as CCIOA. Technically, a parking re-assignment is considered a Declaration amendment which only requires approval by the association and the owners who are transferring or acquiring the right to use the parking stall.

Re-assignment Process

The first step in the re-assignment process is for an owner to advise the administrative office in writing that they want to re-assign their parking space(s) to another Windsor Gardens unit. The written notification must include the following details and supporting documentation:

1. The owner’s name, contact information, address, and the parking lot and stall number to be re-assigned. A copy of the recorded warranty deed for the owner’s unit must be included with the request.

2. The name, contact information, and address of the unit that is acquiring the exclusive right to use the parking stall. A copy of their recorded warranty deed must also be included with the request.

3. A $600 deposit check made out to Windsor Gardens Association to initiate the legal work, which includes the review of the unit ownership and parking stall(s) assignment history and the drafting and recording of the reassignment document. In many cases, the $600 may cover all the expenses incurred to complete the reassignment, but additional billing could apply. If you have a quit claim deed for a parking stall, or the parking stall has moved around from one unit to another, it will require extra work to complete a reassignment. If one of the owners is deceased, but still on the deed, a Supplemental Affidavit and Death Certificate may be required. If the unit is owned by a Trust, a Statement of Authority is required. Once the initial request and information is received, a staff member will be able to discuss the specific circumstances and estimated costs with the parties involved.

It is very important to keep in mind that the reassignment process takes time to complete and will require at least two to four weeks. Owners are encouraged to plan ahead and ensure that there is adequate time to manage reassignments especially if it is connected to a closing or plan to sell a unit. In some cases, the research can be extensive and may ultimately delay a closing.

COP Shop @ WG

Community Operated Policing Storefront

Dear Cop Shop:

The Cop Shop is operated by volunteers who work with the Denver Police Department to assist with citizen complaints, accident reports and various other activities that would normally require a trip to the district station.

The Leetsdale Cop Shop has no fixed dates to be at WG at the time of this publication, but will return very soon! In the meantime, keep an eye on the Windsor Life and Windsor Gardens Facebook Page for updates, or feel free to contact us at 303-329-0500 or leetsdalecopshop@hotmail.com.. Stay safe and be kind to all you meet.

Dear Cop Shop

The catalytic converter on my car was stolen. What is that and why would anyone want it?

Dumfounded

Dear Dumfounded:

Weird things are happening all over and catalytic converter theft is on the rise all across our nation and internationally! It takes a thief only a couple of minutes at night to slide under a vehicle and cut out the converter, which is between the engine and exhaust. The catalytic converter is on all cars produced after the mid-‘70s and helps reduce harmful exhaust gases that cause smog.

The thieves don’t want the whole converter; they want what it contains…precious metals like platinum, rhodium and palladiam, which are in high demand in the vehicle and electronics industries. Cars, light duty trucks and motorcycles can have 2 to 6 grams of the metals, large engine SUVs and trucks have 6 to 30 grams. There are 28+ grams in an ounce. Thieves sell the converters to metal dealers and recyclers for up to $200 who then extract and resell the metals. Rhodium can go for up to $6,000 per ounce. Currently, platinum is trading at about $35 a gram, palladium about $77 and rhodium for $514 a gram on the open market. A night of stealing a truck load of converters can net a thief a tidy profit making this a highly lucrative endeavor right now.

To prevent thefts, park in well lighted areas and near entrances, park your car in the garage with the door shut and locked, and calibrate your car’s alarm to go off when it senses vibration.

If you need it, the non-emergency police number is 720-913-2000, option 0. Leetsdale Cop Shop is available to you at 303-329-0500 (call or text) or e-mail us at leetsdalecopshop@hotmail.com.

Community Response Phone Line has Two-Minute Time Limit

The main number for Community Response is 303-364-4924. Community Response does not have a dispatcher to filter and triage calls. All calls are routed through one line directly to an officer’s handheld radio or “walkie-talkie.” When a call is received and answered by an officer, that line is now tied up, and other incoming calls cannot be accepted.

Because a call ties up the one line, our system has a two-minute time limit to release the line and will automatically disconnect the call. The officers have no control to keep the call connected past the twominute mark. Once they hear a series of beeps that indicate the call is about to be disconnected, they will warn you of the impending disconnect.

It’s important to keep your conversations brief. Calling to complain about the noise of a helicopter flying over or asking several questions about the menu at the restaurant is not helpful for the other 3500+ residents who may be trying to call in for a potential emergency. That is why the two-minute time limit exists. There are occasions when an

officer is in the middle of assisting a very sick person or detaining a car thief, for example. If you do not have an emergency and call to inquire about why the Broncos game is not airing, they might disconnect the call early to focus on their current situation.

For a non-emergency, consult the list of management department contacts in the Windsor Life and on the Windsor Gardens website or call the administration office during regular business hours, and they can direct your call to the right department to help you. This keeps the Community Response line open for incoming emergency calls. If it’s after business hours, the Community Response number is the correct number to call if you do not have heat in your unit or a sprinkler head will not shut off in the lawn, but be prepared for a potential disconnect in non-emergency situations.

What is an emergency?

Anything that may be an imminent threat to life or property is an emergency. If that is the case, call 911, and the 911 dispatchers will notify Community Response. Not having hot water may be an emergency to you, but life and property damage take precedence. Who can I call in Community Response with a question? Katie Monasmith at 720-862-1524 or email her at kmonasmith@wgamail. com. She is the administrative assistant for Community Response, and she can either answer the question or direct you to another staff member of Community Response to answer your question.

Down to Earth

Showers and Flowers

It has been said that April showers bring on May flowers, but in 2021 it has been March snow that brought on our April flowers in the form of daffodils, tulips and crocus. It has been fun watching as the bulbs started to pop up, with their bright colors and new energy. Seems like we went from winter to spring overnight, and we have so much to do before we can plant the annual flowers. For example, the irrigation system will need to be activated and the flower beds prepped.

Last spring, we were faced with a choice of whether to only plant a portion of the ordered annual flowers, none at all or go for it and plant the entire order. General Manager Rebecca Zazueta said she wanted to go for it and plant everything. That was a bold move with all the uncertainty from the pandemic and the fact that the grounds crew was considered non-essential and only returned

SPRING CLEANUP

to work on May 11, 2020. We modified the annual flower planting program to fit the size crew we had. Instead of planting all of the 48,000 flowers in one week and bringing in 8 to 10 extra temp laborers to help, we decided to plant half of the order the first week and then plant a second delivery after Memorial Day and only use the crew we had on staff. As it turned out, the plan worked so well that we hope to duplicate it again this season.

Spring is always an exciting time of year here at Windsor Gardens, with so much to do and so many new plants emerging and budding out. I have to say the crocuses are my favorite because they grow right through the snow, and they symbolize to me that we have survived another Colorado winter and it’s time for the April showers to bring on our May flowers.

Large Item Pickup is Wednesday, May 19

The annual Large Item Removal Day is on Wednesday, May 19. Please set broken or unusable items in front of your garage the morning of May 19. Those of you with underground garages need to set your items in the aisle behind your vehicle or a column. Items that the crew cannot pick up: large appliances, TVs, electronics, mattresses, box springs or hazardous materials (including oil, combustible liquids, aerosol products, pesticides, paint, mineral spirits, varnishes, solvents, and other flammable material).

Windsor Gardens and the High Line Canal have a Long Connection

The High Line Canal, bordering nearly a mile on the southern edge of our community, shares a physical and historical link to Windsor Gardens that spans parts of three centuries, a connection based on water.

The canal, conceived in 1870, was to be the first large canal ever built for the purposes of transporting and selling irrigation water to landowners along its path. It came about because water in our state is such a precious commodity. In other states, water rights belong primarily to property owners on a stream. But Colorado has unique water laws, based on the Colorado Doctrine, that allow water to be diverted from a stream and taken by ditches to its beneficial use (meaning someone willing to pay for it). So here, if a company could acquire sufficient water rights, a long canal fed by the South Platte River could be dug without hindrance.

Finally completed in 1883, the High Line Canal begins at a diversion point on the South Platte River above the mouth of Waterton Canyon. It meanders 66 miles (30 as the crow flies), and the adjoining trail has been extended another five miles, in and out of five metropolitan counties before ending in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood under the shadows of jets coming and going at nearby Denver International Airport. Remarkably, by a feat of superb surveying, the canal drops only 132 feet from start to end, about 2 feet per mile, always occupying the highest point in the terrain, to allow customers and fields on either side to use the unfailing power of gravity to take irrigation water at its tightly-managed gates.

Unfortunately, while it may have been one of the biggest irrigation projects in the area, the High Line Canal wasn’t the first and had difficulty getting sufficient water rights because earlier ditches held prior claims. In fact, the canal’s rights were junior to 74 other canals in the South Platte watershed, and so it was frequently dry.

Denver Water took over operation and ownership of the entire canal in 1924 and soon set up agreements with city parks and recreation departments along its route to develop what is one of the largest urban trails anywhere. Hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, birdwatching, picnicking in adjoining parks, even horseback riding in some segments, make the High Line Canal Trail one of the most important recreational and fitness amenities in all of Colorado.

In 2014 the High Line Canal Conservancy was formed, a coalition of private citizens who provide leadership and connect stakeholders in support of comprehensive planning to ensure that the Canal is protected and enhanced for future generations.

Windsor Gardens and the High Line Canal may not have existed without each other.

Among the first and most important original customers of the High Line Canal, and a prime reason it was built, was Windsor Farm. The history of Windsor Farm involves the Tabors and the Browns among others and invokes such names as Molly Brown and Baby Doe Tabor. The farm was started in 1879 by Horace Tabor to provide vegetables, dairy, eggs and meats to his grand Windsor Hotel in the heart of booming Denver and later served the Brown Palace Hotel, other big hotels and Denver as a whole. Windsor Farm operated for decades, in the latter years primarily as a dairy, until it was acquired in the early 1960s by the developers of Windsor Gardens.

The 3,500 residents of Windsor Gardens prize the High Line Canal, under its rich canopy of tall cottonwoods that shares our long southern border. We claim it as our own and enjoy it as a recreational treasure. Because of the centuries of connection, friendship and mutual benefits we share, many folks who live here believe that the stretch that passes by our beautiful Windsor Gardens is the crowning glory of the historic High Line Canal.

Residents interested in joining and supporting the High Line Conservancy are encouraged to contact them at their website, https:// highlinecanal.org. Let them know you live at Windsor Gardens.

City Council District 5: Expanding Housing Affordability Benefits Us All

From Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer, Denver City Council District 5

Many of us would agree that the most pressing issue facing our city today is how to make housing more affordable for more Denverites. The implications and outcomes of accessible affordable housing impact us all, regardless of our personal ability to pay for housing. A vibrant, smooth-running city is welcoming to, and in fact relies on, a population of varied backgrounds. Importantly, more affordable housing options would mean fewer people experiencing homelessness in Denver, and less stress on our public and private safety nets, which benefits us all.

In 2020, Denver’s Community Planning and Development (CPD) launched the “Expanding Affordability Project” with a focus on creating a citywide zoning incentive. As part of Denver's overall strategy to provide more and better housing opportunities for all residents, this project aimed to create new tools and improve existing ones to address residents' growing housing needs.

In early 2021, CPD expanded the project to include an update to the City's linkage fee and to address potential changes to state law, which currently limits what affordable housing Denver can require developers to build. Over the last few months, the Affordable Housing Zoning Incentive Project has shifted gears to include more tools, along with zoning, to help address our housing needs. CPD is partnering with the Department of Housing Stability (HOST), and the new Expanding Affordability Project will now involve:

ƒ a citywide zoning incentive that would allow projects to build taller buildings if more affordable units are included,

ƒ an update to the City's linkage fee, which requires all new development to either include affordable housing or pay a fee that supports Denver's affordable housing fund, and

ƒ potential changes to state law on "inclusionary housing," which refers to requirements that cities can establish for new for-sale or for-rent developments. Currently, state law puts strict limits on what Denver and other cities statewide can require.

CPD says, “This particular project will develop tools to encourage the construction of affordable and mixed-income housing across the city. New housing where people can live near jobs, transit and the services they need will help address housing demands and create a more sustainable Denver.”

When I ran for office, I made a commitment that I would keep a sharp eye on the issue of development in Denver, because it matters very much to you. While our city will continue to grow, we must be thoughtful about development and ensure that what’s being built enhances and benefits our community. I believe that the “Expanding Affordability Project” is the way to achieve that goal and look forward to implementing these changes to our laws.

Planners began community outreach in early spring 2021 to explain how these tools will fit into Denver's overall housing strategy. Thank you to everyone who attended the virtual Southeast Denver Elected Officials Town Hall on March 25, which our office hosted in partnership with other elected officials from southeast Denver about this subject. Visit denvergov.org/affordabilityincentive for additional project information and to learn more about why affordable housing matters to all of us. Visit DenverGov.org/housing to learn about other initiatives currently underway.

Welcome to Pet’s Corner, a place for us to share stories and insights about the lives we share with our pet companions, here at Windsor Gardens.

George Kit Dakota came to me by way of the pandemic. In March 2020 I shut down my business travel and worked from home for the first time in years. By July the isolation was too much to bear. My son sensing my frustration brought a rescue kitten back from a family trip to a funeral. All of George could fit into just one of my hands. And from that moment on he has burrowed a way into my heart.

To be honest, I did not expect George to survive that first night. He sneezed constantly, lifting his whole body up and shaking his head. A box was made up with a soft towel so he could stay warm. That night so many questions filled my head. Was he hungry? What would he eat? What to drink? What if he didn’t survive? It was rough for both of us.

Then I woke the next morning and all those concerns were lifted. As I listened, George used the box to relieve himself. That single act told me that George would have a new life in my home. And it told me I had a towel to wash. Of course, George gobbled up the eggs and bacon from my dish. And he drank water like there was no tomorrow. He had survived and was ready to thrive.

Moral of the Story: Responsibility was the first lesson George taught to me. Responsibility for this new life in my home. The first of many lessons to come. George has taught me each lesson with love and tenderness. I can’t wait to learn more.

My hope is that we will all share more about our pet companions here at the Pet’s Corner and inspire, support and learn from each other. We can share what makes us frustrated and what makes us proud. I have a cat. Others have dogs. Some have birds and other companions. Each shares love in a special way. Each brings its own demands.

Send me your stories. I will share more about George and me. Our companions have so much to give us. You can email your pet companion stories to me at Mike.Lopez@wgamail.com or to Windsor Life at windsorlife@wgamail.com.

Arlo Sonnenberg Reaches 103 Years

Arlo Sonnenberg was born on March 26, 1918, on the Colorado plains about 20 miles from Sterling. He was raised on a farm that grew wheat and corn and raised cattle. He attended grade and high school in the Logan County school district and graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley with majors in industrial arts and music. He has worked as a printer and a cabinet maker.

Arlo was married for 68 years to Nellie Elizabeth and they had three sons. He has several grandchildren and one great-great grandson.

At one point, Arlo said, his and Nellie's house in Sterling was a “ramshackle thing.” But then the Westron Corporation began offering homes for $10,000. Their new home was delivered on a truck and put up in one week on a pre-poured concert slab. He said it was a good house and after about 15 years they picked it up and moved it to Fort Collins when their middle son began college. In

about 2003, Arlo and Nellie moved to Denver to assist her mother.

When their oldest son was born, there was a lady in the hospital from Yugoslavia who told Arlo and Nellie that she was going back to visit her parents and asked if they would like to take the trip. Arlo said that was the beginning of them becoming tour directors. It worked out quite well because as directors their travel was paid for. They made trips to Europe, Japan, China, France and the “whole kit and caboodle” he said.

Arlo has been at Windsor Gardens for about 15 years. He has a quiet little saw that he can use in his bathroom to do his woodwork here at WG because “it’s not so easy to walk to the woodworking shop anymore.” He says he keeps checking with the neighbors to make sure he and his saw are not disturbing them. Recently he made two hearts intertwined to show friendship and love. Another of his favorite pastimes is reading.

Happy Birthday, Arlo. You and your saw keep up the good work!

Carol Rose

WG Artist Club Profile

“Whispering Spring,” created by Carol Rose, is an artist journey in an imaginary scene to play with technique to retain the form of rocks while water flows over them. Carol enjoys variety in all things, especially in art mediums. She has been both selftaught and immersed in art classes. While studying everything from pastels, folk art and acrylic (which provides more control), she has found that the challenges of watercolor please her sense of curiosity the most. She loves to see the outcomes. Carol finds that nothing helps with watercolor more than practice. In this painting, she is combining watercolor with watercolor pencil. Carol is a firm believer in learning the artistic rules, having fun breaking them and knowing the answer to why she chose to.

Lorraine Hobbs, Social Worker Supervisor and So Much More

From Bobbie Mays

When you run into this beautiful lady and her dog, Maggie, you can see the happiness they bring to each other as they walk along Alton several times each day.

Lorraine Hobbs was born in Morgan City, Mississippi, a small town where her parents were visiting relatives; however, she claims her birthplace as Denver, Colorado. Her great grandfather was of a Native American Indian and French descent and her great grandmother was African. She has one brother currently living in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and a daughter by her first husband, two grandchildren and three great grandchildren currently residing in Denver. She remembers fun times during her youth while living in East Denver and growing up with Richard, her first husband, and Beatty, her second husband. In those days there were not many opportunities to venture out to places that are available to youth today. Most teenagers frequented City Park to play tennis, took walks through the Denver Zoo, and enjoyed gatherings near the gardens of the park.

Lorraine attended Mitchell Elementary School, Cole Middle School and then graduated from Manual High School in 1942. She was crowned Manual’s Black Prom Queen her senior year. At that time there were very few black students in the Denver school system. Although classes were integrated, social activities were not. At 4 foot 10 inches, she was teased a lot because she always attracted the attention of the few tall young men in her classes.

Lorraine attended the University of Colorado in Boulder; however, housing was not available on campus at that time and she with other young black and Japanese women lived off campus at a large home provided by the university. She transferred to Howard University her second year and this was her first experience in meeting a large array of black educators and students from many countries who spoke many languages. In 1946 she earned an undergraduate degree in business from Howard and in 1973 received her masters’ degree in social work from Denver University. In addition to her many studies, she enjoyed playing softball and volleyball and was also ping pong champion her senior year at Howard.

After working for the City and County of Denver for many years and then obtaining her master’s degree, she finally accomplished her dream of becoming a social worker supervisor. She continues to be friends with previous co-workers whom she met during her 43-year employment with the City and County of Denver. She experienced face-to-face, hairy situations during her career as a social worker supervisor. However, she would not have changed the opportunities she shared in the communities that she served.

She remembers visiting with a client who was of size, and the client invited her to sit on a cot in her home. After Lorraine sat down, the

Denver's Disposable Bag Fee Goes Into Effect on July 1

To help reduce the number of disposable carryout bags used, littered and landfilled, a fee on disposable bags goes into effect on July 1, 2021, and requires retail stores in Denver to charge $0.10 for each disposable bag – plastic, paper or other material including but not limited to compostable material – provided to customers at checkout. The goal of this is to reduce the impacts and costs of disposable bags in the community and encourage the use of reusable bags.

For more information, including FAQs, specific guidelines and a reusable bag giveaway planned for June, go to:

www.denvergov.org/Government/Departments/Climate-ActionSustainability-Resiliency/Programs-Services/Fee-on-DisposableBags#section-2

You can also call 311, Denver's non-emergency phone number. Bring your own bag to avoid the charge!

RESIDENT PROFILE

other woman sat on the opposite end of the cot, and Lorraine went flying through the air. They both ended up laughing and forming a relationship that could have been a little strained if this event had not taken place. At that time Lorraine weighed approximately 75 pounds. Another experience that was very memorable to her as a social worker supervisor was while visiting a couple who had several children. They were talking about someone who had recently gotten married, and the conversation led to the couple’s interest in getting married. Lorraine volunteered to help them with the arrangements. The excitement by all in this household was very contagious. She assisted this family with an appointment with a priest and purchasing a wedding dress for the bride, suit for the groom and appropriate clothing for the children. She attended the ceremony as a special guest and shared in the joy of this special event. Lorraine has always had a big heart willing to be supportive and encouraging to others with whom she comes in contact.

After her first husband, Richard King, passed away she married Beatty. He was a technical writer for the Air Force and received duel degrees in mathematics and music. He was tempted at one time to leave his lucrative career as a highly technical information specialist related to missiles and other defense devices. He had an opportunity to leave this field and join Dizzy Gillespie’s band at a recording studio. On his way to California, he changed his mind and returned home. He continued to play jazz with local talents and fulfilled his dream of being a well-known musician.

Throughout her lifetime, Lorraine has contributed to the community in many ways. She participated in the Slip and Sliders Ski Club in 1972 to introduce black youths to the sport of skiing. The city of Denver sanctioned softball teams, and she played with a group under the night lights. She helped write a booklet on parenting for mothers-incrisis and was featured on a TV show to promote this accomplishment.

toenails trimming, calluses/corns filing, medications review and blood pressure check. Fingernail cuts are also available for $15, and if you want a blood pressure check only, it is $5.

Kaiser patients can call 303-698-6496 to see if your plan qualifies you for free foot care before your first visit. If you are a Kaiser member and come without pre-approval, you may be subject to private pay. Please bring your Kaiser ID.

Ear Clinic at WG

Bayer's Mobile Ear Clinic is back at WG on Mondays, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., in the ALL-PURPOSE ROOM on the 2nd floor of CenterPoint. The clinic provides hearing tests, hearing aid repairs, batteries and wax management. Masks and reservations are required, please call 720-937-9919.

continued from page 23

Lorraine received several commendations in her life. The mayor of Denver recognized her for negotiating a peaceful transition during racial tensions when George Washington High School opened in the 1960s. She also received an award for talking down a client with a gun who was threatening to enter their headquarters and shoot people. Her office was located across the street from the Black Panthers office in Five Points. She was very active at her church, Scott United Methodist Church, for 92 years.

An enthusiastic bridge player, Lorraine first developed an interest in this card game in the 1940s. She was a member of the Just Friends Bridge Group and had played with the group since the 1970s. Bowling was another one of her special interests, and she proudly exhibits many badges she received from tournaments. Lorraine just celebrated her 75th anniversary with the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Traveling to many countries has been one of the joys of Lorraine's life. As souvenirs, she managed to collect miniature spoons from most of these places. She remembers being in Paris when Princess Diana was killed. And her feet have touched the soil of 47 states in the United States for various reasons during her adult life.

Moving to Windsor Gardens started a new adventure for her after the passing of her second husband in 2003. She has been a building treasurer and has participated on many committees. Lorraine continues to offer a very positive attitude when approached for her advice on various topics.

She has worked with many ethnic groups during her career and only hopes she has made a difference in their lives as well as her neighbors in Building 44.

Thank you for sharing your amazing story with us this month, Lorraine!

Theme: Thoughts on a Well-Lived Life

Human Nature by Hap Hansen

Like everyone else, I have learned many things over the years about people and human nature.

Most folks are kind and decent and we should ignore those who are not. Here are a few things I have observed over the years about having a well-lived life.

I have learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for a long time; that it’s taken me a long time to become the person I want to be and I’m still not there; that you should always leave loved ones with loving words, it may be the last time you see them; that you can keep going long after you can’t.

We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel; that we either control our attitude, or it controls us; that heroes are the people who do what has to be done, regardless of the consequences; we should be happy if we didn’t give, or get, Covid.

I’ve learned that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones that help you get back up; that sometimes when I’m angry, I have the right to be angry, but that doesn’t give me the right to be nasty; that maturity has more to do with the types of experiences we’ve had and what we’ve learned from them.

I’ve learned that your family may not always be there for you. It may seem funny, but people you aren’t related to can also take care of you and love you and teach you to trust them; that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you once in a while and you must forgive them for that. Sometimes we have to learn to forgive ourselves; that no matter how bad our hearts may be broken, the world doesn’t stop for our grief.

I’ve learned that our backgrounds and experiences may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become; that we don’t have to change friends if we understand that friends change; that we shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret, it could change our life forever; that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different, especially in politics! That even when we think we have no more to give, we can find a way; when a friend calls out to us, we will find the strength to help and that people we care most about in life are taken from us too soon. Most of all, I have learned from that old cliché, that yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, today is all we have. Make the most of it. Live your life well!

Theme: Lies My Mother Told Me

The Ten Suggestions by Pete Clark

Back in my toddling days and beyond into my maturing childhood, my mother told all the culturally demanded lies. Most of these fabrications were in support of the country’s major religion. Tales such as that of an obsessive-compulsive old man who is fixated on delivering toys to all of the world’s children in one night each year. Supposedly he was enabled by an army of elves who helped him create the gifts to be distributed. Christmas is a feel-good time of year, but imagine how you would feel if someone held a birthday party for you and the participants exchanged gifts with each other and left you out of the loop. The Easter Bunny comes along in the spring as a reminder to the populace to go forth and multiply. The Tooth Fairy, which goes back to a 10th Century Norse tradition, is just there to incentivize children to have their baby teeth pulled to clear the way for permanent teeth to grow in. I appreciate the fact that my mother did not try to convince me that George Washington would not tell a lie. The public school system tried to do that for her. Other than the culturally mandated fibs, I do not believe my mother ever lied to me. However, she did unwittingly pass on volumes of misinformation. When we moved into central Wyoming, we lived fifteen miles from the nearest town. Mother rarely went into Riverton with us. She spent her time doing housework, gardening, reading and listening to her Zenith table radio. I remember listening to the Army-McCarthy hearings with her, and she found a radio station

that specialized in kooks and their conspiracy theories. One man read and discussed the Stillwell Papers, which were the General’s diary. The man extracted information from the papers that was more his imagination than anything Stillwell had written. He was trying to prove that Vinegar Joe, as the press called Stillwell, had set China up for a communist takeover. That was far from the truth, but my mother believed him and others voicing far-out conspiracies theories.

Mom listened intently to radio evangelists. One of them pushed the Hoxsey cancer cure. Hoxsey had moved his clinic to Mexico as the FDA had refused to recognize it as a valid method to fight cancer. The evangelist claimed the procedure was outlawed because the AMA did not want to lose its greatest cash cow, cancer treatment. A second evangelist fixated on a supposed governmental UFO coverup. The Roswell Incident in July 1947 provided a lot of fodder for those who manufacture reality and envision a warped future. A third radio preacher voiced great concerns about the development of a unified Europe that would become a fierce contender against the United States in the struggle for world domination.

My mother knew her King James Version Bible inside out and did not consider the Ten Commandments to be the Ten Suggestions.

Other than in the instances of the above-mentioned cultural demands, she was true to her word with me and anyone else.
