Letters to the Editor Foothills Park and Recreation district needs our commu-nity backing. The November 2017 election “mail-in ballot” will include a question seeking a 2.75 mill levy increase for Foothills Parks and Recreation which will support future costs for operational activities for the upkeep of our parks capital repairs and equipment. The current mill levy has not been increased since 2000 and the 68 current parks, some of which are more than thirty (30) years old are in need of significant repair. These parks which enhance our property values and style of life include Clement, Easton Regional Park, Fehringer Ranch and the Schaefer Complex. The “structures” one asso-ciates with Foothills, Edge Ice Arena, Lily Gulch, Peak and Ridge Rec Centers along with Meadows and Foothills Golf generate approximately 75% of Foothills’ operational revenue via non-property tax sources such as User Fees, Admission Fees, Rentals, Conservation Trust Funds (Lottery) and Specific Ownership Tax (a portion of license plates). This means approx-imately 25% of operational revenue comes from property taxes. Community Neighborhood Parks such as our Chaucer Park are maintained at significant cost and are non-revenue generat-ing. And there are 42 of them plus 21 greenbelts. The mill levy which has been vetted well by a citizens group and pollsters was accepted well by a subset of our District’s 93,000 residents due to a sunset clause of the mill levy after nine (9) years. The outcome of a “yes” on this ballot issue would result in about $1.65/month per $100,000 of a home’s value. Let’s get behind this!—Regards,

Ed Novelli, Friends For Foothills, Canterbury Resident

Staying Safe The JEFFCO Sheriff investigated the car break-ins in our area on Sunday the 13th. The Deputy was at the Weavers house (10668 W. Quarto Dr) the morning of the 13th investigating their break-in, when I noticed the old silver Honda Accord parked on our cul-de-sac behind my car. I thought it belonged to the family of one of my neigh-bors. A couple of days later, I got suspicious as the windows were down during the several days of rain we had. I called the JEFFCO Sheriff’s Office (local substation) with the license number and description and reported it as what appeared to be an abandoned car that showed up at the same time as the break-ins occurred. The Deputy that responded to my call, confirmed it was a stolen car registered in North Denver. The Deputy pulled a number of prints from the inside and outside of the car. It is now part of an investigation to determine whether this “stolen car” is, in some way, connected with the break-ins in our HOA. Being situationally aware is an important community attribute and can help all of our HOA residents keep our HOA safe!

Jeffco Sheriff’s Behind the Badge It feels like summer just began, but the start of another school year is right around the corner. It’s time to purchase school books, pencils and pens, and backpacks. On the list may also be a new computer, laptop, or tablet. As students get back into the swing of doing homework and aiming for high grades, the Sheriff’s Office recommends they also take precautions to thwart malware and phishing schemes by practicing safe technology usage. Malicious cyber activity affects students in a variety of ways, ranging from scams to cyber bullying. Fortunately, there are a five simple steps you can take to keep you, your kids, and your devices protected from the latest threats.Keep software up-to-date. Be sure to keep the operating system, browser software, and apps fully updated with patches. Even new machines can have out-of-date software that leaves you at risk. Operating systems and applications are constantly being updated to fix bugs and address security issues. You should use automatic updates to ensure you’re using the most secure version of the software that is available. Also, review the privacy settings – when an app is updated, it may

change your settings.Malware Protection. Make sure to have antivirus and anti-phishing support installed on all devices (desktops, laptops, tablets, etc.). Set it to update auto-matically and run virus scans at least once a week. Since malware today is increasingly sophisticated

cy can be deadly! Once you acknowledge that there are real threats in your world, it is important to understand that YOU are responsible for your own safety and security! Government resources are finite, and trained experts just can’t be everywhere danger might be, or stop every bad act. Once you have the right mindset, you will find your own “gut instincts” are better than you thought. You can

tell when “something is not quite right” or “out-of-place” as well as anyone else. If you learn to listen to your subconscious mind, you will find you can see the subtle signs of danger that can lead to serious trouble as if they have a yellow highlighter around them. Being situationally aware does mean you need to be more observant that you normally are while you are doing other things. In law enforcement training, they use a system to describe the five distinct levels of awareness (“Cooper’s colors”). Most of us can think of this in terms of our five degrees of attention when we are driving a car. They include “tuned out,” “relaxed awareness”, “focused awareness”, “high alert”, and “coma-tose”…yes I said comatose! Stay tuned for next month’s description of the levels of awareness.

Do you want to avoid danger? Do you want to help protect your loved ones? Do you want to help make your community safer? If you answered yes to any of these, you need to improve your “situation-al awareness” mindset. Yes, I said “mindset”, not “skills”. Being aware of one’s surrounding and being able to identify potential threats and dangerous situ-ations—from crazy drivers, to potential ID theft, to terrorist events in the making—is more of a mindset than a professional skill. When most people think about situational awareness, they think about the ability of a law enforcement officer to know what is going on around him, or what a fire fighter is looking for as he enters a smoky building. But being “situationally aware” is a critical mindset that everyone needs to work on. If you have the right mindset, and become conscious of what is going on around you, you will be able to see and avoid criminal behavior, dangerous situations, and even terrorist activities. The primary element in establishing this mindset is to first recognize that threats do exist around you. It may burst your security bubble to admit this, but ignorance and denial of a threat makes it difficult to act quickly to avoid the threat, and easier to make the right decisions in the first few minutes of a disaster. If you don’t have any situational awareness, you are going to be just another victim. Apathy, denial and complacen-

Mediation Services collaborates with government agen-cies in serving the citizens of Jefferson County by provid-ing effective mediation, communication, and negotiation processes, using qualified, professional volunteers, in order to foster harmony through conflict resolution ser-vices.If Your Dog is the “Problem Barker” If you have received a complaint about your dog, it is important to correct the problem so that your neighbors do not take legal action, or take their frustrations out on your dog. Remember, being proactive and solving the problem at hand will help you to avoid legal action, and will promote good relations with your neighbors.Why Some Dogs Bark, and Some Suggestions • Boredom Some dogs will bark just because they are bored.

Supply your pet with chew toys or beef bones. Give him a ball, stuffed toy or something that will occupy him while you are away.

• Loneliness Many dogs bark because they are lonely and want

some company. By barking, the dog has gotten your attention, and whether you punish him or not, he has attained his goal. Therefore, he may continue to bark just so he can see you. This is a bad situation for both you and the dog.

• Restrictions on Freedomcontinued on page 6

Barking: County Regulation The Jefferson County Animal Control and Licensing Regulation prohibits a dog from disturbing the peace of any other person by loud, habitual and persistent barking, howling, yelping, whining, whether the dog is on or off the dog owner’s premises. Violation of this provision could result in a penalty assessment which ranges from $50 to $1,000 and/or a court appearance.How to Report Problem Barking Animal Control recommends talking face to face with the dog’s owner as a the first step. We offer a Problem Barking Brochure Adobe PDF Icon as a guide for dog owners that might be of assistance. If all of this is unsuccessful, you may call 303-271-5070 (extension 0) and file a formal complaint. Depending on what prior contacts we have with the dog owner, we can either mail a letter, post an official warning notice, or have you sign a complaint so we can issue a summons and assess a fine. For us to issue a summons, we must have two signed complaints from separate households in the area. • To file a complaint we need your name, address and phone num-

ber and the address of the owner of the barking dog. • We need a description of the dog(s) and the most recent date and

duration of time that you were disturbed. • We also need you to describe how you know the barking is

coming from the address you have identified, i.e. you can see the dogs barking from your window, you have followed the barking to the source, etc.

• Animal Control does not take action on anonymous complaints If you have a dog-barking problem in your neighborhood, Mediation Services (through Jefferson County Justice Services) may be an option.

hard cement floor is far from comfortable. Be aware of the dangers of leaving your dog in the garage.

• No matter where you decide to keep your pet, be certain there is clean water and shelter available at all times. Many dogs will bark and whine if they are thirsty or cold.

When your dog starts to bark, it is the dog owner’s respon-sibility to find out what is causing the problem. Do not ignore the barking no matter what time it may be.A Cure The best thing you can do to correct this problem is work on training the dog. For specific directions, contact a qualified obedience instructor. Spend time with your dog and include him in your daily activities. Remember, you are his only means of exercise and love.Mechanical and Surgical Solutions Anti-bark collars, either electronic or sonic, as well as fence-mounted anti-bark devices, are available through local pet store and pet product distributors. Veterinarians can “debark” a dog surgically by cutting the vocal cords. Talk with your veterinarian about what method may be more appropriate for your pet. Both methods are more effective when accompa-nied by consistent training. If you are too busy to spend time with your dog every day, you are probably too busy to own a dog. Please evaluate your situation and do what is best for your dog.

— http://jeffco.us/sheriff/animal-control/barking/

A dog who is chained continuously in a small area will tend to become aggressive. He will soon bark at the slightest sound or movement, such as leaves, moving cars or the wind. Be aware that the dog is barking to relieve his tension due to being confined and lonely; a cruel situation for any animal to be in.

• Protective of Territory This is very natural for any type of dog, yet consistent

and habitual barking is a sign of an unruly dog. It is important to teach your dog to bark enough to alert you and then to respond to you and sit quietly. This way the dog feels he is protecting his property while the owner is still in control of his behavior.

Solutions to the Problem Barking The following are suggestions that may help you solve a barking dog problem. These suggestions may not work on hyperactive or vocal dogs. You may need to seek professional training for your pet. • Bring your dog in the house when you leave. Many dogs

bark continually once you are gone. If you do not want your dog to have the run of the house, you may wish to contain the dog in a certain area, i.e., a basement or laundry room.

• Put your dog in the garage. Many people choose to do this if they have a large dog. Be certain to provide old blankets, rugs, or carpet for your pet to lay on. A cold,

Malware is often hidden in apps that trick you into downloading them or in fake websites that lure you in with interesting pictures or stories.Be a Smart Network User. Don’t access personal or financial information over unse-cured public WiFi networks such as the free WiFi in coffee shops, bookstores, hotels, and schools, as this data can be easily ‘sniffed’ (a.k.a viewed) by others. Instead, consider using your smartphone’s more secure cellular signal to surf the Web, and if you have other devices, ‘tether’ them to your phone instead of using an open and unsecure WiFi.Be on Guard for Phishing. Don’t open email attachments from untrusted sources. You may be expecting emails from group members or teachers, but use caution when opening any attachments. If you are not expecting an email or it just doesn’t look right, don’t open it. It could be a phishing attempt. Here’s to a safe school year for Jefferson County!
