            <title>Ten Safety Tips for Halloween</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Kids love trick-or-treating and Halloween is a fun annual event that kids look forward to. There are potential dangers in the dark that both parents and kids need to be aware of. With that in mind here are some tips that can make for a safer and happier Halloween for your kids:




Trick or treat in groups - by using the buddy system where kids go with parents, siblings or friends. If parents will not be going with the group make sure that the kids know the area well that they will be trick or treating in.


Don't ever go into a stranger's home - If someone invited you in to see their decorations, get candy or whatever - say no thank you and leave. Only take candy from those homes that give it out at the door.


Eat a healty meal prior to trick-or-treating - Eating something healty prior to going out will curtail hunger and kids will not be as likely to snack on their treats while out. 


Set a return time - If parents will not be going with the group make sure to set a curfew for when they need to be home or when they should check in via a phone call. 


Only cross streets at intersections - Ensure that your children know how to safely cross streets. It is likely to be dark and more difficult for cars to see the kids.


Check the candy first - Check candy to make sure that it has not been opened or looks like it could have been tampered with in any way. Also for smaller kids make sure that it is not something they could choke on.


Check for sex offenders in the area - Visit the local police website and check for any sex offenders in the area your kids will be trick or treating. Yeah it may seem excessively cautious but stay away of those homes or neighborhoods.


Carry a light and wear reflective clothing - It gets dark and there will be more cars out than on a normal night, so make sure the kids are clearly visible. It is a good idea to put reflective tape on bags and clothing.


Costumes should fit - The kids will be running from house to house so their costumes should allow for this comforably. Capes should not be too long as to pose a tripping hazzard and wear running shoes. Make sure that the mask does not obstruct any of the childs vision.


Costume material should be flame resistant - There are usually candles and open flames at homes on Halloween so make sure to use costumes with materials that are flame resistant to avoid any possibility of burns.

            <title>Fly’n B Park</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 






The public is invited to attend the dedication of the communitys newest park, Flyn B Park, Thursday, Aug. 11 from 3:30 until 5:30 p.m. The park is located at 2910 W. Plaza Dr., in the northwestern part of Highlands Ranch near the intersection of Plaza Dr. and Santa Fe Dr. along the 65-mile-long High Line Canal Trail.


Guests can explore the new park and learn about its rich history. Metro District staff will be available to talk about fishing, aircraft, apples, the history of the root cellar, and other Metro District programs and events. Guests can also stop by and pet an alpaca.


The park site was once home to a series of farmers and ranchers drawn to the site due to its location along the High Line Canal. The name Flyn B Park stems from its history. The site is the former home of Johnny Bowen and his Flyn B Ranch, also known as the best little cattle ranch in Colorado. When Bowen called the property home, he would take off and land his airplane on a dirt runway at the property as recently as 15 years ago.


The Metro District is preserving 20 acres of the original site as parks and natural open space areas. It is a passive park for individual and group use such as fishing, picnics, social gatherings, and experiential play and activities. The park features a picnic shelter that accommodates up to 60 people, a barbecue grill, restrooms and a fishing pond.


An amenity in this park is the Plews House, a farmhouse built in the early 1900s. A structural assessment of the house is currently being performed to determine options for its use. The house is currently closed to park visitors.


For more information or to make a park reservation at Flyn B Park, please call the Metro Districts Parks, Recreation and Open Space Service Center at 303-791-2710.


Founded in 1981 as the local government in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, the Metro District provides a variety of municipal services to this planned community of 93,000 people.

            <title>Tips to Show Your Denver Home in Cold Weather</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
We just got hit with our first snow of winter season here in Denver. Not big by any means and about 2 weeks later than the norm. Seeing the snow means it is time to start thinking of how to properly present homes in the cold weather.

&nbsp;



Always keep a path to the door clear of snow and ice.

It is darker so turn on all the lights and turn off the TV.

Make a warm and inviting atmosphere on a cold day by turning on the heat&hellip; Who wouldnt want to stay warm on a cold day?

Create a calming mood with vases of flowers, a breakfast tray on the master bed, the dining room table set with candles, etc&hellip;

Turn on some soft music but do not use a radio station&hellip;

Dont over scent and if you use them the fresh clean versions are best. If you want that fresh baked cookie smell you better have a plate of fresh baked cookies sitting there.

Make it visually pleasing to your &ldquo;guests&rdquo;  keep it clean and use photos of summer gardens or bright sunshiny days.

Serve the buyers winter foods that they need to hold which will keep them in the home longer to notice the nice features of the home. Soups or hot apple cider...

Place out printed cards which hi-light the home features, just dont over-do it.

Use technology with motion sensor lamps near the entry (for security), or timers. Turn off or down any noisemakers such as answering machines, dryers, etc&hellip;

            <title>The Meadows of Castle Rock</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Meadows was designed to allow its residents to appreciate the natural beauty and splendor of Colorado. The development was carefully planned and built to ensure that while every comfort would be provided, nature would be preserved. From their new homes, Meadows residents can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding open spaces and access to some of the most beautiful recreational spaces in the state. 

Despite the proximity of the development to this beautiful wilderness, the Meadows is also within easy reach of the friendly community of Castle Rock. Castle Rock is an attractive town, with many historic brick buildings dating back to the Old West. There are some excellent restaurants and shops in the town, as well as a weekly farmer's market on Saturdays. The community enjoys a number of interesting events throughout the year, including the Artfest in the autumn and the Douglas County Fair and rodeo during the summer. There is also a local recreation center and a senior center. 

The Meadows community lies within Douglas County, which is known for having one of the best school systems in the state. The Meadows is also within easy commuting distance of the Denver Tech Center. The wider area features a number of golf courses, including the high altitude courses at Red Hawk Ridge and The Ridge. The Rocky Mountains are also nearby, offering opportunities for outdoor activities and skiing. 

The Meadows of Castle Rock is a master planned community, which means that it was designed to provide residents with everything that they would need to enjoy a good life. It is a beautiful neighborhood, with plenty of green and open space, including parks and an excellent trails system, which is connected to the extensive Plum Creek trails system. The trails system also helps to bring the community together, providing routes along which children cycle to school and neighbors go to visit one another. There are endless routes to run, walk or cycle. The Native Legend Open Space is one of the most interesting areas in which to walk. Scattered with displays created by Denver's Nature and Science museum, the trail provides an insight into the nature and history of the area. 

The neighborhood also features sporting facilities including ball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts and a swimming pool. This makes the Meadows ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy the active lifestyle for which Colorado is famous. 

The Meadows community is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Many community events and activities provide opportunities for the residents to meet one another and have fun. Many of these activities take place in The Grange Cultural Arts Center, which offers recreational facilities and events. The community swimming pool is at the center, but there are also other reasons to visit it. A number of educational programs and clubs use the center, for example, so it is the perfect place to learn a new skill or language. 

The Meadows has been created with sustainability and environmental protection in mind. It is this concern for nature that has allowed the neighborhood to be developed without spoiling the area's spectacular natural beauty.

            <title>The Molly Brown House Museum, Denver</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Molly Brown House Museum, 1340 Pennsylvania Street, Denver, was once the home of the Unsinkable Molly Brown. Margaret Brown was an American philanthropist and socialite. She gained her nickname after surviving the sinking of the Titanic. She was one of the survivors in lifeboat 6, and it was she who convinced the others in the lifeboat that they must return to look for more survivors. Unfortunately, by the time she and the other passengers were able to convince the sailors on board to return, there were no survivors to be found. 

Margaret Brown led an interesting life, which visitors to the museum can learn about from the informative exhibits that are presented in it. The museum also presents exhibits about the history of Denver. Her former home is now a museum dedicated to her life and to Victorian Denver. The house is also known by the name the House of Lions. 

Both Margaret and her husband, J.J. Brown were the children of Irish immigrants to America. Margaret had intended to find a rich man to marry so that she could provide for her family, but she fell in love with J.J. instead. Although she married for love, Margaret Brown did in fact gain the wealth and comfort she had hoped for. A self made, enterprising man, J.J. Brown became rich due to his work in engineering. 

Margaret adapted to her new role as a wealthy lady, becoming a philanthropist and immersing herself in the arts. She became a fluent speaker of Russian, French and German. She even ran for the Senate in 1909 and 1914. Margaret was an activist in the women's rights movement, and she also helped in soup kitchens that served the families of miners. She was instrumental in the establishment of the first juvenile court in the United States, and helping Denver's poorest children. During the First World War, Margaret Brown helped the American Committee for Devastated France in the rebuilding of France and the care of wounded soldiers. She was awarded the Legion of Honour. 

The house itself is an interesting example of Denver architecture. It was built in the 1880s to the design of the architect, William A Lang. Lang incorporated a number of different styles into the building. Of particular note is the use of the Queen Anne style. The original owners of the property were Mary and Isaac Large. They were forced to sell their home after experiencing severe financial losses. The house was purchased by James Joseph Brown in 1894. In 1898, as J.J.Brown's health deteriorated, he transferred ownership of the property to his wife, Margaret Brown. In 1909, Margaret separated from her husband. It was a cordial separation, and the couple remained friendly for the rest of their lives. 

Since Margaret and her family spent much of their time traveling, the house was often rented out. During 1902, for example, it was used as the governor's mansion while the usual home of Colorado's Governor was being remodeled. Later, during the Great Depression, Margaret Brown turned her home into a boarding house, which was run for her by her housekeeper. 

Margaret Brown died in 1932, and the house was sold. The new owners found it is disrepair, and had it remodeled. By 1970, the house was in danger of being demolished. In order to save it, a group of Denver citizens formed an organization, Historic Denver Inc, in order to raise the funds required to restore the property. The restoration work proceeded extremely carefully in order to create an accurate reconstruction of the house. Photographs from 1910, analysis of paint chips and architectural research were used to determine how best to restore the property. 

The house can be visited to view the exhibits and see the restoration work. Exhibitions cover such topics as the sinking of the Titanic, the philanthropy of Margaret Brown and the history of Denver. Tours of the museum are conducted daily and there are also some interesting programs for both children and adults. These programs can provide classroom resources for schools, but they also conduct interesting educational activities on the property itself.

            <title>The Justina Ford House and The Black American West Museum</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Justina Ford was the first African American woman to become a licensed doctor in Colorado. Justina Ford grew up in Knoxville in Illinois. As a child, she had assisted her mother, whose work nursing other slaves had supported her family. This experience led her to follow a career in medicine, with the support and financial help of her family. 

Justina Ford was a pioneering physician who, in 1899, graduated from Hering Medical College. She first practiced in Alabama, but moved to Denver seeking an environment in which she, as an African-American, would have better opportunities to work as a doctor. The rapid westwards expansion meant that Colorado offered opportunities for all sorts of people. 

However, when she applied for a license to practice in Colorado, she was told by the clerk that it seemed dishonest to take her money for the license because there were already two strikes against her. Doctor Ford often spoke of these twin barriers to her career, saying that she fought like a tiger to work as a doctor despite being a woman and being colored. She worked in Denver for half a century. She was the only black woman to work as a doctor in Colorado until 1950, two years before she died. 

Dr. Ford focused on obstetrics and gynecology and on pediatric medicine. She is believed to have helped to deliver 7000 babies of all races in the course of her career. Dr. Ford, like many African-American doctors at this time, had to struggle against the medical establishment in order to work. She was denied hospital privileges and therefore had to make house calls instead. She was also denied membership of a number of medical societies. 

Dr. Ford worked with people of all races and backgrounds. She learned several different languages in order to communicate with her patients. She was known for her generosity in not pursuing payment from patients who could not afford it, and in bringing gifts of coal and food to her poorest patients. After her death, Dr. Ford was recognized as a medical pioneer by the Colorado Medical Society, which was one of the societies that had once denied her membership. 

Dr. Ford's office and home, which was originally located on Arapaho Street, was relocated in 1984 to California Street in order to preserve it. A statue dedicated to the memory of Justina Ford stands outside the house, which is now the Black American West Museum. 

The house itself is a flat roofed, two story brick building. It features some interesting architectural details, such as the end brackets and the cornicing. Inside the museum, there are a number of interesting and informative exhibits featuring the stories of the Black American West. Some of the most popular exhibits are about the Black cowboys, but there are also exhibits about people who came to the west to work in all types of professions, from miners to ranchers to teachers. Dr. Ford is not forgotten, and the museum also celebrates her career. 

Popular parts of the museum include the homestead exhibit showing how pioneers lived in the town of Dearfield, the Cowboy exhibit featuring saddles and spurs, and the military exhibit focusing on the Buffalo Soldiers.

            <title>Highlands Ranch Dog Parks</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Highlands Ranch, like many communities in the Denver area, enjoys an excellent parks system which presents its residents with endless opportunities for sport and recreations. For dog owners, however, one of the most important benefits of living in or near Highlands Ranch is access to the local dog parks. 

There are four dog parks which are available in the Highlands Ranch area, each of which offers an attractive space in which to exercise your dog. Dogs can also be walked in other parts of the neighborhood, but these are the spaces that have been set aside so that you can safely let your dog run around without a leash. Each of the dog parks is next to a larger park, which you may be able to walk your dog in, as long as you keep it on a leash. The dog parks have become popular spots for dog owners to meet and socialize, with large numbers of regular users visiting the same park, often daily. 

Hound Hill is the dog park at Highland Heritage Park. This park is located just to the south of the intersection between Quebec, Lincoln and University. The Post Office is just to the north of the intersection. The dog park is near the Heritage Park ball fields. The Highland Heritage Park provides parking. Hound Hill is a large dog park of almost three acres, providing plenty of room for your dog. This is often one of the busiest dog parks. 

Digger's is the dog exercise area at Dad Clark Park. Digger's dog park is on Asterbrook Circle, to the west of Summit View and Fairview Parkways. The park is near Heritage Elementary School. Parking is available at Dad Clark Park. 

Fido's Field is another dog park, located at Foothills Park. It is situated on Riddlewood Drive, which can be accessed from Lucent Boulevard by turning southwards on Timbervale Trail. The park is also accessible from Winterthur Way. By taking this route, it is possible to park in the Foothills Park lot, next to the swimming pool. The park is near Saddle Ranch Elementary School. 

Rover's Run is a popular dog park at Redstone Park. The dog exercise area lies to the east of the main park. It is near to the intersection between Foothills Canyon Boulevard and Town Center Drive. Rover's Run is another large dog park, providing pets and pet owners with three acres of space. It is the perfect place to bring active dogs who like to run around a lot, and it is not uncommon to see greyhounds hurtling around the park. It can get very dusty and dry in this park, so it is particularly important to bring your own water when the irrigation system is not working. The park has some picnic tables for the owners, as well as a lot of open space for the dogs. 

All of these dog parks in Highlands Ranch are open between 7 am and sunset, throughout the year. 

In addition to providing open space in which your pet can be exercised, water is available at each of the dog park sites, during the irrigation season. When water is not available, during the late fall and the winter, you should consider bringing your own water. 

Certain rules apply to the use of the park. As a responsible dog owner, you will be expected to carry a leash for your dog. You must put your dog on the leash on your way to the dog park and as you leave the dog off-leash area. If you are letting your dog off its leash in the dog park, you must be able to control it through voice commands alone. 

You will need to supervise your dog while it is in the park, and you must pick up after it. Children must be accompanied by an adult. If you are bringing your dog to the park it must have received its vaccinations. You should not bring your dog to the off-leash park if it may be aggressive, or if it is in season. A copy of the rules are posted at each site.

            <title>Green Oaks: Located in Colorado's Greenwood Village</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Green Oaks is one of the most desired neighborhoods in the Greenwood Village. The neighborhood features beautiful real estate with huge yards that stay beautifully manicured, community events, provides residents with neighborly referrals, has a swim team, a spacious pool and tennis courts, plus mothers are always helping each other out and exchanging mouth watering recipes that can be served to their families. The homes found here are high end homes and there are also many executive homes that can be found which are extremely prestigious and just spectacular. 

This is a neighborhood that truly embodies the statements of &quot;love thy neighbor&quot; and &quot;it takes a village to raise a child.&quot; The swim team brings all the neighborhood families together as one. Children have fun cheering each other on and enjoying a welcome relief from the heat in the cool pools that Green Oaks furnishes. Parents enjoy cheering their children on and others children on as they compete for awards all the while creating treasured childhood memories. Green Oaks also provides residents with the High Line Canal Trail that runs throughout the neighborhood. This trail is a perfect place to do bike riding, hiking, or running activities. The trail's atmosphere is serene and provides proof of just how beautiful Mother Nature truly is. People can work out on this trail and enjoy the fresh air and scenery that if offers forgetting about all the troubles or worries they may have for that moment. 

Too often is it common to see neighborhoods that are not a close community. Neighbors barely speak to each other and do not take the time to get to know one another at all. At Green Oaks this kind of behavior will not be found. The community takes pride in their appearance and enjoys feeling like a family. Neighbors look out for one another and are always there to help those who need it whether it be with getting dinner on the table, babysitting, or home projects.

The Green Oaks neighborhood is very popular with individuals that have jobs in the Denver Tech Center. The neighborhood is in short distance from this Center as well as from other prominent businesses. Just one more thing that makes life a little bit easier for the working class is having their homes and work places in close proximity of each other. After being subject to a long and stressful day, full of meetings and paperwork that last thing someone wants to do is to endure being stuck in a car for hours before finally making it home. By living in Green Oaks this is avoided the ride home is short and individuals find it easier to make it home in time for dinner. Another good quality of this neighborhood being so close to their jobs is that they can sleep in a little later than they would be able to anywhere else. Sometimes those extra few minutes of sleep makes all the difference.

Overall Green Oaks is the perfect neighborhood for businessmen and families. Having a close and convenient proximity to stores and restaurants and with the close knit community that is found here residents will never leave.
