Ruby Hill Park Amphitheater moving ahead

hanks to the generosity of the Denver community, Levitt Pavilion Denver has received its lead capital gifts, or the funds to move ahead with final design plans and to break ground on amphitheater construction in 2015. Initial renderings for the amphitheater were recently released, with final designs slated for March 2015. In partnership with the national Levitt Pavilions and the City and County of Denver, the nonprofit has reached 65 percent of its $4 million capital fundraising campaign, thanks to a $2 million Better Denver bond appropriation from City and County of Denver and the following donations: $400,000 from the Levitt Foundation, $150,000 from the Gates Family Foundation, $10,000 from Greenway Foundation and the remainder from Denver’s community members and philanthropists. Pending the success of the continuing fundraising campaign and the acquisition of the remaining $1,400,000 in needed funds that will go toward the amphitheater building, the new outdoor music venue will join the list of scenic and acoustic greats such as the Red Rocks and Denver Botanic Gardens amphitheaters. Construction for the seventh Levitt Pavilion in the country is slated to begin in 2015 and is part of the City of Denver’s Ruby Hill Park master plan.

O’Malley as Executive Director of the Department of Safety (formerly Manager of Safety) for the City and County of Denver, effective Jan. 1, 2014. The Executive Director of Safety provides civilian oversight of the police, fire and sheriff’s departments.   “This vital role, one of the most important in my cabinet, requires a very stable and thoughtful individual, someone with the experience and political acumen to maintain the public’s confidence in Denver’s safety agencies,” Hancock said. “Stephanie brings those attributes as well as a high level of integrity, a commitment to justice, and a well-earned level of respect from the legal and public-safety communities.” As Deputy Chief of Staff to Hancock, O’Malley engaged in a host of matters of public concern

on his behalf, including direct engagement with Denver’s police, fire, and sheriff’s departments, as well as with the Office of the Independent Monitor; collective bargaining; M/WBE considerations; arts and culture; homelessness; business operations; and community engagement. “I am honored to serve as the Executive Director of the Department of Safety. I understand the importance of this position and the monumental responsibility that it brings,” O’Malley said. “I stand committed to advancing the well-being of the department as a whole and to being the anchor to each facet of this branch of government that is so critical to the Denver community and its citizens. I am humbled by Mayor Hancock’s confidence in me to lead the Department of Safety.” Interim Safety Manager Ashley Kilroy will continue to serve in this capacity until Jan. 1. At that time,

Stephanie Y. O’Malley

Denver thanks Friednash for service

Mayor Michael B. Hancock appointed Scott Martinez as City Attorney for the City and County of Denver, a key position responsible for advising and representing the city on a broad range of legal and policy matters. The mayor also announced the departure of Doug Friednash, Denver’s City Attorney since 2011. “During his tenure as Deputy City Attorney, Scott has proven his ability to provide the highest quality of counsel and representation to our city,” Mayor Hancock said. “I am thrilled to be able to promote from within our strong team someone with the legal acumen and passion for community that Scott brings. “Doug has been a dedicated and valuable contributor to my administration from the earliest days. While he will be missed, I thank him for exhibiting the kind of leadership and counsel that will carry this office forward.” Martinez will provide legal representation to all city officials, agencies, departments, boards and commissions, as well as 200 attorneys and staff. “I am committed to bring cutting-edge solutions to our evolving legal landscape and honored to assume such an important role,” Martinez said. “It’s a dream come true to serve as Mayor Hancock’s counsel, and I will defend the city and its people with all that I have.” As Deputy City Attorney, Martinez managed the daily operations of one of the largest public law offices in the West. Using his

Scott Martinez

knowledge of government regulatory systems to find innovative approaches to problem-solving, he forged strategic partnerships to leverage opportunities for the city and its people and worked to create a culture of inclusivity and value among City Attorney employees. “Scott brings an innovative and energetic approach to the City Attorney’s Office that will greatly benefit the city and all its residents,” Mayor Hancock said. “This transition will be seamless because of Scott’s abilities and our efforts to grow and promote the amazing talent in this administration.” The mayor credits Friednash, who will join Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck as a shareholder in the firm’s nationally renowned Government Relations Group, for helping Scott prepare for this assignment.

“It has been a great honor to work for Mayor Hancock and his administration for the past two and a half years, the best job I’ve ever had,” Friednash said. “Serving in such an important role has allowed me to help shape the future of the city I call home. I look forward to building on that commitment with the new challenges that lie ahead.” Martinez previously practiced at Holland & Hart LLP in its Government Investigations & White Collar Defense practice group, representing companies under investigation by the Department of Justice, investigatory committees of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House, and by state and local government agencies. Martinez is active as a Member of the Board of the Colorado Bar Association, the Board of Directors of the Colorado Hispanic Bar Association, and the Board of Advisors to the Byron White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law at the University of Colorado. Martinez is also active in the community, serving as an appointee to the Municipal Victim Assistance & Law Enforcement Board, on the Steering Committee for City Summit and as Chair of the Bell Policy Center. He previously served as a gubernatorial appointee to the Colorado Election Reform Commission and the Colorado Collection Agency Board. Martinez grew up in Lakewood. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder and his law degree from the University of San Diego, School of Law. Martinez and his wife, Julie, have two young sons.

SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS

Psychic Michelle Houchens is a medium with a message By Peter Jones Michelle Houchens was not always a happy medium. “When I was about 5, I could see, feel and hear a lot of people’s feelings. I didn’t like it,” she said. “I grew up as a good Methodist girl. Nobody I knew had these abilities. My dad said, ‘I don’t even know what a psychic medium is.’” For years, Houchens kept quiet about it, pursuing a career in traditional medicine. But even as she labored as a nurse in an intensivecare unit in inner-city Detroit, she lived a sort of secret life as an undercover psychic. “I would know things,” Houchens explained. “I would have people look at me and say, ‘You’re very psychic.’ I’d say, ‘Shh!’” Houchens spent decades in a kind of “denial,” working health care and sales jobs while only covertly using her psychic abilities. She says she did not fully “come out” as a psychic – in her words – until the age of 47. “One day, I had an awakening. I was told, ‘You’re not doing your life’s purpose,’” When Houchens hung out her psychic shingle, her quick success was not exactly predictable. Today – just five years later – the “Mile High Psychic Medium” has become a radio and television personality with more than 1,000 clients in a worldwide practice. Clients ranging from CEOs to housewives have flocked to Houchens, whose specialties, include hypnotherapy, past-life regression counseling, “business visionary” consultation and Neurolinguistic Programming, among an assortment of other disciplines Houchens pulls from her extrasensory arsenal. “My goal is to offer all of my services, no matter what you walk in for,” she said. “Most of the people are looking for solutions, either from a disease or something going on in their life. It could be very important to them and have a lot to do with their journey or destiny on the earth. We like to say, ‘here’s my health, here’s my mind and here’s my life.’ To me, it’s all one.” Not surprisingly, a session with Houchens can be wide-ranging.

The psychic has also become known for her perceived ability to communicate with her clients’ dead loved ones. “Reconciliation is why I do this,” she said. Houchens has even traveled with a television news crew to the “haunted” Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, and in 2012 acted as an intermediary for Barry Fey when the concert promoter went to Red Rocks to reconnect with Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin just months before Fey’s own death earlier this year. “Barry was very skeptical at first, but I said things I couldn’t know,” Houchens said. “I still talk to Barry. He’s a friend.” Although Houchens’s main office is in central Denver, she keeps limited office hours at Whole Health Center in Lone Tree. She is also available by telephone, though in-person meetings can be scheduled at no extra charge. Unlike many businesswomen, Houchens is quick to concede that her skills – the bread and butter of her successful business – are not unique. “I’m a believer that we all have these intuitive skills,” she said. Even so, the psychic is not worried about losing business to a new generation of clients who may take a do-it-yourself approach to intuitive services. “It’d be alright,” she said with a laugh. “I’d find something else to do.”

During a recent meeting with this reporter, the psychic offered a variety of perceptions, each one spoken under her breath, before “translated” for the client in conversation. “Your life’s purpose is to understand people by examining them,” she said. “When you interview a person, they learn about themselves. More times than one,

people say, ‘I’ve never said that to anybody.’ … There’s something about Ireland that’s very magical to you. … You steer your course. Some people float down the river.” As it happens, this reporter – who does take pride in often asking offbeat questions – has been

plotting a trip to Ireland. Some of Houchens’s favorite clients have been children. “When I tell kids, this is who I hear you are, they always start to glow: ‘Somebody knows me. Somebody sees me. Somebody recognizes me,” she said.

Englewood keeps ban on pot businesses Voters opposed ban in last election By Peter Jones Englewood City Council has reached consensus that the city should keep its ban on recreationalmarijuana businesses in place, at least for the time being. The move comes in spite of a recent nonbinding vote of the people that rejected the prohibition. The council’s 5-2 vote on Dec. 2 was in contrast to Question 2B, which the council placed on the ballot last month to gage voter opinion prior to taking further action on the matter. Voters rejected the ban by nearly 4 percentage points. At-large Councilman Steve Yates, who voted with the majority of council in keeping the ban, says the action does not mean the moratorium will be permanent. He sees the ban as the first step toward eventually honoring the will of voters. “We need more information and we need to start setting the groundwork,” he said. “Let’s start working on the things that need to happen in order to make it an easy transition that is safe for the community and for the businesses themselves.” Such issues as taxation, regulations, zoning, density and potential crime will have to be carefully considered before Englewood allows recreational stores and production facilities, Yates said,

noting the confusion that surrounded the medical-marijuana facilities during the last decade. “The first three years, there was a lot of changing of policy, a lot of backtracking from the state and various organizations. This is really a fledgling industry,” said Yates, whose election campaign this year was centered on respecting the will of Englewood residents. Joining Yates in maintaining the ban were Councilmembers Linda Olson, Rick Gillit, Jill Wilson and Bob McCaslin, who questioned whether a 4-percentage point difference in the public vote was significant. Opposing the ban were Mayor Randy Penn and Councilman Joe Jefferson, who said the council should respect the will of the people either way. “I think the voter intent is clear,” Jefferson said. “I’m not a huge advocate of recreational-

marijuana use, but I am a huge advocate of following through on the will of the people. I have extreme faith in the people’s ability to make decisions for themselves. I don’t think the intention of the voters is to have one of these on every corner, so I would be supportive of somewhat restrictive zoning.” As for Yates’s suggestion that the city needs more time before lifting its ban, Jefferson only buys that argument to an extent. “You do need to have some rules in place,” he said, “but I think we’ve got pretty good guidelines already on how we handled medical, both from a licensing and zoning perspective. We probably wouldn’t be ready for Jan. 1, but I think we could be ready in the first quarter of next year. I’m not sure what the onus would be to bring this forward again.” Yates said he would work to make sure the council addresses the issue of recreational-marijuana businesses at a later date. “I don’t think there’s any way of stopping that wave. I think the people have made it very clear what they want,” Yates said. “I just want to make sure it goes smoothly.” Some on the council have also suggested that Question 2B was poorly worded and may have confused some who voted no, though the council, itself, had approved the wording. The city boasts several medical-marijuana dispensaries.

Paws to Give to help homeless pets this holiday season While you’re making your holiday gift list, don’t forget about the furry, four-legged homeless friends in need of a little extra help this holiday season. The Dumb Friends League is holding its annual Paws to Give fund drive now through Jan. 5, 2014, to help the more than 20,000 homeless pets and horses in its care each year. Each holiday season, patrons are invited to our three facilities—the Quebec Street shelter in Denver, the Buddy Center in Castle Rock, and the Harmony Equine Center in Franktown—to fill out a “paw” decoration with a donation amount and a message, which then is displayed on our walls. Children and adults alike often write something in honor or memory of a special pet or horse. This is a great time for patrons to visit the shelters with their families, view the animals in our care, and teach and share the spirit of giving. “It’s also way to help our animals if adopting isn’t an option,” said Bob Rohde, Dumb Friends League president and CEO. “Any amount you can give—whether it’s $10, $20, $30 or more—is very much appreciated and can make a big difference for the pets and peo-

ple in our community.” This year’s goal of $100,000 will help the Dumb Friends League care for thousands of homeless cats, dogs, small pets and horses. Donations can be made at our facilities, online at ddfl.org/give or by mailing a check to Dumb Friends League Paws to Give, 2080 S. Quebec St., Denver, CO 80231. The private, nonprofit organization spends an average of $25,121 a day on companion animal services, including $7,965 daily on veterinary care in its shelters and two mobile clinics. Last year, 16,885 pets and horses were adopted to new homes, returned to their owners or transferred to partner facilities. In addition to adopting out homeless animals, the Dumb Friends League offers many other services, including rehabilitation and adoption for formerly abused and neglected horses, humane education, behavior training for pets, animal cruelty investigations and spay/ neuter surgeries at reduced fees, subsidized by donors, for cats and dogs in underserved areas. For more information about the Paws to Give, and to find out how you can help, visit www.ddfl.org/give or call 720241-7123.

Rotary and Kohl’s join forces to bring Christmas to children The Centennial, DTC and Littleton Sunrise Rotary clubs are collaborating to sponsor a record number of children in financial need for the fifth annual “Santa Clothes” shopping spree. Rotarians have dedicated $100 per child and worked with local organizations connected to atrisk or economically challenged children ages 5–17. Hampden Mortuary is donating limousine transportation. The Kohl’s Cares “Associates in Action” program donates additional funding and volunteers. Rotarians, along with Kohl’s employees and volunteers, are teamed up with each child to help these kids shop for what is sometimes a “first time ever” experience, explained Diane Zing, chair of the Santa Clothes project form the Centennial Rotary Club. “Most of these children have never been given new clothing. Some have never been inside a department store,” she said. “They have the store to themselves

to find just the right clothes, shoes, socks, coats or just something fun. The great values and selection provided by Kohl’s allows these kids an opportunity to pick what they truly want, not what they are told to get.” The goal is to grow the project and involve many more Rotary clubs and Kohl’s stores in the future, said Ken Hope, president of Centennial Rotary. “It’s one of the most rewarding projects we do and fits perfectly in the Service Above Self motto that is the foundation of Rotary,” he said.

OPINION

– DENVER –

Best education for all Colorado students KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

The legislative committees are at work preparing for the opening session of the legislature in early January. The Joint Budget Committee has the hardest job of wrapping state budgets together

to take care of needs and then “wants.” Business in Colorado has improved so there are more tax dollars available in next year’s budget from property and sales taxes, which is good news. I hope the legislature can find the funding to make it possible for all kindergarten-aged children to be able to attend a full day of school, not just the rich kids whose parents have the resources to pay the $119 a month for the extra schooling. Left behind are predominately minority children and singlefamily kids who can’t attend the full day of classes leaving them almost 590 hours behind the other kids that have the purchased privilege of attending a full kin-

dergarten day. This is just unfair in a nation and society that prides itself on free public education for all. We need to find the existing funds to right this wrong and do it in this upcoming legislative year; this is too grievance an educational gap to be allowed to continue. Lastly, the 13 community colleges located around the state would like to offer some four-year degrees in some non-competitive areas that some of the major colleges and universities don’t offer. Students can attend school close to home and students in Rangely, for example, could obtain a four-year degree in advanced dental hygiene, the same in La Junta where students could receive a four-year bachelor de-

gree in some specified areas, maybe agriculture. Last year this proposal was put forward during the session and was opposed by the major fouryear institutions, mainly University of Colorado and Colorado State University. This year it stands a good chance to pass and there is less opposition from the major schools. In fact they may decide to pitch in and assist in this program offering curriculum and further advanced master’s degrees in these programs. We urge our legislators to work with the community college system and the major schools to make this concept become reality for the good of Colorado’s “other” students.

Sheridan Public Library construction underway White Construction Group, a Colorado-based commercial general construction firm recently began construction of the new Sheridan Public Library at 3425 W. Oxford Ave. in Sheridan. Teaming with Humphries Poli Architects for the fourth time this year, White Construction Group is excited to see this design-build project take shape and provide the Arapahoe Library District and Sheridan Community 10,000 square feet of new library space. Included will be a large community room, three private study areas, teen area, children’s area and staff workroom. Large windows and a cozy fireplace will provide users a comfortable atmosphere to study, work and explore. This is the first new library for Sheridan since 1972 and will be a key partner for the City of Sheridan’s sustainability efforts. With every project White Construction Group takes on, they not only consider the environmental impact, but how the facility will provide local businesses, community resilience, self-reliance and a culture of sharing. The new technology and added space will allow public, private and municipal organizations to facilitate efforts that will attract new visitors and service the needs of the Sheridan community.

Littleton Hospital and Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children work together

Littleton Adventist Hospital has announced that it has achieved formal designation as a Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children clinical affiliate for pediatric services. This partnership and clinical designation brings together two healthcare leaders that share a commitment to deliver seamless high-value care to the tiniest of patients. RMHC-affiliated physicians are board-certified in their specialties. They have well-established relationships with Littleton Hospital, providing care to patients for more than 15 years. The hospital has a long history of achieving high-quality standards and successfully met the requirements

needed for clinical designation. These evidence-based national standards, including standards developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, are used to monitor clinical quality measures, patient satisfaction, physician participation, protocols, procedures and clinical training. “We have a legacy of excellence in providing emergent and pediatric care close to home. Achieving this clinical designation allows kids to receive excellent care here in the community, without being far away from family and friends,” said Brett Spenst, president of Littleton Hospital. The affiliation places a priority on treating kids close to home. A

child may be transferred to RMHC when a higher level of care is clinically necessary, and that child will return to LAH for continued care as appropriate. “We’re delighted to see this important milestone in our expanding collaboration with Centura Health for high-quality pediatric care in communities they serve. Both of our organizations place a high value on expanding access to pediatric care while minimizing cost, as we enhance services for children by optimizing existing infrastructure and clinical resources,” said Mimi Roberson, president of Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children.

Oudenhoven appointed president of Community College of Aurora Dr. Betsy Oudenhoven, currently serving as interim president of Community College of Aurora, has been appointed permanent president of CCA by Dr. Nancy McCallin, president of the Colorado Community College System. “Dr. Oudenhoven will assume the duties of permanent president immediately. Her work in and knowledge of the college and the community make me confident she will provide solid leadership for the college as we move forward. In both in her positions as vice-president of student affairs at CCA and as the college interim president, she has demonstrated she has the skills and commitment to take on this role,” said McCallin. “Please join me in congratulating Dr. Oudenhoven and wishing her well in her new position.” “I am honored to be appointed the next president of the Community College of Aurora. I want to thank all of the individuals who have stepped up and worked hard

Dr. Betsy Oudenhoven

during this transition to make sure that we have continued to serve our students to the best of our ability,” said Oudenhoven. “The opportunity to serve as the interim president of CCA over these past five months has affirmed my faith in this institution and my pride in our wonderful faculty and staff, our inspiring students, and our

generous and committed Foundation board members and community partners. CCA has a bright future and I am incredibly lucky to be a part of it.” Prior to coming to CCA, she was the vice president of student development at Joliet Junior College in Joliet, Ill., the nation’s first public community college. She has more than 30 years of experience in higher education and has worked at four-year public state universities in Wisconsin, Minnesota and New York, a four-year private university in Illinois, and four different community colleges. Prior to becoming a vice president, Oudenhoven was the dean of counseling at the College of Lake County in Grayslake, Ill. Oudenhoven received her Ph.D. in higher education from Loyola University Chicago, her master’s degree in counseling from the University of ColoradoBoulder, and her bachelor’s in psychology from St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y.

Denver Zoo Lights sparkle with holiday fun  23rd annual event will showcase many activities for everyone

More than 150 animated animal sculptures will swing through trees, jump across lawns, hide in bushes and appear in places that are least expected at this year’s Zoo Lights celebration.

ight up your holiday with a wild 23rd annual Zoo Lights celebration at Denver Zoo. Presented by Your Neighborhood Toyota Stores, the holiday tradition will run nightly, now through Jan. 5, 2014, from 5:30-9 p.m. Zoo Lights is the largest lighting event in the Rocky Mountain Region and the largest annual event hosted by Denver Zoo. It takes two contracted staff members of the Denver Zoo staff three months to set up the displays and almost the same amount of time and manpower to dismantle the 40 acres of lights. More than 150 animated animal sculptures will swing through trees, jump across lawns, hide in bushes and appear in places that are least expected at this year’s Zoo Lights celebration. Zoo Lights features more than 40 acres of brilliantly illuminated lights and give children the chance to visit Santa Claus. This year’s event also promises a time like no other in Colorado. Festivities will include live animal demonstrations, carolers, instrumental groups, ice carvers, delicious holiday treats at warming stations throughout the zoo and the ever-popular Zoo Year’s Eve party.

Zoo Lights Special Events

• We bring the zoo to you- live in studio, through Dec. 23: Denver Zoo can come live in studio with a wild animal friend to promote the many activities surrounding zoo lights. These animals range from a tamandua to an owl, and represent species that may be seen during special animal encounters occurring throughout the zoo during Zoo Lights. Animal experts can talk about the animal or the event. • Santa visits with guests, through Dec. 23: Naughty and nice children alike can bring their Christmas wish lists right to Santa’s mailbox at the North Pole and visit with the big guy himself. • Ice carvers, through Dec. 23: Denver Zoo has worked with the same ice carver for years and he

This year’s new irresistible treat is red velvet funnel cake. We’ll also have fried Snicker bars, and holiday drinks and spirits (even Starbucks coffee.) The zoo can come live in studio to offer a sampling of these tasty treats. • Bunk with the Beasts, Dec. 18 and 31: Our regular Bunk with the Beasts program lights up with holiday cheer. Enjoy the snacks with St. Nick at our “Desserts with Santa” Family Bunk on Dec. 18 and ring in the New Year at the “Zoo Year’s Eve Kids-Only” Bunk on Dec. 31.

Connect for Health Colorado Customer Service Center adds hours

Enrollments are breaking records each day, with a total of 1,090 people signing up for private health insurance on Dec. 4 alone through Connect for Health Colorado. The increased demand is causing longer wait times at certain periods of the day at the Connect for Health Colorado Customer Service Center. Wait times are generally highest between 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. and the busiest days are Monday and Tuesday. Currently, the lowest wait times are between 7 – 9 a.m. and between 6 – 8 p.m. “We are encouraged to see a record pace of sign-ups from Coloradans who will have comprehensive coverage starting Jan. 1,” said Connect for Health Colorado CEO Patty Fontneau. “We want to let Coloradans know that our Customer Service Center is seeing record demand and that there are

better times to call to access support, and there are other ways to get help, if needed.” The Customer Service Center in Colorado Springs, and Denver satellite office, currently has more than 150 trained representatives taking customer calls between 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday. The Customer Service Center has added resources

and will continue to add capacity this month as the Dec. 23 deadline approaches to have coverage begin Jan. 1, 2014. The Customer Service Center will be open the next two Sundays (Dec. 15 and 22) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to accommodate more customers. The toll-free phone number is 1-855-PLANS-4-YOU (855-752-6749).

Connect for Health Colorado encourages Coloradans to sign up as soon as possible, and before the Dec. 23 deadline for January 1 coverage. Customers who sign up for health plans will receive bills from their chosen carriers in the next two weeks, if they haven’t already, and will have until at least the end of December to send the first month’s premium payment. Open enrollment continues until March 31, 2014, so Coloradans who miss the December deadline will still have the opportunity to sign up. Certified Health Coverage Guides and licensed health insurance agents/ brokers are available to provide inperson assistance to customers of the Marketplace. More information is available at www.ConnectforHealthCO. com.

Year’s Eve, a wild New Year’s Eve party that begins at 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 31 with entertainment, activities and crafts that leads up to an early 9 p.m. countdown to the New Year! This year, tickets can be purchased at www.denverzoo.org. Admission to Zoo Lights is $12

for adults (12-64), $8 for children (3-11), $10 for senior citizens (65+), children 2 and younger are admitted free. Members get a $2 discount on all tickets. For more information, call Denver Zoo at 720-337-1612 or visit www.denver zoo.org.

In February 2012, the Denver Energy Challenge contacted Councilwoman Debbie Ortega to participate in the city’s residen-

tial energy program. With a late 1800’s home in the Highlands, Ortega welcomed the opportunity to have an energy advisor visit her home and support one of Denver’s programs. “It’s always important to take advantage of programs when we have them at the city. It gives me the ability to speak about the program having had direct experience and knowledge with it,” said Ortega. When a homeowner chooses to participate in the Denver Energy Challenge they have the option to schedule a phone call with an advisor, or receive a home visit based on availability. Within an hour, the advisor was able to take a surface level assessment of her home and sit down and talk with Ortega about any concerns or questions she had related to her home’s energy performance. After her visit, Ortega’s energy advisor sent an energy action plan with recommendations for improving her home’s performance. Attic insulation and air sealing were the two top recommendations to improve the home’s comfort and energy efficiency. The councilwoman needed a new roof as well and chose to add the insulation at the same time. “As a homeowner, maintenance is ongoing, so it’s important to do the kinds of things that improve your home and can make a huge difference. I’ve already noticed a difference since my insulation was added,” said Ortega. Ortega also has an old chimney that was sealed quite some time ago, however she continued to feel drafts even with a pillow shoved up inside. Her advisor recommended a quick fix: a chimney balloon (average cost $40), which fits neatly into the chimney to prevent drafts. “Having the right thing really makes a difference,” Ortega said. Now with winter here, Ortega and her home are confident that the cold temperatures will stay outside all year long. This winter, what can you do to make your home more comfortable and energy efficient while lowering your energy bills)?
