Internet filters to block pornography will be activated on Sept. 1 on all Jeffco Public Library computers, though different standards will be used in controlling content on machines accessed by adults and children.
Computers used by adult patrons will filter only images deemed pornographic, while those used by children will block websites in their entirety, said Steve Endicott, library information-technology director. Entire sites will also be blocked on computers accessing the library’s wireless signal, regardless of the age of the user, he said.

The traditional concept of the annual Parade of Homes is to let home dreamers tour grand mansions with every imaginable amenity.

This year, the Parade of Homes is spread over two dozen locations, and Evergreen’s location gets away from that tradition concept.

There are no homes.

The new subdivision Ohtama, located off Douglas Park Road, has 12 lots that are already equipped with underground electrical and high-speed Internet, water and sewer. Each is about a half-acre and sells from $265,000 to $330,000.

A riot of color greets customers as they walk into Hearts in Bloom, a silk-flower shop that opened last month in Marshdale.

The tiny shop is the dream of floral designer Judy Williams, who has always wanted a floral shop of her own. She had worked as a floral designer years ago, but the need for a more secure job took her into pharmacy work.

Williams spent more than 20 years as a pharmacy technician at a King Soopers down the hill. After retiring, she spent 18 months trying to decide what she wanted to do, and she says it always came back to floral design.
