T

ravel is one of those things I did not enjoy much of as a child. Growing up in the Midwest in a family with little means, travel for me meant to the local campground or the occasional trip out of state (by car) to visit family.

As an adult, my travel experience took off a little slow, but today is a priority for my family. I find it especially important for my children to travel and have experiences that I could not be afforded. I’m happy to report that both of my girls are savvy travelers who have flown across the country by themselves for various reasons—mostly to visit family.

They both have traveled with school groups, and both have traveled out of the country. While their passports are not full, it’s only a matter of time.

Despite their travel moxie, the best trips are those we share as a family. Traveling abroad offers us exciting new experiences that we can share. Visiting Spanish-speaking countries offers my oldest, who is fluent in Spanish, the opportunity to use the language in a way she cannot at home. Going to places we don’t speak the language with our tiny translation books in hand gives us another type of experience.

Despite my upbringing, or maybe because of it, I enjoy our long weekend trips exploring places right in our own backyard. Our recent trip to Crested Butte (page 34) was a whole new experience for us although we’ve been there many times. Instead of spending all of our time hiking or strolling on Elk Avenue, we sought places we hadn’t been before including museums, restaurants and more. It was like visiting again for the first time.

I’m looking forward to a summer full of weekend trips to places we’ve never been to such as Mesa Verde or the The Great Sand Dunes. But I also can’t wait to explore places we have been with a new, fresh eye and sense of adventure. Now, if I could just get the girls to enjoy being in the car instead of on a plane…

Around Town Small Community of the Year The town of Lyons recently received the “Small Community of the Year” award from the Economic Development Commission of Colorado for its post-flood business recovery efforts. The town gave residents nearly $80,000 to help them rebuild after last September’s floods.

A year and a half ago, Lyons applied for $47,000 in loans from a fund set up by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help rural communities. After the floods, Mayor John O’Brien contacted the USDA to expedite distribution of the money. However, the government agency was unable to meet the request.

The town then formed a committee to build its own recovery fund.

The Longmont Community Foundation made a $16,500 contribution followed by donation of $10,000 from Oskar Blues’ CAN’d Aid. The remainder of the money came from individual contributions.

No More big red ‘Yes!’ The City of Boulder has decided not to move forward with its plans for a large, red “Yes!” on the outside of the Boulder Public Library.

City Manager Jane Brautigam recently acknowledged in a press release that the city did not seek enough public feedback before selecting the work.

She said that the “Yes!” artwork “will not move forward as planned,” and said the city’s public art policy must be revised “to fully achieve the community’s vision for public art.”

“The selection committee properly followed the Interim Policy on Public Arts and did an excellent job identifying well-known artists to participate in this project,” says Brautigam. “However, it is clear that the interim policy does not provide ample community input to ensure the selected art piece adequately reflects the Boulder community.

We want to revisit how the city can create more robust public involvement in selecting public art projects before finalizing the selection.”

After discussion at the following City Council meeting, Brautigam said she will not sign the contract for the artwork, and there will be a new process to choose public art for the library after the completion of a Community Cultural Plan.

Permanent watering restrictions in Lafayette Mandatory 2014 watering restrictions Lafayette: Watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. is banned, as is allowing excessive water to run over areas that do not have vegetation and spraying down or washing paved areas such as driveways.

Superior: Watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. is banned.

Boulder: None.

Longmont: None.

Louisville: None.

Erie: None.

16 Boulder Lifestyle | June 2014

Superior: None.

Broomfield: None, but recommended rules are available on the water conservation hotline at 303.438.6210.

Lafayette officials are reminding residents that since November, the city has permanent water conservation rules in place.

Those rules, codified in a city ordinance, ban most forms of outdoor irrigation between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., excessive water overrun onto sidewalks and streets, gutters and other vegetation-less surfaces and spraying down or washing paved areas including driveways.

The ordinance does make exceptions to the 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. restriction for hand watering with a hose. Also excepted is irrigation of commercial agriculture, city-owned athletic fields and at the city-operated Indian Peaks Golf Course. However, the city plans to comply with the restrictions to the extent it can.

Lafayette photographer chosen for Governor’s Art Show Photographer Lindsey Wohlman of Lafayette was accepted into Loveland’s Governor’s Art Show. This is the first year photographers have been entered, and Wohlman is one of only two represented in the show.

She works with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to re-create the work of John James Audubon, an 18th century painter who documented at least half the country’s bird species in watercolor or prints. Wohlman is working on a two-year project to replicate the prints of Audubon.

Wohlman borrows bird specimen from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science She arranges a bird to her liking and take a photo. Using Adobe Photoshop she layers images to create a still-life bird scene.

Northern harriers make last stand at Boulder Reservoir Despite the odds, a pair of northern harriers is building their ground nest just west of Boulder Reservoir. They face many threats including humans, coyotes, red-tailed hawks and more. However, if they can survive, their eggs should hatch in early June, and the young will leave the nest by mid-July.

In the past 10 years, only four Boulder County northern harrier nests, all located in the wetlands surrounding Boulder Reservoir, have succeeded.

The ground-nesting birds were once able to conceal their nests in extensive marshes and wetlands in Boulder County. However, loss of habitat to human encroachment is hurting the bird’s numbers.

Today, the northern harrier is listed as “imperiled” on Boulder County’s Species of Special Concern list.

The Business of Being Beautiful Article Emily O’Brien | Photography Provided

nvision a medical and surgical aesthetic practice enveloped inside the look and feel of a tranquil and restful spa space. For practical purposes, Aura, a skincare facility, can be thought of as two places in one; there’s the Liposculpture & Plastic Surgery Center side and then also a (relatively) non-invasive side called Advanced Skin Care and Laser Aesthetics. Aura formed fairly recently in the summer of 2013 when Dr. Nathan Roesner, who is a cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon, purchased the practice he was already working for and launched a major rebrand of the company and name change. Having both places under one roof made sense for him.

Being a mostly aesthetic plastic surgery practice, most of the procedures Roesner performs are Vaser Hi Definition liposuction, fat transfers, liquid facelifts as well as face/body transformations.

The Facility

Because you wouldn’t want anything less than the absolute best when it comes to your body, Aura features state-of-the-art equipment in an office-based surgical facility interlaced inside an in-

tentionally soothing and enjoyable atmosphere. Treatment rooms are kept private and comfortable, and the staff prides itself on an extremely high-level of customer care.

Procedures on the Liposculpture & Plastic Surgery Center side cover the entire body; Aura’s practices comprise of surgery for the eyes, brow, nose, face and neck to the breasts, abdomen and legs.

“If it’s done on the body, head-to-toe, I do it,” says Roesner, a board certified plastic surgeon and the only practicing doctor at the facility.

Non-surgical

Aura Advanced Skin Care & Laser Aesthetics can help people restore their skin’s natural luster and solve common skin problems, such as the treatment of sun damage and general signs of aging. Scars, unsightly veins or issues with uneven texture, discoloration or complexion and laser hair removal are also offered.

Under the direction of Roesner, Aura’s licensed medical professionals deliver customized treatment plans tailor-made to meet each patient’s unique needs. This includes routine vital maintenance and preventative options to ensure individual aesthetic goals are met for everyone that walks through its door.

The most popular non-surgical and maintenance treatments include: Botox & fillers, No-Tox (toxin free alternative to Botox), continued >

Individualized Care

“I always tell people, ‘Listen it’s not about me. It’s about you as a patient,’” Roesner says. “Developing an individualized plan is most important.”

Roesner says that sometimes patients will feel almost badly

that they are choosing to go with a particular option instead of another, but he stresses they shouldn’t. Physical modifications can establish as a joint-conversation, but in the end it’s about what the patient feels most comfortable with.

And patients know what’s best for their bodies and lifestyle.

Roesner adds, “The practice, as a whole, is extremely inviting and comfortable with a happy staff. We don’t just cruise people through. Our goal is to be very individualized. That’s why my consultations are an hour long. I want to work with people to develop a plan.”

The hour is set aside for patients to ask questions, examine the areas of concern, report medical histories, divulge contributing lifestyle factors and allow for ample time to create and develop a best-laid plan to move forward.

Not being rushed when it comes to our bodies, whether it’s an invasive procedure or not, seems like a pretty good thing.

Globetrotters’ Hub at Home Wander Into Changes in Latitude Travel Store Article Sandra Henderson | Photography Provided

C

hanges in Latitude (CIL) is more than a Boulder travel store; it’s a polestar for seasoned travelers and novice tourists in search of practical gear, travel clothing, books and maps. Free with purchase: travel tips and the companionship of like-minded travelers, brimming with wanderlust.

While CIL owner Cindy McClelland can’t remember how she came up with the name (the Jimmy Buffet fan suspects the song “Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes” was on her mind), she does recall what motivated her to open her travel store in The Village shopping center in 1993. The vivacious vagabond got the idea for a first-class travel store—staffed with widely traveled enthusiasts who can offer customers firsthand travel and product advice—after she returned from a one-and-a-half-year backpacking trip around the world.

“Before I left, no one knew about adventure travel or long-term travel. There was no store like this around,” McClelland looks back.

She had owned outdoor stores before, in Nebraska and Alaska.

This time, though, she longed for the Colorado mountains, where she had spent camping vacations as a child.

What’s more, “For a store like this to be successful, you have to have a fairly well-educated and wealthy community,” the business woman says. Boulder fit that bill.

“People here like to travel. And they aren’t just going to Mexico or to Europe one time; they are traveling all over the world all of the time, and that’s really awesome,” McClelland says.

Every week, 50 to 130 globetrotters gather at CIL for Traveler’s Tuesdays (7 p.m.), where one member of the local travel community unpacks impressions, photos and tips from a recent trip.

The bulk of CIL’s business comes from repeat local customers and their tagalong friends. But the town’s “Best Travel Supply Store” (Best of Boulder 2013) also gets traffic from out-of-state visitors en route up to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Travel Goods and Good-to-Knows

“My staff is really well traveled,” McClelland raves. “They really care about everyone’s experience, and that makes a big difference.

It’s the culture of the store.”

The owner herself can’t get enough of traveling to foreign countries.

“It’s why I’m doing this. I’m on a quest to see as much of the world as I can,” she says.

30 Boulder Lifestyle | June 2014

CIL’s reputation for travel savvy is precisely what brings Ralph Altiere, Ph.D., into the store. The regular crisscrosses the globe for his job as dean of the University of Colorado School of Pharmacy and needs an adapter for his upcoming trip to Brazil. International adapter plugs, in fact, are a bestseller here. Altiere also brought in a handful of adapter models he accumulated on past overseas business trips. Having forgotten which one is for which country, he’d come to the right place.

“You can’t go by the manufacturers’ labels,” team member Fern knows. “This one here says ‘South Africa/India,’ but it would never work in India.”

Another item flying off the shelf is No Jet Lag, a homeopathic remedy that does exactly what its name implies, according to McClelland’s husband, who sets store by these tablets. Patron Joy Prather needs some for her trip to Rome where her frequent flyer family will celebrate daughter Emily’s graduation from grad school.

“My husband works for an airline, so we get to do this a lot,” Pather says, before heading over to the adapter wall.

McClelland and her staff ask lots of questions to determine what an individual traveler truly needs. Besides, the “traveler’s checklist” on the CIL website lists everything from pre-departure preparations to travel health necessities. CIL also offers packing clinics that teach how to pack light and latest airport security requirements.

Ironically, the three essentials McClelland advices every traveler to bring are not for purchase at CIL— Changes in Latitude nor at any travel store: Travel Store “Never leave without 2525 Arapahoe Ave. a smile, a credit card and Boulder your passport. That’s all 303.786.8406 you really need.”

A

n early morning breeze sends ripples across Cherry Creek Reservoir as a young lady pushes her Vanguard Optimist into the cool water. She climbs in, fastens the rudder, adjusts the single sail on the eight-foot dinghy, and the wind does the rest.

Welcome to Day 4 of a week-long sailing camp held by Community Sailing of Colorado.

Community Sailing

Yesterday’s stuffy yacht club, with its monied patrons and expensive boats, has been replaced with a new generation of enthusiasts eager to get out on the water and even more eager to help others experience the thrill of sailing. Community Sailing of Colorado (CSC) is one of hundreds of community sailing programs flourishing throughout the country. Colorado may be a landlocked state, but the sailors at CSC simply smile and ask: who needs the coast?

Sailing for All

Founded as a non-profit organization in 1994, Community Sailing of Colorado began with a mission to provide children with access to sailing. They later expanded and currently provide multiple programs for kids, adults and those with disabilities. Brandon 32 Boulder Lifestyle | June 2014

Kass has been involved with sailing programs for almost 20 years and has been CSC’s executive director the past four years.

“We get kids hooked on sailing by being safe, having fun and providing instruction,” Kass declares. “When we do those three things kids come back as different individuals.” Community Sailing of Colorado reaches a wide demographic.

“Some parents sign up their kids because they’re looking for something completely different,” explains Kass, “while others have had experience on the water and are looking to hone skills.”

Kass is proud of the scholarship program, which assists students who might not think of sailing as something they could do.

“We want to eliminate the financial barrier to get students from all types of backgrounds involved with our program,” Kass says.

In 2011, CSC expanded its reach to offer lessons to students with disabilities. “This was an important step forward for us,” Kass says, “and in partnering with Craig Hospital we were able to make it happen.” In 2013 CSC held lessons for 75 individuals with disabilities; this year they hope to double that number.

Volunteers Make it Happen

As with any nonprofit, the backbone of the organization is the

volunteer force. CSC relies on more than 70 volunteers who do everything from prepping boats, fundraising and, of course, providing more than 500 students with lessons. Ken Hovland has been a Community Sailing volunteer for 12 years. An avid sailor himself, Hovland felt it was time to give back to the sport that had given him so much.

“I most enjoy watching students make progress,” Hovland states. “Some come to us not knowing the mast from the rudder but then we see their self-confidence build throughout the week.”

ABLE to Sail

One of the more popular programs CSC offers is “ABLE to Sail”—essentially a youth empowerment camp on water. From mastering the technical aspects of sailing to solving problems that arise, students build character and find that what they learn about themselves is as important as learning to sail.

“Sailing provides so many life lessons,” Kass points out. “So many of our students come back as different individuals, more confident and excited to share what they have learned.”

dents sailing leads to new places, not just physically but also mentally. This summer, Peyton Anne will apply to be a Junior Instructor, a small group of experienced students who play a key role in the instructional process.

Expanding to Boulder

For the past 15 years CSC has been sailing in the Cherry Creek Reservoir; Kass is particularly excited about this season since Community Sailing will be expanding its reach from Denver to Boulder. Partnering with Boulder’s Parks & Recreation Department, Community Sailing will offer five-day sailing camps at different levels to the public.

“This is a new opportunity for us and we’re thrilled to branch out to Boulder,” Kass says. These sailing camps, starting in June and going throughout the summer, will be held at the Boulder Reservoir.

To learn more, volunteer or sign up for lessons, visit CommunitySailing.org.

Next-Generation Sailors

Thirteen-year-old Peyton Anne James has been sailing with CSC the past two years.

“It was very much her idea,” recalls Juli, Payton Anne’s mother, “and after that first week-long camp she was hooked.” Juli wasn’t surprised, given her daughter loves the water and has an uncle who owns a sailboat.

“It’s always something new, whether it’s the wind or other conditions,” her mother says. Peyton Anne seems representative of young sailors who enjoy unlocking puzzles on the water, who relish the discipline that sailing provides. For these stuJune 2014 | Boulder Lifestyle 33

estled in a valley and surrounded by nearly two million acres of pristine, mountainous wilderness, Gunnison-Crested Butte has a prime location in southwest Colorado.

Fair-weather activities include mountain biking, hiking, wildflower and wildlife viewing, climbing, boating, whitewater rafting, kayaking, fly-fishing, camping and horseback riding. Year-round visitors enjoy distinctive restaurants, locally owned shops, stimulating cultural opportunities and festivals galore ranging from the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival and Gunnison Cattlemen’s Days to Crested Butte Bike Week and Gunnison Car Show weekend.

Along a 31-mile stretch of wide-open vistas and stunning scenery, visitors can explore Gunnison, Almont, Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte and connect with the quaint and historic burgs of Pitkin, Gothic, Tin Cup,

Marble, Powderhorn and Crystal, also located in Gunnison County. Gunnison and Crested Butte, both founded in 1880, are known for Victorian-era charm, friendly Western hospitality and free-spirited nature. Almont is a fishing, rafting and rock climbing mecca, and the resort village of Mt. Crested Butte is home to renowned Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Visitors also can explore Curecanti National Recreation Area, home to Colorado’s largest body of water, and the nearby Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.

Gunnison County is part of the West Elk Loop and Silver Thread Scenic & Historic Byways.

A recent visit introduced me to some new places and solidified some of my favorites.

The following is a short list of the places I loved and wanted to share with you and your family. I’m sure you’ll discover many treasures of your own!

pioneer guest cabins These quaint cabins located inside the Gunnison National Forest are a great home base if you’re visiting both Gunnison and Crested Butte. Located just east of CB South and along the pristine Cement Creek, the eight historic cabins available are the prefect choice for active families—choose from two- or three-bedroom units. They allow dogs, too, for a nominal extra charge. Each cabin has a rustic aesthetic, but comes complete with a kitchen stocked with dishes and pots and pans—perfect if you don’t want to eat out for every meal. The owner is knowledgeable about the area including the history of her slice of the area—be sure to ask her for hot spots to hike or bike.

Hit the W in Gunnison before a day of biking or climbing at Hartman Rocks. It’s your typical small-town diner with lots of locals and bottomless cups of coffee. The biscuits and gravy are filling, but to really power up try the breakfast burrito that comes smothered in green chili.

teocalli tamale This is a great spot for lunch on Elk Avenue in Crested Butte. The tamales are a must and make sure you get the heaping helping of cilantro on top. Grab a margarita and take a seat on the tiny patio (if you can get one). It’s a great spot for people watching.

Crested Butte is known for fine dining, but some of my favorites are the off-the-beaten-path spots perfect for visiting with the kids.

Gear up for a day of outdoor activity with power breakfast sandwich from Gas Café One Stop. While it sounds strange to get breakfast from the gas station, you can’t beat these (somewhat) quick sandwiches for when you’re on-the-go.

olunteering abroad, voluntourism, experiential travel. The semantics seem more complicated than the concept: visit a place far away and different from home, do some meaningful work with the local people and leave with a sense of both personal and global development.

such as volunteer vacations. An IS survey found that 70 percent of volunteers give their time for the same reason many people travel: to gain new perspective.

Opportunities for volunteer travel abound. Whether you—or your parent or teen—want to help care for orphaned elephants in Kenya, dig a fresh-water well in a remote village of Thailand or build a girls’ school in Ecuador, chances are you can find a trip of the right length at the right price.

Opportunity for Students

Global Works, a Boulder-based travel organizer, has been providing teen community service, cultural exchange, adventure travel and language immersion programs for 23 years. Based on the idea that learning is most impactful when lessons are experiential and interactive, about 800 high school and college students each year travel with Global Works’ special blend of programming. Beyond volunteer service, most incorporate a home stay, adventure activities like rafting or ropes courses and either language or other skill-focused options such as pre-business, premed/public health or soccer.

“We don’t shy away from that,” says Depler. “But the work comes first.”

Finding the Right Trip and Provider

A recipe for success in any volunteer travel program begins with an inquisitive, open-minded approach to travel and a desire to learn about other people and cultures.

Add an adventurous spirit and the desire to work side by side with the locals and make new friends, and you’re on the right track.

Shari Ilsen, director of engagement at VolunteerMatch, also encourages wouldbe volunteer travelers to think about how long they want to work and what they want to do, being very clear about goals and expectations before moving forward.

“Find an organization or company that really needs your specific skills and passion,” Ilsen says. “When that all comes together, that’s where the impact is the most valuable for everyone involved.”

Recommended Questions for Trip Provider Selection • How long has the travel expert been running trips?

• In what kind of travel does the organization specialize?

• To what countries does the organization travel? On each trip, do they visit one location or travel to various locales in-country? How many years has the organization been traveling to each locale?

• What types of accommodations will be provided? Are photos and descriptions available?

• Are references available?

• What is the organization’s safety record and risk management protocols?

• What is the minimum age of your trip leaders?

• What types of service projects are available? Do they have a mix of projects or just one? How many service hours will I volunteer on each trip?

• What is the total cost and what is included? Accommodations, food, flights/ transportation, additional activities?

Rachel Weaver’s POINT OF DIRECTION For those of us that can’t make a great escape this summer, allow Boulder County resident Rachel Weaver to take you on a journey into the icy reality that is Alaska with her first novel, Point Of Direction. Selected by Oprah Magazine as a Top Ten Title to Pick Up Now, Point Of Direction is the story of a young couple, Anna and Kyle, both harboring secrets from each other, who decide to lease a remote lighthouse off the coast of Alaska.

Weaver will pick you up and drop you off on a small island, in a narrow channel, where the wind howls, the waves build and the water is a thousand feet deep on either side. You will be right there as a mysterious stranger lurks in the choppy seas and winter closes in, making it impossible to navigate the waves in a sixteen foot skiff. A quintessential Alaskan adventure story, Point Of Direction, uses the sharp beauty of Alaska to both challenge and heal Anna and Kyle in this riveting tale.

You can pick up your copy of Point Of Direction at local bookstores now or online at Amazon.com.

Driver’s Notebook

Jag’s New Roadster is a Serious Sports Car Article & Photography Tom Strongman

J

aguar’s beautiful new F-Type V-8 S sports car has an exhaust that pops and crackles with a sound that is part Formula One and part ’48 Mercury with straight pipes when you trigger the active exhaust system with a button on the console. The change in sound serves notice that this is not a Jag like any other.

Don’t be mistaken, the new F-Type with the 495-horsepower, supercharged V-8 is not a boulevard cruiser beefed up for performance; it is a bonafide performance car softened enough to be a boulevard cruiser. It packs plenty of bite to go with its bark. Poke the throttle and the surge pastes you back in the seat as the car slingshots to 60 miles per hour in 4.2 seconds. The electronically limited top track speed is 186 mph. As a friend once said, “it goes fast quick.”

The F-Type is a lightweight, all-aluminum, rear-wheel-drive two-seater built to challenge any car in its segment. It is beautifully styled, carefully crafted and built to have world-class performance. It’s only available as a convertible, but a coupe version is rumored.

There’s a price for this excellence.

The well-optioned test car, a V-8 S model, has a base price of $92,000 and a sticker price of $105,245. That’s more than a similarly equipped Porsche Boxster and less than the 911 Carrera S. Other lower-priced competitors include the 335-horsepower BMW Z4, the Mercedes-Benz SLK with a 415-horsepower V-8 and, to a lesser extent, the 450-horsepower Corvette Stingray.

Two other F-Types are available, and both have a supercharged, 3.0-liter

V-6. One with 340 horsepower starts at $69,000, and the S model with 380 horsepower begins at $81,000. All use an eight-speed, automatic transmission with paddle shifters. No manual gearbox is offered as of yet.

Both the V-6 and the V-8 from which it was derived have dual overhead cams, variable camshaft timing, direct fuel injection and an Eaton supercharger.

Moving from the base model to the S also includes bigger brakes, an upgraded suspension and 19-inch instead of 18inch wheels. The V-8 S model has 20-inch wheels, an electronic limited slip differential and even bigger brakes.

It’s hard to explore the V-8’s performance without a racetrack, but my brief drive around town gave hints as to just how capable the car is. The ride was comcontinued >

The Greater Good of Gathering Pennies:

Boulder Country Day’s Penny Harvest Article Emily O’Brien | Photography Provided

B

oulder Country Day School (BCD) recently wrapped up its first ever Penny Harvest program for the school year.

The Penny Harvest is a nationwide comprehensive experience for student philanthropists. The organization has raised more than $9.5 million in grants donated by children since its 1991 inception.

Contrary to popular belief, Penny Harvest is not actually a fundraiser. It is a unique, free, school-based citizenship and leadership service-learning program that integrates with the children’s school calendar. Students harvest what is known as “idle pennies” from family and friends and use the funds to make micro-grants to nonprofit organizations, while actively participating in corresponding service projects. Unlike other coin harvesting programs, Penny Harvest gives students total autonomy to decide where their coins should go.

Students learn the importance of civic engagement, philanthropy and teamwork through this character-building experience and cultivate a greater understanding of their peers, their school and community.

BCD first became familiar with the Penny Harvest through its work with The Young Philanthropists Foundation (YPF), a Denver-based nonprofit organization that is dedicated to engag-

50 Boulder Lifestyle | June 2014

ing youth in philanthropy by creating opportunities for kids and families to give back to their communities. YPF administers the Penny Harvest Program for the Denver-metro area.

Fall Harvest

BCD contributing students ranged in age from Pre-K to 8th grade and together raised $5,775.00. The harvesting of “idle pennies” sends children to their houses to round up all the loose change they can find by lifting couch cushions and emptying junk drawers and knocking on neighbors’ doors. Then classrooms host friendly competitions with one another to drum up additional cash; some rooms even hosted in-class waffle sales (bake-sale style) to collect surplus donations.

Micro-grants

Separated school divisions first debated and then voted to select an issue; animals, malaria and sick kids were top contenders.

Next, students researched and interviewed organizations that addressed its chosen issue. Students conducted phone interviews compromised of ten procured questions with representatives from each organization, allowing the students to introduce him or herself and ask a question.

Selected Organizations

BCD Kindergarten through 2nd grade children selected Greenwood Wild, a life rehabilitation center. The 3rd – 5th graders chose Nothing But Nets, which medically aids individuals infected with malaria and the 6th – 8th graders picked the Tyler Robinson Foundation to help sick children. In total, six grants were awarded $962.50 each.

Lorie Shetter, Elementary and Preschool French Teacher, who helped spearhead the program at BCD says, “In the end, the phone interviews really swayed our decision. The students were at first planning to contribute to an organization that not only provided prevention techniques, but also treatments such as medicine for those who have contracted the disease. In the end, all of the organizations stressed that prevention was absolutely the best focus as the mosquito that transmits malaria only bites between 10 p.m.-4 a.m. We decided to

grant the upper elementary Penny Harvest funds to Nothing But Nets based on our interview with Dan Skallman, their campaign associate.”

Evan Moll, a 5th grade participant says, “I learned so much new stuff that I didn’t know. For example, reading a statistic like a child dies every 60 seconds from malaria really gave me inspiration and focus to do more for the cause.”

Ongoing Service Learning

Of the three other chosen organizations to receive grants, all were tied to BCD’s service learning projects with non-profit organizations the students had previously visited and served earlier in the year: Boulder County Parks and Open Space (K-2), There With Care (3-5) and Bridge House (6-8). Each division serves its organization for three years, while each grade level addresses a different aspect of services with the intention to drive home the need for vol-

unteerism and the impact it can have on our direct community.

“Our service learning projects have included: professional clothing drives; coat drives and pie baking for the homeless; toy drives; donating Easy Meal Care Bags and making snuggle blankets for sick children; and cleaning up Parks and Open space areas in Boulder County,” states Shetter.

What is so remarkable about the Penny Harvest is that it teaches children to render their knowledge and compassion into something useful and tangible—micro-grants. It sure gives new meaning to the spare change we all have stashed throughout our house.

T

he dedication and discipline required to swim for a Division I university clearly do not go away when the goggles and suit come off.

A Boulder native, John Young attended Fairview High School and was a walk-on at the University of Southern California. After graduating, he began coaching and helped shape the swimming careers of Olympians Amanda Beard, Jason Lezak, Aaron Peirsol and others. Young says working with these elite athletes prepared him for his career as a Certified Financial Planner where he acts as a coach to his clients every day.

“Since the Olympics only come around every four years, it is sometimes hard for athletes to stay focused on their long-term goals if there is some kind of short-term setback,” says Young, who has operated Young Global Wealth Strategies as an independent Raymond James financial advisor since 2002. “Coaching them to focus on the larger vision is much like coaching my clients on their long-term investments.”

Community involvement has always been a part of Young’s life.

He says his grandmother instilled in him the importance of helping those less fortunate, whether it is by giving time, assets or just understanding. He is currently involved with the Sister Carmen Community Center and the Fairview Friends Foundation, both Boulder-area nonprofit organizations providing services to families and individuals in need.

An avid surfer, Young is also passionate about the condition of our waters. He is involved with the Surfrider Foundation, a grassroots nonprofit environmental organization based in California

that tries to understand what our oceans need and to protect them from harm.

Serving clients in the greater Denver area as well as in Southern California, Young spends about 40 percent of his time there and has remained involved with his alma mater. One recent visit to USC was for the dedication ceremony of a new swim stadium, a facility he supported through a large financial donation.

No stranger to dedication herself, Dr. Ginnie Scroggins Young grew up in Tyler, Texas. She graduated Magna cum Laude from Texas A&M University and studied medicine at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. After an internal medicine internship in Dallas, she moved to Houston for residency in diagnostic radiology where she was able to train at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Scroggins Young was selected to participate in a musculoskeletal imaging fellowship in San Francisco, Calif., and later moved to the Boulder area in 2009 to become a partner at Rocky Mountain Radiologists specializing in musculoskeletal imaging.

Married two years, John and Ginnie are thrilled to have welcomed their first son, Hollis Henry—named after his two great-grandfathers—just five months ago. John says he always wanted to be a father and wants the world for his son. Regarding how parenthood has changed their lives, he says the sense of responsibility is definitely higher.

The family lives a very active lifestyle trail running with their two dogs, swimming and taking advantage of all the area offers.

A Dying Art? Keeping the art of letterpress alive and well in Boulder Article Heather Shoning | Photography Eliza Karlson

P

rior to the 1930s, anything and everything that was printed, was printed on a letterpress machine. From the ’30s through the ’50s, the offset printing method—an easier way of doing it—took hold and letterpress essentially went away. Since that time, the artform has seen a couple of revivals and today has a strong presence in Boulder thanks to Brad O’Sullivan of Smokeproof Press.

O’Sullivan first fell in love with letterpress when he was a grad student at Naropa, which had just opened the Harry Smith Print Shop.

He always had a love of words and writing.

“I found a way to merge my love of words with an innate desire to make things with my hands,” he says.

During his two years at Naropa, O’Sullivan took on several letterpress projects including large format prints, book covers and more. For his thesis, he set an entire 48-page book of poetry by hand. Then he bound the book himself.

“Painting and drawing creates a two-dimensional product,” O’Sullivan says.

“Letterpress creates a three-dimensional result. It’s sculptural…it creates a shadow that our eye picks up.”

56 Boulder Lifestyle | June 2014

When his graduate program was over, he wanted to continue with letterpress, but didn’t know how or where to get the equipment. He went to work at a commercial paper supplier and learned as much as he could about papers in an effort to build his knowledge in the field. During this time, O’Sullivan gave a lecture on the physicality of language, and afterward was approached by a woman whose family owned a letterpress machine. For only the trip of picking it up, she offered the machine to him for free.

Albeit a generous gift and a launching point for a long career, the machine was badly rusted—so much that the parts wouldn’t move—and missing pieces. He was allowed to keep it on the dock at the paper company and would spend his lunch breaks dismantling and repairing the machine. One year after he picked up the machine he had an operable press.

With a decent amount of equipment collected, O’Sullivan took a job as the store manager of Two Hands Paperie, and helped the owner build the company’s custom invitation segment. Ten years ago this month, he took the leap to

start his own letterpress business, and it continues to grow today. In his studio, he has three letterpress machines. While he’s printed a huge variety of materials, one of O’Sullivan’s favorite projects is wedding invitations.

“I enjoy working with couples to craft something very personal for this special event in their lives,” he says. “I enjoy solving problems…‘how do I get the message out in a unique way?’”

Parting Thoughts

Please Remain Seated With Your Seat Belt Tightly Fastened Words Ellen Nordberg

W

ith extended family on both coasts requiring multiple flights per year, my husband and I lived for the day our identical twin boys could entertain themselves while traveling.

As infants, they slept on the seat-back tray tables, making the flights fairly easy. But the stress of juggling gear meant that I managed to leave my wallet behind while nursing them in airports more than once.

(Thank God for compassionate fathers who work at the Hertz counter.)

As the boys got older, controlling them became more complex. Once, a four-year-old Axel caused a scene in Logan Airport by announcing he couldn’t leave Boston without a Yankees baseball cap. I was unable to convince him that no vendor in Boston would sell us a Yankees hat and that an intervention from TSA was more likely. This generated much hilarity for every Red Sox fan within 500 feet.

Then my twins were five, and we were stuck on an indefinitely delayed Southwest Airlines flight. I was on the aisle, and the boys were next to me poking Transformer figurines into each other’s ears and shouting, “Megatron Rules!” The flight was full of restless families, and the noise level in the cabin sounded like a Saturday morning at Chuck E. Cheese’s. The flight staff got creative.

“Would any children like to come up and sing for us?” a female attendant inquired. Parents prodded shy offspring toward the aisle.

I, on the other hand, lifted my face off the armrest, and rubbed the foot print on my cheek left there in Aidan’s haste to be first in line.

Axel reluctantly accompanied him. Immediately, the theme song from Cars blared overhead – a capella, off-key and frighteningly familiar.

66 Boulder Lifestyle | June 2014

“I’m American made, I’m a large CHEVROLET!” Axel’s voice petered out, but ever fearless Aidan took over.

“I was born in the South, sometimes I have a big mouth…”

Passengers exchanged smirky looks and shook their heads.

Imagine having a child that bold! (Or tuneless.)

“I gotta SAY it!” the voice continued, although Axel was already back in his seat.

Then scuffling was heard, and a female voice murmuring, “Someone else’s turn,” but apparently Aidan wasn’t easily daunted.

“DA NA NA NA NA NA! DA NA NA NA NA NA!” Eventually the flight attendant wrestled the mic from him, thanked him for his effort, and a handful of people clapped.

Aidan came beaming back to his seat.

Several months later, on a flight to California, Aidan twisted and twitched in his seat as we waited for take-off.

“What’s the matter?” I said.

Aidan turned his head 180 degrees in each direction, craning his neck over the seatback.

“What is it?” I asked. “Do you have to go to the bathroom?”

“No,” he said, looking hopefully toward the crew. “It’s just, well, I don’t want to miss the singing!”

What had I wished for? Children who could entertain themselves.

What did I get? Twins who could entertain everyone around them.

Sometimes you just have to open your mind to the solutions the universe provides. Especially when your kids will be carrying their suitcases themselves and flying off to their own destinations soon enough.
