MANAGING EDITOR

Can’t Stop The Changes

EDITOR IAL COOR DINATOR S

For many transplants, including myself, skiing or snowboarding was the original draw to Colorado. Once here, however, the changes in seasons, and the highlights that each of them brings, are the reason we stayed. The crisp fall mornings make the warmth of the afternoon sunshine even more enjoyable. I am fairly certain that I’ve said it more this year than any other, “WOW, autumn in Colorado is amazing!” Throw in the fact that the Buffs football program is not only relevant but is often leading the sports news cycle, the fall of 2023 has certainly been one for the record books here in Boulder. As the bright, October leaves have now fallen across the state, the focus will soon shift to that other glorious season in Colorado, winter. While the season technically doesn’t change until December 1, my internal calendar shifts to winter as soon as I see the Warren Miller movie promo go up on the Boulder Theater marquee. Prior to moving to Colorado, in the early 2000’s, I would often drive out from Kansas City to visit friends at CU and attend these WM movies. Nothing gets one more fired up than sitting in a theater with eight hundred people hootin’ and hollerin’ as pro skiers and snowboards bombed down massive faces in Alaska, and even the occasional Eldora segment that spotlights the locals. It’s time to open up that yellow and black storage tub, pull out the gear; justify why we need new gear (even though we probably don’t) and obsess over the ten-day weather forecast. Winter is almost here! As always, thanks for reading!

NOT YOUR AVERAGE DESERT-INSPIRED PSYCHEDELIC ROCK JAM BAND

Boulder has always been a hub for musical innovation, with its ever-present and eclectic grouping of bands and artists. The Desert Furs, formed in 2019, are no exception to the diverse landscape of Boulder’s music scene. With some deep connections stemming from Lawrence, Kansas, the current lineup consists of Billy Wassung, guitarist and lead singer, Jon Studtmann on bass and vocals, Cody Bump on keyboards, synths, and vocals and Alex Thiessen on drums and percussion. In anticipation of their upcoming show co-headlining at the Fox Theater in Boulder on November 17 with The Jauntee and River Spell, I was able to talk with the band and discuss their sound, their influences and their creative process.

As a self-described psychedelic rock jam band, the band’s name itself is a nod to their musical style. When asked about where the band’s name came from, Billy says, “My mind goes to camping and having these trippy experiences up in the desert, so that's where all the music stems from. There's a big desert theme in most of our music.” With Billy being the primary songwriter in the band, a lot of the lyrics explore themes of love, freedom and collective human existence. Emotive vocal harmonies layer on top of ethereal and cosmic melodies—the group blends elements of rock, funky synth-driven grooves and psychedelic guitar solos. Cody, the most recent member of the band by way of a Craigslist ad for a keyboardist, mentions, ”What drew me to the band in the first place was just the very original songwriting. Definitely a different feel than your average jam band type thing.” When asked about their influences, Pink Floyd, Jerry Garcia, The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and various jam bands get thrown out there. A couple of different times they bring up Jonathan Wilson, a California-based producer, songwriter and musician credited with revitalizing the Laurel Canyon music scene. The Desert Furs members collectively talk about how their creative process is very synergistic. When demos are brought to the table, parts are often purposefully left blank so respective members of the band can put their stamp on it and fill in the grooves. “It's really a collaborative thing,” says Billy, “Whether we do it all together in the moment, or if it's pieced together and then we come together to do it.” The band also tells stories about sharing files during the pandemic and piecing together their third full-length album, Pando, that way. “The whole COVID thing of not playing gigs—it gave us an opportunity to practice a bunch,” says bassist Jon, “We all made that commitment, and everyone really came together through all that stuff. It put us in a position these last two years to keep growing as performers and write even cooler songs. Then that's put us in this position to have this really good year.” The “really good year” Jon refers to includes playing a plethora of gigs all over Colorado including their first headlining show at the Fox Theater this past January, increasing their fanbase and riding on the coattails of their finest full-length album yet, eponymously titled The Desert Furs, released in 2022. When asked what the band expects from the audience at a Desert Furs show, drummer Alex is the first to respond: “Dance! That’s what we want. There’s the energy that goes back and forth, for sure, and if we can get some of that energy from the audience it helps.” The dance party continues at the Fox Theater on November 17. The Desert Furs’ new single Existing Just For Fun is out now on all streaming platforms and expect new music in the form of an EP from the band soon. TheDesertFurs.com

Nailing the Details . . .

“If you’re going to do high-end, you have to get every detail right. We sold our house in the city, bought 5 acres in Boulder County, North of Niwot, and hired an architect for some very custom plans. I’d never heard of Maurer, but I’m so glad I found them. If you’re going to do high-end, you have to get every detail right. Tami insisted on test boards and a full sheet rock test wall to make sure we not only picked the perfect white, but the perfect finish for each particular area. We bought a custom, distressed dining room table and really wanted our solid wood front door stained to match. They nailed it. The details throughout the entire house are clean and have modern lines, especially the black nickel gap bedroom wall.” - TRACEY BRADSHAW

RETIREMENT INCOME PLANNING: MA XIMIZING WEALTH AND LEGACY YOU ONLY GET ONE RETIREMENT ARTICLE COURTESY OF IMPACT WEALTH

F IN A N CIA L BU Z Z | FIN ANCE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

Retirement marks the culmination of years of dedication, perseverance and sound financial choices. It's often envisioned as a period of relaxation, exploration and deep connection with family and friends. However, this dream doesn't just manifest. It necessitates forward-thinking and detailed planning, regardless of one's financial status. Amid global economic changes, evolving life expectancies and intricate tax systems, an all-encompassing and strategic retirement plan is more crucial than ever. A key element of effective retirement planning is diversifying your income sources. While staples like 401(k)s or IRAs are foundational, it's equally important to branch out. Dividend-bearing stocks can provide regular dividends, bonds offer both periodic interest and principal return and real estate, whether directly or indirectly owned, has potential for both rental income and value growth. Private investments can also yield passive income and impressive returns. Tax considerations significantly influence retirement strategies. Each financial action, from asset sales to account withdrawals, can carry tax consequences. Knowing these details can greatly influence one's overall retirement income. Tactics such as Roth IRA conversions can help distribute tax liabilities over time, allowing for tax-free withdrawals later on. Using strategies like tax-loss harvesting can balance out capital gains, ensuring proactive steps to reduce tax impact.

SOURCES OF INCOME DURING RETIREMENT Annuities have long been recognized as a popular retirement income source. An annuity is essentially a financial contract that can offer a steady and predictable income, with options that might even extend to lifetime payouts.

Available in varieties like fixed, variable and indexed, they often come with tax advantages. However, retirees should also be aware of certain drawbacks. These might include fees and expenses, issues around liquidity, and potential concerns related to inflation. Delving into the world of Alternative Investments, retirees can consider assets such as hedge funds, private equity and real assets, among others. These investments may promise higher returns and provide diversification away from traditional stocks and bonds. However, the complexities of these investments mean they often come with challenges like illiquidity, higher fees and the need for a thorough understanding of the investment itself. Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs), while not familiar to everyone, can be a potential retirement income source. Historically rooted, DSTs offer a form of passive real estate investment, which can lead to regular distributions. They also open doors to 1031 exchange possibilities, offering tax deferral benefits. But, just like any other investment, DSTs have their limitations, notably the lack of liquidity and the heavy reliance on trust management. Introduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs) were designed to spur economic development. Investing in these zones can lead to deferral, reduction and even the potential elimination of certain capital gains taxes. However, they often require a long-term investment horizon, and retirees must be well-versed with the specifics of the chosen opportunity zone. Rental Income remains a favorite for many looking for consistent returns. Whether through direct property ownership or Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), real estate

can offer passive income, tax benefits and appreciation. Yet, the responsibilities tied to property management, the uncertainties of market fluctuations and other associated costs must not be ignored. The backbone of many retirement plans, Social Security Income, provides a safety net for millions. Established with the intent of financial assistance, the amount one receives depends on various factors. There are also strategies retirees can employ to maximize these benefits, such as deciding on the optimal time to claim or considering the implications of working while receiving benefits.

ESTATE PLANNING AND PHILANTHROPY Beyond the immediate realm of retirement, estate planning emerges. This encompasses not just post-retirement arrangements but also asset distribution for future generations or charitable endeavors. Regularly reviewing wills, trusts and beneficiary designations ensures alignment with changing circumstances. Philanthropy seamlessly integrates with retirement plans. Beyond fulfilling a personal mission to give back, it also carries financial benefits. Using instruments like donor-advised funds or charitable trusts lets individuals make impactful societal contributions while enjoying tax advantages. You only get one retirement. Let us empower you to make the most of it. In the ever-evolving world of finance, staying updated and flexible is essential to ensure the continued relevance and efficiency of one's retirement strategy. Every retirement journey is distinct, and each vision merits expert guidance.

WHAT’S NEW ON THE MOUNTAIN THIS SEASON AT KEYSTONE AND STEAMBOAT ARTICLE BY JESSICA MORDACQ

Bergman Bowl - Katie Young, Keystone Resort

“This is going to offer that rare opportunity for families to have their first high-alpine experience together.”

With winter on the horizon, it’s time to start getting ready for skiing and snowboarding–and checking out new developments at nearby resorts. This season, both Keystone and Steamboat have added elements for all skill levels to elevate your good time.

OFF THE BEATEN PATH Since opening in 2004, Bergman Bowl and Erickson Bowl have been considered Keystone’s most remote terrain, catering to skiers and riders who are willing to hike around a mile-and-a-half to get there. But with Keystone’s new high-speed Bergman Express lift, guests can get to this 555-acre area of the mountain in just five minutes. The terrain in Bergman Bowl and Erickson Bowl will also be much more accessible this year. The original ten marked trails have been bladed and graded for improved use, and Keystone even added a few new trails; there are now

O UT D OOR A DV E N T U R E | S PORTS + RE CRE ATI ON

13 in Bergman Bowl and three in Erickson Bowl. All trails are named after surrounding mountain peaks or landmarks, with the exception of Jane’s Journey, named for Jane Bergman, one of Keystone’s founders. A new patrol hut will serve as a central location for high-alpine ski patrols. It’s off-grid and sustainable, powered by solar panels, heated with a pellet stove and made from Beetle Kill Pine wood. “We're really looking at it as an example for where we can head as an industry,” says Max Winter, Keystone’s communications manager. The patrol hut is a part of Keystone’s contribution to Vail Resort’s Commitment to Zero, an effort toward a zero net operating footprint by 2030.

FOR THE FAMILY Along with nine blue and four black trails, Bergman Bowl includes three green routes–including Ten Mile, one of the highest green trails in the country, Max said.

“This is going to offer that rare opportunity for families to have their first high-alpine experience together,” he added. These trails will open with adequate snowfall, ideally in late December. At Steamboat, as part of the resort’s Full Steam Ahead project, what was previously the Rough Rider and Bashor Basin area has transformed into Greenhorn Ranch, a learning center for beginners. The previous learning center was closer to the base area. “They are being immersed in the mountains right off the bat,” says Maren

Franciosi, Steamboat’s communications manager, of beginners. “We've groomed the snow to create the sensation of turning, the sensation of stopping,” she adds of Greenhorn Ranch. Steamboat has also regraded this terrain to a 0 to 15% angle. While the first leg of Steamboat’s new Wild Blue Gondola opened last season–taking riders from the base area, stopping at Greenhorn Ranch and continuing to Sunshine Peak–the upper leg launches this winter. Wild Blue Gondola’s 3.16 mile, 13-minute ride will be the Credit to Steamboat Ski Resort

longest and fastest ten-person gondola in North America. The gondola’s capacity will increase from 6,000 people per hour to 10,000. Steamboat’s base area underwent construction and has a new ice rink, fire pits, live music stage and The Range Food & Drink Hall, full of four recently added dining outlets and a handful of bars. All base area buildings are now LEED-certified. At the bottom of Keystone’s Bergman Bowl and Erickson Bowl, Timber Ridge Lodge also got an upgrade with additional indoor and outdoor seating, revealed last season, and new dining concepts open this winter.

FOR THE ADVENTURER This year’s largest addition at Steamboat is the 650-acre Mahogany Ridge, a new expert and advanced area of the mountain that was previously a sidecountry experience. The expansion takes Steamboat from the fifth largest Colorado ski resort to the second and will be serviced by a new chairlift after riders take the Pony Express to the top of the mountain. “People are going to need to be very intentional about getting there,” Maren says. “It’s not going to be a place where you’re just going to end up. We’re excited to offer these new advanced and expert options to skiers and riders.” NOVEMBER 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / BO UL D E R

Local Stops to Spice up Your Holiday Decor ARTICLE BY SARAH KATZ | PHOTOGRAPHY BY POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER

As backyard BBQs and picnic outings wrap up for the season, so begins the time of year to break out your seasonal decorations to host friends or family for a fall-inspired dinner party. Whether it is your book club get-together, Friendsgiving, or you find yourself hosting for the holidays, local boutiques should be top of mind to help find your inspiration. If you walk down Pearl Street, you will find Fiori Flowers, a women-owned flower shop in the heart of Boulder. They offer bouquets for your home, weekly or monthly flower club memberships as well as full-service weddings. Lara DeBroux, owner of Fiori Flowers, aims to celebrate the local community by incorporating other small businesses in her store, “…we strive to stand out with our original designs as well as supporting other small businesses by buying as many locally sourced flowers as possible, selling local jewelry, pottery and more in the shop.” For dinner parties, Laura recommends a mix of vegetables and flowers, “I love a farm-to-table look... locally sourced gourds, vegetables, fruits and of course flowers, while still leaving lots of room for glasses, plates, etc. and all the delicious food!” You can grab a bouquet from her shop for your holiday table to warm up the room with oranges, yellows and browns. She also cautions using your time wisely when hosting, “Do everything that you can ahead of time and delegate, delegate, delegate! Including calling your favorite florist to help with your floral needs.”

“Food Lab is a recreational cooking school in Boulder that aims to make you the hero in the kitchen.” As you continue your walk down Pearl Street you can veer into Jones + Co., a modern mercantile that showcases charming glassware and plating options that will elevate your fall tablescape. Their amber coupe glasses, pebble plates and happy organic beeswax candles will impress any guest who steps foot into your home. Once you’ve set the scene with a tasteful tablescape, now is the time to roll up your sleeves and decide what food will be served. Expand your cooking horizon with a night out at a Food Lab cooking class. “Food Lab is a recreational cooking school in Boulder that aims to make you the hero in the kitchen,” says Casey Easton, founder and CEO of Food Lab. “We have so many great classes for fall, including baking workshops (gluten-free!), kids workshops, fun date night choices and we are also a huge draw for corporate holiday parties!” Food Lab offers a wider variety of cooking classes including a fall focused baking and pastry workshop. There you can learn tips and tricks to impress your guests with your newfound holiday baking expertise. Casey also shared her steamed cauliflower with cheese sauce and piquillo pepper recipe which was a “staple at my house for Thanksgiving growing up.” Her recipe is a fun and delicious way to make your kids eat their vegetables. “Now, I make it every year, and also make extra cheese sauce to top some pasta for the picky kids at the table. The piquillo salsa is great served on the side for guests to add for a great herby smokey tang to the dish!”

Steamed Cauliflower with Cheese Sauce and Piquillo Pepper

INGREDIENTS: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1 whole head cauliflower Salt 1 cup sharp shredded cheddar cheese 2 TBSP butter 2 TBSP flour (can use GF) 1 cup milk Pepper Nutmeg 1 jar piquillo peppers, drained 1 cup parsley, stemmed and chopped 1 shallot, diced small 1 lime, juiced 2 TBSP roasted pumpkin seeds 1 tsp honey

DIRECTIONS: 01. Put 2-3” of salted water in a pot that your cauliflower will be in, bring to a simmer/boil. 02. Peel the leaves off the cauliflower and place it in the simmering water, cover with a lid.

03. Let cook until the water is absorbed and the cauliflower is tender, but not quite falling apart, for about 10 minutes. 04. You may need to add more water and cook longer if your cauliflower is really big or if the lid is not tight fitting. Continue to check for doneness. Remove from heat and set in a nice serving platter or bowl. 05. Melt butter in a saucepan. When melted, sprinkle in butter while whisking so it does not clump or burn. When incorporated, begin pouring in milk slowly, stirring constantly. When the milk is all in, turn heat to low, if it’s not already, and let it cook for five minutes. 06. Slowly add in the grated cheese, stirring constantly. When it is all incorporated, season with salt, pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Turn the heat off but keep it in the pot until ready to serve, when you will need to heat it back up again. 07. Put peppers, parsley, shallot, lime, honey and pumpkin seeds in a small bowl. Salt and mix well. 08. Pour warm cheese sauce over the cauliflower and top with a little bit of salsa, serving the rest on the side.

Lowriding in High Country A DESIGN HAVEN IN THE HEART OF COLORADO

In the heart of Colorado, nestled in the time-frozen town of Hygiene, sits Low Rider. More than just a store, Low Rider is a testament to Susan McGrady’s life-long romance with travel, design and the art of curating memories. Susan has been a curious traveler, wanderer and collector for her entire life. Moving around a lot as a child, Susan found that collecting objects created a sense of home for her wherever they were. “A set of three porcelain zebras was my first acquisition,” she says. “I’ve never lost that sense of wonder about how things are made, what inspired the maker, how they’ve lived, and how they’ve been loved.” Entering Low Rider in Hygiene, Colorado, “you aren’t really entering my world,” says Susan. “It’s a collection of a world of makers, past and present, that is constantly changing and evolving.” Self-defined as a retail concept store and interior design studio, Low Rider comes from humble beginnings. Once an abandoned gas station, Low Rider now stands as a modern eclectic hub. The story of its inception is as serendipitous as the items it houses. “A trip to Hygiene to store our daughter’s belongings led us to purchase the old station, on a whim,” says Susan. “It’s a testament to life’s unpredictability. You just never know where the ride will take you.” And thus, Low Rider was born. CONTINUED >

“The future of Low Rider is unknown; just the way Susan likes it.” Emily Canova, creative consultant to Low Rider, has been a major part of Low Rider's growing presence in Hygiene. "It's been fun to collaborate with Susan to create a portal of inspiration for the community." To get the story behind the goods? They’re hoping you ask. “We love to carry vintage and new items, jewelry, apothecary,

children’s items,” Susan says. “We have everything from a 17th century dog collar, to a collection of chicken footstools, to handmade dinnerware, to vintage clothing.” The list goes on and on. “It is a reflection of traveling backroads, getting off the beaten path. There are so many interesting people to meet, with their journey to share,” she says.

Low Rider CONTINUED > NOVEMBER 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / BO UL D E R

“If my store can spark even a fraction of that wonder and camaraderie, I’d consider it a triumph.”

“Antiques just provide a sincerity, a feeling of continuity, not just with my own world, but a connection to the past that just provides a sense of belonging to a community even though the community might be long gone.” The store’s name, ‘Low Rider’, and its ethos are inspired by the lowrider community. Known for its classic car conversions, “the fervor and innovation at a lowrider gathering is simply breathtaking,” says Susan. “If my store can spark even a fraction of that wonder and camaraderie, I’d consider it a triumph.” Along with her love for collecting and antiques, Susan’s passion for interior

FASH ION F OR WA R D | HOME + DE S I GN

design is evident through her store and her energy itself. With an eye for melding the modern with the antique, Susan's innate design flair became increasingly evident, leading many to seek her expertise in breathing warmth into their personal spaces. “You are the soul of your room and your home, not the objects in it,” says Susan. “The objects enhance that.” The future of Low Rider is unknown; just the way Susan likes it. There are near future plans, like a newly opened Low Rider Gallery, introducing artists and makers to the community. They are preparing for a Low Rider Holiday Edition Shop with more

gifts, vintage and new, and have Low Rider products on the horizon. However, Low Rider is all about riding through life, living in the moment and noticing all of the wonderful things around you. Not knowing what’s happening five, ten years from now? “That’s exciting!” says Susan. She reiterates: “You just never know where the ride will take you, and I love to stay open to all the possibilities of the open road."

Beckon (Denver), Bosq (Aspen), Brutø (Denver), Frasca Food and Wine (Boulder) and The Wolf’s Tailor (Denver) rose to the top as the five restaurants to receive a star for Michelin’s Colorado debut.

The origin of the Michelin guidebook was Frasca - Photo by Casey Wilson a creative execution by the French founders of Michelin tires to get more motorists on the road.

car, the Michelin guide has remained aspirational and spans across three continents. Colorado residents and restaurateurs alike have been anxiously awaiting to have Michelin review Colorado restaurants, and as they touched down this year, the food community was electrified. Founder of Frasca Food and Wine, Bobby Stuckey, underscores the excitement that Michelin has brought to Colorado, “Michelin's presence in Colorado is an incredible thing for the whole state - I look forward to seeing where this takes us all. We feel so honored to be one of the five restaurants to earn a star in the inaugural year - it's a tremendous starting line for us.” The Ginger Pig, located in the Berkley area in Denver, received the Bib Gourmand designation along with eight other Colorado restaurants which highlights meals worth a distinction at a more friendly price tag. Natascha Hess, chef and owner of The Ginger Pig, incorporates her own experiences into the menu which highlights Asian street food and features, “….several dishes inspired by her recent travels to Japan, Singapore, Vietnam, Korea, and Malaysia." The Ginger Pig started out as a food truck in Boulder and is soon returning to its roots. "We're putting the final few touches on the space and will be opening the window before the end of the month," manager Ward Bedsole confirms. Another facet of the Michelin guide is the Green Star, which highlights restaurants that are leaders in sustainability. Brutø and The Wolf’s Tailor received a Michelin star as well as a Green Star, alongside two other recipients Blackbelly Market (Boulder) and Bramble and Hare Blackbelly (Boulder). This award proves them to be both innovative in culinary skills as well as sustainable practices. Frasca Food and Wine received the only star distinction in Boulder which their founder, Bobby Stuckey, is proud to represent. “Even before Michelin, I always felt so proud to be a nationally recognized restaurant representing our incredible The Wolf's Tailor - Photo by Jeff Fierberg community. We love this city and work hard to be an advocate and representative of Boulder.” Be sure to add these restaurants as stops on your next road trip or night out on the town, just as the original Michelin guide intended.

I NG T H E BOUNTY OF THE SEASON

ARTICLE BY GRACE BOYLE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY EMMA HAMPSTEN

H OW TO | FOOD + BEVERAGE

Autumn in Colorado is ushered in by the sound of elk bugling and aspen shuddering gold. Generations before us marked harvest season by preserving the abundance of fruits and vegetables at peak ripeness by canning, freezing, pickling, fermenting and dehydrating before the long winter months. Now, with year-round produce from gems like Natural Grocers, the pastime of preserving has become a hobby. But don’t let that dissuade you learning to preserve your own foods is fun and it’s one of those skills that looks great on your post-apocalyptic resumé.

CANNING The most unforgiving of these processes is canning because you must follow a recipe exactly to get the correct balance of acid and sugar or you can poison yourself (and others) with botulism. Where you can get creative, once you’ve advanced in your canning technique, is to swap in different spices that don’t change the sugar and acidity level. Think of canning like baking: follow the recipe and you’ll get a great result every time. For canning, you’ll need glass mason jars, a large stock pot, a jar lifter and rack, a wide-mouth funnel and canning lids. Fortunately, McGuckins carries all the canning supplies you’ll need. To get started canning, these trusted books will take you through the entire process step by step: Food in Jars by Marisa McClellan; Canning for a New Generation by Liana Krissoff; Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving. A final word on canning: because you seal the jars (making them shelf-stable) by placing them in a boiling water bath, the fruits or veggies in the jars will cook. For berry preserves and pickled beets this isn’t a problem but if you prefer a crisp pickled cucumber over a mushy one turn to pickling and fermentation.

PICKLING & FERMENTING Sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi, yogurt, kombucha, sourdough starter and more pickling and the lacto-fermentation process are forgiving, allowing for more creativity. From shredded cabbage to curried cauliflower to pickled peaches, you can ferment or pickle almost anything. Pickling is the art of preserving food using a solution of either acid (vinegar) or salt (brine). Think of fermentation as a type of pickling where the brine encourages the growth of healthy bacteria (kickstarting

CONTINUED > NOVEMBER 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / BO UL D E R

the process of lacto-fermentation which gives that delicious twang) while killing off the bad bacteria. The key to fermentation is salt but there is a wide range of how much is acceptable without throwing off the lacto-fermentation process. And if your fermentation does go bad, it will smell foul and get mushy it won’t secretly poison you like botulism because you will not want to eat it. All you need to start pickling and fermenting is a jar, and some salt, vinegar and spices. Two great books to get you started on your fermentation journey are Wild Fermentation, and The Art of Fermentation, both by Sandor Ellix Katz. The classic beginner recipe for pickling is fresh cucumbers packed in a jar with vinegar, salt, water and spices. You can also add cauliflower, carrots, beets, fennel, onions, radishes, turnips, grapes, rhubarb, squash the list goes on. Once your fruits and veggies are submerged in their jar, place them in the fridge where they can be enjoyed over the next couple of months. Sauerkraut is the place to begin fermenting. Start by thinly slicing cabbage in a large bowl and massaging it with salt until it starts to release its water (creating its own brine). Once you’ve packed your kraut in a glass jar, submerged under its own brine, cover it with cheesecloth and let it sit in a cool, dark corner until it begins to bubble. Once your creation has reached its ideal fermentation, store it in the fridge (because it’s alive!) and enjoy. Final Tip: Boulder County has the longest farmers market season in Colorado, running from April to November. Some farms even offer “seconds”, discounted boxes of produce that are either too small or imperfect for market sale but perfect for honing your food-preserving skills.

For those of you contemplating the switch to an electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid, look no further than Audi Flatirons’ four electric and plug-in hybrid models: The Q4 and Q8 e-trons, RS e-tron GT sedan and Q5 e55. Among Audi's latest electric offerings is the 2024 Q8 e-tron, which provides a seamless transition into the world of electric driving. It’s equipped with two electric motors that deliver allwheel drive and generate up to 402 horsepower, though it may not exhibit the lightning-quick responsiveness seen in some competitors such as the BMW iX, Jaguar I-Pace, or Tesla Model X. For those seeking even more speed, the SQ8 e-tron variant boasts 496 horsepower. Both the standard Q8 e-tron and the sportier Q8 e-tron Sportback come with a battery pack that offers a practical realworld driving range, competitive with other luxury electric SUVs. The Q8 e-tron gets 285 miles per full charge and can be rapidly charged at public charging stations for long-distance travel. While the decision between Q8 e-tron body styles remains a matter of personal preference, the premium trip base option includes 20-inch wheels, adaptive cruise control, an air suspension system, heated front seats with power adjustments, LED headlamps, a panoramic sunroof, four-zone automatic climate control, a heated steering wheel and leather upholstery. Earlier this year, Colorado announced that residents who bought a new electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle after July 1 could

apply for a state tax credit of $5,000. The premium trim starts at a base price of $74,400, placing it well within the range to qualify for the state of Colorado’s EV rebate for cars under $80,000 when leased or financed for a minimum of 24 months. Both the Q4 and Q5 plug-in hybrid models also fall within the price range to qualify for this tax credit. Audi is fully engaged in electric mobility and has plans to introduce 20 new models by 2025, with 10 of them expected to be electric. “Audi's commitment to transforming its global production network into EV-centric facilities demonstrates their dedication to electric mobility,” says Ryan Gruber, general sales manager at Audi Flatirons. “We fully support Audi of America on this electrification journey and offer a diverse selection of EVs available for immediate delivery.” Test drive an electric or hybrid vehicle at Audi Flatirons, 13321 West Midway Boulevard in Broomfield.

Hands made from silicone attached to ropes and pulleys. Long, pink tentacle-like fabric tubes hung from the ceiling and giant, eight-foot parabolic dishes made of stainless steel, inspired by wartime technology. For artist Laura Shill, art takes many forms. (And sometimes, no form at all other than the ephemeral experience of it.) Based in Denver, Laura works across mediums, creating installations and performances that explore themes of isolation and connection, the self and others and the liminal space in between them all–the “presence of absence,” as she puts it. Many of these creations are props for performance–by herself and collaborators, but also the viewers themselves. Take for example Laura’s 2020 installation at MCA Denver. “At the time, the curator knew that we were going to be in the midst of a really contentious presidential election, but we didn't know that it would coincide with a pandemic,” explains Laura. “When you're isolated, it kind of clouds your view of other people. The thing that you need the most becomes the thing you're afraid of the most, which is other people. But I think the foundation of living in a society is caring about other people, so I wondered: ‘Can we create a situation where we make that possible for people in the museum?’” Laura invited visitors to sit across from each other and answer researcher Arthur Aron’s 36 questions that accelerate intimacy. (You may know them from the New York Times’ Modern Love Column, “The 36 Questions That Lead to Love.”) Then the pandemic arrived. “I was like, oh, what we’re proposing is now deadly. But we still wanted to do it. We felt like it was more important than ever. And so the thing that just came to me after months of experimenting with closing the distance between people in a safe way was to make a sculpture that is two 8-foot, parabolic, stainless-steel discs facing each other with their focal points aligned. Essentially, a listening vessel.”

With the creation of this vessel, visitors could sit a great distance apart and yet hear a whisper across the room. “That sculpture emerged out of necessity," Laura says. "That concept emerged out of an attempt to address a critical need in our culture, that we don't have an apparatus for. The government's not going to come in and form a task force to make you less lonely. But art can do that and be in all these places where other things don't make sense.” Today, Laura’s work still centers on these themes, like her latest performance at a private barn in Lafayette which called on the silicone hands she’s been casting from her own hands. She explains she’s been using them to make “simple machines” that move or touch the user in different ways. “One of them has eight silicone hands mounted onto a unicycle turned upside down. And when you pedal it and lean into it, you can pedal it really fast and slap yourself with it, or you can slow it down and apply a really tender touch,” she says. “Now these sculptures have kind of turned into gym equipment.” In the barn performance, Laura and her collaborator, John Lake, move through different circuits of this equipment. “The premise is that we just kind of ignore each other so hard while we're

working on ourselves with these different machine sculptures,” she explains. “And it kind of just feels like two people who are trying really, really hard and just doing everything a little bit wrong. But there’s this thing where we'll sync up at times in the choreography. So even though we're living in such a contrary way to our species, which is very social, and so many people are so very isolated, we almost can't help but fall into these natural rhythms. Almost like the way that a school of fish swims in unison or a f lock of birds will murmurate through the sky.” Laura reflects that, tied into all this is a collective grief, which, in isolation, has nowhere to go. “We've been through a lot in these last few years,” she says. “There's been no process to recognize it or any sort of communal practice or ritual that we've performed to deal with it or acknowledge it. That's where my interest is right now; I've been trying to get my practice into a place of more performance, where there's just that little intimacy, with people gathered in rooms together. There's inherent vulnerability built into that.” To view her work and learn more about upcoming events, visit LauraLeeShill.com.

John Atencio A Life's Legacy in Fine Jewelry ARTICLE BY TONY FIRESTINE PHOTOGRAPHY BY POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER

It all started with a single ring in 1970. John Atencio recounts how it all began when asked about the beginning of his journey into the world of jewelry making, before his countless collections and numerous store locations. “I was an art student at Colorado State University when I took a free university class in the basement of the student center, just getting people started to make jewelry,” he says. “I fell in love with it. I made a ring and I gave it to my girlfriend… and I never stopped. I've been making jewelry ever since.” 53 years later, John Atencio still commits to designing every piece of jewelry by starting with a freehand pencil and paper drawing before bringing his creations to his life. What sets John Atencio's creations apart is not just their design but also the craftsmanship and quality behind them. He insists on using the finest materials, from ethically sourced gemstones to the purest metals. Each piece undergoes meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring that it meets his exacting standards of excellence. It's this commitment to quality that has garnered the trust and admiration of clients worldwide. One of John Atencio's distinguishing features is his ability to create signature collections that transcend time and trends. He describes that each collection tells a unique story. “It's very much

like writing a book,” he says. “Each time that I get started on a new collection it's like turning a page and starting a new chapter.” He goes on to describe that every piece and collection has its own unique attributes and way that they highlight the style of the person wearing them. Distinguishing shapes, avant-garde designs and immaculate finishes all play a role in John Atencio’s signature creations but at the forefront of his designs lie his creativity and passion. “There's always pleasure in trying to find something that's different or new and so I find each collection as significant today as I did when I first started,” says John. “I take it pretty seriously, but I don't take it so seriously that I don't have fun and enjoy the process.” John Atencio's legacy is not confined to the jewelry he creates; it extends to the lives he has touched. His jewelry has become synonymous with milestones, from engagements and weddings to anniversaries and personal achievements. When asked about how his creations have had a significant impact on his clients’ lives, he responds humbly. “The reality is I'm constantly reminded how important jewelry is to people's lives,” he says. “I'm honored that I play the piece in that chain. It's one of the things that's kept me inspired and connected to what I do.”

Beyond his artistic achievements and the lives he’s touched, John Atencio's legacy is also marked by his philanthropic endeavors. He believes in giving back to the communities that have supported his journey. His charitable contributions range from supporting national causes like the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association to local causes supporting children to spearheading initiatives that promote the arts. When asked what advice he can give to those just starting out in the jewelry industry he describes the ebb and flow of his own vast experiences. “Fasten your seatbelts,” he states. “It's difficult but it's a very worthwhile journey. I'm really happy that I'm still doing it after this amount of time.” John Atencio's legacy is a testament to the transformative power of beauty. His endless dedication to craftsmanship, commitment to quality and passion for creativity have set a standard of excellence in the jewelry world. True artistic passion has the power to elevate the human spirit, inspire generations and leave an unforgettable mark. John Atencio's name will always be associated with lasting elegance, artistic inventiveness and the enduring beauty of fine jewelry. JohnAtencio.com
