EDITOR FROM THE Our Teachers
*Originally published in August, 2022
I took a day off recently to go hiking in Nederland with my husband Pat. As we drove through Boulder and up the Canyon toward the trail head, I was struck by a vivid memory. I was in 8th grade traveling in a SuperCab pick-up with several other students and Mr. Gray. Coach Gray. It was the first year that Broomfield Heights Middle School was open and Mr. Gray was our homeroom teacher. He was taking a group of kids to his property in Nederland to go sledding (teachers could do things like that in the 80s). Team building.
Mr. Gray managed the Broomfield Swim and Tennis Club in its early years and he and his kids taught me to swim long before he was my classroom teacher. He was a strong and powerful person, even somewhat imposing, but what I remember most about him was the very gentle interior and that he was often a champion for the underdog. From him I learned fairness and compassion.
The memory caused me to reflect on some of the other teachers who helped shape me. A trio of teachers helped make me a writer. Mrs. Brinker, in the 2nd grade, noted my "talent" and encouraged me to practice it to perfection by being a writer AND a reader every day. Later, in my high school years, Mrs. Babb taught me the importance of clarity in writing and respect for the rules of the English language. Another high school teacher, Mr. King taught me to be brave in my writing, to use my voice to have impact, and that the greatest rewards tend to come with a certain amount of risk.
The first male teacher I ever had, Mr. Terlau (5th grade), taught me to widen my viewpoint through social studies lessons heavily based on real world experiences, including economics.
In the 7th and 8th grades, Mr. Birnberg taught me the value of being informed. Current events were a daily topic in his class and you had better not show up without a firm grasp on the day's headlines.
There were many others, but these teachers were the most significant sculptors in my life.
With the start of school looming, there is a lot of focus on kids and back to school. But please indulge me a moment and join me in giving a nod of respect to our educators. I have been married to one most of my life (Mr. Eichner, 5th grade) and this year our daughter is starting her career as a high school English teacher (go Ms. Eichner). Our other daughter faithfully tutors several students in math each week (thank you Mrs. Mayes). I am proud of all of them.
Thank you to all of our local educators! Your value cannot be overstated. Have a great year ahead.

BUSY FAMILIES
Creating Positive Back to School Emotions
GBy Lisa Payne
oing back to school can bring up a whole mix of emotions for everyone, kids AND parents. For me this fall, I have my youngest starting 8th grade, my twins starting high school, and my oldest is now a senior. Having my firstborn become a senior has my mama heart on an emotional rollercoaster. I don’t know how I will feel day to day. But I do know that I will savor every moment.
As I find my own way through this busy and anxiety driven time, I wanted to share some practices we put in place to help with the stress and anxious feelings that can come on heavy this time of year.
As for the kids, the most important one for me is to use your evening to set the tone for the next day. When we wake up in a panicked state because we weren’t prepared or are running late, it sets the tone for the whole day. Anxiety starts high. The evening prior, set out backpacks, clean out lunch boxes and wash water bottles, have kids plug in chrome books and make sure kids have finished homework for the next day.
Sleep is also important. View your night like you are coming in for a landing by winding down around the same time each evening. Set some rituals that work for each age of your children. Bath time, end screen time, do some yoga stretches together, read, dim the lights and reach your Zen state long before you close your eyes. If you set your stage for high quality sleep, you are likely to wake up in a positive mental state that will keep you calm and happy all day.
For parents, incorporate morning rituals to brighten your day and soothe anxiety. Set your alarm a few minutes early and spend those minutes to enjoy the little things. Feel the comfort of your warm bed, listen to the birds
outside the window, take a few deep breaths, and be grateful for something.
If you can take the time, I am a huge believer in the benefits of meditation first thing in the morning. I think a lot of people are afraid to try because they don’t think they will be good at it. I started off by finding guided meditations on the Calm app or there are many free ones on YouTube. You can Google specific things like stress reduction, work, kids, wisdom, and many others. Silent meditation concentrating on your breath is also powerful. Start with a few minutes and work your way up. You will never look back!
If you aren’t into meditating, try other uplifting things like journaling, playing happy music, reading something positive and motivating, playing with your dog, hydrating your body, moving your body, and ultimately finding anything that brings joy to your world. Check out my recipe article this month for recipes that support energy and positive emotions. These can also be packed into your kids lunches to support them too.
Sending you love and support for your back to school anxiety, and hoping these ideas can turn any stressful feelings into moments of peace and calm.

could not have been more impressed with In Memoriam. The professionalism, attention to detail and overall care and sympathy they showed us in our darkest hours was amazing. They have and still are answering all of our questions as we navigate the loss of our father. The warm boutique type atmosphere was so inviting and comforting compared to other places that tend to be stale and cold. We as a family would highly recommend In Memoriam when you are dealing with some of the hardest times of your life.”
Get Ready to Make a Splash! Exciting Renovation Planned for Broomfield's Bay Aquatic Park
By The City and County of Broomfield
Broomfield's beloved Bay Aquatic Park is getting a major makeover! Originally built in 1991, The Bay has been a popular destination for families and young children for more than three decades.
Since 2012, the park has seen several improvements including the addition of a tube slide, more shade structures and a spray ground, as well as the expansion of and updates to the tot pool, restrooms, and concession area. However, the main pool, slides, and other amenities have experienced wear and tear over time and safety and accessibility standards have evolved.
The Bay Aquatic Park will be undergoing a comprehensive renovation to ensure it continues to be a summer hangout for generations to come.
The renovation will completely remove and replace the main leisure pool, both body slides, the otter racing slides, and the interactive water play structure. While the familiar pool layout will remain, expect some impressive upgrades:
Improved circulation: Navigating the park will be a breeze with better flow around the pool area.
More space to relax: Spread-out and soak up the sun on the additional deck space.
Shady retreats: Escape the heat under new and additional shade structures.
Modern touches: Enjoy a crystal-clear pool with a brand new public address system and lighting.
Safety and accessibility first: The pool will be reconstructed to meet the latest safety standards and prioritize inclusivity with improved accessibility.
New Party Deck
A brand new mechanical building won't just house top-of-the-line filters, pumps, and boilers. It will also feature a reservable "party deck" on the roof – perfect for your next poolside celebration.
Mark your Calendars
The Bay’s 2024 season ends earlier than
normal. The Bay will close for the season on Sunday, August 11. Renovations will begin on Monday, August 12. Construction will continue through winter and spring of 2025. The goal is to reopen the doors to a new and improved Bay Aquatic Park in July 2025.

A Milestone of Hope and Support
A
Precious Child’s Sweet 16 Gala
By Missy Ruzicka
APrecious Child is a Colorado-based nonprofit organization founded in Broomfield, dedicated to providing children in need with opportunities and resources to empower them to achieve their full potential. This year, the organization celebrates a significant milestone with its Sweet 16 Gala. The annual event has grown to become one of the most anticipated charity galas in the region, bringing together community leaders, philanthropists, and supporters to celebrate the organization's achievements and raise crucial funds for its ongoing programs.
Born out of a desire to address the needs of children facing poverty, abuse, and neglect, A Precious Child’s vision was to create a comprehensive organization that could provide not only basic essentials such as clothing and school supplies but also programs and services aimed at long-term empowerment and success. Over the years, A Precious Child has expanded its reach, serving thousands of children and their families throughout the Colorado front range.
A Precious Child offers various Cradle to Career Initiatives to support children and families. Clients of A Precious Child are able to shop at the Empowerment Resource Center,
which provides holistic services at no cost with essentials like clothing, food, and baby supplies, helping families allocate resources to crucial living expenses. Fill A Backpack provides brand-new backpacks and school supplies to students in need so they can start the school year with confidence. Their Opportunity Fund Programs fund arts, sports activities and equipment, and educational tools like computers and tutoring, fostering self-expression and a sense of normalcy. Mentorship for youth development and workforce readiness programs prepare youth to be positive, contributing members of society. Highly anticipated is their Precious Gift program, which provides much-dreamed-about holiday gifts and wrapping paper so parents may wrap their children’s gifts with dignity.
At the heart of the Sweet 16 Gala will be the organization’s fundraising efforts. The live auction will feature an array of exclusive items and experiences, from luxury vacations to sports memorabilia, generating enthusiastic bidding and generous donations. The silent auction, accessible through a user-friendly mobile platform, will offer additional opportunities for guests to contribute. Last year’s Gala saw 600 participants raise more than $700,000. This year, the goal is to welcome 1,000 guests and raise $1 million to support children and families in need.
On Saturday, September 7, A Precious Child will celebrate a momentous occasion in its history with the Sweet 16 Gala at the elegant Sheraton Denver Downtown Hotel. The delightful event benefiting Colorado kids will feature a cocktail reception, gourmet dinner, live and silent auctions, and inspiring speeches from beneficiaries and community leaders. Guests will enjoy a visual journey through A Precious Child's 16-year history, highlighting key milestones and success stories.
The Sweet 16 Gala's success is expected to be a testament to the community's unwavering support and belief in the transformative power of A Precious Child's work. As the organization looks to the future, it does so with a renewed sense of purpose and a steadfast commitment to making a difference in the lives of children and families across Colorado and our local community.

Foods to Support Positive Feelings
By Lisa Payne
Back to school is here and we all could use some comfort in the form of food. Not only do we have to think about school lunches again, but we need to make sure we are taking care of ourselves with food that nourishes our energy and sets our mind to being balanced and strong.
Foods that stimulate anxious feelings and weaken your immune function include caffeine, sugar, and processed foods.
Foods that calm your energy include squash, warm tea, spices like turmeric, ginger and cinnamon, red vegetables, soups and stews, organic nuts, and root vegetables.
Here are recipes that can be put in a thermos for your kids school lunches and also be warmed up quickly when you need a fast lunch or dinner.

Broomfield Community Players Bring Steel Magnolias to Audi Stage
By Bette Erickson
Originally premiering in 1987 at the WPA Theatre in New York City, the play “Steel Magnolias” by Robert Harling has since been adapted into two films. And now, for the first time, the production is coming to town courtesy of the Broomfield Community Players. The comedy-drama takes place in Truvy’s beauty parlor in small town Chinquapin, Louisiana. The story follows a group of Southern women working at the shop, highlighting the women’s bonds and the strength that is at the root of their banter.
“The title evokes thoughts of the beauty and slower pace of southern life, especially southern women, who may appear to be delicate flowers but have the toughness and steely resolve you only begin to understand when you sit and listen for a while maybe on a front porch or maybe in a beauty salon,” explained BCP “Steel Magnolias” director, Jo Ramsey.
When asked why she chose this play for BCP’s next project, Ms. Ramsey replied, “The beauty of this show brought tears to my eyes when I first read it in 1987 and I resolved to direct it one day. However, as a high school theatre teacher, always looking for shows that provided equity and encouraged program development in our theatre, a show with a cast of six women didn’t seem to be the best choice,” she explained. “Now, as a community theatre director, the
“Steel Magnolias” Russ Ramsey serves as producer, set designer, and technical director and Joanne Ramsey is the director. Courtesy photo

time has come to produce this sweet, powerful show.”
Russ Ramsey is the producer. “Aside from my ability to work with a remarkable and gifted producer - who is also the set designer and technical director - the fact that we live together provides ample opportunities to design, plan, create, and problem solve together,” Ms. Ramsey said.
The duo hope attendees will get a glimpse into the charm and beauty of small town, southern living in the mid-1980s.
“These women will make you laugh out loud and quietly cry because they are real and living lives only true friends can. More importantly, we have the opportunity to share in the deep bond that is, perhaps, particularly female,” added Ms. Ramsey.
An interesting tidbit about this Broomfield “Steel Magnolias” production is that the budget for the show is $9,000. However, the majority of the budget is spent on rental of the Audi, rehearsal space rental, and licensing fees to do this show. When that is deducted, BCP has about $3,300 to produce the show.
Anyone who’s been to a Broomfield Community Players performance knows the group does a fantastic job with the resources available to them.
“This show provides the opportunity to highlight the amazing talent, onstage and off, that we are privileged to enjoy in Broomfield and surrounding communities, as well as telling a story that is touching on so many levels,” Ms. Ramsey explained. “The strong bond among these women will draw you in and you will leave the theatre feeling you have six new friends.”

Tickets are $25 for adults and $22 for students and seniors.

Golf Tournament, Car Show Benefit Broomfield Seniors in Need
By Kristen Beckman
Senior Resources of Broomfield (SRB) is busy preparing for its two primary fundraising events – the Broomfield Days Car Show and the Broomfield Days Golf Tournament – both coming up in September. These community-favorite events are crucial for providing the funding SRB needs for its programs that benefit seniors in the community.
“We rely on our two biggest fundraisers to help fund our programs like Meals on Wheels and EasyRide,” said Teryl Fabry, executive director of SRB. “The needs have really climbed, especially since COVID, and we've been trying to help fill in the gaps for the city. We haven't gotten the donations that we usually do.”
Fabry said community members and businesses can help SRB by participating in the events or purchasing one of several
sponsorships. Organizers also are accepting donated items for giveaways.
The golf tournament is scheduled to take place Saturday, September 14, at Eagle Trace Golf Club. Individual playing spots are $150, or a foursome can register for $600. Breakfast and coffee will be available starting at 8:00 a.m. and lunch and prizes will be handed out at 1:00 p.m. Women's teams are encouraged to join the event. Corporate, team, business, and family sponsorships are available ranging from $100 to $1,500, which includes recognition at the event and other benefits.
The annual car show, now in its 21st year, takes place Saturday, September 21, from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during Broomfield Days. All years, makes, and models are welcome, and visitors will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite vehicle.
Sponsorships range from $100 for a family sponsorship up to $5,000 for a diamond VIP sponsorship package, which includes recognition, exhibitor space, room to display three vehicles,
and a trophy. Even though Broomfield Days booth space is sold out, some of the sponsorships at the car show provide great visibility and foot traffic adjacent to the festival. Early registration for the car show, which includes a logo on the event t-shirt, ends August 31, but registration will remain open until the day of the event.
SRB tries to make the car show a fun and easy event for seniors to attend.
“We partner with the City of Broomfield to pick up seniors who register early and set up chairs in front of
Nativity Church for them,” said Fabry, who noted that the car show has become a staple of the Broomfield community over the years. “We have donuts, coffee, water, and shade for them, and if they want to walk around the car show, we have volunteers that will walk around with them.”
Established in 1982, SRB is a nonprofit, 501(c) (3) organization addressing the needs of Broomfield's older adults. SRB assists Broomfield’s senior citizens in a variety of ways, including supporting Meals on Wheels, paying for meal fees at Lakeshore Cafe at the Broomfield Community Center, paying for free meals through the Project Homecoming hospital release and recovery program, funding the Healthy Hearts lunch once a month, and providing lunch and a goodie bag for seniors celebrating their birthday at Lakeshore Cafe.

Marshall Mesa Trail Ideal For All Ages
By Bette Erickson
Aserene and scenic valley showcase that I like to hike and snowshoe when I get the opportunity, is nearby Marshall Mesa. Home to the first coal mining activity between 1860 and continuing through the 1930s, the town site that was once called Marshall provided coal for heating, railroads, and steam engines.
At one time, Marshall had 900 residents and boasted three saloons.
An added attraction to hiking Marshall Mesa is that it is one of few properties in Boulder County that allows equestrians.
To begin this outing, start from the Marshall Mesa Trailhead, following the Marshall Valley Trail east (left) for just less than a mile as it leads you to Community Ditch. Cross over the footbridge and head right, following the Community Ditch
footpath about a mile and a half to where it meets Hwy 93. It's along this stretch of trail that visitors get the best view of the expansive Front Range.
Eventually, taking a sharp right, follow this serene path for about another half mile back to the parking lot.
This now-quiet area of old Marshall housed several coal mines called Black Diamond, Eagle, High View, Pine Cliff, Rocky Flats, and Mine No. 3.
Because of an incredible unobstructed view, the mountains to the west along the Front Range stand tall and seemingly daunting.The route described here is a pretty easy outing, popular with casual visitors.
Bette Erickson is the author of several hiking books. She writes about people, places, and events. Contact her at bette_erickson@hotmail.com.
To the trailhead: The Marshall Mesa Trailhead is located to the east of the intersection of Hwy 93 and Marshall Rd. Access Marshall Rd. that leads west past Costco in Superior. The road ends at the trailhead on your left before the stoplight.
Distance: 2.65-mile loop
Dogs: Yes, on leash
Difficulty: Easy
Elevation gain: Negligible
Horses: Yes
Fee: $5 for cars not registered in Boulder County, although at the time of publication, Boulder is waiving this fee.
Jurisdiction: City of Boulder 303-441-3440

By Kristen Beckman
FRIENDS of Broomfield, Inc is a local nonprofit providing unique, engaging services for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The event has a special theme this year: Barbie and FRIENDS Luncheon & Fashion Show.
“We were drawn to this theme because, like Barbie, we tell the men and women of FRIENDS You Can Be Anything you want to be,” said Gina Coufal, founder and CEO of FRIENDS. “They can hold careers, have a social life, travel, live on their own, and most importantly, live meaningful and fulfilling lives.”
Participants will light up the runway for the fun-filled fashion show with styles provided by Dillards. You may also see a few of your favorite Barbie movie characters.
“I love the fashion show; it is so much fun!” said past and present FRIENDS fashion show model Keira. “It's a great way to highlight all our different personalities, and the Barbie theme really showcases that.”
The event takes place at 11 a.m. on August 11 at the Chateaux at Fox Meadows. FRIENDS hopes to raise $60,000 through the event, which will support its many programs.

Unites Community in Passion for Reading With Adult and
Youth Book Selections
By Missy Ruzicka
Ask any teacher, one of the joys of their job is when students bond over a beloved fictional character. Each student sees the character a little differently, each from their point of view, but it’s the discussions that follow that show how the love of reading can bring us closer as humans. Our very own Broomfield library understands those feelings and knows that even if the whole community falls in love with the same book, we all love it for different reasons and we enjoy coming together to talk about our favorite parts and share those emotions brought on by words written on a page.
Since its inception in 2002, One Book One Broomfield has become a cherished tradition that unites the Broomfield community through the power of literature. The annual program encourages residents to read the same book and participate in a series of events and discussions, fostering a shared cultural experience. The 2024 selection, Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt, promises to captivate readers with its heartwarming and whimsical tale, while the One Book Junior program has engaged younger audiences with Grace Lin’s enchanting novel, Where the Mountain Meets the Moon.
Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures has captivated readers nationwide with its enchanting narrative and unique perspective. The story revolves around Tova Sullivan, a widow who finds solace and a renewed sense of purpose while working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. Her unlikely friendship with Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus with a penchant for escaping his enclosure, leads to a series of revelations about her past. Through humor, heart, and a touch of magic, Remarkably Bright Creatures explores themes of friendship, loss, and the healing power of connection, reminding us all of the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places.
When asked about the reasons behind the program’s enduring
success, Director Kathryn Lynip explained “One Book One Broomfield is all about community connecting over a shared love of reading – the titles are selected by a committee of Broomfield residents then voted on by our community. Because of this there is an added level of excitement and investment into this program. The process brings people together and the culminating author talk is an exciting way to celebrate our shared efforts putting together the event.”
The One Book One Broomfield program will conclude in a highly anticipated author talk by Shelby Van Pelt on November 7, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. in the Broomfield Auditorium. The event, like all One Book One Broomfield events, is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Last year’s author talk featuring David Grann, the acclaimed author of Killers of the Flower Moon, attracted an impressive audience of 500 community members.
This year’s selections, Remarkably Bright Creatures for adults and Where the Mountain Meets the Moon for young readers, promise to inspire, entertain, and unite our community. Whether you are an avid reader or someone looking to connect with your neighbors, there is something for everyone in this year’s One Book One Broomfield program.

People Before Property:
Inside NMFRD’s Citizens Academy
By Bette Erickson
“We prioritize people over property,” he said to us. The North Metro Fire Rescue District (NMFRD) firefighter was instructing the citizens academy group on how to scope out a burning residential structure. It was meeting number seven of our seven-week NMFRD Citizens Academy.
“Focus on keeping yourself safe and searching for people that may be in distress,” he explained. The diverse group of 19 participants from the north Denver metro area learned about the district’s personnel, operations, training, finances, services, and facilities in an interactive and fun format. It was NMFRD’s fourth Citizens Academy.
Our group consisted of a couple community college students to retired senior citizens and everyone in-between.
North Metro Fire Rescue District, formerly known as West Adams County Fire Protection District, was officially established by volunteer firefighters in November 1946. Throughout the decades, NMFRD has successfully evolved and grown, staffed by professional firefighters serving Broomfield and Northglenn and five counties.
Following is a bit of what the Citizens Academy offered: Session one was March 26 at the NMFRD Administrative Headquarters at 101 Spader Way in Broomfield. This is where the group met for most of the Citizens Academy trainings. The evening started with introductions from Chief David Ramos, Chief Financial Officer Lisa Willis, Life Safety Education Officer Pam Kutchen, and Community Risk Reduction Specialist Josh Hamilton. Pam and Josh were our leaders throughout, and they are truly experts in their fields. Plus, they are both remarkably personable. That night we learned that the fire district serves some 126,000 residents with seven fire stations. The group played a rousing game of “The Price is Right,” trying to guess the extreme costs of the various fire service equipment and apparatus.

“I enjoyed learning the various aspects of NMFRD’s services,” explained participant Suen Huang. “My favorite parts of the Academy were the hands-on experiences.”
Session two was April 2 and we learned hands-only CPR, how to “stop the bleed,” and specifics of applying a tourniquet. We watched instructional videos and discussed scenarios under the guidance of EMS Chief Mark Daugherty and instructor Neil Meach.
My takeaway from that evening was a useful trivia question: How many liters of blood does an adult human body have? Answer: 6.5-liters.
Did you know that, like policing, there is a shortage of firefighters? As of April we were told there are 120 NMFRD firefighters, 30 are on the hazmat team, some 60 or so are EMTs and 95 are paramedics. In 2022, the fire district responded to 16,862 calls, of which 11,267 were EMS (emergency medical services) calls.
Weeks three, four and five had us learning about the importance of community risk reduction and emergency preparedness, including touring the police dispatch center. We also had the opportunity to learn about (and use) auto extrication tools after watching firefighters demonstrate. In addition, we heard from a North Metro firefighter who specializes in hazardous materials (hazmat) containment, evacuation, and minimization of long-term effects of hazardous material incidents.
Session six we met the district’s Division Chief of Fire Prevention
Steve Gosselin who spoke about what his division does to protect residents and businesses. The district’s lead Fire Investigator, Wayne Belohlavy, explained common causes of fires and how to properly use a fire extinguisher for small, contained fires. We then went outside to practice putting out large fires. A couple of wildland firefighters spoke to the participants about being deployed throughout Colorado and the western United States and the attendant dangers.
Finally, at our last session on May 4 we met at the training center on Weld County Road in Northglenn. Under the supervision of Battalion Chief Rob Morris, during this meeting we had the incredible experience of getting handson with the same props and exercises that firefighters use to train and keep up their skills. Climbing, crawling, carrying heavy hoses, putting out a car fire – it was all quite daunting to this participant. But as always, fun and informative.
Perhaps Suen Huang summed it up best, “It was a wonderful and enriching experience – I am better equipped in certain safety and life-saving situations and highly recommend this dynamic program.”

Back to School Safety Tips for A Safe Arrival
The beginning of the school year is an exciting time for children. After a long summer break, North Metro Fire Rescue District wants to remind families of the following safety tips to make sure they have a good start to the school year.
Riding the Bus to School
School buses are the safest mode of transportation for getting children back and forth to school, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. However, the greatest risk is not riding the bus, but approaching or leaving the bus. There are tips you should go over with your child to ensure their safe arrival to school.
While waiting on the bus to arrive, have your child stand at least three giant steps (six feet away) from the curb.
Make sure your child waits until the bus stops and the door opens before approaching the bus.
If your child has to cross the street to get to or from the bus, teach him or her to always look both ways for traffic and to walk several feet in front of the bus, so the bus driver can see him or her.
When getting off the bus, teach your child to wait for the bus driver’s signal before crossing in front of the bus.
If your child drops something near the bus, have them inform the bus driver first before picking up the item. This prevents the driver from putting the bus into motion without seeing your child is safely away from the bus.
Biking or Walking to School
Whether you are accompanying your child to school or not, it’s important to go over these safety tips together before the beginning of school.
Prior to school starting, practice riding or walking the route to school with your child.
Dress children to be seen by motorists. Have them wear brightly colored clothes and reflective gear. Also, have them wear a protective helmet.
Check your child’s bike for safety, including the tire pressure, brakes, and chain. Put reflective gear on the bike as well.
Teach your child to be aware of his/her surroundings when cycling to school, including cars coming in and out of driveways, listening for traffic, and keeping an eye on the pavement for obstructions and potholes.
Remind your child to follow traffic laws, properly signal traffic at intersections and to stay on the right side of the road if there isn’t an off-street path to ride on. At intersections, remind your child to be extra cautious by stopping and checking traffic before proceeding.

Ensuring a Safe Summer Pregnancy
By Chloe Dean, Communications & Public Relations Manager, AdventHealth
This summer has been one of the warmest that Colorado has experienced in years. It can certainly be extra uncomfortable and challenging if you’re expecting a little one and have been trying to beat the heat. AdventHealth Avista Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Meagann Little has some great advice on how to stay safe and cool while we are in the dog days of summer!
Meagann Little
Taking a trip to your local pool is the perfect way to stay cool during a heat wave. “Being in the water is the best way to be comfortable in the heat this summer (besides being inside in the AC),” said CNM, Meagann Little. “It’s a great place to exercise when pregnant and relieves pressure on the joints and pelvis.”
Another safe and comfortable way you can stay active this summer is by walking in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are a bit lower and more bearable. “A walk after dinner is very healthy and can help with digestion while decreasing symptoms like heartburn,” said Meagann.
A few common complaints that Meagann often hears from momsto-be during the summertime is around swelling and Braxton Hicks contractions. “Both of these are common symptoms of pregnancy in the heat and can be related to dehydration,” said Meagann. “Dehydration is one of biggest risks of being pregnant in the heat. Ideally, pregnant women should shoot for 64 to 96 ounces of water a day and leaning toward the
higher end when experiencing heat and or sweating. Use your urine as a guide of your hydration status. The darker the amber color, the less hydrated you are likely to be.”
A great beverage option to ensure optimal hydration is coconut water, as it is a natural electrolyte-rich drink that can help replenish fluids and minerals lost through sweating.
Swelling during pregnancy is common any time of year but can be made even worse by the hot temperatures. “Compression stocking are a great way to decrease inflammation and pain with swelling in the lower extremities,” said Meagann. “Drinking enough and eating hydrating foods is another way you can reduce swelling.” Some great fruits and veggies that can help you hydrate naturally are watermelon, cucumber, pineapple, peaches, and tomatoes!
Dressing for the heat during pregnancy can be challenging. Try and choose loose fitting and breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or bamboo fabric to help keep cool. Light colors are better than dark colors at reflecting sunlight. Don’t forget accessories such as wide-brimmed hats or baseball caps which can help to keep your face shaded from the sun. Comfortable shoes such as supportive flats or low-heeled sandals are great options to avoid exacerbating swelling and discomfort for your feet.
“Listen to your body. If you feel overheated get into the closest cool environment either inside or in the shade,” said Meagann. “Using a cold cloth or peppermint oil to the back of the neck can help you feel cooler faster. Braxton Hicks are common in the heat but if you are experiencing painful contractions, feel decreased fetal movement, start leaking fluid or have bleeding, don’t hesitate to contact your OB provider.”
Whether you’re going to enjoy a local farmers market, spend time gardening in your backyard, or going to an outdoor sporting event like a Colorado Rockies game, we hope this advice helps you enjoy all the best parts of summertime while helping keep you and your baby comfortable and safe.
