HOMEBUILDER NEW TO STATE STARTS IN WATER VALLEY

BY PAUL HUGHES

Homes will build its first Colorado community T rumark in Martin Lind’s Water Valley.

Its Pelican Shores project is planned for 59 homes from 2,200 to 3,750 square feet starting near $800,000, a press release said. Fifty-one interior lots are 3,700 square feet; eight lakefront lots are 4,600 square feet. Models go up in January.

California-based Trumark Homes Colorado LLC filed paperwork with the secretary of state in July listing a Greenwood Village base; it formally announced the new division in September. This is its first project.

Pelican Shores is a nub of land set out from the intersection of New Liberty Road and Seventh Street, across Lake Water Valley from Pelican Lakes Golf Course.

“We call it our bottle of wine,” Martin Lind said of Pelican Shores. “We wanted to open it last.”

JuMa is a blend of Justin and Marissa Donahoo’s first names.

Justin is CEO and a former project manager for Lind’s Water Valley Land Co. LLC; Marissa is Lind’s daughter.

He said JuMa was mulling whether to go more toward production homes and opted out.

“The production side of construction is pretty difficult right now” with logistics issues, Lind said. “JuMa is going to go more pure-custom and get out of that risk.”

Trumark launched as a residential and commercial developer in the 1980s and 90s, adding homebuilding and master-planning over the past 10 to 12 years. A U.S. affiliate of Japan-based Daiwa House Group in 2020 bought 60% of the former Trumark Homes LLC from owners Gregg Nelson and Mike Maples. At the time it had 95 employees and had sold an average of 435 homes a year for the previous three.

The enclave includes 70 homes; 11 lots are set for semi-custom work from JuMa Homes LLC based in Windsor. Nine of those are Rendering of a model’s kitchen for Trumark’s 59-unit project at Pelican Shores. built or under construction. (Courtesy/Trumark Homes) 6 | mywindsor | NOVEMBER 2021

food | HOLIDAY RECIPES

Fall Family Recipes to Brighten Your Holidays

BY SHELLEY WIDHALM

T

raditional holiday dinners might feature turkey, ham or some kind kii of chicken entrée with sides like stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, squash, candied carrots and cranberry sauce.

Despite my kitchen kii hesitation, I treasure the recipe cards since they’re in my mother’s handwriting, and they are special recipes passed down from her mother to her and on to me (she has just one daughter, so where else would they go?).

The tradition can be more exciting by bringing in family recipes based on the typical holiday fare but with a twist. tw w

Two of the recipes are for potatoes, one is for stuffing and two tw w are for desserts (which, I believe, is the most important part of any meal). Then there are two tw w more recipes from the editor, Party Mashed Potatoes (I like parties!) and the Favorite Family Fruit Salad.

In my family, we have turkey for Thanksgiving and ham for Christmas, but then our sides are simply amazing given all the extra flavors, seasonings and spices. My mother, knowing that the kitchen kii is a foreign environment for me, set me up with dozens of family recipes on recipe cards in all the food categories, just in case I can figure out how to use mix ixing x bowls and such.

8 | mywindsor | NOVEMBER 2021

My family recipes don’t include serving sizes, but they’re pretty much for a family of four (I have a brother). Also note that my mother is into Cool Whip.

The first recipe is for twice-baked tw w potatoes (which I will have someone else make, since maki king i something once is hard enough). (Recipes continue on page 10)

business | ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT

Mark it down as a W; the first entertainment district in Windsor is open. (Harrison Cunningham/High Hops Brewery)

TRIO OF BUSINESS SES FORM FIRST ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT IN WINDSOR

BY PAUL HUGHES

T

he owner of three related food and retail businesses in the city secured state licensing for an entertainment district centered around their operations.

Patrick and Amanda Weakland founded and own The Windsor Gardener, High Hops Brewery and The Heart Distillery. The first, a gardening and nursery shop, also lets them grow ingredients for beers and spirits sold by the other two. All three are in one place.

The brewery and distillery were the first of those types of businesses in Windsor, opening in 2012 and 2018. The entertainment district has been dubbed ‘The W’.

“We’re under one roof, so it makes sense to commingle,” said Zach Weakland, Patrick’s and Amanda’s son, who heads brewing and distilling.“For the past three years, we’ve had to have complete separation between beer and spirits.”

State regulations limit alcohol consumption to the restaurant or bar where it was bought; an entertainment district allows multiple locations selling alcohol to share

12 | mywindsor | NOVEMBER 2021

space where patrons can more freely move about with their drinks.

Entertainment districts must be sought by private owners, have between 20,000 square feet and 100 acres of space among the liquor-licensed entities, and receive local and state approval.

Zach Weakland said The W has just over the minimum and “a few acres of common consumption space.” Food trucks come on weekends to expand offerings.

Windsor’s director of economic development, Stacy Miller, said The W gives the flexibility to move around and mingle and could work for group events.

She’s also president of the Northern Colorado chapter of Commercial Real Estate Women network, which has booked its “Hops and Headshots” event at The W this month. © BizWest Media LLC

A Little Less Stress for your Holidays

BY MATTHEW VAN DEVENTER MARKETING FEATURE

L

ooking for the perfect space for this season's holiday soiree?

Perhaps you're planning a winter wedding or are looking to place your company's Christmas party. The Mason's Event Center may be just the spot. Plus, they are offering a 20 percent discount through the end of 2021 and 10% off in 2022.

Located in the heart of downtown Greeley at 829 10th Avenue just across the street from Lincoln Park,The Mason's Event Center is a beautifully historic building that recently had a near one million dollar face lift thanks to a couple of Greeley locals who wanted to preserve the building.

"It's just gorgeous," said building co-owner Dr. Maurice Lyons who is also a heart surgeon and better known as "Moe". "This event center is as nice as any other you've seen in Northern Colorado."

The Greeley Grand Masons owned the building but were struggling to keep up with it financially including the more than $12,000 in annual upkeep costs.They were having trouble finding a buyer and the City of Greeley wouldn't take off their hands either.

Dr. Lyons' Physician Assistant who was the head Mason at the time, proposed Lyons take over the building. Lyons and his business partner Dr. Christopher Michael, a cardiac aenesthesiologist, bought the building in 2015 for $100,000, which went to the Shriners.

However, they soon realized the project was much bigger than they had anticipated.

Architect Willam N. Bowman built the Greeley Masonic Temple in 1927 and Lyons and Michael sought to maintain as much of the two-story building's historic charm as they possibly could despite having to gut it. With the help of Landmark Builders Inc., they gradually updated the structure. Improvements included significant asbestos mitigation, new plumbing, new electrical, installing an elevator, and bringing it up to ADA compliance.

(Photos courtesy of Mason's Event Center) 14 | mywindsor | NOVEMBER 2021

Lyons said his favorite part is the upstairs, where they kept train trusses that holdup the roof and he commented on the beautiful wood floors.

All together the doctors cashflowed about $850,000 of their own money in renovations over three years. Because the building is listed on the National and State Registry of Historic Places, Lyons and Michael took advantage of $300,000-$400,000 available to them in tax credits. Lyons said they may not have been able to do the job they did without those credits: "Now it's just a beautiful building."

Once it was complete they held events for about three months, and then had to shut down for nine months due to the pandemic.

However,they've been steadily seeing more and more business since opening back up late last year, hosting about three or four events every month from corporate parties to weddings and quinceneares.

They are even flexible for smaller, more regular groups. For example some cornhole enthusiasts get together once a week to toss the bean bags around and enjoy the upstairs bar.

Lyons said it's best to book your event sooner than later if you're looking for prime time spots like Fridays and Saturdays. Debra Nelson is their event planner and coordinates everything for their guests, Lyons said.

The second floor holds 250 people and runs $3,500 an event and the lower floor hosts 100 people at $2,500.The entire building can be rented for $5,000 and they usually just hold one party at a time.

Lyons boasts a superb sound system on both floors. It was installed

by Michael's brother, a two-time Emmy winning sound engineer.

Catering is left up to local establishments to bring food and refreshments in.The list of vendors they work with is on the website and include Aunt Helen's Coffee House, Coyotes Southwestern Grill, Gourmet Grub and Kenny's Steakhouse among others.

As for alcohol, the business does have its own liquor license, but patrons cannot bring in their own beverages. Nelson owns and operates Mixology and can cater the adult beverage side of any event.

business | COMPANY GROWTH

WINDSOR INSURANCE BROKERAGE ADDS PARTNER, PLANS GROWTH

BY PAUL HUGHES

R

enaissance Insurance Group LLC has added industr y veteran T. Scott Kennedy as a partner.

He’s marked out Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming as targets for a Renaissance office, and “maybe to New Mexico, Arizona and Utah.”

The company will also, “write a lot more business in Denver.”

Kennedy was most recently president and CEO of Phoenix-based The Mahoney Group. He’s also worked for McGriff in San Diego and was president and chief operating officer of CCIG in Greenwood Village.

Founding partners and majority owners Jay Helzer and Ryan Hicks started Renaissance in 2001. It’s grown each year since, including by 10% in each of the last five years, Kennedy said.

Northern Colorado w il l become a hub, he said, with organic growth supplemented by acquisition.

“A regional agency with national reach,” he reiterated. Renaissance is seen, he said, “as a nice, reliable, transparent, honest, homegrown, independent” agency, so we need to “get out there with nonprofits and chambers of commerce, be more recognized” and tell that story.

T Scott Kennedy

“We want to at least double that growth curve,” he said. “Most of our business is within a hundred miles of Windsor. We’re going to be a regional company with a national footprint.”

He said the agency is staffed by people who grew up in Northern Colorado and its “platform will prove to be a solid foundation to exponentially grow our firm.”

Renaissance works in commercial, agriculture and personal lines of insurance. Kennedy’s mandate is to grow each of the 15 specialty insurance areas the company covers now and add a few new ones, such as transportation and employee benefits.

He said he helped CCIG grow from 16 workers to more than 100 in 15 years, with revenue increasing 650%. He was twice named a COO of the year by the Denver Business Journal and has crafted leadership-development programs at companies.

Generally, the company also plans to “add risk management and claims staff over the next two years” as well as client executives.

Renaissance employs 23, including eight brokers, five of whom are partners.

“We’ve built cultures, found the right people,” at previous agencies, he said.

“We’re always going to be hiring,” he said.

Another focus: insurance for high-net-worth clients, a client base in which Kennedy has prior experience.

Kennedy invested in Renaissance as part of being named partner. Renaissance added longtime company brokers Scott Runyan and Erich Ehrlich as partners in 2019.

Adding and expanding types of insurance and areas of service will be coupled with additional offices and a deeper dive into insurance technology.

In 2019, it joined Texas-based Combined Agents of America, a consortium of 70 independent insurance brokerages in eight states.

The group combines premiums from members to bring insurance companies larger volume commitments, and to generate vendor discounts and other incentives.

“Insurance as an industry is not very tech savvy,” he said, noting private equity investments in startups to close that gap in, for example, marketing. “A lot of agents aren’t paying attention to it, and we plan to.”

Chill Potz then glazes and fires it for you to pick up ready to gift, or maybe keep for yourself.

“We do ornaments, old-time trees, old-time trucks and more.We have tons of different ornaments and other holiday stuff. We’re going to do a lot of hand-building this season.

We can help you hand build and make your own ornaments and small little trees,” Fuentez says.

Hand-building in pottery means creating pottery without a pottery wheel using just your hands.

Fuentez says they may plan to have ornament classes this year, and for Thanksgiving, they plan to do handprint turkey plates. Last year they hosted a Christmas ornament class in November.They rolled out clay and asked registered customers to bring their favorite cookie cutters to create one-of-a-kind ornaments. They also had a hand-building gnome class.

“For Christmas, we may have a kid’s class or event where kids can make something for their parents,” says Fuentez.

If you don’t have time to stop in, you can pick up a to-go basket to create at home. Shopping local and small businesses means you won’t end up buying the same department store gift or Amazon Prime special for your mom as your sister did.

Create something to be cherished for ages like one family did this summer with Chill Potz when they had a custom bowl made with their handprints cut from clay.

Other gift ideas include serving platters, coffee mugs, tiny light-up trees, soap dishes and even cute little Yeti figurines. Not what you’re looking for? They have snack plates, cookie jars, flower pots, figurines, coasters, piggy banks, yarn bowls, salt and pepper shakers, vases and more. If all else fails, a gift card can fit the bill for anyone on your

list, although it might not be quite as treasured as something you handmade yourself.

If you’re looking to have a holiday party, Chill Potz can host your holiday gathering.

“In the past, we’ve had businesses come in and get together. They bring their food and drinks and just come in as a group and paint.

We do all the setup and cleanup,” Fuentez says. “We can hosst family get-togethers, busine ss gettogethers and birthday parrties.”

For more information including operating hours, class schedules and more, call 970-388-1581 visit www.chillpotz.com, or www.facebook.com/ ChillPotzPaintYoutOwnPottery.

“You say you can’t paaint?

Yes, you can. Art comes froom within and every piece is beautiful.”

Their slogan is: “B e Creative. Be Chill. Pain nt Pottery.”

Hospice or Palliative Care UNDERSTANDING THE TWO CARE PATHWAYS

BY EMILY KEMME MARKETING FEATURE

are two tw w words about which not much thought is T hey given until you or a loved one needs them. Hospice

and palliative care are unique medical pathways defined by whether an illness is life-limiting or end-of-life.

Each spring, Banner Hospice holds a butterfly release to remember loved ones. (Photo courtesy of Banner Hospice of Northern Colorado) 20 | mywindsor | NOVEMBER 2021

Dr. Michelle Brassil, a Banner Health palliative medicine doctor, acknowledges that the distinction can be confusing.“We like to use this: all hospice is palliative in nature, but not all palliative care is hospice.”

Defining Palliative Care According to Brassil, palliative care is a medical specialty that helps anyone with a serious illness; it addresses a patient’s needs from diagnosis through end of life. Care is provided through a team approach, most commonly a hospice and palliative-trained physician, nurse practitioners, social work personnel and a spiritual care provider.

“We’re trying to give a person as good quality of life as possible through management of physical symptoms and psycho-social dynamics. This includes helping make decisions with medical care,” Brassil said.

supporting caregivers who are helping the patient along their care journey.

Palliative care can last for years; it’s however long a person is living with a serious illness and is impacted by it, Brassil said.

The care pathway takes place in various settings, including in-patient hospital treatment, outpatient clinic settings and home-based visits, either in a private residence or nursing facility.

The cost is covered by private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid.

An example could be a patient with heart failure, a life-limiting condition with varying severity.

The process continues after a death.

“Palliative care helps manage symptoms while [the patient] is getting treatment from cardiology. They aren’t hospiceeligible: that requires a prognosis of six months or less to the disease’s conclusion,” Brassil explained.

“Realizing that even though a person isn’t here, we still have a relationship with them through loss,” Miller said.

What does a hospice pathway mean?

To find out whether Hospice or Palliative Care is right for you or a loved one:

But if a patient has severe heart failure with a doctor’s determination that the person has six months or less to live, they would be hospice-eligible.

Even so, hospice services are inherently palliative in nature: the goal is to optimize quality of life and help someone live as well as possible for as long as possible.

“Hospice exists because we live in a culture where we don’t want to address grief; we put death behind closed doors and live in an ‘I’m ok’culture.We don’t want to hear about difficult days,” Banner Hospice of Northern Colorado bereavement coordinator Julie Miller said.

Miller’s job is to step in and address the hard questions, which may include helping patients review the positive and difficult things they’ve dealt with in their lives. She counsels about anticipatory grief, existential issues and accepting chronic or terminal illnesses.

As a counselor, Miller also works with patient’s families, providing post-caregivers bereavement support for 13 months on how to move forward in life without a loved one.

“Acknowledging an eventual death alleviates anxiety about the ultimate outcome,”Brassil finds.“There’s a misconception that talking about suffering and death will cause additional distress; the evidence shows that the opposite happens.

Talking about things we can’t fix alleviates distress and anxiety.”

COLORADO EAGLES COACH FOCUSED ON TEACHING, DEVELOPMENT AS HE CONTINUES ROLE

BY JADYN WATSON-FISHER

olorado Eagles coach Greg Cronin C plans to stick around for a while, signing a new contract this summer.

Cronin received a three-year contract extension from the Eagles’ parent franchise, the Colorado Avalanche. In his first three seasons, Cronin earned an 85-60-10-3 record and sent several players to the NHL. “We are really excited to be able to bring back Greg and the coaching staff.

The work that they have done in player development and on-ice performance has been fantastic,” Eagles general manager Craig Billington said in August.“With the culture that we have created, having consistency among the coaching staff is very important, and we 26 | mywindsor | NOVEMBER 2021

can now continue to instill that culture with consistency and transparency.”

With the culture that we have created, having consistency among the coaching staff is very important, and we can now continue to instill that culture with consistency and transparency.

Cronin hails from Massachusetts but spent years on various benches across his career. Most recently, Cronin spent 12 years in the league with the New York Islanders and Toronto Maple Leafs. In Toronto, he was the associate coach for the 2017-18 season. Cronin’s resume also includes six seasons at Northeastern University, seven seasons at the University of Maine and a stint with the AHL’s Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

The longtime coach enjoys his role with player development and embraces being a teacher.

Cronin played several sports growing up, including football, hockey, baseball and boxing. He’s taken a number of those principles from his own athletic endeavors and learned to communicate them to others. Plus, he co-founded the United States National Team Development Program, where he worked with player development and the under-18 team.

Several of his players on the inaugural team went on to coach in the AHL or play in the NHL. Teaching is one of the reasons he enjoys his job. The franchise doesn’t always know what its draft picks will translate to, and he gets to help them grow. He’s OK with that message.

“I was like, ‘Okay, I’m all in that.

That’s one of my biggest strengths, I think; player development and working with young kids,’” Cronin said of his thoughts during the initial interview process.

A l l of Cronin’s experience, spanning 30 years, has prepared him to see what works, what doesn’t and

how to grow as a coach. He knows that players aren’t the only ones in the franchise who are changing and adapting. Cronin also knows the way he communicates and the methods that were used on him may not work anymore.

“I can’t use the same message my (childhood) baseball coach used today.

You’ve constantly got to evolve as a coach,” Cronin said. “And my thing is, the one common thread that has to be at the forefront of every conversation, is the conviction to be honest about the message.”

going to work together to maximize your potential.”

The Eagles began their season last weekend, falling to the Henderson Silver Knights, 6-3 and 5-4 (OT).

They play at home at 7:05 p.m. Friday and Saturday against the San Jose Barracuda.

Cronin hopes to help the Eagles become better versions of themselves and advance past their role right now.

If he wants to do that, the players have to hear his heart and see the vision — not just hear yelling. It’s a collaboration.

“Your failure is my failure. So I’m going to give you an honest message,” Cronin said of what he tells players.

“I’m going to be passionate about it.

But we’re in this together, and we’re
