Picasso and Wine
offers a party atmosphere and stress therapy to its customers By trevor reid // For Premier Photos by: Joshua Polson
W
hen Sylvia Chan opened Picasso and Wine in June 2011, she was new to Windsor and had no idea what to expect.
“I was in a way an outsider,” she said. “Once we opened, everybody
embraced the idea and supported us … I feel very blessed to be here in Windsor.”
Picasso and Wine offers art classes for people of any artistic ability. Local
artists teach visitors how to paint original works by the artists. As they’re painting, guests are served beverages, with the first one on the house.
“Every class is like a party. Some people come here laughing, dancing,
drinking, painting and then walk away with their painting,” Chan said.
Long before Picasso and Wine, Chan worked at a bank in Denver. After
her boss failed to satisfy her curiosity about why things ran the way they did, she decided it was time to start her own business.
With her husband, Chan ran a Chinese restaurant for about 10 years.
After that, they went into real estate. When their only son started going to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, they decided to move to Windsor.
“We didn’t know much about Windsor. You know, it’s a small town, but
because of the location of Windsor being in the middle of three bigger towns, like Greeley, Fort Collins and Loveland, a lot of times friends from different towns will meet here,” Chan said.
Chan said her favorite part of running the business is getting to meet
the different people who come from across northeast Colorado and even Cheyenne, Wyo. to visit Picasso and Wine. Guests love the music, the atmosphere and Sylvia herself.
“A lot of people mention, ‘Oh, I love Sylvia,’” Chan said.
Whenever she’s in town, Chan is present for the classes. She likes to make
sure the classes run as smoothly as possible, and sometimes encourages those who are nervous to paint to give it a try.
“Once you sit down and start painting, whatever bothers you, whatever
you were thinking before that moment, it’s gone. Because you are so focused on this canvas right here in front of you that you actually forget about your

problem for that period of time,” she said.
When she asked a group of therapists who regularly
visit Picasso and Wine about what they do when they’re stressed, the reply was a simple: “Sylvia, duh. We’re here. This is our therapy.”
Picasso and Wine sets itself apart from businesses
that offer similar classes with local teachers and original works. The teachers come from Windsor, west Greeley and Loveland.
“We are really local,” Chan said. “The people who
teach here come up with their own idea, their own painting, and they teach from there.”
Chan said running the business is a lot of work, but Spirit of Women is how Banner Health cares for you... the caregiver for everyone else.
she has a lot of fun sharing her lifelong passion for art.
“It’s a million things when you run your own
business . You really have to love it, otherwise you don’t think this is worth it at all,” Chan said.
“It is really fun to run this business.”

Windsor’s old mill project aims for November occupancy Andy Stonehouse For Premier

ith as many as 30 construction workers on site at a time, work on the total renovation and restoration of the historic Windsor Mill property has continued at a healthy pace – even in the middle of an
occasionally bitter winter. But builders say they hope the mixed-use development at 301 Main St. — a brewery, restaurants, bar and office space, plus a large outdoor patio ideal for live music — will be
ready for a projected mid-November opening, with some tenants able to move in even earlier.
Fort Collins’ Blue Ocean Enterprises, the real estate development wing associated with Northern Colorado tech gear giants
OtterBox, has been working on the project since last fall, purchasing the 1899-vintage mill property in November. Steve Schroyer, director of real estate with Blue Ocean, says Windsor residents and visitors will be impressed by the mix of historic detail and contemporary atmosphere and refinement at the property, one of the largest projects his company has completed.
And while he can’t name names as of press time for Windsor Premier, Schroyer says the developer is in active negotiations with a brewing company to take over the largest public space in the nearly 40,000-square foot mill project. Other tenants will include a high-end tavern, a breakfast- and lunch-oriented restaurant, as well as commercial office space on the mill’s second and third floors.
A top floor public space with outdoor patios and fantastic views will also be a great asset for the community, Schroyer adds. “There’s no space like this that someone can rent anywhere else in town,” he says. “The town board members really wanted to show some commercial viability in this project. It’s just going to be beautiful when it’s all completed.”
Getting to this point hasn’t been entirely easy, Schroyer admits, especially with a building that sat mostly dormant for years after being heavily damaged in the 2008 tornado. “Like any remodel, there have been some challenges, but this place was built like a bunker — nowadays, you wouldn’t build any of it half as strong,” Schroyer says. “The only major issue was that the wood silos were in a little worse shape than we expected.” Other than replacing some ominous holes in the main flooring, Schroyer says the interior of the building is largely in good shape. Old flooring will be pulled up and done tongue-and-groove style inside the 4,500-square foot brewery space. “All the better for soaking up the beer,” Schroyer adds.

However, much of the roof and top floor on the building’s northwest corner was entirely blown off in the tornado (“People say it literally ended up in the lake,” he says), and workers will have to use new construction to rebuild the top floors of that section.
Even with the damage and decay, Blue Ocean, working here as Old
Windsor Mill, LLC, has had to be mindful of the mill’s historic character, especially as the building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Colorado State Register in 1998.
Years of neglect also left builders with a former agricultural building
with tons of dirt and refuse that all needed to be power-blasted before work could begin. Schroyer says his main subcontractor, Heath Construction, employed a system that uses corn cobs as a blasting agent, which was more effective in helping remove the decades of residue, including a foot-thick layer of pigeon droppings.
They’ve also done considerable structural work, digging a basement
under the mill property and installing new concrete foundations and supports — adding extra space that can be used as storage and kitchens serving the upstairs properties. Restoration and development work has been both a challenge and made easier by the mill’s heavy-duty original construction, Schroyer says, with stacked plank construction encased in brick on the outside, and massive, 275-year old timbers inside supporting the entire building.
Out back, pallets of original bricks rescued from the building’s
damaged upper floors and exterior will be used throughout the project. Other features, such as original iron wheels and gears which were part of the mill’s grain-handling system, will be left in place — including a colossal pipework structure workers have dubbed the “Vortex of Power.”
Schroyer says workers just needed to be mindful of how solid the walls
are while cutting access holes to the former grain bins to install staircases and other modern fixtures.
“It was a big deal and you only got one chance to make it right,
especially with the historic concerns,” he says. “They’ve been most concerned about the exterior of the building, though, and we’ve asked us what we can retain. The State Historical Society has been so happy

something’s finally being done to the building, though, as it was getting worse and worse with each year of neglect.”
So far, things have gone smoothly and the only drawback to the pace
of construction has been those bitter winter temperatures. Schroyer says he expects work to speed up and Windsor residents to notice accelerated undertakings as they pass, especially as the building’s top floors are rebuilt and new exterior work is completed.
Original brickwork will be cleaned, acid-washed and re-grouted, and
new weather-resistant metal siding added to enhance and protect the building. Out back, one of the mill site’s most unique features will likely be a patio and micro-amphitheater, fashioned out of the large metal storage shed at the rear of the property. Historic preservation rules called for the round shed to remain on site, so Schroyer says developers came up with the idea of cutting the 10,000-pound shed in half and positioning it to provide an acoustics-enhancing backdrop and rain shelter for small concerts.

“The Town has been fantastic to work with — everything they can

do to help us, they’ve done a great job,” Schroyer adds.
The Mill was built at the turn of the last century and served as a
thriving grain mill for its first two decades, processing flour, and was eventually reconfigured to serve as a livestock feed storage facility, active from the end of World War I to about 1990. Mostly dormant except for use as a warehouse for former owner Ron Lauer’s pool table business, the mill was badly damaged in the May 22, 2008, tornado.

Silver Sneakers bringing hundreds of seniors to the Windsor Rec Center
The center opened in October of last year, and in November it received its Silver Sneakers designation. Silver Sneakers is a nationwide program through which multiple health insurance plans provide fitness access as a no-cost benefit to seniors. Response to Silver Sneakers in Windsor was hot. Hundreds signed up for the program in its first couple of months, and as of the end of March there were just shy of 700 Silver Sneakers members at the Windsor Rec Center taking advantage of the facilities, classes and general welcoming atmosphere. “I joined right away, and Silver Sneakers wasn’t available in the very first month, but in November we got on,” said local resident Sue Buxmann. She and her husband, Tom, have United Health Care, a participant of Silver Sneakers, and she said she is thrilled with the program thus far.

And it’s close!” Like Buxmann, many seniors are using the lazy river portion of the pool to walk against the current and get some good, low-impact exercise. Employees at the rec center said

the pool and water activities are among the most popular with the senior users. “Our outdoor pool is seasonal, so we had a few gals and guys that would swim in open times or join an aqua fitness class, but the indoor pool has more availability,” said Jay Eckhardt, recreation supervisor in Windsor. “There’s more access, and it’s a little more environmentally friendly to the older population with the warmer water and being indoors.” Many seniors make use of the walking track inside the rec center as well, while some others are attending different classes or using the weight room. There are a handful of classes geared toward the older population, like the “Senior Shape Up” class that’s held twice a week, as well as other land and water classes. Through the Silver Sneakers program, participants receive a free membership to the rec center, and since it’s subsidized through the user’s insurance plan, the rec center still receives income, so it’s a win-win for everyone in Windsor. Matt Kraus, recreation supervisor, said he knows some of the seniors who come to the rec center would have done so no matter what, like Ilse Stilson, whose insurance company does not offer Silver Sneakers. She still utilizes what the rec center has to offer on her own dime. “I used to love swimming laps,

but being close to 80, I figure I better listen to my doctor and take it a little easy,” she said. “I was diagnosed with cancer 13 years ago and although I’m fine now, there’s no guarantee for any of us, so I always hoped I’d be blessed with many healthy years ahead. I try to go as often as possible to walk the lazy river or swim. It’s not so hard on my body.” It’s apparent the pull of the recreation center’s offerings is popular for senior participants in the town, and the addition of Silver Sneakers has certainly widened the circle of those who participate. “It’s free!” Kraus said. “It’s a good opportunity to live a healthier lifestyle, meet people and stay active. But honestly, I don’t know about the popularity, exactly, if it has to do with being a new

facility with new equipment? It’s not like we’re the only game in town that accepts Silver Sneakers.” Could be that the appeal of the Windsor Recreation Center is partially its newness and the excitement that comes with it, but also because there are so many other non-physical fitness related activities to take part in, too. The Area Agency on Aging provides senior meals throughout Weld County, and in cooperation with the town of Windsor, the meals are offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at the rec center location. The meals come from the University of Northern Colorado’s cafeteria, and for a suggested donation of $3 per meal, seniors can receive a hearty, healthy and tasty meal. Accompanied

We were averaging about 20 people each day, and now it’s around 30. by a side of friendly socialization, the meals are a hit, and continue to bring more and more people each week. “We were averaging about 20 people each day, and now it’s around 30 – the other Monday we had 50, so it’s definitely getting more people into the building,” Eckhardt said. Getting people into the building for a meal might help them see what else the recreation center has to offer, he said. Folks like Tom Buxmann, who is the president of the senior lunch group and serves as emcee during the meals, said he hopes seeing the facility, and hearing about it from friends, will encourage more people to get active. “I’m meeting people that I didn’t know before, so that social component is good,” he said. “I’m very glad our insurance has Silver Sneakers and that there’s such a large group of users. The recreation center is really a great asset to Windsor.” Along with the senior meals, staff at the rec center also plans field trips and activities for the seniors, aiming for something once a week. Eckhardt said they try to continually come up with new things for the participants to experience.

and more. “We fill up the bus almost every time,” Eckhardt said, referring to a 13-passenger vehicle Windsor has for the outings. The town has two, and sometimes both are needed depending on how popular the program is. There’s also the senior “lounge” that’s taking shape – a room at the rec center specifically set aside for senior use. There are tables and things like games and books, and it’s a great place for the older crowd to be able to hang out and socialize without distractions or noise from other facility users. “The social aspect is huge,” he said. “There are a lot of people that probably, it would be easier to stay home if they didn’t have something that’s going to motivate them. Now there’s the actual fitness component at the rec center, but there’s so much social too. They can meet new and old friends, and it’s very healthy.”
