Community First Foundation gives $10,000 Community First Foundation provided a $10,000 matching grant to Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center for its endowment fund. The nonprofit organization’s endowment allows it to continue its mission to promote, produce,

develop and preserve the cultural arts, heritage, and traditions of the Chicano/Latino community. “We are pleased to provide this matching grant to Su Teatro, which has partnered with Community First Foundation on its endowment since 2004,” said Mike Jackson, director of nonprofit relations of Community First Foundation. “Endowment building for nonprofits in the

Metro Denver is one of the Foundation’s highest priorities. We believe financially strong and stable nonprofits help build stronger communities.” Su Teatro began in 1971 as a student-organized theater group at the University of Colorado at Denver. Over the past 40 years, the organization has established a national reputation for homegrown productions that speak to

the history and experience of Chicanos. The organization recently engaged in a three-month endowment fundraising campaign. By generating $20,000 in donations, Su Teatro qualified for a 50 cent match from Community First Foundation for every dollar raised. “Our endowment with Community First Foundation helps strengthen the underlying enterprise of Su Teatro,” said Tony

Garcia, executive artistic director. “Through our growing endowment, we are able to attain security and stability. This allows us to fulfill a larger vision – to be proactive and innovative and radically expand our ability to fill a need in the community.” Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center is one of more than 70 nonprofit endowments at Community First Foundation.

DPS announces summer instructional program for struggling readers Aimed at improving reading skills and closing achievement gap

Denver Public Schools announced its launch of a new summer school reading program for young students who are struggling to read at grade level. The summer literacy program is funded by the Colorado READ Act, which provides resources to school districts to implement targeted intervention supports for students who are reading below grade level, many of whom come from lowincome households. In school year 2012-2013, roughly 50 percent of DPS’ third-grade students who qualify for free or reduced lunch were reading at grade level, compared to 83 percent of students who do not come from low-income households. “The achievement gap between our students from low-income

households and our more affluent students is unacceptable, and we must provide critical supports for our struggling readers,” DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg said during a visit to Valdez Elementary School in northwest Denver. “Reading at grade level at third-grade is such a critical benchmark for future success in school, and offering extra time and instructional support during the summer months for our struggling readers will help raise achievement and get many more of our students on track and more confident in their reading and learning skills.” The Colorado READ Act

provides resources to school districts through per-student intervention funding based on the number of students identified with significant reading deficiencies. Currently, DPS has more than 6,000 students in kindergarten through third-grade who are not reading at grade level. The Summer Literacy School Program will provide these students who are significantly behind in reading the opportunity to receive additional instructional supports to help bring them to grade level. The program will work in alignment with DPS’ English-Language Acquisition Academy, which also operates during the summer

months to support English-language learners. “We’re very pleased to be able to offer this additional instructional opportunity to our families, and we’re confident it will have a big impact on student achievement,” DPS Board of Education Member Barbara O’Brien said. “Research shows that students in the thirdgrade who read at grade level are much more likely to stay at grade level and be on track to graduate high school on time.” School districts are allowed to use READ Act funds in a variety of ways, including operating a summer school literacy program, providing full-day kindergarten, purchasing tutoring services in reading and providing intervention services. With the implementation of the Summery Literacy School Program, DPS will be offering all of the intervention supports under the Colorado READ Act.

Mom of Columbine survivor practices what she teaches By Peter Jones When Carolyn Lunsford Mears says she understands what the families of survivors of the Arapahoe High School shootings are going through, the University of Denver professor is not just speaking in detached academic terms. After her 15-year-old son survived the Columbine High School shootings in 1999, Mears wanted to learn more. She enrolled at DU to conduct dissertation research that could help others who have faced tragedy and trauma. In years since, the author of Reclaiming School in the Aftermath of Trauma: Advice Based on Experience has presented to audiences around the world on such subjects as leadership during crisis, trauma response, and recovery. She is cofounder of the Columbine-Sandy Hook Cooperative, The Denver Herald recently asked Mears, a volunteer crisis consultant, for her thoughts as the local community continues to reel from the loss of Claire Davis, the 17-yearold Arapahoe High shooting victim who died Dec. 21. Herald: You came to your academic specialty in a very unusual way. Mears: I was doing work with schools. I would write grants and get funding related to professional development for teachers and collaborative projects. That’s what I was doing at the time of the Columbine shootings. I had no intention, nor need of a doctorate. When the shootings happened, it was really clear that those of us inside of the tragedy were experiencing things that people outside didn’t understand because they’d never lived it. A dear friend of mine and I would walk around Clement Park Lake and we would find ourselves saying, “People don’t get it.” One afternoon, I stopped in the middle of a path and said, “Well, if they don’t get it, it’s because nobody told them.” It just seemed like it was an opportunity to learn things from the inside that outside research-

ers wouldn’t have access to. If I had been an outside researcher, I would not have heard the candor. People would not have had that trust in me that they did with me not only being a longtime member of the community, but also having lived it myself. Herald: Describe your family’s experience with the Columbine shootings. Mears: My husband and I were at Leewood Elementary with all the other moms and dads. My son was locked down with about 18 others for three hours in a very small confined place. A lot of the shooting that happened in the school was actually the police clearing area. So the kids, teachers, custodians, cafeteria ladies and all those folks who were locked in those rooms trying to be quiet and invisible had no way of knowing that the shooters were dead. In a lifethreatening situation, all sense of time is distorted. Everything seems to move in slow motion. All senses are hyper-vigilant. Basically what happens is the world you think you lived in is shattered. There is no way I ever would have imagined that Columbine High School would have become a scene of such carnage, and yet it did. That’s what you deal with in the aftermath is trying to rebuild a worldview. Herald: How would you summarize what you do for people? Mears: I’ll learn from the stories of other people about what helped them recover from a tragic event, whether it’s a school shooting or the terrorist attack on the World Trade

Center or Hurricane Katrina. I’ll share what their advice is with others. In large part, it’s public awareness about what trauma is and what needs are generated. I’ve put this together with a family from Sandy Hook who actually lives here in Colorado. We understand each other. We became good friends. We’ve started a foundation, which is specifically around learning from tragedies in ways that help others with readiness, education, working with police departments, medical units, teachers and policymakers. Herald: Based on your experiences, what do you think the Arapahoe High School community needs at this point? Mears: After Columbine, there was a mom who came from Paducah, Ky., where there had been another shooting and it helped so much just to be around somebody that had lived that experience. It feels so foreign and so bizarre that you never think you’re ever going to be normal again. I think it helps to know that this is normal. What you’re going through is part of this process. Your brain is trying to comprehend what is really going on. Everyone has a different way of processing and different needs at different times. That’s one of the lessons we can learn. It’s not a straight line to recovery. One of the big things for me was people from the outside who would want to help with conventional wisdom like “Well just don’t think about it” or “Get back on the horse.” Those don’t work in times of trauma. Herald: Trauma victims helping each other is not unusual. What is unusual about your story is that you attained a degree and became an academic to do it. Mears: I’ll tell you why I did it that way. I knew that as a Columbine mom I could gain all of the stories and all of the insight and other parents might listen to me. But academics, educators, policymakers would not listen to me in the same way unless I had a Ph.D. So I set out to achieve the credibility that would allow me enter into the corridors of power, the people who make decisions about policy, people who know the concept of what needs to happen. It’s understanding the “why” of it.

Ways to keep your family safe from carbon monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas known as the silent killer. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, CO poisoning is the No. 1 cause of accidental poisoning in the United States. Diagnosis of CO poisoning can be difficult because symptoms mimic those of many other illnesses and include nausea, headaches, dizziness, weakness, chest pain and vomiting. In more severe poisoning cases, people may experience disorientation or unconsciousness, or suffer long-term neurological disabilities, cardiorespiratory failure or death. Regardless of a home’s age, people can be exposed to this poisonous gas, which originates from anything that burns fuel, such as gas furnaces, stoves, water heaters, barbeque grills, wood-burning fireplaces and automobiles.

CO Risks and Fatalities

• Nearly three-quarters (73 percent) of CO exposure is in the home, and more than two-fifths (41 percent) occurs during the winter

months of December, January and February. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) • Ninety percent of American homes do not meet the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) recommendation for number of CO alarms, including 40 percent that report having zero working carbon monoxide alarms. (First Alert “Get Alarmed” Survey, July 2010)

Avoiding CO Poisoning

• All fuel-burning (gas, oil and coal) devices should be serviced by a qualified technician every year. Generators, charcoal grills, camp stoves and other similar devices should only be used outdoors. • Running vehicles inside an attached garage, even if the door is open, is hazardous, as CO can leak into the home. • CO alarms should be installed outside each sleeping area (such as in a hallway outside the bedroom). For maximum protection, an alarm should be installed on each level

of the home. Battery-operated CO alarms or plug-in alarms with battery backup are preferred in case of power failure. • Call 911 and leave the home immediately if the CO alarm sounds.

Additional CO Guidelines

• Clear CO alarms of all of dust and debris. • Ensure that alarms are plugged all the way into the outlet or, if battery operated, have working batteries installed. Check or replace the battery when you change the time on your clocks each spring and fall. • Make certain each person can hear the CO alarm sound from his or her sleeping room and that the sound is loud enough to awaken everyone. • Make sure the alarms are installed at least 15 feet away from sources of CO to reduce the number of nuisance alarms.

Mizel Institute honors William J. Hybl with 2014 Community Enrichment Award

The 2014 Subaru Outback is priced competitively at $32,095.

2014 Subaru Outback lives up to reputation By H. Throttle The 2014 Subaru Outback lives up to it’s excellent worldwide reputation. The Outback has become famous with the notable Australian movies and the television advertising with the bad guys chasing Crocodile Dundee – they never captured him because he always kept ahead of them in his Outback. Few people will catch up to you in the 3.6 L. horizontal, 6-cylinder opposed engine that produces a fine power package along with 25-mpg highway. Fine Japanese craftsman manufactures the engine along with 45 percent of the Subaru parts. The final assembly of 45 percent of vehicle occurs in the United States at a plant in Lafayette, Ind. The missing 10 percent just must come from multiple sources. Fair to say that Subaru is a wonderful international product revered around the planet. Appearance and craftsmanship are first class and my wife upon seeing this vehicle stated immediately, “I love the beauti-

ful blue color.” The paint is officially described as “twilight blue metallic.” So, the Outback passes the design and paint tests with flying colors. The Outback is priced competitively at $32,095 with some additional features at $1,445 for a sunroof, rear back up vision, which are dealer options that can vary with seasonal advertising. The power package links to a great all-wheel symmetrical drive system along with dynamic VDC controls. A five-speed transmission is smooth as silk with a manual option. The Outback is perfect for mountain driving with the option to lock in any gear and use the paddle wheels located on the leather wrapped steering wheel. A large storage area is located behind the real fold down seats that are deep and comfortable for back seat passengers. A prominent gauge over the Harman-Kardan sound system informs the driver of the tem-

perature, time and miles left on fuel tank. The Outback will travel about 400 miles on a full tank of gas. Subaru has a reputation for being reliable and long lasting; warranties range five years and 60,000 miles on the power train. Additional warranties can be added up to 100,000 miles. The ride is firm, has solid steering and as the driver, you just feel in complete control of highway conditions in all respects. The 2014 Outback scores a perfect five-star ratings for overall safety and five stars for frontal and side crashes. A roof-rack can hold the snowboards and skies, the allwheel drive is perfect for snowy roads and a powerful fuel efficient engine will take the five passengers safety to any destination, even to the famed outback of Australian whence came this great name and inspiring drive. Consumers won’t go wrong here!

Scientists receive $1.2M grant to explore development of Alzheimer’s in Down syndrome individuals The Global Down Syndrome Foundation, the Alzheimer’s Association, and the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome have awarded $1.2 million in research grants to five scientists for innovative investigations that explore the development of Alzheimer’s disease in individuals with Down syndrome. The goal is to eventually translate the findings into improved treatments for all people with Alzheimer’s. The organizations are supporting this growing area of study through a new joint grants initiative called “Understanding the Development and Devising Treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease in Individuals with Down Syndrome.” “The Alzheimer’s Association is very interested in understanding why people with Down syndrome are at such high risk for Alzheimer’s, and how it relates to other variations of the disease, so that we can identify new therapies to treat Alzheimer’s in both the Down syndrome and typical populations,” said Maria Carrillo, Ph.D., Alzheimer’s Association vice president of Medical and Scientific Relations. “Research in this population may also help us develop predictive tools for Alzheimer’s

and design more effective clinical trials.” “Investing with the Alzheimer’s Association has been so rewarding. The science our joint initiative is funding is of the highest caliber, and each grant approaches understanding, treating or preventing Alzheimer’s in people with Down syndrome from a very different angle. If initial results are promising, we hope that the National Institutes of Health will continue to fund this excellent science,” said Michelle Sie Whitten, executive director of the Global Down Syndrome Foundation.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Down syndrome

Alzheimer’s is a fatal, progressive, degenerative brain disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, which is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder whereby a person has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two. This chromosome also contains the gene that encodes the amyloid precursor protein. APP

is cleaved to form amyloid-beta, which is the primary component of amyloid plaques – a lesion found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s that many scientists believe is part of the cause of the disease. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Down syndrome occurs in 1 out of 691 infants in the United States. Due to improved clinical care, people with Down syndrome are now regularly living into their sixth decade of life, causing many to develop dementia due to Alzheimer’s. Autopsy studies show that by age 40, the brains of almost all individuals with Down syndrome have significant levels of plaques and tangles – abnormal protein deposits that are considered Alzheimer’s hallmarks. But despite the presence of these brain changes, not everyone with the syndrome develops Alzheimer’s symptoms. One of the many questions researchers hope to answer about Down syndrome is why some people develop dementia symptoms and others don’t. Researchers are working to answer a similar key question about those who don’t have Down syndrome. This may lead to new opportunities for treatment and prevention of the disease.

Cathay Williams

She was the first African American female soldier to serve

By Linda Wommack he story of Cathay Williams is one of triumph over tragedy. Through it all, she broke an unbelievable barrier, albeit undetected at the time, and thus discarded by many historians. An unfortunate oversight, as this woman is the only documented African American woman who served as a soldier in the Union Army during the Civil War. The official introduction of women in the U.S. Army would not occur until 1948. Williams was born a slave in September 1844 in Independence, Mo. In an interview for the St. Louis Daily Times, printed on Jan. 2, 1876, Williams recounted her early life as a slave: “My father was a freeman, but my mother a slave, belonging to William Johnson, a wealthy farmer who lived at the time I was born near Independence, Jackson County, Mo. While I was a small girl, my master and family moved to Jefferson City. My master died there and when the war broke out and the United States soldiers came to Jefferson City they took me and other colored folks with them to Little Rock. Col. Benton of the 13th Army corps was the officer that carried us off. I did not want to go. He wanted me to cook for the officers, but I had always been a house girl and did not know how to cook. I learned to cook after going to Little Rock and was with the Army at The Battle of Pea Ridge.” Williams moved with her Union command through Arkansas and Louisiana, where she witnessed the capture and burning of the Confederate Army’s gunboats at Shreveport. Eventually, she and her unit made the way north to Washington City where she was placed as a cook and washwoman for the staff of Union Army Gen. Phil Sheridan during the Shenandoah Valley campaign. Through another series of moves with the Union forces, Williams was sent to the Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis where she remained until the Civil War ended in April 1865. At the age of 22, Williams suddenly found herself with no means of self support. Thus, on Nov. 15, 1866, Williams boldly disguised herself as a man, using the name of William Cathay, and enlisted for a three-year tour of duty in the United States Army. Capt. Charles E. Clarke signed her enlistment papers, commander of the 38th U.S. Infantry Company A, which was one of three segregated African-American Infantry units designated that year. As was routine with all enlistments, an Army surgeon, concluding that the recruit was fit for duty, conducted a physical exam of Private William Cathay. The exam, obviously superficial in nature, noted no “impairments or abnormalities.” Assigned to the 38th U.S. Infantry, under Capt. Clarke, the grueling campaigns of 38th Infantry took these Buffalo Soldiers across the Great Plains, from Kansas to Colorado to New Mex-

Fort Bayard, N.M., was the last Army Post where Cathey Williams served before being discharged from the service.

ico. Their military responsibilities included garrison duties over the new forts across the region, as well as providing military force against the hostile Indian uprisings. By April 1867, William Cathay had marched with the 38th Infantry to Fort Riley, Kan., however, on the 10th of that month, she was admitted to the post hospital complaining of an “itching” sensation. By the end of the month, 15 more privates had been admitted with the same affliction. Due to the primitive nature of a soldier’s life, lice, eczema and serious skin rashes was often the result of a lack of proper hygiene. Nevertheless, the sick soldiers were each docked $10 for the month they were in the hospital. Cathay resumed his/her duties arriving with the unit at Fort Harker, Kan., in June 1867. From there, they marched 536 miles southwest to Fort Union, N.M., arriving in July. By September, the unit was on the march again and arrived at Fort Cummings, N.M., where they were stationed for eight months, where all privates were assigned to garrison duty. “I was never put in the guard house, no bayonet was ever put to my back. I carried my musket and did guard and other duties while

in the Army,” Cathay said. On Jan. 27, 1868, Cathay was admitted to the post hospital at Fort Cummings, citing rheumatism, yet returned to duty three days later. On March 20, she was again admitted to the hospital with the same complaint, again, returning to duty within three days. On June 6, Cathay marched 47 miles with the unit to Fort Ba-

yard. This would be the last post Private Williams would serve. On July 13, Williams was admitted to the hospital at Fort Bayard and diagnosed with neuralgia. Finally, after being admitted to four military hospitals on five occasions, a thorough medical exam by the post surgeon revealed Cathay’s true gender. On a surgeon’s certificate of disability, William Cathay was discharged from the Army on Oct. 14, 1868, ten months short of her three year service. Resuming life as a female, she immediately gained employment as a cook for the family of Fort Union’s colonel. In 1870, she moved to Pueblo where she worked for a Mr. Dunbar. In an interview given in 1876 in her home in Trinidad, she said “...went to Pueblo where I made money by cooking and washing. I got married while there, but my husband was a no account.” In 1872, she settled permanently in Trinidad where she found work as a cook, a laundress and a part-time nurse. However, in late 1889, she was hospitalized in Trinidad for more than a year. While the nature of her ill-

ness is not recorded, it is known that in 1891, when she filed for a military pension, a medical exam revealed all of her toes had been amputated, necessitating the aid of a crutch to walk. The application she filed on June 11, 1891, brought out for all the public, the fact that an African-American woman had served in the regular Army. While the Army did not dispute the fact the applicant was the same person as William Cathay, who served with the 38th U.S. Infantry, her application for a military pension was denied, despite an appeal filed in Las Animas County on Feb. 8, 1892. Cathay Williams remained in Trinidad where it is believed by most historians and her biographer that she died there prior to 1900, as she is not recorded in that year’s census records. There are no records of a burial in that city or elsewhere. There is no photograph of this forgotten African American female pioneer, who without a doubt proved undaunted courage to rise above against her odds and forged the way, in her own way, for the future of all women.

Foot lockers like this one typically held all the personal possessions of a soldier.

the city’s favorite winter event Annual Stock Show comes to town Jan. 11 – 26 By Rosemary Fetter espite recent efforts to move The National Western Stock Show to Aurora, other parts of Commerce City or near Denver International Airport, the show will go on and is coming to town Jan. 11 – 26. The National Western became a local institution in the early 1900s, but the cow has always been an important Denverite. Many early pioneers disenchanted with mining turned to agriculture and ranching. Taking advantage of the great open range, generally mild winters and the availability of Texas longhorns, cattlemen like John Wesley Iliff made their fortunes John Wayne-style. Ranchers joined together as early as 1867 to form one of Colorado’s first professional groups, the Colorado Stock Growers Association. With the arrival of the railroads in 1870, Denver became the end of the trail for cattlemen driving their herds up from Texas along the Goodnight Loving Trail. The city’s first stockyards, known as the Elephant Corral, were located on Blake Street between 14th and 15th streets. Although cattle were originally shipped to Kansas City and Chicago, the creation of the Denver Union Stockyards on June 1, 1881, made Denver a livestock hub, where Swift, Armour and Cudahy once operated major plants. In 1886, the company moved to its current location, between the South Platte River and Franklin Street to the east and west and W. 46th and W. 52nd Ave on the north and south, with the railroad tracks in the middle. Stockyards included feedlots, slaughterhouses, rendering plants and meat processing plants.

In 1898, the Denver Chamber of Commerce, the Cattleman’s Association and other livestock growers held the city’s first stock show. At the time, Denver was barely recovering from the Depression of 1893, which shattered the economy of the entire state and left many homeless. With misguided public spirit, stock show organizers planned a giant public barbecue, which turned into a freefor all and discouraged further attempts, at least for a few years. By 1905, the stockmen and Denver were ready to try again. Led by Fred P. Johnson, who ran the Denver Daily-Record Stockman, and Elias M. Ammons, Douglas County cattleman, state senator and later Colorado governor, the newly-united American National Live Stock Association held their first show on Jan. 29, 1906. Streetcars, carriages and special trains delivered the public to a free show that did not include a barbecue, with exhibitions that included 50 loads of feeder cattle, seven loads of breeding heifers, 11 loads of lambs and five loads of hogs. The Sells-Floto Circus, owned by Harry Tammen of The Denver Post, loaned the cattlemen a circus tent, which was replaced the following year by a 140 x 275 foot monstrosity manufactured by a local canvas company. (Challenged by January winds, the tent fell down once, but fortunately no one was injured.) Stock Show enthusiasts made do with the super tent until the 6,000-seat National Amphitheater opened in 1909, the same year livestock growers settled on the name, the National Western Stock Show. Although the show often suffered the effects of bad weather (the blizzards of 1910, 1913 and 1915 were particularly devastating), it was only cancelled once, in 1915, due to an

epidemic of hoof and mouth disease. By 1920, ticket prices had been raised to 75-cents and the show was finally in the red. Seven years later, the National Western Stock Show had become the third largest in the world, bringing some 50,000 visitors to the city. That same year, Denverites began keeping their Christmas lights up in January, a tradition that still continues. When the National Western Rodeo became part of the Stock Show in 1931, rodeo riders had an opportunity to win major prizes and large sums along with the accolades. Interestingly, the biggest star that year was not a cowboy but a horse named Midnight, who bucked off every rider who had ever attempted to mount the cantankerous creature. Starring in various rodeos beginning in the 1920s, Midnight eventually retired to a ranch in Platteville. His remains lie in the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. In 1940, the National Western initiated a separate junior livestock show that allowed youngsters, many from 4-H groups, to compete for cash and ribbons. The show had become such a popular local tradition that, in 1947, taxpayers passed a $1.5 million bond for construction of the Denver Coliseum, dedicated Jan. 10, 1952, on the 46th anniversary of the National Western. That same year, the Westernaires, a Jefferson County organization of young riders, made their first appearance. The first show at the Coliseum, the largest in history

up to that point, brought in $323,500. Two years later, Channel 9 covered the closing night rodeo, televised for the first time. During the 1960s and ‘70s, stock shows in general lost popularity. Even the granddaddy of them all, the Chicago International Livestock Exhibition, was cancelled in 1975.

By Rosemary Fetter A really great Mexican restaurant is a real find, not exactly the Holy Grail, but close. Garcia’s Restaurant in Greenwood Village certainly qualifies, having delighted both locals and visitors since opening in 1984. Perhaps the friendly family atmosphere initially attracts hungry folk, along with the lively Southwestern décor. Central to the restaurant, a large statue/fountain features Tlaloc, the Mayan god of the Water. In another section, a large bright blue bird known as Tucan oversees operations. Local owner Jovita Fleischmann brought in both Mayan artworks from Mexico. Fleischmann who has been key to the restaurant’s success, worked for Garcia’s for several years as general manager before purchasing the Greenwood Village restaurant in 2001. The first Garcia’s ever opened dates back to the 1950s, founded by Julio and Olivia Garcia in Scottsdale, Ariz. Today, Garcia’s now has several other restaurants in Arizona, and one each in Colorado, Idaho and Utah. Keeping with tradition, chefs still prepare all sauces, salsas, guacamole, chips, beans, rice, and meat dishes fresh daily. One of the first restaurants in the country to serve fajitas on a sizzling skillet, Garcia’s is also home to the popular pollo fundito, a flour tortilla stuffed with chicken, fried until crispy and topped with jalapeno cream cheese and melted cheddar cheese. Guests are encouraged to save room for one of the luscious desserts. Along with sopapillas and fried ice cream, choices include chocolate mini chimis, filled with cream cheese and chocolate, lightly fried and topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel and chocolate syrup. Another winner, the warm apple flautas are crisp tortillas filled with warm cinnamon apple chunks, rolled in cinnamon sugar. For large groups, the restaurant offers a large private banquet room, which accommodates up to 140 people. Garcia’s also offers party trays and a great “to go” menu. Look for the hacienda just off I-25 and Belleview.
