I am so proud to be a part of such a resilient community of people who refuse to let the gloom overshadow their spirit. January is Health and Wellness month, so I have decided to feature several of our local medical professionals, including the ones who take care of our little creatures. Remember that even though the sun sets at the end of every day, it always rises again in the morning. It is 2021 Arvada — time to rise up and kick some butt!

Susan, Page, & Ellen

INTRODUCE US TO THE PICTURED TEAM OF 3. “Charlie’s Angels” - we are a dynamic team! Together, our individual strengths make us a powerhouse female ensemble. Susan (Co-owner, Hospital Administrator) - emulates “Alex” who is the businesswoman of the group. She is quick-witted and always ready with a clever retort. Page (Co-Owner, Veterinarian) – emulates “Dylan” who is resourceful, applying her “street-smarts” to veterinary medicine on a daily basis. Ellen (Associate Veterinarian) – emulates “Natalie” who is optimistic and loves to dance as she sharpens her ninja surgical skills. CONTINUED >

HOMETOWN HERO (CONTINUED)

IS THERE SUCH A THING AS A TYPICAL DAY AT WORK? Every day is unpredictable in veterinary medicine. We have the joy and sorrow of caring for both healthy and sick pets, young and old alike. One minute you are cuddling an adorable puppy, the next minute performing oral surgery, while the next minute helping to guide a beloved family member over the rainbow bridge.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE A HOMETOWN HERO? As practice owners, we feel strongly the title of hometown heroes pertains to our staff. COVID-19 has led to veterinary professionals having to work under unusual and stressful circumstances. The pandemic has forced veterinary hospitals to transform the way they do business. Concierge/drop off appointments, over the phone communication, extra cleaning and training protocols have made jobs more complicated and working-hours longer. Anxiety is at an all-time high, but our employees persevere in order to keep clients #1.

WHAT IS ONE STORY YOU WILL NEVER FORGET? We were introduced to Pluto, an elderly dachshund, who was unfortunately plagued with two debilitating diseases upon our first meeting. Not only did Pluto suffer from hindlimb paralysis due to a bulging disc but he also had a sizable intraabdominal mass. His owners had consulted with multiple veterinarians in search of someone who would remove their dog’s tumor. However, time and again, they were told the location of the mass was too challenging and the prognosis too grave. Surgery was not a viable option. However, one of our staff surgeons agreed to take on the task. He successfully removed Pluto’s tumor and his recovery was incredibly smooth. We located a wheelchair for Pluto and he took to it immediately. Not only did he take off trotting upon first introduction to his new wheels but the smile on his face was undeniable. Within a few months Pluto regained hindlimb mobility and he was able to walk on his own again. Pluto gained another year and half with his owners that otherwise would not have been possible without the compassionate and dedicated care of his veterinary team.

FOOD & WINE

t he rad ica l t r ut h ARTICLE LIBBY FURNS

1. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING ON THE MENU? Audrey(So Radish Mgr): My favorite menu item is our Thai Chili Tempeh Ribs. The tempeh is marinated overnight, cooked until it gets a light char around the edges, coated with a sweet and spicy glaze and served with a small scoop of our quinoa salad. It's not just the flavor I love though, tempeh is loaded with protein and fiber, so it's both filling and delicious. Customer Stephanie Price: The Chick’n Burger! Even for my meat-lovin’ friends, I’d order this for them. You have to request it buffalo style! Coming from someone who has been vegan for over 10 years, the cheese will impress you! All things delicious from your favorite burger, plus ranch and pickled zucchini? Paired with the most delicious fries? It’s a no brainer. 2. HOW IS SO RADISH DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ARVADA HOT SPOTS? Audrey: Other than having an entirely vegan and gluten-free menu, the biggest thing that sets us apart is our staff. Having a number of guests that are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or have other dietary restrictions, we have a lot of regulars that we see in here at least a couple of times a month if not week. A larger percentage of our business comes from regulars, and I appreciate that our staff is able to make genuine connections with our guests. Kaleidoscope

Stephanie: Though I don’t live in Arvada, I drive there, and I make my friends and family meet me there. Of all the Denver restaurants I have to choose from, none beat So Radish for a fun evening with friendly wait staff, the most delicious food, and chill vibes. When I want one of my plant-based critic friends to have a change of heart, there is no other place I’d take them! 3. WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE IMMERSED IN THE AMBIENCE OF THE RESTAURANT? Audrey: Artsy with 80s vibes. Our walls are almost completely covered in murals, including the

largest one in our front room which features 80s icons like Madonna and Mr. T. The shelves behind our bar are giant sunglasses and under normal circumstances, we have VHS cases on all the tables containing our drink menus. The overall goal was a sense of nostalgia. Stephanie: When you arrive, you immediately realize it’s a small, intimate experience. It works for every occasion, from date night to a solo dinner to a co-ed gathering. The waitstaff is always eager to serve you and offer their favorite suggestions. Most of the experience is eating a delicious meal while listening to 80s jams -- vibes that just make you feel the world is gonna be alright. 4. CONSUMERS NEW TO THE RESTAURANT MIGHT ORDER WHAT 3-5 MUST-HAVES? Audrey: Mushroom Cheesesteak sandwich with house-made vegan provolone, Spicy Peanut Tofu, Fried Avocado appetizer, and the Buffalo Chick'n Biscuit sandwich from our brunch menu. If I could recommend anything from our bar, it would be our Saved By The Bell cocktail with muddled red bell pepper, Breckenridge Chili Chile Vodka, elderflower liqueur, lemon and lime. It's unique, delicious, and a great option to try right now when we're all trying to do our best to support local businesses. Stephanie: The Chick’n Burger, the Meatball Sub, the Fried Avocado, and the Sweet and Spicy Fried Brussel Sprouts. Bring your non-vegetarian friend, and prove to them that plant-based food can be truly delicious.

5. WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND THIS RESTAURANT'S BIRTH? Audrey: Our owner, Scott Spears, had been vegetarian on and off, and as an Arvada native, he was very aware that there weren't any options in our area. Having multiple local vegan friends, he felt that was something Arvada was very much missing. By the end of 2017, he finally found the right location, and we were able to get to work. He focused on the design and ambience of the restaurant, while I focused on developing our food menu and bar program, consulting with each other throughout the process, and finally opened in April 2019. We wanted to create an inviting, laid back atmosphere, a balanced menu with super healthy options as well as comfort food, and a drink selection with craft beer and cocktails, local spirits, and a huge kombucha selection.

people to a cause that you aren’t willing to own, especially these don’t respect it. When you pick a problem to solve or a cause to rally around, you must have conviction in order to succeed. Over the years, I’ve learned that whenever I feel a sense of conviction about an issue, I need to start moving in the direction I believe I should go, even if I’m uncertain. Action creates ownership, and ownership creates credibility with people. And you need that credibility because transformation cannot be done by one person alone—we all need people to join us on the journey. CONTINUED >

GIVING BACK (CONTINUED)

2. Invite Others to Join You When you’ve settled on the problem you want to tackle you should immediately begin looking for others to join you. In the book, Rob and I recommend starting with friends and family; you already have influence with them, and chances are you’re of like mind in many areas. Go to those family members who frequently ask you for advice or seek your opinion on personal matters, as you likely have greater influence with them. To move beyond family, however, you’ll need to take a leap of faith and begin sharing your passion for solving the problem with other people. Passion attracts, and when people come to you with interest, don’t be afraid to ask them what they think or invite them to improve your ideas. Empowering people to help you creates a bond, and once that bond is established, you will quickly discover who you can truly work with and invite them to take action with you.

3. Do What You Can Where You Are Action is the final step. It doesn’t have to be big or grand; it doesn’t even have to be guaranteed of success. Nothing happens in life until someone does something, and once you take your first step, the next step will come into focus. Remember that transformation is a process, not an event. It takes time and repeated action to bring about positive change. So focus on purpose, not perfection, and do what you know to do. These three steps may seem too simple, but I assure you they work. The goal of all transformational movements is making things better however possible. Incremental change is better than the status quo; and when you’re truly committed to making your community a better place, you know that any improvement is a significant improvement.

RISE WITH THE NEW YEAR

LET US ALL LIVE BY THE WORDS OF RALPH WALDO EMERSON: “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” When was the last time you stepped outside? Stopped and looked up, directly into the sky? Stood still and faced the rising sun, feeling its warmth coat your skin? Stared deep into the setting sun, appreciating the beauty of breath and miraculousness of life? The time is now. Stop. Engage. Embrace. Indulge — In the rising and setting of the sun, and in the glory of a new year. 34
