What a year it has been! As the holidays draw near, it’s a good time to reflect on the journey thus far and what 2017 may bring. This past spring Loudmouth Media launched two new magazines in the South Metro. This expanded our reach to an additional 35,000 homes and businesses - meaning that we now reach a combined total of 220,000 mailboxes with our publications. Time and again, our readers tell me that Spotlight® is THE magazine that they look forward to receiving. It is a pleasure to publish it for you. We strive to produce the highest quality and most original direct mail magazine in the area. Why? Because small businesses and local organizations need to connect with people like you. But, Spotlight® is more than just a collection of coupons - it is a go-to source for local stories, local deals and local connection. Spotlight® helps keep money in the local economy and encourages community connection, uniqueness and prosperity. I am grateful that you are one of our readers. Be sure to tell our advertisers you “saw them in the Spotlight®!”
Happy Holidays!

The Five Best
Christmas Trees for Colorado Homes By Bette Erickson
Whether it’s the rich vanilla scent of a pine tree or the earthy fresh fragrance of a noble fir, there are a few things to consider when purchasing a real tree for the holidays.

Tree Recycling Contact your municipality or recycling center about Christmas tree-recycling. Following the holidays, most municipalities and some Homeowner’s Associations collect trees. Look online for recycle options. Some 93% of Christmas trees are recycled and turned into mulch for landscapes, gardens or chipped for use in playgrounds and hiking trails.

K
evin Marks, certified arborist and manager at The Davey Tree Expert Company, advises buying from an established, reputable retailer. “The best thing you can do is go to a reputable nursery or Christmas tree lot when buying a fresh tree,” he says. “The bigger retailers offer fresher trees.” Marks added that it’s important to smell and feel the branches. “Needles falling off aren’t a good sign,” he said. And while it’s a lovely tree and designated as Colorado’s state tree, the blue spruce really is not the best choice for a holiday tree given their sharp needles. His choice? Marks favorite, he says, is the Fraser fir. Its mild fragrance, appealing shape, strong limbs, and ability to retain its soft needles (meaning, they don’t prick like blue spruce when hanging ornaments) make it one of the best trees for this purpose. This fir has dark green needles, 1/2 to 1 inch long. The Fraser fir has excellent needle retention along with a nice scent. Fraser fir was named for Scot botanist John Fraser who explored the southern Appalachians in the late eighteenth century. Many of us like the ease and convenience of an artificial Christmas tree each season. But not Davey’s Kevin Marks. “Fresh trees smell like Christmas,” he said. Marks recommends Pine trees. In addition to the Fraser fir, a couple of others to consider include: Balsam, Noble and Douglas firs and Scotch pine. “They’re family friendly,” Marks adds.
Recycling options include: •
Call a nonprofit organization like the Boy Scouts to pick up your tree in exchange for a small donation.
•
Drop off your tree at a recycling center. Most counties have free drop-off locations.
•
Ask if you can have your tree chipped at a local garden center and use the chips yourself for ground cover or mulch.
•
Use Christmas tree trunks and branches for crafting or to edge a garden. Christmas tree needles make aromatic potpourris for fragrant décor.
•
Trees can be sunk into ponds or lakes to create habitat for fish. Small fish will hide in submerged trees for protection. However, do not randomly drop your tree off at a local pond.

Douglas fir with its slightly lemony, pineapple-like odor and light floral note is another good Christmas tree choice for families. Douglas firs grow into a coneshaped naturally, have 1 to 1-1/2-inch needles that are lasting and offer a sweet scent. Fraser fir and Douglas fir are the staple Christmas trees for the largest retail sellers. Balsam fir is another good choice to bring indoors for the holidays. Balsams are beautifully pyramid-shaped trees with short, flat, long-lasting, aromatic needles. If you’re looking for a tree that can hold heavier Christmas tree ornaments, consider the Noble fir, with its upturned needles. The tree is known for its beauty, has a long cut life and offers stiff branches. But the choices don’t stop there. Scotch pine trees offer a long-lasting aroma that lingers through the entire season. Scotch pine does not drop needles when dry, making it an appealing tree choice to many. The reason many of us choose a real Christmas tree is because of the scent. Marks said he likes the evergreen forest smell. “Real trees smell green. They smell like you’re outside,” he explained. A freshly cut tree should last between four and six weeks if attended to properly.
Get your tree to water quickly – ideally within an hour or two of bringing it home. Keep the bottom two inches of the trunk submerged in water. “Trees will drink a gallon of water within the first couple of days,” said Marks. Some people prefer to add a tablespoon or so of sugar to freshly cut flowers and holiday trees. “Some say it aides in absorption,” he said. Less popular is buying a real potted Christmas tree with its root ball. Marks doesn’t recommend this, but advised if your tree is potted in soil, keep it inside only two days because you don’t want it to acclimate to the warmer temperature. This makes transferring the tree into your (most likely frozen) Colorado yard difficult for you and traumatic for your tree.

SurvivalGuide WINTER
FOR PARENTS By Kristen Beckman
As the air begins to feel frosty, parents everywhere may be experiencing momentary panic imagining what they will do with energetic but bored kids stuck indoors on forthcoming snowy days. Luckily, Colorado rarely serves up weather so inclement that kids can’t get out and have at least a little fun in the snow. And on the rare day that venturing outside is too scary, there are plenty of ways to celebrate winter in the cozy indoors.
Here are a few ideas to help your family chase away the winter doldrums: ICE SKATING Colorado’s mountains provide world-class winter activities, but if you want something closer to home, check out the outdoor ice skating rink at The Pond at Southlands Mall in Aurora. While there, visit the St. Nick’s holiday market, featuring more than 100 vendors offering unique gifts, gourmet food and holiday treats. Or visit the new ice skating trail adjacent to the new library in Parker. Scheduled to open this winter, the ice trail (one of only a few in the country) meanders through Discovery Park and is designed to be reminiscent of a frozen river or canal. Fire pits along the trail will keep skaters warm, as will hot chocolate at the concession stand. If ice skating is appealing but the weather is too frightful, check out Family Sports Ice Arena in Centennial for public skating or the family-friendly Rock N Skate nights. Not only can your kids brush up on their ice skating skills, but young hockey fans might also have the chance to get an autograph from a Colorado Avalanche player when the team is practicing at the facility.
SNOWY FUN Snowy days provide wonderful opportunities for imaginative play. In addition to building the traditional snowman or having a good old-fashioned snowball fight, kids can also apply math and science skills to building a snow fort or even an igloo. To make Colorado’s powdery snow easier to work with, spray it with a mist of water until it packs more easily. To achieve a little bit of exercise after several inches of snow have fallen, the entire family can try snowshoeing. Snowshoeing doesn’t take any special training or skill and offers a great opportunity to explore your neighborhood or nearby parks in a new way. Snowshoes can be rented if you want to try it out before buying equipment.

Spotlight® Magazine | Holiday 2016
COLD-WEATHER SCIENCE For science-minded children, snow presents an opportunity for experimentation. On cold days, try blowing bubbles outside. Bubbles will freeze before they hit the ground and won’t pop. Or blow up a balloon and observe what happens when you take the balloon from the warm house into the cold outside, and then back inside again.
An accident doesn’t have to leave you in pain. If your accident left you with whiplash, headaches, neck or back pain, or any other symptoms Stice Chiropractic can help.
Experience Excellent Results Using Chiropractic, Massage Therapy & Acupuncture in the Treatment of: • Whiplash • Back Pain/Neck Pain • Headaches • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
