“I Just Don’t Believe in That…”
Dear friend,
You Benefit from a Unique Offer… If you bring in this article (by September 24th, 2010) you can receive my entire new patient exam for $59, which includes a comprehensive new patient exam and a 30 minute massage. …There are no hidden fees here. Further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that I have family spinal adjustment plans.
When I meet people in town, they usually say, “Oh, yeah, I know you, you’re Dr. Jessica. I’ve seen your ad with that picture of you and that cute little girl.” Well, perhaps I should tell you a little more about that photo, and why I use it in my ads. Let’s start with me, the gal on the right. Fourteen years ago when I was a freshman in college taking pre-med courses, I developed allergies which led to chronic sinus infections. My medical doctor had me on some really powerful drugs, but nothing was helping! The infections kept getting stronger and stronger and so did the doses of antibiotics. I was so sick for so long that my parents decided to take me out of school so I could focus on getting healthy. A friend of mine convinced me to give chiropractic a try, but I just didn’t believe in it! Out of desperation, I went to see him. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I finally got relief from the terrible pressure in my sinuses! It worked so well that I have never had another sinus infection in over 12 years…and I went to chiropractic college instead of medical school, as I had planned. Madi, the little girl in the middle of the photo, used to be plagued with ear infections. Her mom Tara, the gal on the left, was constantly taking her to the pediatrician for the first 6 months of her life. After I started to adjust Madi, the ear infections started to subside, and now, years later, she has never had another ear infection. She is a happy, healthy, lively toddler now, not a sickly little girl. Copyright 2000, KA

It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with their sinus and allergy problems. Also they come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few. A large percentage of Americans no longer have health insurance and those who do have it have found that their benefits are being reduced as each year passes. Deductibles are rising, and restrictive HMO’s are now common. That’s where my practice comes in. I have found a way so that more people are able to afford the care they need, people with or without health insurance. A whole week of care in my office could cost what you’d pay for just one visit elsewhere.
“It Shouldn’t Cost an Arm and a Leg to Correct Your Health” You should know a little about my qualifications. That’s important so that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care. I’m a graduate of both the University of Florida and Cleveland Chiropractic College (a prestigious 4 year program). I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro-athletes alike. I just offer a lower initial fee so more people can get the care they need. My office is called Advanced Family Chiropractic and it is at 1020 Ken Pratt Blvd in Longmont, CO (on the west side of the Safeway plaza). My phone number is 303-772-8311. Please call my wonderful assistant Karen today to make an appointment. Thank you. -Dr. Jessica Thompson P.S.: When accompanied by the first, I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $39.

editors’ notes
Fall is my most favorite time of year – not only for the significant cool down from summer temperatures, but for the beautiful colors that decorate the landscape. I can’t help but marvel at the changing of the leaves from their summer shades of green to vibrant reds, oranges and yellows for the fall. We have quite a few trees in our yard, and while not all of them are large enough to rake up the leaves from beneath them, the front yard has a pretty large tree that always gives us plenty of leaves for cleanup. Last fall, in an attempt to clean up the leaves that had finally all reached the ground, the neighbor children thought it would be fun to help and offered their assistance in raking. As soon as one pile was made, the fun began! For our chocolate lab, Dirk, leaves flying through the air and kids running in circles around him signaled all kinds of fun. He joined in the chaos, grabbing leaves in his mouth and rolling in the piles. It was pure bliss for such a happy puppy! When we finally succeeded at getting all of the leaves into piles again, there seemed to be much less than we had started with. What I hadn’t noticed were the kids siphoning leaves from our yard and stowing them in their parents’ yard across the street. “With your leaves and ours we’ll have tons of fun!” one of them exclaimed. It was harmless fun and a wonderful part of what makes the fall season so great. I just hope they didn’t tell their parents where the extra leaves came from!

While writing for the magazine is one of my all-time favorite projects, this one in particular was special. We not only chose to write about all of the great pastimes afforded to us in the fall, but I in particular was able to step back in time and rediscover my youth when I visited Triple Creek Ranch in Longmont.

While on the ranch, I remembered how great it feels to step away from the hustle of daily life and simply wind down surrounded by nature. And what’s better than that? It’s doing it while riding a horse. Growing up on a farm, this life is second nature to me. But one, I am sad to say, I have left behind except for the occasional visit made home. Visiting Triple Creek Ranch and speaking with the women and girls, reminded me of the special bond I once shared with my horse, Thunder, and the many rides we shared. While the writing about the world of horses was reminiscent of my youth, I also discovered the art of vibrational healing and the effects it can have on a person. I look forward to stopping by Solar Yoga and experiencing a session performed by Kelly MacInnis. I hope you enjoy this magazine as much as we have reveled in putting it together. Come on an adventure with us, explore the magazine and discover the many pleasures our community has to offer.

T
he music, the words, the collaboration of creating a melody is what draws members to express themselves through song within the Longmont Chorale. Made up of community members, the group averages between 90 and 100 people who gather to sing music ranging from Broadway to pop to symphony and Latin masses. “It’s fun. The literature is so varied,” says Scott Hamlin, artistic director of Longmont Chorale. In an average season, the Chorale performs four concerts. The upcoming season will be their 74th, and Hamlin says they plan to continue to invite special guest groups “so the music can stretch across all genres.” The one thing that makes the Longmont Chorale unique is that it is non-auditioned. If you like to sing, more than likely you can sing with the chorale. “You don’t have to have a great voice; it’s a non-threatening atmosphere,” says Karen Martin, accompanist of the Longmont Chorale. “It’s friendly and new people are always welcome. There is no I in team; everyone wants to help.” If interested in joining, it is as easy as stopping by a Monday night practice and seeing what it is all about. “Come and see what it’s like before joining,” Martin says. For those who are a little more serious about their singing, The Chorale Singers is a special niche within the Chorale who perform high-quality music. This group is one you must audition for. While the Chorale has come a long way from its roots, it hasn’t strayed from the original purpose of singing for the community. The idea of gathering such a group began with Albert James, who moved to Longmont in 1928 after graduating from Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kan. In college he participated in the Bethany College Oratario Society’s Messiah Festival. Inspired, James organized a performance of the Easter portion of Handel’s “Messiah” with 25 singers for the Longmont community. The year was 9

(Lewis Geyer) annual performance of the “Messiah” and Theodore Dubois’ “Seven Last Words of Christ” was performed to celebrate the country’s bicentennial. Today, as the group continues to expand, it offers four community concerts – fall, Christmas, spring and May. In addition, other groups have also blossomed out of the Chorale – The Chorale Singers organized in 1991, The Heartland Quartet in 1995 and Sugar Beats in 2010. As the group looks toward its 75th anniversary, they plan to go back to the beginning for a day and offer an Easter community concert much like the first one performed. The Chorale hopes to include former members, as well as area churches to join in the festivities. As far as the future, the group of voices plan to continue their journey of bringing music from around the world to the Longmont community. Check it Out

Joining Families Second chance at love makes for one big family BY KRISTI RITTER PHOTOS BY JOSHUA BUCK
With six children ages 4 to 12, there are bound to be some rough times for parents Jesse Terrell and Heidi Stanley when they join their two families on Labor Day in an intimate family wedding. It will be a time to celebrate the love they’ve found this second time around. Terrell and Stanley each have three children from previous marriages, making for one big family when they’re all together. The size of their new family didn’t scare them though, as they focused on how all eight of them can grow even stronger with each other. “The way that we’ve come together and grown with each other is amazing,” Terrell says. “I had come to realize that I didn’t want to be alone. I wanted my kids to see how a relationship works well, and what it’s like to have two parents who interact and support each other and the family.” Terrell and Stanley met about three years ago. But the connection between their families started much earlier. Stanley’s dad is a pastor, and seven years ago Terrell’s parents began helping out at the church. After her
divorce, Stanley started cleaning houses, eventually taking on Terrell’s parents’ home and his. “I cleaned Jesse’s house for eight months before we actually met,” she says. On a day when Terrell came home from work early, he found Stanley still there. “I didn’t want to bother her so I sat out in the driveway for a while before finally making my way in.” Two weeks later, they went out on their first date. The connection between them grew, and they found their conversation to mesh, talking about their love for the same type of music, their passion in life and a maturity in each other beyond most people they had met. They came to support each other to get through things and be strong for their children. The connection between everyone in the family was so natural that by the time they figured out how to make everything work, there was no going back, only forward into a life with one big family. The children get along really well. Stanley’s three girls – Jade, 9; Jordan, 7; and FALL 2010

Hannah Terrell, 12, and Jade Stanley, 9, get a push from Jesse Terrell while playing at Flanders Park.
Jennalee, 4 – live with their mother full-time. Terrell’s children – Hannah, 12; Andrew, 10; and Catherine, 8 – spend their time equally with their dad and mom. Once the vows are exchanged on Labor Day weekend, the family will join officially under one roof in Boulder, where Terrell lives. However, they do hope to eventually buy a home in Longmont, where Stanley has resided. Although they aren’t in the same home yet, the family has already tackled many of the issues of parenting and acting as a family. Blending parenting styles has developed a great partnership between the two, who have worked to become even stronger. “We always encourage each other, and Jesse is constantly learning and wanting to do better,” Stanley says. “Heidi has really helped me with my parenting,” he says. “We have six individuals with different personalities, so it’s all about being more sensitive to all of their feelings.” For Stanley’s girls, it took them a while to lower their guard and learn to trust Jesse after their father left. There are still a lot of questions they ask, such as if Terrell will continue to be there, if they’ll still see Nana and Papa and what they might loose when they move into Jesse’s house. But the key has been to keep communica-
tion lines open. They continue to ask the children questions and talk to them about all the changes. While the move hasn’t taken place, they know there will be some challenges in terms of change and a new home to address with each child. “We know it’s going to be different and we will deal with things. But at least we’ll all be under one roof,” Stanley says. The scheduling of the big family will be a tough challenge, especially for Stanley, who will be holding down the home front. “I love it though. That’s what being a mom is all about!” With a solid foundation in place for family, structure, routine and togetherness have become more important. While school routines will soon take over, weekdays in the summer have been spent at swim lessons and having fun at local parks. Saturdays have become a big tae kwon do day for five of the children taking lessons. Sunday centers around their faith in God and devotion to church in the morning, rest and relaxation in the afternoon, and family fun night. Playing games has become a lot of fun, while they all cook dinner together, make popcorn and watch movies, and even play tickle. However, Terrell admits that with six children against the two of them, they usually lose. At the top of their list, however, is spending time together. “I love the feeling that we can be whole again and that we have found love in each other,” Stanley says. “Everyday we’re thankful that we’ve been given this second chance.“ While Terrell and Stanley realize it’s not possible to do both roles in parenting, the respect they’ve found for each other gives them the support they need to raise their children. “We’ll tag team it,” Terrell says. “I love knowing we’ll grow old with each other.”
Jennalee Stanley, 4, plays on the swingset. Jennalee's mother, Heidi, will marry Jesse Terrell on Labor Day weekend and the couple will combine their families. FALL 2010

FOR THE LADIES Denim Denim has been a staple in the fashion world year after year. However, this time around, Erica Dahl, owner and buyer of Savvy on Pearl in Boulder, thinks denim on top will be a huge hit. “Everything from jean jackets to chambray button downs will be big this fall,” Dahl says. “Just make sure you keep it sophisticated and polished.” Velour and Velvet Although these two are great for winter, they were seen up and down the fall runways. Velvet was seen in technicolor (burnt orange and crimson), two popular colors for the fall. In
color and material, this is a flashback of the ‘70s. Turtlenecks “I love turtlenecks!” Dahl says. When buying turtlenecks, make sure they are fitted and “wear them with something sexy on the bottom.” Turtlenecks are also great with big knitted sweaters – another staple of fall 2010 fashion. Shearling Jackets According to Shopbop.com, shearling jackets are all the rage this fall. They are being shown in short, medium and longer lengths. Get yourself one in leather or suede. You may even have one tucked away somewhere that you forgot about from years ago.

TAKING OVER THE STAGE
80 performances later, Dell says the theater has become a big family BY KATE FRASURE
Niwot High School junior Emma Dell started with Jesters Dinner Theater when she was 10 years old. Now, 80 performances later, the 16-year-old is taking on the classic Disney character roles of Jafar and Mulan in the theaters upcoming productions. Not only has Jesters become a place her family has become a part of, it has also given her friends for life. Q: What do you like most about Jesters? A: I love Jesters; it is like a family. It is not a really serious environment and you get to experiment with acting. You get to really get into and know your part.
Q: What has been one of your favorite productions? A: Scrooge, which is a play off of Charles Dicken’s “A Christmas Carol.” It is a tradition that we do every year and it is fun because everybody knows the show. Even though we have just a little part, we are with friends and having a good time. I think we are on our 21st time of putting on the show.
Q: What does it feel like to be on stage in front of a big audience? A: So much fun. I would not give it up for anything. It is the best feeling to go out afterward and have a huge crowd applauding for you.
Q: How do you balance school and rehearsals? A: You definitely learn good time-management skills. A lot of times I will bring homework with me and work on it in between. I got on top of it this past year – rehearsing and getting homework done – but other performers have a harder time managing.
Q: Does your family play a big role in your acting? A: My whole family is a part of it. My mom comes to every show and my brother is a part of Jesters with me. My dad actually played the guitar off stage for one of our performances, too.
Q: What are your future plans? Do you plan to pursue a career in acting?
Paul Litman
A: I think acting is a good thing to have as a hobby and it could be fun to give a shot at Hollywood, but I would rather go to college and get a degree. Possibly pursue becoming a feature writer.
Q: Any advice for other teens your age who would like to act? A: Nobody judges you at Jesters, just go for it!

Numbness/Tingling? Longmont, CO—Do you suffer from Numbness and Tingling down the arms or legs? Most numbness/tingling sufferers have no idea what to do when they experience these symptoms. Although there are many causes of numbness/tingling one of the main reasons is damage to the joints, ligaments, and discs in the neck or low back. Damage may have occurred as a result of an injury or could have developed slowly over time. In addition to pain, damaged spinal joints and discs (cushion between the bones) will place pressure on the nerves that go down the arms, hand, fingers, and even the upper back. This ‘pressure’ is the cause of numbness/tingling. See Figure 1. When left untreated, pain and weakness in the muscles may be the eventual result. Generally, most of you resort to medication use. When the problem is in the neck or lower back, using over-the counter, and even prescribed drugs to fix the cause of the problem is not the answer for many. And if medication fails, surgery might be considered the only other alternative. Dr. Steven Joseph, DC and Dr. Steven O’Dell, DC want to let you know that there is another way. Come see what has given thousands of people relief within this state-ofthe-art facility using over 50 types of Spinal Traction, Decompression, and Power PlateTM Vibration Technology - used by astronauts.

VIBRATIONAL HEALING Kelly MacInnis is a meditation instructor and intuitive facilitator of sound healing by using vibrational sound created by a variety of different sized quartz crystal singing bowls. (Paul Litman)
Crystal bowls offer vibrational healing BY SUMMER STAIR
It may seem a little outside the box and New Age, but vibrational healing through sounds and music has been used for centuries. Kelly MacInnis, of Creation Songs in Longmont, says while still considered an alternative therapy, vibrational healing should be considered for something as simple as a common cold, eliminating or at least minimizing stress or emotional trauma, or even adjunct with other therapies for something as serious as cancer. The process is a noninvasive, touch free, drug free, inexpensive and simple method of stimulating the body and mind from the inside out. MacInnis offers vibrational healing through crystal bowls that are used along with meditation. The bowls offer a physical feeling of meditation, while the sound and different frequencies interrupt the brain’s normal processing. As little as 15 minutes can make you feel better, simply by eliminating undue stress and offering a more relaxed state of mind and body, he says. “The bowls aren’t healing you, they are putting you in a state to heal yourself,” MacInnis says. “The bowls are giving you the ability to relax yourself into better health. Sometimes we need to stop focusing on the problem to find the solution.”
26
Multimedia & Check it Out Learn more about vibration healing at www.longmont magazine.com. Get more information at www.creationsongs.com, or stop by Solar Yoga, 645 Tenacity Drive, Longmont, where you can experience the crystal bowls every Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
MacInnis knows that Western medicine has its place and he does not promote vibrational healing to cure things such as cancer, but he does believe it can help. “What it comes down to is your attitude,” he says. “If you believe it is something that is going to help it will, the more you believe the better.” As a culture today, people are always on overdrive and busy. MacInnis promotes stepping back and trying to live in the moment instead of internalizing and over thinking everything that happens throughout the day and over a lifetime. This can be hard as many of these actions are learned responses, but eventually will help a person lead a more healthy life emotionally and physically because they will not have undue stress or emotion in their lives. “If you come you can feel it the first time,” he says. “What happens afterwards is up to you.” While mediation takes time to learn and master, vibrational healing with the crystal bowls can help a person enter the state needed. “The sound gives your body circulation to heal and the bowls give you the opportunity to change the way you think and act. Healing is where you find it,” he says. “The extent to which you can heal yourself is up to you.”

Local company brings Buffalo meat home BY ALI WALD Jeff Keith owns Red Road Buffalo, which sells the products throughout the area. (Paul Litman)
Buffalos have been roaming the plains for thousands of years, making it the original red meat humans were intended to eat. As a lean meat with less fat, more protein and high levels of iron, buffalo is great for the body. Longmont resident Jeff Kieth recognized the benefits of eating buffalo and wanted to make it more readily available to people, creating his company, Red Road Buffalo, in 2008. Selling the extensive line of buffalo products is a lot of fun for Kieth, who works with clients to host a meet and greet with the opportunity to try these mouth watering items. With Kieth as the chef, he brings the items to the home and cooks for 20 to 30 people at a time. All the client has to do is provide beverages.

to buy from Kieth’s truck freezer. As a caterer since 2003, Kieth says it was this experience that sparked the meat and greet idea. As well as doing the private parties, he often cooks his meats at events. He recently cooked at the Boulder Creek Festival and for Cinco de Mayo in Denver. Red Road Buffalo produces more than just meats. “We’re about utilizing the whole animal,” Kieth says. His home is filled with hats, skulls, coats and drums all made out of parts of the buffalo. The winter buffalos’ coats are used to make the robes since the fur is more plentiful, and in the summer their hide is stripped of the fur and used to make drums. Kieth also makes award-winning bison jerky. Teaming up with a long-time jerky maker, the bison jerky is free of MSG, nitrates and nitrites. It is approved to sell throughout the country, and can be purchased through him or in stores.

An Eye in the Sky Astronomy keeps club members looking to the universe for amazing sites BY KRISTI RITTER

Even though he is the owner of one of the largest amateur telescopes in the state, Gary Garzone wasn’t always an astronomy buff. Growing up, he hated numbers in school. He didn’t want to figure things out, but loved the visual viewings of the night sky. By his late 20s, some astronomers got him into the hobby and he purchased his first telescope – a 4-inch-diameter he still owns today. From there, he worked his way up, adding several other telescopes to his collection, gradually increasing size. About 10 years ago, he purchased a kit to make his largest telescope yet, the 30-inch mammoth that takes a small trailer to transport. Building every aspect from scratch, Garzone builds the telescopes but purchases the mirrors, as they need to be precise to capture everything. “The two most critical things in the telescope are the eye piece and the mirror,” he says. Although one would think the larger the telescope the more magnification one gets,
that’s not the case. In actuality, the larger the telescope the more one sees in the universe. Garzone joined the Longmont Astronomical Society in 1987, the year it was founded. Today, the group consists of about 70 core members, including engineers, janitors, mail carriers, scientists and electricians. A nonprofit education organization, LAS was founded to enhance public awareness of amateur astronomy. Monthly meetings provide lectures on various astronomy topics and space sciences. The club also sponsors star parties for interested groups – quite often schools – at which others can view the stars and learn about astronomy through members’ first-hand views. Club president Vern Raben is a seven-year member of the club, but a life-long observer of the night sky. As a child growing up in northwest Nebraska, Raben had his share of dark night skies to observe. About eight years ago, his brother invited him to a star party here in Colorado, peaking FALL 2010

Astrophography is the newest rage for astronomers Brian Kimball is noted by several Longmont Astronomical Society members as being the best astrophotographer in the area. Combining his loves for photography and astronomy has been a great passion of his for years. But the advances in the science behind capturing the universe has greatly changed. When Kimball started looking at the moon through his older brother’s telescope, the only way people could take pictures of the night’s sky was using film cameras and then developing it all. “You never knew if anything turned out until the film came back,” he says. “Things are much easier since things went digital.” But even in the advent of the digital-photography age, capturing the images of the universe take time. Because objects in the sky are so faint, he takes several photos of the objects and combines them for a final image. “On average, I combine 36 images to make one.” Kimball uses a black-and-white camera and captures images through red, green and blue filters to create the finished color image. And while it takes time to take pictures in this manner, Kimball says the processing is the most fun. Capturing images from the night sky involves a computer control that tracks the images. “Everything you take pictures of is moving, so you have to track it all,” he says. “Then you have all the data to put together.” Fellow club member Gary Garzone got into astrophography after learning from Kimball. Garzone shoots in color, making his editing time of photos captured much shorter, but he feels he still has a lot to learn. “For me, it’s the wow factor of the universe,” Garzone says. “And I love that I can do this at my own pace, on my own time, and I don’t have to take a test at the end of the night.” Kimball enjoys capturing eclipses in photos, as well as meteors. And while everything has a season, there is always something different to look at in the sky. “But what I like most is seeing the final image on the computer.” – KRISTI RITTER

his interest once again in the hobby and persuading him to join the Longmont club. Raben and Garzone enjoy working with local schools, sponsoring star parties on behalf of the club. Quite often, the fall’s first quarter of school is the best time to get classes out to view the night sky because it gets darker much earlier. Sandstone Ranch in Longmont is a great place for local star parties, at which students can look through a variety of telescopes. The club provides educational materials about astronomy, and club members talk about the hobby and what students are viewing. “I love the educational outreach we do with local students and people,” Garzone says. Viewing the night sky with nature around you is amazing to both Raben and Garzone. “Astronomy is really fun with a group of people who are excited about viewing the night sky,” Raben says. “And to understand the science behind it makes it great to view simply gorgeous objects in the sky.” For club member John Figoski, the personal experience of connecting with these things in the universe is what he finds most rewarding. “I love the solitude of being outside,” he says. “Even if I find things just with my human eye, I can map it out and find it on the telescope, where the vision is quite amazing.” Figoski grew up in Houston and took to his backyard with a telescope. But what got him completely hooked was the 1966 Leonid meteor shower, which was a phenomenal display of thousands of meteors per hour. However, just John Figoski has a few telescopes, but primarily uses his 12.5 inch diameter Newtonian telescope that he built in 1977. He has updated it multiple times since then, but now uses it as his primary observing tool. (Courtesy John Figoski)

being a kid at the time, he had to go back to bed, missing a lot of the big bursts of meteors that showered down. Figoski built his first telescope when he was in eighth grade. He went on to earn a masters degree in optical design that led him to his career as an engineer at Ball Aerospace, where he eventually designed the optical system for the QuickBird telescope satellite. In his hobby-career, Figoski has made three or four telescopes throughout his life and enjoys viewing the skies a few times a month, usually around a new moon. Primary observing areas for him and other club members are the Pawnee Grasslands northeast of Fort Collins and Fox Park west of Laramie, Wyo. The social side of astronomy is also a big appeal, as everyone gets together to talk about their findings. “I’m very interested in galaxies, so springtime galaxy hunting is what really excites me now,” Figsoki says. His primary telescope is a 12.5-inch diameter Newtonian telescope he built in 1977 and has updated multiple times since. Recently, the LAS has been building a meteor camera that will give a real-time image of the night sky at Niwot Ridge, which is located about 8 miles from Nederland. With phase one of this project complete, the club’s next goal is to build an observatory next year that can be used for club and public viewing.

PRESERVE YOUR GARDEN
Enjoy your garden year-round with canning, drying, freezing, fermentation
Preserve Your Food BY SUMMER STAIR
You’ve spent the summer weeding, watering and caring for your garden. Your dinner table has been filled with dishes that have incorporated the fresh vegetables. And suddenly, as the nights become cooler and the days shorter, you realize your own personal backyard buffet is soon to be over. But wait, there is a way you can keep enjoying it – food preservation. Anne Zander, family and consumer sciences extension agent for the Colorado State University Extension of Boulder County, says how a person preserves their food is up to them and often depends on the type of lifestyle they lead, as well as the size of their garden. Preserving food can be done in any quantity and can be done by canning, freezing, drying or fermentation. Here is a guide to help get you get started.
and salsas, where pressure canning is for low-acid foods, such as vegetables and meats.
Canning Canning can be done in small or large batches and can be done either in a boiling water bath or a pressure canner, depending on what you are canning. Boiling water baths are for high-acid foods, such as jellies, fruits, pickles
While pressure canning has gained a bad reputation throughout the years, it is completely safe, Zander says. Today’s pressure canners, not pressure cookers, have safety latches and gauges that will tell you if the pressure has gotten too high. According to Zander, 99

A boiling water bath requires a stock pot with a rack in the bottom and a lid, and the ability to have at least 1 inch of water above the tops of the jars, as well as water around the body of the jar including the bottom. Zander recommends for small batches of canning to use the Discovery Kit from Ball, which comes with a basket/rack that holds the jars within the pot. Once you have the supplies, all that is required is a tested canning recipe. A good rule of thumb for high altitude canning is for every 1,000 feet above sea level, add 1 minute to the recipe. Zander says it is safe to assume that all recipe times are not for high altitudes, unless it specifically says so.

percent of accidents with a pressure canner have happened when a person leaves the room and doesn’t keep an eye on the gauge and latch. Low-acid foods that are canned in this way can also be frozen or dried. Freezing Freezing produce from the garden or fruit from the tree can be a great option, depending on the size of your freezer and how much you have grown. Items that are frozen are good for one year as long as it was done properly. After that, the produce will lose flavor and nutritive value. Follow these steps for a safe, quality product. 1. Blanch – This will heat the product and kill the growth enzyme. This is important so the food stops growing and doesn’t turn color. All you have to do is boil the produce in water for a couple of minutes and it is blanched. 2. Cool it down – Immediately following blanching of the product, chill it in ice water. 3. Drain the produce from all excess water. 4. Package it and freeze – Make sure all produce is put into an air-tight container or bag and labeled. Maximize space in your freezer by storing horizontally. To make sure your bags are airtight, use a straw to suck access air out before closing the bag. Drying Drying is perfect for fruits, veggies and meats, and is known for intensifying flavor. All that is required is a dehydrator that has a temperature control and fan. To keep produce from
discoloring, Zander says to dip produce in lemon juice, citric acid or Fruit Fresh. If your produce does discolor, that’s OK; it will still taste good and be safe to eat. So go crazy with jerky, fruit and veggie leather, dried herbs and veggie and banana chips – the options are endless. Fermentation Fermentation is great for making your own yogurt, wines from the produce you have grown or even flavored vinegar. Find a tested recipe and go for it. However, Zander cautions that fermentation is made straight from the produce so make sure it is well cleaned to prevent e-coli and salmonella. To ensure it is clean, run the produce under water for 20 seconds. It is OK to swish it in water if you need to get dirt off, but then make sure to hold it under running water. Now you should be ready to get started and have an idea of what type of preservation fits your life best. Make sure when you choose a recipe that is tested, especially when canning. “Just because it’s on the Internet, in a fancy book or on a cooking show, doesn’t mean the information is accurate,” Zander says.
Preservation Safety Anne Zander, family and consumer sciences extension agent for the Colorado State University Extension Office, gave the following safety information. • Use jars specifically made for canning. Don’t use jars that look different from canning jars currently on the market. Avoid jars with chipped edges that can affect the seal or cause splintering or cracking. Use the size of jar the recipe calls for because it could take longer to achieve the critical internal temperature needed in a larger jar. • Use the two-piece lids made specifically for canning. The rings may be reused until they become rusty. Do not reuse the lids because they have a sticky compound on them that seals the jar that can’t be reused. Heat lids in hot, but not boiling water, or the compound won’t seal. • If you are using a pressure canner on a regular basis, get it checked annually to make sure the gauge and safety latch are still in good working condition. You can have it checked at the CSU Extension in Longmont for $10. • Do not use steam canners on the market because they do not reach a high enough temperature to get the internal temperature needed to make the produce safe to store on shelves. • All produce whether canned, frozen or dried, is typically good for one year. • To prevent e-coli and salmonella make sure produce is held under running water and cleaned for 20 seconds. • If you are ever unsure of a recipe or have a recipe of your own you want to can, contact the local extension office to make sure it is safe for preservation.

The World of Horses Women discover a family-like bond on the ranch It’s like a painting when you first step foot onto the grounds of Triple Creek Ranch in Longmont. The 64-acre ranch sprawls before you like a gift of nature – trees reach toward the sky, hilly meadows are flanked by riding arenas and stalls are full of horses beckoning for attention. The barns are full of women, young and old, milling around chatting, others are watching riders taking lessons, while some are preparing for a ride. Whatever each person is doing, the flow in the barn is smooth and magical. No one gets in the others way, and they all know what they should be doing and if they don’t someone will show them. The women at Triple Creek Ranch understand one another; they are there for the same reason – they love horses. “It’s an addiction and you have to have it,” says Lynn McChesney, owner and operator of Triple Creek Ranch. “It’s romantic, it’s spiritual and it fills you up inside.” Since opening the ranch 20 years ago, McChesney has marveled at the amount of women who have found themselves through being on the ranch much like she has. Whether it has been a little girl who dreams of riding horses, an adult who has returned to riding or who is finally ready to fulfill their childhood dream, or a mother who had discovered a love while watching their 36

daughter, McChesney has seen it all. “This is just the joy you find,” she explains. But what really brings these women back? “Riding a horse is very emotional,” says Jen Shannon, trainer and owner of Cornerstone Farm, which operates out of Triple Creek Ranch. “There’s a connection with the animal that draws women in. It’s a trust and a bond.” Annie Goss, a student of Cornerstone and an apprentice for Triple Creek Ranch, started coming to the ranch when she was 6 years old at her mom’s urging. Now, at age 12, she finds herself spending all of her free time there riding, visiting and helping out wherever she can. “I love the people, the facility, the friendly environment,” she says. “Most of all, I love the horses and their personalities. They’re all unique and different, like people.” While Goss has found herself at the ranch, many have returned to rediscover something from childhood that they miss in their lives. Eliza Woloson started riding when she was 8 years old and was showing by the time she was 9. Now older and a mom, she has returned to riding and comes to Triple Creek to do just that. She has even started bringing her daughter, who is starting from the beginning and “working for it.” FALL 2010

HYPNOTHERAPY
n the midst of our hectic, crowded lives, energy is crucial in completing all of our tasks. It is what peels us out of bed in the morning, helps us focus throughout the day and drags us to late night PTA meetings. While signs of energy can be seen in the physical body, it can be controlled and altered in the mind. Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic procedure used to calm a patient into a relaxed state of mind, in which their focus and concentration are heightened. When the subconscious is reached, a hypnotherapist can identify bad thoughts and negative energy which are harmful to a patient’s health. Under hypnosis, a patient is more prone to accepting and following suggestions later on. Suggestions in thinking are given by the hypnotherapist to aid the patient in healthier behavior, such as telling the patient to be grateful of their family when they see the color blue. Rachel Mullis Koenigsberg, clinically certified hypnotherapist at the Lac Holistic Wellness Center in Longmont, uses hypnotherapy to help patients achieve more energy through their subconscious. “The first thing we talk about is defining energy,” she says. “The more you can educate a person about what’s going on, the more power they can have to change it.” According to Mullis, we are all made up of energy. Sometimes it’s high and sometimes it’s low. The amount we have is determined by our state of mind. Mullis defines energy by having ease in the body. If the mind is cluttered with complaints, negative thoughts or troubled thinking, the body will have less energy. Hypnosis studies the subconscious mind to understand the underlying thoughts and behaviors that cause low energy in the conscious mind. To explore her patient’s subconscious mind, Mullis asks questions that evoke other thoughts in the mind. “I think we are multi-dimensional beings,” she says. “We are physical and emotional people and we have mental energy.” Once her patient is in a relaxed state, she gives them suggestions on how to change their thinking and attitudes. These suggestions target the patient’s mental energy, whether it be coping with trauma, overcoming emotional challenges or handling life experiences. By dealing with the mind, hypnotherapy helps patients find results fast. Once patients identify what is contributing to their low energy, they can develop techniques to release old thoughts and connect with their ability to make positive changes. “The body and mind connection can be explained in a computer metaphor,” she says. “The mind holds all the programming and tells the body what to do.” Like computers, the mind works slower with old programming or old negative thoughts. The mind craves fresh thoughts and positive energy to work properly. Mullis says what you focus on expands. “If you focus on not having any energy, you will have less and less, she says. “Focus on thoughts of life and vitality and your shift in thinking will immediately impact your body.”

Thanks to Hopes Float, people with special needs or disabilities can now experience the joy that being out on the water brings to so many people. Hopes Float is a 501 nonprofit project which provides a fun and engaging boating and fishing experience for the special needs and disabled community along the Colorado Front Range. The concept was formulated in 2002, but wasn’t up and running until 2008. It took the board of directors quite a while to find a boat and raise money to get the project running. Once they received the boat, they made it handicap accessible by adding a wheelchair ramp and locks. Judy Watt, one of their many clients says, “What they’re doing is really awesome. They do it from their heart and it’s very rare you find that.” Watt has been taking her daughter, Christina Watt, out on the boat for the past three summers and brings their extended family along to enjoy the day with them. “It’s a great experience for her to be with the family and particiTIMES-CALL / LONGMONT MAGAZINE

This unique experience is completely free. Executive director Stephanie Adams says, “Folks with disabilities have enough financial hurdles to get over, so we didn’t want to put up any more barriers.” Beyond the free boat trip, Hopes Float provides all of the necessary fishing equipment. This is made possible by grants, donations and corporate sponsorships that the organization receives. Adams enjoys seeing the smiles and joy the trips bring to people of all ages. However, she doesn’t know what’s better – getting the kids out because of their enthusiasm and joy on their face, or getting the seniors, who used to fish, and hearing their stories. Check it Out If you’re interested in boating with Hopes Float, all you have to do is call and set up a trip for any day of the week. They will meet you at any lake you want and accommodate your groups’ needs. To learn more about this Longmont organization and how it helps, or to volunteer, call 303-651-0849 or visit www. hopesfloat.org.
When Mark Waldron discovered Hopes Float in the summer of 2008, he was immediately interested in the program’s outreach to help the disabled and elderly. Being on the water isn’t new to Waldron, who has experience as a fishing guide. But that wasn’t the deciding factor to volunteer with Hopes Float. “I just wanted to do it to help peoWaldron ple,” he says. “It’s not about the fishing; it’s about the whole experience on the water with the elderly or disabled.” Passing the Colorado Boaters Safety Course, Waldron became captain of the boat. In addition to arranging meeting places and calling in volunteers, he is in charge of picking up the boat, taking it to the water and driving it. “Mark is just awesome,” says Stephanie Adams, executive director. “There is a group who specifically requests Mark to be their captain.” But what keeps Waldron involved with the organization is the smiles he sees from his clients on the water. Every experience is equally rewarding, but he does remember some that stand out in his mind, especially when a 93-year-old woman caught a fish. “She hadn’t fished in 35 years. She had the greatest time of her life. It made her feel young again.” With more than 70 volunteers on staff, Hopes Float is always looking for more due to their increasing trip requests. Anyone older than 16 can volunteer with the organization, and fishing knowledge isn’t a requirement. To volunteer for Hopes Float, contact Adams at 303-651-0849.

DISCOVERING ANTIQUES
Antiquing is more than a hobby BY KATE FRASURE
Who knows how many people passed by or looked straight past the massive armoire at Tables to Teacups Indoor Flea Market? Until one afternoon, it stopped Heather Meriwether in her tracks. Meriwether and her mother knew there was no room for the armoire in their small Longmont apartment. But after one restless night, there was no question the piece was destined to be theirs. “It just feeds my imagination,” she says. “It made me wonder if it talked what could it tell me.” Meriwether has always had an unexplained attraction to turn-of-the-century pieces. Even as a child, she says she was attracted to older pieces. “I knew I was different when I would go to a friend’s house and I would say I love that piece and my friends would be like, ‘that old thing.’” Marlena Tooney, owner of Tables to Teacups Indoor Flea Market, says those who antique are generally drawn to the memories pieces bring back. She says each piece has it’s own personality just like each person. The piece someone buys generally reflects the personality of that person. “It is a one-on-one relationship,” she says. “Something jumps out and says take me home.” Tooney’s son, Brandon Tooney, says each piece tells it’s own story and that story grows with each person it ends up with. “Antiquing is a life. You just have to dig for it.” He says the most important thing to look for in an antique is the craftmanship. The piece won’t be perfect if it

was made by hand versus a machine, which weren’t used as much years ago. Each stitch will be different if it is done by hand. Tooney adds it is becoming more easier to differentiate pieces because so much work is done by machines now. “It’s comfortable,” both Tooneys say of antiquing. Brandon says antiques are our heritage and history. Meriwether’s armoire tells its history just through its design. According to Meriwether, the armoire came from a hotel in Kansas. Its depth provided enough space to hold men’s suite jackets on one side and women’s dresses on the other. The rods are really close to the top because they originally held little hotel hangers. “I am just really taken,” she says. “I have a hard time watching old movies because I don’t pay attention to the movie. I pay attention to the clothes and furniture.” While Meriwether has no room in her apartment between her great aunt’s antiques and the few pieces she and her mom have collected, she is still taken by so many pieces. “My ideal dream would be to get a Victorian home and then clean Tables to Teacups out to furnish it.”

LOCATING LONGMONT’S FALL COLOR
Best places to see fall foliage The cool breeze and various colors of red, yellow and purple make fall Colorado’s time to shine. “It is nature at its best,” says Ken Wucklund, Longmont forestry supervisor. Wicklund says while scientists don’t know all the reasons, light and temperature are the two main reasons leaves change color in the fall. Trees sense the change in hours of daylight since in the winter season there are shorter days and longer nights. “The warm days and cool, cool nights cause the green pigment called chlorophyll to break down and disappear,” he says. As the chlorophyll begins to disappear the colors of red, orange and yellow start to show through. Wicklund says Colorado generally has more yellows than any other color, however, they are trying to bring in more reds, oranges and purples. Aspen, elm and ash trees are responsible for the dominant yellow color most commonly seen, while trees in the red oak family show more of the red and purple coloring. “Chinkapine is a new tree we have been planting,” Wicklund says. “It has a combo of red, orange and yellow.” This fall season see Colorado at its best weather in the Rocky Mountains or in town. Wicklund says two spots not to miss in Longmont are: • Northside of Sixth Avenue and Sherman Street features four to five red oak trees • North Thompson Park at Fifth Avenue and Pratt Street also features various red oak trees. – KATE FRASURE Golden Ponds.

PLANTING FALL BULBS
A variety of lilies at Duran’s Hobby Acres Greenhouse. (Paul Litman)
50
When beach towels are replaced with jackets, and the warm, summer nights get shorter, it is time to savor the final drops of the season. Planting fall bulbs is a great way to get outside and keep the summer spirit alive. With the proper planting care and location, bulbs can be a low maintenance burst of color in the yard this spring.
Fall is the perfect time to plant bulbs for spring color BY KENDALL SCHOEMANN
Robert Duran, owner of Duran’s Hobby Acres Greenhouse north of Longmont, says before planting, people need to visualize what their yard will look like in the spring. “The sun is in a different location now than it will be in the spring,” he says. “It is very important that the bulbs won’t be blocked from the sun by a tree or house.” Bulbs require an area of direct sun and no shade. They also need to be regularly watered. Other pre-planting measures to take are checking to see that soil PH levels are between 6 and 7, plants are at least 5 feet from any structure and that the area is well drained. According to Duran, the best time to plant is directly after the first frost, ensuring the bulbs will stay cool. When storing bulbs until planting time, keep them in a cool, dry place such as a brown paper bag in the garage. Bulbs need to be firm, clean and free of mold before going in the ground. The planting location is the biggest mistake gardeners make with bulbs. As a general rule, large bulbs need to be planted 8 inches deep and 6 inches a part, while smaller bulbs should be planted 5 inches deep, 3 inches a part. “The pointy end should be facing up. Add a little bit of organic fertilizer when you dig the hole, water it well and add 3 inches of mulch immediately after
planting,” Duran says. For extra care, he waters his bulbs for three to four weeks after planting. Visualizing your spring flowers is essential in planting the right bulbs for your taste and yard. Go to a greenhouse or find pictures of bulbs in bloom so you know what your bulbs will look like. Duran says popular bulbs that do well in the local USDA zone 4 are crocuses, tulips, daffodils and irises. Make sure you know your zone before selecting bulbs. Mountains are zone 3 and flat lands are zone 5. Spend the fleeting end of summer selecting fall bulbs and picturing your colorful spring yard and enjoy your hard work in a few months. FALL 2010

CHOOSING A FEATHERED FRIEND
Do the research before selecting your new pet bird BY KENDALL SCHOEMANN
When looking for a potential pet, it is easy to see why birds are a popular choice. Their graceful demeanor, vibrant colors and affectionate personalities make them the ultimate lovable pet. While it may seem romantic to pick up your bird spontaneously, a little background research is the best foundation to ensure a long and happy relationship for pet and owner. Christine Freeman, manager of Cottonwood Kennels in Boulder, thinks potential bird owners should consider several factors before making a decision. “People do not always realize that birds can be noisy. They can outlive you by decades and they can be messy,” she says. Other things to consider are the cost of a bird’s food and toys, room for a bird cage and if the house has any other pets. The first step is deciding which bird is right for you and why you want one? Do you want to admire it from a distance or interact with it? There are two social categories to choose from: birds that like to be alone and birds that crave attention. If you want a bird that needs socialization, consider buying more than one bird. If you can’t devote enough attention one day, the birds will still have each other. “A great way for birds to get socialized is if there are more than one in the
52
Popular birds to consider are listed in order from least high maintenance to most needy of affection.
same cage,” Freeman says. Once you have narrowed down your bird, find a credible breeder or bird store that knows specific information about your ideal bird. It is important to know the bird’s health history, as well as how they were socialized so you know how to interact and care for your new pet. Heather Lyall, pet care manager at PetSmart in Longmont, warns pet owners to not underestimate a bird’s needs. “If a bird doesn’t get enough attention they can get depressed,” she says. “As a result, they can be self destructive.” Parrots, the birds notorious for attention, are also famous for their loud mouths. Although you can purchase birds that are already talking, you might have to train younger birds. Some birds like certain parakeets, parrots and cockatiels are known to be trained to talk or mimic sounds. Talking birds are fun and interactive for pet owners, but it is often difficult to control how much or how loud these birds project. Some birds can live to be 100-years-old, so it makes sense to take a little time in selecting the right bird for you. Once you have all the information you need, you can enjoy a long relationship with your aerial companion.
Canaries
Finches
Cockatiels
Amazon Parrots
These bright colored (brown, green, orange, yellow) birds do not require any interaction. They prefer not to be touched. If you would like a song bird, opt for a male or choose a quiet female.
Once they have a large cage, finches do not require much else. They like to exercise a lot, and fly around their cage frequently. They do best in social situations, so consider buying two or more.
If you desire an affectionate bird, cockatiels love to be snuggled and held. They also whistle.
These guys can talk. They crave attention and require a lot of socialization. They also need a lot of food and exercise.

Prevent expensive treatment with regular dental checkups The current rocky economy makes it more important than ever to find new ways to save money. One way to ensure this is by making regular visits to the dentist. Getting dental checkups every six months can help you avoid costly procedures later on in life. Drs. Thomas Drake and Steve Sampson of Smile Designers in Longmont say that putting off cleanings could actually allow more serious conditions to occur long term. Studies prove regular visits to the dentist help minimize the amount of plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to inflamed gums, cavities and more serious problems such as root canals or crowns. Gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss, can be prevented with regular checkups. But if tooth loss has occurred, Smile Designers suggests patients consider mini implants. A much less involved process
than conventional dental implants, mini implants provide patients with the ability to eat, smile and speak after one visit to the dentist. The non-surgical technology behind mini implants has been expanded to include anything – from replacing a single tooth to full mouth restoration. This cost effective procedure has been proven to achieve results in more than 95 percent of cases. In about 30 minutes to an hour,
Teeth In An Hour? *
you can receive a mini implant and walk out of the dentist’s office ready to enjoy the foods you wish without the long healing times and higher costs associated with conventional implants. Of course, regular checkups every six months can prevent the need for tooth loss all together. Patients will spend less money overall in prevention than they would with sporadic appointments or emergencies. “Don’t make a decision now that could effect you later on,” Sampson says. “Good oral health means spending less money, less time at the dentist’s office and less pain.” Drake and Sampson have 24 years of combined experience in treating family dental needs. They have served more than 20,000 residents and continue to accept new patients. Come be a part of the Smile Designers family today. For an appointment, call 303-678-7800.

SIMPLY BULK MARKET
Simply Bulk lets you choose the size Georgia and Philip Bratty opened Simply Bulk Market in Longmont with a belief that by not paying for the package, fancy color labels and printing the national brands use, they could save customers money on natural and organic products. They also wanted to give them the option to buy as much or as little as they wanted. Simply Bulk offers a full variety of flours (some gluten free), grains, beans, spices, granola, snacks, nuts, rice and confection along with household cleaners, pet needs and a large selection of body care products and bulk soaps. What customers will not find in the store are hydrogenated oils, corn syrup and artificial flavors or colors. Staying local was important to the owners because they wanted to support small regional businesses. Some local items found in the store include Madahva honey from Lyons, Rocky Mountain flour in Platteville, Fiona’s granola and trail mix made in Longmont, dog treats from Naturally Wild Pet in Fort Lupton, Silver Canyon coffee from Boulder and bird seed from Greeley. Customers will find Longmont’s own Blair Smallwood’s photos and Clark Fishback’s Amber Light’s beeswax candles. They believe the best recycling program is to reuse, so they encourage customers to reuse containers in all shapes and sizes (no plastic bags, please) and you’ll hear “when’s the last time you wore out a shampoo or detergent bottle?” often while in the store.

Infant Aquatics teaches children skills for life The following letter was written by a parent who enrolled her three children in Infant Aquatics.
Dear Judy, We live in Lafayette and our property is quite large and beautifully landscaped with a gorgeous water feature the kids love to splash around in during the summer. The pond, surrounded by rocks, drops to a depth of 4.5 feet. May 18th was a warm, sunny day. I was home with my two young daughters doing yard work. Saxon, my 16-month-old, had just completed her fifth week of lessons with Cynthia, but had yet to practice swimming in clothes. She and Stori, my 4-year-old, were playing on a large trampoline located next to the pond, while I was gardening. My back was turned pulling weeds in an adjacent garden when I heard Stori call for me. She said “mommy, mommy, Saxon needs you” I turned around to see Stori, standing by the water, but Saxon was nowhere in sight. My mouth
went dry, and my heart sank as I envisioned Saxon facedown at the bottom of the pond. I remember running about eight “Incredible Hulk” steps with no feeling in my legs. The pond came into view, and there was Saxon, not submerged on the bottom, but floating on her back on the surface of the water She was wearing overalls with a long sleeve shirt underneath. Her breathing was relaxed, considering the water temperature was 58 degrees. I felt calm as I made my way to where she was floating. I was so relieved; I cheered her as I laid down at the edge of the water. I continued to tell her what a great swimmer she was as I gently placed my hands under her head, re-enforcing her confidence in the floating technique she had been learning during her swim lessons. I was surprisingly very composed, and helped her float over to the side and then encouraged her to flip over and grab the edge, where I
grasped her little hands and pulled her wet body out. During the entire episode, she never cried, never even made a peep. I let her run around the sunny yard in her wet clothes and diaper for a few minutes while I regained the strength in my legs to actually take her inside to get fresh clothes and digest what had just happened. According to Stori, “Saxon fell in the water face first and rolled over to float.” Water safety has always been one of my greatest priorities, and all three of my kids have taken lessons at Infant Aquatics. I have always felt that educating children to be safe and respectful around water is paramount, because you never know when something like this might happen. Thank you over and over again Infant Aquatics Team! Sincerely, Carey Pardee Infant Aquatics, Boulder County’s only dedicated swim school for children 6 months through 6 years, is located at the Holiday Inn Express, 1355 Dry Creek Drive in Longmont.
