TAKE NOTE

S

eptember is National Suicide Prevention Month. All month, mental health advocates, prevention organizations, survivors, allies, and community members unite to promote suicide prevention awareness. If you are feeling suicidal, you are not alone and help is available. Visit The Lifeline at suicidepreventionlifeline.org or call 1-800-273-8255.

Every year, the Lifeline and other mental health organizations and individuals across the U.S. and around the world raise awareness of suicide prevention during National Suicide Prevention Month. Additionally, World Suicide Prevention Day, Sept. 10, is a time to remember those affected by suicide, to raise awareness, and to focus efforts on directing treatment to those who need it most. National Suicide Prevention Week, Sept. 9-15, is a time to share resources and stories, as well as promote suicide prevention awareness.

We can all help prevent suicide. Research shows people who are having thoughts of suicide feel relief when someone asks about them in a caring way.

Findings suggest acknowledging and talking about suicide may reduce rather than increase suicidal ideation. Individuals are more likely to feel less depressed, less suicidal, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful by after speaking to someone who listens without judgment. Studies indicate that helping someone at risk create a network of resources and individuals for support and safety can help them take positive action and reduce feelings of hopelessness.

We can all help prevent suicide. #BeThe1To is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s message for National Suicide Prevention Month and beyond.

The Lifeline network and its partners are working to change the conversation from suicide to suicide prevention, to actions that can promote healing, help and give hope. Visit bethe1to.com to learn how to make a difference. The Lifeline at suicidepreventionlifeline.org also provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals.

DID YOU KNOW?

Clear Creek County received a $1 million grant award from the Colorado Department of Local Affairs to significantly help fund construction of the Clear Creek County Collaborative Health Care Center to be built at the site of the former Idaho Springs Lumber Company.

For the past several years, health care in the county has been a priority of the commissioners and county staff. When the last independent primary care clinic closed in 2011, the county began to search for a provider—and residents in the central and west portions of the county had to travel to find health care elsewhere.

Currently, the county is under contract with the Centura Health Physicians Group, which operates a primary care clinic at the old Jacob House in Idaho Springs. The proposed new clinic design is a two-story, 12,000 square foot facility that will house a Centura primary care clinic, County Public Health and Human Resources, and other mental, physical and behavioral health providers.

Since its opening in 2017, CHPG-Idaho Springs has provided primary care for more than 8,000 patients in just 1,335 square feet of limited practice space. Although already at capacity, patient satisfaction surveys show the current clinic to have one of the highest ratings in the CHPG system.

The county purchased the former Idaho Springs lumber yard site in 2016, and has been working with an architectural firm to ensure the new clinic has the right providers and layout of space, and the ability to grow and adapt to changing needs. The county is beginning a public/private fundraising campaign to ensure additional resources are found to lessen the costs to tax payers.

While no date has been set for groundbreaking, the DOLA grant (and other donations) will move the project forward much quicker.

LIVING LOCAL HISTORY

CLEAR CREEK BREWERIES Clear Creek County has a long history of beer brewing that began when the region was first settled and continues today.

Several brewers operated breweries in the county during the gold rush period including the Otto Boche Brewery in Silver Plume (1869-1888); the Georgetown Brewery (1868-1875), Saunders & Reichart Brewery (1874-1875), John Wehr/John Summer & Bros. Brewery (1974-1884), and Fred Aldinger Brewery (1878-1883) in Georgetown; the O.L. Barnes Brewery (1869-1875), Fred Ullrich Brewery (1870-1881) and Henry W. Gaw Brewery (1875-1878) in Idaho Springs; and the Paul Lindstrom Brewery (1862-1880), and Zurwelme & Stumpf Brewery (1874-1875) in Empire. Many more opened and closed in the area before prohibition, while several others could be found in nearby Central City, Golden and Denver.

This image of Idaho Springs, thought to be captured by William Henry Jackson before 1878, shows the Alvord house, Colorado Central Railroad tracks, the Humeston house, and Henry W. Gaw Brewery before they were destroyed by a fire.

Blonde Ambition

By Jeffrey V. Smith GEORGETOWN he members of Denver-based Dakota Blonde have played and sung their way into countless hearts and souls around the globe. They hope to do it some more during the band’s performance, Sept. 21, 7-9 p.m., at the Georgetown Heritage Center, 809 Taos St. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door. Joining Dakota Blonde members on stage is Gordon Burt and multi-instrumentalist Ernie Martinez, one of the most in-demand musicians in the country.

Dakota Blonde, featuring Mary Huckins, Don Pinnella and Tony Dakota Blonde is Raddell, has one of the more distinctive acoustic sounds around. Its Don Pinnella, Mary combination of original tunes and carefully selected covers, along Huckins and Tony with their “endearing” stage presence and humor create instant fans Raddell. and a strong bond with their audiences. They are a “unique blend of heart, authenticity and contagious spirit.”

The band’s members are all trained music therapists and met working at a Denver Ernie Martinez (left) and Gordon Burt mental health facility working with emotionally troubled children and adolescents. (second from right) join the members Members never dreamed of playing in a band or recording CDs, but, according to Huckof Dakota Blonde. ins, “it just came out of working together and discovering the friendship and our same deep love for music and the desire to share it with others. We all believe very strongly in the amazing power of music.”

The band’s musical “power” will be undoubtedly working in Georgetown. “The audience can expect to have fun, to laugh and to be touched emotionally by the music,” Huckins said. “We are very spontaneous, so every show has a little bit different feel depending on the mood of the night and the audience. Many of our regulars have said, they always leave a Dakota Blonde show feeling better than when they came in. So, that is a very nice complement to our music and live performances.”

While the band’s sound is difficult to classify and contains a mix of several musical styles and tightly blended harmonies. “It is a good mixture of all the different band member’s musical influences,” Huckins explained. “We all come from large musical families, so we have influences of classic and new folk, bluegrass, Celtic, country, acoustic rock, a capella, and even classical. We kind of mix those all together for our unique Dakota Blonde sound.”

Dakota Blonde

DAKOTA BLONDE

Continued from page 10

The band’s set list tends to be a mixture of original songs— written by Huckins—and more obscure cover songs performed in the Dakota Blonde way. “There is so much great music out there that needs to be heard and needs to keep being shared, so we are all about that as well as our originals,” Huckins said.

The band’s musical magic has generated a “very loyal and loving” group of fans. “We really consider them our dear friends and Dakota Blonde family,” Huckins explained. “They lovingly call themselves ‘Blonde-heads.’ We are very thankful for that bond we have with them and with new audience members as well. We love having new people at our shows and for the Dakota Blonde family to continue to grow strong. We are who we are on and off the stage, and I think that translates genuinely to our audience…

They know we truly love doing what we do and love sharing our music and that we truly care about each and every one of them.”

Although band members enjoy the relaxed setting of playing in a bar, they “really enjoy, and probably prefer” a quieter listening environment like the Georgetown venue. “We really enjoy the smaller, intimate setting where we can see the audience and interact easily, Huckins said. “We also enjoy the story-telling that goes along with many of our songs and that is much easier in a more intimate show environment. [Georgetown Heritage Center] is such an intimate, fun, warm and inviting concert atmosphere.

We are very excited to be back! And, we love Georgetown, too.”

According to Huckins, band members also “love” when Martinez and Burt can join the band. “They both are so amazingly talented and work such magic with their musical interchange,” she said. “We are all such great friends, so I think that certainly comes across to the audience as well… it does allow us to be more ‘bluegrassy’ and Celtic with the fiddle and mandolin and banjo added to our more folky trio sound. We also make sure to include some great songs to feature their amazing playing.”

Fans of the band can look forward to an upcoming CD project with new music and more regional and international touring.

They also play a Veterans Appreciation Dinner & Concert in the Denver area, Nov. 2 and hold their annual Valentine’s Concert at Swallow Hill Music, Feb. 14, 2020.

he Big Chili Cook-Off Music & Arts Festival, Sept. 7, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., at Buchanan Park, 32003 Ellingwood Trail in Evergreen, honors local mountain firefighters and supports six mountain-area fire departments and the Blue Spruce Kiwanis Foundation. It draws a large family audience of more than 5,000 and features artisan and business vendors, food and drink vendors, a large selection of chili to sample and live entertainment.

While the popular chili cook-off and tasting, 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m., and the Firefighters Challenge, 1:30-2:15 p.m., are the main draws, the live music line-up is a close second. This year John Erlandson, Funkiphino and Buckstein are featured.

Evergreen-based Erlandson performs from 9:30 a.m.-10:45 a.m. The singer-songwriter—whose music is influenced by James Taylor, John Denver and Scottish folkicon Dougie MacLean—starts before the gates open so chili cooks have music to cook to and those waiting in line can be entertained.

Colorado’s funk sensation Funkiphino plays from Noon-1:30 p.m. The high-energy funk band infuses explosive horn lines, old-school Hammond organ sounds and pumpin’ bass with intoxicating vocal harmonies.

Denver’s hottest country-rock act, Buckstein, takes the stage for a pair of sets from 2:303:30 p.m. and 4:15-5 p.m. Buckstein’s “no-fear-of-the-edge” mentality hooks the non-country-lovin’ folk while he manages to maintain a balance of traditional vibes that will remind listeners of a modern day John Wayne.

Admission is $18 per person or $15 per person for four or more tickets if purchased by Sept. 4, 5 p.m. After that, all tickets are $20 at the gate. Children 12 years and under are free.

A free shuttle runs 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. with several pick-up points. No dogs are allowed.

Celebrating Beer World’s largest collection of beer includes area breweries

By Jeffrey V. Smith CLEAR CREEK COUNTY or the 38th consecutive year, beer lovers will gather in Denver, Oct. 3-5, at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF), the country’s preeminent beer festival and competition. This year’s GABF will offer 62,000 attendees the opportunity to choose from more than 4,000 beers from an anticipated 800 breweries, including several from Clear Creek County, El Rancho and Central City.

GABF is the largest collection of U.S. beer ever served, in the format of a public tasting event plus a privately judged competition. The event has topped beer lovers’ bucket lists since 1982 and unites beer lovers and brewers from all corners of the country to celebrate the nation’s ever-growing craft beer culture.

As one of the world’s largest and most distinguished beer competitions, GABF 2019 is anticipated to be the largest competition to date. More than 9,300 beers from approximately 2,300 brewers will vie for the coveted gold, silver and bronze medals in 107 beer style categories.

This year, independent craft breweries from the area attending the event include Guanella Pass Brewery, 501 Rose St. in Georgetown; Stein Brewing Company, 18 E. Park Ave. in Empire; Tommyknocker Brewery, 1401 Miner St. in Idaho Springs; Dostal Alley Brew Pub, 116 Main St. in Central City and El Rancho Brewing, 29260 U.S. 40 in El Rancho.

“The Guanella Pass Brewing Team loves GABF as it’s our

opportunity to come down off the mountain and be with our people in the brewing community. We especially love being in the ‘Meet The Brewer’ section as it gives us an opportunity to personally connect with festival attendees, talk beer and share our story,” Founder and CEO Steve Skalski said. “GABF is our opportunity to have folks try our beer so they pull off the highway the next time they are driving by Georgetown and visit us.”

This year they will showcase brewery favorite “Grey Wolf” Mountain Rye Saison, the new “Green Lake” Lager, the “O’zapft is! Oktoberfest” Marzen and the “summer refreshing hit,” Abyss Black Cherry Sour.

“It’s no secret that all of the new, cool beer styles are all originating from small independent craft breweries,” Skalski said. “Not only are we part of that community, we are part of the neighborhood. As an independent brewer, we look upon ourselves and our fellow independent breweries to be the ‘hot bed’ of creativity. We spend a lot of time applying our creativity to making great beer and less time, to a fault, on the marketing side of things. At the end of the day it’s the beer that counts.”

Beyond the beer festival, Skalski and his crew are gearing up for major expansion plans in 2020. “So, just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it will,” he said.

Tommyknocker Brewery has been attending GABF since its early days and has brought home numerous medals over the years. “It’s kind of a who’s who in the industry, it shows

Rush MAGAZINE • SEPTEMBER 2019

support for the Brewers Association,” Director of Operations Steve Indrehus said. “The main reason is you can get samples of our product, which we can hold up to anybody’s, winning a medal or not. It is a good, honorable product that people can taste and experience there without having to come to Idaho Springs… A lot of people come from out of state that may not know what Tommyknocker is, and they can experience us, too.”

During the festival, the brewery hosts tours in Idaho Springs and has three bar event centers in Denver for tap takeovers and a home base for meetings, beer sampling and, since all of the brewery’s accounts and distributors are invited, a place for hospitality.

In past years, Tommyknocker Brewery has opted for a larger “end-cap” booth at the GABF. This year they are trying something different as part of a renewed focus on its mountaintown roots. The brewery will be pouring its beers in the “Meet the Brewers Section” where patrons can talk to the people who create the beers they taste.

“We feel our strength is getting in front of people… it’s really kind of hard to shine [with an end-cap] because the breweries you’re with over there are breweries that are a lot larger and have a bigger budget,” Indrehus explained.

“We figure we’ll downsize a little bit and go into where we can get more intimate with the consumer. It’s who we are. We’re not a large brewery and we don’t want to pretend we are.”

According to John W. Stein, Owner of Stein Brewing Company, there are two great reasons to attend the Great American Beer Festival.

“First, and most exciting, are face-to-face interactions with the people,” he said. “Regardless if you are new to the beer scene, a novice, beer geek, homebrew nerd, or a master of Beer Sciences, the feedback and interaction feeds the mad brew scientist in us.”

The second reason, Stein said, is the behind-the-scenes happenings where brewery staff, owners, and brewmasters discuss trends, collaborations, new ideas, success and failure stories while laughing and joking about the industry’s quirks and headlines. “It is also a good time for us, too, as we try each other’s creations,” he added.

The small-batch, family-owned Stein Brewing Company will have a variety of GABF specials at its locations in Empire and Boulder and are offering four brews at the festival itself.

Entered in the competition and available at the festival include Lisa Double Red Ale, Rocky Rye Kolsch, Chocolate Milk Stout, and American Wheat with Orange. The beers are on rotating taps in Empire and at the brewery in Boulder.

Watch Stein for releases of a variety of new test batches, winter beers and seltzers.

Central City’s Dostal Alley Brew Pub is also a long-time participant of the GABF. The brewery, which has been in the Meet the Brewers Section in recent years, has never used a single GABF volunteer to pour their beers. Co-owner and brewer Buddy Schmalz poured all the beers himself until about 20 years ago when Coors employee Dave Thomas stepped in to help.

These days, friends and family help out so the brewers can step away and taste other beers.

For this year’s GABF, Dostal Alley is entering its Snowline Winter Ale brewed with cinnamon and wild rose hips in the Aged Beer category, Sylvester’s Special Graham Cracker Porter— named for Sylvester Graham—with graham crackers in the mash, and featuring caramel, molasses and vanilla flavors. Jacob Mack Brown Ale and Cousin Jack Pub Ale were also entered.

According to Thomas, quite a few people— including Association of Brewers and GABF founder Charlie Papazian—complain it is getting difficult to find simple, old-style beers with all the new hazy, pineapple, mango and unique-flavored beers. “At Dostal Alley, our beer fans depend on getting freshly-brewed English brown ales and ESBs, stouts, porters, Belgian wheats and clear Colorado IPAs,” Thomas explained.

The family-run brewery recently began offering its beer to go in large Crowler cans.

Whether attending or not, the GABF also spawns literally 100s of beer-related side events—including tap takeovers, rare beer tappings, firkin nights, meet-the-brewer events, beer and food pairings and much more—before, during and after the main event. Attending breweries also offer their entries in the own taprooms and at tap takeovers so its easy to try something new.

If a beer lover, don’t forget to explore the area’s other innovative breweries which are not attending this year including Westbound & Down, 1617 Miner St. in Idaho Springs; Evergreen Brewery, 2962 Evergreen Pkwy.; and Lariat Lodge Brewing, 27618 Fireweed Dr. in Evergreen. Each release new and interesting brews on a regular basis.

COVER STORY

Finding Fall Color

Local area known for abundance of aspen gold

CLEAR CREEK

n September and early October, Colorado is transformed into a showcase of shimmering gold when aspen leaves dramatically change color.

The trees, which make up 20 percent of Colorado’s forests, glow in a patchwork quilt of different yellow hues against a background of dark green conifers, gray and black rocks, wispy clouds and deep blue skies. It’s a spectacular natural display that attracts visitors far and wide while motivating locals to seek out these stunning golden vistas despite the masses.

Once the trees begin their transformation from green to glorious gold, however, the much celebrated and anticipated spectacle doesn’t last long in any given place. To see it, your timing must be right. Since it’s difficult to predict when exactly leaves will turn in any given location, the best strategy is to not have a destination in mind, but to instead follow the color.

Aspen leaves change, like all deciduous trees, because of a decrease in photosynthetic activity as the days get shorter. The gold and yellow that emerges are always present but are revealed only when green hues from chlorophyll production decrease. Local weather conditions, available moisture and stand health all influence how the colors are revealed each year. A wetter growing season followed by a dry, sunny autumn with cool but frost-free nights produces in the brightest colors, according to the United States National Arboretum.

Elevation and latitude are two aspects that can be considered when seeking out fall color, which can last from days to weeks. Color changes begin in the subalpine zone at 9,000-11,000 feet elevation in early Sep-

tember. Progressively, changes reach the montane zone at 5,600-9,500 feet by mid-month. Similarly, leaves in the northern part of the region change before those to the south.

Stand health is also a critical factor for aspens to display strong colors and retain leaves later into the fall, according to the Colorado State Forest Service.

Unhealthy aspen stands are less likely to have vibrant colors, while a more robust stand will have more attractive colors.

Also, each aspen grove includes one or more aspen clones. The aspen trees of a particular clone will change color at the same time because they are genetically related. Fall is a good time to discover which trees are from the same clone.

Clear Creek County and neighboring areas offer numerous places to join the gold rush and be immersed in fall foliage.

The region’s many aspen groves are located at a variety of elevations and allow for outstanding leaf peeping and photography for many weeks during the season.

While there are many amazing options for getting off the beaten path and into the backcountry to see the fall splendor, the easiest and most comfortable way is to drive. The region’s scenic byways and mountain roads are a great way to see the color. While out peeping, be sure to support local businesses. Eat out, buy a local craft or visit a coffee shop. The fall color season can be very important to most communities and their small businesses.

views throughout the area on several leafy drives. One of the more popular drives in the entire Front Range is to take the Guanella Pass Scenic and Historic Byway out of Georgetown where views of blazing aspen can be seen in all directions. Driving through Empire and up to the top of Berthoud Pass on U.S. 40 provides many places to view changing aspen stands as does Fall River Road to St. Mary’s Glacier.

The start of the Mount Evans Scenic Byway—Hwy. 103 south of Idaho Springs up to Echo Lake Lodge then continuing on to Squaw Mountain and Bergen Park—offers some of the region’s better mountain panoramas accessible by car. North of Idaho Springs, Virginia Canyon Road—known locally as the Oh My Gawd Road—rises quickly on its way to Central City. Along the way and once in town, golden aspen provide a colorful backdrop to the mining-era setting.

Many other options exist for finding fall color in the Clear Creek County region so don’t limit yourself to the highlights if you’re feeling more adventurous.

Be sure to visit clearcreekcounty.org or pick up a map of the county’s trails at local visitor centers and a variety of businesses for additional ideas and other resources. Consider a locally guided ATV tour or fall color adventure on the Georgetown Loop Railroad as other alternatives, too. Either way, be sure to get out and take advantage of the wonderful weather that usually comes along with this colorful season.

CLEAR CREEK

Aspen are medium-sized deciduous trees, commonly 20 to 80 feet in height, and 3 to 18 inches diameter.

Trees more than 80 feet tall and larger than 24 inches diameter are occasionally found. Their bark is smooth, greenish-white, yellowishwhite, yellowish-gray, or gray to almost white in color. The green color is from chlorophyll in the bark.

Their bark may become rough and fissured with age.

Aspen trees usually do not live more than 150 years, though they may persist more than 200 years.

It grows on many soil types, especially sandy and gravelly slopes, and is quick to pioneer disturbed sites where there is bare soil. It grows best where soils are moist and sunshine is plentiful. Aspen is intolerant of shade, and does not compete well with more shade-tolerant conifer species.

Aspen readily colonizes burned areas and can persist even when subjected to frequent fires. In the Central Rocky Mountains, the extensive stands of aspen are usually attributed to repeated wildfires. It may dominate a site until replaced by less fire-enduring but more shadetolerant conifers.

In the western United States, aspen is generally found at 5,000 to 12,000 feet elevation. Most of the aspen forest in the U.S. is found in Utah and Colorado, though it is also scattered throughout all of the western states.

Aspen provide habitat for a wide variety of wildlife and are visually appealing, as they provide contrast to the dark conifers during all seasons.

ocated in downtown Idaho Springs, Tommyknocker Brewery & Pub has been an integral part of its community and the Colorado brewing scene since 1994. As the award-winning, independent brewery nears its 25th anniversary, the changing and increasingly crowded craft beer market, newly approved grocery store sales—as well as recent ownership and management changes—has prompted the brewery to return to its mountain-town roots and focus on what it does best: brew beer.

Changes began taking place at the beginning of last year when the brewery stopped using bottles and began canning its beer. The move has allowed for new, innovative styles to be created including a sour program. Even the styles that have been around since the brewery’s beginning have been modernized.

Additional changes can be found when visiting the brewery. There’s a new menu, new staff and new food items. Soon, there will also be a new expansion to the bar area to allow for entertainment and more seating.

“It’s getting a little bit more challenging to sell beer in a saturated market. It’s getting a little bit more difficult to stand out, and it’s also getting a little bit more difficult for a heritage brewery like us,” Director of Operations Steve Indrehus said. “A lot of the people getting into the industry are very smart, creative people doing innovative things, so it challenges us to be smart and innovative as well.”

The biggest change may simply be an updated philosophy of keeping it real. “We are trying to anchor our brand to what it is. We’re not trying to be something we’re not,” Indrehus said. “We’re not trying to be a brewery in Denver, we’re trying to be a brewery in Idaho Springs and own that…

We’re not a large brewery and we don’t want to pretend we are. We want the people to know we are the kind of brewery you can experience hand CLEAR CREEK

in hand. We’re not an advertising campaign.”

As the brewery’s silver anniversary approaches in December, expect to see several special releases, including a 25th Anniversary brew.

“We’re not sure what we’re releasing exactly, but we have a bunch of barrels with beer aging in them, and we’re going to pull something out of a barrel and make a nice anniversary beer… we will come up with something cool and special.”

There’s also the annually released Legend Beer, which will have a 25th anniversary edition this year. “The inspiration for that one is Old Ale. If you can imagine when they made beer over an open fire in a caldron, with a little bit of smokiness going on, darker, robust, malty and not hoppy. That’s our Legend,” Indrehus said.

The Small Patch Pumpkin Harvest Ale, one of Tommyknocker’s more popular seasonal releases, came out over Labor Day weekend. More than 100 pounds of real pumpkins and fresh spices from the Spice & Tea Exchange were added to each batch. “We don’t just go buy pie spice at the store. We concoct our own blend of the different spices that are traditionally in pie: ginger, all spice, cinnamon and clove. We also add molasses… The inspiration for that brew wasn’t a novelty version of the style,” Indrehus said.

The brewery also has its limited-edition Prospector Series. In September and October, look for the “Pumperial” Pumpkin Ale, an imperial version of the pumpkin ale. “We keep the flavor from the original beer, and just add more of everything,” Indrehus said.

In November the final beer in the Prospector series, called Coco Cane, is released. It’s a winter seasonal coco porter with added candy cane that is another fan favorite.

No matter how well you think you know Tommyknocker Brewery, 1401 Miner St., take the time to stop in and discover all the recent changes and help them celebrate their 25th anniversary.
