A BRIEF LESSON IN

WESTY

HISTORY

Westminster is the third name for the city north of Denver. Originally it was DeSpain Junction, then became the town of Harris, and 104 years ago officially became Westminster. The third time was the charm as the Westminster moniker struck.

Today Westminster is a thriving suburban city with outstanding city services and amenities and a superb location: just 20 minutes from Boulder or downtown Denver, and 30 minutes from Denver International Airport. With outstanding recretional

facilities, lots of open space, and numerous shopping and dining opportunitites, Westminster is home to 108,000 residents. How did Westminster get to where it is today? Explore with us the key moments in the city’s growth, starting with the first inhabitants, tens of thousands of years ago.

The First Humans

Humans began inhabiting the area that’s now Westminster as many as 16,000 years ago as the last Ice Age ended and people migrated from Siberia to North America over the Bering Land Bridge. Moving south and east, they eventually arrived in what would become Colorado. The Westminster area proved to be good hunting territory, as the ponds and grasses left by the retreat of the ice attracted big-game animals, including bison and antelopes. Numerous artifacts – including projectile points and stone tools – from the earliest residents have been found. The Southern Arapaho tribe (the same band featured in James Michener’s masterpiece about Colorado history, Centennial) lived in the vicinity semi-permanently before being driven out by gold-seekers and land-hungry settlers.

Gold!

In 1850, Lewis Ralston led a prospecting party that discovered gold on the south side of a small creek – a tributary of Clear Creek – that would eventually bear his name. They didn’t find enough gold to warrant staying in the area and the party moved on to California, where gold had been discovered the year before at Sutter’s Mill. Eight years later, with rumors of gold in the South Platte Valley reaching fever pitch, William Russell, a member of the original Ralston party, led an expedition of 104 men to Colorado. They returned to Ralston Creek, where color had been found in 1850, and panned along Clear Creek. But they neglected to follow the creek farther up the mountain to the Idaho City area, where most of the gold was. In November 1858, Russell and others organized the town of Auraria at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River. A year later, the Gold Rush began with the discovery of gold near Black Hawk. At least 40,000 prospectors arrived in Colorado (Rocky Mountain News publisher William Byars’ estimate was a wildly inflated 150,000) and the land rush was on. Many of those tens of thousands moved on, but many more stayed to farm, start businesses and help build the territory. Some of them would settle north of Denver in what is now Westminster.

The Homestead Act

Congress passed the Homestead Act in 1862. The law granted 160 acres of what had formerly been Indian territory to any citizen over age 21 who was willing to build a home, break the sod and cultivate the land. Those who did that became free and clear owners of the land after five years. The 160 acres was a reasonable size for a farm in well-watered areas, but in Colorado’s semi-arid climate, it wasn’t nearly enough. And during dry years, farmers without access to irrigation saw their

land dry up and blow away, culminating in the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Nonetheless, the Homestead Act was critical in opening up the West, including Colorado and Denver.

Territory and Statehood

In 1854, what is now Colorado was part of Kansas Territory. LeCompton, the territorial capital, was more than 700 miles away. Denver citizens formed the state of Jefferson, also comprising parts of New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Of course, citizens can’t declare their own state, but the pressure to break away from Kansas was overwhelming, and in February 1861 President James Buchanan – in one of his final acts before turning the presidency over to Abraham Lincoln – created the Territory of Colorado. Citizens petitioned for statehood in 1864 and Congress approved the measure in 1866. However, then-President Andrew Johnson vetoed it over doubts about the state’s viability. Ten years later, Colorado became the Centennial State.

A Town Is Born

Between April and May, 1870, one Pleasant DeSpain and his family claimed six tracts of land totaling 560 acres extending from present-day 76th Avenue and Lowell Boulevard. They became the first permanent settlers of what would become Westminster. DeSpain bought the rights to an irrigation canal, sold water to other settlers and grew cherries and apples. The DeSpains were joined in 1871 by Edward Bowles, who raised stable horses and hauled freight to the mountain gold mines. In 1881, the Denver, Utah & Pacific Railroad reached DeSpain Junction. Soon a town was born and schools were needed for the growing population. Pleasant and his son, Benjamin, either donated or sold land for four schools and Bowles became president of the new school district.

The City of Harris

In 1866, real estate developer Charles Harris took note of rumors that Crown Point – the highest point in what was then Arapahoe County – would become the home for a world-class university. He and his wife, Florence, bought land west of the DeSpain holdings and began pitching the area as a quiet, peaceful location far from the hubbub of Denver to the south. Harris persuaded DeSpain to change the town’s name to Harris. (It was rumored that DeSpain owed Harris money.) The name remained Harris for several decades, even after its namesake left three years later for North Carolina after his wife divorced him. The city’s first telephone exchange was named Harrison.

The Princeton of the West

In 1890, the Presbyterian Synod finally fulfilled the long-standing rumors and opted to build its Westminster University at Crown Point. But the Silver Panic of 1893 and other problems caused delays in the project, and construction didn’t begin until 1903. Renowned architect Stanford White redesigned the distinctive red sandstone building, which now dominates the landscape at the intersection of 83rd and Lowell. The first students attended class in 1908 and the “Princeton of the West” immediately became a landmark. The university thrived for awhile, but made a fatal decision in 1915 to become a men-only college. When all the men left for World War I in 1917, it marked doom for the college. The Pillar of Fire religious organization took over the property and now operates a school and a radio station from the red sandstone castle.

The City of Westminster

With Westminster University thriving in 1911, city fathers agreed to rename the city of Harris. Why should the city be identified with a real estate speculator who had been gone more than 20 years? The city was incorporated as Westminster that year, with 35 votes for incorporation and six against. Voters approved a $2,800 bond issue to purchase land for a park. The city installed sidewalks, passed a leash law and banned public drunkenness.

Early-Day Businesses

Two of the most prominent businesses in the early days of Westminster were the Savery Savory Mushroom Farm owned by Charles Savery and the Shoenberg Farm built by Louis Shoenberg. In its heyday, the Savery Savory operation was producing 10,000 pounds of mushrooms daily. The restored Savery Savory tower, now maintained by the city of Westminster. stands at 110th and Federal. Shoenberg established his farm at West 73rd and Sheridan in 1912. He originally built it to supply eggs and milk for National Jewish Hospital. Taken over by Jake Tepper in 1921, Shoenberg became the largest dairy and poultry operation west of the Mississippi in 1949. It provided dairy and poultry products to Fitzsimmons Hospital and the U.S. Army during WWII and the Korean War.

World War II

With its mountain scenery and favorable climate, Colorado benefited more than most states from the post-WWII boom. And Westminster took its share of the growth as its population grew from 500 in 1940 to 1,686 in 1950. The GI Bill, promising no-down

payment and low-interest mortgages to veterans, spurred growth in suburbs like Westminster.

The Turnpike

The opening of the Boulder-Denver Turnpike (now U.S. 36) in 1952 did more for Westminster than just about any other Front Range city (aside from the end points of the highway, Boulder and Denver). Built as a toll road (it cost a quarter), traffic was so heavy that the bond – and the toll – were retired in 1967, more than a decade ahead of schedule. The original route for the highway would have cut Westminster in two, but city fathers and ordinary residents persuaded the Highway Department to build a bridge over Lowell Avenue.

Recreation and Open Space

The Hyland Hills Recreation District, centered in Westminster, was established in 1955 and now has a golf course complex, recreation center, ice rink, water park (Water World) and other facilities. A separate Westminster Parks and Recreation Department operates two golf courses and several recreation centers while sponsoring numerous athletic and fitness/wellness programs. In 1985, voters approved a sales tax earmarked for open space, and now 2,700 acres within the city are preserved – about 12 percent of the city’s land area. Additionally, Westminster has 83 miles trails.

The Westminster Mall

During the heyday of enclosed malls, Westminster got in the game with the Westminster Mall on an 80-acre parcel between between 88th and 92nd at Sheridan. The facility, which eventually expanded to 1.2 million square feet, opened in 1977. The mall was a sales-tax giant for decades, but the combination of changing shopping styles and the opening of the Flatirons Crossing Mall in 2000 spelled doom for the Westminster Mall. It limped along for a decade, with the major stores closing one by one, before demolition began in 2011. By 2013, it was all gone, with the exception of a J.C. Penney store. Current plans are for a retail/housing/dining/open space area on the site. Westminster didn’t sit idle as the mall was being phased out. Two new shopping areas, the Westminster Promenade at U.S. 36 and 104th Avenue and the Orchard Town Center at I-25 and 144th Avenue, provide robust shopping services and keep the sales tax revenue coming in. And Bradburn Village, at 120th Avenue between Federal and Sheridan, epitomizes the “New Urbanism” concept with a mixture of single-family homes, townhomes, row apartments, restaurants and office space.

Ken Scudder and Ken Scudder Jr. founded the business in 1979, and today it’s owned by Ken’s daughters, Amy

Smith and Judy Simon, and Amy’s husband, Kevin Smith. They comprise three-fifths of the shop’s employees. Rounding out their staff are Marianne Feighner and Brandon Smith, both of whom the owners say the company couldn’t be successful without. From several locations, all in the Thornton, Northglenn and Westminster areas, Scudder Press has thrived and grown while providing customized printing and marketing services to customers not only in the northern Denver suburbs but throughout Colorado – and be-yond. Some families have used Scudder Press’s services for generations. “It’s the personal service we provide,” Amy says. “We have a lot of customers whose kids we know, whose grandkids’ names we know. We treat them like family. That leads to customer loyalty.” Of course, friendliness is one thing. Providing high-quality products and services that people need is something else again, and that’s where Scudder shines. It’s fair to say that if it has words and graph-

ics and can be printed, Scudder can do it for you – everything from business cards to magazines and books. In addition to the standard printed business cards, flyers, postcards and brochures, Scudder produces newsletters, letterhead, event invitations, manuals and booklets, resumes, menus, tickets, holiday cards, computer forms, checks, envelopes, sales sheets, napkins, event programs, catalogs, political campaign ma-terials, presentations, property listings, raffle tickets or books, folders, and notepads. It also offers rubber stamps, folders, notary stamps, promotional products, calendars, UV coating and laminating. Then there’s the “above and beyond” element. Scudder offers graphic and logo designs, custom die cutting (documents in non-rectangular shapes), and foiling and embossing. The company even serves as a marketing consultant and partner. “We often tell our customers, ‘This is what you need today and maybe down the road you might need car magnets or a postcard campaign,’’’ Amy says. Scudder’s owners know about “down the road.” The company began in a spartan way in 1979 with one press in a windowless basement on Washington Street. It was Ken

Scudder Jr.’s brainchild. At the time, Ken Sr. was a department head at AT&T and had previously owned an electrical company on the side. “My brother had a wild hair and dad bought into it,” Amy says. High school sweethearts at Northglenn High School, Kevin and Amy had begun working at AT&T on the same day in 1983, and they were laid off the same day in 1985. With Ken Jr. stepping away from the business, Kevin and Amy became partners along with Judy. From that basement, Scud-der moved onward and upward three times: first to the Hillcrest Plaza at 104th and Pecos, then to 104th and Huron in the mall that used to be dominated by Albertson’s, and fi-nally to its current location just east of Grant on Russell Blvd. By 2007, Scudder had outgrown its 104th and Huron location and the owners decided it was time to have a building of their own. Construction began on the Russell Blvd. office in 2007 and was completed 18 months later, in January 2009. It’s almost a twin of the building next door, and that’s by design. “We wanted to mimic the day-care center that was already here,” Kevin says. “We didn’t want to build a steel warehouse-looking building.”

A Family AffairWith its friendly brown stone and stucco façade, the home office of Scudder Press resembles a family home as much as it does a place of business. Appropriate, because Scudder Press is in fact a family business,

and has been since its founding 36 years ago.by phil smith

The result is an office that fits comfortably into the modest neighborhood and looks like it belongs. The office is wired to accommo-date all the technology associated with the printing industry – an industry that has been affected more than most by the online and tech revolution. And that’s to the benefit of customers. Take full-color printing. In the old days, just the setup fee alone would have been exorbitantly expensive. Then, customers would have to order thousands – a situation that was hardly affordable for families or small businesses. Nowadays, with digital printing, Scudder can print as few or as many copies as the cus-tomer needs. “Over the last 36 years it’s night and day,” Kevin says. “We used to run a room-ful of three or four presses, six days a week. Now in the computer age, we do everything digitally, which is great for the customers. If somebody wants full color, they can order 10. They don’t have to order 5,000.” One innovation that Scudder has embraced full-force is a United States Postal Service program enabling businesses to distribute marketing material to every mailbox in a given postal route. It’s called the Every Door Direct Market Mailing Service, and businesses can

reach every home in their desired area. For only a nickel or so more per piece above the cost of postage, Scudder Press takes care of every facet of creating and distributing the marketing documents. “From conception to design, all the way to the finished product,” Kevin says. All the business owner must do is work with Scudder on the design of the materials and select the postal route or routes to target. Businesses can get demographics on the USPS website. Scudder designs and prints the documents and gets them to the post of-fice. The mail deliverers, in turn, drop one in every mailbox on their route, which embraces anywhere from 500 to 1,400 households. “Smartest thing the Postal Service has ever done,” Kevin says. The required size of the documents – usu-ally postcards – is quite flexible; they can even be square, which the post office normally charges a premium to deliver. And businesses get more value for the money with this pro-gram, because there’s no need to use space for address labels or barcodes. Thus, they can use the entire landscape of the card, both front and back, to communicate their message. When the program started, the Postal Service trained Scudder employees, and now refers

customers to Scudder. Typical businesses to use the service include real estate agents, roofers, auto body repair shops, beauty salons and other service providers. Scudder pro-vides this service not only for businesses in the immediate area, but all over the Denver area and even out of state. Another recent development that Scudder has embraced is synthetic paper – or plastic paper. With this material, they can create printed pieces that are resistant to tearing, water and chemi-cals. It can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol, eliminates the need for laminating, and is well-suited for menus and materials in medi-cal facilities. The business side is only one facet of Scud-der Press, though. “It’s about serving custom-ers,” Amy says, “but it also about service to the community.” Scudder is intimately involved in the Romito Foundation. The organization was founded by Thornton police officer Rich Romito, who has three sons with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic dis-ease that involves loss of muscle mass, weak-ness and difficulties in standing unaided and walking. Most patients end up in wheelchairs and they rarely live past age 25. Amy serves on the board of the Romito Foundation. And

EXPERIENCE Westminster 22 westminsterchamber.biz

Scudder Press helps host fundraisers that send children to camp and help fund research into the disease. “We’ve been part of the commu-nity for 36 years and we don’t take that lightly,” Amy says. Community involvement is a big reason Scudder Press won the 2014 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award from the city of Thornton. The award goes annually to a company that shows excellence in ingenuity and has made a signifi-cant impact on the community. The company is also a perennial winner of the Circle of Safe-ty Award from Pinnacol Insurance. The award recognizes policyholders for their exceptional risk management in safety, loss prevention, fi-nancial management and claims management. Scudder has won it six years running – every

year it’s been awarded. It all comes back to family. Many Scudder grandchildren and great-grandchildren have worked in the shop at one time or another. And Ken Scudder Sr., who founded the company 36 years ago, still visits regularly and gets involved. “Our dad likes to pop in and see how things are going,” Amy says. “He’s Mr. Fixit, even at age 85. He still can fix the equipment.” “He would love to come in every day,” Kevin says. However, he’s a full-time caregiver for his wife, Virginia, and spends most of his time with her. Ken even likes to check in on the bottom line and see how it’s doing. “Fortunately, we’ve been very busy for a long time,” Kevin says.

When Dana TePoel began his business in 1992, he had a modest goal: to TRANSFORM A FAILING EMISSIONS TESTING FACILITY INTO A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION FOR AUTO AND LIGHT-TRUCK REPAIRS.He purchased The Emissions Clinic in Westminster and grew his revenue 122 percent in the first three years. Then disaster hit: Colorado adopted a state-wide emissions testing program that restricted car owners to using only designated “Envirotest” stations for their tests. The move eliminated 64 percent of the clinic’s business -- virtually overnight.

LATER RENAMED LAKE ARBOR Automotive & Truck, the business survived and eventually flourished by focusing on customer service. And it wasn’t just your run-of-the-mill, smile-and-a-handshake type of customer service. To wit: With no potential for any direct financial reward, the shop provided maps and flyers designed specifically to help customers understand the new emissions sys-tem. TePoel (pronounced TEE-pole) reassured his patrons that, if they were to need repairs af-ter their tests, Lake Arbor Auto would be there for them. In essence, the company embraced the very conditions that threatened to drive it out of business, and the result was a startling success, as evidenced by its endurance and its customer growth. Today, that customer-first policy is reflected in the slogan that accompanies the Lake Arbor Auto’s banners, letterhead, and even its em-ployment documents: “We Do the Right Thing for You – Every Time!” The company moved in November 2006 to a larger, state-of-the-art facility at 9146 Marshall Place in Westminster, where it proudly serves its customers today. The former one-man shop has grown to 11 employees. Its annual gross revenues have rocketed from $180,000 in the company’s first year to more than $1.65 mil-lion last year, qualifying Lake Arbor Auto as the 240th largest privately held company in the state, according to ColoradoBiz Magazine.And while the growth rate gives TePoel great satisfaction, he takes even more pride in the business philosophy that generated the suc-cess. Lake Arbor emphasizes the customer’s welfare, in every transaction. TePoel insists that his employees live by the company slogan, doing “the right thing … every time.” Lake Arbor is committed to ensuring long-term growth by treating customers respect-fully, with highest regard for their rights as consumers. The company works to educate customers about their cars and helps them prioritize their repair needs. Lake Arbor Auto essentially invests in its customers – foregoing short-term profits in exchange for long-term relationships with customers. “The ‘old school wisdom’ suggests that repair shops get customers in the door with

some loss-leader and then upsell them,” says TePoel. “That’s not us. We don’t lure people with a $20 oil change that turns into a $200 project. It may feel counter-intuitive to leave money on the table, but in the long haul, this policy – rejecting the practice of pressuring people into spending money – makes for ap-preciative customers.” Visitors sense the company’s pro-customer attitude when they walk into Lake Arbor Auto, a facility designed for maximum customer comfort. The waiting room is furnished with living room chairs, a coffee table and warm, yellow walls. A quilt created by Dana’s wife, Maicie, hangs as a centerpiece on one wall. On other walls in the reception area and the hallway, customers can see awards, certificates and other reassuring notices of the company’s commitment to trust, responsibility and integ-rity. Customers are offered coffee and cookies, and they are welcome to use a spare office with a computer and Wi-Fi connection. The service-friendly atmosphere is reflected in Lake Arbor’s staff, as well. TePoel searches carefully for employees with the right attitude. His employees – with more than 170 years of combined experience in the automotive repair business -- are instructed to make things right for the customer, even if it costs the company money. A recent case with customer Rachel Zenzing-er is an example of Lake Arbor Auto’s willing-ness to serve as an advocate for customers. She came to the shop with a steering problem. An LAA adviser determined that the issue was cov-ered under the terms of a manufacturer’s recall. When a dealer refused to make the repair, the LAA service adviser called TWO dealers in the area on her behalf. When both dealers balked, the service adviser called a third, unrelated dealer (different manufacturer) to clarify the industry policy on standing behind recall work. “When it became clear that nobody else was going to help me, Lake Arbor Auto fixed the steering problem and got me safely back on the road,” said Zenzinger. “Throughout the repair, and even afterward, Lake Arbor Auto continued to advocate for me. I could not have handled this situation appropriately without their expertise.” Lake Arbor’s employees benefit from TePoel’s do-the-right-thing philosophy, as well as

customers. The company provided a full health-care benefits package from the start, even when TePoel had only one employee. As his staff has grown, his stewardship of their interests has kept pace, with an industry-leading benefits package. The company offers paid training sessions so that employees can keep abreast of the latest developments in auto engineering and repair; and employees can sign up for courses designed to enrich their personal lives, in categories such as time manage-ment, finance and retirement. Lake Arbor Auto has dedicated a large classroom in the shop for these purposes. In addition, heeding its employees’ wishes in 1996, Lake Arbor Auto closes the shop on weekends, giving its staff more quality family time. While you might expect such a reduction in operating hours to erode revenues, exactly the opposite occurred: Revenues increased 12.5 percent the following year. And business continues to grow. Lake Arbor is the highest-volume emissions repair facility in Colorado; and revenues and customer traffic are on the upswing. More importantly, since joining the Better Business Bureau in 2001, the company has processed more than 100,000 transactions without a single complaint to the BBB. As business has grown, Lake Arbor Auto has turned its attention toward the community with increasing intensity. Lake Arbor Auto is one of the few places in the north metro area where parents can receive free advice from certified agents on the proper installation and use of child safety seats. That focus on children’s wel-fare has also prompted Lake Arbor Auto to get involved in charitable efforts with A Precious Child. Lake Arbor Auto runs yearly drives (and donates toward those drives) for the collection of gloves, toys and backpacks for needy children. Other worthy organizations supported by LAAT include Hope House, Denver Rescue Mis-sion and The Gathering Place. As TePoel says,

Educational practices have undergone numerous paradigm shifts and successive adaptations. One of those shifts has been towards project-based, hands-on, real-world problem solving. As an example, STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs have been adopted in many schools with the aim of getting kids more excited about learning, while teaching marketable skills for a high-tech future. A recent addition to the Westminster community has been the STEM Enrichment Academy, founded by David Duran, which offers students a chance to design and build robotic and machine vision solutions to real problems coming from

industrial environments.

STEM programs have been gaining in popularity worldwide for a number of reasons. When well-designed, they provide the student with an opportunity to put science and math into actual practice, rather than being purely theoretical or fact-based. Students do field work, observe, gather data, collaborate, brainstorm, design, plan, and then build and test real products or create new ways of doing things. Critical thinking is unavoid-

able and failures are seen as a valuable part of the discovery process.

David Duran was an educator for several years before going to work in high-tech firms. He taught at high schools, charter schools and community colleges, ran a math department, coached sports and conducted a school orchestra. He later switched careers and started working on simulators and augmented reality projects, eventually diving into computer vision and industrial imaging. He missed teaching, however, so he started a tutoring service and ran a successful summer school program at Denver School of Science and Technology for students who were failing courses. He also ran the applied technology and robotics program at Ridge View

Academy, where his students won top awards in competitions.

STEM Enrichment Academy represents the ultimate intersection of Duran’s lifelong passion for teaching and his experience in robotics and computer vision. His mission is to give students in grades 5-12 experience in implementing solutions, using state-of-the-art machine vision tech-nology in after-school programs, labs and classrooms. Students are given the necessary back-ground knowledge in a series of lessons, but the heart of the program is solving scaled-down,

real-world problems using robotics and computer vision.

The academy provides access to state-of-the-art equipment (industrial smart cameras, lenses, illumination and software) that students utilize in their solutions. Furthermore, this exciting program is approachable and easily accessed by all interested students. STEM Enrichment

Academy is not a brick and mortar facility, but rather, a mobile enrichment course.

After-school enrichment programs take place at a variety of locations in Westminster, Broom-field and Thornton. Students can meet in small groups and work with STEM Enrichment Acad-

emy instructors once or twice per week.

Another facet of the academy’s mission besides after-school enrichment is their involvement in local schools. STEM Enrichment Academy collaborates with schools to either improve their existing STEM programs with a machine vision component or helps to implement machine vi-

sion and robotics components for math, science, and technology programs to use.

School-to-school collaboration is also encouraged and promoted. Finished projects can be en-tered into competitions. The experience and exposure a student receives from these projects can

steer them towards important opportunities for college and beyond.

Moreover, it’s not just schools and students who benefit. Local businesses, factories, and en-gineering firms could potentially profit from a sponsorship. Imagine a team of enthusiastic students working on a company’s real problem, thinking way outside the box because they have no pre-programmed ideas about what can’t work. In any case, it is an opportunity to invest in

the future of Westminster and the greater society.

It is a rare and marvelous thing when the wide-eyed curi-osity of a child observing insects carries over into adult-hood. Thankfully, Colorado is home to a group of such folks with an enduring passion for six-legged creatures and their mostly unseen and often misunderstood world. The Rocky Mountain Butterfly Consortium was established in July of 1990 with the intention of one day creating a public butterfly house. This idea would eventually evolve into a full-scale invertebrate zoo and one of the shining stars of Westminster.

On July 15, 1995, Dr. Michael We i s s m a n , former ento-mologist at the University of Colorado Museum in Boulder, and Dr. Richard

Peigler, former curator of Entomology at the Denver Museum of Natu-ral History, along with a team of volunteers, opened Butterfly Pavilion. It became the nation’s first non-profit free-standing butterfly house and invertebrate zoo. In its first year it served more than 200,000 visitors. Since then, Butterfly Pavilion has expanded its facilities and currently houses over 5,000 animals. In addition to the exhibit halls and animal care center, there are outdoor gardens, two classrooms, and a rentable private events space, all on eleven acres of property. The most notable exhibit is the “Wings of the Tropics,” an indoor tropical rain forest that hosts 1,600 flying butterflies, representing 100 species at any given time, as well as more than 200 tropical and sub-tropical plants. The butterfly farming program is an $80,000 to $100,000 yearly investment. Butterfly Pavilion acquires 45,000 to 50,000 pupae per year from butterfly farms in the trop-ics. Not only does this benefit butter-fly conservation, it can help preserve rain forests, as farmers in tropical countries are paid to farm butterflies in their habitat rather than clear-cut forests for other types of crops. Another popular exhibit is the “Crawl-A-See-Em” arthropod room, home to the now famous Rosie, a Chilean rose hair tarantula (Gram-monstola rosea). Rosie was featured in the 2014 movie “Heaven is for Real,” based on the book by Todd Burpo. Rosie, along with entomologist Amber Partridge, was flown to Canada, where the movie was filmed. To round out the theme of land, air and sea, the “Water’s Edge” ex-hibit hosts live sea creatures from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in an enclosure that is essentially a wet petting zoo. Under close supervision, visitors can touch some of the animals and learn about them first-hand. Viewing tanks contain other marine invertebrates such as lobsters, sea urchins, and jellyfish. The featured exhibit hall currently presents an interactive, bilingual exhibit called “Tropical Odyssey.” Debuting in 2009, Tropical Odyssey features a walk-through maze in which visitors can follow the journey of a butterfly’s life cycle while learning about the challenges of deforesta-

tion and sustainable agriculture. The exhibits are only a part of what Butterfly Pavilion contributes to education and research. In 2008 and 2009, Mary Ann Hamilton, Vice President of Science and Conservation, served as consultant for a NASA experiment called “Butterflies in Space.” The purpose of the experiment was to observe the effects of microgravity on butterflies from larva to metamorphosis. Painted Lady butterflies (Vanessa car-dui), and later, Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), were sent to the International Space Station in specially designed habitats while video cameras monitored their development and streamed images back to earth. Meanwhile, control groups of butterflies were observed by middle school students in dozens of classrooms around the United States. The butterflies successfully pupated and emerged in space, just as their counterparts on earth, with a notable difference: The earth-bound larvae attached themselves to the topmost surface of their habi-tats for pupation as they always do, since they hang downward, whereas the larvae in space attached themselves randomly to any of the habitat’s sides because gravity was not present. Hamilton was asked to participate again in 2011 for “Spiders in Space.” In this experiment, Golden Orb Weaver spiders (Nephila clavi-pes) were sent up to see if they could build an orb web in space. At first the spiders had a little trouble orienting themselves in microgravity, but they managed to stabilize, successfully built webs, and survived the trip back to earth. Speaking of spiders, Butterfly Pavilion is currently involved in a re-search program to study several species of tarantula and collect com-prehensive, quantifiable data on their growth and development. Prior knowledge about tarantulas had largely been anecdotal. Of all Butterfly Pavilion’s accomplishments and successes, perhaps none can top its most recent achievement: accreditation by the Asso-ciation of Zoos and Aquariums. The 28-page application was only the beginning, and for an invertebrate zoo, much of it was not applicable (there is an entire section in the best practice manual for transport and care of elephants). The standards and practices address a number of issues besides the obvious animal care, welfare and management. The physical facilities, safety procedures, guest services and staff re-quirements must meet certain requirements: conservation, research and educational programs should be well-established and relate to the institution’s overall mission. In actuality, the most significant require-ments for accreditation were already in place at a high level of quality. The bulk of the work was in the mountain of documentation required to supplement the application. After a three-day inspection and subsequent action on very minor recommendations, the final presentation was made to the AZA Board at a conference at Disney World on Sept. 12, 2014. It only took about five minutes of deliberation to reach a decision to grant accreditation, just in time for Butterfly Pavilion’s annual fundraising gala. The entire accreditation process will repeat every five years. The future of Butterfly Pavilion looks bright. Under the leadership of the current President and CEO, Patrick Tennyson, there is a 10- to 20-year master plan in the works, which will see the continuation of growth from the guest experience to research and conservation. This will include an updated facility (including exhibits and amenities), an enhanced research and conservation plan, and more local and global partnerships.

·Employees pay for their own benefits, with increas-ingly smaller social safety nets such as unemployment compensation.

And all of this was forecast in 1983! The changes magnified by The Great Recession are predicted to be only a small sample of what is to follow. Rather than attempting to surfboard in a tsunami, what will be required to gain a competitive advantage while navigating the uncharted waters of the future?

Reframe Your Thinking It is critical that you recognize that radical and pervasive change is a permanent part of theeconomic landscape and that you are the CEO of “You, Inc.” Understand that you are NOTUNemployed, you are SELF employed and that,

even if you choose to make a strategic alliance with a company for 30 years and a gold watch, you will never again think like an employee. In the future you must manage your business-of-one affairs like the CEO of any other multinational corporation and create multiple revenue streams for yourself.

Learn to Market and Sell Yourself Recognize that the job rarely goes to the best-qual-ified candidate. It goes to the perceived best-qualified candidate. And that is called “salesmanship.” Ac-curate market research, promoting your corporation-of-one in the most advantageous and least expensive manner and closing the deal will become increasingly important in managing career success (all companies are looking for “rainmakers”!) While there are many well-deserved negative opinions surrounding “selling” and salespeople, it is critical to your future economic success that you learn and develop the advanced communication skills required to achieve the “right yes” and avoid career mistakes. Redefining selling as “facilitating a deci-sion” is a simple first step. Recognize that ALLcorporations, including your corporation of one, require revenue to survive and that parallelsbetween finding a new client and finding a new job are identical. The process is the same - the only differ-ence is the application and frequency.

Look to the Future The “future” is closer than you think and operates a lot like gravity. Your opinion about it doesn’t matter. It happens without your approval and has complete disregard for your judgment. But you can study future trends to create a competitive advantage for yourself. (While your competition might be able to help an employer fix a problem, you could help them AVOID

Navigating the Future of EmploymentBy Marty Wolff

Following the Second World War, millions of GIs returned home to the only country with the resources to rebuild a planet that had endured a Great Depres-sion and been nearly destroyed by war. Global de-mand for any product that could be delivered meant that quality was not an issue: products didn’t need to be especially good, they just needed to be available. Under such conditions, even with a marginal tax rate of 91 percent (yes, 91 percent), long-term employ-ment with good pay and great benefits was easily accomplished. If a person was unemployed, it was mostly by choice. Just update a resume, review the Sunday newspaper classifieds and find a job. Such conditions no longer exist, but most people continue to look for jobs in essentially the same manner that they did decades ago – just updating for Facebook, LinkedIn, and other forms of social media marketing. So, what does the future of employment look like, and what can be done to achieve a competi-tive advantage in your job search or promotional opportunities within your current company?

Futurists have predicted that:·The basis of wealth will change globally and dra-matically in a massive shift greater than the Agrarian Revolution and the Industrial Revolution.

·This will guarantee unprecedented power for multina-tional corporations seeking advantageous tax benefits and relocation perks.

·The relationship between competitors will change, with much greater multi corporate cooperation to develop emerging technologies.

·The relationship between employers and employees will undergo dramatic changes

·There will be a smaller percentage of “jobs” as they have been defined in the past.

·Job competition for available positions will be fierce - with numerous highly qualified applicants for each available position.

·With the exception of highly paid positions for job descriptions that don’t currently exist, most employees will earn significantly less money.

·Employment will be for shorter duration.

·There will be longer gaps between jobs.

the problem in the first place!) Become a self-styled “futurist”. Recognize that trying to navigate the future through your rear-view mirror is futile and that the individual who can best read the tea leaves has a MAJOR competitive advan-tage. For a very thorough look at future economic trends read Alvin and Heide Toffler’s seminal book Revolutionary Wealth. Check out the World Future Society (wfs.org) and the da Vinci Institute, origi-nally created as a futurist think tank in Louisville. Review the offerings of TED (technology, entertain-ment and design) and choose from a variety of Ted Talks on YouTube.com.

Refine Old Skills and Develop New Skills It has accurately been stated that “the functional illiterate of the 21st century is anyone who does not learn, unlearn and relearn on a frequent and consistent basis.” To gain and maintain a competitive edge, what are the technical job skills that you need to learn, update or master? (Read the excellent Do What You Are by Paul Tieger. Strengthfinder 2.0 can help. The Strong Interest Inventory is a long standing career industry standby.) What specific job search skills do you need to acquire to improve the odds of finding or creating the best career opportunity? (A surprising number of Sea Change clients have posi-tions created for them because it is in the company’s best interest to do so.)

Develop Your Unique Message Many sales managers complain that their sales-people are not developing enough newbusiness from new customers and that cold calling has become a lost art. The consistentmessage from one of my client’s was, “I am a cold calling machine. I create new business outof nothing.” Guess whose resume went to the top of the pile! Guess who got the job!! Developing your own unique message of empha-sizing how you are different from or betterthan the competition is crucial to finding a better employment opportunity. Otherwise, youhave become a commodity, and that doesn’t pay very well. Space precludes presenting the full Message Funnel exercise in this article, but a complimentary copy is available by email upon request (contact [email protected]). Welcome to the Future of Employment. Having a compass will help you navigate the tumultuous waters without capsizing.

The two media with the highest trust poten-tial are:1. Recommendations from people I know – trust potential of 92 percent2.

WHY DO ONLINE REVIEWS MATTER?By PETER BRISSETTE, DIGITAL MARKETING DUDE

Let’s test your knowledge a little bit here. What would you say is the percentage of consumers that use online reviews? Would you believe it is 86 percent? That is a very significant number when you consider both desktop and mobile search. I would guess that it is even higher on mobile devices. Here is another question for you. What is the percentage of consumers that trust online reviews? That number would be 79 percent. That has increased in the last couple of years by 5 percent. People trust online reviews about your business. I would say that is a pretty good “why reviews matter” realization! By the way, the percentage of consumers still using traditional yellow pages is only 2 percent. Now if your target demographic is in that 2 percent, you should keep using the yellow pages. If not, then you might want to invest more in your online marketing strategy.

Source: www.brightlocal.com/2013/06/25/local-consumer-review-survey-2013/

The Trust Factor Where should you spend your marketing dollars? The real challenge with any market-ing and advertising that you do is the trust factor. The trust factor – or BS meter for some – comes into play when potential customers come in contact with a message about your business and they have to decide if they believe it or not. Each different marketing medium has a different “trust potential.” Trust potential is the inherent amount of “trustability” that any given medium has. Let me give you some examples based on some recent surveys. Somewhat popular the last couple of years has been SMS marketing, which is text messaging on your phone. People sign up with a local business to receive special offers via text message. The percentage of con-sumers that trust those messages or the “trust potential” is only 29 percent. That number

measure of the “trust potential.” A 4- or 5-star average rating results in an 80 to 84 percent likelihood that a consumer will initiate business with a vendor. After that rating, the drop-off is severe. At 3 stars, the likelihood (or trust potential) for a consumer to initiate business with that vendor is only 14 percent. It is important to note that if you were plan-ning to stay out of the fray, and not participate in this whole “online reviews thing,” you might want to rethink that idea. If you have 0 stars, your trust potential is only 2 percent. Think of it this way: I can chose two companies. The first has one 4-star review, and the other has none. My choice, 98 percent of the time, will be the one with the 4-star review.

You can learn more about online reviews on my blog at www.DMdude.com.

setting up a business profile on yelp.comBy PETER BRISSETTE, DIGITAL MARKETING DUDE

Local businesses are finding that managing their online reviews has become critically important. What your customers are saying about your company is a key factor in whether you’re able to bring in new business.

One of the biggest review sites out there is Yelp.com. I am sure you have heard of it. Like them or hate them (many do), they are a big player in online reviews. If you are a local business, you need to claim your Yelp listing so you can manage it, update it and respond directly to the reviews. How do I do that? Here is a step-by-step pro-cess for claiming your Yelp listing that includes some tips to make it easier. The first thing I recommend is setting up a gmail account through Google that is spe-cifically used for setting up your local listings accounts. Something like [email protected] or [email protected] are good options. Why? To keep it out of your regular business emails and so that you can have someone on your team manage the emails that might come in here.

Also, you can then create filters to forward important emails, such as negative reviews, to other email accounts. Most likely if you are a local business with an address and a phone number with the phone company, you already have a listing on Yelp that needs to be claimed. Follow these steps to claim your listing. For a free scan of your business lsitings across the top 50+ local directory sites, please visit dmdude.com/scan. There you can get an instant report to see how your information is being listed on these sites.

peter brissette“the digital marketing dude”(303) [email protected]

1 CLAIM YOUR LISTING

Visit biz.yelp.com/support/claiming Click “Claim Your Business”

This will take you to a search page. Enter your business name and address and click “Get Started.”

Yelp will try to find your existing listing. If it is there, click “Claim this business.”

You will then need to create a “Business Owner” account.This is different than your personal Yelp account you may already utilize and have signed up using Facebook or a personal email. Use the review specific email account men-tioned at the beginning of this process.

2 verify & confirm

Once you click create, Yelp will want to verify that you are the business owner.

To verify they will use an automated call system that will call your main business number. The number will request a code that the Yelp page will display to you: once you enter this code your profile will be created and listing claimed.

Confirm your email address.You will receive an email from Yelp confirming your email. Click the “Confirm Email Address” link in that email.

Once you have entered the num-ber you can then manage your business profile. Click on “Your Business” in the top navigation to see information about your page on Yelp.

3 update your information

To complete the information about your business, click on “Business Information.”

There are a few key areas that you will want to update the informa-tion on:

1. Category: You want to select as many categories as your business might be related to. You can pick up to three on Yelp. There are main categories and also sub-categories with dropdown options to choose from.

2. Map Location: Make sure your map marker clearly shows where

you are. You can adjust the market so it is precise. This is very helpful for customers searching for you!

3. Hours, Specialties, History, Bio: Fill in as much information as you can here to help your customers trust that you are legitimate!

4. Photos: Go to the photos tab and upload photos of your business or products. 8 - 10 photos is a good idea, be sure to add captions!

Thanks To The Westminster Chamber of Commerce Pelican Publications is pleased to have assisted Westminster Chamber of Commerce in the production of the Experience Westminster lifestyle magazine. The Westminster Chamber has done a masterful job in compiling this first Experience Westminster lifestyle magazine.

Lifestyle Magazines Pelican specializes in “lifestyle” magazines with an emphasis on local photography and local community articles. Our lifestyle magazines are artistic and colorful, with timeless feel good stories. We want our lifestyle magazines to be just as beautiful and just as relevant in five years, as they are on the day they are published.The internet is a poor substitute for printed lifestyle magazines. The beauty of local photographs is more dazzling on glossy paper than on the screen of a mobile device. And, local stories make lifestyle magazines relevant to local readers. Pelican’s lifestyle magazines were recently elevated to a larger and academic stage, when our co-publisher and designer were invited to be the Distinguished Speakers at a department banquet of a major Midwestern college to talk about how Pelican’s lifestyle magazines “promote a sense of place and place attachment” with magazines that are “…beautiful and clearly articulated…” .

Create Your Own Lifestyle Magazine Pelican can help your business create its own lifestyle magazine. Lifestyle magazines are a pleasant and distinc-tive way for businesses to promote their services, and their local community, to their customers. Businesses’ maga-zines can become a coffee table fixture in customers’ homes.Many organizations prepare annual reports for their patrons. Redesigning an annual report into a lifestyle magazine creates a publication that will remain in the patron’s library.

We are Pelican Publications (303.955.5036) and we proud of our role in bringing to you beautiful lifestyle magazines; including the Experience Westminster and the Living in Westminster magazines on behalf of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce.

lifestyle magazines are a pleasant and distinctive way for businesses to promote their services, and their local community, to their customers.

Westminster Westy Fest - August 9th

IIf you have enjoyed the entertain-ment of the Westminster Faire, meet Westy Fest! Since 1990 this special community event has been known as Westminster Faire but to reflect

the new, re-energized approach community members are calling this fun-filled gather-ing of friends Westy Fest! Over the years the event has become one of the largest events in Westminster and brings in around 10,000 people. For those with fond mem-ories of the Westminster Faire of the past – don’t worry! The long-held traditions of entertainment, education, and family-fri-endly fun are long from forgotten. Join the fun and enjoy arts and crafts, a variety of vendors, amazing food and a day of great memories.

Once you have arrived, there is something to spark the interests of everyone! Those looking for some physical activity can join the Holy Cow Trail Stampede 10K trail run

and 5K walk. As in years before the route is the same but the race is now ran by 3W Ra-ces. The race starts at 9:00 AM and includes chip timing. The race starts and finishes at the Christopher Fields baseball fields be-hind the Armed Forces Tribute Garden. If you are looking to test your strength and agility try out the climbing wall or obstacle course. If you are just looking for fun, try the bounce houses!

There will be two different stages with en-tertainment throughout the day. The arts are all around at Westy Fest with face pain-ting, arts and crafts vendors, and endless entertainment. Animal lovers will enjoy the Animal Avenue. Dog or cat owners are encouraged to bring their furry friend for low-cost vaccinations and micro-chipping.

Join us on Saturday, August 9th at City Park for an entertaining day of fun in the sun!

CHOICES IN WESTMINSTER

VETERINARIANSLEGACY VETERINARY CLINIC

Westminster residents love their pets and want to make sure they have the best animal care possible. From food choices to groomers to toys, we go the extra mile for our pets. Perhaps most important are the choices we make to ensure our pets receive proper health care. Choosing a veterinarian is very important for both you and your pet, so this edition of Living in Westminster includes an article on Choos-ing a New Veterinarian. Using these practical tips, we identified one of Westminster’s “Choice” animal hospitals.

As a community of pet lovers, Westminster has a great selection of animal hospitals, making it difficult to select just one as our “Choice” in Westminster. Different veterinarian clinics and animal hospitals offer different specialties and personalities, making your animal health care choice a personal decision that may not be the right fit for someone else. We are profiling Dr. Kaveh Sarhangpour of the Legacy Veterinary Clinic as one of the great choices in animal health care for Westminster.

LEGACY VETERINARY CLINICLocated at 5044 West 92nd Ave in Westminster, the Legacy Veterinary Clinic was founded by Dr. Kaveh Sarhangpour. Consistent with Dr. Sarhangpour’s academic background, the clinic’s goal is to bring academic grade medicine to Westminster in a cost conscious manner. The doctor’s academic background is also reflected by the fact that veterinary students from Colorado State University do rotations at the Legacy Veterinary Clinic. And, Dr. Sarhangpour educates practicing veterinarians as a continuing education lecturer. Some may characterize Dr. Sarhangpour’s clinic has having one foot in the private practice and the other foot in the academic study. In any event, the clinic’s academic ties are good for patients, especially those with complex medical issues.

Kaveh Sarhangpour, DVM, CHOICE VETERINARIANDr. Sarhangpour’s journey to becoming a vet-erinarian, and to eventually found the Legacy Veterinary Clinic, is extraordinary. The doctor is a native of Iran and became interested in animal healthcare when he witnessed an Iranian veteri-narian technician save the lives of a cow and calf during a difficult birth. The doctor believed that he had witnessed a miracle as the calf transformed from a non-breathing lump to a living being, which was walking and feeding within minutes. This was the start of Dr.

Sarhangpour’s professional journey.

Dr. Sarhangpour was accepted into the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Tehran, Iran in 1978. Acceptance into universities was based entirely on merit and Dr. Sarhangpour was one of the first 1,000 students selected from 600,000 applicants. The educational approach used by veterinarian schools in Iran (and Europe) differ from schools in the United States because veterinarian educa-tion in Europe begins on the first day of schooling and continues for six years without a requirement for an undergraduate degree. The Iranian revolution interrupted Dr. Sarhangpour’s education from 1980 to 1983, so the six year veterinary program lasted for nine years and the doctor finally graduated in 1987 from the University of Tehran. The doctor then received post graduate training in Tehran from 1987 to 1991 and eventually received his PhD in veterinary endocrinology from the University of Tehran.

The doctor became a faculty member at the University of Tehran in 1996 and was soon invited to become a visiting scholar and lecturer at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Illinois. Within a year Dr. Sarhangpour was invited to become a research associate and lecturer at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Colorado State University where he remained as a visit-ing professor for three years. The founding of the Legacy Veterinary Clinic was the last step of this extraordinary professional journey.
