Seeing the world through the lens of dyslexia provides both challenges and opportunities, as the newest inductees into the Liberty Schools Dyslexic Hall of Fame can attest.
On Saturday, at the schools gala, Clyde Church, Keeton Disser and Gov. John Hickenlooper joined Rod Barker, Paul Folwell, Edward Jackson, Lisa Schuba, Quinn Harris, Ian Altman, Claude Steelman and Matt Kelly as stellar examples of how being dyslexic does not mean one cannot live a large and meaningful life.
Church is an old friend, and it was a pleasure to see him honored, although I didnt know that he has dealt with dyslexia all his life. When he began learning to read, his natural instincts were to read in columns instead of from right to left.
Fortunately, in eighth grade, he became interested in math and science, and a reading course during his freshman year at Phoenix College taught him techniques to structure the language and increase word recognition.
After graduating from Arizona State University with degrees in chemistry and education, he pursued a career that took him to Motorola, Sperry, Burroughs, Winnebago and the Iowa State University College of Engineering before he became the engineering manager for Metal Craft in the mid-1990s. That job allows him to work in Durango, where he is incredibly active in Rotary International and is the district governor-elect for 2014-15.
Friend and fellow Rotarian Roger Ptolemy, a member of the Liberty Schools board, introduced Church. Hall of Famer Harris, who works in the technology and computer field, welcomed him into the fold.
Schuba, the principal of Animas High School, and Barker, the owner of the Strater Hotel, both Hall of Famers from 2009, introduced Hickenlooper.
He struggled throughout his school years, flunking seventh grade and having to repeat it. Thats too late for most remediation, he thinks, so he is putting an emphasis on reading in kindergarten through third grade in Colorados schools.
Despite his problems in his early years of education, Hickenlooper went on to graduate from Wesleyan University with a bachelors degree in English and a masters degree in geology. After founding the successful Wynkoop Brewpub in Denver, he led our state capital city for eight years and has headed our state for the last two.
The guv was unable to attend the festivities, but Durango City Councilor Christina Rinderle was on hand to do the honors on his behalf. And he sent a DVD about the challenges he has confronted and the strengths he has discovered in his dyslexic journey.
Rinderle stuck around to introduce Disser, this years final Hall of Fame inductee.
Dissers early school years are an example of how a child with dyslexia becomes a woman of achievement through the support of her family and mentorship of a caring teacher. Her family moved as many as 15 times when she was young, and Disser spent her time in school struggling and trying to be invisible.
Fortunately, her grandmother helped steer her to Fountain Valley, a boarding school in Colorado Springs. Art teacher Jeff Brown took her under his wing and helped her explore her artistic talents, but it wasnt until she was graduating from Fountain Valley that she was diagnosed as dyslexic.
After graduating from the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design, Disser taught at the Excel Charter School and in Aztec before turning entrepreneur and purchasing The Rock Lounge in 2011.
Dissers fellow artist and Hall of Fame inductee Folwell, Class of 2010, presented her with the plaque.
Dan Guandolo has his master of ceremonies gig down pat, and Liberty School Board President Robert Harrington sent everyone out into the cold November night with a new understanding of just how amazing a dyslexic brain can be with the right teaching and nurturing.
Kate North, the chairwoman of the event, and her committee, dubbed the Magnificent Seven, did a lovely job, pulling in $27,000 for the schools Scholarship Fund.
Cindy Atchison and Suzette Collard organized the schools parents in collecting more than 150 silent-auction items. Teacher Pam Savage and volunteer Judy Abercrombie made the logistics and the complicated checkout flow, while Scott Griggs not only worked on the long-term organization, but also put his photography skills to work to document the evening for the school and yours truly.
Liberty Head of School Bill OFlanagan might arguably be excused for coasting on some pretty impressive laurels after decades in the field, but he brings an extraordinary amount of passion and energy to the school. He shared all the different ways teachers and administrators have used during the last year to engage and teach their students and how several graduates have transitioned successfully to local middle and high schools.
Want to learn more about how the dyslexic brain works? Liberty School founder Joyce Bilgrave recommends Daniel Pinks The Whole Mind: Why Right-Brainers will Rule the World and The Dyslexic Advantage by Drs. Brock and Fernette Eide.
The event was successful in large part because of generous sponsors Harris Water Engineering, First National Bank of Durango, Fort Lewis College and Alpine Bank.
And belated happy birthday wishes go to Liberty School student Dermarr Harlan, who celebrated his birthday at the shindig.
Breaking out their mittens and hats for their birthdays are Sharon Gordon, Joanne Spina, Julie Shimada, Cory Gillespie, Heather Phillips, Taylor Peterson, Gay Smith, Mike Stone, Marie Davis, Everett Hoyt, Noreen Smith, Blaine Thomson, Mary Ruth Bowman, Robert Newby, Tom Hahl, Ryan Overington, Matt Patton and Betty Ann Beauregard.
The parents at St. Columba School have done it again! I wait every year to see what their theme will be for their gala and then cant wait to see how they execute it.
This year, in its 19th outing, instead of being transported to another place, we went back in time for A Moonlit Night at the Speakeasy.
The Rev. James Koenigsfeld pointed out in his letter to the 280 attendees that speakeasies werent just places to go drink illegal potent potables, they were a place to come together and be social, and thats what the gala was about Oct. 27.
Folks dressed up and got into the spirit, with variations vintage and modern of the flapper dress. Classrooms were divided by theme of the silent-auction items inside, with names such as the Cotton Club (food, fine wine, dinners at restaurants, etc.), Leftys Live Jazz (sporting goods, outdoor equipment, quilts and knitted goods), and the Flapper Lounge (items for the home).
I must attend at least 50 events with silent auctions every year, and this is the one that never fails to blow me away. Each classroom puts together a giant themed package each year. The fifth-grade parents might have ultimate bragging rights this year. They went all out on A Taste of Italy, creating not one, not two, but three baskets with a value of $569.
But the kindergarten class Once Upon a Storybook included a bookcase and enough books to provide hundreds of hours of reading pleasure; the sixth grades South of the Border, looked muy delicioso; and, well, you get the picture.
Every teacher and aide donated something cool, from Bridget Stowers hand-tied flies with the Little Red Book of Fly Fishing to the May familys scavenger hunt mystery dinner party for children fifth grade and up created by Lynn May, Dianne May and St. Columba alumna Mariah May-Ostendorp.
The school was transformed (including the restrooms) with silhouettes of a whos who from the 1920s and 30s, such as F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Babe Ruth and Sigmund Freud.
It was a true crush, with guests noshing on appetizers provided by the parents and coordinated by Janet OBannon as they strolled from room to room. And then it was time for dinner and the live auction.
St. Columba has had a couple of talented chefs during the last decade or so, and Scott Arbaugh demonstrated what the kids enjoy every day with his healthy scrumptious salad of baby arugula, roasted grapes, prosciutto di Parma and herbed goat cheese with champagne vinaigrette, beef braciole with roasted tomato chutney, ratatouille and grilled polenta; finished off with a delectable dessert of fried chocolate ravioli with coffee cream sauce. (OK, not healthy, but you want diners happy and awake for a live auction, and this fit the bill.)
Gillian Arnwine coordinated the bar, which was busy as befits the theme.
E.M. Taylor, Lonnie and Dena Malouff of Classic Auction led the group through quick competitive bidding for 42 items ranging from classroom art projects (way cool items that are great mementos) to excursions such as fly-fishing with Principal Kevin Chick, camping with newly minted Monsignor Jim and a week in Bob Lieb and Annie Carrolls three-bedroom home on Kaui in Hawaii (The big money-getter at $3,400).
Kathrene Frautschy, director of development, continues to amaze with her leadership and cheerful spirit. In addition to folks Ive already mentioned, a rousing round of applause goes to the organizing committees led by Mary Mummery, Katie Stewart, Mary Lynn Clark, Tami Huber, Sandy Gurule, Victoria Anguis, Angela Turner, Tracy Pope, Jenni Ziercher, Adrienne Aronson and Debbie Worthy along with their merry gang of volunteers.
And before I forget, the punch line of the story is $70,000 raised. Yep, you read that right $70,000 that will be used to balance the schools budget, enhance activities and programs and expand the schools technology offerings.
Adding some rum to their early eggnogs for their anniversaries are Ken and Pat LeRoy (54!), Ben and Kathy Anderson and Paul and Betty Ann Beauregard.

A multicultural group celebrates their beautiful children

For a group of Des Moines-area friends, all mothers of young children, there is never a quiet moment in the conversation. Naturally, there are the requisite tales of soccer games and memorable "you won't believe what my child said" stories, but these women share a more intimate bond that triggers a topic close to their hearts. They've all adopted children--from Iowa, Texas, Florida, China, Guatemala, and Russia--in short, the world. On a glorious autumn afternoon, this multicultural group gathers for a luncheon to celebrate these beautiful children and the joy they bring to their families.
"Each of us has been blessed with such positive experiences from the adoptions of our children," says attorney Nicolle Schippers, who with her husband, Greg, adopted daughter Emma from Guatemala in 2007. "We've had many opportunities to celebrate these special additions with our own families, but it's fun to reflect with women who share similar experiences."
The table scheme is imbued with youthful spirit. An apple-green-and-white linen print topper on a tailored gray silk table skirt is the springboard for an exuberant palette. White faux patent-leather placemats edged with shimmering crystal trim catch the light (and the children's eyes).
Pewter is associated with masculine decor, but here the pewter-colored goblets were chosen for their modern edge and paired with gray-and-silver tinted crystal stemware. Glazed octagonal stoneware chargers set off plates that are decorated with painterly green flowers. The dinnerware complements the menu, which includes pumpkin soup, salmon with a soy dressing over salad greens, and scrumptious ginger cake.
The tablescape creates a sophisticated tension between invigorating apple green and sturdy pewter, one that is energized by roses and hydrangeas in bright jolts of contemporary colors--orange, raspberry, and green. Rather than offering the expected nut cups filled with nuts and mints, a lidded glass bowl at each place setting cups a bloom of green hydrangea. Elegant in their slender silhouettes, silver candlesticks nestled among the table decorations add sparkle.
In the corner of the room, a white-painted tray table displays a ginger cake that's irresistible--just ask the kids. Frosted art glass vases filled with roses and hydrangeas echo the flowers on the main table, adding color to this inviting dessert station.
"During the adoption process, you make calls to talk with others who are going through the same thing," says Erin Barfels, human resources manager for an insurance company, who with her husband, Chris, welcomed son Chase to their family in 2007. "This lunch was special because it was more party than process." Although their experiences varied, the mothers agree that any way a child comes to you is a miracle.

Dynamic Light and Shade
In this volume, noted author and teacher Burne Hogarth illustrates every effect of light and shade with brilliant drawings in pencil, charcoal, carbon, pen and ink, and brush and ink, encouraging the reader to experiment with diverse drawing media. Following introductory chapters, the author devotes a separate chapter to each of the five basic categories of light and shade: single-source light, double-source light, flat diffused light, moonlight, and sculptural light. Hogarth also includes discussions regarding spatial light, transparent light, fragmentation light, radiant light, and artist-invented expressive light. The first book on this fundamental aspect of art technique, this is an essential volume for everyone who draws and paints. Paperback, 160 pages.

Thomas Jefferson took an early lead in the Nationals presidents race Friday night at Nationals Park and held onto the lead, showboating as he spun across the finish line.
But it was Abe Lincoln who stole the show, veering off course at the last minute and drawing gasps as he plowed into the sponsor. The diminutive GEICO Gecko was clearly not prepared for Abe's open field tackle.
Perhaps Abe wasn't able to save 15% on his car insurance.

After 7 months on the road, we finally returned home to San Francisco yesterday. In those 7 months, we covered over 10,000 miles throughout western Mexico, Canada and the United States, and we slept in over 23 different locations.
It was a life changing trip, but we're also really glad to be home again finally.
It turns out that it was also quite a productive trip. When we left, I had recently resigned from the email prioritization startup I co-founded three years before. I was burned out and looking forward to a rejuvenating break. I hoped at some point that I might be inspired to start thinking about my next startup or project.
The inspiration came in spades. It started with all the amazing people we met along the way, who had each in some way crafted an enviable and unconventional lifestyle. I then started wondering why I couldn't also pursue the things I wanted to, now, without being rich or retired.
That led me to start this blog, as an exploration of how to build a unique and fulfilling life outside of the normal boundaries that most people accept. I didn't have a name for what I wanted to do until I started reading on the topic and found that lifestyle design defined it. I'm now committed to helping others design and build their own ideal lifestyles.
I'm building a business around lifestyle design through this blog and other upcoming projects. Along those lines, I will be publishing my first eBook later this Summer. It will be a free resource, and I'll tell you more about it in an upcoming post.
I'm also working on a complete redesign of Free Pursuits. I've enlisted the help of web designer Andrew Lindstrom to bring my vision for the site to life. The work he's done for me looks really great, and I can't wait to share it with you. We will also be adding an entirely new section to the site to help you learn more about other lifestyle design resources available out there, so stay tuned.
Chris Guillebeau Meetup
We spent the last month in the Pacific Northwest visiting friends and family, and sailing up in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, Canada. While in Portland last week, I was lucky enough to be able to join in Chris Guillebeau's PDX meetup. It was really cool to see how dedicated Chris' fans are to his work, and to meet some fun and interesting people. If you have a chance, be sure to check out his upcoming LA event.

If you want a book about colloids from the most well-verse and clear-thinking guru in the field, Hakan Wennerstrom, this is it, particularly if you need mastery of the mathematics and modeling. Wennerstrom does not fall prey to the many conceptual errors that are common in the field, such as double-counting hydrophobic interaction terms and the like. And if you want to delve deeper into any one of the concepts in the book, you can be sure that you'll find a publication from Wennerstrom and the Univ. Lund Phys. Chem. group that goes far deeper, both in terms of mathematics and application of the concepts. So there really shouldn't be any complaining that these 632 pages don't go deep enough, the literature is all on PubMed and will be understood once you've read this manifesto.

Glycolic acid stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. Its small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25% thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid is also generally more suited to oily skin.
Available in two strengths: Glycolic/35 and Glycolic/50

Essential self-care for arthritis
By Barbara Floria, Pure Matters
If you have arthritis, taking your medication and following your doctor's recommendations are essential. But self-care can be just as important in your daily and long-term management of the disease.
Other important parts of treatment include exercise, rest and relaxation, a healthy diet, and instruction on how to use your joints and ways to conserve energy (no wasted motion).
The following medical and self-care steps can make living with arthritis easier and less painful.
Medical essentials
- See your doctor and get an accurate diagnosis. The earlier an accurate diagnosis is made and proper treatment started, the better. "Early treatment often can mean less joint damage and less pain," says Dr. Klippel from the Arthritis Foundation. "In addition, the right treatment requires getting the right diagnosis. There are more than 100 types of arthritis, and each should be managed in slightly different ways."
- If you have a type of arthritis other than osteoarthritis see an ophthalmologist for a complete eye exam or discuss the need for an eye exam with your physician. Many of the inflammatory types of arthritis are associated with eye disease.
- Update your medications. If you've been taking the same arthritis medications for years, ask your doctor if any of the newer drugs have fewer side effects or provide greater pain relief than your current regimen.
- Take your medication as prescribed. If you're tempted to stop taking your medication because you believe it's not working or causing side effects, call your doctor first. "It can take weeks or even months for the full benefits of a medication to be felt or for side effects to disappear," says Dr. Klippel. "Stopping a medication abruptly may not only cause you to miss out on its benefits, in some cases it can be dangerous."
There are many types of arthritis. Experienced health care providers, physical therapists, and occupational therapists can recommend exercises that are particularly helpful for a specific type of arthritis.
Movement musts
Three types of exercise are best for people with arthritis, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS):
- Range of motion. This type of exercise helps maintain normal joint movement, relieve stress and increases flexibility.
- Strengthening. This type of exercise helps keep or increase muscle strength. Strong muscles support and protect the joints.
- Aerobic or endurance. This type of exercise improves cardiovascular fitness, helps control weight and improves overall function. It may also help reduce inflammation in some joints.
Here are some ideas for exercising with arthritis:
- Stay on the move. Regular exercise helps relieve and prevent arthritis pain. An effective program can help stabilize a weak or damaged joint and promote flexibility, which can reduce pain and stiffness. Be sure to check with your doctor before starting an exercise program.
- Warm up before working out. Start slowly and get up to speed only after your muscles and joints have had at least five minutes of prep time.
- Stretch it out. Warm up first by walking or taking a hot shower, then stretch. Stretching helps keep joints and muscles flexible, relieves stress and can help you maintain your daily activities.
- Take the plunge. Exercising in water can build strength and increase range of motion, and the water's buoyancy reduces wear and tear on sore joints. Check your local YMCA or call the Arthritis Foundation for an aquatic exercise program in your area.
- Avoid excess stress on your joints. Use larger or stronger joints to carry things. Shop for devices that can make tasks at home and work easier.
- Increase your range. Range-of-motion exercises (such as stretching) are a good way to keep your muscles and ligaments flexible and strong.
- Take a walk. Choose your favorite spots (indoors and out) and make plans to walk around them at least once a week. Walking is the ideal exercise for most people with arthritis. It burns calories, strengthens muscles and builds denser bones, all without jarring fragile joints.
- Monitor how you feel after exercise. If your joints hurt two hours after a workout, you're doing too much and need to reduce the length or intensity of your workout.
Dietary directives
- Lose weight by eating fewer calories and exercising more. You won't just look better, you'll feel better, too. Research shows losing as little as 11 pounds may reduce your risk for osteoarthritis of the knee by 50 percent. "Every extra pound you carry around translates to added stress to your knees and hips," says Dr. Klippel. "Excess weight can mean more pain, no matter which form of arthritis you have. It also can contribute to and aggravate osteoarthritis."
- Pour a glass of orange juice or peel an orange. Research shows that vitamin C and other antioxidants can reduce the risk for osteoarthritis and its progression. Another bonus: Oranges and other citrus fruits are good sources of folic acid, which can help alleviate the side effects of the rheumatoid arthritis drug methotrexate and reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease in women with lupus, a form of arthritis.
- Be sure to get enough vitamin D and calcium. Low intake of vitamin D may increase the risk of osteoarthritis.
- Ask your doctor for advice about your diet and any connections between your food and the type of arthritis you have.
Preempt pain
- Apply heat. To relieve pain and stiffness, try warm towels, hot packs or a warm bath or shower. Use heat therapy 15 to 20 minutes three times a day. Your health care professional may offer shortwave, microwave and ultrasound to get heat to joint areas.
- Try cold. Applying cold to sore spots also can help reduce pain and swelling. Use a cold pack, a bag of ice wrapped in a towel or a bag of frozen vegetables for a quick and easy cold treatment 10 to 15 minutes at a time. You also can try an "ice massage" and rub ice directly on a painful joint.
- Enjoy a massage. Massage can relieve muscle tension and help reduce fatigue. Certain forms, such as Swedish, focus on muscles and joints to improve function. Traction and manipulation also can help ease pain.
- Learn to relax. Relaxation therapy can also help reduce pain. Possible sources to learn these techniques include a physical therapist, the Arthritis Foundation or a health club.
- Acupuncture. Look for someone who is medically qualified to do acupuncture. Researchers believe that the acupuncture needles stimulate nerves that tell the brain to release natural painkillers called endorphins, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS).
Finally, learn everything you can about your condition so you can better manage it. Staying current with research, new medications, advances in surgery and arthritis devices can help reduce pain and maintain your activity level.

Recovering from a severe storm isn't fun. It may take days, weeks and even months to return to a place of normalcy. But while you can't control the weather, having a storm recovery checklist in place can hopefully make it easier to minimize your losses and recover quickly. Check out the infographic above to help you get started:
Step 1: Contact your agent
Check with your agent to get the ball rolling on your claim. When it matters most, your agent is there to help you through the process so you can get back on your feet.
Step 2: Snap some pictures
Document the damage with photos or video, and make a detailed list of damaged or missing items. Have our iPhone app? It's a great way to collect details and store photos and videos of damage.
Step 3: Carry a notebook
Keep the details straight by taking notes and tracking your expenses.
- List the names and numbers of people you speak with, like your agent, adjuster and contractor
- Track expenses including lodging and repairs
- Jot down questions you want to ask
Step 4: Put on your tool belt
Make temporary repairs to protect your property from further damage and keep your family safe.
- Secure broken windows
- Remove broken tree limbs
- Cover holes and leaks
- Avoid downed power lines
- Leave the big repairs to the professionals
Step 5: Work with your claims representative
Your claims representative is a resource during the claims and repair process. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Together, you'll determine:
- Amount of damage
- What needs to be repaired or replaced
- The cost to make needed repairs
Step 6: Check out your contractor
When it comes to selecting a contractor, keep these tips in mind:
- Check their track record through your local Better Business Bureau, Home Builder's Association or adjuster
- Ask for references
- Document everything and refer to your contract often
