THE BEHR TEAMDENVER ’S PREMIER REAL ESTATE TEAM
The Behr Team is consistently ranked as the #1 Real Estate Team in the Denver Metro Area.
I grew up in the flatlands of the Midwest, so Colorado ski trips were always a highlight for me. While I loved my hometown of
Kansas City (Go Royals), the last few days of the vacation were al-ways tough because I was never ready to leave Colorado.
Upon college graduation, one of my best friends, Scott, immediately packed his Ford Bronco and bolted for Vail. Knowing my parents would not be quite as stoked about this idea as I was, I did what a good college grad should do and took a low-paying, chew 'em up, spit 'em out, entry-level, corporate job. Scott would often call me as his night was winding down, and my morning commute was starting.
Needless to say, my tenure in the healthcare staffing industry was a short one. That February, I informed my folks that I was heading to the mountains to get some skiing in and visit my old pal Scott. I withheld a few details. I was going to Vail, and I was not coming back until the lifts stopped turning in April.
My first stop in town was the Vail Resorts employment office. There was no way I was going to fill my parents in on my extended spring break until I had a job. By this mid-way point in the ski season, there were enough lift operators who had flaked out and I was hired. Those three months turned into three years. I can still remember turn by turn some of my most memorable powder days. If you know, you just know. There isn't anything like it.
Here in Cherry Creek, we see a wide array of winter sports enthusiasts--from casual snowshoe hikers to Winter Olympic medal winners. No, not everyone in Colorado is a winter sports nut, but many of you are. This issue is for you!

POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF CONVEN-TION CENTER
Denver voters are being asked in the November 3, 2015, election to approve more than $700 million to expand the Colorado Convention Center and to build a new National Western Center, a year-round events, equestrian and education-al facility that will also be home to the National Western Stock Show. Funding would come by extending current taxes that are set to expire in 2023. No new taxes will be involved. An independent study by the Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) released in 2014 recommended the changes to the Colorado Convention Center as well as advising that new facil-ities be built for the National Western. A master plan for the Colorado Convention Center is in development. The Colorado Convention Center celebrated its 25th anniversary in June 2015. It is credited with generating more than $500 million in annual economic impact for a total of more than $4.8 billion since the center was expanded in 2004. The center has also been the catalyst for many improve-ments downtown. Denver now has nearly 2,200 hotel rooms within one block of the convention center, more than 8,600 hotel rooms within walking distance and will have more than 10,000 downtown rooms total by the end of 2016.

BEST DAY EVERTwenty-five adoptable dogs from the
Denver Animal Shelter enjoyed the Best Pool Party Ever followed by poolside pet adoption at Water World. Merrick Pet Care teamed up with the Denver Animal Shelter and Water World in order to give the animals a chance to find their forev-er home. So many animals are killed in shelters every year and it was their goal to bring awareness to the importance of adoption. Although the event is over, the Denver Animal Shelter is always looking for families who want to add a fury four-legged friend to their home.

Music classes that accept 6 month olds. Art classes that take 18 month olds. It almost sounds too good
to be true, considering kindergarten has us waiting un-til our child is 4 or 5 years old to begin immersing them in fun social and learning practices. If you’re an extraordi-nary parent that wants your little one to develop their so-cial and learning capabilities sooner rather than later, it’s good to know that Gymboree helps parents do just that.
Located at 5046 E Hampden Ave in Denver, Gym-boree offers lessons for children in music and play (6 mos – 5 yrs), art (18 mos – 5 yrs), and sports (3-5 yrs). Their “play and learn” classes are divided into seven levels based on age, and inspire sensory and prob-lem-solving development. “School skills” courses for toddlers 3-5 yrs are also offered, in which your little one can prepare for the social, emotional and intel-lectual abilities they will need for entrance into pre-school or kindergarten.
“Our school skills classes help toddlers and pre-school-ers with the drop-off transition,” says Salima Dadani, owner of Denver’s Gymboree. “Most of our children move on to school without separation anxiety and lots of intellectual independence. They have learned to listen to other adults, learned social skills that help them interact with their peers, like taking turns and socializing.”
All classes focus on the individual child’s psychological and physical development needs, as well as their creative thinking and problem solving skills. Class sizes depend on monthly enrollment, with 18 being the limit for play and learn classes and 10 in music, art and sports. Drop-off classes have a 1:5 faculty member/child ratio, howev-er only one teacher is available for all other classes, since the parents are required to assist their child. Why you may ask? Well, there's a pretty good reason why.
“Most of our classes require parent participation. Having parents, grandparents or guardians in class helps kids gain confidence in their learning abilities and remain comfortable in their learning environments. When par-ents and kids visit, we ask that parents stay within an arm’s reach of their child as some of the equipment is challenging. Parents participation is so helpful because it helps you, the parent, interact with your child, while help-ing them be imaginative and confident in their play.”
With membership at Gymboree, your child will re-ceive two free classes at any other Gymboree loca-tion, unlimited play gyms, and coupons/Gymbucks to Gymboree clothing stores. Most importantly, they’ll be exposed to other kiddies their age and be given the gift of early social, physical and psycho-logical development that will steer them in the right direction for a healthy and happy education.

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE CLASSIC HOMEWORKS HONORS THE PAST WHILE CREATING THE FUTURE
ARTICLE EMILY O'BRIEN | PHOTOGRAPHY JAMES MAYNARD OF VANTAGE ARCHITECTURAL IMAGERY
Open House
Established in 1985, Classic Homeworks is a full-service design/build remodeling firm, specializing in the renovation of 100+ year
homes in central Denver. One of its latest projects happens to be one the nicest Denver Square homes it has worked on.
“The home was really well taken care of. It faces a park and was previously remodeled, but the kitchen was done by a fix and flip type of company and it just didn’t fit with the rest of the house,” says Design and Operations Manager Paul Fread.
After initial visits with the homeowners to learn about their big picture vision that entailed changes to the main and upper levels, Paul helped everyone land on an ideal floor plan and feasible budget. Then Classic Homeworks’ Field Team got to work. The team wanted to keep the original charm of this historical home in Denver’s High-land neighborhood while updating the kitchen, upstairs bathroom, master bedroom and master suite.
KITCHEN + MUDROOM
The idea was to create a historic, classic, white kitchen and mud-room with marbled countertops that blended into the rest of the home. An existing doorway was shifted from the dining room to the kitchen, and then the kitchen to the mudroom entryway was pushed a few feet. This shifting allowed for a new fridge and cabinets to be installed along a wall that previously housed awkwardly shallow cabinets. It opened up additional counter space and an extra row of cabinets was added for storage above. The mudroom brings kitchen functionality into the space with cabinets and a coffee bar.
MASTER SUITE
The room was reconfigured by altering the entry doorway in order to turn a regular bedroom into a master suite. An existing closet was walled off and given to the bedroom next door. The floor was refinished and the room received a new coat of paint. A door to the new walk-thru bathroom was also created.

patterned floor tile compliments the glass shower enclosure. The vanity cabinet came complete with marble top and sinks a la fur-niture style via Restoration Hardware. Instead of knocking out the wall to construct an outside window, Classic Homeworks installed a transom window above the doorway, which brought in light from the existing window located in the closet.
ADDITIONAL BATHROOM
In keeping with the clean, classic feel, this bathroom received a refreshing facelift. A new claw foot pedestal tub was purchased, the glass block window was replaced with frosted glass and fixtures

Working within the existing structure, every detail was thought out during the design process and the end result is simply stunning. Now the whole house gives off the same feel and nothing seems out of place. Because of its beauty and attention to detail, this project won 1st place in the 2015 C.A.R.E. Awards for a Historic Remodel.

5 Non-profits Making a Difference
ARTICLE EMILY O'BRIEN
Ripple Effect
Non-profits function as bridges between the public and af-fordable products and services—things not always readily
available to all pockets of the population. By maximizing re-sources in order to solve pressing issues, non-profits tap into their surplus revenues and use funds to further attain their driving purpose or mission. While the non-profit backdrop is vast and wide, all play imperative roles in our local and global society. One thing is self-evident: non-profits revolve around improving the quality of life, which is a very good thing. Here are five of the lesser known non-profits in our neighborhood.
FUTURE ARTS FOUNDATION
Believing that every student has a right to become a well-round-ed citizen, Future Arts Foundation is doing everything it can to make it happen by supporting two Colorado public schools each month to ensure they have the music and arts sup-plies they need. Funds raised go directly toward supplying public schools and after school pro-grams to guaran-tee that despite significant budget cuts in schools, students get a well-rounded education. FutureArtsFoundation.org
SLOW FOOD DENVER
Made up of a wildly diverse group of food enthusiasts, Slow Food Denver members all share a unified dedication to preserving food traditions and heritage, supporting local food producers and purvey-ors, promoting sus-tainable agriculture, influencing food policy, protecting biodiversity, and educating mem-bers, school chil-dren and the greater community about the
GIRLS INCORPORATED
In 1983, Girls Inc. of Metro Denver (GIMD) was founded by a group of Denver residents intent on changing the number of girls becoming teen mothers, dropping out of high school prior to graduation, and en-tering youth corrections facilities. GIMD is an affiliate of the national Girls Inc. organization. Since its inception, GIMD has served more than 32,000 girls with comprehensive programs and services that prepares each participant to reach her full potential. In addition, since 2005 the Helen M. McLoraine Girls Inc. Scholarship Fund has awarded $475,000 to 62 girls pursuing their college education. GirlsIncDenver.org

pleasures of growing and eating food. Via its two main programs, Seed-to-Table School Garden pro-gram and Community Table, it al-lows for opportunities for people to interact with local food pro-ducers, the option to learn about food production, and the ability to support other organizations with similar missions and goals—to create a food system that’s good for the people and good for the planet. Slow Food Denver is also
located inside The Source, an artisan food market in Denver’s River North Dis-trict. SlowFoodDenver.org
THERE WITH CARE
There With Care provides support to hundreds of families being treated at numerous hospitals and medical facilities across the state. Hospitals and social
workers refer families for services and There with Care works within the community to take the main stresses off their plate. Its mis-sion is to provide a wide range of thoughtful and fundamental services to children and fami-lies during the critical phase of a medical crisis and accomplishes this by building a network of services and people who ease the burden of life’s day-to-day obligations with compassion and care. ThereWithCare.org
THE KITCHEN COMMUNITY
The Kitchen Community (TKC) was es-tablished in 2011 by Hugo Matheson and Kimbal Musk, the owners of The Kitchen family of restaurants. TKC believes in "com-munity through food" by creating a future where every student has the opportunity to play, learn and grow in healthy communities.
To build a better world for students, TKC builds Learning Gardens in schoolyards, primarily in high-risk areas, to pro-
vide an engaging outdoor classroom; thriving fruit, veg-etable and flower gardens; and a gathering place
for the whole community. TKC.org
Contrary to the notion that non-profits are just set up to “save” people, these particular organizations are offering long-term solutions to pertinent issues. And they are making a difference. Whether that’s giving a voice or hand up to someone in need, offering a sliver of a brighter future or showing compassion to someone during a difficult period in life, non-profits are rich resources available in our own backyard.

SNOWBOUND (CONTINUED)
WEEKEND GETAWAY: ASPENWhat happens in Aspen, stays in Aspen, so bring your dancing shoes and pack your snow pants– there are memories waiting to be made. A short four-hour drive from Boulder, Aspen is the perfect weekend getaway. Just far enough off the beaten path known as I-70, crowds are smaller, lift lines are shorter, and four mountains offer something for everyone.DANCE BREAK
Aspen is known for great parties, and they start at Aspen Highland’s Cloud Nine. The European-inspired, mid-mountain restaurant is not your average lunch spot– they’re known for fondue and raclette, not to mention daytime dance parties. You’re likely to see A-List celebrities here popping bottles of bubbly in the afternoon. Just don’t be surprised if they end up dancing on your table. Tip: Hit it at around 2 p.m. for the peak of the party.OBLIGATORY PHOTO BREAK
You’ve just worked your butt off hiking Highland’s Bowl, now what? Obligatory selfie, obviously. From the top of Lodge Peak lift, hike about 45 minutes to access the bowl. Opinions vary on the best time to hike and ski the bowl–a powder day means you’ll want to get there early–but afternoons on sunny days can be great. Take in the views (they’re worth the hike in itself), make some turns, and head straight to après at the Highlands Alehouse for a beer or three– you’ve earned it.LIVE IN THE LAP OF LUXURY
Aspen’s premier hotel offers all the luxurious amenities you’d ex-pect, with some pretty amazing ski-focused perks. Forget mints on your pillow, we’re talking first tracks here!
Guests staying at the Limelight can sign up for first tracks every Fri-day (first come, first serve for up to five guests), getting dibs on freshly groomed corduroy, or even the holy grail of snow – untouched pow. Not a morning person? Try last tracks (sweep the mountain at closing with ski patrol) or inside tracks (cruise the mountain with a mountain pro) instead. Bonus: Start your day off right with expanded continental breakfast. You won’t find junky cereals here (this is Aspen, after all)– homemade granola, smoothies, and frittatas will give you enough fuel to make turns all day.

WINTER VACATION: BANFFWith a little more time to spare, a trip to Canada’s Banff National Park is the ultimate winter getaway. Take a direct two-hour flight from Denver to Calgary, then make the easy–and breathtaking–drive to the park. The town of Banff is situated within the park’s limits and makes a great basecamp to explore the region. Locals love an active, healthy lifestyle but that doesn’t mean you won’t find great food and cocktails.STAY IN A CASTLE
A stay at the Fairmont banff springs, built in 1888, is as close to living in a castle as most of us will get. Sit on a hillside overlooking town, the high-end hotel takes service as seriously as it does a good spa day. The Willow Streams Spa (rated as No.1 Hotel Spa by Travel + Leisure) has three waterfall treatment whirlpools and a Euro-pean mineral pool to relax and rejuvenate you after a long day in the mountains.POWDER OR BUST
Mt. Norquay, Sunshine Village, and Lake Louise Ski Resorts are all located within the park’s boundary, which means vistas are jaw-dropping. For quick afternoon turns, Mt. Norquay is your best bet– hourly lift tickets start at $43 for two hours. Hop on a shuttle to spend the day at Sunshine Village where you can ski along the Continental Divide from early November through late May, or make turns on Lake Louise’s 4,200 acres of terrain.

1. Volkl RTM 86 UVO $1175Like a fine-tuned sports car, the RTM is built for
performance. 3D Ridge technology forms a raised
central ridge on the ski, giving it just the right
amount of flex and torsional rigidity without add-
ing extra weight, so edge-to-edge transitions are
smooth in any conditions. The RTM comes stan-
dard with the WideRide XL 12.0 binding system.
2. Dakine Leather Titan Glove $75Keep your digits warm and dry this winter with
this uber-warm GoreTex glove. Reinforced leath-
er palm adds durability, and waterproof shell
helps keep hands dry. Keep your gloves on for
nimble tasks, thanks to articulated fingers, and
use stash pocket for a heat pack on extra-chilly
days. Bonus: Touch screen compatible.
3. The North Face FuseForm Brigan-dine Jacket $499 & Pant $399The Brigandine begs for adventure. Waterproof,
breathable, and fully seam taped, it’s ready for
any weather you throw at it. High-traction ar-
eas are seamlessly reinforced for durability, and
HyVent fabric with four-way stretch lets you
move freely. Jacket is designed to be worn with
a pack, so pockets are accessible even with a
hipbelt fastened, and pants feature phone-spe-
cific pockets designed to keep moisture out.
4. Outdoor Research UberLayer Hooded Jacket $299The UberLayer does it all– first chair at Vail,
hikes in the backbowls, après, and powder
days. Polartec Alpha (a water resistant and
compressible insulation) and a nylon shell join
forces to create a midlayer that breathes and
keeps you warm, even when wet.
5. K2 Spyne 110High-performance meets versatility in K2’s
Spyne 110. A forgiving flex available in three dif-
ferent lasts (for skinny, normal, and wide feet)
means you’ll be shredding hard all day. You won’t
loose extra energy in power transfer from foot to
ski, thanks to four buckles plus a serious power
strap, and Intuition liner is the icing on the cake.
6. Lululemon Metal Vent Tech Thermal Crew & Tight $78 eachLets face it, baselayers can get stinky. Luckily
the folks at Lululemon are working to out-smart
odor causing bacteria with Silverscent technol-
ogy, so your next-to-skin layer is less likely to
offend your better half. Sweat-wicking fabric
moves moisture quickly to keep you dry and
chafe-resistant seams are kept out of the way.

midlayer like the Desloation can be a game
changer. Super breathable four-way stretch ma-
terial under the arms moves sweat out almost
as quickly as it’s generated, and PrimaLoft Sil-
ver Insulation on the chest and back keeps you
warm so you’re warm when temps drop.
4. Salomon Quest Access Custom Heat W $600Tired of having cold feet? The Quest is your

looking for any excuse to wear these. Made
from a bamboo blend, the Silverqueen and
Jackpot are super soft and have natural an-
ti-bacterial and anti-stink properties.
6. Oakley Flight Deck XM $210The Flight Deck gets a face lift for this season–
debuting a slightly smaller frame size–but still
provides a wide field of vision. Thanks to Prizm
technology one lens can handle a wide variety
of conditions, so you’ll spend less time fum-
bling with lenses and more time making turns.

Bar Fausto
HIP, INDUSTRIAL HANGOUT
ARTICLE ALLYSON REEDY | PHOTOGRAPHY LAUREN DEFILIPPO
Hot Spot
The first thing you need to know about Bar Fausto, located in Denver’s hot RiNo district, is that it’s named after cyclist Fausto
Coppi. If you haven’t heard of Coppi, he was a champion cyclist in the 1940s and early 1950s, as famous for his off-course hijinks and bad habits as he was for his on-course prowess. He won the Tour de France and other prominent races by huge margins, sometimes while guzzling champagne and smoking huge stogies.
40 Cherry Creek Lifestyle | November 2015
It’s this dichotomy – the indulgent and the disciplined – that in-spires the attitude of Bar Fausto. The design is a masculine/fem-inine, urban/rustic, current/vintage mix designed by local design firm Fin Art Co. On one of the walls, retro racing stripes (a nod again to Coppi) paint a white brick wall. It’s no surprise that the former tenants of Bar Fausto were artists, who used it as a live/work space.
The juxtapositions continue onto the menu, where classic cock-tails get modern twists, and an ambitious list of rotating cocktails get top billing. Here the drinks don’t have names but rather num-bers, and the list will grow seasonally.
The first set featured 11 numbered cocktails. The #8 ($12) was a favorite – Blanco Sauza, St. George spiced pear liqueur, lime, cilan-tro-infused simple syrup and cucumber mixed up into a crisp, mildly sweet blend. Missed it on the menu? Don’t worry, all drinks will be cataloged so you can always get your favorite. Even when they’re up to drink #108, you’ll still be able to get the #8.
The next thing you need to know about Bar Fausto – in case you haven’t already guessed – is that the drinks are front and center. The bar is a stunning focal point, running almost the entire length of the very lengthy space. Spirits abound, and in addition to the rotating menu of signature cocktails, there are 30 classic drinks, 13 wines by the glass and between four and seven beers on tap.
If you’re around during happy hour (4-6 p.m.), three cocktails are offered for $6 (the Bourbon Collins is a good choice), along with $2 ‘Dad’ beers and $2 off wines by the glass. There are also a couple food options on special, including a $6 daily bruschetta.
Which brings us to the third thing you should know about Bar Fausto: there is no kitchen. There is, however, a great 1940s meat slicer and a convection oven, which is apparently all they need to make appetizing small plates like the aforementioned bruschetta, antipasti and an assortment of charcuterie.
The Grande Misto assortment of charcuterie ($25) was a board full of well-curated meats and cheeses; some of which are made in-house, but most of which are sourced from New York City’s Salumeria Biellese, a 100-year-old deli famous for its fresh sausages and salumi selection. Tidbits included speck, copa, creamy burrata and a sharp bleu, among others.
The food and drinks at Bar Fausto are all at the top of their game, while still hav-ing a distinct sense of fun. Just like the bar’s namesake himself.

What's Cooking?
The Details:Lo Stella Ristorante
303.825.19951135 Bannock St,
Denver, CO 80204
Thanksgiving is all about family, tradi-tions and food. Each year we celebrate
holidays like Thanksgiving and incorpo-rate traditions that have often times been passed down from generation to gener-ation, and usually recipes fall under this category. So for this holiday season we de-cided to feature a not-so-typical “Thanks-giving” option that is also a comfort food we all know so well – pasta.
What better person to show us the way to make pasta “outside of the box” than Italian native Alessandro Polo, an 8th generation family member of the famed Lo Stella Ristorante. This restau-rant has two homes, the original restau-rant that has been operating in Portofino, Italy since 1850, and now Denver is home to its own version right in the Golden Tri-angle Neighborhood.
Alessandro has a simple request to restaurant goers, “Please don’t ask me for alfredo sauce, meatball spaghetti or chick-en in the pasta, we are Italian for real!”
Italian for real is right. Some recipes in-cluded on the authentic menu have been passed down from previous generations. Like the Tagliatelle della “Nonna Laura,” the bolognese sauce and pesto.
With Alessandro’s permission, we got an insider look into Lo Stella’s kitchen, where chef Luca Pascarella showed us how to make handmade pasta from scratch. If you can’t manage it yourself, stop by Lo Stella Ristorante to get a taste of Italy’s handmade recipes. But we encourage you to give it a try. Maybe this could become your family’s new tradition.
42 Cherry Creek Lifestyle | November 2015
HANDMADE TAGLIATELLE DELLA "NONNA LAURA" INGREDIENTS
• 3/4 cups semolina flour
• 3/4 cups unbleached white flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
• 2 eggs or 3 egg whites, beaten
• 2 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine semolina flour, un-
bleached white flour and salt in
medium mixing bowl.
2. In the bowl or on a clean sur-
face, make a mountain out of
flour mixture then make a deep
well in center. Break the eggs
into the well and add olive oil.
Whisk eggs very gently with a
fork, gradually incorporating
flour from the sides of the well.
When mixture becomes too thick
to mix with a fork, begin knead-
ing with your hands.
3. Knead dough for 10 minutes or
until dough is elastic. Wrap dough
in a towel or places in plastic bad
and let rest for 20-25 minutes.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll
out dough with a pasta machine or
rolling pin to desired thickness.
5. To cut pasta by hand, cut
each pasta sheet into 10-inch
lengths. Brush lightly with
flour, roll up sheet, and, using
a sharp knife, cut into 1/4-inch-
wide strips; unroll. Use tagli-
atelle immediately, or dry on a
floured work surface and store
in an airtight container for up
to three days.
6. Alternatively, use pasta ma-
chine and choose to make anoth-
er style of pasta.
7. Bring large pot of water to boil
and cook 3-5 minutes. Fresh pasta
takes considerably less time to
cook, so keep a close eye on it.

digital detox LOGOFF AND LOGIN TO LIFE (SEE WHAT WE DID THERE?)
ARTICLE ERICA BONIFACE
Tech Today
Facebook. Twitter. Instagram. Online gaming. Online shopping. Fantasy sports teams. Okay, we’ll just stop there.With the world at our fingertips by logging on to the Internet, it’s
easy to get sucked into the digital world. You keep up with friends and family on various social media platforms. You e-mail your boss at all hours of the night. You post photos from your sweet ski trip to Copper Mountain. We get it—2015 is an online world. Everyone is logged on to something.
But when is it too much? When do you go from it being a hobby to it being a habit—or even, an addiction? We spoke to addiction psychiatrist from CeDAR (Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation), Dr. Patrick Fehling, MD about digital addictions to get a better understanding.
“The best predictor to someone having addiction to anything is a prior addiction to something else. Those tend to be people who get in recovery from alcohol or pain killers for instance. We get them clean and a new addiction develops—like exercise addiction,” says Dr. Fehling. “The same rules would apply for Internet usage—social media has to do with wanting to feel attached and connected to people. People are watching you. The narcissism of humanity, they feel important and their lives are meaningful.”
But, come on. Don’t people want to see photos of our 3-year-old’s preschool artwork and a play-by-play of potty training?
“Most recovery involves two ingredients: Acceptance. You have identified a problem. You’ve accepted you have a problem. The second is commitment. You are committed to do better and makes changes. That’s how you would start,” explains Dr. Fehling.
Okay, shut down by Dr. Fehling, but we’ll still post that stick-figure artwork. So much talent.
In all seriousness, Dr. Fehling explained that Internet Addic-tion Disorder often has a duel-diagnosis. Meaning you’re de-pressed, have social anxiety or something else going on—you want to avoid others so you tend to ignore them and spend time on the computer. You trick yourself to feel like you’re attached to others, but you’re not.
“You have found a way to keep partial attachment going while being isolated and less motivated to change,” says Dr. Fehling.
It’s time for a digital detox. How do you even start with forgetting about your Fantasy Football Team? Won’t you get fired if you don’t e-mail the boss at 10 p.m.? Here are 4 tips to get started:
1. Boundaries. Articulate boundaries with your friends, family and co-workers. Set a time when it’s okay to be online—and when it’s not. For instance, if dinner and getting kids to bed happens be-tween 6 p.m.- 8 p.m., set a rule that there are no smart phones or computers during that time frame.
46 Cherry Creek Lifestyle | November 2015
2. Acceptance. If you have accepted that you’re obsessed with going online, be aware to how often you log on.
3. Commitment. If you’re ready to limit screen time, set up personal goals and stick to them.
4. Mindfulness. Once you’ve set boundaries, be mindful of your emotional state. When you go offline, how do you feel? If you find yourself more agitated and anxious, you might have an addiction.
“It’s nice to note that addictions are conditions," says Dr. Feh-ling. "They have developed in the brain so you have nothing to be ashamed of—don’t be embarrassed. Our brains just develop these things from pressures. We want to extinguish stigma.”
Quiz: This is a good way to start the dialog—it’s not an official diagnosis. If you felt these questions were
positive it might be worth talking to a professional.
1. Do you feel that your time spent on the computer or on your phone is out of control? Have a tough time controlling your time.
Answer: YES or NO2. Do you get annoyed or upset when friends or fam-
ily confront you about this? Answer: YES or NO3. Have you noticed that you are using the Inter-
net or digital media and it has taken over some of your time you’ve invested in other activities in life? Such as spending less time with your kids?
Answer: YES or NO4. Have you attempted to cut down your usage of
internet and find you’re unsuccessful and can’t? Answer: YES or NO5. Do you find yourself obsessing over e-mail, social
media, etc? Answer: YES or NO6. Do you use the Internet or phone to help you cope
with mood or anxiety? Is it a soothing mechanism? Answer: YES or NO7. Do you mainly stay up-to-date with friends and
family online over catching up in-person? Answer: YES or NO
If you answered 4 or more questions positively with YES, then you may want to meet with an expert. You can visit DenverAddictions.com to learn more about Dr. Fehling or visit CeDAR here at UChealth.org/cedar.

Parting Thoughts
dave lehl's picks
1. Kennedy Sunglasses in Tortoise Shell by Boulder’s Zeal Optics - I tend to lose sunglasses
on a weekly basis which means I’ve gone through way more shades than the average bear.
These are without a doubt the best I’ve come across. I keep coming back again and again.
2. Kushiro Leather Jacket by Allsaints - I bought this bad boy back in June when it was
too hot to don, so now that it’s “leather weather,” you’d better believe that I’m wearing
it every chance I get!
3. Parallax Photo Pack by Golden’s Mountainsmith - This is the first photo backpack that
I’ve actually had so much room that I’m left wondering what else I can bring along. Incredibly
rugged, comfortable and doesn’t look ridiculous with tons of unnecessary bells and whistles.
4. 2016 Capita Black Snowboard of Death - My all time favorite do-it-all snowboard.
Absolutely dominates any terrain.
5. Silver and turquoise "Nevada" ring by Denver's Union Studio Metals - Don't be afraid
to run some epic hardware, boys. This local jeweler will make sure that the right ladies take
notice. Or if you're taken and wondering what to get your gal, trust me, she wants one too.
6. Leather motorcycle gloves by Breckenridge’s Abel Brown - Hands down (bad
pun intended) the best motorcycle gloves in the summer, but supple and substantial
enough to operate my camera with in the winter.
7. Tracker Avalanche Transceiver by Boulder's BCA - The one piece of equipment I hope
I never have to use. DO NOT think about venturing into the backcountry without one!
8. Custom leather portfolio satchel by Denver’s Alpine Modern - Because you only
have one chance to make a great first impression with a new client.
