Food Deserts: The Paradoxical Link Between Obesity and Poverty in West Denver\u27s Barnum Park Neighborhood
No full textUrban food deserts exist in several Denver neighborhoods, contributing to increased obesity rates among poor and vulnerable citizens. The author\u27s investigation included an analysis of racial, socioeconomic, and age compositions of two west Denver neighborhoods (Barnum and West Highland) to support the hypothesis that Barnum should be reclassified as a food desert. Barnum meets both low-access and low-income qualifications, as well as low-vehicle access, all of which are within the USDA\u27s requirements. These findings can help the neighborhood petition the USDA to reconsider this neighborhood\u27s food desert status. In fact, this author\u27s research proves that a food desert exists in the Barnum neighborhood, and that the local ethnic grocer does not satisfy the community\u27s affordable, healthy food needs
Factors Affecting Women Leaders in the Denver Group of the Colorado Mountain Club
No full textA study of women leaders in the Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) demonstrated that this group perceived pace as an impediment to leadership growth. This study is an exploratory-quantitative inquiry that assessed the views of 20 of the active women hike leaders in the Denver group.

Although there are more women members of the Denver group, women leaders comprise only 30% of the leadership group The results from this first ever survey of CMC\u27s women leaders provides a knowledge base for CMC and other interested parties. This study clearly demonstrated the need for more research into its topic of women in leadership positions

The Denver Artists Guild: its founding members: an illustrated history
No full textIn 1928, the newly organized Denver Artists Guild held its inaugural exhibition in downtown Denver. Little did the participants realize that their initial effort would survive the Great Depression and World War II--and then outlive all of the group's fifty-two charter members. The guild's founders worked in many media and pursued a variety of styles. In addition to the oils and watercolors one would expect were masterful pastels by Elsie Haddon Haynes, photographs by Laura Gilpin, sculpture by Gladys Caldwell Fisher and Arnold Rönnebeck, ceramics by Anne Van Briggle Ritter and Paul St. Gaudens, and collages by Pansy Stockton. Styles included realism, impressionism, regionalism, surrealism, and abstraction. Murals by Allen True, Vance Kirkland, John E. Thompson, Louise Ronnebeck, and others graced public and private buildings--secular and religious--in Colorado and throughout the United States. The guild's artists didn't just contribute to the fine and decorative arts of Colorado; they enhanced the national reputation of the state. Then, in 1948, the Denver Artists Guild became the stage for a great public debate pitting traditional against modern. The twenty-year-old guild split apart as modernists bolted to form their own group, the Fifteen Colorado Artists. It was a seminal moment: some of the guild's artists became great modernists, while others remained great traditionalists. Enhanced by period photographs and reproductions of the founding members' works, The Denver Artists Guild chronicles a vibrant yet overlooked chapter of Colorado's cultural history. The book includes a walking tour of guild members' paintings and sculptures viewable in Denver and elsewhere in Colorado, by Leah Naess and author Stan Cuba. In honor of the book's release, the Byers-Evans House Gallery will showcase a collection of founding guild members' works starting June 26, 2015. The exhibit, also titled The Denver Artists Guild: Its Founding Members, contains paintings from artists such as the famed Paschal Quackenbush, Louise Ronnebeck, Albert Byron Olson, Elisabeth Spalding, Waldo Love and Vance Kirkland. The show will be on display through September 26, 2015.Foreword / Hugh Grant -- Supporters -- Introduction and acknowledgments / Cynthia Durham Jennings -- The Denver Artists Guild: Its founding, activities, and legacy -- Notes -- Founding members' biographies / Stan Cuba -- Self-guided art tour / Stan Cuba, Cynthia Durham Jennings, Dean Lovett, and Leah Naess
The Buddhist Church in New Denver:
No full textThe Buddhist Church in New Denver was founded in 1943, by Sensuki Mori, Saburo Okada, and Tokimi Kiyono. It was built among the small shacks that housed the Japanese people living in an [interment] camp just outside of New Denver, a small village in the West Kootenay Mountains. The area chosen for this security camp was once filled with fruit trees, hence the name of this section of town, the 'Orchard'.Student paper submitted for Anthropology 101
