And so the seeds of this “Time to Go: Art Friday, Sept. 22 | 5 - 8 pm See page 13 Exhibit” were sown. Sat., Sept. 23 | 10 am - 4 pm Fast forward to 2017, the concept of “time to go” has taken on a different connotation.

This “Time To Go” exhibit encompasses over 100 paintings. The Art Students League of Denver, Deep Space Gallery, City of Parker workshops, and the 40West Arts District provided wonderful opportunities to exhibit and sell my artwork. Two paintings were included in exhibitions in Nagasaki. Most paintings are abstract and show several different styles that have evolved. But I can’t take all these paintings with me. While it’s soon time to go, it’s also time to let go.

Fun to hear the kids trying to pronounce it, as the adults struggled with it, too. Long time canyon resident and parent of two, Thomas Drouillard II, explained in simple terms for the kids, that Syzygy is an astronomy term meaning a straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies (such as the Sun, Moon, and Earth) in a gravitational system. This and a plethora of eclipse related information, as well as emphasis on safety precautions was presented before the celestial event took place. With some children inside viewing a live feed and others outside on the wonderful new baseball field, the oohs and ahhs where heard as the clouds parted frequently enough to give an awesome view of the eclipse!

Internal Motivation forget how much food is a good amount. They become too engrossed in the control patterns to pay attention to their own by Linda Martin, Director, Wee Creekers hypothalamuses! Here is an old article from 2011. I hope you enjoy it! There are different kinds of motivation out there and parents I see all kinds of kids in my profession. I see kids who often run the gamut when it comes to raising children. can put their snow gear on at the ripe old age of 2! I’ve seen Historically we have tried gentle persuasion, yelling, bribery, babies who could feed themselves yogurt with only minimal natural consequences, humiliation, peer pressure, threats, and loss to the high chair tray. I’ve seen 3 year olds pull out even physical harm. Some tactics work better on different a toy, play with it for a while, and then put it back before personalities, some work some of the time. Some are short moving on to something new. I’ve seen 6 year olds stop term winners with long term damage, while others are less to make sure their friend was okay after a mishap that they quick-acting but tend to last a lifetime. It seems to me that may or may not have been involved in. I’ve seen 10 year the best kind of motivation for a child is internal motivation. olds take an interest in leading a group in a craft project.

They were internally motivated. They saw the throughout life than a child who is forced to produce projects task as having something in it for them. They weren’t just against their better judgment.

Sure we can encourage he was 3. This turned into habit and it wasn’t until age 5 them to try a bit of this or that but when we force them to that I entrusted this task to him, only to find he was lacking “eat it all”, we are actually creating more problems than certain skills to do so.

14 © September 2017 Mountain Messenger cccmountainmessenger.com “Time To Go” - An Art Exhibit & Sale Of the Works of Mia Tarolli Pryce Time To Go: Friday & Saturday, September 22-23, 2017
By Mia Pryce An Art Exhibit & Sale
In 2012, if you asked me what I meant by “time to go” of the works of I would have been thinking “how much time do I have to go before I kick the bucket?” Mia Tarolli Pryce I had just turned sixty in 2012, and I was eyeing retirement. But I thought “what if I have 40 years left to live?” That was enough time to pursue what I really love: painting. While I had spent 25 years as a graphic artist designing for others, I realized I wanted to create for myself. And so the seeds of this “Time to Go: Art Friday, Sept. 22 | 5 - 8 pm Exhibit” were sown. Sat., Sept. 23 | 10 am - 4 pm Fast forward to 2017, the concept of “time to go” has taken on a different connotation. Today it means “it’s 1720 Gross Dam Road time to leave … time to move on.” After 34 wonderful Coal Creek Canyon years in Coal Creek Canyon, we are preparing for an exciting new life in the heart of Denver. So in a way, this exhibit feels like a farewell to the Canyon for me. Refreshments served. Old times shared. New beginnings welcomed. For those of you who know me ... [maybe from the 1980s babysitting co-op, or as a CCCIA volunteer, or as a graphic artist with Riva Design, or as a Saws & Slaws volunteer feeding the chipping machine, or one of the crazies who dared to envision and create the CCC Park & Rec District, or as Doug Pryce’s better half, or as Adam Pryce’s lucky mom] .... 2012 signaled a rebirth for me as I grew in the art world as an abstract artist. This “Time To Go” exhibit encompasses over 100 paintings. The Art Students League of Denver, Deep Space Gallery, City of Parker workshops, and the 40West Arts District provided wonderful opportunities to exhibit and sell my artwork. Two paintings were included in exhibitions in Nagasaki. Most paintings are abstract and show several different styles that have evolved. But I can’t take all these paintings with me. While it’s soon time to go, it’s also time to let go. So I hope you will stop by: Friday, September 22, 5 - 8 pm Saturday, September 23, 10 am - 4 pm 1720 Gross Dam Road, Coal Creek Canyon Refreshments served. Old times shared. New beginnings welcomed.

This way they will be internally motivated. to learn for themselves. If we take the time to wipe our dear Try watching your child fail and trust them to figure it out one’s nose every time it needs it, we believe we are sending for themselves. The outcome may surprise you. Good luck! the message that a clean nose is important to us. But instead And Happy and Healthy children to you! we find ourselves with an older child who never wipes their nose! They have never had to, you see. We instead helped them to learn not to wipe their nose! If we always clean up after our children, again we hope to send a particular message, only to find out that they never clean up after themselves. Children need to be able to figure some of this stuff out on their own. Children who have experienced a truly messy room are much more likely to appreciate a clean one. Children who have forgotten their mittens one day are likely to remember them the next. If we come to the rescue and drop their mittens off at school, we have just made it okay to forget their mittens. One day of cold hands will actually go farther.

Just want to remind you and myself of choices we have to make our lives the best lives they can be. I know that in Lower Coal Creek Canyon! is an OPRAH quote but I strongly believe in it too!! By Jackie Daoust, CCCWP Watershed Program Assistant As do many of my favorite people locally, like my sisters in Coal Creek Canyon Watershed Partnership (CCCWP) is Arvada and Eugene, OR, my friend in Kiowa, Lori D, Joyce excited to announce the completion of our Emergency C., Thelma, my chemo friend, who I always say is the best Watershed Protection (EWP) Stream Restoration project thing I got from CA treatment 4 years ago. I am blessed to along Highway 72! be surrounded by others who understand we are each one person, one mind but we are part of a whole. It is important to keep our part of the whole as healthy as we can. It is part of growing up in a world that has become CHAOS. Since last month I started re-reading Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock. It was written in early 70’s. As I have mentioned before: I feel it’s main premise is the mass mental illness that would overcome us, the USA, and the world by the end of the 1900’s: the 90’s. And again: we have seen this come to pass. Here I sit in one of the MOST beautiful places in the world to my way of prejudicial thinking :) Luckily with folks around who share my feelings of trying to do the best we can with the lives we have. Remember: we make the choices that shape our futures. We also have the capacity to change those CCCWP prioritized projects in the watershed based on choices, and deal with that changing to our own betterment Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) criteria and and the betterment of those we care about and want to help using our Watershed Restoration Master Plan and ranked the SURVIVE THE CHAOS. area along Highway 72 from Mile Marker 14.4 to 15.8 as one Listen to that mind you have, indeed. But also consider of the top priorities. that our minds are capable of many fantastic things. Keep CCCWP worked to secure grant funding and was awarded feeding your body and brain with the stuff that makes it a total of $1,176,000 from a combination of the NRCS, the healthy and whole. Try not to be selfish, or angry or hateful: Colorado Water Conservation Board, and the Community any of the emotions that deter from happy living. Actually Development Block Grants for Disaster Recovery. CCCWP try to communicate in a civil manner with your friends, hired contractors Frontier Environmental, Inc. and Olsson family, and others.

Preparedness Month, sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA. Through its Ready Campaign, FEMA educates and empowers Americans to take simple steps to prepare for and respond to potential emergencies that could affect us where we live, work and also visit.
This year’s theme, Disasters Don’t Plan Ahead. You Can, focuses on encouraging people to take action and prepare. The campaign goal is to increase the overall number of individuals, families and communities that engage in preparedness actions at home, work, businesses, school and places of worship.
It’s important to think about an emergency communication plan focusing on how your family will get emergency alerts and warnings, how your family will get to safe locations, how your family will get in touch if cell phones, internet and land lines don’t work and how families will get to a meeting place after the emergency. It’s important to also keep in mind any unique needs of family members, friends and neighbors
