Raising the Bar

By Mary Peck

If you feel like you’re seeing more and more varieties and brands of bar soap in the marketplace these days, you’re not wrong. Bar soap’s comeback has been underway for a few years now, and for good reason. It’s about more than nostalgia; bar soap has some very practical advantages, from overall value to environmental benefits.

Because bar soap is more concentrated than waterbased liquid soap, it’s easy to use less and it lasts longer. Triple-milled soap is exceptionally dense, with an even longer lifespan. Bar soaps typically come in minimal (if any) paper or cardboard packaging, and since bars are lighter than liquid soap, fewer resources are needed to transport them.

All-natural bar soaps, specifically, are in higher demand by consumers seeking products with simple, clean ingredients. According to the Handcrafted Soap & Cosmetic Guild, handmade bar soaps are created with minimal ingredients and rarely have added preservatives or parabens.

And the old theory that bar soap transfers germs? It’s been discredited through multiple scientific experiments. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the Mayo Clinic both recommend handwashing with bar and liquid soap equally as the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs.

With so many benefits, bar soap’s renaissance may be here to stay. Its uses are growing too: There are special bar soaps for babies, face, hair, laundry, and more. Plenty of online product reviews — or better yet, a visit to a local Colorado soap boutique — can help you find the best option for you.

BAR SOAP USES AND TIPS

• Before hitting the dirt, rub dry bar soap under your fingernails to make cleaning after gardening a snap.

• Use a soap dish with drainage or place a silicone soap saver mat in the dish to help the bar stay dry and last longer.

• When a bar is down to a small sliver, stick it to your next full new bar when both are wet for zero waste.

• Slice a bar into smaller pieces for travel, sharing, or smaller needs.

• Pack it up. Bar soap travels well — no spilling or worry about meeting TSA volume limits.

• Place in the bottom of a shaving cup and add water to form a creamy lather.

• Try soap on a rope to free up space and secure the bar in the shower or bath.

Efficiency Matters for Comfort

By Miranda Boutelle

Did you know energy efficiency upgrades not only help you save energy but can make your home more comfortable, too? If you find yourself continually returning to the thermostat on cold winter days or unable to find relief from heat on summer days, these are signs your home needs an efficiency upgrade.

No matter the home, energy efficiency upgrades often start with the same basic principle: Keep outside air from coming inside and keep conditioned inside air from leaking out. Insulation, air sealing, duct sealing, and upgrades for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning can dramatically improve the comfort of your home.

A fully insulated home, including attic, walls, and floors, is more comfortable. Air sealing is a lesserknown efficiency upgrade that keeps air from entering and exiting the home through cracks and gaps. Some air sealing can be done from inside the home, such as using expanding foam around plumbing pipes and drains under sinks, adding gaskets to outlets on exterior walls, caulking around windows, or weatherstripping around doors.

Attics and crawl spaces offer additional opportunities to reduce air leakage and increase comfort. In the attic, sealing gaps around top plates, open soffit areas, cove ceilings, and balloon framing can help keep conditioned air where it belongs. In the basement or crawl space, seal around plumbing pipes and drains, vents, and electrical wires. If you need help, contact a local contractor.

As a self-proclaimed energy geek, you probably aren’t surprised that my first efficiency effort when my husband and I bought our first home years ago was to air seal and insulate. We sealed and insulated the attic, walls, and rim joists in the basement. The difference in comfort was instant. Our house felt cozier and much

more comfortable. The temperature swings from the furnace cycling on and off were dramatically reduced. The home felt warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Duct sealing can also improve the comfort of your home. Your ductwork delivers heated or cooled air in a forced-air HVAC system. If there are disconnections or leaks in the ducts, the air you paid to heat or cool may not end up where you want it. Disconnects and leaks can cause hot or cold spots in the home. An HVAC professional can inspect or test your ducts to make sure they are connected and sealed properly.

Air sealing and duct sealing can also improve the air quality in your home. Air leakage between the conditioned area of the home and the attic or crawl space can introduce dust, pollen, mold, or other allergens you don’t want to breathe. Reducing air leakage can reduce the chance of these things circulating throughout your home.

Upgrading to a heat pump can also boost comfort and efficiency. Heat pump technology is often about three times as efficient as electric resistance heat because it uses refrigerant to move heat instead of creating it. If you’re upgrading from electric or gas heat, a heat pump can efficiently heat and cool your home, making it comfortable year-round.

If you already have a heat pump or any forced-air HVAC system, annual maintenance and regularly changing your filter maximizes system operation and comfort.

Consider improving your home’s comfort by completing these energy efficiency upgrades. Your family — and energy bills — will thank you.

Giving Space

Saved historic churches still serve Colorado’s rural communities

By Suzie Romig

When Salida resident Sheree Beddingfield walked into the historic church building in her small town on a Wednesday winter evening and saw a large audience listening to a talented Celtic band, she thought, “My cup is so full.”

That’s because Beddingfield experienced her hard-won passion project in vibrant action bringing together all types of people in the friendly mountain community to enjoy an affordable and quality performance.

Joyful, upbeat Irish music filled the listening room at A Church — a former Baptist church built in 1885 — as three fiddlers led the ensemble. Some 130 audience members enjoyed the enveloping sounds, while a 5-year-old girl danced in the aisle.

“People will tell me, ‘This is the only place I go to do something social.’ I just think that’s so valuable,” Beddingfield said. “I truly believe people are needing connection and ways to find meaning right now.”

In a town with a population of approximately 6,100, “there’s nowhere else they were going to go” on a weekday evening, Beddingfield said. She enthusiastically pointed to a Sunday night Salida Poetry Spring Equinox gathering in March that drew 120 people.

“There’s not really this [other] community space where a lot of different types of people get together,” Beddingfield noted. “We are providing all of this connection for seniors and young people. They feel comfortable because it is accessible, safe, and friendly.”

A Church board member Rick White said the transformation from an empty church building to a lively community hub and performance space serves a trio of purposes — saving a beautiful historic building, providing a community benefit, and giving artists a place to play.

“It’s a lovely facility,” White said. “We are all very proud of it, and it takes a lot of individuals’ efforts to put this together.”

Work on the old church building started gradually after Beddingfield, a physician assistant specializing in dermatology, purchased the historic location in 2016. The church congregation had moved out and into a larger location in Salida. Beddingfield’s original thought was to section the building into group living spaces for older adults.

Yet, after the first few successful events hosted in the space, a vision of a community-centered facility blossomed.

“I had always had this interest in aging well care, and I just see a lot of people become very isolated and lonely,” Beddingfield said. “But the space totally transformed because we had a communitywide New Year’s Eve gathering. We just had this super fun night, and everybody was like, ‘Oh, my gosh, we need a community space.’”

“About a week later, we lost a really good friend in an unfortunate ski accident, and we had his memorial service there,” Beddingfield remembered of January 2017. “And again, it was just this message of our community needs this space to get together.”

Beddingfield’s former husband who works in construction spent two years on repairs and remodeling the old church, including adding sufficient restrooms, redoing floors, and adding accessible ramps.

A Church has since bloomed and hosted hundreds of events such as eclectic concerts, theater rehearsals and shows, crafting circles, game nights for teenagers, sound meditations, healing circles, parties, weddings, meetings, speakers, comedians, author talks, poetry nights, and open mic nights. More information about the venue and offerings can be found online at AChurchSalida.org.

The mission of A Church is to work to promote connection and provide an open space for nonprofit organizations, civic groups, and individuals working for positive change. In November 2024, A Church became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to pursue more grants to help even more community nonprofit groups use the space, said Andrea Mossman, manager at A Church.

Often the churches were symbols of communities, and so there’s an opportunity for that to continue to be the case. We want these buildings to continue to live and be vibrant spaces, that everyone in the community can gather and have these as symbols of communities.”

— Damion Pechota, History Colorado

“Especially in rural towns, you really need support for the arts,” said Mossman, a 20-year Salida resident, musician, dancer, actress, and self-described “theater rat.” Mossman said A Church, with its stained-glass windows and sense of history, “just feels very nurturing.”

“It’s a really nice place to perform. It has a great feel,” Mossman said. “We get a lot of people referred to us by other musicians who have come through.”

In fall 2025, the volunteer-led Salida Theater Project became the first resident theater company at A Church.

“It does feel like without A Church we would be without a home,” said Devon Kasper, the theater project’s artistic and executive director. “We are so lucky to have this space in our little town and the kind of music that comes through.”

According to History Colorado, A Church at 419 D St. was originally the First Baptist Church of Salida, and construction of the Late Gothic Revival church began in 1885. The First Baptist Church is significant in the temperance and women’s suffrage movements, and the church was approved for the National Register of Historic Places in 2024.

“The church is where the local chapter of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union formed and held regular meetings in the 1880s and where local suffrage activities

were held as part of an ambitious statewide campaign to enable women’s right to vote through a popular referendum in 1893,” according to History Colorado.

Damion Pechota, senior national and state register historian at History Colorado, said dozens of historic churches in small towns across Colorado have been transformed from empty or storage spaces into valued centers for community uses. The concept is a throwback to a time when churches in small communities often served multiple purposes as a town gathering place, Pechota said.

“Often the churches were symbols of communities, and so there’s an opportunity for that to continue to be the case,” Pechota said. “We want these buildings to continue to live and be vibrant spaces, that everyone in the community can gather and have these as symbols of communities.”

Colorado is home to many wonderful churches in rural areas, the historian noted, yet multiple old churches have been turned into family homes or are only sitting used as storage buildings.

Pechota said History Colorado helps to preserve historic buildings but also focuses on peoplecentered programs.

“Having them as community spaces is really the goal that we’re working toward, and what we really want to see is these buildings be used in new ways,” Pechota said. “I think the greatest benefit is that it keeps the historic building and the historic stories alive. It’s important because of the people who came before us, and so it keeps those stories alive.”

As a state government agency, History Colorado

offers multiple programs such as the State Historical Fund to help groups preserve historic churches and buildings. That fund awarded approximately $12 million in competitive grants during 2025. The funding aims to identify and complete essential statewide preservation projects that benefit Colorado’s communities, cultures, economies, and the environment.

Other helpful programs, with information available via HistoryColorado.org, include National and State Registers, preservation tax credits, and Colorado Heritage for All.

“The buildings come with challenges, and the state is here to help support those challenges, whether through funding opportunities or just through support or getting the word out,” Pechota noted.

Across Colorado, from Alamosa to Fraser to Manitou Springs, shuttered former churches have been converted to community centers to give the sacred spaces new life, preserve the beautiful old buildings, and provide needed spaces and services in small towns.

The former Christian Science Society building in Alamosa, built in 1922, was saved by passionate citizens. A group of like-minded individuals in the city of some 9,950 people banded together to acquire the building and create the nonprofit Society Hall Foundation in summer 2015. The auditorium has since hosted a wide variety of events including concerts, plays, workshops, weddings, memorial services, meetings, and film festivals.

“We have tremendous community support; it’s awesome,” said Ruthie Brown, a member of the all-volunteer Society Hall board.

The renovated space in Alamosa, with a schedule online at SocietyHall.org, frequently hosts musical performances featuring folk, roots, country, acoustic, Americana, and singer-songwriters.

“It never fails to amaze me the level of entertainment that comes through our beautiful little listening room here out on the wild frontier,” noted the Soci-

ety Hall newsletter from March, “And the performers love it. Virtually everyone says how much they love the room, and the people who come out to be there.”

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church that was founded in 1870 in Manitou Springs, a town of about 4,800 people, is now St. Andrew’s Community Center. The goal of the center is to become a “place of connection, compassion, and collaboration, where volunteers can engage deeply, hear new stories, take on meaningful challenges, and stay hopeful about our shared future,” according to the community center’s website at StaccManitou.com

Back in Salida, out-of-town visitors who happen upon one of the varied, entertaining concerts at A Church — including Appalachian, Balkan, and Venezuelan music — will find a comfortable, welcoming, and uncrowded environment. Guests may encounter a sociable local music promoter with his friendly dog on hand for the show, and listeners can give a donation for a bubbly cold drink in the refreshment cove in the back of the former chapel.

Although the board of A Church hopes to secure more grants, including for a much-needed new boiler, the nonprofit organization currently is supported through memberships, business sponsors, and rent from four affordable housing apartments in the basement. Admission to performances stays affordable, on average at $25.

As the chief benefactor for A Church, Beddingfield is proud of her contribution to creating a community space where people come together to find connection instead of staying at home and watching television.

“Without this being her passion project, I’m not sure it would work,” board member White noted.

“She has a very strong commitment for the events that happen there and how healthful they are for us as a community.”

Beddingfield laughed when she talked about her life living in the small town while supporting A Church.

“I drive a crappy car. I live in a small house, but I have a great life,” Beddingfield said with a chuckle. “I like to ride my bike. I get my clothes at a thrift store. I’m happy.”

“It feels good to have created something that I feel impacts people’s lives in a really positive way,” she said. “It’s inclusive for everybody. My vision was if you have something cool to share with the community, bring it here; we will give you space.”

Understanding NERC, the Watchdog For a Reliable Electric Grid

By Cathy Cash NRECA

The country’s electric grid with its hundreds of thousands of miles of high-voltage transmission power lines might seem impossible to maintain and watch over. Given its size, it is amazing that 99.9% of the time when you flip a switch, the lights come on.

Who has the task of overseeing this complex web?

Thankfully, we have the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, the official watchdog of the North American bulk power system. The international nonprofit known as NERC sets mandatory reliability standards for all users, owners, and operators of the electric transmission system.

To maintain reliability, NERC oversees and evaluates grid conditions with support from six regional reliability organizations that serve as its on-the-ground partners in identifying potential problem areas. Each summer and winter, NERC releases seasonal grid assessments that evaluate whether electricity supply is sufficient to meet expected demand and highlight regions at risk of shortfalls.

These periodic reports analyze conditions that can increase demand, such as heat waves and severe cold, as well as factors that can constrain generation, including fuel or equipment shortages. They also include recommendations to address current risks and help prevent future problems. When unforeseen threats emerge, NERC issues special assessments as needed.

Every year the organization also provides a long-term grid assessment looking ahead 10 years at what innovations or circumstances may impact the reliability of our interconnected electric energy transmission network.

Providing the electric power industry with timely insight into grid reliability, potential power shortfalls, and strategies to address them is essential to keeping the lights on.

NERC holds workshops and technical conferences and trains industry personnel on how to maintain a secure grid. It also audits owners and operators of the bulk power system to ensure they meet all reliability standards.

NERC operates the 24/7 Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC) that provides the power industry with

the latest information on cyber threats, trends, and possible solutions with alerts and advisories. E-ISAC develops and executes GridEx, the largest cyber and physical grid security exercise in North America.

NERC has come a long way from its humble beginning as an industry-led grid watchdog in response to the big Northeast blackout of 1965 that impacted 30 million people. Originally set up as a voluntary entity to better coordinate grid dynamics, today, NERC is the nation’s Electric Reliability Organization that oversees the operation and planning of the grid throughout North America. Empowered by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, NERC develops mandatory, enforceable reliability standards backed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Utilities like Colorado’s electric cooperatives, for the most part, are not regulated by NERC. State agencies oversee the distribution power lines that deliver electricity to your home and surrounding communities. But NERC’s authority over the bulk power system that delivers energy across state lines is critical to maintaining reliability in every part of the country, including the most rural areas.

Electric cooperatives that participate in NERC activities advocate for regulations that enable co-ops to plan, maintain, and operate a reliable grid.

So how does NERC impact you as a member of an electric cooperative?

NERC helps ensure the electric grid remains reliable, secure, and resilient for the millions of people who depend on it every day. By developing and enforcing reliability standards, monitoring the bulk power system, and identifying emerging risks, NERC plays a critical role in supporting the safe delivery of electricity across North America.

For electric co-op communities, the work that NERC conducts means greater confidence that homes, schools, farms, and businesses will have reliable power around the clock.

Hi Kids! I’m Cooper the Cooperative Bear!

I’m here to help kids like you learn about electricity and how to stay safe. During a bad storm, my power went out and my whole house went dark. Later I saw lineworkers from my electric cooperative hike into the forest to repair the power line. They were so brave. Then the lights came back on!

Did you know you’re part of an electric co-op, too?

An electric cooperative makes sure power gets to all of our houses safely and whenever we need it. It’s basically a group of people who work together to keep the lights on in our neighborhoods and our communities where we live and play.

My electric co-op taught me ways to stay safe in the kitchen when I’m cooking with my parents. Here is one of my favorite recipes. If you promise to listen, they might even let you use the electric mixer, too!

Bluebeary Swirl Pudding Pops

MAKES 8

Ingredients

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 box vanilla instant pudding mix (3.4 oz)

1 tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/3 cup blueberry preserves

1 cup fresh blueberries (optional)

supplies

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together whole milk, heavy cream, pudding mix, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until it begins to thicken. Let sit for 5 minutes — it should be pourable but not fully set.

2. Place pop molds on a baking sheet. Pour a layer of vanilla pudding into each pop mold, filling about halfway. Add a generous spoonful of blueberry preserves on top. Fill with remaining pudding to just below the rim, then add one more small spoonful of blueberry preserves on top. Use a thin skewer or toothpick to drag through each mold once or twice to create a swirl. (Optional: add a few fresh blueberries into each mold.)

3. Tap molds gently on the counter to release any air bubbles. Insert sticks. Freeze until completely solid, at least 4-5 hours or overnight.

4. Before enjoying, let the ice pops sit at room temperature for a few minutes until they are easy to release from the mold. Serve immediately or wrap individually in parchment paper and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 weeks.

Sacred Stone of the Southwest is on the Brink of Extinction

Centuries ago, Persians, Tibetans and Mayans considered turquoise a gemstone of the heavens, believing the striking blue stones were sacred pieces of sky. Today, the rarest and most valuable turquoise is found in the American Southwest–– but the future of the blue beauty is unclear.

On a recent trip to Tucson, we spoke with fourth generation turquoise traders who explained that less than five percent of turquoise mined worldwide can be set into jewelry and only about twenty mines in the Southwest supply gem-quality turquoise. Once a thriving industry, many Southwest mines have run dry and are now closed.

We found a limited supply of turquoise from Arizona and purchased it for our Sedona Turquoise Collection . Inspired by the work of those ancient craftsmen and designed to showcase the exceptional blue stone, each stabilized vibrant cabochon features a unique, one-of-a-kind matrix surrounded in Bali metalwork.
