 Scout Troop 5’s centennial to mark 100 years

Wayne Armstrong
‘by the book’
It isn’t a coincidence that the neckerchiefs of Boy Scout Troop 5 are crimson
and gold, their logo sports a covered wagon and their nickname is the Pioneers.
DU faculty and staffers helped form Troop 5 back in 1910, and the troop has
met in University Hall or the United Methodist Church across South University
Boulevard ever since.
A century later, Troop 5’s members are still camping in the snow, hiking
14ers, rafting rivers, building campfires, learning to cook, working a compass,
playing games, singing songs, walking old ladies across the street and earning
merit badges by the hundreds.
They recently celebrated something even more special: the troop’s 100th
birthday.
“We’re the oldest continually operating troop west of the Mississippi,” says
Scoutmaster Scott Dory, a former Eagle Scout from Colorado Springs, Colo.
Troops elsewhere in the West also claim centennial status this year, with little
absolute proof as to which troop is older, he says. Still, Troop 5 celebrated on
Sept. 11. “We’re all about the same age,” Dory says, noting that the uncertainty
is because Scouting began as a movement, not an organization. Scouting for Boys
was written in 1908 by Robert Baden-Powell as training tips for existing groups.

It was released in six parts in Britain and became an instant hit, spawning Scout pole

 Alums take on Hollywood with their own independent feature
As a DU student, Mardana Mayginnes traveled the so-called
“loneliest road in America” — the Nevada stretch of U.S. 50 between
California and Utah — several times each year as he drove back and
forth between campus and his home in northern California.
After graduation, when Mayginnes (BA English ’06) and his college
buddy Colin Michael Day (BA theater ’06) moved to Hollywood and
decided to make their own feature film, Mayginnes already had their
location in mind.
“I used to drive this [road] to school every year, and I would always
encounter random things that just blew my mind,” he says. “One of the
towns has 1,000 people in it, but 20 years ago it had 15,000 to 20,000
people because there was an active mine. When that shut down all the
people had to move, so it’s like a modern-day ghost town.”
Mayginnes and Day had moved to Hollywood in 2006 to begin
their careers in show business. Mayginnes got a job at a commercial DU alum Colin Michael Day (left) stars in The Loneliest Road in America, an
production house, where he met a host of people who had come to independent drama scripted and directed by his friend and fellow alum Mardana
Mayginnes.
Hollywood to make their own films but had gotten sidetracked by the
daily grind.
“In L.A. everyone wants to make a movie, but they don’t,” Mayginnes says.
The pair decided to try to beat the odds and make their own independent feature. Scripted and directed by Mayginnes and starring Day, The Loneliest
Road in America took a month to shoot and four months to edit, at a total cost of around $100,000. It was shot on location in Colorado, Nevada and
California.
The film started making the festival rounds in March 2010, taking a bronze medal at the Park City Film & Music Festival and nabbing screenings at
L.A.’s Method Fest, Florida’s Delray Beach Film Festival and the Reno Film Festival, among others.
“It’s done everything for me,” Mayginnes says of the film. “I get lots of jobs in the commercial world because of it, and once my next feature is ready
to go I’ll be able to get funding, no doubt about it. And I’ll get actors as well. They’ll be down because they know I can do it.”

Social network Foursquare not for squares

Take a walk around the University of Denver and you’ll see signs everywhere pointing out places to
study, info on fitness memberships and even a special on ice cream.
Of course, the signs are invisible to the naked eye. Savvy travelers need a WiFi-connected device or
a smart phone with GPS and the Foursquare application. Turn on, tune in and join the conversation.
Foursquare is one of the social media apps changing the media landscape. Instead of depending on
professional reporters to alert others to a good deal or a fine restaurant, social media users turn to each
other. Yelp and TripAdvisor, for example, create giant databases of user-generated comments and reviews.
Foursquare — with about 3 million users — does that, too. But instead of requiring a user to sit down at
a computer and type in a location or desired service, Foursquare lets users turn on the application and see
what’s around them based on their location.
Chase Squires

Foursquare users walking the DU campus can check in at the Penrose Library. Once there, “tips”
section user Joseph K. (users are only identified by a first name and an initial) suggests checking out the
extensive DVD collection.
Foursquare users can “check in” at marked locations, indicating to friends where they are or have been, and then upload those check-ins to other
social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Check in enough at one site and become the “mayor” of that location.
Users around campus suggest light rail as the best route to the Ritchie Center, discuss alternate memberships for swimmers who want to use the El
Pomar Natatorium without a full fitness center membership, and recommend the excellent spicy chicken bowl deal at the Tokyo Bowl restaurant. If spicy
chicken doesn’t sound good, Paul D. suggests the chicken kabob sandwich at Pete’s University Park Café up the street.
And there are deals for Foursquare users only. At the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream store near campus, users can check in and unlock a secret discount,
a buy-one-get-one cone deal. The mayor of Ben and Jerry’s gets a free extra scoop to boot.
And then there’s always school work.
“Need a quick place to stop and do some brief work?” asks Peter R. “Check the second-story alcove overlooking the commons and hang out with
the flags.”

Fashion forward
Colorado inspires student’s clothing line

E rin Bleakley wants women to show off their inner beauty

Wayne Armstrong
by expressing it on the outside. “It’s about making
people feel confident,” Bleakley says of the aim of her self-
made fashion label, Erin Kathleen Couture.
The 21-year-old University of Denver senior says
confidence was something she, like many women, had to
learn. Now, you’ll see her strut across campus in vibrant
colors, textured patterns and high, high heels.
“Everywhere I go, people stare,” she admits. But that’s
OK with her. In fact, it gives her a chance to tell people about
her clothing line. That’s how she got the idea to start her line
in the first place.
“A lot of people would ask where I got my clothes,
and I’d tell them I made it,” she says. “So then I started
making dresses for formals, and I started making a 16-piece
collection, and people started to buy them.”
Now she’s completed the fourth collection for her line.
She sells the clothes online at www.erinkathleencouture.com
as well as in a handful of boutiques in Colorado and Texas.
Bleakley says she had trouble finding well-fitting and
flattering clothes for her thin, yet athletic, build. So she
simply started making her own, and later formed Erin
Kathleen Couture in 2008. She had financial backing from
her father, but her parents still had their doubts.
“They thought every girl wants to be a fashion designer,”
Bleakley says. “They asked me how I was going to set myself
apart.”
She knew a little hard work and optimism wouldn’t
hurt. “I have an idea for what people like and what looks
good,” she says. “It took off from there.”
Her line — which targets mostly 17–35-year-olds —
was envisioned as consisting of “conservative pieces that are
really cute and stand out but have a certain sexiness about
them.” She thinks about what she would wear and that’s
what she designs. Think faux fur vests, tunics, leggings and
patterned jackets; all items run under $100.
The items are what Bleakley calls young, alluring and
flirty. Some are fitting, some are flow-y and all of them have
color. Her clothes also are one-size-fits-all.
“You don’t believe it until you see it, but a lot of my
pieces have hidden elastic and smocking and one skirt in
particular can fit anything from a [size] zero to a 12 or 14.”
The sizing was her idea, as are all of her designs. She makes a special effort to find unique fabric, she says, and she’s constantly
thinking of new ideas. Her notebooks and binders are filled with sketches; she takes her camera wherever she goes so she can snap shots
of landscape or anything she considers beautiful that may provoke design ideas. She finds Colorado particularly inspirational, she says.
She sends her sketches to two seamstresses who live outside Kansas City, Bleakley’s hometown. They make just a handful of each
design and they almost always sell, Bleakley explains.
After she graduates from DU, Bleakley plans to go to fashion school in Los Angeles to learn more of the basics and the industry and
hopes to work under another designer while still designing herself.
One thing that sets her apart, she says, is her pending undergraduate degree.
“I’m doing the whole college thing — I did go to undergrad, I joined a sorority. I’m getting a business degree. I didn’t just go to
fashion school. I learned the basics first,” she says, “and I think that impresses people.”

 Fast times
Student driving toward a different career

L ots of students leave DU with dreams of careers practicing law

or starting companies or producing Hollywood blockbusters.
Jamie Dick wants to make a career out of turning left.
Dick, a senior real estate and construction management major
from Albuquerque, N.M., says very matter-of-factly that he’d like
to get to paid to race cars — a goal he’s been driving toward since
he was 10 years old. And he hasn’t let off the gas needed to obtain
the goal since enrolling at DU, either.
“I would like to end up with a multi-million dollar contract
with a NASCAR team,” Dick says. “I’d like to race as long as I can.
In a couple of years, if I’m not able to get paid, I’ll have to stop. But
that’s down the road.”
Dick started his racing career on small dirt tracks around
Albuquerque in go-karts and then worked his way up through more
competitive racing series and bigger cars. Although Dick hasn’t
won a race recently, he has been able to string together enough
strong finishes to try out newer and tougher racing series.
Dick currently races in two of the National Association of
Stock Car Auto Racing’s (NASCAR) “minor league” series. During
the 2010 racing season, Dick has driven in NASCAR’s K&N West
series, which is based primarily in the Western United States and
features cars that are slightly smaller than those driven by stars
like Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Tony Stewart. He’ll also compete in the
nationwide Camping World Truck series, which feature souped-up
trucks with lots of horsepower and lots of talent behind the wheel.
Dick’s goal is to compete on NASCAR’s, and perhaps all of racing’s
biggest stage, the Sprint Cup.
“Ever since I showed some promise in go-karts the plan was
to push me ahead,” Dick explains. “Part of the plan was not to stay
in a series too long and get complacent.”
Mike Naake, crew chief and manager of Dick’s racing team,
has been in stock car racing for more than 25 years and says Dick
has the talent to get to racing’s upper echelons. But it’s something
Dick will have to attack with utmost dedication.
“Out of a thousand, only one gets through. It’s a tough sport,”
Naake says from the team shop in Roseville, Calif. “You have to be
in the right place at the right time. And you need off-track skills
to help you attract money.”
In addition to working as the main mechanic for Dick’s

car and training the pit crew, Naake acts as a kind of coach to
the 21-year-old driver. He’s tried to get Dick to become more
aggressive in his driving style. Stay up on the wheel and go fast,
Naake tells Dick, just don’t wreck the car. Naake has even resorted
to a little tomfoolery to drive his point home.
“We’ve told him to get mad and told him that one of the guys is taking his girlfriend out for dinner that night,” Naake recalls with
a laugh.
Right now, Dick is getting a little help from dad when it comes time to pay for a competitive racing team. In return, Jimmy Dick —
a former race driver himself — plasters the side of Jamie’s cars with the colors of Viva Automotive Group, a chain of car dealerships he
owns in El Paso, Texas.

 Gubernatorial candidates make their cases in campus political forum
John Hickenlooper and Dan Maes were quick to discuss the poor state of
Colorado’s economy and high unemployment rates in a candidates’ forum at
the University of Denver on Sept. 14. But the big question was just what they
would do about the issues if elected governor.
“Every single part of the state is upside down,” said Hickenlooper, the
Democratic nominee, during his hour-long session of questions from talk show
host and moderator Aaron Harber. Maes waited offstage while the Denver mayor
addressed his answers to a crowd of roughly 300 people; Maes followed.
Hickenlooper’s ultimate solution to prompt economic recovery is being a
proponent of business.
“We need to change our culture so we can be a magnet for small
businesses,” he said. He added that it’s imperative to work with small business
to uphold ethical and environmental standards.
Wayne Armstrong

Helping businesses grow, he said, means helping them to get started, hire
people and grow more rapidly. “If we can do that, it allows us to focus on some
of the real critical issues that need more attention, like education,” he said.
Maes agreed that small businesses were key to the success of the state but
expressed his desire for a hands-off approach by downsizing state government. Lowering taxes on small businesses would help them thrive and create
more jobs. Eighty percent of the state’s business is small business, Maes said.
Sponsored by the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition and 36 other community advocacy organizations, the forum also emphasized concerns
of people with disabilities.
Around 20 percent of Coloradans have some sort of disability, and fewer than half of those had jobs even when the economy was healthy.
Hickenlooper said he would take on the state’s disability problem as he did Denver’s homelessness problem when he took office in 2003.
Fighting for the homeless to get housing, medication, counseling and job training proved more effective than just treating their physical ailments
at a hospital and then putting them back on the streets, he said. Hickenlooper said as mayor he encouraged smaller businesses, such as cafes, to give
jobs to homeless people.
Maes told the disabled people in the audience that “we need more of a dialogue than an answer.” He said there needs to be less of a tax burden
for them and their care, but also encouraged them to step up.
Maes encouraged them to tell him — and other government officials — exactly what they need, and said he would work to champion those
causes. He also expressed his intent to help fix the “disconnect” between educational and business communities and help all community members —
disabled and otherwise — to find out what skill sets are in demand by employers and what kind of education will give them those skills.
While Hickenlooper referred to his experience as Denver mayor throughout the afternoon, Maes, a political unknown until his nomination in
August, partly used the forum to explain his background and political ideals.
“The fact that I am standing before you today as the Republican nominee for governor states that the American dream is alive and well in the
state of Colorado,” Maes said. “And government should not impede that dream. The government should get out of your way and provide you that
dream. If I can do it, you can do it, too.”
Tom Tancredo, the American Constitution Party candidate, was invited to the forum but was unable to participate due to a previous
commitment.

Ghosts of DU
In celebration of Halloween this month, here are some of the most haunted tales — and buildings — at
the University of Denver, according to historian Phil Goodstein (BA history ’75):
Mary Reed Building and Margery Reed Hall might both be haunted by their namesakes.
Steve Schader

Margery Reed has supposedly been haunting actors for decades in the building that, until recently,
housed DU’s theater program. Students have claimed strange whispering and echoes.
Mary Reed herself has been spotted wandering the hallways of her namesake building. Some have
complained of sudden cold drafts, others say lights turn on and off sporadically. And people may not know
which floor they’ll end up on (or if they will) when in the building’s elevator. Mary Reed may have control
of the building’s lift, which is the oldest working elevator in the state.
Henry Buchtel, who acted as a DU chancellor and Colorado governor, doesn’t seem to like people
throwing parties in his former residence, the historic Buchtel House. Guests say they’ve experienced
cold breezes, thumping noises and slamming doors.
Campus’s old Buchtel Chapel also was most likely haunted — which could be why it mysteriously burned down in the 1980s.
