 Professor revives child near death in Africa
Think you have a good story about your winter

Phil Tedeschi
break? Phil Tedeschi sure does.
Tedeschi, a clinical associate professor in the
University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work,
spent two weeks in December in east Africa as part of
a class he teaches called Social Work in Kenya: Context,
Empowerment, and Sustainability. The class exposes
students to the difficulties in the region and challenges
them to develop ways to support the people there.
The day before the class was to return to the
United States, Tedeschi and students spent a little time
experiencing the beaches of the Indian Ocean.
“There were hundreds of people just lounging and
enjoying the warm waters,” Tedeschi says.
But on this day, the tide was low — low enough
that people could walk several hundred yards into the
ocean. In fact, locals call it “the drowning tide” because
it often forms small but relatively deep pools of water
that are difficult to see.
A few minutes after arriving, a colleague alerted Tedeschi that there had been an accident. Tedeschi noticed a group of men pulling a surf board with
a small boy on it, about 6 years old, face down and not moving.
“I immediately went over to see what was going on. I turned the boy over and his eyes were open and fixed, he wasn’t breathing and he had foam
around his mouth and nose,” Tedeschi says. “But I did notice he had a good heartbeat.”
Tedeschi, who’s trained as a wilderness emergency medical technician, quickly blew a rescue breath into the boy and turned him to the side.
“That’s when he expelled a lot of water, so I put him on his back and gave him another breath and again he expelled more water,” Tedeschi says.
“He had a dazed look for about 30 seconds and then let out a loud scream and began crying. That’s when I knew he was going to be OK.”
Tedeschi says he never saw or met the boy’s parents.
“I don’t think they knew what to do for him. The men who brought the boy to shore were going to claim him as dead,” Tedeschi says.
And more good news: Tedeschi is now communicating with a Kenyan organization he works with as part of the social work class to start emergency
medical and CPR training there.
“I think that’s something that may help,” Tedeschi says.

Dazbog joins coffee competition with new store on South Downing

Competition for the coffee dollar intensified over the holidays when a new Dazbog coffee
shop quietly opened Dec. 27 in the 2400 block of South Downing Street.
The bright, airy bean-and-brew store occupies a one-story office building on the west side of
Downing just north of Porter Adventist Hospital.
“People who come in say they’re finally glad we’re open,” said franchise holder Keith
Darr, a former software consultant and real estate fix-and-flipper. “Most of the people from the
neighborhood love the location.”
So do Dazbog founders Anatoly and Leonid Yuffa, who dropped into the store Jan. 3 to
make sure everything in the shop — the company’s 30th — was perking along properly.
“It’s a great neighborhood store,” Leonid Yuffa says, noting that the shop expects to draw
from the University neighborhood to the east and the Porter Hospital community in addition to the
University of Denver.
Richard Chapman

“I like the appearance and the openness,” Yuffa said. “It has room and a good feel. It’s a good
place to study and hang out.”
There’s free WiFi and Darr added parking in the back for about 11 cars.
In 1996, the Yuffa brothers started Dazbog — which is a greeting that expresses a wish for good fortune — and have expanded the chain to five
states since then. The company sells about a dozen locally roasted specialty and organic coffee blends plus pastries and teas. The new store at 2450 S.
Downing St. will be open daily from 6 a.m.–8 p.m.

High slope
Alumnus runs one of the world’s top ski complexes

A lifelong skier who learned the sport on a tiny ski hill in

Courtesy of Aspen Skiing Co.

Wisconsin, Aspen Skiing Co. CEO and President Mike
Kaplan (MBA ’93) now runs one of the world’s top ski complexes
at four resorts in the Rockies.
Kaplan hopes SkiCo will build on its success in the 2009–10
season, when skier-days grew by 4 percent to 1.4 million. It was
a decent rebound after the dismal 2008–09 season, which saw
attendance drop 7 percent in the depth of the recession.
“Last season was so uncertain,” says Kaplan, 46, who
commutes four miles to the office by bike during the summer
and fall and skis the steeps come winter. “We went in thinking
flat was a win, and we were pleasantly surprised. Consumers
were spending more freely.”
Kaplan hopes to build on that success this season, with a
new hands-free ticket system that operates on a radio frequency,
expanded glade skiing at Aspen Highlands, and a new burger-
themed restaurant at Snowmass.
Gearing up for the 2010–11 season brings him back to
his early days as a high-school ski racer training at Wilmont
Mountain — a Wisconsin ski hill with a vertical elevation of 230
feet. Snowmass touts the biggest vertical elevation change in the
U.S. at 4,406 feet from the base of 8,104 feet to the summit at
12,510 feet.
He set his heart on a career in the ski industry while
ski bumming at New Mexico’s Taos Ski Valley Resort, where
he headed after earning his undergraduate degree from the
University of Colorado. At Taos, he taught skiing, worked the
graveyard shift running the snow guns and learned the science
of avalanche control on the ski patrol.
Needing a stronger foundation in management to make his
next career move, he enrolled at DU’s Daniels College of Business
to earn his MBA.
“I’d come to realize that most managers in the ski industry
back then had come up through the ranks and had gotten on-the-
job training,” recalls Kaplan, who lives in Aspen with his wife,
Laura, and children Emma, 16, Eli, 15, Stella, 13, and Ava, 6. “A
business degree was a good next step.”
At Daniels, Kaplan did case studies on issues in the ski
industry while also taking classes in hospitality and tourism management.
After earning his MBA, he landed a job at Aspen, starting as director of Aspen’s ski school then moved up to operations. By 2005,
he was named chief operating officer, and a year later, he was appointed CEO and president.
Four years later, Kaplan says SkiCo is poised for renewed growth. Health-conscious baby boomers are reaching their 50s and 60s still
in shape, with money to spend, and with legs strong enough to head down a run in a foot of fresh powder. Better mountain grooming
and improved ski technology has also improved the on-mountain experience.
Those years, however, won’t last forever, and Kaplan — like the rest of the ski industry — knows the industry needs to reach out to
the younger generation to get more skiers and snowboarders up on the mountain.
This year, SkiCo’s four areas are among 21 Colorado resorts participating in Colorado Ski Country USA’s Fifth Grade Passport
program, in which fifth-graders receive three days of free skiing at each of the mountains. This year, fifth-graders also receive rental gear
and a lesson on their first day on the slopes.
“Things are good right now, but down the road, we need to replace those baby boomers with Gen X and Gen Y,” says Kaplan. “We
need to build and nurture Gen X, and Gen Y is a different generation. It’s more diverse, and our business is not that diverse. We need to
diversify our customer-base to compete for those vacation dollars.”

Student-athletes give nonprofits an assist

DU’s student-athletes are showing that they’re not only good athletes — they’re good sports, too.
Throughout the year, Pioneers are taking off their gear and taking part in service projects that support a number of service organizations around
Denver and the state of Colorado through the University’s Citizen-Athlete Community Outreach Program.
The program was created to increase efforts and strengthen DU’s connection to the community, says Cindi Nagai, DU’s director of student-
athlete support services, diversity and community relations.
The other goals of the program are to encourage student-athletes to deepen their self-understanding as citizens and role models for their peers;
to create a learning laboratory that provides student-athletes opportunities to acquire skills for civic engagement by learning alongside community
partners; and to empower student-athletes to become agents of positive social change.
Each athletic team is required to do a community service project. On past projects, Pioneers have worked with Habitat for Humanity, the
Children’s Hospital, the 9Health Fair, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The council works in conjunction with Nagai and the Citizen-Athlete Community Outreach Program to coordinate community outreach activities.
The council consists of two representatives from each team.
Student-athletes undertake one large community service project each quarter. The fall quarter project was the 9News Food Drive; the winter
project supported Soles4Souls — an organization that collects new and gently worn shoes and donates them to people in need.

Sophomore
encourages
Denver to
recognize dating
violence
Statistics show one in three women
will experience dating violence at some
point in their lives. For DU sophomore
Jenni Talcott, that wasn’t just a startling
statistic. It was her reality.
“In high school I was involved in a
highly abusive relationship. That year of
abuse turned my world upside down,”
she says.
The criminology and psychology
major from Englewood, Colo., worked
to persuade then-Denver Mayor
(now Colorado Governor) John
Hickenlooper to recognize February as
Dating Violence Awareness Month in
the City and County of Denver.
Talcott says she was upset to learn
that Dating Violence Awareness Month
was recognized by just 22 states, and
that Colorado was not among them.
“I was angered that my own state
neglected to promote such a significant
issue,” she says.
It was through her work with
the Puksta Scholars Program that
Talcott researched the issue and the
proclamation process. Through the
Puksta program, scholarship recipients
participate in a four-year, developmental
civic engagement program that moves
students from volunteerism to systemic
social change work through the
community organizing process.
After she presented her research to
Hickenlooper’s office, Talcott’s request
was granted and she worked with his
staff to draft the official proclamation
language.
“Violence is perceived as a private
problem when it is really a public
epidemic. I want people to acknowledge
dating violence’s prevalence in our
community and be inspired to take
action,” she says. “I never wanted the
violence to define me, but over time it
has empowered me to share my story
and help others.”

History professor writes for New York Times
series on the Civil War
On Oct. 31, 2010, The
Wayne Armstrong
New York Times began an
unusual news series that tracks
the nation’s secession crisis
and ensuing Civil War. The
“Disunion” series follows the
events of the crisis on a daily
basis from several angles.
Susan Schulten, associate
professor of history at DU, was
asked to contribute to the series
by examining the crisis from a
geographic and cartographic
perspective. She is currently
writing a second book about
the rise of thematic mapping
in American history, and from
2008–09 she was a member
of the Abraham Lincoln
Bicentennial Commission in
Colorado.
“I’ve been interested in
Lincoln and the Civil War as
both a researcher and a teacher
for years, and I’ve thought about
the meaning of maps for nearly
two decades,” Schulten says.
“So for me, the convergence
of the two subjects made this a
very tempting offer.”
Schulten’s first piece
ran Nov. 11 and focused on
President Lincoln’s election
victory on Nov. 6, 1860. Her
second story ran Dec. 9 and
focused on a map of slavery
favored by Lincoln. It was
among the 10 most viewed
and e-mailed stories that day.
Because of her expertise in mapping, Schulten plans to write about the geographical dimension
of the crisis, both through old maps from the period and also new maps that illuminate the crisis.
Clay Risen, staff editor and co-editor of the series, says Schulten is a perfect fit for their
project.
Risen says a writer made the original suggestion to follow the events of the Civil War
chronologically. The editorial staff liked the idea and decided they had an opportunity to use
technology to discover new angles to American history and make it accessible to a wide audience.
“No one else has done this before,” Risen says. “The Civil War was one of, if not the turning
point in American history, yet people know very little about it.”
“It never ceases to amaze me that the Civil War continues to be a source of tremendous
interest for Americans,” Schulten says. “I was also fairly surprised at the intensity of the comments
on the pieces we run, which recalls Faulkner’s observation that ‘The past is never dead; it’s not
even past.’”
Schulten’s articles will run about once a month through April 2015.

Ahead of the game
DU professor helps author proposed concussions law

A University of Denver professor spent much of 2010 helping prepare a bill Colorado lawmakers are now considering that addresses
concussions among school-aged athletes.
Kim Gorgens, a clinical assistant professor with the University of Denver Graduate School of Professional Psychology, worked with
physicians, nurses, school officials and leaders of several Colorado organizations to draft a position paper that has now become Senate
Bill 11-040.
“I think what we’ve created is a bill that will make Colorado proud,” says Gorgens, who has spent much of her career studying and
researching head injuries.
Colorado State Senator Nancy Spence (R-Centennial) submitted the bill to the state Legislature on Jan. 14. The measure includes
three key elements:
• Specialized training for coaches, trainers and others who work with students.
• Students with suspected concussions being pulled from play.
• Athletes returning to play only after being cleared by a professional with expertise in concussion management.
Gorgens spoke about concussions at the 2010 TEDxDU at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts.
“Kids are more vulnerable to brain injury,” she said in her talk. “High school athletes are three times more likely to sustain
catastrophic injuries relative even to their college age peers, and it takes them longer to return to a symptom-free baseline. After that
first injury, their risk for second injury is exponentially greater; from there, their risk for third injury is greater still, and so on.”
Gorgens, who is also the

Wayne Armstrong
chair of the Colorado Traumatic
Brain Injury Trust Fund — an
entity the Legislature created
to provide statewide care
coordination and services to
those with traumatic brain
injury — says Colorado is
“toward the front of the pack”
of states developing legislation
on concussions.
Gorgens estimates that
nine other states have passed
laws.
“A few states raced through
quickly following public momentum and some of those ended up not really reflecting what research suggested was needed,” Gorgens
says.
“I think Colorado did it thoughtfully and included everyone who had an interest, including attorneys, and there was a good meeting
of the minds. No one got everything they wanted, but everyone left the table pretty happy.”
Gorgens believes Colorado is doing a good job addressing concussions and head injuries.
Specifically she mentioned the Denver Veterans Administration’s “groundbreaking research” on head injuries, and she praised Kenny
Hosack, director of provider relations with Craig Hospital for his work on the bill.
“He has, for decades, always been at the forefront of work on this at the local, state and federal levels,” Gorgens says. “He and Craig
Hospital have put Colorado on the map for this topic.”
Gorgens invited her DU students to attend meetings on the position paper and bill and some did. One student in DU’s sports
and performance psychology program attended, networked with group members and is now doing some career-related work with the
Colorado Avalanche.
“That’s exactly why I wanted students involved. It can turn in to some fantastic opportunities for them they can’t get elsewhere,”
Gorgens says.
On March 4, DU will host the fourth annual translational neuroscience conference from 7:30 a.m.–4:45 p.m. in the Driscoll Center.
The conference features national experts on head injury care. All proceeds go to community organizations focused on head injuries. Visit
www.du.edu/braininjury for more information.
