The renovation plans for a small performing arts venue in downtown Cortez are finally coming together. Public radio station KSJD 91.5 has been pushing the completion of an arts space in the building adjacent to the radio's broadcasting offices for almost five years.
According to Jeff Pope, executive director of KSJD, pending approval from the Colorado State Historical Fund, demolition of the building facade and interior framing will begin mid-March. The arrival of a second performing arts center in downtown Cortez is exciting for Pope, who has been on the Cornerstone Committee since beginning.
"The impetus for the venue came about four or five years ago with the city's comprehensive plan," Pope explained. "The key findings were, people wanted a performing arts space that could be used all year long."
When the project was assumed to be on schedule, it was concluded the venue would be ready to open in October 2012. However, contracting bids have proved to be more costly than anticipated. What was thought to be a $1.4 million project has turned into $1.5 million. The committee had to regroup and raise more money than expected. Most of the money for Cornerstone came from the historical fund and other state grants, but $200,000 was donated to the project by local supporters.
The beginning phase of construction, done by local contractors Kennebec Construction Inc., will transform the building's front to resemble the original structure of the Montezuma Valley National Bank circa 1910.
"The best thing about this process so far has been meeting all these people who care about the historical life of this building," Pope said.
The beginning efforts will be completed this summer and the entire project should be finished in December.
The venue will be used for a variety of arts purposes such as; live music, community theater, cinema, dance and lectures. The 2,000-square foot space, including the balcony, is expected to seat 125 people. The stage will lead into the back of the two buildings, connecting actors and patrons to restrooms, an intermission and a reception area that will be located in the basement.
The altered basement may be used by KSJD for conferences or other meetings and also houses a century old, original bank vault that will remain intact and used for storage. Also unique to the venue will be the ability to broadcast any of the events held there. Music, theater and lectures can be aired live for the public through KSJD.
The Millenium Center for the Performing Arts is located at 20 W. Main St. Denise Westbrook, owner and instructor of Come Dance Tonight, will open a performing arts venue for balls, parties, galleries and more. Her space will fit more than 300 people and will focus on larger events.
"This is an exciting time. Within the next year there will be two performing spaces in downtown Cortez," Pope said. "We are orienting more of a listening room for an intimate experience (as opposed to the Millenium Center). The spaces are different from one another so hopefully we can play off of each other."
Pope is ready for the project to go forward. Other committee members, Marianne Mate, Chuck McAfee and Kristine Nunn, are also looking forward to the idea coming to fruition. Mate, fundraising chair for Cornerstone, is leading the campaign.
"The amount of money contributed locally was significant," she said happily. "We had a person walk in the door and give us a jar full of pennies because that's all they had."
Pope and Mate know the support and anticipation from the community is great. Now that construction is slated to begin, they can focus on becoming part of the downtown energy within the arts community. Mate summed up the buzz and excitement that the center will create with one phrase, "a rising tide lifts all boats."
For more information on the new arts space or to make a contribution, contact Jeff Pope at 564-9727.

i sometimes move
Here are two moderately accurate representations of me in motion, save the absence of my tail, which I cleverly hid. First is this video lookbook for Wren's Fall 2012 collection:
We shot it on the one rainy L.A. day of the year, and it was cool outside, and the house we were in had wind chimes and rugs hanging everywhere, and we listened to Cat Stevens, and it was really really rad working with people I've admired for years, and I quietly wept about the realization that life cannot always be this PRETTY.
It also occurred to me at some point recently that most people don't love talking about OUR DAUGHTERS AND THE MEDIA at parties, so I took those thoughts to TEDxTeen instead:
I hope you like both of them, and that you have a good rest of your week.

LTU transportation design students Elizaveta Bondarenko, Elizabeth Steenwyk, and Peter Corey won the top scholarship prizes in the fifth annual Steel Wheel Design competition sponsored by the Steel Market Development Institute's (SMDI) Wheels Task Force and Michelin. SMDI is a business unit of the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI).
The competition held on March 7 at LTU awarded scholarships for unique designs that communicate the "lightweighting" and styling benefits of steel wheels.
The competition is an option within the LTU curriculum and is based on engineering results from SMDI's Lightweight Steel Wheel Project. Students were tasked with designing an advanced alloy steel wheel that demonstrates the lightweighting and styling benefits of steel in the competitive wheel market. The renderings and steel wheel features were judged by a panel of steel experts, automotive designers, engineers and wheel manufacturers.
Elizaveta Bondarenko took first place in the competition with her design for the GMC Terrain. Bondarenko's lightweight 17-inch steel wheel features inspiration from the vehicle's exterior design and its grill to come up with the idea to insert the mesh pattern into the wheel. This creates a unique and innovative look, as well as better aerodynamics.
Elizabeth Steenwyk took second place with the integration of classic Volkswagen lines and a sporty feel into a lightweight steel wheel for the 2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR Turbo. Steenwyk's concept is a drop-center wheel, which reduces the amount of material used. It also features a groove along the spokes, where a black rubber insert with a yellow pin stripe sits. The pinstripe echoes the iconic rush exterior of the GSR to create a sportier, powerful design that better fits the Beetle.
Peter Corey finished third with his design for a Fiat 500. His 17-inch steel wheel features several layers, including folded-over steel for a 3-D effect, bent sides and welded sheets. The unique, lightweight design mimics an eagle's wings when it's swooping down from the sky.
"The students did an outstanding job this year designing wheels that highlight steel's lightweighting and durability benefits, while also creating their styling features to enhance wheel appearance," said Ron Krupitzer, vice president, automotive market for SMDI. "The competition not only proves to be a great way to show steel benefits to consumers, it also helps wheel makers and automotive manufacturers meet new fuel economy standards with lighter-weight wheels."
AISI serves as the voice of the North American steel industry in the public policy arena and advances the case for steel in the marketplace. AISI also plays a lead role in the development and application of new steels and steelmaking technology. AISI is comprised of 23 member companies, including integrated and electric furnace steelmakers, and approximately 125 associate members who are suppliers to or customers of the steel industry. AISI's member companies represent over three quarters of both U.S. and North American steel capacity.
SMDI promotes cost-effective solutions using steel in the automotive, construction, and container markets. Its investors include AK Steel Corp., ArcelorMittal USA LLC, Nucor Corp. Severstal North America, and United States Steel Corp.

Following a massive uproar as he entered the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center Friday for the kickoff of the Krewe of Hercules parade, former Gov. Edwin Edwards made a joke about receiving the key to the city.
Following a massive uproar as he entered the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center Friday for the kickoff of the Krewe of Hercules parade, former Gov. Edwin Edwards made a joke about receiving the key to the city.
"For eight years I was looking for a key," Edwards said, referring to his time in prison after being convicted on racketeering, fraud and other charges related to the rigging of riverboat casino licenses. "But I'm glad I got this one."
Screams came from the crowd as the parade's grand marshal spoke.
"I love you governor," one onlooker said.
"Looking good, governor" came next.
"Governor, can I have your autograph?" followed.
Edwards said he enjoyed being back in Houma.
"I'm looking forward to just having fun tonight and seeing old friends, meeting people and throwing them beads," Edwards said before taking the stage.
After showering gifts on Edwards and NFL player Brandon Jacobs, who was also present, Hercules parade captain S.P. LaRussa handed the former governor the microphone and asked him to say a few words.
"Want to hear my confession?" Edwards asked. "Well we don't have time for that. I'm only here for four days."
The crowd erupted in laughter, and the jokes kept coming when state Sen. Norby Chabert joined Edwards, his godfather, on stage.
"I've made many mistakes in my life. I've had a lot of failures but none as big as this," Edwards said, laughing as he pointed to Chabert.
Edwards said Terrebonne Parish will always hold a special place in his heart.
"Some of my best friends, political and personal, have come from here," he said. "If it were not for the people of this area, I would not have been elected in 1971."
One of those friends was Sen. Leonard J. Chabert, Norby's father, who died in September 1991.
"One day when I was drunk, he (Leonard Chabert) made me sign the paper. Next thing I knew when I woke up, I had a godson," Edwards joked. "I know he's looking down, and he knows we're here."
Edwards and his third wife, Trina, said they're looking forward to the rest of their Terrebonne Carnival experience. After this, it's back to filming their new A&E Network reality show "The Governor's Wife."
The show will follow the couple and allow viewers to get to know them as the "fun, positive" couple they are, they said.
Viewers will also follow the Edwards' quest to add a baby of their own to their take on a modern family, WWL-TV reported Jan. 4.
Along those lines and with Valentine's Day approaching, Edwards offered advice to men on how to make the holiday fun and romantic and make a relationship successful.
"Get a good-looking woman to be your wife and to take care of you. Be nice to her," he said. "Make her happy, and that makes for a happy Valentine's year, not just a happy Valentine's Day."
Hundreds of people attended the kickoff that LaRussa called "the biggest party in the tri-parish area."
In addition to Edwards, Terrebonne Parish President Michel Claudet presented the key to the city to Jacobs.
Jacobs was born in Houma and is a native of Napoleonville. The eight-year NFL running back played for the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers before becoming a free agent. He was a member of two Super Bowl championship teams with the Giants.
Edwards helped close the kickoff by asking the crowd in French if anyone spoke the language.
After a loud, resounding "yeah" from the crowd, he responded, "Laissez les bons temps rouler, cher," the Cajun French expression for "let the good times roll, friend."

Area law enforcement officers arrested five people over the weekend and on Monday for driving under the influence, including a man who reportedly crashed his pickup truck into new cars at Oak Ridge Nissan.
(Photos in the June 13 print edition of The Oak Ridger) Area law enforcement officers arrested five people over the weekend and on Monday for driving under the influence, including a man who reportedly crashed his pickup truck into new cars at Oak Ridge Nissan.
Oak Ridge Police Officer Matthew Johnston arrested 29-year-old Rashaad Ali Daniels, 418 Villanova Road, on Sunday after he allegedly made a U-turn on Oak Ridge Turnpike then went off the road and crashed into several new cars at Oak Ridge Nissan.
Police reports said witnesses told police Daniels was driving at a high rate of speed about 2 p.m. when he "suddenly made a U-turn." He reportedly hit several metal poles before going into the dealership lot, and at one point, tried to get his truck off of the poles by going back and forth and spinning tires, which caused more damage to the cars.
Reports said Daniels was unsteady and agitated, and admitted to drinking earlier.
Oliver Springs Police Officer Shannon Runyon arrested 42-year-old Rebecca Elizabeth Chafin, of Marango, Ohio, shortly after midnight on Sunday on Bennett Road after seeing her car swerving on Tri-County Boulevard, reports said. She smelled of alcohol, admitted to drinking four beers and failed field sobriety tests. She reportedly registered .15 percent on a breathalyzer test.
James Edward Parton, 46, 114 Maple Lane, Powell, was charged with DUI on Sunday after a crash on Oak Road in Powell.
Reports said Parton ran into a ditch and residents saw him throw whisky bottles onto their property. One witness told Anderson County Sheriff's Department Deputy James Presson that he saw Parton crawl from his Jeep and fall down.
Parton reportedly admitted to drinking and taken to the Anderson County jail, "where a forced blood draw was performed."
Because of a recent Supreme Court decision, some Tennessee law enforcement agencies are now obtaining a search warrant in every instance where a blood test is appropriate. In this case, Presson reported Assistant District Attorney General Ryan Spitzer "advised me to do a warrantless forced blood draw due to the amount of time spent investigating the crash."
On Saturday morning, Oak Ridge Police Officer Kyle Scott arrested 44-year-old Tricia Sue Burdick for DUI second offense. Reports said she didn't stop at a stop sign while leaving Lincoln's Sports Grille. She reportedly smelled of alcohol and performed poorly on field sobriety tests. Her prior DUI arrest was in December 2011, also in Oak Ridge.
Richard Alan Pittman, 40, 203 S. Hobbs Road, Knoxville, was arrested on Monday for DUI. Oak Ridge Police Officer Garrett Robbins reported he saw Pittman's car go over a raised median on South Illinois Avenue and swerve into the outside lane and back into the inside lane. The officer reported his radar indicated Pittman's car was going 24 mph.
He stopped the car on North Illinois Avenue at the intersection of Hillside Road, where Pittman's car blocked the intersection. According to a report, the officer noticed Pittman smelled of alcohol, urinated and vomited on himself, and told him he was in Knoxville. He admitted to drinking at the Bucket Head Bar in Knoxville and said he was on his way home. Pittman refused to take field sobriety tests and a blood alcohol content test, reports said.
The five people arrested over the weekend put the total number of DUI arrests in June at 10, which includes the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
One person was also charged on May 31 of the holiday weekend.
Those arrested for DUI on May 31 and in June prior to June 8 include Samuel Lee Pride, 44, 1303 Cove Lane, Oliver Springs, who was also charged with child endangerment, violation of the child restraint law and no proof of insurance; Gary Hall, 62, 5709 Lyons View Drive, Knoxville, also charged with violation of the implied consent law; Howard Pesterfield, 56, 130 Farmer Road, Kingston, fourth offense DUI and also charged with driving on a revoked license; Kenneth L. Robbins, 34, 82 E. Tennessee Ave.; and Dana Robin Beauchamp, 46, 273 Carriage View, Clinton, who was additionally charged with violation of the implied consent law and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.

It is straightforward. Coptic Christians are not Orthodox Christians; hence may not receive mysteries (sacraments) in an Orthodox Church.
I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.
I don't think we should commune EO regularly either, since we regard ourselves as the Orthodox Church
have always thought the Russian Church does not commune Coptic Orthodox because they are Non-Chalcedonian, or monophysite, and not considered truly Orthodox.Am I mistaken, or is this really the case? Has something changed, ecumenically speaking, to allow the communion of Coptic Orthodox? Is it a case by case basis, according to economia?
Russians are probably among the few Orthodox who categorically refuse to commune Copts and other Oriental Orthodox. This is done frequently, however, in violation of the Holy Canons and with the blessing of both the respective Eastern and Oriental Orthodox bishops.Many Orthodox theologians and hierarchs believe that all theological differences between the Eastern Orthodox and Orientals have been overcome, but this is far from the truth. And even if it was the truth, our two churches remain separated; therefore, until administrative and ecclesial unity is achieved, only Eastern Orthodox should be communed or confessed within Eastern Orthodox Churches.
dllwatkinsPerhaps you should research the issue from both sides of the debate, and then talk to your priest if you are still concerned?
I am used to prostrating to the ground after the 'Doistone Est' prayer, and I am usually the only one who does this. Ought I to just cross and bow forward in line with the other parishoners? Or are my particular idiosyncracies (sic) OK?
.... so I started to do it so I do not set myself apart from the other parishoners nor appear "overly pious" to them.
Demetri,it's the exact same rule in the Coptic Church, but it's normal practice here, can you explain the reason behind that tradition in the Greek Church?yours,mourad
I wonder now if they had some kind of news about intercommunion, but I don't think so. I could hear parts of the conversation as I attended to the lamps before the Hours. They had come early to talk with the priest.
Christ wants us all in one Church...and yet here and elsewhere we all too often see people who keep cutting up his body in little bits while passing judgement on others.
QuoteChrist wants us all in one Church...and yet here and elsewhere we all too often see people who keep cutting up his body in little bits while passing judgement on others.Yeah, like those Church Fathers guys. What audacity! Like when most of the world was semi-Arian, why couldn't they just go along with the program? Oh, that unloving and sectarian Athanasius!
A family comes to your temple and has confession-like conversations with your priest and you eavesdrop?! I strongly suggest the next time you "overhear" private conversations with a priest
You do not know this family. You do not know their situation (despite what you think). Shame on you for passing judgement!
I pray in the future you will mind well to not put yourself in situations where you "overhear" private conversations with a priest again
We have a fun parish.
I have never heard gossip there.
There is no concern among the laity about who is entitled to receive confession and Holy Communion
I pray one day you can all be as blessed as I am to be a part of a community of faith that is like mine.
Yes, this is more important than councils and dogmas.
I ask everyone here....are we more concerned with being "Orthodox" or "Orthodox Christians"?
FWIW, the Antiochians regularly communicate Syrian Orthodox in the Middle East, this is widely known and noone is breaking communion over it (well, at least noone who is in communion with Constantinople ). I have also seen Ethiopian Orthodox receive the Eucharist in SCOBA parishes in the USA. As far as I'm concerned, it's not my issue, it's the Bishop's issue, and if it's okay with him then it's okay with me on issues like this one.
spartacus,I realize you love your parish and I'm sure it's a great one, but I'm not surprised at the response(s) you got as you came as pharasaical whether you intended to or not. Have a nice weekend.
I pray one day you can all be as blessed as I am to be a part of a community of faith that is like mine.
