Public libraries aremore than buildings

with books. They aresources of entertain-ment, early childhoodliteracy, school sup-port, assistance toentrepreneurs andsmall business, adulteducation, social con-n e c t i o n s , j o binformation, art, cul-ture , his tor ica larchives, daily newsand, yes, books.

In short, librariesplay a critical role inthe social and eco-nomic fabric of a community.

Denver’s library system, withits main library and 23 branches,is one of our most popular cityservices. Ranked as the country’snumber one library system forseveral years until recent budgetcuts reduced hours, Denver’ssystem is now adding services,hours and even two new branch-es.

Mayor John Hickenlooperused Denver’s main library tolearn about how to start his busi-ness. I was in the library severaltimes per week doing economicresearch when I had a consult-ing business. Now I bring mykids, and we check out books,DVD’s, audio books and musicCDs.

A recent study by DenverPublic Library indicates that for

every dollar wespend on our library

system, we get back five dollarsin direct benefits. These come inthe form of money that we savefrom not purchasing materialsor services elsewhere, the valueof the information we receiveand direct economic benefitsfrom the staff.

Nearly 80% of Denver resi-dents have library cards, andmost card-holders visit the

library at least 25 times eachyear.

The library’s web site has aninteresting calculation device forestimating how much the librarysystem is worth to you. So far,the nearly 200 people who haveused the calculator have found atotal value of $68.27 each.

As the city looks for addition-al ways to help improve theeconomic prosperity of our resi-

by Councilman Doug Linkhart

dents, we should look for ways toexpand the role of public librar-ies. Already, 12% of the librarysystem’s users say that they usethe library for job searches, start-ing a business or other

work-related work.The range of functions that

can be served by libraries seemsto be endless. One of the morenovel roles for libraries came upat a City Summit on Aging, whena business leader said that with

our growing population of olderresidents, the “singles bar of thefuture might be our public librar-

ies.”Doug Linkhart is a Denver

City Councilman At-Large, rep- resenting the entire city on City Council.***

Its firstMass was saidin a rented feedstore on thecorner of 25thAvenue and

Decatur Street on October 6, 1889, in what was the town of Highlands. In time it wouldbecome part of Denver. The celebrant wasDominican Fr. Joseph T. Murphy whoseaudience numbered 28 people, a listing of

whom still exists in church records. Thepews and altar had begun life as dry goodsboxes, but attendance grew rapidly, andit was decided to move services to the old

Highlands Town Hall at 29th and Federal.The first summer in the new location,

with Edward D. Donnelly, the first pas-tor, assisted by Father Murphy, the par-ish raised $500 to buy three lots at West25th and Grove, where a two-story brick,Romanesque church school opened.

Five Dominican Sisters arrived fromWisconsin in August 1890, to open aschool.

A convent was built for them at 3035

Despite a fire inFebruary 1891, thefacilities were rebuilt, served by severalinterim pastors, until the arrival of FatherRoscoe F. Larpenteur in 1918. It was he

who oversaw the building of the church we admire on Federal Boulevard. Designedby the same architect as that of the DenverMunicipal Auditorium, Robert Willison, theEnglish Gothic church was built of stonefrom quarries in Monte Vista, Colorado,and Boise, Idaho.

It was dedicated on February 14, 1926,by Bishop Tihen with dozens of Dominican

priests, brothers and sisters in their whiterobes in attendance at this, the home basefor Rocky Mountain Dominicans. It wasthis church that opened the first creditunion in the diocese in 1933 to help parish-ioners during the Great Depression.

Viking Park, across Federal Boulevardfrom the church, provides a magnifi-cent foreground for this grand Gothicchurch.*** ***

A trip to Denver’s “Antique Row” isgreat way to spend a sunny spring day,but you will never make it through themany blocks of shops and showrooms if you don’t stop along the way for appro-

priate sustenance. That’s why I am tak-ing some time to outline what I call the“Antique Row Dining Trifecta,” threerestaurants located at the corner of SouthBroadway and Louisiana that offer threevery different but equally pleasing diningexperiences.

For leisurely dining in a great atmo-sphere, the best choice is Pasquini’s. Thispizzeria deserves top billing because of their consistency in both quality andservice. They have been an iconic site onSouth Broadway for decades, and I haveyet to find a single person who doesn’tlove their food. The breads and pastaare made onsite, the por-tions are very generous,and the menu – though

solidly based in tradi-tion – remains creativeand inspiring. If you’relooking for a light salad,a crispy focaccia sandwich, or a decadentpizza, this is one of thebest options in town. It’salso great if you are eat-ing with a large group because the menucan serve many tastes and appetites.

Pasquini’s is the best spot on AntiqueRow for kids. The building has a newaddition and the extra space is moreappropriate for large groups or fami-lies that need to spread out. When mynephews visit this is a “must stop” loca-

tion where they can play with raw breaddough while waiting for their individualkid-sized pizzas.

Adult groups will enjoy Pasquini’soriginal rooms, which have a more eclec-tic décor, a hip juke box, and fairly decentprices on beer and sangria. This is where we sit when my parents come to town.They say it makes them feel young.

If you’re a foodie then you will surelyenjoy the second member of the Trifecta,GB Fish and Chips. This is where youare going to find good, honest ingredi-ents prepared simply and perfectly. Thefish and chips are the best in town withvery light and crispy batter surroundingthick planks of cod. Every bite offers acrunch that is satisfying to the soul (no

pun intended!) With so many restaurantslooking for unique and creative waysto treat the same old ingredients, it’sextremely refreshing to find someplacethat takes pride in perfecting tradition.

Don’t limit yourself to their hallmarkitem, though, because if you overlook

the Banger and Mashyou’ll regret it. If yougoogle “History of Sausage” you willfind that the Brits have a distinction intheir traditional pork sausage: they add

something called “rusk” which is a fine,dried breading. This is not only a bind-ing agent; it absorbs some of the juices asthe pork cooks, giving a really delicious,moist and smooth texture. The recipeused at GB’s was purchased by a soldierposted in Britain during WWII. Afterusing it himself for decades, he has givenit to his nephew so that the tradition con-tinues here in Denver.

The décor of GB’s is extremely casual; with people eating at wooden picnic tables with soccer jersey’s hanging overhead.You order at the counter then take a seatuntil someone calls your name. There are

no frills. None. Cementfloors, Xeroxed signs onthe walls, and squeeze

bottles of ketchup on thetables. That is becausepeople don’t come herefor anything OTHER than the food. Yes, it isthat good.

The last member of the Trifecta is the SpicyPickle deli. This is a

chain, yes, but it might be one of the bestoptions for people wanting a very quick,light bite. Like many of the other sandwich/panini shops, their menu is postedover the counter and features a decentverity of sandwiches, grinders, salads andpizzettas. It’s a very sterile, fast-food envi-ronment, but that shouldn’t matter if you

remember that the reason you choose theSpicy Pickle is for the very fresh, healthymenu with very generous portions andvery fast service. For the antiquer on thego, this is the best option. It is also thehealthiest. The menu is filled with freshbreads and vegetables and nothing fattyor fried. I really enjoyed my chicken andapple grinder on chibata bread althoughit was more about the bread and lessabout the meat. I would have preferreda smaller piece of bread with more stuff-ing. The small salads, though, are HUGEand with a bit of meat added these wouldmake a great light lunch. My tip: go witha friend, share a sandwich and chooseyour own small salads.

So there you have it, three options for

three different dining attitudes: Pasquini’sfor the leisurely, GB Fish & Chips forthe foodies, and the Spicy Pickle forpeople on the go. Pick your style and bonapetit!***

For 2008-2009

The Imperial Projectsof Mr. McCain

One Republican and twoDemocratic presidential contendersremain in the race; the former oweshis success to independent votersor moderate Republicans, while

the Democrats are still battling itout.

In grabbing the Republicanpresidential nomination, SenatorMcCain has departed fromparty orthodoxy regardingpolitical finances, worked onrestoration of diplomatic tieswith Vietnam, denounced tortureand rejected tax cuts decided bythe current president without anaccompanying reduction in publicspending. Above all, he is lockedin a debate with the extremists of his party as far as immigrationand the imposition of the religiousright's “traditional values” on all

Americans.As for foreign policy, the senator

from Arizona fares well with themost hallucinating hawks of hisparty. This is why many neo-consrallied behind him. A perfect imagethe champion of a “Judeo-Christiannation” opposing “Islamo-fascism”, he intends on “winning”the war in Iraq, “frontline of thewar against terror.”

Against a backdrop of maintained commercial liberalism,the senator’s expected diplomacyincludes a continuation of the warin Iraq with increased material;an increase in military spending;

hard-line relations with Russia;the creation of a “League of Democracies” in substitution of theUN, hence bypassing its charterand encumbrances when the USand its allies decide to interfere onthe world stage and, a pugnaciousapproach toward relations withChina and the recalcitrant nationsof Latin America, in particularVenezuela.

If Mr. McCain is elected, and if

his will is imposed on the rest of theworld, the American Empire mayagain look for rosy days ahead.For the US will relax its alreadyweighty military capacity, while

brushing an offense when othernon-allied nations would have theguts to do much less; the US will usecommerce as a diplomatic weapon but will forbid other nations tofollow suit. Without any doubt theRepublican contender has alreadyannounced that “our country maynot afford the kind of dumps,drift and spinelessness whichfollowed the Vietnam War. Thenext president must lead Americaand the world to victory.”

On the Democratic Party side,Senators Hillary Clinton andBarack Obama have both calledfor a broad reform of US foreignpolicy that would include bettercooperation with other nations and bilateral talks with enemy nations.Hence a more internationalistapproach to foreign policy, and anabolition of the current simplisticdivision of the world into goodand evil. For Mrs. Clinton, the best policy in Iraq would be toprogressively redeploy US troopsin the region. In her opinion, wecannot force other nations andpeoples to accept American values.We have to support those whoembrace them and lead by deedand example.

In a competition, unfortunately,a divided party cannot win. It is

elementary. While both Democraticsenators seem to agree on avisionary style of leadership, weworthily note that Senator Clintonhad authorized the war in Iraq back in 2002, while Senator Obamahad voted against it. In this respect,they are fundamentally different.

Democracy in America hasalways been exemplary, anda wake-up call to the Bush era

Celebrating their 10 yearanniversary this summer, BurlesqueAs It Was has been shimmying andshimmering on stages from San

Diego to New York City since 1998when they emerged as one of thefirst Neo-Burlesque Troupes. Theyare still considered to be one of thepreeminent and most influential

burlesque groups performing today.At the helm is Michelle Baldwin,a.k.a. Vivienne VaVoom, creatorand creative director of the troupeand author of the definitive book on the new burlesque Burlesqueand the New Bump-n-Grind.

Our Hostest with the Mostest,Big Mama Red, is a sultry songstressand bawdy jokester channeling alil' Sophie Tucker, Bette Midler andMae West while singing bluesy,

jazzy, brassy tunes with somesalty humor thrown in. Big Mamadeveloped her burlesque emceechops with the long-running Austin

burlesque troupe, Kitty Kitty BangBang at the world famous Esther’sFollies.

methods of waging war againstterrorism has already soundedwith our citizens. The norms of ourdemocracy have been mistreated,the emergence of Mr. Obamaand his popularity witness to theawakening of the conscience of ourpeople vis-à-vis the danger of the“bushist” deviationism.

Rare are indeed the nations whohave engaged in a real war yet

remained attached to the rules of democracy. The example of GreatBritain during the terrible ordeal

of 1939-45 is unequalled. TheCommons continued to meet underthe bombs, and all basic libertiesremained respected.

The worrisome situation of aneventual victory of the Republicanshere at home as well as on aninternational scale, is not the kindthat would concern the Americanelectorate. Will our fortunes reverseif Mr. McCain is elected?

Denver Art Museum and Anschutz Collection Jointly Acquire Thomas EakinsPainting

The Denver Art Museum (DAM)

has announced the joint acquisitionof Cowboy Singing, an 1892 paint-ing by renowned American painterThomas Eakins. The Museum ispartnering with the Denver-basedAnschutz Collection to purchasethe work from the PhiladelphiaMuseum of Art. In addition toCowboy Singing, the DAM willindependently acquire two sketchesrelated to Eakins’ 1888 paintingCowboys in the Badlands. The threenew works will go on view at theDenver Art Museum immediately.

“The addition of CowboySinging marks a milestone for theMuseum and exemplifies the com-mitment we have to making Denvera major center for western art,” saidDenver Art Museum director LewisSharp. “We are grateful to theAnschutz Collection for making thisacquisition possible and for helpingbring a major painting by one of this country’s most significant art-ists to our city.”

The joint acquisition of theEakins painting is part of a collab-orative agreement between the

Denver Art Museum and theAnschutz Collection. CowboySinging will be shared equallybetween the Denver Art Museumand the Anschutz Collection, whichhas donated funds to support theDAM’s portion of the acquisition.Through the agreement, theAnschutz Collection will receive joint ownership of Long Jakes (TheRocky Mountain Man) by CharlesDeas, acquired by the Museum in1999.

Thomas Eakins was born in1844, the son of an English-Dutchdescended mother and a Scotch-

Irish father. Eakins learned his early

line drawing and perspective skillsfrom his father, a calligraphy teach-er. After attending Central HighSchool, the premier school for sci-ence and arts in Philadelphia,Eakins studied drawing and anato-my at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. In addition, Eakins stud-ied at the École des Beaux-Arts inParis. Eakins began teaching at thePennsylvania Academy in 1876,becoming the director in 1882.

Eakins’ cowboy portraits weredrawn from his experiences in theDakota Territory in 1887. After hisforced resignation from thePennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,Eakins spent several weeks on aranch in the northwestern portionof the territory. After his two-monthstay, Eakins returned to Philadelphiabringing with him a cowboy suit,saddle and two horses. He com-bined this subject matter with hisdeep interest in music, in thisinstance, the cowboy as a musicmaker. Cowboy Singing is one of only three finished oil paintings byEakins depicting cowboy subjects.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art isselling Cowboy Singing to help fundthe acquisition of Portrait of Dr.Samuel D. Gross (The Gross Clinic),one of Eakins’ most praised works.

Spurred by major acquisitionsand generous donations, the DenverArt Museum has made a major com-mitment to Western American artin the last decade. With centrallylocated galleries in the new FredericC. Hamilton Building, the PetrieInstitute of Western American Arthas developed a robust programincluding major symposia and trav-eling exhibitions.

rezoning bills, extending the effectivedate until January 1, 2009. Accordingto Garcia, the eight months wouldallow projects in motion to beconcluded. It would also allow aproperty owner who have said theyhave plans for a scrape-off to begin.Garcia indicated that those changes

were necessary to meet objectionsraised by those on City Council.

Garcia said he expects a “legalprotest” of the re-zoning to be filed.A legal protest, if certified, wouldrequire ten council votes to pass thebills.

The re-zoing is “symbolic as tohow we are going to deal with theimplementaton of Blueprint Denver(the city comprehensive plan),” saidGarcia.

The measures are expected to findstiff opposition from CouncilmanCharlie Brown, who previously

jammed through changes to makerezoning of this sort nearly impos-sible. Brown has teamed with devel-opers, many who are from outsideDenver, to stymie neighborhoodactivists who oppose scrapeoffs.
