Fresh A.I.R. Show Artists In Recovery Displaying Their Work
Jan 13th
The Fresh A.I.R. Show: Artists In Recovery is an ongoing project conceived and directed by Michael Hamers. The main message is one of strength, hope and joy that many have discovered through their Artwork and the process of addiction recovery. Our audience will be reached through public art shows, creative performances, and local lectures. The inaugural art show will be showing the entire month of January 2014 at the Firehouse Art Center at 4th and Coffman in Longmont, CO. The Reception Party is on Friday, January 10th from 6–9 pm.
From painting, mixed media, photography, jewelry and more, this mini-show features a group of 10 local artists, most with established reputations, with a passion for life and art. This first show’s theme is “Out of the Black and Into the Blue”, the artistic interpretation of awakening and rebirth – of second chances. The future calendar of Fresh A.I.R. events for 2014-15 is in the planning and will take place in public venues in Boulder County. “Faith is our greatest gift; it’s sharing with others our greatest responsibility.” Come visit with the artists and maybe even take a piece home with you. Mike can be reached at 303-527-1222 and the website is at www.FreshAirShows.com.
Obituary: George Washington Hunt “Buzz” 1938-2013
Dec 24th
George Washington Hunt “Buzz” Age 75 of Longmont, Colorado, peacefully passed away in his home on December 23, 2013 of natural causes. George was born on October 12, 1938 in Bradley, California. He is survived by his former wife and Betsy, sons Chris and John. He was preceded to Heaven by his son Peter. George served as a naval officer on cruisers and destroyers he held corporate positions for eight years, and worked as an entrepreneur in the health industry. He taught small business management and accounting as an adjunct professor at a college level for five years and started a health corporation in 1991 which became very profitable. He then sold it and retired in 2004. He was also a dedicated conservationist and in turn lost a career business because he stood up for nature rather than wealth.
Mr. Hunt did lots of personal research in religions and sciences, and through the years became very involved with uncovering details of corruption and possible conspiracies in the banking industry. He was devoted to bring this knowledge to people in effort to enlighten as many ears as he could. He created an informational website called www.TheBigBadBank.com where he hosted many videos and stories about his sociological findings in his focused interests in conservation, economic and technology industries.
George was a very charitable and friendly person and always helped those in need and made many friends through doing so.
ed note: We at Boulder Channel 1 were graced with his presence through helping him with creating his website and producing his videos which he will continue to distribute after his passing through his website and social media outlets. May his soul rest in peace.
Review: The Treason of Mary Louvestre published by Koehler Book Author Dr. My Haley

Book Review by Donna Marek
The Treason of Mary Louvestre published by Koehler Book Author Dr. My Haley
The Treason of Mary Louvestre published by Koehler Book Author Dr. My Haley
On Saturday, September 7, I happened to be at Barnes & Noble
Bookstore in Boulder and met author Dr. My Haley, widow of famed
author Alex Haley (“Roots”). She collaborated with her husband
on that book, worked in tandem with him and they married in 1977.
She was at B & N for her book signing
of The Treason of Mary Louvestre published by Koehler Books.
Dr. Haley is a lovely woman, with a PhD in Communications who teaches at a University.
My Haley
When I walked into the area, she was alone with her publicist which
was a good opportunity to have a candid talk about her writing. We did. I chose not to talk about her husband because I thought it was her special day.
Haley’s book is a historical drama based on real events involving the civil war and espionage against the confederacy.
She told me she is excited to have written the book
about the brave heroine, Mary Louvestre, who was a seamstress in her mid 50’s in 1861.
Louvestre stole plans to the USS Virginia and thereby committed
treason. Instead of facing death for her acts as a spy, she traveled
through a storm to meet with the Secretary of Navy. Later she received awards for her work.
This is the first of 6 books in a series in the works for Dr. Haley.
Upon leaving, I wished her continued success and told her I was
going to walk through the store and send people her way.
Evidently it worked. The next day the store’s manager told
me that numerous people did attend her signing.
Lovely afternoon for the “per-chance” meeting.
