Occupy Denver to protest Georgetown evistion
Oct 25th
She has fought them in court, but is now facing eviction and has requested that Occupy Denver stand with her at her home in hope of persuading the police to do the right thing and allow her some more time to continue her legal efforts. She has asked the bank for 30 days during which time she can find another living situation, but the bank has denied her requests. Members of Occupy Denver are answering her call for help and are occupying her home with her as of Wednesday night. To help us succeed in keeping Sahara in her home of 24 years, we ask that you get involved in this home occupation taking place at 170 Peaceful Valley Lane, Idaho Springs, CO, 80452. To get there, drive west on I70 and take exit 240. Go left at the stop sign on highway 103. After 9.5 miles, there will be two mailboxes on the right marking Peaceful Valley Lane, marked also by a green sign with this street name. Drive 300 yards up this dirt road, then take the right hand turn at the fork in the road, and her house is on the right side of a circular driveway.

Former film exec speaks to Flagler College audience
Oct 12th
Kirkpatrick began his lecture, entitled “Our Magic Kingdom and the Five Artists Who Shaped It,” with an impressive montage of some of the films he has been involved with over his career including Forrest Gump, Pretty Woman as well as the franchises of Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Beverly Hills Cop among others.
“Magic is interesting because it can change your universe,” said Kirkpatrick, who has won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe award as a producer, the latter of which he brought to pass around to the audience.
Kirkpatrick went on to discuss artists such as J. M. Barrie, J.K. Rowling, Lew Wallace, Jerry Siegel and George Lucas and how the group used magic to tell their stories and shape popular culture.
When his lecture ended, Kirkpatrick answered questions for the audience of Flagler students, faculty and staff and offered advice in the realms of acting, writing, directing and animation.
But his most interesting piece of advice breached an entirely different art form.
“Write a letter,” Kirkpatrick told the audience. “If you’re interested in working with someone, write them a letter. It’s a dying art and a wonderful way to get noticed.”
Kirkpatrick’s lecture in the Gamache-Koger auditorium in the Ringhaver Student Center was presented by the entertainment industry learning community of Flagler College.

Portion of Artillery Lane to be closed
Oct 10th
Closure’s trial period starts on Wednesday
A portion of Artillery Lane, at its juncture with Avilés Street, will be closed to vehicular traffic for a trial period starting on Wednesday, October 10.
Wooden posts will be installed in the roadway to indicate the point at which vehicular traffic is prohibited. The change will result in the portion of Artillery Lane that remains open to traffic will be made two-way and, to accommodate the new traffic pattern, two parking spaces on the street will be taken out of service.
Following the trial period, expected to last until the end of the year, an evaluation will be made to determine if the closure should be permanent.
For more information, call the Public Works Department at 904.825.1040.
