Public libraries are
more than buildings
with books. They are
sources of entertain-
ment, early childhood
literacy, school sup-
port, assistance to
entrepreneurs and
small business, adult
education, social con-
ne c t i ons , j ob
information, art, cul-
t ur e, hi s t or i cal
archives, daily news
and, yes, books.
In short, libraries
play a critical role in
the social and eco-
nomic fabric of a community.
Denver’s library system, with
its main library and 23 branches,
is one of our most popular city
services. Ranked as the country’s
number one library system for
several years until recent budget
cuts reduced hours, Denver’s
system is now adding services,
hours and even two new branch-
es.
Mayor John Hickenlooper
used Denver’s main library to
learn about how to start his busi-
ness. I was in the library several
times per week doing economic
research when I had a consult-
ing business. Now I bring my
kids, and we check out books,
DVD’s, audio books and music
CDs.
A recent study by Denver
Public Library indicates that for
every dollar we
spend on our library
system, we get back five dollars
in direct benefits. These come in
the form of money that we save
from not purchasing materials
or services elsewhere, the value
of the information we receive
and direct economic benefits
from the staff.
Nearly 80% of Denver resi-
dents have library cards, and
most card-holders visit the
library at least 25 times each
year.
The library’s web site has an
interesting calculation device for
estimating how much the library
system is worth to you. So far,
the nearly 200 people who have
used the calculator have found a
total value of $68.27 each.
As the city looks for addition-
al ways to help improve the
economic prosperity of our resi-
by Councilman Doug Linkhart
dents, we should look for ways to
expand the role of public librar-
ies. Already, 12% of the library
system’s users say that they use
the library for job searches, start-
ing a business or other
work-related work.
The range of functions that
can be served by libraries seems
to be endless. One of the more
novel roles for libraries came up
at a City Summit on Aging, when
a business leader said that with
our growing population of older
residents, the “singles bar of the
future might be our public librar-
ies.”
Doug Linkhart is a Denver
City Councilman At-Large, rep-
resenting the entire city on City
Council.***

Its first
Mass was said
in a rented feed
store on the
corner of 25th
Avenue and
Decatur Street on October 6, 1889, in what
was the town of Highlands. In time it would
become part of Denver. The celebrant was
Dominican Fr. Joseph T. Murphy whose
audience numbered 28 people, a listing of
whom still exists in church records. The
pews and altar had begun life as dry goods
boxes, but attendance grew rapidly, and
it 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 West
25th and Grove, where a two-story brick,
Romanesque church school opened.
Five Dominican Sisters arrived from
Wisconsin in August 1890, to open a
school.
A convent was built for them at 3035
Fran Schroeder and Corinne Hunt
Denver Icons
West 25th.
Despite a fire in
February 1891, the
facilities were rebuilt, served by several
interim pastors, until the arrival of Father
Roscoe F. Larpenteur in 1918. It was he
who oversaw the building of the church
we admire on Federal Boulevard. Designed
by the same architect as that of the Denver
Municipal Auditorium, Robert Willison, the
English Gothic church was built of stone
from 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 white
robes in attendance at this, the home base
for Rocky Mountain Dominicans. It was
this church that opened the first credit
union in the diocese in 1933 to help parish-
ioners during the Great Depression.
Viking Park, across Federal Boulevard
from the church, provides a magnifi-
cent foreground for this grand Gothic
church.*** ***

A trip to Denver’s “Antique Row” is
great way to spend a sunny spring day,
but you will never make it through the
many 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,” three
restaurants located at the corner of South
Broadway and Louisiana that offer three
very different but equally pleasing dining
experiences.
For leisurely dining in a great atmo-
sphere, the best choice is Pasquini’s. This
pizzeria deserves top billing because of
their consistency in both quality and
service. They have been an iconic site on
South Broadway for decades, and I have
yet to find a single person who doesn’t
love their food. The breads and pasta
are made onsite, the por-
tions are very generous,
and the menu – though
solidly based in tradi-
tion – remains creative
and inspiring. If you’re
looking for a light salad,
a crispy focaccia sand-
wich, or a decadent
pizza, this is one of the
best options in town. It’s
also great if you are eat-
ing with a large group because the menu
can serve many tastes and appetites.
Pasquini’s is the best spot on Antique
Row for kids. The building has a new
addition and the extra space is more
appropriate for large groups or fami-
lies that need to spread out. When my
nephews visit this is a “must stop” loca-
tion where they can play with raw bread
dough while waiting for their individual
kid-sized pizzas.
Adult groups will enjoy Pasquini’s
original rooms, which have a more eclec-
tic décor, a hip juke box, and fairly decent
prices 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 surely
enjoy the second member of the Trifecta,
GB Fish and Chips. This is where you
are going to find good, honest ingredi-
ents prepared simply and perfectly. The
fish and chips are the best in town with
very light and crispy batter surrounding
thick planks of cod. Every bite offers a
crunch that is satisfying to the soul (no
pun intended!) With so many restaurants
looking for unique and creative ways
to treat the same old ingredients, it’s
extremely refreshing to find someplace
that takes pride in perfecting tradition.
Don’t limit yourself to their hallmark
item, though, because if you overlook
the Banger and Mash
you’ll regret it. If you
google “History of Sausage” you will
find that the Brits have a distinction in
their 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 as
the pork cooks, giving a really delicious,
moist and smooth texture. The recipe
used at GB’s was purchased by a soldier
posted in Britain during WWII. After
using it himself for decades, he has given
it 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 seat
until someone calls your name. There are
no frills. None. Cement
floors, Xeroxed signs on
the walls, and squeeze
bottles of ketchup on the
tables. That is because
people don’t come here
for anything OTHER
than the food. Yes, it is
that good.
The last member of
the Trifecta is the Spicy
Pickle deli. This is a
chain, yes, but it might be one of the best
options for people wanting a very quick,
light bite. Like many of the other sand-
wich/panini shops, their menu is posted
over the counter and features a decent
verity of sandwiches, grinders, salads and
pizzettas. It’s a very sterile, fast-food envi-
ronment, but that shouldn’t matter if you
remember that the reason you choose the
Spicy Pickle is for the very fresh, healthy
menu with very generous portions and
very fast service. For the antiquer on the
go, this is the best option. It is also the
healthiest. The menu is filled with fresh
breads and vegetables and nothing fatty
or fried. I really enjoyed my chicken and
apple grinder on chibata bread although
it was more about the bread and less
about the meat. I would have preferred
a smaller piece of bread with more stuff-
ing. The small salads, though, are HUGE
and with a bit of meat added these would
make a great light lunch. My tip: go with
a friend, share a sandwich and choose
your own small salads.
So there you have it, three options for
three different dining attitudes: Pasquini’s
for the leisurely, GB Fish & Chips for
the foodies, and the Spicy Pickle for
people on the go. Pick your style and bon
apetit!***

The Imperial Projects
of Mr. McCain
One Republican and two
Democratic presidential contenders
remain in the race; the former owes
his success to independent voters
or moderate Republicans, while
the Democrats are still battling it
out.
In grabbing the Republican
presidential nomination, Senator
McCain has departed from
party orthodoxy regarding
political finances, worked on
restoration of diplomatic ties
with Vietnam, denounced torture
and rejected tax cuts decided by
the current president without an
accompanying reduction in public
spending. Above all, he is locked
in a debate with the extremists of
his party as far as immigration
and the imposition of the religious
right's “traditional values” on all
Americans.
As for foreign policy, the senator
from Arizona fares well with the
most hallucinating hawks of his
party. This is why many neo-cons
rallied behind him. A perfect image
the champion of a “Judeo-Christian
nation” opposing “Islamo-
fascism”, he intends on “winning”
the war in Iraq, “frontline of the
war against terror.”
Against a backdrop of
maintained commercial liberalism,
the senator’s expected diplomacy
includes a continuation of the war
in Iraq with increased material;
an increase in military spending;
hard-line relations with Russia;
the creation of a “League of
Democracies” in substitution of the
UN, hence bypassing its charter
and encumbrances when the US
and its allies decide to interfere on
the world stage and, a pugnacious
approach toward relations with
China and the recalcitrant nations
of Latin America, in particular
Venezuela.
If Mr. McCain is elected, and if
his will is imposed on the rest of the
world, the American Empire may
again look for rosy days ahead.
For the US will relax its already
weighty military capacity, while
brushing an offense when other
non-allied nations would have the
guts to do much less; the US will use
commerce as a diplomatic weapon
but will forbid other nations to
follow suit. Without any doubt the
Republican contender has already
announced that “our country may
not afford the kind of dumps,
drift and spinelessness which
followed the Vietnam War. The
next president must lead America
and the world to victory.”
On the Democratic Party side,
Senators Hillary Clinton and
Barack Obama have both called
for a broad reform of US foreign
policy that would include better
cooperation with other nations and
bilateral talks with enemy nations.
Hence a more internationalist
approach to foreign policy, and an
abolition of the current simplistic
division of the world into good
and evil. For Mrs. Clinton, the
best policy in Iraq would be to
progressively redeploy US troops
in the region. In her opinion, we
cannot force other nations and
peoples to accept American values.
We have to support those who
embrace them and lead by deed
and example.
In a competition, unfortunately,
a divided party cannot win. It is
elementary. While both Democratic
senators seem to agree on a
visionary style of leadership, we
worthily note that Senator Clinton
had authorized the war in Iraq
back in 2002, while Senator Obama
had voted against it. In this respect,
they are fundamentally different.
Democracy in America has
always been exemplary, and
a wake-up call to the Bush era

The supper club style of the
Soiled Dove is the perfect setting
for the vintage entertainment of
Burlesque As It Was, and they’re
pleased as punch to be playing this
gorgeous room with it’s state-of-
the-art lighting and sound. They
feel positively spoiled!
Celebrating their 10 year
anniversary this summer, Burlesque
As It Was has been shimmying and
shimmering on stages from San
Diego to New York City since 1998
when they emerged as one of the
first Neo-Burlesque Troupes. They
are still considered to be one of the
preeminent and most influential
burlesque groups performing today.
At the helm is Michelle Baldwin,
a.k.a. Vivienne VaVoom, creator
and creative director of the troupe
and author of the definitive book
on the new burlesque Burlesque
and the New Bump-n-Grind.
Our Hostest with the Mostest,
Big Mama Red, is a sultry songstress
and bawdy jokester channeling a
lil' Sophie Tucker, Bette Midler and
Mae West while singing bluesy,
jazzy, brassy tunes with some
salty humor thrown in. Big Mama
developed her burlesque emcee
chops with the long-running Austin
burlesque troupe, Kitty Kitty Bang
Bang at the world famous Esther’s
Follies.
methods of waging war against
terrorism has already sounded
with our citizens. The norms of our
democracy have been mistreated,
the emergence of Mr. Obama
and his popularity witness to the
awakening of the conscience of our
people vis-à-vis the danger of the
“bushist” deviationism.
Rare are indeed the nations who
have engaged in a real war yet
remained attached to the rules of
democracy. The example of Great
Britain during the terrible ordeal
of 1939-45 is unequalled. The
Commons continued to meet under
the bombs, and all basic liberties
remained respected.
The worrisome situation of an
eventual victory of the Republicans
here at home as well as on an
international scale, is not the kind
that would concern the American
electorate. Will our fortunes reverse
if Mr. McCain is elected?

City Park's new loop
The City Park Alliance, a non-
profit organization that aims to
revitalize the legendary City Park
into the gem it once was, is pleased
to announce that a two-year dream
has now come true with the receipt
of a $200,000 grant from Great
Outdoors Colorado (GOCO).
This latest grant, along with
$165,000 from Denver Parks and
Recreation, and $12,000 in private
funds, will set into stone, or actu-
ally crusher fines material, a
3.1-mile or 5-kilometer continu-
ous pedestrian path, called the
Mile High Loop. The Loop is
planned to meet the following
urban demands: recreation, envi-
ronmental education, history
appreciation and exercise. Where
today, over one million pedestri-
ans share City Park's roads with
vehicles and bicycles, the Loop
will provide a much-needed pedes-
trian path, connecting the various
mile-high markers throughout the
park's enormous tree groves, his-
toric monuments, majestic
mountain and city views, lakes and
ornamental gardens.

The Alliance hopes to raise the
remaining $50,000 from individu-
al donations, mostly from the City
Park neighboring communities, to
enhance the trail with historic
signposts, mile high markers, exer-
cise stations, and rest areas to
enjoy the best city views along the

eef helps fuel an active lifestyle by pro­
viding a powerhouse of protein. this is
good news considering research by
Donald layman, Ph.D., professor of
nutrition at the university of illinois, that sug gests
many americans may need more protein in their
diets. americans can feel good about loving beef
because the protein in beef is a powerful nutrient
that strengthens and sustains their bodies. Protein
is essential to building muscle and helping
enhance strength.
these recipes are all winners, literally —
not only do they provide powerful protein,
they were also chosen top fnalists in the
2007 National Beef Cook­Off
®
.
Healthy Living
“i’ve always loved the taste of beef and
that it provides protein,” says Christine
riccitelli from incline Village, Nev., the
2007 National
Beef Cook­Off grand prize winner.
exercise is important to Christine. she
enjoys daily hiking as well as swimming,
pilates and lifting weights. Describing her
recipe, she says: “i like to pair beef with
colorful vegeta bles or fruits or wholesome
grains. Plus, i can take a nice long hike
while it cooks in the oven.” Her recipe,
Nuevo Chipotle Beef in Butternut squash
Boats, is loaded with favor, looks great
and fts a healthy lifestyle.
Lean Beef
nthere are 29 cuts of beef that meet gov­
ernment guidelines for lean, including
favorites such as sirloin, t­bone and flank
steaks. it’s easy to “go lean with protein”
and follow the u.s. Dietary Guidelines.
nlean beef is a naturally rich source of nine
essential nutrients, including high quality
protein, iron, zinc and B vitamins, that peo­
ple need for a healthy, active life style. in
fact, a 3­ounce serving of lean beef sup­
plies more than one­half the amount
of protein most people need each day.

"We are extremely pleased that
the Mile High Loop dream came
true," said Annie Levinsky, Chair
of the City Park Alliance Board.
"We hope this newest attraction
will bring people of all ages to
Park. Where else can you get your
exercise at a mile high while enjoy-
ing the city's best view? It's a
uniquely Denver experience."
Construction on the Loop will
begin during the summer of 2008,
with final construction completed
in October. The public will have
the opportunity to review the final
trail route in June 2008. Visit
www.cityparkalliance.org for dates
and times. Volunteer efforts will
also be needed to finalize the proj-
ect and to maintain the loop for
future generations. Community
volunteers will be organized by
Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado,
park staff and the City Park
Alliance, in collaboration with the
Mile High Youth, Inc., to install
the neighborhood connector trail
segments. A volunteer effort is
already scheduled for October 18,

Denver Art Museum and
Anschutz Collection Jointly
Acquire Thomas Eakins
Painting
The Denver Art Museum (DAM)
has announced the joint acquisition
of Cowboy Singing, an 1892 paint-
ing by renowned American painter
Thomas Eakins. The Museum is
partnering with the Denver-based
Anschutz Collection to purchase
the work from the Philadelphia
Museum of Art. In addition to
Cowboy Singing, the DAM will
independently acquire two sketches
related to Eakins’ 1888 painting
Cowboys in the Badlands. The three
new works will go on view at the
Denver Art Museum immediately.
“The addition of Cowboy
Singing marks a milestone for the
Museum and exemplifies the com-
mitment we have to making Denver
a major center for western art,” said
Denver Art Museum director Lewis
Sharp. “We are grateful to the
Anschutz Collection for making this
acquisition possible and for helping
bring a major painting by one of
this country’s most significant art-
ists to our city.”
The joint acquisition of the
Eakins painting is part of a collab-
orative agreement between the
Denver Art Museum and the
Anschutz Collection. Cowboy
Singing will be shared equally
between the Denver Art Museum
and the Anschutz Collection, which
has donated funds to support the
DAM’s portion of the acquisition.
Through the agreement, the
Anschutz Collection will receive
joint ownership of Long Jakes (The
Rocky Mountain Man) by Charles
Deas, acquired by the Museum in
1999.
Thomas Eakins was born in
1844, the son of an English-Dutch
descended mother and a Scotch-
Irish father. Eakins learned his early
line drawing and perspective skills
from his father, a calligraphy teach-
er. After attending Central High
School, 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 in
Paris. Eakins began teaching at the
Pennsylvania Academy in 1876,
becoming the director in 1882.
Eakins’ cowboy portraits were
drawn from his experiences in the
Dakota Territory in 1887. After his
forced resignation from the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,
Eakins spent several weeks on a
ranch in the northwestern portion
of the territory. After his two-month
stay, Eakins returned to Philadelphia
bringing with him a cowboy suit,
saddle and two horses. He com-
bined this subject matter with his
deep interest in music, in this
instance, the cowboy as a music
maker. Cowboy Singing is one of
only three finished oil paintings by
Eakins depicting cowboy subjects.
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is
selling Cowboy Singing to help fund
the acquisition of Portrait of Dr.
Samuel D. Gross (The Gross Clinic),
one of Eakins’ most praised works.
Spurred by major acquisitions
and generous donations, the Denver
Art Museum has made a major com-
mitment to Western American art
in the last decade. With centrally
located galleries in the new Frederic
C. Hamilton Building, the Petrie
Institute of Western American Art
has developed a robust program
including major symposia and trav-
eling exhibitions.

rezoning bills, extending the effective
date until January 1, 2009. According
to Garcia, the eight months would
allow projects in motion to be
concluded. It would also allow a
property owner who have said they
have plans for a scrape-off to begin.
Garcia indicated that those changes
were necessary to meet objections
raised by those on City Council.
Garcia said he expects a “legal
protest” of the re-zoning to be filed.
A legal protest, if certified, would
require ten council votes to pass the
bills.
The re-zoing is “symbolic as to
how we are going to deal with the
implementaton of Blueprint Denver
(the city comprehensive plan),” said
Garcia.
The measures are expected to find
stiff opposition from Councilman
Charlie Brown, who previously
jammed through changes to make
rezoning of this sort nearly impos-
sible. Brown has teamed with devel-
opers, many who are from outside
Denver, to stymie neighborhood
activists who oppose scrapeoffs.
