In Memory - John Williams
John Williams John R. Williams, age 70, of Aurora, CO, passed away on September 16, 2012 following a lengthy illness.

Born in Dallas, Texas on August 11, 1942 he graduated from University of North Texas in 1964 with a Bachelors of Music Education degree and received his Masters of Science in Education from the University of Southern California in 1970. He taught instrumental music prior to entering the U.S. Air Force in 1965 as a 1st Lt. He was a USAF Band Director with the 539th Air Force Band of the West at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. His final duty assignment landed him in Colorado where he served in the National Guard, with Civil Air Patrol, and the last 15 years in the Reserves as a liaison officer for the U.S. Air Force Academy, retiring after 28 years of service at the rank of Lt. Col. He was a licensed pilot and enjoyed flying and teaching flying for many years.

John was a professional musician for 50+ years. The John Williams Orchestra and Combo played for many venues throughout Colorado over the past 40 years.
His musical accomplishments and his true passion also include 19 years as the Music Director/Conductor of the Golden Eagle Concert Band, a 50 piece, all-volunteer group of musicians who perform concerts throughout the Denver Metro area.

John was very involved in the Masonic Order, was Past Master of Revelation Lodge #180 and Kiowa Lodge #116 and Past Patron of the Order of Eastern Star, Dawn #125, and the El Jebel Shriners. At the time of his passing he was the Associate Grand Patron for the Order Eastern Star.
A Realtor and Broker, he was a 40 year member of the Aurora Board of Realtors and was recently bestowed the honor of Realtor Emeritus.
John is survived by his wife, Cheryl; son Brian (Angie); stepsons David (Gayanne) Bates; Todd (Michelle) Bates and four grandchildren, nieces and nephews and many friends.

Memorial services will be held Friday, September 21 at 1:00pm at the DoubleTree Hotel Grand Ballroom located at 3203 Quebec Street, Denver, CO. Private burial service will be held at Ft. Logan at a later date.
      In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Denver Dumb Friends League or Cancer Research.

"Chuck" Thomas, II February 12, 1919 - September 6, 2012 Lovingly remembered by his family, friends and fans, Chuck Thomas was an adventurous mountain man, an inventor, and a captivating entertainer. With his wife, Jeanie Thomas, he gave the gifts of music and laughter through a career that spanned more than 80 years. As a young man, he performed in vaudeville shows. Later he formed the Charles Thomas Trio and eventually, the Chuck & Jeanie Duo playing big band-style music. They were regular headliners in night clubs across the country. The couple settled in Grand Junction and quickly became favored performers at local venues. They formed the Grand Junction Dance Club where they performed for 20 years. Chuck was the eldest son of Charles E. Thomas, I and Beulah Livesay. He was raised in Cedaredge, Colorado with his brothers, Floyd of Okmulgee, Oklahoma (Clodell) and Lyman (Lila, both deceased). He was the father of Charles Edward Thomas, III M.D. (deceased). He is also survived by nieces, Lynnette (David) Traub and Lydia (Gregg) Augustine; sisters and brothers-in-law, Helen and Dick Sweeney of Grand Junction, and Jim and Jeanne Quinn of Denver and their five children, their spouses and children. He was predeceased by a nephew, Tommy Thomas, and a niece, Elaine Thomas Markley. Memorial services will be held Friday, September 21 at 3:00 p.m. at Unity Church, 3205 N. 12th St., followed by a reception at the Redlands Community Center 2463 Broadway.

West Metro Fire District benefits from big-band event 
Gordon Dooley
Gordon Dooley, 91, smiles as trumpeter Charlie Smith plays a solo.
LAKEWOOD - The dance floor was packed as swing music flowed in the air, all for the cause of helping firefighters buy radios that work.

The Battle of the Big Bands was held Sunday at the Lakewood Elks Lodge as more than 300 people danced to three orchestras.

The fundraiser was a benefit for the West Metro Fire Rescue Foundation.

About 44 firefighters with the West Metropolitan Fire  Protection District were deployed  around the state this summer to fight the various wildfires. While they were out, many discovered their radios did not work properly.

"We are going to purchase new ones with the money raised  today," said Dean Wahl, who sits on the foundation's board of directors.

Englewood Arts Presents, 9/21
Rob Drabkin
Rob Drabkin
Englewood Arts Presents announces its new "Starlight Rhythms" acoustic concert series!
OPENING NIGHT:  Friday, September 21, 2012 ~ Rob Drabkin, acoustic guitar / singer / songwriter
Englewood Arts Presents proudly announces the opening of a new series of acoustic concert dates on Friday evenings, beginning September 21, 2012 at 7:30p in Hampden Hall (2nd level of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway) and ranging in style from folk to jazz to blues. 

We have selected five ensembles to be featured on our debut series, all scheduled for a fun, exhilarating way to celebrate Friday nights:  Rob Drabkin (Sept 21), Lionel Young (Nov 23), Katy Glassman (Jan 11), Andy Hackbarth in Concert (Feb 8), and Gypsy Swing Revue (Apr 5).  There will be a cash bar - wine and beer.  Tickets are a special $12 price for general admission ($10 for Seniors 60+) and are available at the door beginning one hour prior to concert start time.  Cash, Checks, Visa and MasterCard accepted.  Doors open at 7:00 pm.  Easy, free parking; adjacent to Englewood Light Rail Station; handicap accessible.

Rob Drabkin is a great opener for our series.  His fresh take on songwriting, not to mention his guitar chops, have landed him some big gigs in recent years, including playing at Red Rock and The Mile High Festival.  While playing his "tunes", he is recognized as having a good flare for improvisation that he learned from jazz which keeps his music fresh and new for audiences.   "His melodic finger-picking and good balance of tunes displays his near-perfect guitar skills."  


All concerts take place in Hampden Hall on the 2nd level of the Englewood Civic Center. 
Under the Radar, 9/21
We are so excited and proud to announce the addition of a 5th member to Under the Radar... A great vocalist who many of you have seen perform with us at various times over the past several years...

Some may think I am preaching to the choir on environmental issues in Colorado but consider that in 2010 the city of San Francisco boasted a diversion rate of 85%. (Diversion rate is how much material is diverted from the land fill by recycling, compost, reducing and reusing) The same year Boulder's diversion rate was 35%! I think we can do better!

Or next time you are out having coffee look around the room to see how many folks are sitting having their drinks in non-recyclable paper cups.

I believe it is the little things that can add up to make a BIG difference! So come on out or invite your neighbor or friend and learn something new. YOU ARE A PART OF THE SOLUTION!!!

please ask yourself: "What Can I Do?" Please mark one of these dates on your calendar...

Today, Labor's Community Agency works with hundreds of our brothers and sisters who need a little bit of a hand every now and then.  We do it because our motto is "Working, Serving and Giving."  

In a recent and disappointing decision, we've taken a major blow to our funding sources, leaving us unable to continue to provide these services as early as next year.

We have an ambitious goal; but it's doable, and here's how.  If every brother and sister in labor and their friends and family donated as little as $5.00 per month (higher amounts get us there faster), we can continue the agency and serve those in desperate need. It is heartbreaking to think about our children on the street with no food. LCA helps them on your behalf.

 

To make it easy on you to donate monthly, please click the Donate Now button below to make a monthly donation through the secure GivingFirst.org site using a credit card or checking or savings account.  Also - don't forget to pass this on to
10 of your friends.  Your support is essential to us meeting our goal!
 

Donated Instruments Needed (especially acoustic guitars)
Encuentro Community Center

Musical instruments (especially acoustic guitars) and a stove wanted for Encuentro Community Center educational music and cooking program for economically challenged young people. Please contact the DMA if you have guitars, other instruments, or a stove to donate.

Colorado Work Share Program

Brothers and Sisters:

 

In 2010 the Colorado General Assembly passed SB 10-028, the Colorado Work Share Program. SB 10-028 allows employers to cut the hours of employees equally, rather than lay workers off, during a slow period. Employees who have had their hours cut are eligible for unemployment benefits. The law is subject to the provisions of applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements.

 

The Department of Regulatory Agencies is seeking feedback on this program's usage. Please respond to this e-mail if your local has had experience with this program.

 

Solidarity:

Chicago Teachers, Students Heading Back to School


Chicago's striking teachers will head back to school today after the Chicago Teachers Union's House of Delegates voted to suspend their strike while members consider an agreement framework.

"All of our members are glad to be back with their kids," the Chicago Tribune quoted CTU President Karen Lewis as saying after the decision. "It's a hard decision to make to go out, and for some people it's hard to make the decision to go back in."

CTU's members still must vote on the agreement framework, which has been recommended by union leaders.

AFT President Randi Weingarten says in the upcoming weeks, the full CTU membership will vote on the tentative agreement negotiated between the union and Chicago Public Schools.

State of Working America: Middle Class Left Behind
Sept. 12, 2012

The latest edition of "The State of Working America," from the Economic Policy Institute, tracks the economic growth of the middle class--the little there is--and finds that a middle-class family's income would have been an average of $19,000 higher per year by 2007 "if the share of growth claimed by the richest households had not grown so much over the past 30 years."

Quiet Song for Band- Grade 1/2, by Debbie Davidson.
 A great song for the first band concert of the year! It uses the first five notes typically used in band method books, and is inspired by "Bolero." A quiet tune begins with the flutes and then gradually all of the instruments are added for a big climax before it tapers back down to the flutes. Sure to be a crowd-pleaser!
$25 Creekside Publishing Company
Available mail order through www.creeksidepublishingcompany.com or through Flesher-Hinton.
 
Finale to Beethoven Symphony No. 9- Grade 2+ for full orchestra and SAB chorus, Debbie Davidson.
 Arranged to make this amazing classic accessible for middle school students. Key signatures and changes are simplified. Vocal parts are all doubled, and the Baritone part is optional. An advanced part is included for extra support - when this piece was premiered at Cherry Creek Academy, a teacher played this advanced part on the cello and an advanced piano student played it on piano. Most of the second parts (i.e. second clarinet, second flute, second violin) can be handled by students in their second year of instruction. The Cherry Creek Academy performance involved singers, grades 5 - 8, band members, grades 6 - 8, and orchestra members, grades 6-8.
