HERITAGE LAKEWOOD BELMAR PARK | BEHIND THE SCENES
A VINTAGE VEHICLE VANTAGE An interview with Jon Stabile, Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park, tractor mechanic What skill set is needed for working on tractors?
Jon gave the fire truck a tuneup, which was difficult since the vehicle had no documentation, and engine specifications had to be figured out on the fly.
Jon Stabile has been Heritage Lakewood’s tractor mechanic since September 2023. During the past year, he has managed to get all 15 of Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park’s vintage vehicles running! Despite being educated as a computer Tractor mechanic Jon Stabile scientist, he found his driving Heritage Lakewood’s 1936 Case Model L. calling later in life as a mechanic. Jon worked on bikes for Boulder Bikesmith starting in 1998, later running the shop as the owner for 20 years. After retiring from the bike business, Jon applied for the position at Heritage Lakewood to continue learning new skills, improving his abilities in repair and fabrication and contributing to his community.
Which vehicle has the strongest engine? The McCormick-Deering International T-40 TracTracTor was made by the McCormick-Deering Company in 1936 and houses the strongest engine in the collection. When McCormick-Deering started production of the TracTracTor in 1932, it cost under $3,000. The tractor, equipped with a series of levers for steering, was used on various terrains both on the farm and for industrial purposes. Donated from a farm near Salida, Colorado, its original 40-horsepower engine was replaced at some point with a much stronger six-cylinder Red Diamond truck engine. Jon rebuilt the carburetor and gave this tractor an extensive radiator rebuild during its tuneup. Which is the most frequently used vehicle? The most frequently used vehicle, for programs such as hayrides during events and camps, is the McCormick Farmall “H” made by the International Harvester Company (IHC) in Chicago, Illinois, in 1940. IHC introduced a row-crop tractor as its first Farmall model in 1924. The Farmall H was offered with four steel wheels, four pneumatic rubber tires or a mix of the two. Farmall H tractors with rubber tires were sold throughout World War II until they were discontinued in 1948. Jon gave this tractor a tuneup and valve adjustment, rebuilt the starter and adjusted the ignition timing.
What are Jon’s favorite tools for working on tractors? One of Jon’s favorite aspects about working on the tractors is the lack of special tools needed. Tractors differ from modern vehicles in that you can do so much work with just a handful of basic wrenches! What is the oldest vehicle in the fleet? The Bancroft Fire Department truck, from 1924, is a white, chemical fire truck with a 75-gallon water tank. The truck was used by the Denver Fire Department and then transferred to the Bancroft Fire Protection District when it was established in the late 1940s. The district later included the Bear Creek area, the original St. Anthony’s Hospital, the town of Morrison and many other surrounding areas. Bancroft merged with the Lakewood Fire Department in 1991 and became West Metro Fire Rescue in 1995. The truck was donated to Heritage Lakewood in 1996.

HISTORIC LUNCHEONS | HERITAGE LAKEWOOD BELMAR PARK
SPOTLIGHT ON COCINA LIBRE A Historic Luncheon feature presentation
You’re invited to a Historical Luncheon on Tuesday, March 11, noon-2 p.m., at Heritage Lakewood’s Historic Country School, as we proudly feature Dr. Julia Roncoroni, psychologist and author of “Cocina Libre: Immigrant Resistance Recipes.” Heritage Lakewood is looking forward to another year of our popular Historical Luncheon series. On the second Tuesday of every other month, we gather with friends and savor the flavors of our past while delving into engaging historical discussions led by experts. In 2024, we explored stories ranging from local legends, such as May Bonfils and Lakewood’s Villa Italia mall, to the history of gas stations and the work Lakewood’s Forestry Division does to maintain our beautiful tree canopy. Our 2025 lineup promises to be every bit as deliciously exciting! Speaking of tasty, we are honored to welcome Dr. Julia Roncoroni as she introduces her informative work, “Cocina Libre: Immigrant Resistance Recipes!”
“Cocina Libre” is more than a cookbook . It's a journey into the lives of immigrants with each recipe telling a personal story of resilience and connection. Through food, we explore how our participants have faced the challenges of immigration while holding on to their cultural heritage. This presentation will offer an intimate look at the powerful narratives behind the dishes and their role in fostering understanding and solidarity. For each luncheon, our amazing team of volunteers transforms our historic Country School into a place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends and to feed your curiosity. We look forward to sharing food, stories and conversation with our wonderful community!
Dr. Julia Roncoroni is a psychologist specializing in social justice and liberation psychology. As an associate professor at the University of Denver and the chief diversity officer for the National Latinx Psychological Association, she focuses work on empowering individuals to navigate and heal from systemic oppression. Fluent in English and Spanish, Dr. Roncoroni integrates culturally sensitive practices and anti-racist frameworks into her work.
“Cocina Libre” is more than a cookbook. It's a journey into the lives of immigrants with each recipe telling a personal story of resilience and connection.

LAKEWOOD CULTURAL CENTER | EXHIBITION
CORNER GALLERY FEATURE From architect to abstract artist, Kevin Mills has always had a visionary sense of the aesthetic and has held influence in the creative community. In January and February, the Corner Gallery in the Lakewood Cultural Center is thrilled to present Mills’ most recent body of artwork. The Corner Gallery is a community gallery space that hosts emerging artists, community organizations, cultural partners and public activities in pursuit of the Cultural Center's mission to provide free arts and culture access to the entire Lakewood community. In the early 1980s, when architects across the country started designing family entertainment bowling centers that would eventually change the image of the entire industry, one stood out as an industry pioneer and leader. Kevin P. Mills and the company he founded, Architectural Concepts, provided architectural services to more centers than most other firms combined during his award-winning career. In January 2012, Kevin had a life-changing skiing accident that fractured his spine and caused a traumatic brain injury. Over the following months, Kevin had to learn to walk and talk again. This event prompted a sooner-than-expected retirement from BRAVO JANUARY-APRIL 2025
architecture, but he found his new passion and creative drive in abstract acrylic painting. Though Mills had never painted before his accident, he found that his background in architecture and design inspired the shapes, colors and structures of his new artworks. He loves to paint daily, working his way through his many commissions. Mills strives to generate an emotive response within the viewer using color, texture and compositions with movement.

WILDLIFE TO WATERCOLOR This winter and spring, the North, Richey, Mezzanine and Corner Galleries offer an array of exhibitions celebrating the breadth of artistic talent within our community. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Lakewood Cultural Center, our goal, as always, is to inspire an inclusive appreciation of art through exhibitions that range in content from thought-provoking contemporary works to traditional methodologies in intimate exhibitions and large community-based group shows. In the North Gallery from late January through March, viewers can explore the group exhibition, "Instrumental," which investigates how music, sound and instrumentation play a role in an artist’s creation and understanding of an artwork. From the tiniest, most intricate work of luthiers to visual artists who invite viewers to interact with artworks to create music, "Instrumental" will journey across an auditorily inspired visual score within the gallery. The Corner Gallery will feature the group photography show, "Wildlife of Lakewood," for its fourth annual juried exhibition, which celebrates the incredible diversity of fauna living in the city. This community show welcomes submissions from the community, filling the gallery walls with a menagerie of wildlife photography, March 1-31. The Mezzanine Gallery will once again host the Colorado Watercolor Society’s annual juried exhibition from January through March, presenting the best of the best in watercolor. Members are asked to share their most successful works that demonstrate the tremendous versatility of this time-honored medium. We are excited to participate in this year’s Month of Photography biennial, highlighting how photographers are pushing the boundaries of the medium to create works that challenge the definition of “photo.” Look for this exciting exhibition in the Civic BRAVO JANUARY-APRIL 2025
Center’s Richey Gallery from January through the end of March, with the official Month of Photography taking place March 1-31. A crowd favorite each year in April, the LCC galleries are filled to the brim with the youthful energy of the Jeffco Middle Schools Art Show and the Fletcher Miller and Sobesky schools’ show. While the kids are celebrated in the Cultural Center Galleries, the Richey Gallery will host the Jeffco Teachers Show, which features the incredible talent of educators who inspire students across our school district. This year, ahead 8
of the always exciting Jeffco middle school exhibitions, the Mezzanine Gallery is pleased to highlight Jeffco IB Arts programs in an exhibition by more than 20 students presenting their thesis body of artworks.

ON A ROLL: PRESERVING TEXTILES December 10, 2024-March 30, 2025
twill tape. Most textiles are rolled facing inwards, but those with raised textures are rolled facing outwards so as not to crush the pile or embroidery. Textiles with multiple layers or damaged fibers are best stored flat in drawers or archival boxes. Every week, from December through March, staff and volunteers will inspect, clean, catalog, photograph and re-roll a different textile from the collection. Visit weekly to view the changing colors and textures of the fabric of Lakewood’s history and new pieces made by classes and teachers at Heritage Lakewood, Washington Heights Art Center and Lakewood Cultural Center. The preservation team will be available to answer questions about the museum collection.
Preserving museum artifacts involves an ongoing effort to keep them clean, free of damage and ready for display, education or research. Many of the textile pieces in Heritage Lakewood's collection such as rugs, flags and curtains are too large to unroll in the collection storage building. Moving these items to the Temporary Gallery at Heritage Lakewood will provide museum staff with a larger display and workspace while offering visitors a behind-the-scenes look as they preserve and care for community artifacts. For large textiles in good condition, rolling them on a tube can be a safe, space-saving storage option. The museum uses tubes wrapped in unbuffered, acidfree tissue paper, supported by a metal pipe. The pipe is hung off the ground to prevent damage from water, pests or the pressure of the textile itself. The rolled textile is interwoven with prewashed cotton muslin sheets and more tissue paper, then tied with cotton

MUSIC AS GOOD MEDICINE know each other as people and musicians, they have created something that is both familiar and unique. “It was a very organic process. We started by each sharing our own songs and developed a sense of how these styles work by playing them over and over and learning their structures,” Troop said. “It’s just two human beings sharing what they love with each other and bringing new perspectives to the music.” While in the studio, Troop and Bellorín bring in other musicians to fill out their sound, but on the road, the two of them play harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, maracas, guitar, upright bass and other instruments on their own. This gives their concerts an intimate feeling of bearing witness to a musical conversation. And that personal connection is critical to what makes Larry & Joe work. “What we do is an expression of solidarity across cultures. By playing the eclectic mix of folk music from across the Americas that we do, we’re showing how joyous that process can be,” Troop said. “Our audiences will run the gamut of the emotional breadth that comes with being a human being. We think the experience can be like medicine — good medicine.”
There’s no way to predict the chemistry between two people or how it will flourish. Sometimes, it just happens. When Joe Troop, multi-instrumentalist and singer/ songwriter from North Carolina, first saw Larry Bellorín, an asylum seeker from Venezuela who is also living in North Carolina and is a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter, perform on video, Troop knew there was something special. “I called him and asked if he’d want to collaborate on some music,” Troop remembers. “When we got together, sparks flew, and we really hit it off. It was musical love at first sight.” That was in December 2021 and in the ensuing years, the duo known as Larry & Joe have recorded two albums and performed well over 400 gigs at venues across the country. In support of their most recent album, “Manos Panamericanos,” Larry & Joe will be stopping by the Lakewood Cultural Center on March 2. As musicians, Troop and Bellorín each incorporate elements of their musical backgrounds into the “Latingrass” music they make together. Troop specializes in Appalachian bluegrass, while Bellorín is a legend of Venezuelan llanera music. By getting to

Celebrating 25 years of volunteering As we mark the 25th anniversary of the Lakewood Cultural Center, we reflect on the incredible journey that has transformed it into a bustling regional hub for arts and culture. At the heart of this transformation are our dedicated Cultural Center volunteers, who have been with us every step of the way. Since day one, volunteers have played a vital role in the operations of the Cultural Center. Whether it’s our dedicated performance assistants greeting patrons with a smile, scanning tickets, helping guests find their seats or those working behind the scenes preparing delicious pre-show meals, hosting gallery receptions, and supporting camp instructors, their commitment is unwavering. For the past 25 years, these volunteers have helped shape the Lakewood Cultural Center into the vibrant community space it is today. We are immensely proud of our volunteers, who truly embody our mission: being a center for discovery, entertainment and lifelong enrichment. Together, we’ve built a community where arts classes, performances and exhibitions flourish — and we look forward to the next 25 years of creativity, connection and culture!

THE ART OF MOVEMENT
The Lakewood Cultural Center’s dance classes and programming hold significant value for our community, as they embody the art of movement by allowing individuals to express themselves and foster creativity and social connections. Originating with just one class in a small room, these programs have grown remarkably, evolving into hundreds of annual offerings that explore a diverse range of dance styles, from hip-hop and ballet to circus and tap, for students of all ages and abilities. This inclusive and accessible environment promotes physical well-being and cultivates a sense of belonging among participants. An annual recital remains the highlight of each year, showcasing the talents of over 150 dancers, aged 3 to 85. This event celebrates the joy of dance and fosters a strong sense of community. After more than a decade of dance classes at the Lakewood Cultural Center, we proudly celebrate our 25th anniversary season. Our dance programs continue to enrich the community’s cultural identity and empower individuals through the universal language of dance. BRAVO JANUARY-APRIL 2025

LAKEWOOD CULTURAL CENTER | AT HOME ART PROJECT
HEART-WARMING DIY Fill your home with a rainbow of colors and warmth this Valentine's Day with this easy-to-make suncatcher heart. It's a perfect project for all ages and requires only a few simple supplies.
PROJECT DIRECTIONS: 1. Fold black cardstock, in any size, in half evenly. Cut a half-heart shape from the cardstock with the scissors. Next, cut out a smaller heart from the larger heart shape. This will create a heart-shaped frame. For small hands, with the colored pencil trace two dashed half heart shaped lines on the cardstock to cut along. Put the smaller, extra heart shape aside; we will add it in later. 2. Holding onto the scissors, grab colored tissue paper and cut it into 1-inch by 1-inch squares. Make a little pile of different colored squares! Set scissors aside. 3. Next, use the heart-shaped frame to measure the clear contact paper necessary to cover the cutout. 4. Cut out the measured clear contact paper, peel the backing off, and place the heart cutout on the sticky side of the contact paper. Press the heart down to make sure it adheres well. 5. Place the tissue paper squares on the clear contact paper inside the heart cutout. Pieces can overlap each other and the cardstock. Press down each tissue paper square. 6. Cut the excess clear contact paper and tissue paper from the outside edge of the heart-shaped frame. 7. Flip over the piece and admire your new Valentine’s suncatcher heart! Use excess contact paper and cut into strips to adhere to a window. 8. Optional Step #1– Use the extra, smaller-sized cardstock heart to cut out smaller heart-shaped frames and position them within the larger frame. Remember to place them on the clear contact paper before adding the tissue paper. 9. Optional Step #2– Use embroidery floss, to hang the finished heart on a hook. Cut excess contact paper into small strips and cut the embroidery floss into roughly an 8-inch strip. Use the contact paper strip to attach the embroidery floss to the heart for hanging.
