Grow Where You’re Planted Meet Dr. Phil Farley, a man with a vision for the revitalization of downtown Loveland By Jade Cody Special Sections Editor In November 2008 at an event called Destination Downtown Loveland, keynote speaker William Hudnut, former Indiana congressman and four-term Indianapolis mayor, had two pieces of advice for Loveland: Be what you are, and grow where you are planted. His words resonated with Dr. Phil Farley, the man spearheading the Loveland Community Fund Committee’s drive for revitalization in the heart of Loveland, which he says is the downtown area. The LCFC is a division of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado. Farley, who three years ago retired from IBM, has made it his mission to provide downtown Loveland with the tools it needs to flourish. “In my opinion, downtown Loveland is the heart and soul of Loveland,” Farley said. “It seems that the trends that we’re seeing throughout the country are that more and more people would like to live in a downtown environment. So we want to make sure that we can help create that environment that would attract people to live and to work downtown,” he said. Attracting downtown residents and workers is essential for a large resurgence downtown, he said. Although there are already a lot of really good stores, more are needed. After spending 18 months researching what it would take to revitalize the downtown community, the Loveland Community Fund Committee found that more than anything, Loveland has a unique distinction as a community driven by art. “Eight percent of the Loveland economy is driven by the arts, which I understand, is the same percentage of the economy represented by HP at the height of its employment in Loveland,” Farley said. The LCFC is currently putting its efforts into helping initiate two projects, the Rialto Bridge project and ArtSpace.

Rialto Bridge expansion The Rialto Bridge expansion would add 20,000 square feet to the existing Rialto building — one Farley said is direly cramped for space. The Rialto Bridge project would gain space by way of a three-story building in the space currently occupied by two onestory buildings west of the theater. The new building would enhance the performances at the Rialto because it would provide much-

needed dressing rooms for performers, space for stage sets, an elevator and stairs, and both commercial and community offices and gathering spaces. The Rialto would also have a space for Phyllis Walbye’s library of films, which was donated to the city. The library would be housed in a conference room/library that could also be used as meeting space for the community. “The city is expected to fund about 3,000 square feet focused on the performers, so we stepped up as the Loveland Community Fund Committee and committed to raise the additional $700,000 necessary to fund those community spaces — the community room which could provide space for smaller performances, a reception area and the library/ conference room. The Rialto Bridge will not only enhance the experience for the performers, but also the experience for the patrons,” Farley said. Farley said the Rialto project is hinging on Amendments 60 and 61, as well as Proposition 101 in the upcoming election. If passed, he said the impacts to the Rialto Bridge project would be devastating. For more information on the Rialto Bridge project visit www.rialtobridgecampaign.org

ArtSpace Farley and the Community Fund also supported a project through ArtSpace, a nonprofit organization that provides work/live housing to artists across the country through a $15K grant to fund the initial feasibility study. Ideally, the ArtSpace housing would be located in downtown Loveland and would help foster the economic and residential push that the downtown area needs to thrive. The housing units would be owned and operated by ArtSpace and rented out as affordable housing to artists, many of whom when first beginning work are unable to support themselves with art as their primary source of income. In a preliminary study, ArtSpace identified more than one hundred artists in the area who would like to live in this type of affordable housing, Farley said. They also found a little over 100 art related businesses in and outside of Loveland that would like to relocate to the building. “These are all existing businesses supporting the arts, he said. “That’s pretty significant that they had this kind of demand in Loveland.” Farley said ArtSpace found Loveland had many more world-renowned artists than other communities they had visited in the past.

Dr. Phil Farley is spearheading the LCFC push for the Rialto Bridge project. He said they are in the preliminary stages and have asked the City for funding to find a site location. “They are asking city council to provide $550,000 over the next two-to-three years for site location and all of the pre-design activities they need to go into,” Farley said. “We’re helping the public understand that this is an ideal environment for public and private partnerships. The City would be asked to invest $550,000 to get a $15 million affordable housing space with maybe 100 new small businesses downtown. Even though Artspace is a nonprofit, they will own, maintain and pay the property taxes on the structure, thus increasing the property tax flow into city and county coffers. We’re trying to get people to understand that the arts really do give an economic boost to the economy.” For more information about ArtSpace or to see some of its former projects, visit www. artspace.org. Farley moved to Loveland in 1978, and before that worked as a mathematics professor at Regis University. He came to Loveland to work at HP in global marketing before moving to IBM. Farley joined the LCFC, which was then called the Loveland Community Foundation, 12 years ago. He served as a trustee of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado before becoming a part time employee in July to drive the Rialto Bridge campaign. “Downtown Loveland is the heart and soul of the community. We’ve got to make sure we grow where we were planted.” For more information on the Loveland Community Fund Committee, visit www. communityfoundationnc.org.

Loveland Public Library expansion and renovation project is underway Model of the completed project

l Upper leve

Jennifer Lehman Special Sections Reporter Construction on the Loveland Public Library expansion and renovation project is underway and is scheduled for completion next fall. “It’s going to be a total renovation combined with the addition of 25,000 square feet on two stories, so its just a total remake of the library,” said Ted Schmidt, director of the Loveland Public Library. “It’s going to help us refocus what the library program is here in Loveland,” Schmidt said and it will redefine what a public library can do in a city this size. The library expansion and renovation will accomplish this through various new creative and media spaces incorporated into the design, Schmidt said. The expansion will double the current space available for traditional library resources, like books, magazines, cds and dvds, but will also make room for significant media and teaching space. On the ground floor, the children’s area will double, Schmidt said. There will also be more computers and audio visual equipment for kids to use, Schmidt said. The new features of the children’s area include a homework help center where volunteers recruited by the library can work with kids on their homework after school, in the evenings and on weekends. There will be a room focused on creating an interactive library experience for kids with a stage, puppets and video cameras so parents and grandparents can film the projects or performances. Families can then take their videos upstairs to a media lab where the content can be edited, burned to dvd or uploaded to YouTube or other social networking sites, Schmidt said. Videos could also be shot in a second floor meeting space where author readings may be held and conceivably a small music group such as a chamber quartet could hold rehearsal or small performance, Schmidt said. The expanded library will have increased public computer access and more space available for library staff and community volunteers to teach computer skills, Schmidt said. The library renovation and expansion will cost $9.7 million. The project received a competitive state grant from the Department of Local Affairs for $400,000 and a federal energy efficiency grant for $400,000. The Friends of the Loveland Library have thus far raised $1.4 million in private donations of their $2 million goal for the project. The rest of the funds will come from City of Loveland capital expansion fees. The new library will be

plan for ne

Loveland’s first municipal building to achieve LEED certification status. The exterior of the addition will by and large match the architecture of the civic center, but the interior of the whole library will be completely different than what it is now, Schmidt said. There will be new lighting, new carpet and some existing walls will be knocked down to provide flexible capabilities with the space in the future. “We’re trying to get away from having fixed walls as much as we can,” Schmidt said. The interior design of the library will reflect unique qualities of Loveland, including local geography through art and design. One percent of city building construction costs go to a public art fund, in the case of the library $50-70,000 will go to funding much of the art in the library expansion and renovation project, Schmidt said. “It’s going to be stunning,” Schmidt said, “the art that’s in the library.” The main corridor of the building, also called the spine, Schmidt said, will extend from the west end on Adams Avenue to the east side looking over the Chilson Center and will be designed to look like the Big Thompson River, with land on either side, Schmidt said. Art glass throughout the building will depict local landscapes like Devil’s Backbone and Long’s Peak. Paintings by nationally renowned local artist Alyson Kinkade will reflect the rural and agricultural aspects of Loveland, Schmidt said. Pieces from the library’s own collection gathered over the years will also be displayed, he said.

A Loveland couple with a unique hobby

By Dennis Book Production Coordinator, Special Sections Supervisor

Ask most people why they moved to Colorado and the reasons are generally pretty common. The mountains, the weather, or perhaps a job. If you were to ask Basil and Terry LeBlanc why they moved to Colorado they would tell you ‘pinball.’ “This area is huge for pinball and Colorado was always part of the plan.” Pinball is more then a hobby for this Loveland couple, it is a lifestyle. “That’s the problem, laughs Terry, we have no checks and balances, we both enjoy them.” Going to auctions and shows is something they enjoy doing together. Coming from Orange County, New York in 2007, Basil and Terry looked at several front range communities before settling in Loveland. “It took three trips to get all 17 pinball machines moved.” Their collection has grown to 35 and counting, some additions coming from as far away as France. “Our collection started out with three machines, none of them worked”, according to Basil. “I was just about to get rid of them when I found someone who fixed them.” What’s next for these two? “The Pacific Pinball Expo in San Rafael, California is next week,” of course. When asked it they ever see themselves in a different hobby, Terry responded, “no, but if we do it will be a much lighter one that is easy to move.” Photos courtesy Mark Gibson
