After successful completion of the freight elevator modernization and substantial building mechanical upgrades in the summer of 2020, a second phase of the infrastructure project began in August 2020 at the Wheeler Opera House. This project phase entailed the exterior masonry for the facade of the historic building. There was a substantial amount of stone repaired or replaced on the building exterior where it had weathered substantially. This facelift required the building to be scaffolded into 2022. The restoration effort was coordinated by the City’s Historic Preservation Department, Asset Department, the historical architect Mills & Schnoering, and many others. This video documents the project in its entirety as well as gives a brief history of the crown jewel of Aspen, the Wheeler Opera House. Produced by GrassRoots Television based in Aspen, Colorado with the generous contribution from all those present in the video itself as well as from the following.

Guess the American university with the lowest free speech ranking! The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) studies, measures and rates free speech on hundreds of U.S. college campuses. In this premier episode of "Come to Think of It", lobbiest, university professor and series host Steven Nemorovsky interviews Sean Stevens, FIRE’s Chief Research Advisor, who directs both the College Free Speech Rankings and the National Speech Index. For almost two decades, Sean’s research has focused on understanding how moral convictions produce motivated reasoning within the political domain, how this motivated reasoning can distort research in the social sciences, and how motivated reasoning can lead to political intolerance and create obstacles to political compromise. While the "Come To Think Of It" series focuses on politics and government, it will also take on a broader range of issues such as the world of sound bites and instant gratification media warfare. Too much of our news is driven by information flow measured in seconds and by content that ignores both facts and context. The goal of "Come To Think Of It" is to identify important ideas from more thoughtful, content based resources and bring the originators directly to you. Nemo hopes to continuously present detailed, balanced and thoughtful conversation and hopes you will be able to take away a decent measure of both knowledge and perspective from each interview.

John Bruna (Jangchub Chophel) is an author, counselor, educator, mindfulness and Dharma teacher. With humble and challenging beginnings, he grew up in a low-income environment, surrounded by drugs and violence. In 1984, at the age of 22, John found recovery and began a journey that changed the course of his life. As a result of that journey, John has been able to turn his experiences being a dishwasher, auto mechanic, corporate manager, graduate student, and spiritual practitioner into insights on how to live productively, creatively, and collaboratively. After living in different cultural and economic environments, along with his educational and spiritual training, John has become an accessible, authentic teacher and role model for people who want positive change and progress in their lives. In 2014 John, Laura and Mark Maloney founded the The Mindful Life Community™ and later the Mindfulness in Recovery® Community began supporting people on a daily basis to transform their lives through developing the skills to live with attention and intention. John Bruna, Mark Molony and Laura Bartels have since helped thousands of people from around the world in courses, trainings, retreats, and community with the mission to ultimately improve the world by improving themselves and their interactions with others. Mark lives in Melbourne, Australia, while Laura and John, now married, live in Carbondale, Colorado. They created the Mindful Life Network™ to bring together all community members in one supportive, engaging place, to help you and others to develop the skills and wisdom to be the person you want to be in the world. Together with people like you, we believe, we can transform the world. Change Your Mind. Watch GrassRoots.

Born in Vlissingen the Netherland, Jack spent most of his childhood in the Hague. His fondest memory was riding his bicycle with his brother Piet to the 1937 Boy Scout World Jamboree in Bloemendaal Netherlands. This would begin a life long love of traveling via bicycle; he would continue this through his 80’s. When Nazi Germany invaded the Netherlands Jack escaped to France. He was 19. Jack joined the French resistance. When the Americans landed in Normandy Jack joined the American forces in Patton’s 3rd Army, as a translator; he spoke 4 languages. They made him a first lieutenant and taught him to drive. Jack would then be stationed in Garmisch-Partenkirchen Germany, again as a translator. Jack fell in love with the mountains, climbing and skiing. He ultimately made it to Aspen in 1949, bartending at the Hotel Jerome and The Red Onion for ten years. He built and then operated the Holland House ski lodge at the base of Lift 1 for decades. Jack's longest local legacy comes from creating a community party to attract guests during the slow month of January in the early 1950's. He called it "Winterskol". A true mountaineer, Jack was also a 35 year member of Mountain Rescue. Know Aspen. Watch GrassRoots.
