Sculpture students heat the iron to liquefying temperatures and pour into casks. Fire and flames jump as the iron settles into the mold. Pours will happen throughout the evening.

The Colorado Association for Recycling, in its role as Director of Resource Recovery for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) Host
Committee, is looking for a few good volunteers!
WHEN
We don’t have specific information at this time but we can tell you that volunteers will be needed between Aug 23 and Aug 29 anytime from 8 a.m.
until 10 p.m. Shifts that late will be rare, typically 7 p.m. would be the latest.
VOLUNTEER POSITIONS
We are looking for folks who are able to oversee other volunteers in the resource recovery effort. The DNC has volunteers who will be trained to
man ‘waste stations’ at various locations and runners, who will circulate from station to station ensuring that they are manned, that there are no
problems, and that the recycling and trash make it to the appropriate
central collection location.
The positions we need filled are the team captain positions that will
oversee these other volunteers and be in contact with the volunteer
coordinator as needed. It would entail working one 6 - 8 hour shift,
typically out-of-doors, at one of the many interesting events taking place
during the convention. You would ensure that volunteers get checked in and
out, have what they need to perform their duties and generally supervise
that shift.
TRAINING
There will be an overall training available on Monday, August 18 at 6:00pm
(yes, tonight!) and Saturday, August 23 at 9:00am at Sturm Hall on the
University of Denver campus. We’ll be in the Davis Auditorium on the 2nd
floor.
Sturm Hall is located at 2000 E. Asbury Ave. If you take the lightrail,
it’s directly south of the DU stop, just past the Richie Center.
Here’s a map: http://www.du.edu/maps/index.html
TO HELP
If you think you’d like to help CAFR and the DNC green this convention and
recover as many resources as possible, please contact Marjie Griek at
mgriek@cafr.org or Jack DeBell at debell@colorado.edu.
These energy-saving and long-lasting bulbs will (eventually) wear out, and when they do, you
can now drop off used compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) and mercury-containing thermostats for free recycling at any Ace Hardware store in the state. The spiral shaped bulbs contain a small amount of mercury and should not be thrown away in the trash.
Cheesman Park trails and roads will be available to walkers, joggers, cyclists, rollerbladers, and picnickers only! Cheesman Park roads will be closed from 5 am – 7 pm. Bus routes will detour around the park.

Last Hat in Town chronicles the transformation of the Rocky Mountains from wide-open ranch land to a patchwork of natural gas drilling sites. Three very unique men are struggling to find new ways to live in this changing landscape. In an intimately interactive direct-cinema style, Soul Fabric Films tells their stories. The closely observed details of their struggles accumulate to a complex and heart-rending story of the loss of a way of life. It is boom-time in the Rocky Mountains. The rush to extract trillions of cubic feet of natural gas in Colorado has forever altered these romanticized landscapes as well as the people who have lived here for generations.
