REMEMBERING THE MOUSE THAT STOOD FOR MONTROSE…

LOCAL SCULPTURE HONORS COMMUNITY SPIRIT OF DEFIANCE!

By Liesl Greathouse OURAY-As of June 2, Montrose's local favorite, the Two Rascals Brewing Company, is now bringing their great craft beer, family-friendly atmosphere and more to Ouray, with Two Rascals Tacos and Taps. Terri Leonardi, owner of Two Rascals in Ouray (plus wife and mother to the owners of the Two Rascals in Montrose), is excited to get started and pursue this business as a new venture in her life. “It was the next natural step with the business and I'm getting ready to retire from my career,” she explained. “We just wanted to try it. We are from Ouray and wanted to be part of

By Shirley Bradbury MONTROSE— A memorable art print you may re-member from the late 60’s/early 70’s is called, "The Last Great Act of Defiance," showing a huge eagle swooping down with its razor sharp talons out-stretched, a tiny mouse sitting there calmly, about to be snatched up for the eagle’s dinner, with its middle finger raised in the ultimate, albeit final, act of defiance in the face of certain death. This print was popular around the time of the Vietnam War, when there was a lot of discontent among the younger generation as they tried to come to terms

the business community here, too.” “We are a restaurant that has craft beer, wine, and other liquors,” she added. “People come in, order a ¼ or ½ lb of meat, then go to the taco bar where they will find the toppings to create their own flavors.” Why do a 'taco bar' set up? “This way everyone gets what they want,” Leonardi explained. “Daniel [Leonardi] got the idea when he went with a friend to Mexico and visited with the former owner of Ah Chi-huahua [in Montrose].” In addition to tacos, they also offer regu-lar hot dogs and delicious soft-serve ice cream. Their website also says, “Come in and try out our local brews. Brewed at Two Ras-cals Brewing in Montrose, Colorado. Starting out as a labor of love at our brew-ery in Montrose, Colorado, Two Rascals Tacos and Taps is an extension of our love for beer and good food. We love beers,

and if you do, too, you've come to the right place! We brew several varieties of our own hand-crafted seasonal ales, por-ters, and stouts.” The great patio area the restaurant offers has games like Jenga already set up and ready to play, providing fun for the whole family while you enjoy your meal. As with any new restaurant, they are still figuring out all the details of the business. Their current challenge has been staffing and they are still hiring staff members. Anyone interested can call 325-9863. The restaurant so far seems to be well received by customers and the local com-munity. “People have been pretty excited for us,” Leonardi explained. “The most comments we have had have been that people like the flavor of the food and they like the seating.” So what has been Leonardi's favorite part of the business so far? “The customers,”

she said. “I like talking with them, visiting with them and becoming a part of their day.” She added, “We look forward to seeing you there.” Two Rascals Tacos and Taps is open daily 11 a.m.-10 p.m. at 920 Main Street in Ouray. For more information, call 325-9863.

MUSICAL TEXTURE YIELDS CLUES TO COMPOSER’S IDENTITY, CULTURE

The sound of music is best experienced when the listener’s experience is active. When the sound emerges from the back-ground, the true texture of the music will reveal itself. The aesthetic quality of a piece will often lurk just below the sur-face. Beauty is revealed when the passive listening experience becomes active. The various sounds that make up a par-ticular musical composition provide hints to the identity of the music. Instruments within the orchestra or other ensemble provide sounds and textures that reveal this identity and often the nationality of the composer. Sergei Rachmaninoff simply sounds very Russian. Even for the first time listener, there is a quality to the mu-sic that identifies the composer as a Rus-sian native, or at a minimum, a composer who has had strong Russian influences. Two popular works by Rachmaninoff are the 2nd and 3rd piano concertos. The struc-tures of these concertos are traditional with three movements, the middle being slow and the first and second movements having a faster tempo. The instrumental make-up of the orchestra is not unusual and there are not native or Russian spe-cific instruments notated in the score or used in the orchestra. The Russian sound, or “feel” in these pieces come from the arrangement of twelve simple notes. This is the true wonder of musical composi-tion. All compositions are made up of the same twelve notes from C-natural ascend-ing chromatically to B-natural. The notes are of course higher or lower in pitch de-pending on how the composer uses them

within the structure of the composition. In the example of Rachmani-noff, Russian folk melo-dies and folk tunes are used within the compo-sition of the concertos. It is from these simple folk melodies that come the Russian feel and texture of the piece as a whole. On the other end of the sound spectrum, but still under the umbrella of “classical” music, are the compositions of Ameri-can composer Aaron Copland. The music of Copland sounds distinct-ly American. As with other music that has been discussed, the compositions of Aaron Copland are often heard in movies and television. One of the most well known examples is the television commercial for the Beef Industry Council. The music heard in the back-ground is the “Hoe Down” from Copland’s Rodeo ballet. Other compositions by Aa-ron Copland, “Appalachian Spring” and “A Lincoln Portrait” have the same easy to identify American sounds and textures. These compositions, with their cultural and national influences, often become substitute National Anthems for the coun-tries where the composer was born,

raised, and/or influenced. Next time you hear a piece of classical music, try to listen a bit deeper and see if anything from the orchestra jumps out as sounding Russian, French, American, or from any other country in the world. In may not be obvious, but it is the subtleties of musical composition that often have the greatest impact.

Sergei Rachmaninoff simply sounds very Russian. Even for the first time listener, there is a quality to the music that identifies the composer as a Russian native, or at a minimum, a composer who has had strong Russian influences. Wikipedia photo.

an unpopular war and the impact that it was having on their lives. It depicts the sentiment that even when circumstances are difficult and it looks as though there is no way out of a bad situation, standing up to your oppressor and letting them know how you feel until the last possible second is a sign of honor and pride. Like that Mouse, a little town in Western Colorado found itself in a bad situation in the late 1970’s. The “Dallas Creek Pro-ject”, which had been approved, had fund-ing allocated and had been in the talking stages for almost 30 years, was in danger of being dismantled by then-President Jimmy Carter as part of his federal budget “hit list”—a move that would have left Montrose with insufficient water for the future. Even though the voters agreed nine to one on the project, and were more than willing to pay their share of the pro-ject, the federal government was trying to end the project. The “Montrose Mouse” was born from an idea by Kay Orton, exemplifying the spirit of the townspeople who said “No one is going to tell Montrose what to do!” It was an idea that rallied the entire town behind one cause, to make their voices heard in Washington. According to then-governor Richard Lamm, “(The Dallas Creek Project) … has been authorized by Congress, approved by past presidents, and monies have been appropriated for its construction. It is inconceivable … that it should be capriciously and arbitrarily ter-minated.” Bob Strong, who served as Mayor in 1977, said “The symbol of the mouse is appropriate. …Shabby and be-sieged, it will not submit to the domina-tion of an unreasonable superior.” A show of support became a local phenome-non, according to Lamoine Brown, who was the Montrose director of community development at the time. In addition to badges, lapel pins, signs and banners, thousands of balloons printed with “Save the Dallas” were available all around town. It was hoped that a show of force, that “last act of defiance” exemplified by the Montrose Mouse, would have some influence over the presidential hearing. Matt Miles, a local school boy back then and now a successful businessman with fond memories of the times, has recently

commissioned a sculpture of the Mont-rose Mouse. When asked what inspired him to take on this project, Matt talked about the recent passing of Dr.Ted Dickin-son, someone he had known and respect-ed. When reading about Ted it just seemed appropriate to capture that sym-bolism, that idea of “NEVER give up!” Matt had been considering a new piece of site specific art, and the Montrose Mouse (mentioned in one of the articles about Ted) jumped out at him. Matt was in-spired by the visionaries of past years, those who set up Montrose for long term success by ensuring quality water availa-bility for both agriculture and residential use for many years to come. He did pose the question, “Did they really see that far ahead and know they were preparing Montrose for the future? Or did they just hate having Washington tell them what to do?” Maybe there was a bit of both – visionary and obstinacy – in their plan. The Montrose Mouse sculpture will cap-ture a bit of our local lore to serve as a reminder to us all of civic pride in action, and to show us how people before us worked together for the good of all. The sculpture will be a 12-foot tall sheet metal mouse with upraised fist (not the middle finger!) created by Wayne Brown and his team at Prospect Steel. Over the past 14 years, Prospect Steel has taken on several large art projects during times that con-struction work is slow – you can see their rose, antler and pine cone sculptures at Oxbow Crossing. According to Wayne, “This is my first mouse.” Why should the Montrose Mouse be-come part of our civic art? Here’s the story. During President Jimmy Carter’s admin-istration, there were nine reservoir pro-posals to solve some of Colorado’s water problems. The president opposed the reservoirs, and seven of those proposals were denied, never to be built. Of the two that were not denied at the time, the Dolores reservoir was not built for at least 20 years after the initial proposal; but one reservoir, the Dallas (now known as Ridg-way Reservoir) was supported by a tough group of creative Montrosians who were not about to take NO for an answer, even from the president.

There was a “for show” presi-dential hearing held in Montrose on April 1, 1977, making a pre-tense of hearing what the resi-dents had to say about the pro-posed reservoir. Apparently, hearings in sev-eral other communities had been disrupt-ed by protesters with bullhorns. Jim Aus-tin, who was city manager at that time, arranged for a band to be available out-side the hearings; his plan was to have the band mingle amongst the protesters and start playing, if the protesters started getting disruptive. Montrose was not go-ing to be bullied! Kay Orton, who worked for the city manager, decided to get things organized and boy, was she effective! Kay arranged for hundreds of tractors to be driven into town and parked outside the meeting at the Elks Lodge so they were visible from where the committee sat. She borrowed judges’ chairs from Denver that were par-ticularly large and imposing, for the com-mittee members. Some say the committee looked a bit like Edith Ann from the old Laugh-In TV show – feet dangling, chairs too big for them. The point was to make them look and feel small. It seemed to work. Kay commandeered a very large, heavy and solid walnut table, covered it in black velvet and set it in front of the com-mittee’s chairs. Hallmark sent 5 solid gold ashtrays (remember, that’s when people smoked indoors) just for effect – people on the committee were seen to pick up the ashtrays, realize they were 14k gold, and nudge each other. Behind the committee, very visible, was a banner of the Montrose Mouse – actually, everywhere you looked you could see the Montrose Mouse. Banners behind the witness chairs, every pole in town from the airport to the Elks Lodge; you couldn’t take a photo without getting the Mont-rose Mouse into the picture. (Jane Cham-berlain was the

artist behind the Montrose Mouse, though the creator of the original art is not known.) People all over town sported lapel pins and buttons with the Montrose Mouse, showing their support for their town, ral-lying for the cause. Bob Strong, who was Mayor at the time, remembers that most of the stores in town closed so people could attend the hearings. Then-governor Richard Lamm and sever-al state representatives were brought in as witnesses to the need for water in our part of Colorado. Elaine Barbour, the 1978 National Teacher of the Year from Mont-rose, brought in her students throughout the hearings to participate, making sure there were students in the front row at all times. The committee was effectively humbled. After the hearing, people decided Mont-rose had to do something more to get President Carter’s attention and remove the Dallas Creek Project from his budget “hit list.” Somehow Kay acquired about 3,000 empty urine sample bottles and on April 1, 1977 (yes, April Fool’s Day) mailed them

ALL to the president with a tag that read, “If you won’t let us store our own water, then would you please send us some! We need water in Colorado!” (FYI – it took a 3 cent stamp to mail each bottle.) Even now people laugh at the image of President Carter getting a desk full of urine bottles from Colorado with instructions to “fill it up” himself, if he didn’t plan on letting us get our own water. One characteristic of President Carter – he was very sensitive to being laughed at. It seems this promotional stunt did get his attention. We enjoy the benefits of the outcome of this display of civic pride every day – the Dallas Reservoir was built, while seven others were not and one was delayed 20 years, thanks to a determined town that was not going to let even a president tell them they could not have the reservoir they needed. Instead of struggling for sufficient water over the years, our area has plenty of room for growth well into the future because of those imaginative and strong-willed people. The Montrose Mouse became the unofficial mascot of Montrose for several years, even appear-

ing on town stationery. Then in about 1980, members of the city council decided it was too undignified and irreverent to be the symbol of our city. Even though most of the banners, flags, buttons and lapel pins did not show the upraised middle finger on the mouse, people always re-member the original print and mentally add it… Apparently many people wanted to keep the mouse as the official town mascot – petitions were signed and a Grand Mouse Parade was held to promote the icon. But political sensitivities pre-vailed, and we now have only a great memory of “The Montrose Mouse that Roared.” The “Montrose Mouse” – also known as the “Mouse that gave the eagle the bird” – will be added to the city’s sculpture collection as a reminder of the spirit that made our town what it is today, and an exhortation to, as Matt Miles puts it, “Never, never NEVER give up!” The mouse has been updated and is now seen carrying a suitcase representing the Colo-rado Tourism Association, embodying the spirit of adventure and independence that has long characterized Montrose, Colora-do, and its people.

Special to Art & Sol MOUNTAIN VILLAGE– Two bands, Joint Point and The Sheepdogs, will take center stage for an evening of music in Mountain Village July 8. As part of The Ride Festival, this free show runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Sunset Plaza, and is made possible by the Town of Mountain Village and The Ride Festival. ABOUT THE ARTISTS (Excerpts provided by The Ride Festival) While style and fashion are constantly changing in the pop world, The Sheepdogs remain steadfast in their commitment to rock ‘n’ roll excellence. Since their inception, the band has al-ways sought to play the kind of music they themselves love: “Pure, simple, good-time music,” as singer and guitarist Ewan Currie puts it. It’s no surprise then that the bands fifth LP, Future Nostalgia, is firmly rooted in the rock tradition that listeners have come to expect from the boys. In 1995, The String Cheese Incident bust-ed out of Telluride and onto the national scene. Just over 20 years later, there is another band percolating in the box can-

yon that feels like it’s about to pop. And this weekend, the rest of the world will get a glimpse of Joint Point as they open up the festival with a performance in Moun-tain Village’s Sunset Plaza. Joint Point counts String Cheese as a major influence, but the band’s sound leans less toward bluegrass and more to rock ‘n’ roll. Think psychedelic jam rock. TRANSPORTATION & COMMON CON-SUMPTION AREA The towns of Mountain Village and Tellu-ride are connected by a three-stage gon-

dola system starting at Town Hall Plaza in Mountain Village and ending in Telluride at Oak Street Plaza. It takes about 13 minutes to get from one town to the other. During The Ride Festi-val, gondola operating hours are from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. Friday through Sunday. Expect long lines during peak times. Dial-A-Ride and the Meadows bus will operate until 2 a.m. Friday through Sun-day, too, and the Common Consumption Area will be in effect for the Friday con-cert.
