Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Portrait photographer Mark Seliger has sold his Richard Neutra-designed house in Los Feliz for $4.52 million -- just above the asking price of $4.5 million.

Considered a prime example of Neutra's Midcentury Modern home designs, the 1949 Alpha Wirin House was restored to maintain its architectural integrity. Wood ceilings and built-in furniture grace the interiors.

The 2,262 square feet of living space contains family and living rooms, a dining area, an office/den, two bedrooms and three bathrooms. Balconies expand the living space outdoors.

Walls of glass allow views of the cityscape and surrounding hillsides.

The nearly three-quarter acre of grounds is planted with palms and succulents. Steps lead to a swimming pool below the two-story house.

Seligers portrait subjects have included President Obama, singer-songwriter Mick Jagger and Nirvanas Kurt Cobain. Seliger has shot covers for publications such as Rolling Stone and GQ.

He paid $1.575 million for the house more than a decade ago and worked with designer Mark Haddawy on the restoration.

Aaron Kirman of John Aaroe Group was the listing agent.

A remodeling project beginning Wednesday at the West Boulder Senior Center will do away with several of the meeting rooms at the back of the facility and replace them with human services offices.

The work, set to continue through March, will also include the application of fresh paint, lighting upgrades and the addition of soundproofing in efforts to improve the spaces available to seniors, according to the city.

Despite assurances that the project will not affect services such as Boulder Meals on Wheels, nor programs hosted by the center, 909 Arapahoe Ave., some local seniors are miffed that regular users were not consulted about the project. Furthermore, they are concerned about the lack of notice for the remodeling, formally announced in a news release Monday.

"They are doing this without consulting anybody or getting any senior input," Win Nolin, 83, said Tuesday.

Nolin, a former president of the Boulder Senior Advisory Committee, said he only heard about the remodeling project through word of mouth when attending a dinner event at the West Senior Center's Caf Classico last week. That led him to email the City Council on Saturday.

The message read, in part, "Our West Senior Center was built 35 years ago for serving the needs of our seniors and I think that our seniors need to have an input on any changes that are proposed to the center. Our seniors that have served others and helped build the community need to have a voice in these matters."

On Monday, Nolin said, he and some other seniors met with Betty Kilsdonk, Boulder's acting senior service manager, Human Services Director Karen Rahn and City Manager Jane Brautigam about their concerns. He described the meetings as "stalemates" that were not productive.

"They have decided what's best for the seniors, it seems to me," he said.

Kilsdonk on Tuesday acknowledged that public input was not sought on the remodeling work but said that is not uncommon for small-scale projects like this.

"This is a fairly routine remodel that the city does all the time," Kilsdonk said. "Though the press release came out earlier this week, city staff have been contacting customers since December who were using those (meeting) rooms and found new homes for their meetings."

WASHINGTON -

Eight children, all of them siblings, were treated for possible hypothermia Tuesday after they were found cold, wet and shivering on a Northeast D.C. doorstep.

The oldest told the Good Samaritans who discovered them just before 9 a.m. that they had been kicked off three different Metro buses and were just trying to get to school.

The eight children were all taken to Children's National Medical Center where they were treated for several hours before being released into the care of their mother.

The children, some of them crying, were first noticed by a woman shoveling snow from the walk in front of her house. She looked across the street and saw them all dressed in their school clothes huddled together on a Rhode Island Avenue doorstep.

The youngest was just four years old, and when the woman went to see if she could help, the children told her an incredible story.

Kevin Gadson and Acurah White live directly across the street from where they first saw the children.

"They're scared, they're shivering, they're shaking, they're crying, they're frozen, they can't even move off the porch," said White in an interview Tuesday.

So White and her boyfriend gathered them up and safely took the eight children -- ages 4 to 14 -- across busy Rhode Island Avenue to their home.

"We had to carry them to my house and warm them up, and even when we get them into the house and put blankets on them, they are still crying, shivering, said White. It's cold.

The Frederick County, Maryland, councilman's name was published Tuesday in newspapers, websites, news and opinion blogs and seemingly every corner of the Internet after he threatened to sue his local newspaper if it dared to publish his name without his permission.

"Use my name again unauthorized and you'll be paying for an attorney," the Republican official told a Frederick News-Post reporter in a Facebook post.

The paper responded by ridiculing his demand.

"I just don't know how to respond to a request that stupid," Terry Headlee, managing editor of the 33,000 daily circulation newspaper, told The Associated Press on Tuesday in a telephone interview.

The News-Post did respond by posting an advance look at its Sunday editorial on the newspaper's website. It pointed out that Delauter's demand ignores, among other things, the First Amendment right of a free press.

But the newspaper could not resist mining the rich opportunities for sarcasm that Delauter's demand offered.

There was the editorial's headline: "Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter, Kirby Delauter."

And the body of the editorial, describing the laughter that his demand provoked and exploring the ways The News-Post might henceforth refer to Delauter without using his name. Perhaps "K---- D-------." Or "Councilman (Unauthorized)."

Capping it off, the first letter of each paragraph spelled out: K-I-R-B-Y-D-E-L-A-U-T-E-R.
