Former Grass Valley tech building to transform into music, art, and culture hub
( — Nevada County is home to a few dedicated theaters, with the Nevada Theater, minutes away from the tech company Grass Valley, being the oldest theater west of the Mississippi. Now, there are new plans to turn Grass Valley into a central destination for music and the arts. The former tech company's owner tried to sell it during the COVID-19 pandemic, but no buyer was in sight, until InConcert Sierra purchased it at a bargain price of about $2.3 million. The purchase kicked off the construction of Crown Point Venues, but it wasn't all seamless at first. Within 36 hours of In-Concert Sierra purchasing the building, Mother Nature had other plans. 'We signed the papers on March 3, 2023, closing the deal, and sometime that weekend, within about 36 hours, right where we're standing, the roof of the building collapsed,' Artistic Director of In-Concert Sierra, Ken Hardin, said. A powerful storm rolled in, dumping several feet of snow that the grass valley community hadn't seen in years, which caused sections of the building's roof to collapse. 'It wound up being just Mother Nature saying, let's get this project started, because we were going to raise the roof here anyway,' Hardin added. Driven by resilience, Hardin and his team sprang into action, giving the building a fresh start that is projected to cost $20 million. 'InConcert Sierra is primarily a concert presenting organization. We don't build buildings. We don't operate buildings. So, we've had a huge learning curve,' Hardin said. 'We have a wonderful board of directors that's been very involved in shepherding the project.' Crown Point Venues is set to house three venues all under one roof. From a conference center with enough seating for at least 400 people. '4,400 square feet, which will be available for galas, fundraisers, banquets, and also for corporate trainings, government meetings, any kind of public assembly that people want to have,' said Hardin. '…and that'll really be the economic driver of the building, that space will support the building economically.' To a black box theater designed with flexible seating options to suit just about every type of performance. 'This wall surface doesn't touch this wall surface anywhere, so sound can't travel, vibration can't travel through, and sound can't right, so we don't bleed into another venue,' Hardin said. And the crown jewel of them all, an acoustic concert hall. 'Basically, means that the performer performs without amplification, and the audience experience is that whatever they do on stage sounds the same anywhere in the room, anywhere you are in the room without amplification,' Hardin explained. Hardin said the concert hall is aimed at attracting world-class talent. 'And personally, as a musician, this kind of space is exactly the kind of space that musicians dream of performing in, a beautiful acoustic, a large stage,' Hardin said. 'We could have easily 700 people in this room with performers on the stage, an orchestra, and an audience of 540.' Roughly $15 million of the $20 million has already been raised, and they're working to raise the remaining amount with an anticipated opening in 2026. Any music enthusiast looking to get involved can visit the project's website to sign up for their fundraising event, which includes a behind-the-scenes tour of their transformation.

‘They don't need me': Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she's done with politics
It's been more than two years since Jacinda Ardern unexpectedly resigned as prime minister of New Zealand after juggling being a first-time mom while navigating the aftermath of a domestic terror attack at two mosques, a deadly volcanic eruption and the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Ardern lives in Boston, where she's a fellow at Harvard University, and she seems to be in a reflection phase when it comes to politics. Her memoir, 'A Different Kind of Power,' hits shelves on Tuesday, several months after a documentary about her time as prime minister premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Ahead of the release of the book — which chronicles her unlikely rise to New Zealand's top leadership position, the ups and downs of her time in office, and her unexpected resignation — Ardern did an interview on CBS' 'Sunday Morning' program and made something pretty clear: She's done with politics. At one point during Ardern's interview, Robert Costa, the CBS 'Sunday Morning' national correspondent, asked the former prime minister if she would ever consider returning to politics in New Zealand. Ardern responded with a wide smile and zero hesitation. 'No, I think if you make the decision to leave, then you've made the decision to leave,' she said. Costa pointed to leaders like Winston Churchill, who served as prime minister of the United Kingdom twice. 'Never say never,' he said. 'In this case, say never,' Ardern said with a laugh. 'I think also, for me, I have such great faith in all the people that I worked with and was lucky enough to work with. They're wonderful. They're doing a great job, and they don't need me,' she added. Distanced from politics, Ardern said she's been enjoying her time in the U.S. and has appreciated the opportunity to be 'a normal family.' The former prime minister reflected on her effort to lead with empathy and kindness — an approach that simultaneously inspired praise and resistance from her constituents. 'That principle of kindness, it's something we teach our kids, why shouldn't we role model that in the way that we conduct ourselves in politics?' Ardern said on 'Sunday Morning.' 'There are different ways to lead, but I hope you also see that some of those character traits that we perhaps bring to leadership that we might believe to be weaknesses — imposter syndrome, or even empathy — actually are incredible strengths," she added. In 'Prime Minister,' a documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, Ardern called herself a 'reluctant prime minister,' as the Deseret News reported. Early on in the film, she recalled how she feared having all of the responsibility land on her shoulders. But she took on the role with confidence, and over five years, championed issues including gun control, climate change, child poverty reduction, raised minimum wage, paid parental leave and mental health. She had substantial support as she navigated crisis after crisis as prime minister while embracing motherhood, but even still, the cumulative effect of the challenges she faced in office took a toll on her, ultimately leading to a surprise resignation. Near the end of 'Prime Minister,' in a present-day interview, Ardern wondered if she had maybe subconsciously been planning her exit all along. At the time of her resignation, her favor in the polls had declined significantly. The political climate in New Zealand was also intensifying — protests had erupted on Parliament's lawn over her COVID-19 mandates — and Ardern believed the temperature needed to cool down. She figured that if she stepped down and removed herself from the equation, perhaps some of her accomplishments wouldn't be overturned. In 'Prime Minister,' she stands behind her handling of the pandemic, noting that she would prefer to explain why she did too much rather than too little. 'Save people's lives and keep everyone together,' she said of her responsibilities. 'I did one, but I didn't quite manage to do the other.' Ardern ultimately resigned at the start of 2023, with her sights set on spending more time with family. She married her partner, TV broadcaster Clarke Gayford, and became a dual fellow at Harvard. Now, with politics in the rear view mirror, Ardern is focused on spreading a message of compassion and optimism — a theme throughout both the documentary and her new memoir. 'Optimism is a courageous act,' she said during her appearance at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. 'It's not passive, you have to keep fighting for it. ... You have to act on its behalf. Please maintain the courage of optimism, we need it now more than ever.'
