Celebrating The ‘Hood
Park Hill Home Tour & Street Fair Set For Sunday, Sept. 12 Staff Report
Park Hill, with roots dating back to the end of the 19th century, is known for its diverse style of homes — ranging from historic Victorian and the classic Denver Square, to modest mid-century. Residents and visitors alike love the tree-lined streets and parkways, the meticulously maintained gardens, charming strips of retail shops and restaurants interspersed within the residential areas, and the neighborhood’s central and convenient location. The Park Hill Home Tour began in 1978, the brainchild of a local realtor designed to showcase the rich history and diverse architecture of the neighborhood. Over the years, the ticketed event has evolved into an important community fundraiser and tradition. Running concurrently the day of the Home Tour is a free Street Fair, which features local vendors, food trucks, live entertainment, children’s activities, and a wine and beer garden. This year’s Home Tour & Street Fair, set for Sunday, Sept. 12, once again celebrates our neighborhood, our greater community and all that brings us together. The past 18 months have been tough, but we are slowly emerging from our COVID-19-induced cocoons. Thus the theme this year is Metamorphosis. In the interest of health and safety, this year’s event will take place entirely outdoors. Check out page 6 for a sneak preview of the six homes on the tour that exemplify the variety of architecture and the creativity of the homeowners. Tickets are available at parkhillhometour.org. And be sure to head over to the free street fair at Montview and Forest Parkway to enjoy a day of fun and community.

The McAuliffe International Safe Routes to School project, designed to improve the safety routes for Park Hill students on their way to and from school, has been delayed for up to a year. The $1.2 million Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI), project was announced earlier this year, with an anticipated completion date as soon as this October, as reported in the March issue of the Greater Park Hill News. DOTI representative Dana Hoffman says while the design of the improvements is complete, “current conditions in the construction industry” prompted the city to bundle the McAuliffe project with another similar project to improve safety routes to Cole Elementary School, in the Cole neighborhood at 32nd Avenue and Humboldt Street. “We now anticipate we will have a

Continuing efforts to shut down the site have drawn increasing criticism from other neighbors, including in social media forums. Many neighbors are volunteering and providing meals to the residents of the camp, which opened in June and is scheduled to shut down at the end of December. “The overwhelming majority of Park Hill has been welcoming— ma k ing welcome signs, volunteering, dropping off donations … getting our Andrew DiCarlo, lead coordinator of the Park Hill Safe Outdoor Space, kids involved in helpwith assistant coordinator Oscar Hernandez.

Chandler says he’s disheartened by the latest lawsuit. “In spite of an overwhelming outpouring of support from Park Hill neighbors, a handful of neighbors want to put this important service model to an end,” he said. “Their suit likely won’t even impact the SOS in their own neighborhood since that is set to close by the end of December. Instead, their actions could impact future Safe Outdoor Space residents who will be stuck outside without the critical services and resources these spaces offer. “It’s a sad reality to me that people living safely and comfortably in their own homes would go so far to prevent others from having just a small ounce of stability.”

contractor selected by end of year, work through our procurement approvals in following months, begin construction next summer, and complete the project in fall 2022,” Hoffman said. The McAuliffe Safe Routes to School project will focus on improvements to sidewalks and intersections that are most frequently used by students walking to the school, at 26th Avenue and Holly Street. Included are areas between 23rd and 26th Avenues, from Holly Street to Monaco Parkway — with a particular focus on the intersection of 23rd and Kearney. Highlights include: • Building new sidewalks where none currently exist to fill in gaps • Upgrading pedestrian ramps • Adding new concrete refuge islands at the intersection of Kearney Street & 23rd Avenue, which will carve out a safe place for pedestrians to stop, if needed, before continuing to cross the street, as well as installing a new street light to enhance the pedestrian experience
Dueling PH Golf Course Measures On The Ballot
Denver voters will weigh in on two competing measures with direct implications to the future of the conservation easement protecting the Park Hill Golf Course land. The two questions — which as of press time had not yet been assigned ballot numbers — will be on the November ballot. The first measure is sponsored by the group Yes for Parks and Open Space, which wants to preserve the conservation easement protecting the closed 155-acre golf course in northeast Park Hill, at 35th and Colorado Boulevard. The second measure is being funded by Westside Investment Partners, which purchased the property two years ago. The company wants the city to remove the conservation easement to allow development on the property. Proponents of both ballot measures will make presentations during the September monthly meeting of Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. The meeting will be held via Zoom on Thursday, Sept. 2 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Go to greaterparkhill.org/ join-us/community-meetings/ for the full agenda and to access the meeting.
Hancock Pushing $450M Bond Package
The Denver City Council has approved $450 million worth of General Obligation (GO) bonds be referred to voters for the November ballot. The package includes $190 million for a controversial new 10,000-seat arena at the National Western Complex northwest of Park Hill. Mayor Michael B. Hancock first referenced the plan for the arena a little more than a month ago during his July 25 annual State of the City speech, promoting it as

helping to boost the economy and provide good-paying construction jobs. However, many nearby residents and neighborhood groups have expressed strong opposition. Four of nine city council members opposed referring the arena project to voters, including Candi CdeBaca, who represents the district where the arena would be built. The four additional GO Bond questions that will appear on the November ballot include: • $104 million for facilities, including new libraries in Westwood and Globeville • $63 million for transportation projects, including sidewalk construction and new bike lanes • $54 million for parks and recreation projects, including playgrounds, athletic fields and a public pool • #39 million for facilities for people experiencing homelessness In all, the GO bond package includes 80 separate projects. A complete list is at denvergov.org/finance. Ballots for the Nov. 2 election will be mailed to Denver voters beginning Oct. 8.

When you’re near a marsh or a pond or a swamp or a river, that loud, barking kwok! that you hear flying overhead at dusk signals a Black-Crowned Night Heron looking for dinner. Studies suggest that these black-crowned beauties feed at night because they are dominated by other herons and egrets by day. Scientists list the Black-Crowned Night Heron populations as stable, though their numbers probably declined in the 20th century owing to habitat loss and the effects of DDT and other pesticides. This heron was photographed at Bluff Lake by Mark Silverstein.

Imagine Denver What’s On Your List For Preservation? By Cara DeGette Editor, GPHN
There was a time when old Denverites could no more imagine the Mile High City without Celebrity Sports Center, or the old Cooper Theater, the Colorado Mine Company — or old Elitch’s for that matter. Those landmarks are long gone, so these days, imagine Denver without El Chapultepec or Lakeside Amusement Park. Imagine driving down Colfax with no Bastien’s “Home of the Sugar Steak” to remind you you’re almost home, and maybe hungry for some Frank Sinatra. Imagine no Aztlan Theater or Wellshire Inn or Sakura Square. The organization Historic Denver doesn’t want you to have to imagine life without them. Last month the group announced 50 places that made its final cut to highlight — and take steps for actions that will help to preserve them. The places that were nominated didn’t necessarily need to
be at imminent risk of the wrecking ball — though some are. But they represent a broad and eclectic list of places important to the story of Denver — places that deserve their place in history. They include legacy businesses, civic assets, iconic architecture, remarkable residences and arts and entertainment venues. Of the 50, six are in Park Hill, or just on the outskirts. They are highlighted here. The complete list of 50 can be seen at 50actions.historicdenver.org/places. As you are reading, think to yourself: What additional places in Park Hill would you nominate for historic preservation? Send your submissions to editor@greaterparkhill.org, including the address and brief description of the property, and an explanation of what, in your opinion, makes it notable and worthy of preserving. Submissions will be included in a future issue of the Greater Park Hill News.
Stedman Elementary School. Photo by Cara DeGette
Whatley Chapel 1800 Pontiac St.
Whatley Chapel was built in 1962 by architect Stanley E. Morse (he helped to design Red Rocks). There are 39 stained glass windows in the chapel designed by the French artist Gabriel Loire, who was a leader in the use of “slab glass.” The Memorial Tower houses the Charles S. Hill Memorial Carillon. At the time of its construction, it was the only authentic carillon in the State of Colorado, with 30 bells. It is believed to be the only carillon in the world in which all of the bells may be seen from the ground. (The Chapel and three other buildings were recently purchased by Denver Public Schools as part of its Denver School of the Arts expansion.)
Bear Mountain and Monkey House The Denver Zoo, City Park
Designed by Victor Borchert with planning assistance from Saco Reink DeBoar, Bear Mountain was constructed in 1918 and completed in 1919. It was the first “natural habitat” animal enclosure in the United States. Bear Mountain was a prototype to be implemented in zoos through-
out the United States thereafter. Since its completion, Bear Mountain was the home to grizzly bears, polar bears and Himalayan bears. The last bears moved out in April, 2019. The facility is vacant and, according to the nomination, currently underappreciated for its pioneering concept in the design of 20th century zoos.
Stedman Elementary 2940 Dexter St.
There are few other schools as notable as Stedman. It was essentially ground zero in the landmark court case that went to the Supreme Court — Keyes v. School District Number One, which struck down de facto school segregation in the United States. The records of this case are today held by the National Archives branch here in Denver (rediscovering-black-history.blogs. archives.gov/2018/07/31/keyes-...) Today it is a diverse, multicultural school — a testament to change and progress. Preserving this school is key for the city but it — along with other historic school structures in the city — is aging fast.

Moorish Revival House 1585 Glencoe St.
Brothers Ramon and José González were the architects, designers and contractors for this rare, fun, and adventurous Denver Spanish & Moorish Revival house, built in 1938 and full of color and various textures. It has a flat roof with parapet, stucco wall, Moorish windows, terra cotta surrounds and elaborate door-pilasters. The interior has a courtyard with skylights, murals, a fountain and fireplace. The brothers both attended City College in Chihuahua and moved to Colorado in 1918. Ramon González was a photographer, designer, and contractor, and his historic photos are in the archives at History Colorado. José González was one of the designers and makers of the sculpture relief work of Denver’s historic Mayan Theater, and his sculptures can still be seen in City Park and Lakeside Amusement Park.

borhood. Built in 1889, the Robinson House is listed on the National Register as a significant example of the Queen Anne style of architecture, which was a popular style for residential architecture at the time of construction. Many of these style homes have been lost in the neighborhood. The home was offered for sale in John Cook Jr. 1880s residential development for just $5,000. Jay A. Robinson, the home’s first owner, was described in city directories as a grocer and an “inventor.” At the time the house was constructed the neighborhood was connected to downtown by a horse-powered street car. It has had several owners since its construction and more recently housed restaurants, including Kate’s and The Garden (now closed). It was threatened with demolition earlier this year, but its new owners have since expressed the desire for preservation.

tween Monaco and Quebec Street was once its own little commercial shopping district. A streetcar station had been built at Colfax and Poplar in 1932 (known as the “Poplar Loop”) and in the decade that followed, several one-story brick shops sprang up nearby. The art deco brick shops on the southwest corner of Colfax and Quebec were built in 1940 by John H. Nicholson — one of the founders of the Gideon Bible, which became Gideons International. Collectively, these shops served the needs of commuters who utilized the streetcar, with such businesses as Tom Thumb (a grocery store) and an ice cream parlor. One business in particular was a prominent part of Denver’s fast-food culture. It was one of the 12 Rockybilt stands in Denver, known for its super-thin cheeseburgers with pickles and signature Rockybilt sauce on a soft white bun. The streetcars were taken out of service in 1950 and the Poplar Loop station was demolished to make way for a gas station in the 1960s. The brick shops have remained and have been home to several small local businesses over the years. Only one tenant is left in the building — Buf-
falo Bill’s Wings & Things. The rest of the structure is currently empty and has been the victim of vandals.

1900 Glencoe St.
Adam and Sylvia Doud
This charming Tudor, built in 1923, had humble beginnings until its metamorphosis began in 2019. The project was substantial. The original two bedroom/two bath home was transformed by reimagining the main floor, adding two half levels over the existing garage, and finishing the basement to accommodate an active family of four. The Doud’s love the Tudor style of their home and wanted the addition to blend into the existing house. Their attention to detail is apparent throughout the home. They maintained the coved ceilings, complemented the original built-ins with new ones, and added custom touches that make it their own. It’s hard to see where the original home ends and the addition begins. In the remodel, one of the main floor bedrooms became an office with a Murphy bed (built by Sylvia) for guests. The former primary bedroom was transformed into a family room open to the remodeled and expanded kitchen. The original basement stairs were moved to enlarge the kitchen. French doors open to the newly landscaped patio. All appliances, except the range, are hidden behind facades to match the cabinets.

Metamorphosis
The 43rd Annual Park Hill Home Tour Home descriptions by Mary Salsich and Emily Morgan • Renderings by Marc Applebaum • Photos by Virtuance
This year’s Park Hill Home Tour and Street Fair is Sunday, Sept. 12. Here is a sneak preview of the six homes on the tour this year. Tickets are available at parkhillhometour. org. (Check out page 1 for more on the Home Tour and info about the free Street Fair.)
1771 Jasmine St.
Kyle and Sukhi Danforth purchased this unassuming but absolutely charming 1925 Bungalow on Elm Street in 2015. Shortly thereafter, they hired City Side Remodeling to help transform the home. The Danforth’s vision was to undo some of the updates that had been made over the years in order to bring the property closer to its original layout and design. While the couple made some other improvements on the main floor — updating the fireplace surround and painting the kitchen cabinets a clean, cozy cream color, for example — the other major area of renovation took place in the basement. By completely reimagining the footprint of the space, they carved out designated areas for a beautiful guest room, office, and family gathering space. The laundry room and second bathroom were also fully updated, and an out-of-date, unused sauna was removed to create even more space. Fresh landscaping in the front and back yards complete the makeover. With its seamless blending of renewed original layouts plus fresh, contemporary design, this house is an ideal place for friends and family to gather, which is sure to come in handy as the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, Asha, earlier this year.
Rebecca Allen and Chris Cradick You can see right away that Rebecca Allen and Chris Cradick’s Jasmine Street home has gone through a transformation — the new staircase, in its own, windowed addition, attests to that. However, the home’s original footprint and character has been fastidiously maintained. This was crucial to the homeowners, who love the historic feel of the houses both on their block specifically and in Park Hill in general. With the goal of maintaining that historic charm, the couple did a complete renovation of the 1928 Tudor. The contemporary design greets you as soon as you step in the door into the large, comfortable living room. Just beyond, in the same open-concept space, the sleek, clean kitchen beckons. Wooden beams hold up a heightened ceiling and hint at how the rooms were previously divided. The new kitchen includes a massive island and custom cabinetry. The strategically placed staircase window casts light into the large room. The oohs and ahs continue up the light-filled staircase to the “half-pop” primary suite. At the top of a beautiful wooden staircase, a reading nook offers a place to sit and relax in the sunlight. Behind it, the large primary bedroom has windows overlooking the refreshed backyard landscaping, as well as a walk-in closet and master bathroom complete with shower and soaking tub.

Lucy Roberts
Since 2015, Lucy Roberts and her family have loved living in their 1911 Craftsman Bungalow. As the three kids grew older, more space was needed. Thanks to the architect, Sarah Sexton and General Contractor, Tom Weaver, the home was transformed in 2020 from a functional one to one with an open flow, creating a welcoming and warm home for family and friends to gather. The welcoming front porch extends the entire width of the home. Entering the living room, you are greeted by the traditional built-ins of a Craftsman separating the living and dining rooms. The dining room became an extension of the remodeled kitchen. With bright white cabinets, a massive island and marble countertops, the kitchen encourages gathering. Even before COVID-19 forced many to work from home, Roberts longed for a home office with room to spread out. Little did she know how timely her renovation plans would be. An office was added to the back of the house, off the kitchen. With windows on two sides and French doors to the back patio on the third, the room could double as a sunroom. The view from the desk in the office is inspiring no matter what Roberts is working on – it looks out into the newly landscaped backyard.

Susi Tattershall & Ken Carlson
This home is a quintessential split-level Mid-Century Modern built in 1952. Susi Tattershall and Ken Carlson bought the home in 2012 as only the third owners. They have lovingly restored it over the years. Tattershall, a pipe organ restorer, knows the value of restoration to a home’s (or piece of furniture’s) original beauty. Combining the mid-century interiors with antiques collected throughout the years gives the home a delightful and comfortable charm. Upon moving in, they immediately removed the carpet in the upper level. The existing oak floors were sanded and refinished to a honey hue. Then, 60 years of dirty wax buildup was removed from the foyer tile and polished to a glossy sheen. Plants in the original indoor planters are bathed in sunshine from the skylights. They add a touch of green year-round, especially in winter. Dated carpet was also removed from the sunken living room and replaced with tile. Original neon tube lighting is hidden on the “light shelf ” above the fireplace. The cozy den includes lots of originals: built-in shelves along an entire wall and massive French doors to the covered patio.
This 1949 French Tudor has been totally transformed inside. Prior to John Moinzad buying the home in 2002, squatters inhabited it for a couple of years. Nothing remained of the original interior, so Moinzad decided he had a blank canvas to work with. His goal was to make the house comfortable for multiple people to enjoy. Moinzad’s home is a collection of things that have meaning to him and make it unique. Upon entering, one first notices the home is bright and colorful, including the painted hardwood floors. Furniture coverings are tranquil tones to complement the antiques and distinctive and whimsical light fixtures. Moinzad included several wall-mounted flower vessels to bring an air of nature into the environment that complements the cheerful artwork. The main floor of the home is designed for guests with an open flow between living room, dining room and kitchen. The kitchen is a visual delight, with massive counter space with seating and open shelving to display Moinzad’s collection of kitchen treasures. The back door leads to a covered patio and backyard in one direction, and a charming, secluded courtyard in another.

Get Your Vaccine, Get A Shopping Spree
It’s not a million bucks, but burritos and other free stuff is nothing to sneeze at. In late August the State of Colorado began offering gift cards and vouchers to anyone receiving their first or second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine at participating stateoperated vaccine sites. The sites are offering offering $100 Walmart gift cards and $20 Chipotle gift cards while supplies last, as well as $50 Colorado Parks and Wildlife vouchers, to encourage eligible individuals and families to get fully vaccinated by the fall. (This follows $1 million drawings from earlier in the year that five lucky Coloradans got, along with their vaccines.) Moderately and severely immunocompromised people who are recommended to receive an additional vaccine dose are also eligible for a gift card or vouchers. Check covid19.colorado.gov/coloradocomebackcash for details about incentives being offered at specific vaccine sites.

Younger students drew inspiration from their personal cultural roots. They stitched a quilt of many languages, sculpted ceramic masks, created block print illustrations of cultural stories, and even “yarn bombed” the DAVA courtyard. Another group of middle school students created a “Local Legends” series of ceramic action figures with their own backstories. All of DAVA’s exhibitions are free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, or by appointment. For more info, email gallery@davarts.org.

Be An Artist At the Airport
Denver International Airport (DEN) is actively seeking four artists or artist teams to create original suspended public artworks for spaces within the airport’s new concourse expansion areas. The $1.5 billion concourse expansion program is extending all three concourses and building 39 new gates, adding new shops, restaurants and art. Four unique locations have been identified within the newly designed expansion areas for the artwork: Concourse A-West, Concourse B-West, Concourse B-East, and Concourse C-East. The airport is accepting applications from Colorado and international artists for all four project sites, with budgets ranging from $300,000 to $2.5 million. There are two deadlines for applications in September. Artists interested in applying should check out this site for details: flydenver.com/about/art_culture/ public_art/art_opportunities

Honoring Men And Women With Courage To Make A Difference By Penfield W. Tate III For the GPHN
What is It? It is standing in front of grocery stores, or in church parking lots collecting signatures for the cause in which you believe. It is pursuing a course of action and a change of policy. It is pursuing the right cause, even if unpopular or not supported by others. The ravages of climate change are made more plain daily as reflected in persistent and multi-year droughts, mudslides continually closing I-70 in Glenwood Canyon, rivers running dry, floods, hurricanes and rampant forest fires that caused Denver to have the worst air in the world one day in August. Government is slow to respond so It compels people to stand in the parking lots of grocery stores, churches and in parks collecting nearly 17,000 petition signatures to push for more composting and recycling as a first step to stem the tide of climate change. If government won’t act, It requires that they do. It compels people to appear before city council to testify about, complain, and advocate for the plight of the unhoused in our community. They see people sleeping on parking strips, sidewalks, in public parks and other areas and are moved and outraged. It compels others to be outspoken in their opposition to the sweeps of the unhoused and forcibly removing people from what “homes” they have. In response, the City Council says it doesn’t have the authority to set policy. The mayor’s office appears committed to a combination of strategies that fails the eye test as being ineffective and non-responsive to a growing problem. It moves people to push for a change of policies and a new approach.
Leadership on display The entirety of Afghanistan is overrun by armed Taliban jihadists. They have taken over city after city. They have scared off the established government. And they are frightening the population, and the world. They and we are in this position because It compelled President Biden to honor the commitment to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan made by former President Trump. Many of Biden’s military leaders disagree with the strategy and many Americans are experiencing the déjà vu of our retreating from Vietnam nearly 50 years ago. It compels Biden to acknowledge that this new policy and approach, however badly it appears and feels, is a recognition of the past failures of military and foreign policy and a desire to reverse course for the sake of the future. Many years ago It compelled the mayor of a “liberal” city to advocate for the rights
of everyone and to make it the policy of the city to prohibit discrimination against member of the LGBTQ+ community as the right thing to do — no matter how unpopular or high the personal and political price. It is sometimes in rare supply but vitally necessary for our society – leadership. And, we have seen some amazing examples of leadership over time. You don’t have to be an elected official to possess It, just the courage, commitment and integrity to do so. The volunteers in the parking lots collecting signatures know they may hear more noes than yesses, but it does not matter. Their leadership is on display by fighting for their vision where we are not destroying our own planet. The moneyed interests oppose them, but they hope we wake up in time to support necessary change for our own sakes and for that of our kids and grandkids — and the planet. Our neighbors crowd city council meetings urging for a solution to the plight of the unhoused. Their leadership compelled them to pursue one unsuccessful ballot measure; expect more in the absence of real solutions from our government. President Biden knew it was time to accept the reality of a failed foreign policy 20 years in the making. His decision was intended to prepare for a new way forward that had to begin with acknowledging the failures of the past. That’s called leadership.
The right thing to do When my father, Penfield Tate II, fought in the 1970s to amend the City of Boulder’s human rights ordinance to prohibit discrimination against people because of what was then called their “sexual orientation,” he thought it was the right thing to do. My father was amazed, stunned and personally hurt by the opposition launched by narrow minds fueled by homophobia and bigotry. He survived the repeal of the amendment and a recall effort, but lost his reelection badly. He was often advised to abandon the effort to pass the amendment but said his integrity compelled him to push forward regardless of the consequences. On Aug. 21, my father’s leadership was recognized posthumously when the Boulder municipal building was renamed the “Penfield W. Tate II Municipal Building.” Leadership. Happy school year. Let’s start training the next group of leaders. Penfield W. Tate III is an attorney in Denver. He represented Park Hill in the Colorado House of Representatives from 1997 to 2000, and in the State Senate from 2001 to February 2003. He lives in Park Hill.

Hello, Beautiful Colorado’s aspen leaves start turning bright gold and orange in mid-September, with trees in higher elevations turning faster than lower elevations. Excellent locations to see Colorado’s beautiful fall colors on a weekend drive include Kenosha Pass off of Highway 285, the Squaw Pass road from Bergen Park to Echo Lake, the Peak to Peak Highway, and the Guanella Pass road above Georgetown. Both Guanella Pass and Kenosha Pass offer trailheads that allow for hiking into the aspen groves. Venturing further, the section of I-70 running through East Vail offers seemingly endless groves of spectacular golden aspens, as do the hiking trails above the Bachelor Gulch section of the Beaver Creek resort. If you’re heading to the mountains on weekends, be sure to leave extra early to avoid the traffic. Photo by Reid Neureiter

Chair, GPHN, Inc.
In August, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its 6th assessment report. It is grim. The time is up. We must achieve net zero emissions by 2050 to avoid a climate disaster. Our current goals and policies will not achieve this requirement. Without immediate and large-scale reductions, the world will not keep global warming to under 1.5 degrees Celsius — and it is possible that we will go over 2 degrees Celsius. Without deep reductions in CO2 the planet will exceed 2 degrees Celsius this century. The report highlights several key takeaways: 1. Scientists are 95 percent sure that human activity is the cause for rising temperatures 2. We have not seen this high of carbon dioxide levels in over 800,000 years 3. Sea levels will continue to rise 4. Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are melting, and glaciers are receding on all parts of the globe 5. Human-induced climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region of the globe In June, the International Energy Agency (IEA) issued this statement: “The world has a viable pathway to building a global energy sector with net-zero emissions in 2050, but it is narrow and requires an unprecedented transformation of how energy is produced, transported and used globally.” The use of internal combustion engines, the agency notes, must end by 2035, including all investments in fossil fuels. We did not arrive to where we are today without being warned for decades.“Half of the carbon dioxide currently in the Earth’s atmosphere was emitted over the last 30 years,” notes the site 350.org. Further, “the fossil fuel industry has been wasting our time with misinformation, just to make profits at the expense of peoples lives.” Next month the United Nations Climate Change Conference will host the 26th Conference of the Parties in Scotland, with approximately 30,000 expected in attendance. The goal of this year’s conference is to focus on keeping warming within the 1.5 degree reach. Key goals will focus on: • Focusing countries on ambitious phaseout of coal, curtail deforestation, accelerating the switch to electric vehicles and
investing in renewables • Protecting and restoring ecosystems and building defenses, warning systems and resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid loss of homes, livelihoods, and lives • Developed countries must make good on their promise to mobilize $100 billion in climate finance • Finalizing the Paris playbook and accelerating action As much as the IPCC report is warning us that we are on the brink of irreversible change — and yes, we do need to panic — we still have a small window of time. Hopefully this bit of panic drives each of us to dramatic changes personally, to new innovations in technology and demand for meaningful policy. It is vital that each of us taps into the power we each hold to change the outcome. We all vote for companies every day when we choose to purchase their products. Are you researching what environmental policies they uphold? Do they have a plan to reduce their own emissions and how will they do that? Will you walk away from some of your favorite places if they continue to contribute to the problem? Upgrade your own home to energy efficient appliances. Begin writing your plan to convert your house to a zero-carbon home. Turn your yard into a low-water maintenance natural space. Think about purchasing an electric vehicle. Utilize public transportation. Buy less and buy second hand. Ditch the bottled water. Turn down the thermostat. Buy from local organic farmers. Vote! Individual actions are needed and needed in collective critical mass and we must also demand immediate and thoughtful policy change from local, state and federal government today. While you use your purchasing dollars please also use your power to vote. The scale and speed in which we need to reach net zero cannot happen without you. Let’s work together to create the future we want for those we will leave behind. Tracey MacDermott is chair of the board of Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. She was trained as a Climate Reality Leader in 2017, and is currently the Statewide Co-Chair of the Climate Reality Project for the 100% Committed Campaign.

Smoke Takes A Toll Wildfires Added To The Weirdness Of Transition By Anya Nitczynski For the GPHN
As much as I (and probably most of my peers) are dreading it, summer is coming to a close. To me, it feels like summer never really started. Something about a covidstricken school year, maybe. I barely got to go back to school before it was summer again. It also feels like summer isn’t coming to a proper close. And I have a theory. I think we can blame it on the recent smokiness of our city blowing in from faraway wildfires (dun dun duuuun). Not only is the awful air quality taking a toll on all of us and our lungs, it’s stunting our perception of seasons passing. Even though the smoke has mostly (if not fully) cleared now, the impact it made isn’t. Not being able to see the sky the final couple of weeks of our summer break made for a rough transition from summer into the school year and fall. Normally we’d have clear skies slowly getting cloudier to prepare us for the transitions of this time of year. Plus, it’s a tough change to accept as is, even without smoke.
Mobile Notary Open Now
Overall though, I’ve seen it make little changes for everyone in my life. My grandma couldn’t go for her usual walks because of the air quality. Soccer practices were halted for my brother. And for me, I’ve just been a little sad about it. Not the biggest deal. I know. I got home from a trip to the East Coast to a starless night sky. I love being able to see the stars at night and all the smoke made it impossible. I also noticed the weirdness of daytime with a smoky sky. Even though it looked like the sky was cloudy and overcast, it was incredibly hot. Overall I’ve (obviously) been insanely lucky to have not been impacted by the actual fires. Perhaps it’s nice to miss out on something to remind myself how much it means. Now that the smoke is clearing, I can count my lucky stars that we have clean air to breathe again and a (hopefully) beautiful fall ahead. Anya Nitczynski is a freshman at Denver School of the Arts.

On the wall facing Colfax in front of Hotchkiss Auto Repair is a new mural, with amusing and whimsical depictions of many local landmarks that help make Denver, Denver. “Colfax has had such a bad rap in Denver for so many years,” says Shiju Thomas, who bought the auto repair company at Colfax and Oneida last year. With the idea to give the old block a little bit of love, Thomas hired artist Amy Jones, who spent much of the summer painting the wall. Jones, a Colorado native, has specialized in mural, sign and window painting, including along Colfax, for 30 years. “It’s always a dance between the art and the wall, relative to the building,” she says of her work.
