5 Crashes In 16 Months …
… And That’s Just One House. Neighbors At Monaco and 17th Avenue Have Reached A Boiling Point. Their Message To The City: Fix This Dangerous Intersection Now
By Cara DeGette | GPHN Editor
Neighbors living near Monaco Parkway and 17th Avenue have banded together to demand the city take immediate steps to install safety measures at that treacherous intersection — the site of numerous and sometimes-horrific crashes in recent years. This is the problem: Monaco Parkway is a main north-to-south artery through Park Hill. 17th Av-
enue runs east-to-west. At Monaco, eastbound 17th Avenue curves sharply to the left, and then jogs back to the right on the east side of the parkway. At many other dangerous or confusing intersections in Denver, traffic is directed with signs, arrows, flashing lights and reflective barriers. None of those are installed at 17th and Monaco.
Eastbound drivers regularly miss the turn. Sometimes they end up on the parkway. Sometimes they end up hitting other vehicles. And sometimes, shockingly, they rip through the intersection, the four traffic lanes and wide expanse of parkway, and they crash into peoples’ homes on the other side. “Drivers are traveling at excessive speeds, and continued on page 4
No Kings, No Crowns, No Thrones

As it turned out, on June 14, far, far more Americans were interested in stepping out in raucous opposition to Donald Trump, than in celebrating the president’s birthday.
Crowds attending “No Kings” rallies — estimated at between four and six million — gathered in 2,100 separate protests in towns and cities across the United States.
They marched with signs and banners with calls to preserve democracy and warnings that, under Trump, the bedrock of the American ideal is under direct threat.
The largest — drawing at least 8,000 people — was in downtown Denver.
do believe that joy is an act of resistance.”
“They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too far,” according to organizers. June 14 also happened to be Flag Day, as well as Trump’s 79th birthday. In Washington, the president spent an estimated $45 million in tax dollars for a military parade marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. That event drew an estimated 200,000 people.
In Colorado, No Kings rallies were organized in at least 45 cities and towns. From Montrose to Greeley, Pueblo to Granby, crowds gathered, waving signs with messages ranging from grim to strident, interspersed with plenty of cheeky and raunchy.
In Park Hill, resident Amy Golden said she got a knot in her stomach thinking about the number of people who probably wanted to protest but may be nervous about going downtown. People with mobility issues, families with young children, veterans, seniors. Some people, she knew, might be worried about ending up trapped in the middle of a bad scene should trouble break out.
So she decided to organize a neigh borhood rally on the corner of 23rd Avenue and Dexter Street, next to Turtle Park.
“We had almost 100 people come out, Golden said. “It was beautiful; very neighborly, and people were very reflective.”
People brought home
made signs — or just made them on site. Golden shared watermelon, and others brought snacks. Her husband supplied (and resupplied) chairs for those who gathered.
People driving and walking past the crowd of protesters, she said, were largely supportive and respectful. Most people honked, and many people cheered. One person, in a Tesla, extended a middle finger — apparently choosing to engage in a solo silent protest. The crowd also shared much humor and laughter — a welcome respite in
“I do believe that joy is an act of resistance,” Golden said. “We may be headed toward something very dark, but I feel like fascism can’t quite take hold if there are still funny people.”
For Golden, the exercise was also a reminder of the need for neighbors to stay connected. And to continue to band together to resist for democracy. In other words, she said, expect similar rallies in the weeks and months ahead in the heart of Park Hill.
“I feel like were going to have to do this repeatedly,” she said. “Plus, now I know how many

Colorado birders were gaga over the mysterious arrival of an Anhinga at a pond in Boulder County last month. Only three of these birds have previously been spotted in Colorado. The Anhinga in the image above was actually photographed by Mark Silverstein in Costa Rica, which is a locale where you’d normally spot this long-necked, long-tailed swimmer. There is a term for when birds show up in places where they’re not expected: It’s called “avian vagrancy.” Sometimes they’re blown off course, or get disoriented during migration. In the case of the Boulder visitor, maybe the guy just felt like a Colorado adventure.

there has never been enforcement at that intersection,” said Tess Venetz, who lives nearby. “The city’s failure to respond to prior safety complaints has allowed this problem to continue unchecked.
“This not only endangers drivers,” she said, but also creates risk for pedestrians, cyclists, and the neighbors whose homes are in the drivers’ path.
Incredibly, no one was killed
Careless drivers have crashed into one particular home and its surrounding property five times in 16 months. In December, 2023, David Stoll and Laurel Adler’s house on Monaco was severely damaged. The family had to move out for 11 months while repairs were made.
The family returned home last December. They installed several one-ton-plus boulders on the hellstrip in front of their yard, as a protective barrier.
Just a little over five months later, a carful of young people was traveling at high speed east on 17th Avenue. The car ripped through the intersection, tore through Monaco’s four lanes and the parkway, up the Stolls’ lawn, and crashed into the home. The impact was so intense that the car catapulted one of the huge boulders into the house, where it lodged against the dining room table.
Incredibly, no one was killed.
Stoll says he doesn’t want anyone to write a human interest story about him or his family. He just wants the city, whose actions he describes as negligent, to make the intersection safe. Several years ago, he says, there were signs along 17th Avenue warning of the dangers ahead. Drivers routinely knocked them down. Eventually the city just stopped replacing them.
Symbol of inaction and neglect
The call for immediate action follows months of other complaints about excessive speeders traveling further west on 17th Avenue. Traffic along the residential thoroughfare has increased dramatically over the past few years, in part due to drivers adjusting their routes to avoid construction on Colfax two blocks away.
In public meetings, police officers have disputed residents’ claims that traffic on 17th Avenue is out of control. They also say a lack of personnel in the city’s traffic division hinders their ability to patrol and issue tickets. One traffic officer said he won’t issue citations unless he clocks drivers speeding more than 15 miles over the limit in residential areas.
Residents living near Monaco and 17th Avenue say that they’ve tried to convince multiple city agencies
to install safety measures similar to those at other dangerous intersections. Their efforts have have fallen on deaf ears.
They’ve called their elected officials. Council members Shontel Lewis and Darrell Watson, who represent portions of Park Hill, did not return their calls. (Calls to former Park Hill Councilman Chris Herndon were similarly ignored, neighbors say.)
In early June, many of them packed a Greater Park Hill Community meeting, armed with disturbing images of just some of the crash scenes. A letter to Lewis and Watson that detailed the dangers included signatures from nearly 100 residents. The group also launched a change.org petition. The board of the registered neighborhood organization adopted a resolution supporting the group’s efforts.
“This intersection is more than just a blind curve with inadequate signage—it stands as a symbol of inaction and neglect,” reads the letter, in part. “We need unity. We need leadership. And above all, we need action.”
Aides to the two council members, who happened to be in attendance, immediately offered to set up a meeting with the group. That meeting is scheduled to take place on July 8, in Park Hill. ✦

‘Crash Map’ Is Full Of Holes
Online Police Tool Grossly Underreports A Pattern Of Crashes At 17th Avenue And Monaco Parkway
The Denver Police Department maintains an interactive “Crash Map” — an online tool that purports to mark and memorialize the sites of vehicle crashes across the city. This map currently indicates only three crashes have occurred since 2014 at the intersection of Monaco and 17th Avenue.
When told about the few number of crashes that appear on the Crash Map, David Stoll was incredulous. Stoll lives near the intersection at 17th and Monaco and his house and property alone have endured crashes five times in 16 months. He estimates a crash occurs at the intersection an average of once a month — and he’s got photo evidence as back up. Not all of the crashes at the intersection are severe — but many of them are, including injuries to humans and substantial damage to property. The people living nearby, Stoll pointed out, are often the first responders to sometimes-horrific scenes.
Denver Police Department spokesman Jay Casillas cited possible reasons why crashes don’t show up on the Crash Map. Not all crashes generate a report, he said, even if police respond. Or, a responding officer may decide not to file a report. Or, the drivers involved may just exchange insurance information.
Casillas later confirmed that the Crash Map “appears to have some discrepancies,” and does not include all crashes that have generated police reports.
Stoll provided a list of 15 serious accidents that he’s witnessed since 2014 that required emergency response.
“These are just the [crashes] that I have actually been at home to see,” he said. “There are dozens of others at this intersection that I have not been home to see.”

Save Your House From The Landfill
Give Those Old Bricks And Lumber A Second Life
By Mark Kuhl | For the GPHN
Construction debris fills our landfills faster than any other waste stream. The company Perk Deconstruction is mining this waste stream by removing valuable materials from demolition projects and giving them a second life. Perk got a boost from the Denver “Waste No More” initiative that went into effect Jan. 1, 2023. It requires a recycling plan for all demolition and construction permit approvals.
Whether you’re remodeling a kitchen or demolishing an entire house, have your contractor get a bid from Perk to salvage reusable lumber and materials. They’ll bring them to their Commerce City warehouse to be sold to the public. Perk has a business model similar to Habitat ReStore, and it joins the growing network of organizations that repurpose and resell building materials, including Buds Warehouse in Aurora and Extra Building Materials in Northeast Denver. Think of shopping these secondhand stores for your next home remodel.

Roaming With Dinosaurs
Another Climate Record Has Shattered, A Setback Of 30 Million Years. We Must Work Together To Solve This Crisis
By Tracey MacDermott | For the GPHN
We just blasted through another climate record, and it doesn’t appear to be splashing across headlines or grabbing the attention of the president.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced last month that the concentration of carbon dioxide on our planet now exceeds 430 parts per million (ppm). This is the highest amount of CO2 in Earth ’s atmosphere in 30 million years — long before humans roamed the planet.
And yet, we are still arguing about whether climate change is real.
The intensified heat, disappearing aquifers, loss of biodiversity and decrease in food crops are daily alarms that we have a problem.
What will it take to get our elected leaders to work together — regardless of political affiliation — for the sake of the planet, other species and humanity? When did our survival become so political and polarizing?
landmark bill also aligned with the United States’ commitment to the Paris Agreement. The IRA had the potential to grow (not harm) the US economy by $1.9 trillion over the next decade.
To meet the world ’s energy demands, renewables, including solar and wind, are critical. With the administration backtracking on the IRA’s commitments, who will develop those critical technologies? China — not the United States. China is also the largest producer of electric vehicles.
And yet, we are still arguing about whether climate change is real.
The Republican-led House of Representatives has voted to strip critical climate provisions from the IRA, including the EV tax credit. This does not make America great again. Nor does pumping out more pollution from gas-powered cars make America healthy again.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas emitted as a byproduct of burning fossil fuels.
In the 1990s, the Kyoto Protocol was developed, with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately, requiring those most responsible to pay to clean up the mess. Fossil fuel companies responded by dumping money into linking climate change with liberalism.
Politization has occurred for decades when it comes to our growing climate mess. The United States never officially joined the agreement of the Kyoto Protocol, which in recent years was effectively replaced by the Paris Agreement. And what was the prime reason holding us back? Money.
In 2016, President Obama signed the Paris Agreement. When Donald Trump became president, he withdrew the United States from the Agreement. When Joe Biden became president, he signed us back on. And now once again, with Trump back in office, we stand alone in our retreat from Paris. Why? He claims it would harm the U.S. economy. How this is so is unclear.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) — which was Biden’s signature legislation — created 334,000 clean energy jobs, and they exceeded national wage averages by 19 percent. Biden’s
Trump wants to redirect clean energy credits to the fossil fuel industry. Let’s not forget that before the IRA, the fossil fuel industry had been subsidized by the U.S. government. In 2022 alone it was to the tune of $757 billion.
Most Americans are concerned about climate change, yet here we have a climate denier in the White House. First, the science of climate change was challenged. Now, the president just denies that it exists.
Americans from differing political parties care about this issue. They care about what our children are facing. We cannot let politics divide us. The future of humanity is in the balance. We must work together to solve this crisis.

Lingering Blooms
Moments From This Year’s Garden Walk
Hundreds turned out to welcome Spring and admire the handiwork of gardeners and artists during this year’s Park Hill Garden Walk on June 8.
The day was a balmy 68 degrees — perfect for meandering through the eight gardens featured in this year’s event. Artists were stationed in each of the gardens, some working en plein air
At press time, organizers did not have a final tally of tickets sold or the number of people who came through the gardens. But volunteers who were checking people in were ecstatic over the steady stream of looky-loos throughout the day. They estimated at least 600 had already passed through one garden by midday.
The Garden Walk is one of several Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. sponsored events, and it raises approximately $20,000 every year to support the nonprofit’s organization’s food pantry and other programs.

Spirit Of The West
In 1971, Congress passed an act to protect wild and free-roaming horses and burros in the United States— including a broad-reaching declaration that these magnificent animals are “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West.”
The legislation recognized that wild horses “contribute to the diversity of life forms within the Nation and enrich the lives of the American people.”
It acknowledged that “these horses and burros are fast disappearing from the American scene.”
“It is the policy of Congress that wild free-roaming horses and burros shall be protected from capture, branding, harassment, or death; and to accomplish this they are to be considered in the area where presently found, as an integral part of the natural system of the public lands.”
Where they roam
The United States Bureau of Land Management (BLM) currently oversees four herd management areas (HMA) for wild horses on federal lands in Colorado. The largest of these, the Sand Wash Basin HMA, covers 156,500 acres — about 244 square miles. The area encompasses a high desert sagebrush landscape 48 miles west of the town of Craig,
in the northwest corner of Colorado.
The BLM is trying to maintain a target population of between 163 and 362 wild horses in the Basin. Open year ’round to the public, the area is accessed via rough gravel and dirt roads, including the Wild Horse Scenic Loop, a 30-mile route along Moffat County roads 67 and 126.
The loop passes multiple waterholes as it climbs and traverses a sagebrush plateau, allowing for relatively close viewing of the various roaming bands of horses. It takes about two hours to complete, and a high clearance 4WD vehicle is recommended for the adventure.
A pinto named Picasso
A late May circumnavigation of the Wild Horse Scenic Loop allowed for observation of at least six different bands of three-to-nine horses, two foals and a number of solitary stallions. When a group of four different-colored horses began galloping across the horizon, the spirit of the Wild West did indeed seem to come alive.
The horses of the Sand Wash Basin are known for their variety of colors, including unique paints, grays, red and blue roans, bays and sorrels. Some of the more spectacularly-colored horses are named
by local fans. The most famous of these was a pinto stallion named “Picasso,” who lived to age 30. Picasso died in 2019.
During our visit to the Sand Wash, a multi-colored paint stallion called Winchester made his appearance, rolling in the sand and dust to repel biting insects.
Although the U.S. government has deemed them “wild,” these free-roaming horses are not native to North America. They are actually descendants of domesticated horses, according to the BLM. While some trace their ancestry to horses brought by Europeans in the late 15th and 16th centuries, most wild horses in Colorado have far stronger genetic connections to breeds that were released or escaped captivity in the 19th or 20th centuries. Accordingly, many biologists would call these free-roaming animals “feral horses,” because they descend from domesticated ancestors.
Controversies over round-ups
Over the years, horse advocacy groups have challenged the BLM, accusing the agency of not adequately protecting horses; of prioritizing cattle over horses; or engaging in practices they view as inhumane.
Story and photos by Reid Neureiter | For the GPHN
Wild horses of the Sand Wash Basin and Dinosaur National Monument. In the middle photo, a wild stallion named Winchester emerges after a roll in the sand.
Ranchers occasionally file lawsuits against the federal agency as well, typically to compel the removal of “excess” horses from public lands, where they have permits for their cattle to graze.
Particularly controversial has been the BLM’s occasional practice of using helicopters to conduct horse “gatherings” to capture excess horses, which are then taken to a Cañon City facility from which they hopefully will be adopted.
“Helicopters chase these majestic animals over vast distances, causing immense stress, injuries, and sometimes death,” according to the advocacy group American Wild Horse Conservation.
Some of the more spectacularlycolored horses are named by local fans.
“This practice not only disrupts the natural social structures of wild horse herds but also leads to higher birth rates among the remaining population, exacerbating the problem.”
Controlling populations
David Gehlert, a Park Hill resident and longtime Department of Justice attorney who has represented the BLM in a case involving wild horse management, says balancing wild horse populations with
the agency’s multi-use mission can be challenging. “A significant problem is that wild horses have no natural predators and reproduce quickly, which can lead to overgrazing the public lands and ultimately to insufficient forage to support the horse population,” Gehlert said.
According to a study by Jeff Beck, a professor of wildlife habitat restoration ecology at the University of Wyoming, too many horses will damage the sagebrush landscape for other species, including the threatened greater sage grouse.
On its website, the BLM disputes any claims of inhumane practices, maintaining that it manages wild horses effectively and efficiently, in a manner that reduces the rates of injury and mortality to animals that need to be removed over wide areas or rugged terrain.
A wild future
On May 22, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed House Bill 25-1283, which includes provisions allowing the Colorado Department of Agriculture to assist the federal government in controlling Colorado’s wild horse population.
Among other measures, the bill provides for the hiring of eight professional “darters.” They will use specialized guns to administer contraceptives to wild horses to help maintain their populations at manageable levels. The new law also adds protections for bison.
“These new laws will provide us better tools to protect these iconic Colorado animals,” Polis said. “Let’s ensure that wild horses and bison will remain symbols of Colorado’s strong, healthy, and wild future, not just our past.”
The Sand Wash Basin is in far northwest Colorado, 246 miles west of Denver, near Colorado’s borders with Utah and Wyoming. Other herd management areas in Colorado include Little Book Cliffs Wild Horse Range near Grand Junction, Piceance-East Douglas HMA in northwest Colorado between Rangely and Meeker, and Spring Creek Basin HMA, near Telluride in southwest Colorado.

Running To Victory
Three-time
East State Champ Headed To Notre Dame
By Charlotte Renner | GPHN Intern
Rosie Mucharsky went out with a bang in her last season for East High School, claiming first place in the women’s 800 meters and winning her third consecutive 5A state championship.
she was in elementary school. She also played soccer and swam until high school, at which point she committed to running. She ran both track and cross country all four years at East. In her first season, she overlapped with her older sister, Ellison, and the pair finished second in their relay in the 2021 state championship. But her love for the sport began well before high school.
While she was at it, that day — May 16 — Mucharsky also placed third in the 1600 meters and fourth in the 4x800 meter relay.
As an expert in the 800 meters, Mucharsky has a strategy for the notoriously difficult race, which requires a unique balance of speed and endurance.
“Basically, you’re sprinting for 800 meters,” she said. “But you definitely have to get out fast and then you sort of settle in for the next, like, 300 meters, and then you have to have a strong sprint finish.”
After what Mucharsky described as a somewhat unexpected victory her sophomore year, her confidence grew and carried her to two more championships.
“I didn’t think it was even gonna happen,” she said about her first championship. “And then the second one, I was like, ‘I want to win again. I want to keep my title.’ ” Mucharsky moved to Park Hill when
“I started running competitively in middle school, but I had always run with my family, like Turkey Trots and stuff early in life,” she said. Mucharsky hopes that East’s Track and Field program will continue to instill in its athletes a passion for running and foster a supportive team environment. To do her part for young women, Mucharsky started a run club for middle school girls from all over Denver that she’s leading this summer. She runs almost every day, and once a week she runs over 10 miles. She also plays pickleball, skis, and does yoga. And when her shoes aren’t laced up, her feet are kicked up reading or watching Gossip Girl, but her most rewarding free time, she said, is spent volunteering at Children’s Hospital, hanging out with young patients.
“I feel like it keeps me grounded and grateful for everything in my life,” she said.
Mucharsky was recruited on a full athletic scholarship to run for the Fighting Irish starting in the fall. She also considered Duke, Princeton, Wake Forest, and Virginia. But she chose Notre Dame ultimately because of the coach, who she said may be able to help her to success in the steeplechase, an obstacle course where runners jump over hurdles into the water. The steeplechase was not offered in high school, so it will be one of many challenges and opportunities ahead.
“I’m more excited than nervous,” she said. “It’ll definitely be different, the workouts and stuff will definitely be harder, but I feel like I’m just excited for a new experience.” ✦

Travels Through Time And Space
This Summer, Boldly Go To The World Of Fantastical
Column
and photo
by Tara Bannon Williamson | Park Hill Librarian
Science fiction asks the question, “What defines humanity?” It’s a question many of us may be asking ourselves these days. Environments familiar and strange, filled with thought-provoking questions, have become our everyday experience. When you think of science fiction, what comes to mind? Do you think of aliens, spaceships, and ray guns? For most, the sub-genres of Militaristic and Space Opera often define the genre; ther subgenres are Alternative History and Time Travel. Three authors often linked to early science fiction are Mary Shelley, Jules Verne and Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels. Unfortunately, that is where familiarity ends for some readers. Modern science fiction is often more rooted in actual science than may be comfortable. Science fiction has led to many real world advancements and achievements that we now consider commonplace. When you combine something fantastical with the application of fictional science, you end up with advancements like pacemaker technology,
cell phones and submarines.
When you find yourself speculating about what the future holds, and perhaps desiring to escape to an-

Fancy Footwork
Bet you can guess why they call this guy a leaf-footed bug. As stylish as they may look, flapping those flamboyant trotters, leaf-footed bugs are real pests in the garden. They use a piercing-sucking technique to puncture ripening fruit and seeds, as well as leaves and stems, causing significant damage to plants. These bugs are part of the Coreidae family, and are considered cosmopolitan — meaning they can be found all over the globe. This leaf-footed bug nymph was photographed by Park Hill’s Mark Silverstein.

Thinking Paw-sitive

The Dangers Of Retractable Leashes
By Margot K. Vahrenwald, DVM, CVJ | For the GPHN
They seem like a good idea, but retractable leashes are actually not a great accessory for your dog in our urban environment. Their popularity is based on the thought that they provide a greater freedom. But unless your dog is well-trained, they can be dangerous. A retractable leash or flex-leash is not really a proper leash. It is a thin length of cord around a spring-loaded device housed in a plastic handle with a push button to control how much of the cord is extended.
Here are a few reasons why retractable leashes are just not paw-sitive:
• They give too much freedom to your dog, with not enough control from you. The long length of the leash means your dog can roam almost as much as if it were off leash. In most environments, that means it is much harder or even impossible to gain quick control of your dog in a potentially dangerous moment. Retractable leashes also have a high rate of failure from breaking or snapping.
• The bouncing handle when dropped will often cause a terrified dog to run away from that scary thing as fast and as far as it can.
• There is a high risk of injury to humans — especially children — from rope burns, falls, deep lacerations, finger amputations and broken bones when the leash wraps around. In addition, the metal clips at the ends of retractable leashes have caused numerous eye injuries from unexpectedly breaking and snapping back at the person holding the leash.
• There is a risk of injury for your dog from rope burns, tripping or

lacerations, including to its neck and shoulders if it abruptly hits the end of the line.
• Poor control of your dog means stressful or risky interaction with other dogs — not good whether your dog is the recipient or the provider of an aggressive response.
• Many jurisdictions have regulations about what defines control of a leashed dog. Some or even stipulate the type of leashes allowed (hint: non-retractable). Colorado has no consistent rules regarding leashes. It is best to use a nylon or leather sixfoot leash — not a retractable leash — for walking and veterinary visits. But if you must use a retractable, here are some best practices to keep in mind:
• Use retractable leashes only in areas where the potential for contact with other dogs and humans is very limited.
• Be very observant if using a retractable leash to bring your dog in close to heel when conditions change. This may mean when more people and dogs are around, and when cars, bikes, scooters and other wheeled vehicles are around.
• Do not use them at the vet clinic, stores, restaurants, or outdoor events.
Be safe out there, and remember, your dog does not need a long leash to be a happy dog.
