Middle School Choices Abound in NE Denver
By Kathy Epperson
As parents begin to think about middle school options for their kids, the Front Porch has assembled overviews of neighborhood and charter schools serving middle schoolers in the NE Denver area. Some of the schools are stand-alone middle schools, some are part of a K-8 program, and some are part of a grade 6 through high school program. More in-depth information can be found on the websites referenced here, by attending open house events, or visiting the schools. Contact information for Public Middle Schools near NE Denver as well as open house dates, and a description of each school’s program are listed in the article.
Stapleton Neighbor of the Year
By Nancy Burkhart
Corby Felsher, owner of Stapleton Home Services, and his staff sent out requests for nominations for the Stapleton Home Services “Neighbor of the Year” for a contest in which the winner would receive one year of home cleaning, window washing inside and out, two house carpet cleanings and upholstery cleaning by Stapleton Home Services.
Out of all the nominations for “Neighbor of the Year,” “Mike Schindler stood out by sheer numbers of neighbors and the words said about him,” Felsher said. One e-mail describes Schindler as “the one who comes around to blow out your sprinkler system, plow your street, shovel your driveway, and always there to share a cold beer!” Another message lauds Schindler for “consistently helping out every single family in our neighborhood, without any expectation of reciprocation.”
The Relevance of Dr. King’s Message
By Wallace Yvonne Tollette
Dr. Vincent Harding, professor emeritus of the Iliff School of Theology and founder of the Veterans Of Hope project, worked closely with Dr. King. He reminds us that Dr. King’s message was really three-pronged, encompassing not just racism, but materialism and militarism.
In his book, Martin Luther King: The Inconvenient Hero, Dr. Harding writes that Dr. King’s message not only keeps us moving against all odds, but also moving toward a more perfect union and toward a more just, humane and sustainable world. He quotes Rabbi Abraham J. Heschel who stated that “the whole future of America depends upon the impact and influence of Dr. King.”
Stapleton’s Hangar 61 Given New Future
By Nancy Burkhart
Hangar 61, built in 1959 as the “garage” for a corporate plane when Stapleton was an airport, has spent the last 20-25 years sitting idle, waiting for someone to recognize its architectural value and give it a new job. It has taken a while, but finally Hangar 61, located at Montview and Central Park boulevards, has been given a new life.
When Forest City Stapleton, Inc. and the City and County of Denver began discussing plans for use of the space that the hangar occupied, Colorado Preservation, Inc. took a look at the structure. “We decided that it was a valuable part of our history and needed to be preserved,” said Dan Love, President of Colorado Preservation, Inc.
Today, Colorado Preservation, Inc. owns Hangar 61 and has put money into it to help stabilize the structure, along with a grant from the State Historical Fund, which is money supplied by gaming revenues that funds grants for preservation projects. Hangar 61 has gone through the Stapleton design review process and has been OKd for use as an office building.
