WEST SIDE RECORDER Volume 7—Number 5 Monthly Newspaper of the West Side, Denver, Colorado September, 1970 New Elmwood in the picture? Elmwood Is Top Priority! ATTENTION! A MEETING AT ELMWOOD SCHOOL SEPT. 30, 7:30 P.M. City Planning Board Under Fire M llTl o One should retire after 83 years. At the last meeting of the Board of Education, the administration was charged with the responsibility of presenting a priority report for construction of schools. The priorities are divided into elementary and secondary schools. Among the elementary school priorities, Elmwood and Montbello are in the number one spot. Such a report will be submitted at the next Board meeting, October 15th, to be held at the Administration Building, 414-14th Street at 7:00 p.m. It would be a benefit to our community if a good number Elmwood lunch room in full light and it is crowded! JUNKYARD IS AN DANGEROUS FOR The operator of a junkyard in the vacant area north of 814 Mariposa did not appear in court September 18 because the city was unable to serve him with a summons. According to Ralph E. Livingston of the City Zoning Administration Office, the operator of the junkyard, Tony Cisneros, avoided the summons servers until September 22. Cisneros continues to operate the junkyard or the land north of 814 Mariposa despite the fact that the land is zoned R-2. R-2 zoning permits homes and small apartments but not businesses or junkyards. EYESORE AND CHILDREN On September 21 the vacant lots contained fifteen junk automobiles. There have been many complaints about the appearance of the junkyard and the threat that it poses to the safety of the children in the area. Livingston said that because of the difficulties in serving Cisneros the case has been rescheduled for the 9th of October. It will be heard at 2 P.M. in County Court at 1110 Bannock Street. The land on which the junkyard is being operated is owned by Raymond Bartel- son, 3055 South Milwaukee Circle. Fall Carnival At St, Joseph's Starts Oct. 9 The annual Fall Carnival at St. Joseph's is scheduled for October 9, 10, and 11 at Sixth and Galapago St. There will be games, prizes, food and fun. Tickets for chances on a color TV, a trip to Las Vegas, and cash prizes are now being sold by the pupils of St. Joseph's schools. Plan now to attend and have a good time. BENEFIT DANCE fOR BETTY The Committee to Elect Betty Benavidez will hold a benefit dance for Mrs. Benavidez at St. Joseph's Hall, 6th and Galapago. The dance will be held from 8 p.m. to X a.m. on October 3. Tickets are $5.00 per couple. Music will be provided by Tony and the Antones. For information call 623-0737 or 266-2665.

The Elmwood Committee Ramiro Cruz-Aedo Chairman Register To Vote In Local Stores November 3rd is election day. If you have not registered to vote yet, there is still time. A Branch registration location for Westsiders will be at National Brands Grocery located at 727 Santa Fe on Monday, September 27th. Registration hours are from noon to 8 p.m. Other Branch locations include: Safeway, 13th and California, Wed.- Fri., Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, noon to 8 p.m., Oct 2, 9:00 a.m..5:00 p.m.; and Del-Farm, First and Broadway, September 28. Noon to 8 p.m. Improvement Assn Picks Up Trash During the annual summer trash pickup sponsored by the West Side Improvement Association, the city trash collectors found that many people on the West Side are using 55 gallon drums without lids. The management of Public Works has written to the Improvement Association to say that these trash containers are not the legal size. The legal size for trash containers is 40 gallons. The reason for limiting the size of containers is to prevent strain accidents for the trash collectors. Over 55% of all accidents that occur to Sanitary Services personnel are caused by trash cans that are too heavy. Trash cans should also have handles and tight-fitting lids. The lids keep the cans from attracting insects and vermin. Commenting on the letter from the Manager of Public Works, Waldo Benavidez, Chairman of the West Side Improvement Association, said "The Improvement Association is very pleased by the success of this summer's pick-up. We collected eighty truck loads of trash. But now it is important for West Siders to keep working with the city to make trash collection easier. We can do this by using the right kind of containers." The West Side Coalition has joined with seven other neighborhood groups to seek changes in city policies relating to planning. The proposals made by the neighborhood groups include several aimed at making the Denver Planning Board a more representative and democratic organization. The eight groups suggested that Planning Board members disclose their real estate holdings, that public hearings be held whenever an appointment is made to the Board, and that the Board be expanded to include representatives of community groups. In other proposals, the eight neighborhood groups recommended that residents who are not property owners be allowed to protest rezon- ing cases and that the process of developing the city's budget be simplified to allow for greater resident involvement. The Denver Planning Board has approved only a few of the proposals. In an open letter September 19, the leaders of the eight neighborhood groups observed that it is difficult for an organization like the Denver Planning Board to reform itself. They expressed hope, however, that the Mayor and City Council, being elected officials, would "take a more favorable view of proposals for democratizing the Denver Planning Board and city planning generally." The groups that are presently involved in this effort, besides the West Side Coalition, are the Capitol Hill Congress; Citizens Community Planning Council; Greater Park Hill Community, Inc.; Preserve Our Way of Urban Residence; South Athmar Improvement Association; South Jackson Street Improvement Association, and the Washington Park Action Council. Fall Locations HEAD START IN TROUBLE When approaching grade crossings, look, listen and live. Remember a motor vehicle is no match for a locomotive. Good advice from our State Patrol. The Head Start program in Denver is facing a 5 % cut in funds from the Federal Government. This cut will be for the program year from Sept. 1, 1970 - Aug. 31,1971. It is not clear as to what changes this will mean in the Head Start program. In the past, when Head Start funds have not been increased to meet increasing costs, the delegate agencies and Denver Opportunity have decided to continue to serve the same number of city children; 1500 preschoolers, but to cut the length of time that the program run. There are some things that you as citizens can do concerning this situation. You can let Head Start staff know what your ideas might be about saving money in our current program. You can write Colorado Congressmen or call their local offices and give your opinions about the need for this program. Other resources for monies for this program, might come from the State of Colorado or the City of Denver. You can ask candidates for election on national, state, and local level their view of appropriating money to the Denver Head Start program. We must let our voices be heard, if we wish to have the Head Start program continue. Here is a list of La Rasa Headstart Centers on the West Side.
