WEST SIDE RECORDER Volume 7—Number 1 Monthly Newspaper of the West Side, Denver, Colorado May, 1970 Summer Program Issue We hope that you will keep this issue for a reference issue for the summer programs that are taking place on the West Side. We have tried to get all of the programs that we could. I am sure that we still have a lot of boys and girls that will be left out this summer. The more that the city hears from parents the need for programs the more they are going to have to listen and the more we will get. The summer program at Daly Park is due to the hard work of Fern Davis, and the support of the parents south of Sixth Ave. Be sure to remember that the Boys' Club at 8th and Inca, West High, Scouting programs, and maybe some other West Side agencies will be having summer programs as well as those listed in the paper. Action Ministry's Summer Program Four churches, First Bethany Lutheran, St. Joseph Catholic, Wesley Methodist, and First Mennonite, are cooperating in a summer program for children from kindergarten through 6th grade. The program will involve Day Camping, Crafts, Swimming/Recreation and Vacation Church School and will be staffed by Vista workers, NYC persons, and church staff. This inter-church program is a cooperative attempt to respond to the needs of the children in the community for the summer. The Vacation Church School will use common church material for all the classes. For the Day Camping, Crafts, and Re creation the leadership will be provided by the NYC personnel. The summer program will begin June 15 and end on August 7. The eight week period will be broken up into four 2 week periods with the same children participating in all of the programs at the same church. Each day will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 11:30 a.m. with the exception of the Day Ca/mping which will last unitl approximately 2:00 p. m. We are expecting approximately 50 to 75 children at each church. If you are interested in enrolling your child, please contact either Jim Hall 222-3337 or Don Schierling 892-1038. (See chart on page 4) The West Side community can be proud of Santa Fe Theater. SIGN UP FOR THIS SUMMER IN LINCOLN PARK BASEBALL — BOYS 8-15 TENNIS LESSONS FREE — BOYS AND GIRLS 9- 15. (Racquets and balls provided) PHONE RFK CENTER — 297-5918. West Side girls eagerly await the opening of Lincoln Pool. The girls are (left to right) Debbie and Margaret Ann Larkin of 1378 W. 11th and Jerilyn Cardona of 841 Elati St. The Lincoln Park Pool is finally finished. It should open about the time school is out. Not only do we have the large Lincoln Park pool ready to go for the summer, but we have a wading pool beside it ready to go. West Side Coalition Gives Trees To Community On Friday, May 15th members of the West Side Coalition distributed 500 flowering Crab- apple trees to Westside residents free of charge. This was part of the Coalition's efforts to help improve the Westside. The orders for the trees were received by the staff of the First Mennonite Church and the parking lot was the distribution point. Waldo Benavidez, chair man of the West Side Coalition, and Don Scherling, of the Mennonite Church, were in charge of the distribution and were assisted in picking up the trees at the nursery by Alfredo Herrera, of 361 Elati St., and Waldo's son, Tommy. The trees were donated by Midland Savings and Loan Association. Baker Students Receive Awards Awards day at Baker Junior High School is scheduled for June 3 in the auditorium. The seventh and eighth graders will be given awards for citizenship, scholarship, attendance, and achievement. The Trailblazer Award, an award special to Baker, will be given to one boy and one girl in each group. On June 5 the 9th graders will receive their awards followed by a party in the lunchroom. In addition to the above the DAR awards will be presented. GALLEGOS RUNS THEATER Abel Gallegos, manager of the Santa Fe-Victory theater has announced that the theater will again be called the Santa Fe. Other changes were announced in a form of an ad in last month's Recorder. Some of them include: children with parents are admitted free, Mexican food is sold at the refreshment stand and the latest Mexican movies directly from Mexico are being shown. Mr. Yeager has given Mr. Gallegos full control of the theater. His only obligation to Mr. Yeager is to pay the rent on the building. In this way Mr. Yeager has cooperated with the community in providing the same type movies that were shown before. Another new feature is the showing of 4 movies instead of 3 for choice sake. Later Mr. Gallegos plans on having different movies shown continuously on Sundays from 11:30 a.m. til closing. This agreement has been worked out between Mr. Gallegos and Mr. Gilbert Martinez who is in charge of distributing Mexican film for Azteca Films, Inc. Mr. Gallegos has said that the theater is for the benefit of the community, and that he is willing to use it as such. West Side Action Center Moves To New Building The West Side Action Center will soon move from its present location at 1042 Santa Fe Drive to 1312 Santa Fe Drive. The new location is in a new building and will provide ample space for offices and better services for West Siders. Among other services that the Action Center offers are the Colorado Civil Rights Commission specialist — Alex Vigil, Employment service — John Wilson, Certification of food stamps — Venice Robinson, and Rita Lucero, and the West Denver Federal Credit Union — Emilio Islas. Helen Lucero is the acting director. Miss Lucero recently worked with the United Latin American Businessmen's Assn. (ULABA) at the Business Opportunity Show in Currigan Exhibition Hall. They were working to increase awareness for minorities about business and how to begin, develop, and run a business. Concerned West Siders can contact her at 534- 5141. Food Center Gets Donation The Mexican-American Rights organization has donated $60.00 to the food supplemental program that is run at 601 Galapago St. The money was presented by Mr. Jose Baca, president of the organization, and is appreciated very much. It will be used to help buy gas for the truck to pick up food at the center warehouse and bring it to the West Side distribution center. Food is given out on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons to people with notes from the health centers. More community help is needed to get the food out. One hour a week of your time would help a great deal. BENAVIDEZ CORRECTION In last month's issue of the RECORDER we announced that Betty Benavidez of 1110 Mariposa St., was running for the state house of representatives. However, due to a printing error, we left out the fact that she is running in district 7. The boundaries of this district are Federal to Sherman, and Colfax to 6th Ave. We didn't realize that in releasing the story we would be costing Betty's husband, Waldo, his job. It is suggested that West Siders read the copy of the Letter from Mr. Hugh Burns, Democratic Councilman of Denver, to Mr. Lynch concerning this matter. The letter is on page two.
