Resident Goes Solar Just to Keep Solar Companies from Knocking on His Door

November 30, 2016 by Staff Writer

Tom Pecenka has been a Stapleton resident for eight years and considers himself environmentally conscience. “We recycle what we can and try to not be wasteful with water,” said Tom. ”We don’t compost yet, mostly because I’m too lazy to learn about what it takes to compost. But I’m sure we’ll get there.” Pecenka has also long considered getting solar panels, but until recently, hadn’t had the time to sit down and discuss it with a representative. “We had a guy knock on our door one afternoon, we were both here, so we decided to talk to him,” said Pecenka. “And now it looks like we are going that direction.” Pecenka is aware of the basic advantages of going solar, such as adding value to his home, getting less expensive and eventually free energy, and being environmentally responsible. “All those things are definitely great,” said Pecenka. “The tax credit is also nice, as far as timing, because when administrations change, that could go away. But the truth is, the main reason I am going solar is that it is probably the easiest way to get solar companies to stop knocking on my door,” said Pecenka. “Yes, we are excited about the benefits, but I knew until I went solar, that knocking wasn’t going to stop. Where do those solar reps get all of their energy? Probably the sun. Anyway, I’m excited the knocking will finally stop, or I will just be able to say, ‘sorry, under contract.’” Pecenka suggests his neighbors “stop the knocking and go solar.”

Twenty-Four Injured at Stapleton Soopers Day Before Thanksgiving

November 30, 2016 by Staff Writer

The day before Thanksgiving can be a crazy time to grocery shop, especially if you shop at the Stapleton King Soopers. Hundreds of shoppers seem to converge at the store around the same time looking for the exact same items last minute. Jennifer Beatty was one of those shoppers. “It was absolutely crazy,” said Beatty. “People speeding through the aisles, grabbing for items that weren’t even there, fighting over every last condiment. It was scary. Really, really scary,” said a tearful Beatty. The Stapleton King Soopers can always be a little frightening, but last minute holiday shopping there can be downright dangerous. “I saw a man, he must have been somewhere in his mid-60’s, fall down while reaching for a box of stuffing,” said Beatty. “It was the last box, so instead of helping him up, someone just grabbed it and ran off. It was just horrible.”

Vandalism at Izzy B Shows World Still Full of Dickbags

November 30, 2016 by Staff Writer

A few weeks ago, vandals spray painted hateful graffiti on playground equipment and the school at Isabella Bird in Stapleton. Along with the hateful graffiti, the vandals painted a swastika. Yes, they actually spray-painted a fucking swastika. “Someone told me about a painting of a swastika on the school and I didn’t believe them,” said Stapleton resident Kelly Shannon. “I actually went over there to see it. And sure enough, some complete douche painted a swastika on a school door. Unbelievable.” Seth Crosley also went to go see the vandalism at the school. “Yeah, there was a swastika,” said Crosley. “And it was painted on a school. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish with that. My only guess is that it was the only way they could prove to themselves they are a complete waste of oxygen. It’s really sad that people like this exist.” Amanda Propp is in such disbelief, she feels it must have been some sort of mistake. “Maybe they aren’t sure what the symbol stands for,” said Propp. “Or maybe they were trying to draw something else and it ended up looking like that but was totally intended to be something else. It’s clear these delinquents aren’t Banksy.”
