The infamous Havana St. Exit has reopened again after being closed for several days. Little work was done to the Smith Road and Havana intersection to improve traffic at this point, however, it does appear that two pointless speed bumps have been added to the street that passes directly by the Denver County Jail.

Stapleton parents put their kids in all sorts of camps during the summer. Some of these camps focus on sports, others on art, and of course some on music. If a child has an interest in an activity, a parent can find a camp for them. There are educational camps as well to help continue and advance a child’s learning over the summer. Recently, it was brought to the attention of the community that a local school had not taught a sex education curriculum that had been previously promised. “We had spoken with administrators at the school last year, and we were told the students would have a sex education component,” said concerned parent Abby Christensen. “Unfortunately, this did not happen.” Several parents were disappointed by this development. “We counted on this being part of the learning process for the kids,” said parent Chris McCoy. “Now, we are put in a very awkward situation where we may have to talk to our kids about this stuff. No one wants to do that.” Luckily, local camp Comeoniwannalaya hopes it can help resolve the issues left by the local schools. “We saw this opportunity, and figured creating this camp would be a great fit for the community,” said head Camp Comeoniwannalaya counselor Kerry Becker. “We think we will be around even after the schools teach the sex education curriculum. There is just a lot to learn when it comes to sex.” The camp begins July 8th, with two one week camps from Monday through Friday from 9 to noon. “We think we should be able to cover a lot in the one week period,” said Becker. “We obviously can’t get to everything, but the older and more advanced kids will definitely learn more. All the kids will get the basics.” The camp will be for kids ages 10 to 18 and will take place in classrooms at DSST. For more information and to register, visit campcomeoniwannalaya.com. ]]>

Stapleton residents have put up with petty crime over the years, but residents have finally decided to take a stand. “Enough is enough,” said Eastbridge resident John Penningroth. “The police don’t seem to be doing enough patrolling around here, and our neighborhood watch signs don’t seem to be doing anything. So, I guess it is up to us residents.” [Read more…] about Stapletonians Protect Possessions Through Booby-Trapping

Parkwood Homes released their most recent model for the conservatory green neighborhood on Monday, and buyers like what they see. “It seems like everyone in Stapleton is getting chickens or goats, and even cows,” said prospective buyer David Halsor. “I am totally fine with that, but it is not really my speed. I like to have a little more extreme-type animals, and this new model looks like I am the guy they are after.” [Read more…] about Parkwood’s New Conservatory Green Home, the Tasmanian, to Include Snake Pit and Honey Badger Coop

The Stapleton MCA has long encouraged residents to have fun events at the several Stapleton pocket parks. One of the events that has been encouraged over the years is a camping outing.

Just days after Federal investigators cleared any chance of former Teamster’s leader Jimmy Hoffa’s body being in an abandon barn in Oakland Township, Michigan, Feds are already moving forward with their search. “We did not find any evidence that Mr. Hoffa’s body was in the previous location,” said lead federal investigator Greg Schmadeke. “We have moved on, and are checking out a new lead near the old airport in Denver, Colorado.” [Read more…] about Feds on Hoffa: “Not in Michigan, Time to Dig Up Stapleton”

Stapleton residents have become accustomed to the dozens of lemonade stands randomly placed in the community throughout the summer. It is a fun way for kids to make a little money, and a great way to get a refreshment for a passersby. “I love seeing the kids out there selling their lemonade,” said resident Christine Ellers. “It is so old school, and makes our neighborhood look even more perfect.” Other residents agree. “These kids are just trying to make a few bucks so they can chip in for the new Wii game their parents are going to buy them,” said Brian Sorensen. “There’s no harm in that.” [Read more…] about FDA, IRS Come Down Hard on Stapleton Lemonade Stands

The Stapleton Farmer’s Market continues to bustle more and more every year. However, retailers aren’t always seeing the profits. Traffic continues to rise at the market, but most of the traffic is people going up to entertain the family and maybe get something to eat from the Biscuit Bus. “We go up almost every week we are in town,” said resident Kara Clinton. “However, most of it is just to let the kids run around while it is below 95 degrees. We rarely ever buy anything.” [Read more…] about Stapleton Farmers Market to Begin Charging For Parking
