Finalist named to lead DPS Deputy superintendent was revealed to be the lone remaining candidate

because it lasted, really going on three generations when you think about it,” Dan said. “It’s held its own for a long time and people have had a lot of good memories here.”

The 70-year-old bar had recently been on rocky legs. Longtime owner Jim Wiste decided to sell the Campus Lounge in 2016 so he could retire.

Denver restaurateur Dan Landes took over in the hopes of saving a city legacy. After renovations, he reopened Campus Lounge in October 2017. But Landes took the neighborhood bar in a different direction from its DU hockey hot-spot roots. It closed in March, less than a year later.

A high-ranking administrator who began her career as a teacher in Denver is the sole finalist to lead Denver Public Schools. Susana Cordova, who has served as deputy superintendent for the past two years, will more than likely be the next superintendent.

The seven-member Denver school board made the announcement Nov. 29 after a fourCordova month national search, but the decision was not unanimous.

Parents, teachers, and community members repeatedly called for the board to name multiple finalists. But board President Anne Rowe explained that two of the three candidates who got a second interview ended up withdrawing their candidacy, one because of confidentiality concerns and another for personal reasons.

Board member Carrie Olson said she could not support moving forward with a single finalist, even as she noted many reasons why Cordova is qualified. Board member Jennifer Bacon joined her in voting no. The other five board members voted yes.

Carrying on a legacy A former grocer family takes over the Campus Lounge

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As a child, Dan Nickless remembers running through the alleys of Bonnie Brae trying to figure out the mystery of what was behind the doors at the Campus Lounge. Back then, bars were dark and people could still smoke indoors. His first experiences of the bar on the same block as his dad’s grocery store are tinted with the curiosity of child-

hood.

Decades later, Nickless finds himself part-owner of the Campus Lounge, 701 S. University Blvd., along with his son Jeff and longtime friend Steve Bentley.

Over the years, the bar had taken on an important role in his life.

His father, R. Walker Nickless, sold hamburger meat and T-bone steaks to the bar through Esquire Market, a job his brothers Paul and David took over when they began to run the grocery store. The Campus Lounge became Dan’s own neighborhood hangout when he started going to college. His son Jeff also frequented the bar while attending the University of Denver.

Denver council approves supervised injection site Proposal would need approval from state lawmakers; feds might react

BY COLLEEN SLEVIN ASSOCIATED PRESS

Despite federal opposition, Denver is trying again to become what could be the first U.S. city to open a supervised drug injection site, a strategy that some liberal cities have tried repeatedly to launch to reduce overdose deaths fueled by a nationwide opioid epidemic.

The Denver City Council voted 12-1 on Nov. 26 to approve a measure that would allow one site to open for at least two years under a pilot program. But there are still several hurdles to clear.

The program must win approval from the state Legislature, which will soon be under Democratic control after last month’s election. Earlier this year, the Republican-controlled state Senate killed similar legislation.

Despite the Democratic edge in the session starting in January, Democratic Gov.-elect Jared Polis has not taken a position on the issue and could veto the measure.

If successful, Denver could have the nation’s first publicly sanctioned

site for people to use heroin, methamphetamine and other illegal drugs under medical supervision, with staffers able to intervene in case of an overdose.

Supporters say it’s a safer alternative for those who aren’t ready for rehab, while opponents say it condones dangerous drug use. Facilitating the use of illegal drugs is a federal felony, and the U.S. government has indicated it wouldn’t stand by if cities move to open such sites.

Other U.S. cities, including San Francisco, Seattle, New York and Philadelphia, have expressed interest in opening supervised injection sites. California lawmakers passed a measure that would have protected workers and participants in a San Francisco pilot program from state prosecution, but Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed it in September.

A private nonprofit is raising money for a supervised injection site in Philadelphia but has pushed back its potential opening date from January to mid-March, the group Safehouse said. While Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has said he won’t prosecute anyone providing medical oversight at the facilities, state and federal officials have said they wouldn’t be legal.

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell, who serves on Safehouse’s board, said he’s willing to go to prison to try a new approach that may save lives in Philadelphia, which has the

highest rate of opioid deaths of any large U.S. city. It had more than 1,200 fatal overdoses last year.

Drug overdoses were the secondleading cause of death in Denver last year, killing 201 people. They died in places like grocery stores, abandoned buildings and along a bike path, according to death records reviewed

by Denver’s Harm Reduction Action Center, the largest needle exchange in Colorado. It’s offered to host the supervised injection site.

Once users get a clean needle, they now have to leave the center, which is across the street from the state Capitol, and usually wind up injecting drugs in nearby alleys and streets, executive director Lisa Raville said.

The cities’ efforts come as federal officials have vowed to crack down on injection sites. U.S. law includes a “crack house” statute that makes it a felony to knowingly maintain a place for using a controlled substance.

In an op-ed in The New York Times in August, days after California lawmakers passed their measure, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said cities and counties that allow such sites should expect “swift and aggressive action” from the Justice Department.

In Denver, the measure’s sponsor, Albus Brooks, said on Nov. 27 that he’s reaching out to the governor and legislative leaders to urge their support.

“I am very hopeful that these folks in the General Assembly will look at 1,000 deaths from drug overdoses in our state (in 2017) and move quickly to pass this bill,” said Brooks, who has said he learned how easy it was to become dependent on opioids while being treated for cancer.

Sen.-elect Brittany Pettersen, who sponsored the earlier statewide legislation, said she has bipartisan support for another attempt to allow at least one injection site. The Lakewood Democrat thinks it’s “highly likely” it will pass next year but downplayed the importance of the Democratic shift at the Statehouse.

“This is about keeping people alive today and ensuring they get the help they need tomorrow,” said Pettersen, whose mother struggled with opioid addiction for years.

She and state Rep. Leslie Herod traveled to Vancouver, British Columbia, to learn about its supervised injection site last year. Advocates say no overdoses have been reported there or at about 100 publicly sanctioned injection sites in Europe, Canada and Australia.

The lone councilmember opposing the Denver proposal, Kevin Flynn, said he was concerned it wasn’t aggressive enough in helping people get treatment.

“A safe injection site is not treatment. It’s like bringing a lung cancer patient into a smoking room and giving him more cigarettes,” he said.

Court proceedings underway for suspects in woman’s death Cymone Reyna Duran was shot before body was burned

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Court proceedings have begun for the three men arrested as suspects in the murder of a Denver woman whose body was burned after she was shot.

The remains of Cymone Reyna Duran, 28, were discovered around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 5 by Pleasant View and Golden firefighters who were putting out a small brush fire near the intersection of Nile Street and West Seventh Avenue, which is in the vicinity of I-70 and West Colfax Avenue just outside Golden.

Jefferson County Sheriff ’s deputies responded to investigate and discovered that Duran, a Denver resident, had been shot multiple times before being set on fire.

Arrest affidavits remain sealed, so no further information on the incident is available.

The suspects are Abel Gallegos, 35;

MORE INFORMATION Cymone Duran’s family has set up a GoFundMe account to help with expenses following her death. All donations will benefit her daughters and funeral costs. To donate, visit www.gofundme.com/cymone-duranmemorial-fund.

As shopping season starts, so do new sales tax rules

BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Colorado Department of Revenue enacted an emergency rule Sept.

26 that makes it mandatory for retailers in Colorado who ship goods out of their own jurisdiction to collect sales tax on the merchandise based on the rate of where the product is shipped.

Whether a seller ships items across town, across the state, or out of state, the retailer is responsible for identifying, and charging, the tax for every item shipped.

According to Dan Carr, Department of Revenue Taxation communications manager, Colorado was one of 33 states who enacted emergency rules after the supreme court ruling in the case of South Dakota vs. Wayfair, in which South Dakota won the right to receive sales tax on items purchased on the internet and shipped to the state.

“With the Wayfair decision, we can now require out of state retailers to pay sales tax in the state where the items are shipped,” said Carr. “The purpose was to make sure the playing field was level and to standardize tax laws, bringing consistency and fairness to sales tax laws.”

The DOR has created a website, colorado.gov/tax, that will help retailers in Colorado navigate the new law, which includes frequently asked questions, access to a call center to have questions answered, and lookup lists for all the sales taxes. Webinars are also available on the website.

“They have created a `hold harmless’ list, which means if a retailer uses the platform and the charge is wrong, they will be held harmless,” said Carr.

Timing The new rule, which went into effect Dec. 1, could worry Colorado retailers

expecting to ship thousands of packages out of their jurisdiction for the holiday shopping season.

But Colorado Representative Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, chair of the sales and use tax streamlining committee, said merchants shouldn’t panic about the Nov. 30 deadline. The department has stated they won’t enforce the rule until March.

“Business owners are thinking `how do we do this?’” said Kraft-Tharp. “But the department has said they won’t enforce the rule until March 31, to give people the opportunity to figure out how to do it. They’ve put webinars up on their web page explaining how to do it.”

According to Kraft-Tharp, the issue of who should get taxes on items sold over the internet has been a hot button for many years, and the new rules will level the playing field.

“Before South Dakota vs. Wayfair, the law of the land was that internet sites could charge sales tax if they had a physical presence in the state,” said Kraft-Tharp. “This has opened the door for all states to say `we can fix this unfair competition problem and start telling internet sites they have to pay sales tax.’”

Kraft-Tharp said the new law could bring in as much as $48 million dollars this year that would be collected and remitted to the state and up to $200 million each year going forward.

“That will be enforced through audits and check to see who is paying and who isn’t,” said Kraft-Tharp. “There is an enforcement division at the department.”

While the rule includes a small-seller exception for out-of-state retailers, with in-state sales of products that do not exceed $100,000 or 200 transactions annually, there are no exceptions for in-state retailers.

“There is no minimum amount if your business is domiciled in Colorado,” said Carr.

FINALIST

School in the southwest part of the city, and sent her own children to school in the district.

“Susana is a homegrown girl,” board member Lisa Flores said.

“It’s meaningful that she’s a woman, it’s meaningful that she’s bilingual, bicultural (and) comes from the Latino community,” said board Vice President Barbara O’Brien. “It’s a chance we have to have multiple perspectives combined in one candidate.”

“She is a person of integrity, incredible talent, and she has spent her entire life caring deeply about the children of Denver,” Rowe added.

But parents, teachers, and residents who disagree with the district’s methods for improving schools — which include closing and replacing struggling schools — don’t want Cordova to be superintendent. They see the district’s failures to significantly raise the test scores of black and Latino students, and those from low-income families, as her failures, too.

Cordova said the process of applying to become superintendent has caused her to reflect on what the district has done well — and what it hasn’t.

“I think we need to do a better job of listening to our critics and finding more opportunities to stake out common goals,” she said.

“I am from Denver and I have such deep roots here. I understand what happens to a community when a school is both low-performing and when we undertake significant interventions — and both of those things can be devastating.

“What we need to be able to do,” Cordova added, “is grapple with both of those issues much more authentically with our communities around pathways forward.”

Cordova said that although she served as deputy superintendent under former leader Tom Boasberg, whose tenure wrapped up in October, her style is different than his.

“I’m a far more collaborative leader,” she said. “I really enjoyed working with Tom and learned a lot from him, but I’m really not him.”

FROM PAGE 1

The board plans to hold several public meetings with Cordova before making its final decision, which is scheduled to take place Dec. 17. Multiple board members said this needs to be an interview process, not an acceptance process.

“We will be listening to you,” board member Happy Haynes said.

“It’s not over until it’s over.”

Cordova said after the announcement that she’s “incredibly grateful” to be named the finalist and is looking forward to having “the opportunity to share more about who I am, and what I believe in, and what I hope to achieve in our district.”

Denver Public Schools is Colorado’s largest school district with nearly 93,000 students, the majority of whom are Latino and black, and come from low-income families. This is the first time in 10 years that the district has had to choose a new superintendent.

The school board had originally promised to announce finalists for the position on Nov. 26. Board members did not explain the reason for the delay.

However, several of them referenced the withdrawals of the other candidates, which left Cordova the sole finalist. They said they too had hoped to have multiple finalists.

“This is not something that she asked for,” Bacon said, referring to Cordova. “This is not something that we asked for.”

VOICES Stiff the stuff for a holiday from the hyperactive holiday

G

o ahead. Go ahead and ignore me, but one of these days you’ll know that I was right.

I have the remedy for all of your holiday anxieties. Each and every QUIET one.

DESPERATION You’ll think I’m kidding. You’ll think I’m a fool. And you know why? Because you are swept up in something you can’t control.

From now until the end of the month, you will be under pressure to gather, Craig Marshall to travel, to greet, to Smith host, and to spend, spend, spend.

They want you to buy someone you love a car or a truck or an engagement ring.

Why not a house?

Why not an island?

What’s my advice?

Let the holidays go, let them play through, and see what happens.

A great big weight will be lifted.

Every year for years, I booked flights in and out of Traverse City, Michigan.

Half the time flights were delayed or canceled because of the weather.

Most the time I had to go through O’Hare, a traveler’s worst nightmare.

I’d get there eventually, and snow would be up to my wallet for a week.

And then. And then?

And then there was my mother, who tried her best, who tried too hard, who wanted everything to be perfect.

She vacuumed three times a day.

I’d wake and hear the vacuum. She wanted the house to look immaculate, as though it wasn’t lived in. And that’s the way it felt.

Day after day, the walls moved in on me.

I had a plan. I took a deep breath.

I asked my mother and father if we could forgo Christmas.

“How would it be if I visited you in the spring instead?”

“What about exchanging gifts?”

“No gifts.”

It had a reached a point of no returns. We were exchanging gift cards.

Nice but needless.

I said (with a straight face), “You are my gifts.”

And they bought it, and we lived happily ever after for the rest of their lives.

You’re probably not going to convince Little Tommy or Little Dorrit of any of this right away. But plant the seed.

There are a thousand better ways to observe the holidays than piling it on, overdoing it, or wrestling for musthaves at the mall.

The alleviation of late December air travel might have saved me from a few strangulations. And we ended the practice before 9/11, when, thereafter, proceeding through an international airport became long lines, sock-footed scrutiny, and being jammed into flu incubators.

There is an American illusion, re-

inforced endlessly, supported mainly by the mercantile, that no one can be happy at this time of year without giving and receiving objects.

It’s not true.

What if you did nothing between now and the end of the month to contribute to the illusion and just be welcoming, kind, and thoughtful?

I know it’s easier to hand someone an object. It acts on our behalf.

Try reminding a friend how much they mean to you, and leave it at that.

Try listening to a great audio book with your children, and leave it at that.

Try listening to Mozart’s “Requiem” as a family, and leave it at that.

This is never going to happen, is it?

It’s asking too much. It’s a tradition.

It’s an addiction. It’s now the end result of something that was once rather wonderful.

Prepare for happy resolution, not war, in customer service

‘T

is the season. And with the season, many of us will have a chance to engage with customer service, or maybe better stated as having customer care opportunities.

Whether we are physically going to the customer service department WINNING in the store, makWORDS ing a telephone call to the customer care department, or chatting online with a customer service representative, ‘tis the season to give businesses a chance to make things right.

Now generally I find two ways in Michael Norton which people try and prepare themselves to make these calls or go back to the store to get the satisfaction they desire. The first is someone who really doesn’t like confrontation, and they agonize over having to make the call or go back to the store. They make sure they have their receipts in order and the packaging is intact so that they can make their

case. But they are still mentally, physically and emotionally preparing for a battle. It makes them nervous, and in some cases, even sick as they prepare for a “no” instead of a “yes.”

The second group of folks look at it like it’s a game or a battle right from the beginning. They have no issue going online, calling the business or walking into the store. No, not walk into the store, they march into the store with a swagger like they are walking out of the locker room and onto the field to start the game or fight. They dial the number with authority and cruise through the prompts waiting for someone, anyone to pick up on the other side. Again, they too are prepared for war and not a happy resolution.

Maybe you have seen the new television commercial for the Discovery Card. There is a young man gearing up to make a call to customer service to state that he doesn’t want to pay any annual fees. He readies himself, steadies himself, breathes, and then makes the call — only to be caught off guard by a customer care representative telling him that there are no annual fees. It’s only a television commer-

cial, however it caught my attention as I reflected on my own experiences with customer service representatives recently.

I truly believe the industry is doing some amazing things when it comes to ensuring that we as customers receive high-quality customer care.

Whether it is training the people on the phones or in the stores on how to properly engage with customers, or the technology they are using and consistently upgrading, the use of artificial intelligence and data, and just better expectations and execution on the part of leadership, businesses of all kinds are making it easier to resolve issues instead of forcing us to fight the battle and still maybe lose the war. They do realize that when we win, they win too.

So, as we approach the season, and we find ourselves having to find an answer, a resolution, a refund, or a replacement of some kind, I encourage us all to take a breath, ready ourselves, steady ourselves, and plan for a happy outcome. When we expect the best, look for the best, and treat others with respect, we will typically receive the best in return. It’s when we

expect the worst, look for the worst, and ready ourselves for the fight, that is when we typically find ourselves in a fight.

Again, kudos to the companies who are going above and beyond to train their customer care personnel in how to defuse and de-escalate tough situations and customers. I for one, look forward to being a customer of the future as these companies continue to make advancements in technology to serve us all better in the future.

So how about you? Do you find yourself anxious about contacting customer service? Do you ready yourself for battle expecting the worst? Or are you preparing for the happy and positive outcome? As always, I would love to hear your customer care story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can expect the best, look for the best, and treat others with respect, it really will be a better than good season.

LEGACY FROM PAGE 1

That’s where the Nickless family comes in. Father-son duo Dan and Jeff hope that reopening the Campus Lounge will be a way to follow in the footsteps of R. Walker, creating a business where customers can create memories.

The legacy of Jim Wiste Jim Wiste was a Pioneer. Born in Saskatchewan, Canada, Wiste came to the U.S. to attend DU. He played on DU’s hockey team until he graduated in 1968. He then played in multiple professional hockey leagues, including the National Hockey League, until 1976. That same year he purchased the Campus Lounge, which had originally opened in 1946 as the Bel-Aire.

The business changed names to the Campus Lounge three years later.

Wiste died at the age of 71 in January 2018, shortly after Landes reopened the Campus Lounge Bar. The Nickless family is paying homage to Wiste and the Campus Lounge’s hockey roots throughout the bar. A plaque next to the front door dedicated to Wiste reads “A Denver legend. Gone but never forgotten.” A photo of Wiste in his number 14 DU hockey jersey can be seen in a mural dedicated to the sport on a wall in the bar.

“Jim Wiste … was just getting (Campus Lounge) up and going at the same time, so my dad and he were co-patriots, if you will, on the block,” Dan said. “It was kind of sad to see Jim close it down.”

Looking back For 56 years, the Esquire Market was owned by the Nickless family. For many of those years, Dan’s father, R. Walker, could be found behind the counter, chatting with customers, and helping them pick out cuts of meat.

Over the years, Dan spent more and more time in Esquire, working shifts in the summer and during other school breaks.

“It was a kind of traditional, counter meat market. It sold all kinds of different stuff, fish included,” Dan said. “I’m from a family of 10, so we all worked in the meat market at some point in our lives.”

DEATH FROM PAGE 2

Both Gallegos and Quintana face two counts of first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, possession of a weapon by a previous offender and retaliation against a witness or victim. Rosales faces a felony charge of accessory to a crime of first-degree murder.

Gallegos and Rosales are both being charged with tampering with a deceased body and tampering with physical evidence.

Gallegos is being charged with second-degree assault and possession with intent to manufacture or

Dan Nickless, left, and his son Jeff stand behind the bar at Campus Lounge. The pair recently bought the 70-year-old restaurant and bar, which has been a staple to the Bonnie Brae neighborhood for decades.

KAILYN LAMB Although Dan said he never saw himself as an entrepreneur or in the restaurant industry, he’s excited to carry on in his dad’s footsteps. At the Campus Lounge, people have come in telling Dan they knew his dad back in the Esquire Market days. People have also come into the bar sharing their own family history with it, Dan said, adding “the stories go on and on.”

Getting to know his customers is one way that Dan hopes to be like his dad.

“That was one of the things that was instrumental to my dad’s success for 50 years, was we knew most of the customers that came in to that store,” Dan said. “It’s really been kind of cool to have those connections pop up.”

Moving forward Both Dan and Jeff Nickless, as well as their partner Steve Bentley, have backgrounds in finance. Dan and Bentley have worked together as accountants and Jeff was in banking and real estate. Jeff helped Dan Landes get a loan for Landes’ first restaurant, City O’ City. After Landes closed the Campus Lounge, the Nickless family decided to jump on the opportunity. Because Landes had renovated the Campus Lounge prior to opening it, it meant the Nickless family didn’t have to invest quite as distribute a controlled substance.

Quintana faces a felony charge of violation of bail bond conditions.

All three men face a felony charge of conspiracy to commit firstdegree murder, and non-felony charges of being a habitual criminal.

Gallegos and Quintana are being held without bond. A bond amount of $250,000 was set for Rosales on Nov. 16.

All three suspects remain in the custody of the Jefferson County Sheriff ’s Office and appeared in front of the judge on Nov. 27. The court set Jan. 3 for a motions hearing, and each will have their preliminary hearing beginning at 8:30 a.m. Feb. 20, which may continue into the next day.

R. Walker “Nick” Nickless operated the Esquire Market grocery store in Bonnie Brae for more than 50 years. His son Dan said what made Esquire so successful was getting to know the customers that came in every day.

COURTESY OF THE NICKLESS FAMILY much.

“God love him, he did a ton of stuff that we feel blessed to be somewhat of a benefactor of,” Dan said. “He literally re-did the whole building, from HVAC to new bathrooms to a new kitchen, a new walk-in cooler for the keg system. All of that stuff was in place, which was a real enticement for us.”

Jeff added that having backgrounds in finance has also been helpful. Each will continue working their full-time jobs, and they have hired a management team to take care of the restaurant’s day-to-day operations.

Since taking over, the Nickless family has made some changes to menu options. They offer bar staples such as hamburgers, but also wanted to put some healthy options on the menu. Since the reopening, the most popular item has been a smothered burrito with house-made green chili, Jeff said.

The Nickless family hopes to make the Campus Lounge a place to go for

all ages, even adding a kids menu to the lineup.

“We’ve tried to pay some homage (to Jim). It’s grown, and we think it maybe, hopefully, it’s matured a little bit into more than just a hockey bar,” Dan said. “Our goal is really to have a neighborhood hangout, where it’s really family friendly.”

And, as at the Esquire Market, where generations of family passed through its doors, Dan hopes a similar tradition will take root at the Campus Lounge. Within the Nickless family alone, different generations have sat at the bar ordering drinks.

Dan, who was born in the 1950s, and his son Jeff, born in the 1980s, are just one example.

“There just have been generations of people that have come through here,” Jeff said. “If you grew up in Denver, you know about the Campus Lounge. And I think that’s what makes it so special to people — that it’s been a mainstay in Denver and in this part of town for generations.”

LIFE House of Dior gets

display in Denver

Exhibit covers more than seven decades of high fashion history

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ashion fans need wait no longer for the Denver Art Museum’s latest showcase of high fashion and its place in the art world. “Dior: From Paris to the World” opened Nov. 19 and runs through March 3.

The exhibit marks the first major retrospective of the House of Dior in the United States, meaning it highlights nearly all 70 years of the brand’s existence. It’s not a traveling show and was curated especially for the Denver Art Museum, featuring some pieces rarely seen outside Europe.

“This is really an exciting and amazing moment,” said the Frederick and Jan Mayer Director of the Denver Art Museum, Christoph Heinrich, three days ahead of the exhibit’s grand opening.

The project took more than two years to plan and bring to fruition, project leads said. Dressing the mannequins alone took a team of 12 people one month to complete. Shaping one dress to a mannequin could take a full day, and there are more than 200 dresses in total.

That’s not counting the other accessories, sketches, photographs and artworks (such as Renoir’s and Monet’s) featured in the exhibit. Overall, there are more than 500 objects from throughout Dior’s history in the exhibit.

“It was a very important and ambitious project,” said Florence Müller, the Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art and Fashion for the museum, who curated the show.

Müller, a fashion and art historian, has worked on 15 exhibits about Dior in her career but said this one was “shaped for Denver.” Half of the 15 rooms follow a chronological timeline of the fashion house’s seven creative directors. The other half are thematic.

Each designer to follow Christian Dior — Yves-Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferré, John Galliano, Raf Simons and the present director Maria Grazia Chiuri — brought their own vision to the brand while still paying homage to the founder, Müller said.

Building a legacy Christian Dior founded the fashion house at age 42, approximately 10 years before his death. Leading up to the venture, he’d taken up fashion illustration as a way to support himself during the Great Depression, leaving behind a career running art galleries.

In 1946 he received the financial backing necessary to open a couture house, and in 1947, Dior the label was

This red satin dress was designed by John Galliano for the Haute Couture Fall-Winter 2004 collection in Paris. Galliano was the fifth creative director of Dior, where he worked from 1997 through 2011.

IF YOU GO “Dior: From Paris to the World” is on display at the Denver Art Museum from Nov. 19 through March 3. Located on Level 2 of the Hamilton Building, 100 W 14th Avenue Parkway in Denver, tickets are available for purchase online at denverartmuseum.org or by calling 720-913-0130. Parking is available in the Cultural Center Complex Garage at 12th Avenue and Broadway. born from a townhome at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. The company still operates from this location.

Dior rose on the promise of a “New Look,” also the name of its first collection.

The collection offered women feminine, glamorous styles craved by many in the postwar era and which starkly contrasted with the masculine shapes worn during World War II. The first room of the exhibit begins here. Two rows of nearly all-black ensembles from the New Look collection flank the walkway that leads visitors from the exhibit entrance back through time. One line features full skirts and the other narrow silhouettes.

Some criticized this first collection, pegging it as wasteful luxury, according to the Denver Art Museum, while others took offense to the sensual designs. Many New Look pieces featured emphasized busts, accentuated hips and slim waists.

Still, the house created a lasting legacy and has attracted some of the most famous women in history to its doors, hence the exhibit room dubbed

“Ladies in Dior.”

Grace Kelly wore Dior for her engagement announcement, Marilyn Monroe wore Dior in her last photo shoot and Elizabeth Taylor was among actresses who wore the fashion house’s designs.

Other current names like Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman and Rihanna are but some of the famous women to don Dior pieces today. Dresses worn by each can be found at the exhibit.

More recently, Michelle Obama wore an all-Dior outfit on the cover of Elle magazine’s December issue, and model Karlie Kloss wore a custom Dior dress for her October wedding to Joshua Kushner.

Going global Dior forged a global reach — the result of strategic business moves that earned Christian Dior a reputation for pioneering key aspects of the fashion industry.

“This house was always on the top of the game of the fashion world,” Müller said.

He championed offering women with everything they would need to complete an outfit in one boutique.

From lip colors to shoes and jewelry, the exhibit outlines this approach to fashion in a showroom called “The Total Look.”

Dior also took his fashion house global by licensing other companies to manufacture products under Dior’s control and establishing locations in countries including the United States, Mexico, Chile and ultimately on five continents.

Christian Dior and his time around the world can be seen and felt in designs throughout the fashion house’s history. This largely inspired the exhibit’s finale — a large room with stair-like platforms that stack internationally influenced designs high above the floor.

The exhibit was designed by architecture firm OMA New York and led

by Shohei Shigematsu, partner and director of OMA New York.

The team drew inspiration from Christian Dior’s life and from the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building, merging the two worlds of classical Paris and contemporary Denver. Walkways mimic paths from Christian Dior’s private home and garden, and backdrops are built of raw aluminum, mirroring the Denver Art Museum’s modern exterior.

“I think it gives a very interesting environment, an immersive environment,” Shigematsu said.

Müller said it’s difficult to pick a favorite or most significant piece featured in the exhibit but praised a taffeta evening ensemble worn by Rihanna in 2017 and designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri. Most significant may be the New Look collection, she said, calling it “the manifesto” of Dior.

Heinrich said the museum hopes their exhibit draws people to Denver and showcases the artform of haute couture. On Nov. 16 Müller said she was eager for people to see the show but was sad to think about their time working on it coming to a close.

“The opening of the exhibit is almost,” she said, “the end of the adventure.”

Youth orchestra aims to develop next generation

t some point, all musicians are going to have to deal with the stresses of auditioning. And while this is an important skill to master, there’s also something to be said for letting young musicians develop a love for the art first.

That’s the option the Douglas County Youth Orchestra (DCYO) has COMING embraced.

ATTRACTIONS “Instead of traditional auditions, we hold open rehearsals. This allows the students to bring their instruments and sit in the group and play with us,” said Thomas A. Blomster, the Clarke Reader orchestra’s music director and conductor. “While we have divergent levels of students, all students want to be there, and they learn how to own their position in the orchestra, regardless of ability.”

The DCYO will be performing two winter concerts in Castle Rock to celebrate the season — the first at 11:15 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8 at Christ’s Episcopal Church, 615 Fourth St., and the second at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 9 at New Hope Presbyterian Church, 3737 New Hope Way. A professional percussionist and conductor for 45 years, Blomster believes in setting high expectations for orchestra members as a way to challenge them and hone their musical skills.

“My expectations both musically and behaviorally are of the highest

level,” he said. “In addition, we bring in professional coaches to work with the students in sectionals as well. I believe the DCYO is unique in the metropolitan area as it offers these experiences at the lowest price of any youth orchestra in Colorado.”

The upcoming winter concerts are the culmination of a semester’s worth of work. Not only is it a chance for the students to shine, but it takes their learning to another level.

“One of the reasons we perform a concert twice is because the first performance will ‘hardwire’ a lot of things, and the second performance gives the students a chance to do it again, but with a different perspective,” Blomster explained. “I do my best to choose repertoire that is both a challenge to the students, and introduces both standard orchestral works with lesser-known pieces, including sometimes premieres of new works.”

Colorado Mormon Chorale to sing with symphony Few things capture the holiday season for yours truly as much as music does. Some of the most beautiful music in Western culture has been written and composed to celebrate Christmas.

Every year, the Lakewood Symphony and Colorado Mormon Chorale gather together for a free Christmas concert at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 6465 W. Jewell Ave., at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 6 and 7.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — The Helio Sequence at Globe Hall A lot of the most important albums of my college years have been cel-

ebrating their 10th anniversaries last and this year, and it makes me feel both incredibly old and appreciative of the impact music can have during the formative times.

The Helio Sequence’s fourth album, “Keep Your Eyes Ahead” is one of those important albums, and one that recently celebrated a decade of existence. To celebrate the milestone, band members Brandon Summers and Benjamin Weikel will be performing at the Globe Hall, 4483 Logan St. in Denver, at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 11.

The alt-rock duo has released six full-length albums and several EPs during their career. As musicians from the Pacific Northwest, they trade in the kind of atmospheric rock that have made groups like Death Cab for Cutie and Band of Horses nationally known acts.

As a unique concert feature, the show will kick off with a barbeque at the Globe at 6 p.m. Diners will get to sample small-batch oak-smoked pulled pork, beef brisket and turkey breast. There will be sandwiches, tacos, quarter-pound veggie burgers, mac-n-cheese, citrus slaw and potato salad.

It’s the most ‘Nutcracker’ time of the year Classic production appears at venues throughout Denver metro area

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” was written in 1816 by E.T.A. Hoffmann as a holiday tale for children, and in 1892, Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote the familiar music we hear each holiday season. He collaborated with Russian choreographers Petipa and Lev Ivanov to create “The Nutcracker” Ballet, which brings in the holiday season worldwide, with its story of Clara and a gift from Godfather Drosselmeyer of a mysterious nutcracker, which becomes her Prince — plus a whole cast of fairy tale characters who inhabit her dreams of a festive Christmas: Sugar Plums, et al.

We list a sampling of productions readily available in the Denver metro area (and one in the mountains), hoping many area families will be able to enjoy this lovely tradition.

Colorado Ballet dancer Francisco Estevez as the Nutcracker.

COURTESY OF ALLEN BIRNBACH Young dancers grow up with this music and story as part of the season — progressing through roles as they become taller, older and more skilled.

Only a few reach the level of Colorado Ballet’s stars, but almost all who dance will carry the music with them forever.

Included: dancing dolls, a fierce Mouse King and Soldiers, Sugar Plums, Arabian Dancers, Party Girls and Boys, a lovely Snow Queen and

her Prince — and a number of graceful Snowflakes in white tutus. “Waltz of the Flowers” plays throughout the land and children dress up in their fanciest clothes to see the matinee performances ... Watching them twirl at intermission is a special treat.

• Littleton Youth Ballet, with its school at 1169 W. Littleton Blvd., presents a cast of over 150 children in a production choreographed by a local former Clara — Alison Jaramillo, who danced with the David Taylor Dance Company, when it was headquartered on West Main Street. Guest artists Dana Benton and Yosvani Ramos of Colorado Ballet will dance the lead roles in evening performances and 16-year-olds Lauren Vogel and Tate Ryner will perform at the matinees. Vogel has been a Clown and Rag Doll and Ryner has been Clara’s brother Fritz, the Prince and Chinese Lead. Both won $1 500 scholarships to summer training at the School of the American Ballet last summer and will perform the pas de deux danced by principal dancers all over the nation.

Former school site becomes historic district City council designates six bungalows near Harvard Gulch Park as historic STAFF REPORT

A row of six homes constructed from the pieces of a former school that used to stand in their place has been named the 54th historic district in the city of Denver.

Property owners and Councilmember Paul Kashmann submitted an application in June to make the homes off of Vassar Street a historic district. The properties, now called the Vassar School Bungalows Historic District, are just south of Harvard Gulch Park in the Rosedale neighborhood.

The homes were built from 1925 to 1926 and are historically significant because they represent the growth of south Denver during the pre-Depression era, according to the Landmark Preservation staff brief on the site.

A group of houses was approved to become the Vassar School Bungalows Historic District near Harvard Gulch Park in south Denver. The district includes six houses built between 1925 and 1926 in the Spanish Revival architectural style.

KAILYN LAMB located at 1025 S. Broadway, brought working class people to the area.

The land was also formerly home

to the Vassar School, which was built in 1892, according to the brief. The school served children in the area

from kindergarten through eighth grade. The Vassar closed in 1924 after the nearby Rosedale School was built. It was demolished, and pieces of the building were used to build the six bungalows now standing there, which are built in the Spanish Revival style.

Some recognizable features of Spanish Revival buildings are stucco over brick, red clay barrel tiles, decorative downspouts and more.

The district’s building style filled the architectural criteria needed for historic designation as well.

The Spanish Revival style also gives the district a distinct appearance, which helped to fill the geographical criteria for historical designation.

Landmark staff as well as staff from the City Planning Department voted to bring the application before City Council. At the end of October, council approved the district.
