Longtime educator chosen for top job at DPS Susana Cordova will start in January as superintendent

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT.ORG

Federal Boulevard have long expressed anxiety about the safety of this thoroughfare through their neighborhoods. Our project elevates this voice and serves as a visual cue to drivers to slow down for the people who call this place home,” Ortega said in a news release. “This is the most dangerous stretch of road in Denver and I am focused on connecting the goals of Vision Zero with changes along Federal Boulevard that are led by the community.”

Nearly 30 years after she began her career in Denver as a bilingual teacher, Susana Cordova was selected Dec. 17 as superintendent of the 92,000-student school district.

The Denver school board voted unanimously to appoint Cordova, who has served as the district’s deputy superintendent for the past two years. She will take over Cordova the top job in January.

“I’m incredibly humbled and gratified by the support from the board,” Cordova said after the vote.

While critics have said Cordova shoulders some of the blame for persistent problems in the district, including big test score gaps between students of color and white students, board members praised her for her knowledge of Denver, her experience as an educator, and her ability to, as board member Barbara O’Brien said, “talk to people on the other side of the aisle.”

Since being named a finalist for the job, “Susana was faced with a lot of controversy and she didn’t avoid the controversy, but she leaned into it,” board member Happy Haynes said.

“We all knew Susana as a deep listener,” Haynes said. “But to watch

n the lawn of Civic Center Park, Councilmember Deborah Ortega held up a colorful piece of thin metal that had been cut to look like a person during a pop-up art event. A number of the metal cutouts lay on plastic tarps around her, ready to be

painted for an art installation going in on Federal Boulevard.

The project is meant to help calm traffic on Federal, which was recognized as a high-injury network. A high-injury network is where 5 percent of the streets account for about 50 percent of pedestrian fatalities in Denver, according to the city’s Vision Zero Action Plan. Colfax Avenue and Colorado Boulevard are two of the other streets in the network. Vision Zero is a plan that was put together by the city to reduce the number of pedestrian injuries and deaths.

her in the community sessions, listening to each person regardless of what their concern was and whether they agreed with her or not — she listened deeply. And that’s an extraordinary attribute for a leader.”

Cordova, 52, has spent her entire career in Denver Public Schools. She has been a teacher and principal in district-run schools, and a district administrator overseeing them. A big part of her job in recent years has been helping struggling district-run schools improve.

Drew Schutz is principal at Valverde Elementary, one of the schools that got extra funding and help. Schutz said Cordova provided guidance in tangible ways, visiting Valverde several times and brainstorming strategies that could boost student learning there.

Devotion stood out One action that stands out to him, Schutz said, was when Cordova pitched in when he was trying to recruit parents to help with redesigning the low-performing school.

“She was out here one day — a sweltering hot day in the middle of the summer — and she was going door to door with me in the community,” Schutz said. “That was a point where I realized she was truly

members were enthusiastic in their comments Dec. 17 about Cordova leading the district. Two others — Jennifer Bacon and Carrie Olson — were more measured. Both acknowledged community concerns. Bacon paused before casting her “aye” vote.

One of the main criticisms of Cordova is that, because of her role as a senior district official, she is partly to blame for the district’s failure to serve students of color and those from low-income families as well as it serves white students and those from wealthier families. White students regularly outperform students of color on state standardized tests.

Cordova has acknowledged those gaps and said closing them would a top priority. At last week’s forum, Cordova talked about how she believes training on bias and culturally responsive teaching should be mandatory for all teachers instead of allowing some to opt out.

Cordova’s husband’s job has also caused some to question if she should lead the district. Her husband, Eric Duran, is a banker who helps charter schools get financing for construction projects. Charter schools are publicly funded but independently run, and they are controversial because some people see them as siphoning money and students from district-run schools.

Duran’s firm, D.A. Davidson, has said it wouldn’t do business with Denver Public Schools or any of Denver’s 60 charter schools if Cordova were appointed superintendent.

The art installation was sponsored

by Ortega, Councilmember Rafael Espinoza, as well as Vision Zero and the Community Active Living Coalition (CALC). Ortega is a councilmember at large, and represents the city as a whole.

Espinoza represents District 1, which is in northwest Denver and includes neighborhoods such as Sloans Lake,

Sunnyside and West Colfax. CALC is a community organization that promotes healthy and active living.

Several pop-up events were held around Denver for people to come and paint the cut-out silhouettes. The last one was on Election Day, Nov. 6, at Civic Center Park.

The silhouettes will be installed at West 14th Avenue and Federal Boulevard this month. The art installation will stay up for 18 months.The pieces are painted on both sides so they can be seen from traffic in either direction.

Denver asks for feedback on City Park playground Parks Department plans to finalize designs by the end of the year

FOR MORE INFORMATION An update to the City Park master plan earlier this year determined the park’s Dustin Redd playground, 1700 York St., just east of the Denver Zoo, needs to be replaced.

The Denver Department of Parks and Recreation is planning its final outreach meeting on the playground design at 10 a.m. on Dec. 15 at the Carla Madison Recreation Center, 2401 E. Colfax Ave. Results from local surveys and more information on the Dustin Redd playground project can be found at bit.ly/2qBBasW.

BY BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adjacent to the southwest side of the Denver Zoo is the Dustin Redd playground in City Park, a large set of wooden structures the city is set to replace in the next few years. Home to a golf course and playgrounds, as well as the zoo and Denver Museum of Nature and Science, the park is frequented by more than just neighborhood residents.

Owen Snell, project manager for the Dustin Redd project with Denver Parks and Recreation, said maintenance on the 20-year-old playground has become expensive, and that some fixtures have had to be removed for safety purposes.

Deciding to replace the playground has been a balancing act, Snell said.

While people love the current playground, it is costing the department more money to renovate it rather than replace it. He added that Parks needed to make sure it was a playground that saw a lot of use as well.

“We don’t want to spend all these capital dollars for the public and then have it not be used,” he said.

The playground has been on the department’s project list for a while.

The city decided the playground needed to be replaced because some of the fixtures are in need of replacement. The Parks and Recreation Department has already gone through and removed items from the playground that were no longer safe for children to play on.

KAILYN LAMB

In November 2017, Denver voters approved a bond for $2 million to go toward design and construction of a new playground at City Park. Since then, the department has been working on outreach with the community to determine people’s wants for the new playground.

What makes Dustin Redd unique, Snell said, is that it’s not just a neighborhood park. About 50 percent of the users come from the surrounding neighborhood, but the other half comes from around the Denver metro area.

Some are using the park before or after visiting nearby nonprofits, such as the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of

Nature and Science, both of which abut City Park.

“It’s a playground that’s a little more destination-based instead of just a neighborhood playground,” he said.

City surveys and informational events show that people enjoy the current size of Dustin Redd, and they like the materials that are used for the fixtures, most of which are wood, Snell said. The playground has a more exploratory layout, with climbing platforms.

“There’s a little more edges and pieces for kids to run around,” Snell said.

The city will be looking for feedback

to help determine the new design, he added. “You want to let kids to come up and explore and create this own place in their minds.”

The Parks Department has created two park designs. One is themed around Colorado Heritage with animals and landmarks associated with the state, the other would incorporate castles and dragons. A survey is available online at https:// bit.ly/2qBBasW for feedback from the public.

The city was scheduled to host a final public meeting on Dec. 15. From there, the city will finalize and approve designs. The Parks Department is aiming to put bids out for the project by the end of 2019. Snell estimated that if construction starts in early 2020, the project could take between six and eight months and be completed by the end of that year.

Businesses get reprieve from new sales tax rules May 31 is new date for protocol to take effect

BY TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The Colorado Department of Revenue has extended the deadline for Colorado businesses to comply with new sales tax rules to May 31, 2019.

The emergency rules, which were enacted Sept. 26, originally were to take effect Nov. 30, but amid concerns from legislators and the business community, the DOR announced that it was granting an extension until May 31.

“As part of our rulemaking process to implement sales tax rules for in-state and out-of-state retailers, we have heard from legislators and the business community, and the Department of Revenue agrees it is important for the state to take the time to get this right,” said Colorado Department of Revenue Executive Director Mike Hartman.

According to Dan Carr, Department of Revenue taxation communications manager, Colorado is among 33 states that created the emergency rules in response to 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.

The emergency rules make it mandatory for Colorado retailers who ship products out of their jurisdiction to collect sales tax based on the rate of where the item is shipped. Supporters of the decision have said the move levels the playing field and could bring in as much as $48 million in revenue to Colorado in the first year, with as much as $200 million in subsequent years.

“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,’” said Democratic state Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp of Arvada, chair of the Sales and Use Tax Simplification Task Force. “This new law could bring in as much as $48 million this year.”

The website colorado.gov/tax was created by the DOR to help Colorado retailers understand and navigate the new laws, and includes a “hold harmless” list that makes it easier for business owners to look up the tax at the item’s destination.

“If a retailer uses the platform and the charge is wrong, they will be held harmless,” said Carr.

The DOR will evaluate the need for another extension as May 31 nears, and Carr said the additional time will give the state Legislature an opportunity to find innovative solutions to streamline and simplify our sales tax collection laws in accordance with the wishes of the residents of Colorado.

Meth playing bigger role in overdose crisis, officials say

BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A bigger share of U.S. drug overdose deaths are being caused by methamphetamine, government health officials reported.

The number of fatal overdoses involving meth more than tripled between 2011 and 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Dec. 12. The percentage of overdose deaths involving meth grew from less than 5 percent to nearly 11 percent.

Meth is not the main killer among illicit drugs. Fentanyl was involved in the highest percentage of fatal overdoses in 2016, followed by heroin and cocaine. Meth was fourth. But it was only eighth as recently as 2012.

It’s not clear why meth overdoses are growing, but some people who had been abusing opioid pain pills or shooting heroin have turned to meth, a stimulant, to offset the downer effects of those drugs, said Theodore Cicero, a Washington University researcher who has studied the rise of meth use among people who use opioid drugs.

Meth is most often smoked, snorted or injected. Chronic use has been tied

to sleeplessness, paranoia and other mood and mental health disorders. And the effect of high doses on the body can include convulsions, rapid heart rate and other heart problems.

“It’s a very dangerous drug to mess around with,” Cicero said.

Meth has become more prevalent in certain states, including West Virginia, which has the nation’s highest overdose death rate.

Brandon Kirk, a 31-year-old former pharmacy school student, abused prescription opioid painkillers for years but went into recovery earlier this year.

In a recent interview, he said it’s become increasingly difficult to get opioid painkillers in that part of the state.

“It’s flooded with methamphetamine,” he said.

The CDC report looked at death certificates on 64,000 U.S. overdose deaths in 2016 and compared them with the five previous years. Many of the people who died had used multiple drugs — fentanyl was often in the mix.

Fewer than one-third of the heroin deaths involved heroin alone, and about a quarter of cocaine deaths were cocaine alone. About half of the meth death certificates listed that drug only.

VOICES Living on borrowed time, and in no rush to pay back

I

conclude every calendar year of columns with one that explores what makes life worth living.

The time has come, the walrus said. This year’s will be a little different.

First, I think an important question to ask is this: Is life worth living?

Many think it is not.

And too many of the many are far too young. The statistics are very depressing.

Anthony Bourdain answered “No” in 2018. So did Kate Spade, and so did two former UCLA basketball stars, Billy Knight and Tyler Honeycutt.

Knight wrote, “I’m lost in life, and I feel like there’s no hope. I have no friends with me here. I have no wife, girlfriend. I have nothing.”

Knight had been arrested less than a month before his suicide and charged with sexually abusing a child.

It hasn’t been a pretty year in America. It hasn’t been great, that’s for sure.

But I’m planning to stick around.

My past lists have always included obvious entries, like Jennifer and the dog and fine art and films. I thought I would forgo them this time, and cite some that are more unusual.

Like the “tomcat smell” of eucalyptus.

QUIET was Raymond DESPERATION That Chandler’s wording.

I wish it had been mine.

Eucalyptus trees were common near our home in Fullerton, Calif. When I get a whiff now, I time-travel to 1958-60.

I was a kid with a bicycle, a baseball Craig Marshall glove, a transistor raSmith dio, and zero worries.

The color navy.

The Durango Diner, 957 Main Ave. in Durango. Don’t leave without asking owner Gary Broad for a jar of Durango Diner Green Chili. The best ever.

One-hundred-percent cotton, long-

sleeved T-shirts. Plain front or alma mater.

Having food placed in front of me by a waiter or waitress who forgoes the perfunctory and insincere, singleword directive: “Enjoy.”

The best college fight song ever: Michigan’s “The Victors.” It was composed by a student named Louis Elbel in 1898, and it was first performed publicly by John Philip Sousa.

They named a field after Elbel. I think he deserves more than that. The song reaches into me for a number of reasons.

We lived in Ann Arbor and I became a devoted Wolverine. My father and sister both attended and graduated.

There might be more to it than that.

It stirs my goosebumps.

Next: Paying attention to anything Kanye West says is still optional.

Next: my thesaurus. Stephen King is against them. But what would I do without synonyms? I’d be astray, adrift, afield, amiss, awry, lost, off course, off the mark and wandering,

is what.

Next: the truth. Montaigne said, “The reverse of truth has a hundred thousand forms, and a field indefinite, without bound or limit.”

I am not referring to the misdirections needed for fiction. I am referring to honesty coming from those we elected and from those we trust, like educators and cops.

Apple pie.

Saying “No, thank you,” when an invitation comes across the desk I’d rather not accept.

Amazon Prime. It’s true. The convenience is beyond any reservations I would have if I had any reservations.

I would be in contempt of the concept if I did not mention this small weekly space, and the opportunity in it.

Hey, ‘19. I’m looking forward to you.

A holiday message of peace, love, hope and joy

I

t’s been said that faith and fear, or hope and fear, are kind of like the same thing, a belief that something will happen in the future.

Now whether we want or choose to believe that whatever is about to happen will be something awesome and positive or miserable and negative is really up to us.

And whether or not you are a person of faith, any kind of faith, celebrating Christmas or Hanukkah or any other holiday this season. Or maybe none at all. And whether or not you are someone who considers themselves agnostic or possibly even an atheist, my hope is that you will receive this prayer and message with the love and intent with which it is written.

Today I pray for the restoration of hope and faith in a world filled with worry, fear and doubt. May you be blessed with a sense of peace and calm; may the season of hope and light bring upon you the confidence and courage to seek out peace when others choose to look for a battle; may what you think about and hope for in this life be built upon the foundation of love and kindness, love and gentleness, and love and forgiveness.

DENVER Since 1926

Today I pray for your health. May you be blessed with strength and endurance to fight whatever illness you are battling. May you experience healing and remain hopeful and confident in your healing. May you be blessed by the compassion of your family and friends; may you be blessed WINNING by the wisdom and WORDS knowledge of your physicians; and may you feel comforted and surrounded by your nurses and caregivers who are with you each day.

Today I pray for sobriety and recovery from addiction.

Michael Norton And I pray for the families and friends who support, love, and stand by those closest to them who are in the struggle to recover. May this season of love and blessings be the season that brings the blessing of determination, hope and help that can change lives and restore those affected to a life of clean and sober living. May the families impacted remember that we can hate the addic-

Today I pray for the healing of relationships. May this season of love and joy bring together those who have drifted apart; may the blessing of love and forgiveness be with those who desire restoration in their relationships; may the blessing of understanding and acceptance mend fences in families and friendships where lingering hurts and disappointments may exist.

May all that work through and do with each other and for each other be done in love.

Today I pray for all of the families who are remembering loved ones this holiday season. Perhaps it’s the first season where their presence will be missed. I pray that the loving memories and happy reminders of those we have loved and lost will soothe the pain and the hurt of missing them so very much this holiday season. May the blessing of peace and love fill the hearts and souls of those who are grieving. May the happiness and joy of those we have lost never be forgotten.

Today I pray for our community, our country, and the world. May this season of grace and mercy, of light

May we all come to the place where we can and will recognize the need for unity and love. May this blessing be upon each and every one of us.

Wishing you all peace, hope, love and joy during this holiday season.

Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and happy holidays!

So how about you? Is there something that I have left out and where I can pray specifically for you and with you? Will you do me a favor and pray with me? I would love to hear your prayer requests and your story at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we can all come together, regardless of our belief system, it really will be a better than good life.

New flavor for Broadway One Barrel latest in slew of new businesses in downtown Englewood

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The food industry brought Jamie Elward and Jordan Blaydes, now wife and husband, together — but Elward didn’t think opening a restaurant was in the plans.

“Jordan, it was his dream,” said Elward, who met him about four years ago when they worked at Steakhouse 10, just blocks away from where the couple opened their own bistro and wine bar on Dec. 4.

A partner asked the couple if they wanted to open a restaurant — Elward thought it was a crazy idea. But the plan progressed, with a bit of luck: They met the man who would become their chef on a honeymoon after their marriage a year ago.

And after two years of effort, One Barrel, featuring more than 100 bottles and 25 wines by the glass, is finally open and looks to put a fine-dining establishment on the historic 3400 block of South Broadway.

Englewood “really needed something with great wine,” said Elward, 33, and now, it’s open on the city’s downtown block. “We thought, we had gone to wine bars, and they always have small plates. I get hungry when I drink wine.”

Sitting on the ground floor of the Broadway Lofts apartments on the corner of the block, One Barrel hopes to play a key role in the South Broadway ecosystem.

“We want people to be able to come for shows at the Gothic Theatre — start at the (Brew on Broadway), come here and have dinner, work their way down,” Elward said. “We want to bring that missing piece to Englewood.”

Her bistro comes amid a wave of new businesses in the downtown Englewood area: Samadhi Yoga and Peace Cellar, which features plants, jewelry, clothes and more, held openings early this year on Broadway’s 3400 block. The Duffer Haus bar opened at 3470 S. Broadway in March.

Other new faces include Aki Sushi at 3484 S. Broadway, The Tabletop Tap — a bar also offering board games and video games — at 3394 S. Broadway and the bgood medical-marijuana dispensary at 11 W. Hampden Ave. Elward and Blaydes live a half-mile away from One Barrel, and they didn’t want to open anywhere else.

“We live in Englewood and really believe in this community,” Elward said. “We’ve gotten so close to the businesses in the area.”

The Breakfast Queen, just across the street, let One Barrel’s chef, David Polakoff, come in at night and use the kitchen for training.

“Without them, we wouldn’t have been able to open on time,” said Elward, who said she’s gotten to know the owners at the nearby Whiskey Biscuit restaurant and bar and the

Patrons sit at the bar on opening day Dec. 4 at One Barrel, a wine bar and restaurant on the historic 3400 block of South Broadway in Englewood. The business adds a new twist to an area known for its bar scene.

Elward has experience managing, marketing, serving and bartending, and Blaydes, the general manager, has served and bartended as well, Elward said. They don’t see other restaurants as competition, but as collaborators.

“We want them to get along, boost people up,” Elward said.

On opening night, customers began to trickle in at the bar, under the warm lighting and décor. Steps away, Sam Davis, 28, came with two friends who work with her at a nearby school. They were among the first to take a table.

“We frequently go out for drinks after work, and we were excited to see a new wine bar in the area,” said Davis, who lives in Denver. “We really like it — it’s lovely in here.”

Cliff Dickinson, 35, lives just a few steps away, upstairs from One Barrel at the Broadway Lofts apartments.

“Between The Whiskey Biscuit, to the Englewood Grand next door and Tabletop Tap, I cycle between those,” Dickinson said. “It’s nice to be in walking distance to everything.”

New Year’s Eve overflowing with events

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

All over the world, people celebrate the beginning of a new year. In years past, readers may have watched music and fireworks across the nation — across the world — including New York City’s famous Ball Drop at Times Square, as the music of “Auld Lang Syne” plays.

Many of us have sung that over the years, wherever we happened to land on the final day of December.

Recordings used are often of the Guy Lombardo version, which his orchestra played in New York City each New Year’s Eve from 1929 to 1976. A quick search tells us it means something like “days gone by,” and is sung as a symbol of being with friends on that night. Poet Robert Burns wrote it down from the traditional ballad in the late 18th century and the tradition continues ...

Denver area celebrations are extensive, including major hotels and restaurants across the metro area — one will want to be sure of a reservation wherever one chooses to go — and there are gatherings, concerts and more, if one is looking to be with many others — or perhaps a sip of bubbly at home with family or friends is one’s choice. Or perhaps a movie and a nice late supper. Foods served often include legumes: blackeyed peas, lentils, etc., because they resemble coins. Some countries feature pork (Cuba, Austria, Italy) and others enjoy ring-shaped cakes (Netherlands, Mexico, Greece, etc.)

Many area choices assume a fairly

fat wallet.  A personal favorite near home is the family-friendly free fireworks display on Denver’s 16th Street Mall, if weather is decent. A stunning display is shot from the roofs of tall buildings at 9 p.m. and again at midnight, spilling over the dark facades with a blaze of color. Families with children might want to enjoy a sweet treat first and get established at a good vantage point to watch — somewhere between 15th and 17th streets … Parking is of course an issue — consider arrival by light rail.

Some may wish to enjoy the Colorado Symphony’s early program of Viennese music first, then walk over to 16th. And there are three parties at Union Station: Great Hall. Lower Level and Cooper Lounge — reservations required in all — 720-460-3738.  Also downtown: The Decadence NYE Party at the Colorado Convention Center (two nights, Dec. 30 and 31); Resolution NYE at McNichols Civic Center Building, where there is a view of fireworks (tickets start at $119); White Rose Gala at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver Center Performing Arts (charity event, live music, costumes, usually sells out — “Great Gatsby” theme); NYE at the Fillmore Auditorium with Sound Tribe Sector Nine; and a short drive north, String Cheese Incident plays at 1st Bank Center in Broomfield. The Sherman Street Event Center holds a black tie party with live bands.  Children have a chance to celebrate at the Children’s Museum (9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with ball drops and count downs) and there is skating at the downtown Demver rink at Skyline Park — free if you bring skates.

Upgrading your bathtub to a shower system can prevent fall-related injuries The National Aging in Place Council suggests that eliminating an old bathtub for a walkin shower can greatly increase bathroom safety and end fall-related injuries. The study also recommends switching to a handheld showerhead and installing grab bars to increase bathing safety.

M

ost seniors want to stay in their homes, but bathing safely and independently can become increasingly difficult with age. Transforming your bathtub/shower combination into a walkin shower can be an ideal solution. Dreamstyle Remodeling offers a new shower solution, featuring Kohler products, that fits directly into the existing tub space and has been engineered specifically for safety, cleanliness and retaining independence while bathing.

Dreamstyle Remodeling’s walk-in showers benefit from over 140 years of Kohler engineering and bathroom innovation.

This long-term innovation means the showers are more than just function, they’re built for aesthetics as well, and designed specifically to enhance a home’s unique beauty. As a company, Dreamstyle Remodeling acknowledges it’s tough to be faced with bathing difficulties in your own home – but that shouldn’t have to detract from your quality of life.

The customizable showers come with a variety of features as well, so the bathroom can be personalized with ideal fixtures – things like Kohler’s Choreograph walls, which are made of natural marble in any pattern imaginable, and custom accessories like shelves, seating, sleek faucets, and the option of an Awaken handshower kit – a removable handheld showerhead with different spray options and easy access if bathing has become difficult.
