Thanksgiving in Greater Park Hill Community Greater Park Hill Community volunteers assembled and distributed 300 Thanksgiving dinner boxes with turkey and all the trimmings to neighbors in need this year. That number up from 294 last year, and a big jump from the 57 families served in 2013. From left: GPHC, Inc.

Board Officers Board Chair: Tracey MacDermott Occupation: Clinical Trials Manager for the department of surgery at the CU School of Medicine. What inspired you to take the leadership position? Many years
Secretary: Bernadette Kelly Occupation: Construction Project Manager for Jefferson County Public Schools Your role: As secretary and zoning chair, I address zoning issues in Park Hill such as variance and amendment requests, and new or changes to liquor or marijuana licenses. I attend and maintain minutes for Board/Community and Executive Committee meetings. What drew you to GPHC, Inc.? I needed a zoning variance for alterations to my alley house (existing non-conforming) and asked for GPHC support. There was a need for a new zoning chair as well as a representative for my district, so I volunteered for both positions. That was in January 2008 and I have been involved ever since. What are your goals? I want to continue to establish an active and ongoing dialog between GPHC and our designated city council member for positive and smart growth in Park Hill that fits the needs of our community and the character of our neighborhood. What you love about Park Hill: It feels like a small town in a big city with a great sense of community, cool locally owned businesses and restaurants, our parkways for walking or cycling, open space and a continued on page 4 Thank You To Our 2016 Advertisers

ago I was asked to serve as treasurer for the neighborhood association. [My wife] Heather and I had just gone through a rezoning for our part of Park Hill and I wasn’t sure I had the capacity to do anymore for our neighborhood. Over the years I have seen great changes within the organization due to the hard work of previous chairs and so I owe it to them and our neighborhood to continue the work they have done. Describe your style. To lead by example. We have many leaders within our organization and neighborhood. My hope is that we can continue to work together to continue to improve this wonderful neighborhood. What is your favorite thing about Park Hill? The many individuals who are not afraid to speak up. Park Hill has been presented with many challenges and every time someone from this neighborhood has been a voice and a set of working hands to work through the issue. What areas will you focus on in the year ahead? I hope that GPHC can inspire others to take up new projects that help our community, no matter how large or small. I hope others will also volunteer and take the lead on something that improves this wonderful neighborhood. What help do you need to make the improvements you want to make? There is truly a way for everyone to be involved at Greater Park Hill. I would like every board member to find an area that speaks to them and help guide development in that area. Neighbors can keep helping to keep our Food Pantry stocked. Every Monday and Wednesday we need volunteers to help run the Food Pantry. Last but not least, come to our community

Bardenay, The Park Hill Way
yo-Ho-Ho and a Bottle of Bardenay
Dear Neighbors,
A packed Greater Park Hill community meeting meeting Nov. 3 threw nothing but challenges and minutiae at Kevin Settles, who flew in from Idaho to tell us how much he was going to invest in our community. He wants to renovate the vacant old Tower Theater into a distillery-cum-restaurant that will be as unpretentious on the inside (no reservations, no host stand) as quiet on the outside. Instead of a welcome and questions about his new place, he was met with same old hand-wringing about change; traffic, safety, and parking, the things over which Settles has zero control. And a new concern, parking valets running up the street to fetch cars. If neighbors have real concerns about traffic, safety, or change, their issue is with lawmakers and zone-makers, not Settles. Kearney Street’s layout has been set in concrete for decades. What I heard at the meeting was a guy with a proven restaurant formula who is complying with everything the law and zoning requires of him, without asking for favors, exceptions or variances. He will preserve the old building’s mass and footprint with an upbeat facelift. As a preservationist, that’s admirable. With respect to the most vocal issues that were raised at the meeting: Kearney Street will be no more impassable than it is when an SUV captain drops anchor in the middle of the street to offload little darlings at Dardano’s, and then perhaps have a chat with a friend coming out of Cake Crumbs, oblivious to the line of cars behind them. Kearney Street will be no less safe for people sleepwalking across the street, sensory deprived by smartphones. A new restaurant won’t stop kamikaze bicyclists clueless about traffic safety, or parents pushing strollers up the middle of the street The surrounding neighborhood will have no less street parking than when spaces are filled with contractor trucks, dumpsters, trailers, boats and motor homes enough to fill Bardenay twice. And wouldn’t it be nice if the kid running up the street was a valet and not a burglar? Mr. Settles is betting a boatload of cash he can make a go of a place that’s been the missing tooth in Kearney’s smile for ages. The neighborhood is way better off if he succeeds and no worse if he fails.
Just like you, we cherish our neighborhood. We love being so close to Cake Crumbs and Oblio’s Pizza. We love riding our bikes down 22nd Street with our kids in tow. We love walking our dogs down our tree-lined streets. And just like you, we would love to see a new restaurant or two come to our neighborhood. But we are not interested in sacrificing Park Hill’s character for one more choice. Unfortunately, that is what Bardenay is asking us to do. Bardenay is a distillery/ restaurant sized for the 16th Street Mall, not Kearney Street. At 236 seats, it would be larger than all the other restaurants in our commercial strip, combined. Its disproportionate size would no doubt impact our favorite locally-owned businesses, not to mention raise significant issues regarding parking, traffic, safety, and noise for the entire neighborhood. We are here to offer solutions. Together we must show Bardenay owner Kevin Settles that there actually is a concrete way for his business to enrich, rather than endanger, everything we value about our community. We need you to sign on in support of a Bardenay for Park Hill. What is Bardenay for Park Hill? • A Bardenay that has 125 seats (still bigger than the neighborhood’s largest restaurant). • A Bardenay that commits to off-street parking solutions for at least 50 percent of its driving guests (initial traffic estimates show 115+ additional cars at peak hours). • A Bardenay that closes by 11 p.m., like other neighborhood bars. • A Bardenay that donates 1 percent of its profit to our public Park Hill schools. • And a Bardenay that agrees to a mediated process for handling disputes that arise with businesses or neighbors. All of this can be codified and agreed to within a Good Neighbor Agreement (GNA) or other legally-binding contract between Settles and the Park Hill community. It’s actually quite common. Cherry Tomato and even the tiny Bistro Barbes have GNAs. If we are to take Mr. Settles at his word, he is willing to create a Bardenay for Park Hill. After all, Bardenay’s website proclaims that its “success depends upon the goodwill of the communities in which it operates.” If you have concerns or unanswered questions about Bardenay, if you want to protect and enhance the locally-owned businesses on Kearney Street, if you want choices that fit Park Hill and are responsive to our community’s needs, join us and the more than 75 diverse neighbors who have already become engaged in finding such a solution.

Peace On Earth
The dove represents peace of the deepest kind. Doves are gentle birds that mate for life and nurture their young. They have been used as a peace symbol almost universally from the beginning of recorded history. The Eurasian Collared-Dove, pictured here, gets its name from the black half-collar at the nape of the neck. The doves can often be spotted in pairs, cooing from phone wires and fence posts throughout the neighborhood. Photo by Park Hill resident Mark Silverstein

As a board member I would like to participate in that conversation and contribute to preserving the character of the neighborhood, parkways, and parks.

My wife, Sandy, and I have lived in Park Hill since 1968.

Guest commentary
In our backyard My wife and I have lived in Park Hill since 1973. We moved into this wonderful neighborhood at the tail end of the blockbusting, which had divided Park Hill along racial lines in the 1950s and 1960s, and we wanted to live in a racially integrated neighborhood. One reason why this is such a welcoming neighborhood is the work of the Park Hill Action Committee, which grew into the Greater Park Hill Community, Inc. Rev. J. Carlton Babbs was the minister at Park Hill United Methodist Church from 1955 until his death in 1978. He and others tirelessly supported racial integration in Park Hill,

all over Park Hill, but I saw only two Trump signs in our neighborhood.
‘I just don’t want them around me’ The New York Times published a fine article on Nov. 15, “Political Divide Splits Relationships – And Thanksgiving, Too.” In the piece, a team of reporters interviewed voters around the country who found that their family relationships had been greatly disrupted because of hard feelings arising from differing views about the election and its result. A software developer in Boulder canceled his plans to go to Texas for Thanksgiving, where his family members are all Trump supporters. One couple, Clinton supporters, changed their wedding plans from a wedding in the United States to a venue in Italy because they knew that relatives in Florida – strong Trump supporters – would not make the trip. “I just don’t want them around me on the most important day of my life,” the bride said. The reporters spoke with Misty Bastian, an anthropologist in Pennsylvania who is originally from rural Tennessee. Bastian told them that she had sensed a “parting of the political ways” from her family in Ten-

nessee for a long time, but that her support for Hillary Clinton seemed to be “the last nail in the coffin.”
The sun rose There is a great need for healing. One way I try to cope is by displaying my copy of the motivational poster, “Keep Calm and Carry On,” which was developed by the British government in 1939 amid widespread fears about the coming Second World War. I greatly admire the statesmanship and leadership of President Obama, who remarked after the election that on Nov. 9, the sun rose. A statement of elegant simplicity. Mr. Obama and Mr. Trump met in the Oval Office shortly after the election, and the president promised his full cooperation in the transition. In his First Inaugural Address in 1861, President Abraham Lincoln, seeking to avoid the Civil War after seven southern states had already formed the Confederate States of America, appealed to “the better angels of our nature.” It is my fervent hope that the better angels of our nature will bring us through this very tumultuous time.

Tips To Reduce Stress During The Holidays For Some, It’s Post-Election Blues By Maya Wheeler Special to the GPHN
After months of debates, contentious advertisements, and unprecedented political moments, the 2016 election ended in a way that was surprising and upsetting to many people. Regardless of your political affiliation, most would agree that this election season has been especially divisive — it has disrupted our personal well-being and impacted our relationships with family, friends and coworkers. For many, this conflict will continue into the holidays. According to the Mayo clinic, increased stress may affect an individual’s body, mental health, and behavior contributing to illnesses like high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Reducing stress around post-election conflict should focus on things within your control such as being prepared on how to handle conversations. Self-control may include deciding whether to: • Avoid conversation surrounding the election. • Focus on maintaining a respectful relationship with the individual by not reacting to negative comments; instead thank the person for their input and accept their difference in opinion. • Redirect the discussion to one that focuses on what is happening in the moment; like the food being served, music being played, activities going on at the event, etc. Planning ahead enables people to manage conflict in a positive way and avoid unwanted tension and arguments. Disagreement doesn’t feel good and it takes away the importance of why your loved ones, friends, and you came together. Difficult conversations aren’t the only things that can cause people to experience holiday stress. Unrealistic expectations, fi-
nancial pressures, and excessive commitments can cause stress and anxiety during the holidays. It can take the form of stress caused by but not limited to: The amount of money you spend; overextending yourself; eating and drinking more food and alcohol than usual; and spending too much time with family, or not enough. It is always good to prepare for holiday stress before it becomes overwhelming. Develop a self-care plan to help maintain your physical, mental or emotional health such as exercising or gardening, reading a book, sewing, etc. Self-care plans can make us feel healthy, relaxed and ready to take on life challenges. In addition, set priorities and realistic expectations. Be aware of what you are eating. The Dahlia Campus for Health and Wellbeing, at 3401 Eudora St., can help you to deal with holiday stress. The campus offers a comprehensive array of services and activities that assist in maintaining or developing a self-care plan. Free and low-cost programs offered at the campus can help in relieving stress include Capoeira (Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines dance, fight, music, and rhythm), Tai Chi and Zumba. The campus provides other free or low cost services, including Sewall Preschool, Kids In Need of Dentistry Dental Clinic (KIND) and access to fresh produce and healthy protein. To learn more about the services offered, visit mhcd.org/dahlia-campus-for-healthwell-being, call 303-300-6140, or stop by the campus on Dec. 6 between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. for a free event to celebrate Mind, Body & Soul at the Day of Well-Being for All. Maya Wheeler is a community advocate dedicated to improving access to services and information to keep individuals, families and children safe. She provides outreach for the Dahlia campus.

Leading, continued from page 5 ligence. The common denominator is communication and people contact, with a bit wider variety of people than most. Your role? I’m new, so my role is yet to be defined. Whatever is in my background that GPHC can use is certainly on offer. What drew you to GPHC, Inc.?: When you love a neighborhood as much as we love Park Hill, you incur a responsibility to have some involvement in its maintenance and success. My daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter recently moved here, so the neighborhood is a long-term investment for us. GPHC involvement seemed the best way to initiate things and improve whatever needs improving. The people we’ve met through guiding five home tours are just damn nice to boot. What would you like to accomplish? As a preservationist I’d like to help insure Park Hill maintains its leafy, human scale ambience, with local businesses and a broad assortment of housing and service options for kids, seniors and everyone in between. What you love about Park Hill: Park Hill’s setting is just perfect. Close to downtown with a cleaner, more human feel. What addition would you like to see in Park Hill? Charging stations for electric vehicles would be a nice nod to a cleaner future. The ex-offender community (yes folks, they’re here) could probably use some outreach as well. Best contact: Email is gdennis67@centurylink.net, phone contact should be through the GPHC Office.
Dave Felice Occupation: I am a computer hardware technician at CenturyLink. I am retiring this year after nearly 39 years at “the phone company.” What drew you to GPHC, Inc.? I believe everyone has an obligation to be involved at whatever level she or he is comfortable. The Registered Neighborhood Organization is an opportunity to represent all the members of the community. In collaboration with other RNOs in the Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation consortium, Greater Park Hill can effectively represent the interests of Denver citizens. GPHC is an organization that truly serves the neighborhood needs. Your goals? I will let the organization determine the objectives and goals. GPHC
has many responsibilities. Our hard working volunteers provide a tremendous community service resource. What do you love about Park Hill? The community is very much like a small town, with a variety of ethnicities, of social interests, of commerce, and of strong residential character.
Who has been naughty or nice? Merry Christmas!
Louis Plachowski Occupation: Owner/Managing Broker of the real estate company, DenverWelcomeHome.com LLC. What drew you into GPHC? Park Hill has been very good to me both in a personal and professional way. Being involved was one way to give thanks to the community. Your goals? I hope to continue to serve and perhaps inspire others to do likewise. What do you love about Park Hill? Park Hill’s beautiful streets and charming homes. I enjoy my friendly neighbors who are from all different backgrounds. I like to shop at the lovely, quaint shops that are not part of corporate chains. I especially enjoy the close proximity to City Park.
2255 Oneida Street 303.388.2255 www.parkhillvet.com
Pat Quinn Occupation: I have had many, quite different, occupations during my career, but by far the best is retiree. What drew you to GPHC, Inc.? We have lived in Park Hill for over 15 years, enjoying the people we have come to know, the places, the parks. We wanted to become involved in the community, and the best way to do that is with GPHC. I help distribute our newspaper, and help with the Garden Walk every June. Your goals? I would like to see expansion of our very successful Food Pantry, so more residents can be served. In addition, I would like our building to become the center for local meetings and Park Hill resident events to expand our presence in the community. Best contact: Via the GPHC office.
During a time of divisiveness, stand firm for the values of Jesus: He came to proclaim an open, inclusive, just and compassionate world for all people. This is God’s gift to the world this Christmas.

Denver Police Department Officer Sharon Avendaño, with members of the Senior Girl Scouts Troop 3573.
Girl Power! Story and Photo by Kristin Coulter, Leader Troop 3573
Most crimes are committed by males, Denver Police Department Officer Sharon Avendaño, explained during an October meeting with Park Hill 8th and 9th grade Senior Girl Scouts. And while the Denver Police Department is only approximately 10 percent female, women are important to the force. She told the girls that female police officers, just by virtue of being female, often have greater power to defuse potentially volatile situations between the police and citizens. In Avendaño’s experience, when testosterone levels are high, intense situations can quickly deteriorate. However when a female police officer is involved, often a citizen’s anger can be diffused and you can

hear a few “yes ma’am’s.” The Denver native and former Girl Scout Brownie says she has been on the force for 20 years and has never had to fire her gun or a Taser. Girl Scout Troop 3573 invited Avendaño, the District 2 Community Resource Officer, to their troop meeting on Oct. 13 to learn about law enforcement in general and as a potential career. The teenage scouts also learned about the Cadet Program. The program allows high school graduates interested in a career in public safety (police officer, firefighter or deputy sheriff ) a parttime job and tuition at either Metro State University of Denver or the University of Colorado Denver. After a lively chat about her adventures on the force, Avendaño told the girls to study hard in school so that all career options are open to them.

Colfax Avenue, Park Hill’s southernmost border, lost out the last time around, in 2007, because there was no Business Improvement District in place to propose projects or assume a maintenance responsibility. Thanks to the Colfax Mayfair Business Improvement Business District, a plan is now in place, including we have a streetscape plan and a collaboration with three other BIDs on Colfax. Take a few minutes today to let the city know you want “Streetscape and Pedestrian Safety Improvements on Colfax Avenue” on the 2017 bond list.

Gun Laws In Australia David Shoebridge, a state senator from New South Wales Australia, is the guest speaker at a special forum to talk about gun violence and gun laws in Australia. Park Hill Congregational Church is sponsoring the forum on Thursday, Dec. 1 from 7 - 8:30 p.m. The address is 2900 Leyden St. After the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, Australia enacted strong gun regulations, particularly banning assault rifles. Sen. Shoebridge will talk about their current laws, how they came about, outcomes from it (Australia hasn’t had a mass shooting since 1996 laws were enacted), and the growing gun culture in Australia. Following Sen. Shoebridge’s presentation, there will be a brief discussion of election results and the path forward in Colorado. The forum is co-sponsored by Colorado Ceasefire and Colorado Faith Communities United to End Gun Violence (CFCU).
Love And Music At Montview Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church at 1980 Dahlia St. will hold a Service of Remembrance on Mon, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. For many, feelings of sadness and loss arise and linger during this otherwise sparkly time of year. Through poetry, prayers, and thoughtful music selections, this service will bear witness to the contrasts people experience during the holiday season – distress and peace; despair and hope; sorrow and joy; apathy and love. Advent itself is a season of darkness, and we are called to
dwell deeply in it before we can welcome the dawning of light. Contact Rebecca Gale (rebecca@rebeccagale.com) for further information. On Sunday, Dec. 18 Montview Boulevard Presbyterian will present Traditional Lessons & Carols to celebrate the Music and Scripture of Christmastide. The entire neighborhood is invited to participate in Lessons and Carols, a special hour that retells the Christmas story through scripture and music. This age-old Montview tradition has moved this year from Sunday afternoon to twice on Sunday morning, at 9 a.m. and again at 11 a.m.
Ujamaa Holiday Market This year marks 16 years of the Ujamaa Holiday Market, a cultural celebration in Denver. Ujamaa – “cooperative economics” – is the fourth principle of Kwanzaa and is celebrated by supporting small community business and putting the law of circulation and economic balance into action during the holiday season of December. The market showcases some of Denver’s unique and creative businesses with a cultural flair. Local talent, book talks, think tanks, cultural foods, live entertainment, and children’s market will be a part of this year’s market. The cultural celebration of businesses, film, jazz, youth market and community connection is Saturday, Dec. 10, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at New Hope Baptist Church, 3701 Colorado Blvd. For vendor and general information visit Ujamaaconnection.org or Ujamaa hotline: Deborah Fard 303-6309517.
Tour Denver With Goodstein Author and historian Phil Goodstein has been wandering the streets for 30 years, walking backwards as he leads groups on tours of the city. Join him on Sunday, Dec. 4 for a free talk at the Book Bar, at the southeast corner of West 43rd Avenue and Tennyson Street. Goodstein will focus on The Denver Civic Center and the city’s North Side, emphasizing the distinctive role of the city’s Berkeley neighborhood. The presentation is from 4-5:30 p.m. On Tuesday Dec. 13, Goodstein will hold a free talk at City Stacks, a combination bookstore and coffeehouse downtown at 1743 Wazee St. There, he’ll be presenting on LoDo and the Civic Center, including 14th Street, Larimer Square, and Lower Downtown. The event is from 6 –7:30 p.m.
Lighting The Way For Students Planning is underway for the 2nd Annual Light The Way For Denver Students Luminaria charity event in Park Hill and Stapleton. In its second year, the event’s organizers hope to at least double the number of participating households within the Park Hill and Stapleton neighborhoods to “light the way” on Dec. 24. “My vision for years to come is that each luminary will represent a student here in Denver, and that Park Hill and Stapleton households will light-up our neighborhoods in support of the growth and development of our kids,” said organizer

Winter is coming! Do you dread winter or do you enjoy the challenges and opportunities it presents? However you view winter, it is always better if you are stronger and more fit. Only in winter do you find yourself moving heavy piles of frozen water from one spot to another or strapping large contraptions onto your feet to make it easier to move. Both of these situations are better if your muscles, including your heart, are in better shape.
Pearl Harbor At 75 On the eve of the 75th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, join Active Minds to explore the story from both the Japanese and the U.S. perspective. Remembered as “The Day that Lives in Infamy,” Dec. 7, 1941 brought an attack upon the United States the likes of which had never been seen before. The forum will cover how the Japanese planned and executed such a bold attack, how the U.S. could have been caught so completely unaware, and also the impact this had on World War II and the American psyche. The program is Tuesday, Dec. 6, from 10-11 a.m. at the Jewish Community Center, 350 S. Dahlia St. It is free and no RSVP is required. For info, call Lil Shaw: 303-316-6359
Brexit: What Does the Future Hold? In June, British voters elected to exit the European Union, sending global stock markets sharply down and provoking global reactions running the gamut from horror to congratulations. Join Active Minds to explore this pivotal event in its historic context and explore where this high stakes path may lead, not only for the UK, but also the EU and the rest of the world. This program is Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Sam Gary Library, 2961 Roslyn St. It is free and no RSVP is required.

People will insist on giving me books.” 2. “Always winter but never Christmas.” 3. “God bless us, everyone.” 4. “But instead I am applying for a job as an elf. Even worse than applying is the very real possibility that I will not be hired, that I couldn’t even find work as an elf. That’s when you know you’re a failure.” 5. “What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas … perhaps … means a little bit more!” 6. “Dear Aunt Loretta, Thank you so much for the awesome pants! How did you know I wanted that for Christmas? I love the way the pants look on my legs! All my friends will be so jealous that I have my very own pants. Thank you for making this the best Christmas ever! Sincerely, Greg”
