Aurora court and jail officials say a new program may help solve the revolving door puzzle for repeat offenders

The Sentinel Editorial Board says bringing a failed ban on homeless camping hasn’t made the proposal any better

After a 6 month hiatus, how to legislate Aurora’s growing homeless residents crisis is back at city council

Nothing says intolerance these days like Americans do. Colorado is no exception.

In the land of “we the people” vs “no, we the people,” hating on each other is the only bi-partisan pastime we appear to have left.

There was no avoiding the hate this week after Sentinel Colorado reporter Max Levy lobbed a story into the metaverse about Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s promise-threat to resurrect his proposal to ban homeless people from camping on public property.

Like almost everything these days, readers lined up on two sides of the proposition.

Coffman’s idea is to send the cops after a bunch of cold, scavenging, lost, often addicted or mentally ill people. They’re unlike many of us who don’t worry about traffic jams to the ski areas or the ridiculous price of Louis Vuitton’s Neverfull MM Monogram bag. I’d tell you what they cost, but if you have to ask...

As if he were waiting for the story, a Sentinel reader of the homeless camping ban story jumped in with,”Thank you, Mayor. Keep the drug addicts out of our city. The Mayor and I know that a majority of the homeless on the streets are heroin or meth addicts. The Mayor knows because he investigated the situation and I know because I’ve investigated, likewise, in my own manner. Non-addicts find a way to shelters and off the streets, heroin addicts do just the opposite, unless it’s freezing cold.”

I won’t jump back into Coffman’s ill-fated attempt to masquerade as a homeless person a year ago, nor what this dear reader’s investigation entailed.

I will, however, insert here that every credible expert, and even a brief conversation with people who are homeless, make it unequivocal that their plight, and that of thousands of people like them in the region, is complicated.

The newsroom phone and email boxes are filled with comments like Coffman’s ally. They all have one thing in common for sure. These critics of doing anything but chasing homeless people away rarely call them “people.”

Most insist that those suffering in tents sagging under the snow brought their misery onto themselves. They didn’t work hard enough, or at all.

They spent their rent money on beer or birthday and Christmas presents for their kids they couldn’t afford, both the kids and the presents.

They started smoking meth or heroin, knowing damn well how dangerous it is, and now they’re suffering the consequences of their predictable addiction.

In short, “they” got what “they” had coming to them.

It’s sad, the most sympathetic of these critics say, but it’s “their” problem. “They” need to keep it to themselves and not inflict their bad luck, bad habits or bad choices on the rest of “us,” who keep sucking it up like we’re supposed to.

For sure, there are other people, probably not the majority, who look past the mistakes that some homeless people made. Some better understand the complicated fate bestowed or imposed on many of these tented denizens and remember that despite their crisis, “they” are people.

Like or hate them, shun or sympathize with them, they are just like all of us, but they’re hurting in unimag-

inable ways.

Unimpressed, others say, rules are rules. Don’t make your personal problem a community one.

It’s so seriously unfunny, however, that these same people, in the middle of the pandemic, demand the very same sympathy that they deny homeless people.

They demand the right to choose behavior far more dangerous to themselves and all of us than hanging in a tent along Parker Road.

These are people who refuse to vaccinate against the coronavirus and then go even further, refusing to wear masks or stay out of public places, inflicting their woe on everyone. Too often, it’s with deadly consequences.

Like the budding drug addict or drunk who believes they can quit any time they want, the budding anti-vaxxer believes it can’t or won’t happen to them, even knowing full well it can. These days it almost certainly will.

The worldwide and inarguable message to vaccinate or face the consequences has been overwhelming and ubiquitous.

But these vaccine-denying people take their poor and dangerous choices to the grocery store, to the cinema, the gym or the neighborhood bar.

They try, but cannot deny the fact that in ICUs and hospital wards across the state, about 75% of the people gravely ill, gasping for air and overwhelming our hospital system are the once-mighty anti-vaxxers, who impose their poor and dangerous choices on the rest of us.

Sound familiar? So does the response from those who toe the line on getting their vaccines and wearing masks in public.

I can’t remember the last time I sat through a press conference with state or local health officials where the topic of what to do about “them” doesn’t come up. “Them” are the anti-vaxxers stoking the pandemic and pushing our health care and hospital systems to the brink of collapse.

The constant cry from those who follow the rules, who took the poke in the arm, who wear their masks and avoid situations that almost certainly will bring on a case of the ‘rona, is, “why do we tolerate anti-vaxxers?”

At least once a day, someone asks whether hospital beds and most medical services shouldn’t be reserved for those who have been vaccinated. Why give lifesaving medicines to people who won’t vaccinate while those who helped protect themselves and the herd get sick anyway and languish for therapeutics now in short supply?

Many people who find it easy to understand the complexity and anguish of homeless people have no tolerance for those who, for whatever reason, make their personal problem everyone’s problem.

Too often, we forget that no matter how aggravating and outright dangerous people are everywhere, they’re people.

It doesn’t mean they should be exempt from the rules we want and need, which living in a community requires. Keeping people who won’t vaccinate from joining the herd in public places makes just as much sense as keeping people without homes from taking over public squares letting their drug and alcohol addictions wash over everyone.

Doing the right thing, however, starts with acknowledging that we’re talking about troubled people, not just troubles.

QUID HAS HEARD there isn’t a weirder show in town than the race to the right to fight against Democratic Sen. Michael “Yawn” Bennet for his chair in the Senate. The GOP trip around their imaginary world set sail this week during a primary debate at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood. Newsies reported that the handful of candidates trying to impress the most Republican voters of Republican voters (cough-Trumpers-cough) had nothing but good things to say about hiring cops to do everything from enforcing immigration laws to enforcing everything. Rumored favorite before this week is State Rep. Ron Hanks from the part of Colorado that would rather be Wyoming. Already famous for his part in the Jan. 6 exercise of extreme displeasure with the presidential election, and blowing up copy machines, Hanks set himself apart from the elephant pack by pitching a country that requires extra paperwork to vote but none to get a gun. Hanks is so paranoid about voter fraud he even balked about his own GOP straw poll that has only Republicans hand counting the votes.

Aurora’s resurrected homeless camping ban still fatally flawed

No one wants homeless people camping under Aurora bridges, in parks, on highway exit ramps or in town squares and medians.

No one.

But shuffling people without homes — often drowning in addiction, mental illness or catastrophic despair — from one campsite to another, over and over, does not end homeless encampments nor get homeless people off the streets.

It only makes their grim lives and the crisis of homelessness in Aurora and the region worse.

You don’t have to look far to see how homeless bans have repeatedly failed. Look anywhere in the metro area that’s tried it. Denver has a failed defective ban. Boulder, rife with people who are homeless and living behind businesses, in parks and even among tony shopping centers, are testaments to the uselessness of “banning” people from living on the streets because they have no place else to go.

Not only does shooing homeless people from one campsite to another just complicate their lives, it eats up already overtaxed police forces, courts and jails. Officials from all of those agencies have repeatedly made clear that people camping on highway medians and along creek banks is a serious community crisis, not a criminal issue.

Despite all this, Mayor Mike Coffman wants to bring back his failed homeless camping ban. City council narrowly defeated the measure about six months ago.

Coffman last week said in a tweet that he’s resurrecting the measure, even though it’s nothing more than a populist chimera.

Under Coffman’s plan, the measure would outlaw unauthorized camping by homeless people. Once identified, police would be dispatched to the encampment. Cops would then cite people there, a time-consuming and complicated feat. The lack of identification among homeless people is a notorious and complicated tragedy. Instead, police would spend a great deal of time documenting campers and their plight.

After that, homeless campers are given seven days to leave their campsite.

On the seventh day, police return and either fine the campers or arrest them, something police and local jail officials have strongly pushed back on.

And where do homeless campers go when they’re chased off? Another campsite.

These people are not criminals. They stole from no one. They injured no one. They threatened no one. They are desperately troubled, often mentally ill and absent the money or support to find their way back to even flailing poverty.

People naive to the realities of drug and alcohol addiction dismiss it, equating meth and heroin addictions to bad manners or a lack of self-discipline.

Coffman’s assurances that homeless camping will not be criminalized is actually just double-talk.

The proposed law clearly states that scofflaws face fines and jail. Coffman merely asserts that, faced with jail or summons, every homeless person will just move on to yet another park, bike trail or alley, rather than be shuffled into incarceration.

Aurora police and officials from both Adams and Arapahoe counties will tell you that’s not true, and that local jails are not equipped nor designed to be rehab centers for addicts, mental health hospitals nor social services centers to get the downtrodden back on track.

Coffman is correct, however, in saying that the bulk of these homeless people will just move on — right down the street or across town and start the endless circle of public homelessness and harassment all over again.

The biggest ruse is debate over what this measure would or wouldn’t do.

It would do nothing.

That’s because the measure can’t take effect until there are adequate shelter resources for every homeless person threatened with citation or jail.

It’s unclear exactly how many hundreds of visibly homeless

Dog walkers know the rules of the road

“How cute. What’s his name?” I get that several times a day while walking our female Shih Tzu, Abigail. So it is in dog walking protocol: Everyone wants to know Abbie’s name, but no one ever asks mine.

Though fewer people are sheltered at home these days, dog walking doesn’t seem to be waning in my Central California neighborhood — if anything, it’s increasing. There’s the Poodle who is always wearing a heavy coat, even on the warmest days. The German Shepherd, held tightly on a very short leash by a guy who marches militaristically up the street as Abbie and I scurry out of the way. The elderly Schnauzer who can no longer walk, but gets pushed every afternoon in a baby stroller.

When we encounter a person without a dog who wants to pet Abbie, the polite ruse goes like this. Abbie jumps up, tail wagging furiously, and licks their hand. I know this will happen because she does it unfailingly with everyone we meet. “Oh, wow, she really loves you!” I exclaim. And the stranger walks off feeling special.

Some dogs we encounter are aggressive. Every evening we see a large, white mixed breed who growls and strains on his leash. The guy struggling to hold him back always seems mildly embarrassed, shouting “No!” as if he’s never witnessed this behavior before.

Abbie doesn’t enjoy wet weather anymore than I

do, so she dutifully wears a red raincoat that my wife Amy made. It looks nice, but somehow by the time we get home Abbie is always soaking.

On daily walks I carry the plastic bag that my newspaper was delivered in. I’m fastidious about cleaning up, as I believe most dog walkers are. But a few folks seem callously irresponsible which is annoying, because as Larry David explained in a recent episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” when the mess gets in the tread on running shoes, it’s really tough to clean.

That said, I’m apparently wrong to toss the bag in the nearest residential trash bin. None other than Dear Abby, Jeanne Phillips, wrote last month: “Readers, encourage dog walkers to take a larger bag with them or wear a fanny pack with multiple compartments to transport their pets’ ‘souvenirs’ back to their own home.”

I had no idea there could be a market for fannypoop-packs, although I doubt Larry David would ever wear one.

I recently read on The Hustle website about a guy in New York City named Ryan Stewart who claims to be earning over $100k per year walking dogs. Sounds like a terrific job. But I don’t see how Abbie could possibly afford to pay me.

Your Enthusiasm’ gets real, for real

Seventy years ago, in response to a fantastical-but-true event on the ball field, sportswriter Red Smith wrote: “The art of fiction is dead. Reality has strangled invention.”

Indeed there are times, as we all know, when life imitates art imitates life. But this week nothing can top the twisty absurdism of the true tale that bonds Larry David with his ex-TV wife and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It’s a tale I find worth telling, if only because I yearn not to write today about the usual downers, like encroaching fascism and Russian troop movements.

Nevertheless, if you do want some downer material, stay tuned. Because I can offer you Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

For those of you who haven’t seen the 11 seasons of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” here’s the gist: Seinfeld creator Larry David, playing a curmudgeonly character named Larry David, is relentlessly punished, in big and small ways, for his various meddlings, inactions, and passive aggressive actions. The Jerusalem Post newspaper approvingly points out, “Curb Your Enthusiasm has always been a Jewy show,” operating on the Yiddish principle middah k’neged middah – which roughly translates to “what goes around comes around.” As our star would say, he gets “prit-tayy…prit-ayy” pissed.

Jewish themes and tropes predominate, moreso than ever. Larry, as “Larry,” detests Trumpists and anti-Semites, and he’s obsessed with the Holocaust. This past season, when a Klansman comes to his house, ticked off that Larry’s friend Susie had sewn a Star of David on his Klan robe, Larry alerts the neighborhood by blowing the Rosh Hashanah shofar from his balcony. That’s all consistent with some of the stuff he produced on “Seinfeld,” like the episode when Jerry and George got stuck in a limo with two Nazis who said the Holocaust was a hoax.

Anyway, in our real-life Curb episode, real Larry and the real actress Cheryl Hines, who was pretend-married to “Larry” on the show until they pretend-divorced, were both guests at a real wedding in 2012. At that wedding, Larry introduced Cheryl to another guest, RFK Jr. (one of the slain RFK’s 11 children). The two hit off. Cheryl nicknamed him “my Cutie Booby Bobby.” They got hitched in 2014.

Fast forward to last Sunday, when people who refuse to get vaccinated – people dedicated to the further spread of the virus and its variants – gathered for a rally in Washington. RFK Jr. was a prominent speaker. Suffice it to say, statistically speaking, that in a family of 11 children, there was bound to be at least one nutcase. Precisely the kind that makes Larry’s head spin.

This particular Kennedy is part of the crowd that somehow equates vaccine mandates (that are designed to save people’s lives) with Nazis (whose Holocaust snuffed six million lives).

On Sunday, Kennedy posited the notion that in today’s America, we’re all worse off than Anne Frank. The vaxxers, he said, are using satellites and 5G mobile networks to create a massive surveillance network that will ferret out anyone refusing to get vaxxed. In his words, “None of us can run and none of us can hide…Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could hide in the attic like Anne Frank did.”

Well. I suspect that Anne Frank’s family could’ve enlighten Kennedy about a few things, had they not all died in Nazi camps. As the Auschwitz Memorial tweeted yesterday, exploiting the deaths of people who perished in the Nazi epidemic “is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decay.”

One can only imagine what’ll happen with Larry and Cheryl meet on the set for season 12:

“Hi Larry, I hope you’re not mad at me because of Cutie Booby.” “Eh.”

“Because, remember, you’re the one who introduced us.” “Eh.”

“Fine. What’s our first scene?”

“Forget it, Eva Braun. You are prit-tayy…prit-tayy…fired.” Dick Polman, a veteran national political columnist based in Philadelphia and a Writer in Residence at the University of Pennsylvania, writes at DickPolman.net.

people live in Aurora streets, parks, medians and parking lots. But what is certain is that even after recent modest efforts to increase shelter and sanctioned tent resources, there are far too few to meet the need. And the need is growing.

Rather than perpetuate this theater, Coffman and everyone on the Aurora City Council should work toward a regional effort to vastly increase the number of safe, clean individual and group shelters and resources needed to accommodate

Black caucus ignores wage gap answers

The Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday came and went, as it always does, without a peep from the Congressional Black Caucus about how the influential U.S. representatives could most help African-Americans.

If the powerful caucus, 58 members strong, would demand an immigration pause, Black Americans could close the earnings gap between them and other ethnic groups, mostly whites, that has plagued them for at least seven decades.

Economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis found that: “No progress has been made in reducing income and wealth inequalities between Black and white households over the past 70 years.” Similar research from the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finances showed that the median net worth of Black households in 2016 was $17,150, while the same statistic at the same time period for white families was $171,000, nearly ten times as high.

More employment-authorized immigration weakens labor markets and puts downward pressure on wages –the supply and demand law at its most basic. Unchecked immigration also gives cheap, labor-addicted corporations license to under-pay immigrants who need jobs but have limited skills.

In a ChicagoTribuneOp-Ed published on Jan. 10, Frank Morris noted that when the Congressional Black Caucus votes in unison to expand immigration and to authorize more guest worker employment-based visas, they’re rejecting the counsel of earlier Black heroes.

Morris, drawing in part from Roy Beck’s recently published book, “Back of the Hiring Line,” wrote that during the decades following the Civil War, Black leaders – including social reformer Frederick Douglass, civil rights champion W.E.B. Du Bois, activist Marcus Garvey, and labor unionist A. Philip Randolph who, in 1925, organized and led the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first successful African-American led labor union – all favored restricting immigration to help free enslaved people and their descendants. As Du Bois said, in words that ring as

true today as they did then, stopping the importation of cheap labor “on any terms has been the economic salvation of American Black labor.”

Not only have Blacks in Congress, as well as state and local governments’ Black elected officials, turned a deaf ear to historically prominent figures like Douglass, Du Bois, Garvey and Randolph, but they’ve also ignored Coretta Scott King, Martin’s widow who is often referred to as “The First Lady of the Civil Rights Movement.” In 1991, after the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act passed with employer sanctions that penalized hiring illegal immigrants, the Senate began drafting provisions that would weaken those sanctions, and dilute interior enforcement. King and other Black community leaders wrote to thenU.S. Sen. Orin Hatch (R- Utah) to urge that he postpone the introduction of his employer sanctions repeal legislation.

The group wanted an opportunity to prove to the Senate that a repeal would have a devastating effect on the economic livelihood of low-skilled workers, a disproportionate percentage of whom were African-American and Hispanic. King’s efforts to persuade Hatch were unsuccessful. For more than 30 years, illegal immigrant labor has, just as King feared, severely affected Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities, and has denied them an opportunity to move up and into the middle class.

The Congressional Black Caucus has abandoned its constituency, choosing to support foreign nationals. The caucus accepts without criticism the current illegal alien border surge which will eventually loosen the labor market when the aliens are paroled with work permits.

The caucus votes as a block in favor of immigration-expansion legislation including amnesty for millions, and it promotes paths to citizenship for deferred action and temporary protected status holders. American Blacks are excluded from its progressive agenda which guarantees that, for years to come, the wage gap between African-Americans and whites will remain unchanged.

people who cannot pay for housing because even working full time, it’s just not feasible. The shelters have to accommodate people with drug addictions, which are not cured in a police car or jail cell.

And for those who insist that drug addicts and alcoholics are only their own problem, and not Aurora’s, constantly moving them will eventually make their addiction and homeless your problem, too.

A regional solution must face the fact that unregulated public encampments are dangerous for the residents and

the rest of the public alike. We agree with Coffman and others, it must end.

But the answer first must do something, and it must treat the issue with the pragmatism and humanity it calls for.

Shooing homeless people from one park or sidewalk to another, and eventually into jail, is far more costly in tax dollars and human misery than creating shelters and programs to end homelessness and treat addiction now.

Camping Ban Revival

MAYOR MIKE COFFMAN’S URBAN CAMPING BAN PROPOSAL IS BACK FOR CONSIDERATION WITH A MORE AGREEABLE COUNCIL

As he promised to do nearly six months ago, Mayor Mike Coffman is resurrecting a proposal to ban people without homes from camping in Aurora. He made the announcement via a social media post on Jan. 21.

The change to city rules would be considered by Aurora’s City Council at its Feb. 7 study session and may be formally considered on Feb. 14. Under Coffman’s proposal, individuals would be given seven days’ notice to abandon their campsite, so long as the city can “provide an alternate location for those in an encampment to go to before it can be abated.”

Under the previous version of the ban, which failed on a tie vote in August, the “alternate location” would have to be a sanctioned shelter site. Coffman has promoted the ban as a public safety measure and a “humane” way of addressing the growing problem of homelessness. Opponents argue it would criminalize the city’s homeless while doing little to get them into shelter.

Mayor Mike Coffman has brought back to life his proposal to ban urban camping in Aurora. The proposal would give those camping within the city limits seven days to relocate, on the condition there is an alternate location, provided by the city, available to relocate.

Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson was also critical of the measure in using police resources to manage what she said has become a pervasive societal problem, not a criminal one.

“As the chief of police, I have been very clear that I do not want to be a part of enforcing this ban,” Wilson said during a hearing about the failed bill in August. “ … Right now we’re doing this because we don’t have any other options, but I think as a city we can do better.”

At the time, Coffman said he was “shocked” at Wilson’s response.

Other critics questioned whether any sweeps

would be possible, because there are too many homeless campers and too few shelter spaces to invoke enforcement as the proposal was written.

In 2020, the last time a survey of Aurora’s sheltered and unsheltered homeless population was undertaken on behalf of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 427 people were reported to be sleeping either on the streets, in emergency shelters or in transitional housing. Service providers generally agree that HUD point-in-time surveys are an undercount.

Lana Dalton of Aurora’s Department of Housing and Community Services said during a lecture at the Aurora History Museum Jan. 19 that only 130-150 shelter beds are available on any given night.

City spokesman Michael Brannen later said that number is augmented by additional resources in the event of severe weather or if a person is a victim of domestic violence. The Aurora Day Resource Center can hold up to 75 mats during a weather emergency. The city may also use hotels and motels if the resource center is over capacity.

Hotel and motel vouchers may also be issued in domestic violence situations, and Brannen also mentioned the Pallet shelter associated with the Salvation Army, which assists 30-60 people, and the 25 tents available at Restoration Christian Ministries.

Dalton told council members on Monday that the tents are inefficient to heat, costing the city around $1,500 per week, and that they are not considered sustainable as a shelter resource.

She also told the group that the city is looking at purchasing an additional 30-36 new Pallet shelters with federal grant funds.

The city doesn’t plan on closing the shelters when the weather warms because of the demand for shelter space, Dalton said.

A safe parking lot which opened last year in the city can also accommodate 20 vehicles.

While Coffman wrote on Friday that there will be “no fines or penalties for those in an unauthorized encampment,” campers could be arrested or fined if they don’t move.

Coffman said there have been no reported cases of campers failing to move after being ordered to do so, which Tim Joyce, an assistant city attorney, told the council in August.

A representative of Aurora’s Police Department said Friday that they would need time to confirm whether that information was still current.

Since council members deadlocked on the last proposed ban, city rules required Coffman to wait six months before bringing his idea back to the dais. The amended version of the ban would give campers more notice than the original — a week rather than 72 hours.

The February hearings on Coffman’s proposal would also mark the first time the idea has come before Aurora’s new, conservative-leaning City Council.

The group split along party lines after the departure of Councilmember Nicole Johnston last summer, reflected in the 5-5 vote that stymied Coffman’s original proposal.

Conservatives, led by Coffman, secured a majority of council seats in November. While campaigning, most of the candidates indicated support for Coffman’s proposed camping ban.

Union announces end to strike

A union representing workers at Denver and Aurora King Soopers stores announced Monday night that local members had voted to ratify a new contract with the grocery chain, marking the end of their recent strike.

“This would not have been possible without the support of our allies throughout Colorado and across the country,” said Kim Cordova, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local No. 7, in a press release. “To those who stood alongside our members, honored the picket line and showed up in solidarity, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

More than 8,000 workers at 78 King Soopers stores in the Denver metropolitan area went on strike starting Jan. 12 to protest what they called unfair labor practices on the part of King Soopers and parent company Kroger.

The company leveled the same accusation against the union and at one point requested a temporary restraining order to limit picket lines in front of stores.

Workers also said the company had not included living wages and other benefits in their counterproposals while negotiating a contract.

The strike lasted nine days, until last Friday, when a tentative agreement was reached allowing union members to return to work.

On Monday, the local grocery store workers voted on a new threeyear contract that Cordova said included “the most significant wage increase ever secured by a UFCW local for grocery workers,” upward of $5 an hour for some employees.

The release said the new contract also features improved health care and pension benefits, more stringent workplace safety measures and new paths to full-time employment.

“From the beginning of this process, we promised our members that we would procure the very best contract we could,” Cordova said.

“We are excited that our members voted overwhelmingly to ratify this industry-leading contract that will ensure King Soopers will respect and protect essential workers as well as pay them fairly.”

The release noted that voting will continue in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Grand Junction and northern Colorado over the next week. It did not specify what percentage of the local’s membership had voted already, or what percentage voted in favor.

King Soopers and City Market president Joe Kelley said in a separate release that the company was “thrilled” workers in the Denver metro bargaining unit had voted to ratify the deal.

“Our goal since day one has been to put more money in our associates’ paychecks, and we are thrilled that our associates in the Denver metro bargaining area have voted yes on this offer,” he said.

Lawmakers soliciting ‘red tape’ suggestions

If you’re an Aurora businessperson frustrated with local licensing, regulations, taxes, fees and other conditions for doing business set by the city, members of Aurora’s City Council want to hear from you.

On Thursday, a newly-minted “red tape reduction” committee called for at least three hearings to be held in the coming months, where business owners, developers and others will be invited to share what they think could be done to make the city easier to work with.

“I think being able to capitalize on and hear from as many voices as possible is the ultimate goal,” said Councilmember and committee chair Dustin Zvonek, who spear-

headed the group’s creation. “I’m hopeful they’ll give some examples of things here they deal with that they don’t elsewhere. … But also we want to be able to explain things if there’s a clear reason.”

The three hearings which the committee talked about convening in February, March and April would be held at different times of day and give community members the chance to talk specifically about city rules and regulations, taxes and fees, and other city processes.

Zvonek and fellow council members Francoise Bergan, Curtis Gardner, Danielle Jurinsky and Juan Marcano were appointed to the committee in December.

The committee members on Thursday proposed attendees be given five minutes each to speak, and that hearings could last around an hour and 40 minutes, with the option to convene more than three hearings if many people show interest.

Kim Stuart, director of communications for the city, told the committee the city would also open up its Engage Aurora platform to invite comments online.

Council members mentioned some of the frustrations that they had heard from entities that work regularly with the city. Marcano said he’d heard the city’s RFP process is “cumbersome” and also that he wanted to make sure public-facing departments were adequately staffed.

“I want to make sure we’re cognizant of that, because it does impact our development community, obviously,” he said.

Jurisnky, a real estate agent and restaurant and bar owner, also said one of her “biggest complaints with the City of Aurora is there’s no communication when there’s an ordinance changed and things like that.”

She and Zvonek suggested the city use the contact information submitted by businesses that have

obtained licenses from the city to perform outreach ahead of the hearings.

Other committee members encouraged the city to get the word out through local chambers of commerce, the Aurora Economic Development Council and the Aurora-South Metro Small Business Development Center.

Once the committee finishes gathering public input, it will return with policy recommendations to the council as a whole, though a firm deadline for that has not been set.

The committee is currently scheduled to meet on the third Thursday of each month and will meet next on Feb. 17 at noon.

RTD seeks input

The Regional Transportation District has a plan to grow and change its Denver-area transit routes over the next five years and is asking for public feedback by Feb. 9.

According to a news release from the City of Aurora, The System Optimization Plan that RTD hopes to have adopted by March was developed to mitigate the loss of riders — a problem which worsened during the pandemic, as remote work became the norm and the number of commuters across the metro area dwindled.

The plan is also meant to improve service, ensure financial stability and address changing patterns of demand.

Members of the public can look up how local routes would change under the district’s proposals and submit comments by using the online mapping tool at fhueng.mysocialpinpoint.com/reimagine-rtd.

The district is also taking comments at communityengagement@ rtd-denver.com and 303-489-7792.

More information about the twoyear Reimagine RTD process that birthed the plan is available at www. rtd-denver.com/reimagine.

EDUCATION

APS partnership offers free mental health care

Starting this semester, Aurora Public Schools is partnering with telehealth company Hazel Health to provide students with free mental health services.

The partnership is designed to help fill the gap in resources as students’ mental health needs have increased and healthcare providers have become increasingly strained during the pandemic, district officials say.

Hazel Health employs healthcare providers across the country to provide telehealth visits to K-12 students for physical and mental health care. In Colorado, the company also works with Denver Public Schools and a Colorado Springs school district.

APS students in all grades are eligible for one intake session and six virtual therapy sessions through Hazel. Students can meet with providers during the school day or at home between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Hazel offers services in multiple languages and has translation services.

For some students, those six sessions may be all they need. For others, they can provide a bridge while they wait for more intensive treatment at a local facility, said Jessica O’Muireadhaigh, the district’s director of mental health and counseling.

“This ensures that they’re getting services while waiting for a spot to open up on a caseload,” she said.

The district used money from a 2018 mill levy to hire over 100 mental health professionals, which put it in a better position than some other districts when the pandemic hit. Currently, the district employs 87 school counselors, 56 school psychologists, 109 social workers and 25 special service providers. Along with Hazel, all students also have access to a school-based therapist from either HealthONE or the Aurora Mental Health Center during the school day.

However, staffing shortages in education and healthcare are still presenting challenges.

“What we are finding is when we have open positions or when somebody leaves to take a position elsewhere, it’s really hard to refill that position,” O’Muireadhaigh said. “The demand doesn’t meet the supply of mental health care providers.” ›› See METRO, 9

Some of Hazel’s providers live out of state but are licensed to practice in Colorado, increasing the pool of providers.

APS plans to work with Hazel on an ongoing basis. For this year and the next year it will be paid for through the federal money the district received for pandemic relief aid.

2 teachers fired for violating vaccine mandate

Aurora Public Schools is taking steps to fire two teachers for not complying with the district’s vaccine mandate.

In May, the district announced that it would require all employees to get the COVID-19 vaccine or receive a valid exemption once at least one of the vaccines had received full approval from the Food and Drug Administration.

In August, the FDA formally approved the Pfizer vaccine, and the district gave employees until Oct. 7 to provide proof of vaccination. Employees were permitted to request an exemption for disability, religious reasons or medical reasons. Employees whose requests were approved met with district staff to come up with accommodations, such as social distancing or regular COVID-19 testing.

By the deadline, 88.8% of the district’s 5,000-plus employees were vaccinated and 3.2% had received an approved exemption. The majority of the remainder were temporary employees, according to the district.

Staff who had not met the vaccination or exemption requirement were given until Nov. 22 to catch up, district spokesperson Corey Christiansen previously told The Sentinel. If they failed to meet that deadline, the district would begin the process of terminating their employment.

At the district’s board of education meeting Tuesday night, the board heard two recommendations from the district to dismiss teachers “due to insubordination, neglect of duty and just cause.”

According to meeting documents, the cause was that the employees were not vaccinated and did not have a valid exemption.

“One of the individuals recommended for dismissal did request an exemption, citing a violation of privacy rights under the The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA),” meeting documents said. “However, multiple federal agencies have established and issued guidance that employers requesting the COVID-19 vaccination status of their employees is not a violation of HIPAA Privacy Rule.”

This was a preliminary step in the process, and the board did not take any other action at the meeting except for acknowledging the recommendations.

The employees in question are a Spanish teacher at Hinkley High School and a math teacher at Vista

PEAK

Preparatory.

At press time, inquiries from The Sentinel sent to the employee’s district email accounts had not received responses, as well as a request for comment from the district’s teacher union.

Children’s Hospital hires mental health chief

Children’s Hospital Colorado has appointed Dr. K. Ron-Li Liaw to serve as ‘mental health-in-chief,’ a new position created in response to what the hospital has dubbed a “state of emergency” for pediatric mental health.

Children’s Hospital rang the alarm on the state of youth mental health in Colorado last spring, saying the number of young people needing care was unprecedented and that there were not enough hospital beds or other resources to meet demand.

Since then, the hospital has continued to lobby the state and local government to dedicate funding towards the issue.

In her new role, Liaw, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, will oversee the implementation of the hospital’s pediatric mental health strategy. She is currently a fellow at the Aspen Institute and director of the child and adolescent psychiatry division at CU Anschutz.

“Dr. Liaw’s position as mental health-in-chief is on the same level as our pediatrician-in-chief or surgeon-in-chief, and this leadership role ensures that pediatric mental health is top of mind for every major decision we make as a children’s hospital,” hospital CEO Jena Hausmann said in a news release statement.

The demand for acute behavioral health services increased by 90% in 2021 compared to 2019, according to the hospital. For many weeks during 2021, the top reason for presenting to the emergency department was due to a suicide attempt.

“We’re clearly seeing at Children’s Hospital Colorado the disastrous downstream impacts of an already-broken pediatric mental health system that’s been further strained by the COVID-19 pandemic,” Hausmann said. “We will continue to do all we can to provide high-quality mental health services to those children in need while also continuing to advocate with our community partners for systemic change at every level – local, state and federal – to help solve the youth mental health crisis.”

Citizen Boards and Committees

Alondra Michel, 37, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree arson and three counts of attempted first-degree murder, according to an Aurora Police Department news blog. The case will be prosecuted in the 18th Judicial District.

Michel was allegedly involved in a “domestic violence incident” on the main level of the apartment building “when she intentionally set the fire, which quickly spread to other units,” police reported. Police said the boy was found in a second-story apartment.

Police said other charges may be forthcoming.

The fire began at about 1:30 a.m. at the 15320 East Evans Ave. apartment, according to Aurora Fire and Rescue.

Firefighters said the flames engulfed multiple units, and that numerous people were rescued from inside their apartments. Medics examined nine people there. Three were taken to a nearby hospital.

“Nine people were injured and

three of those patients were transported to local hospitals,” fire department officials said in a statement later Monday. “Sadly, fire officials were notified later that a child who was transported to the hospital later died.”

Fire officials said people trying to escape couldn’t get down the stairs of the building during the fire, and photos showed the outdoor staircases burned in the blaze. Firefighters using ladders rescued nine people from the building, said Lt. Dan Pollet, a spokesman for Aurora Fire Rescue.

“Despite the courageous and professional efforts of our members, our community has suffered a tragic loss and the entire Aurora Fire Rescue family is deeply saddened by this incident,” said Aurora Fire Rescue Chief Fernando Gray Sr.

“We are committed to providing any and all assistance to those impacted and displaced by this fire, and especially to those who are grieving today. A complete and thorough investigation will be conducted to determine the origin and cause of the fire.”

The boy’s identity and cause of death will be released by the Arapahoe County coroner office at a future date.

According to the Red Cross of Colorado and Wyoming, the fire directly damaged 12 apartments and left 12 others without utility service. It said it was providing lodging assistance and other services to 18 adults and eight children because of the fire.

Buyback event collects 75 guns

A gun buyback event held at an Aurora church over the weekend netted 75 firearms.

Mountain View United Church and Sixth Avenue United Church of Christ partnered with RAWtools to organize a gun buyback event,

$300 in return depending on the type of gun.

RAWtools is a Colorado Springsbased nonprofit that hosts buybacks and nonviolence training workshops. Part of its program includes turning gun parts into garden tools in homage to Bible verses about “beating swords into plowshares.”

Of the 75 guns turned in, 50 were semi-automatic, RAWtools director Mike Martin said in an email. The majority of the semi-automatics were handguns, six were assault-style weapons.

Across the country, buybacks can bring in anywhere from 25 to 150 weapons, Martin said. People brought 34 guns to a buyback in Boulder last year and 66 to a buyback in Longmont.

This was the first gun buyback event held in Aurora. RAWtools will be holding four more in Aurora and four in Denver this year as part of a program spurred by city council members in both cities, including Aurora council member Curtis Gardner, shortly after shootings outside two Aurora high schools left nine teens injured.

Gun violence has risen across the Denver metro area, prompting community wide discussions about different ways to address the issue. In Aurora, aggravated assaults — which is how non-fatal shootings are often defined in statistics  — were up about 20% in the first 10 months of the year when compared to the same time in 2020, police data show.

The full dates and locations of the upcoming buybacks will be announced in February. The first will take place at Mile High Stadium in Denver in partnership with the Broncos the weekend of March 19, Gardner said.

He acknowledged that at buybacks it won’t necessarily be “criminals” turning in guns. He added that it’s a good place for people to turn in guns from deceased family members that are no longer being used but remain in people’s homes or cars.

“Those guns in a lot of cases are stolen, sold and used in crime,” he said.

One thing that Gardner said he heard repeatedly after the November shootings was that young people who have stolen weapons often don’t know where to go if they want to get rid of them. The buybacks will give people an opportunity to return

TIMING IS EVERYTHING IN THE BAR AND RESTAURANT BUSINESS, EVEN WHEN IT’S BAD

BY BRIAN WILLIE AND KYLE COOKE, Rocky Mountain PBS

Back in 2010, Betsy Lay was serving in AmeriCorps in Denver along with her friends Jen Cuesta and Kate Power. It wasn’t long after the recession, and their work doing fundraising for nonprofits was difficult and slow-going.

Even though they were only making $10,000 a year, the trio would frequently go out after work to commiserate over a beer. The packed bars felt a world apart from their dismal fundraising efforts, and they started to wonder if there was a way “to take our beer money and funnel it into nonprofits,” Lay said.

After AmeriCorps, Power and Cuesta left Denver to go to law school but their idea stayed with them. Once they returned to Denver in 2014, they got to work creating Lady Justice, a brewery that donated all of its profits to nonprofits supporting women and girls.

Since its official launch in 2016, Lady Justice has donated $31,000 in profits to charity along with an estimated $15,000 in in-kind donations.

After operating on a subscription mod-

el for its first several years, Lady Justice moved into a taproom on Colfax Avenue in Aurora in 2020, at which point Lay took over full ownership of the business (Power and Cuesta work full-time as attorneys).

“I don’t think I ever would have told you that I was going to be a brewer or a business owner before we started Lady J,” Lay told the Sentinel. “There’s been a lot of stuff to learn.”

All three founders were home brewers before forming Lady Justice, but there was a steep learning curve in figuring out how to scale that up and how to run a business. Lady Justice is a philanthropic enterprise — not exactly a nonprofit but not a for-profit company either — and there aren’t a lot of companies that do what they do.

That means “sometimes it’s up to us to figure it out on our own,” Lay said.

Since the taproom opened, they’ve been getting more business and have been able to donate more money. The space on East Colfax in the Aurora Cultural Arts District was formerly home to Mu Brew-

ery and Peak to Peak Brewing, and it already had much of the equipment needed to get started.

“We felt at home there instantly,” Lay said. She said the arts district was a perfect fit for Lady Justice.

“Being in a space that really values diversity was really important for us,” she said. “Being in the arts district allows us to have a wider audience than we would if we moved to really any other part of the city.”

The timing, however, wasn’t ideal. Lay signed the lease on the building in March 2020, three days before indoor dining and drinking was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“It hasn’t been easy at all,” Lay, said last week. “Any business plan or any planning you were doing in January, February of 2020 immediately went out the window, so people have had to be creative and have had to persevere through a lot of stuff.”

Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the “Lady J” team has definitely made the most of their new space. Inside, floor-to-ceiling murals celebrate

iconic figures like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Marsha P. Johnson.

What the space doesn’t have — for now, at least — is barstools. The owners removed them as a way to encourage social distancing at the taproom. They’ve also closed off every other table so groups can space out. The brewery also has a mask requirement, regardless of vaccination status.

Lay estimates that the brewery, which donates 100% of its profits over costs of its annual beer membership to Colorado nonprofits benefiting women and girls, is operating at about 50% capacity.

The Lady Justice taproom is nestled on the 9700 block of East Colfax Avenue in Aurora, mere blocks from the Denver County line. When they moved there, that county boundary felt a bit more arbitrary than it does now, in a time when COVID-19 mitigation policies often vary county-to-county.

Lady Justice Brewing is technically in Adams County. On the other side of Colfax is Arapahoe County. Both of those counties are served by the Tri-County Health Department, but they — along with Douglas County — are formally separating from the agency.

The changes have been a lot to keep up with, especially for business owners. For the team at Lady Justice Brewing, the pandemic has felt like one pivot after another.

“I think in January and February of 2021, pivoting looked more like waiting for more government mandates, seeing what leaders in our community we’re going to tell us to do, and just sort of bracing for whatever was going to come,” Lay said.

But what about now, in 2022?

“It feels like less of a pivot and more of treading water and just trying to be as creative as possible; trying to stay as steady as possible,” Lay explained.

The Omicron variant of COVID-19 has made staying steady a more difficult challenge. Colorado has set records in COVID-19 cases this month, and hospitalizations are rising as well. Meanwhile, guidance from the federal government about things like testing and isolation periods has led to confusion and condemnation from public health officials.

Locally, Tri-County Health currently has two mask orders in place: one that applies to public indoor spaces and another concerning schools.

Lady Justice donations last year included Rangeview High School for scholarships for girls and to Frontline Farming, a nonprofit that provides sustainably grown affordable food to people in the Denver area.

During the pandemic, the business is trying to support hyperlocal nonprofits that have been

affected by COVID but might not be getting as much attention as larger organizations, Lay said.

“It’s not hard to find a brewery that gives back to its community, but we’re one of the only ones that exist solely to do that,” Lay said. “To be able to help your community simply by going in and buying a beer from us is a really easy thing to do that people enjoy a lot.”

Last year, Lady Justice has also facilitated local conversations about how to confront sexism in the brewing industry, which became a national topic this year after women came forward on social media to share their experienc-

Read it your way

es facing misogynistic treatment from customers and co-workers alike.

As a women and LGBTQowned company that had always made striving for inclusion part of its mission, Lay said it felt like a natural part of Lady Justice’s work to get involved. The taproom hosted a meeting earlier this year to address racism and sexism in the local beer industry, and a leadership team is currently working on action items including improving HR functions and mental health resources for employees.

Lay said it can be frustrating for Lady Justice’s team to deal

with people who think that women can’t run a business or brew beer, but it’s balanced by the number of people who are excited by their mission.

“The most rewarding thing is having people tell us they drove three hours to come to our brewery just to try our beer and see what it was about,” Lay said. “It’s been really fun to see the community we’ve been able to build out of this little taproom.”

Taste of Spain

CHURRERIA DE MADRID BRINGS MEMORIES AND SPANISH CUISINE IN STANLEY MARKETPLACE

Atiny piece of Europe has arrived in Aurora in the form of Churreria de Madrid, a new Spanish-style churro restaurant at Stanley Marketplace.

from something you might get down south or at another local restaurant is the dipping sauce they’re served with, akin to hot chocolate but richer.

BY CARINA JULIG, Staff Writer

The restaurant opened in December and is an offshoot of Maria Empanada, a local empanada joint that also has a booth in Stanley just across the corner. The new churro shop is helmed by chef Jose Manuel Marquez, a native of Spain who was the kitchen manager at Maria Empanada for five years.

For years after coming to the U.S., Marquez dreamed about opening up a Spanish-style churro restaurant. He eventually brought up the idea to Lorena Cantarovici, the owner of Maria Empanada, and her husband Daniel. The couple thought it was a great idea, and teamed up with Marquez to launch Churreria de Madrid.

“We told the people at Stanley years ago that if a place ever opens up, we’ve got a concept,” Daniel Cantarovici told the Sentinel. “Business is so good here that nobody ever leaves.”

But as luck would have it, the donut shop that previously occupied the stall ended up leaving, and they jumped at the chance to launch the restaurant.

Aurora has no shortage of Mexican and Latin American restaurants thanks to the city’s diverse heritage. What sets the Churreria’s churros apart

The restaurant also serves stuffed churros, with fillings such as dulce de leche, cream and a rotating special flavor. For the savory-minded it has patatas bravas, a Spanish dish of fried potatoes with a choice of sauces, including spicy mayo and chipotle aioli. A variety of Spanish soft drinks, horchata and candy is available for purchase as well.

Cantarovici said that the team is trying to encourage more people to come for breakfast. In the United States churros and chocolate is considered a dessert, but it’s a popular breakfast in Spain.

“They call it the Madrid breakfast,” he said.

Marquez said the dish reminds him of his childhood in Spain. During Christmas and Holy Week his father would bring churros to the house in a big package, and on the weekends his family would go downtown and eat them.

“My grandfather would bring me into the city and we always had a breakfast on Sunday with churros and chocolate,” he said. “It was very, very traditional. In my mind, it’s a reminder of my grandfather.”

He hopes that the restaurant will help introduce Coloradans to Spanish culture and cuisine.

“It brings a bite of the Spanish tradition,” he said. “When people try it, they love it.”

Churros are popular as a family dish, and are also a late-night hit for people coming out of bars and clubs. Patatas bravas are considered a tapa, or snack, and frequently enjoyed over a beer.

Cantarovici said Churreria de Madrid wants to position itself as an “all day snack place,” and is served well by its location at Stanley, which has foot traffic throughout the day.

The restaurant’s three-person staff makes the churro dough and then fries the individual pieces in oil to get it to the perfect crispy texture, which are then fished out with a ladle and dusted with powdered sugar.

Outside the stall, customers can gather over Stanley’s long tables to share their food while watching a soccer (or football, in European parlance) match displayed on a TV above the stall.

The restaurant has been a big hit for European immigrants to the Denver area, Cantarovici said, who have flocked to Churreria de Madrid on the weekends.

Of course, “the most fanatic are the Spaniards,” he said.

The stall has also been a hit with kids due to its low prices, he said — a single churro is only 85 cents, and a filled churro is $2.75.

“They come with a crinkled dollar and they get a churro and change,” he said.

Fresh churros are pulled from the fryer to be coated in sugar and served, Jan. 19, at Churreria de Madrid, a new eatery at Stanley Marketplace.

A regional premier rom-com at the Vintage Theatre promises to light up the issue of big changes walking into the dusk of life, “Fireflies,” running through Feb. 13.

Adapted from the novel “Eleanor and Able” by Annette Sanford, the show features the ultimately respected and respectable retired teacher Eleanor Bannister, set in her ways in rural Texas. Her ways and her life get turned upside down when a drifter in town begins to fix her leaky roof and, ultimately, her complicated house of cards. Directed by regional veteran Bernie Cardell, the show stars Deborah Persoff and Verl Hite.

Playwright Matthew Barber said, “Our willingness to open ourselves to change later in life may be just as strong as when we were young, but that willingness is now up against an equally strong pull to not let go of what we had, even if what we had is now only a memory.”

NOTE: Proof of COVID-19 vaccination is required to enter the theater building. Proof of a negative test is not accepted. Patrons must wear masks inside the building, the theater and throughout the performance.

Winterfest at Gaylord Rockies

Few things scream winter activity more than ice skating. The opening scene of A Charlie Brown Christmas taught us that. Luckily, Southlands Mall has again opened their ice skating rink The Pond for another year of lacing up the skates and moving throngs of others as one unit, counter-clockwise. And even with the unseasonably warm weather, the fine people of Southlands Mall have found a way to bring this tried and true tradition to life once again. Given the social distancing protocols resulting from the ongoing pandemic, reservations need to be made this year and tickets can be purchased well in advance through the website above. As well as taking social distancing into account, due to the Tri-County Health mandates, masks are required inside the skate rental building. But that small requirement shouldn’t hinder the fun times you are sure to have on the ice. So, after you return that ugly sweater you are sure to have gotten this holiday season, make sure you take some laps around The Pond.

Thursday and Sunday showings at 7:30 p.m., 2 p.m. showing on Sunday. 9900 E Colfax Avenue, Aurora, CO 80010. Tickets are $40. Call 303739-1970 or visit www.aurorafoxcenter.org

The holidays are over, but winter is just beginning and that’s something to celebrate. Do it with a much-needed staycation at Aurora’s own great hideaway on the plains. Gaylord Rockies Resort — far, far from the state’s greatest slopes — isn’t missing out on any winter sports. You’ll find snow tubing, ice skating and ice bumper cars. Other weekly events now through February include campfires and s’mores, scavenger hunts, games at the resort’s massive pool areas and more. For those of us who need a little R&R, the Relâche Spa is getting in on all the winter activities too. A seasonal Circadian Eucalyptus Facia promises to enhance the immune system. Of course, it’s no replacement for masking and vaccinations during this time, but a little added bonus couldn’t hurt.

Organic Tarot: Works by Tya Alisa Anthony

Open Jan. 15 through April 3, 2022. Included in general admission. 1007 York Street Denver, CO 80206. www.botanicgardens.org for more information and tickets

It’s that dreaded cold January weather, and usually events at some of the metro region’s best attractions fall off the radar. Here’s a little secret: Despite it being the dead of winter, there’s always something to see at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Now through April 3 it’s “Organic Tarot,” an exhibit by artist Tya Alisa Anthony, who describes her work as “reimagining histories to create autonomous spaces for bodies of color.” “Organic Tarot” takes on the personal stories of Depression-era Black sharecroppers and transforms them into icons of mystical power, much like a tarot card would. Tarot is the ancient practice of telling future and fortune through divine guidance via a deck of vibrant cards. Anthony illuminates these old photos and layers them with vibrant botanical imagery. The finished products are as refreshing as they are bold, creating a new narrative that weaves together history, art, storytelling and life’s journey.

What does it take to right history’s wrongs? That’s the question in the Aurora Fox Theater’s latest production, “Dontrell, Who Kissed the Sea.” Through humor, wordplay and poetry, Dontrell Jones III searches the Atlantic Ocean for answers about his heritage lost during the Middle Passage, though it’s his family that isn’t quite ready to surrender him to the sea. The 90-minute production, a heartfelt social commentary, debuted in 2014 at the Source Festival in Washington, D.C. It quickly won over patrons and critics, who said it “illuminates a corner of the human condition and will change the way we understand a hero in the context of his family.” The production is the third of the Fox’s 37th season.

NOTE: Masks are required while inside the building and throughout the performance, regardless of vaccination status, except when actively eating or drinking.

ARRESTING DEVELOPMENTS

Novel city program works to draw some criminal suspects into mental health treatment to keep them from coming back

BY KARA MASON, Managing Editor

On a recent Monday morning, Chief Defender Doug Wilson said six of the eight inmates in the Aurora municipal jail were flagged with a “Code 9,” which signifies the person may be experiencing some kind of mental health issue.

That’s been the norm since Wilson arrived in Aurora in 2020. He said he quickly found that there weren’t any resources for local inmates experiencing mental health problems — which likely caused the person to be sitting in

jail in the first place — so he started brainstorming with staff at the Aurora Mental Health Center. The answer was a program called Aurora Sustained, and the premise is fairly straightforward: Four days a week, a trio of forensic psychology graduate students from the University of Denver arrive at the detention center at 7 a.m. and evaluate inmates for any behavioral health issues prior to seeing a judge. They provide crisis services information, talk about treatment options and make a plan.

“Before this program, we were just arguing for bond and hopefully getting people released. They were getting dumped back on the street and it was on them to seek treatment,” Wilson said. “Now we’re taking them by the hand and helping them get treatment so that we can stop this revolving door of ‘hit the street, come back to jail, hit the street, come back to jail.’”

At its core, Aurora Sustained is aimed at getting people mental health care who likely haven’t sought it out. So far, the program, which has been running since June, has found that about 90% of the inmates agreed to participate in services provided by Aurora Mental Health.

Patient health questionnaires used to screen for depressive symptoms have revealed that nearly 30% of inmates in the Aurora jail rank “moderately severe” and about 30% are at a moderate risk for suicidality or had a reported history of suicide ideation.

Those early statistics mimic what’s happening at detention centers across the state. Colorado Department of Corrections data from June concluded that roughly one-third of inmates in state prisons have mental health needs.

Captain Jamison Brown, the president of the Colorado Jail Association, told a state legislative committee in September that “the Department of Corrections is technically the largest mental health provider in the state of Colorado.”

Advocates for people drawn into the criminal justice center are less diplomatic, saying that Colorado jails and prisons are dumping grounds for the state’s most troubled, and often troublesome, residents.

But getting mental health services to people early on — before they’ve reached the point of finally seeking mental health care in prison — could be the best bet in helping people and reducing recidivism, said Erin Ralston, clinical director for access, homeless, and residential services at the Aurora Mental Health Center.

“We wanted to be able to get in front of them as quickly as possible so that we were able to spend some time with them, identify any of those mental health concerns, certainly do a risk assessment, and then that could inform the public defender’s team and the judge,” she said.

Since Aurora’s municipal jail can only hold a person for 72 hours, Wilson and Ralston had to devise a program that would allow inmates to seek mental health help quickly.

When a city public defender goes to court, they argue for manageable bonds for those arrested the day before or over the weekend. Unless the client can post bond, or their case is resolved, they are sent to one of the three county jails that serve Aurora.

“You really have to see them before they’re in to see the judge, because as soon as they see the judge, then they’re either moved to a different location or released, and then they kind of start to get lost in the system,” Ralston said. “And once we’ve made that initial contact, we can track them in the system.”

Aurora Sustained is unique in that it pairs offenders with mental health professionals before they ever appear in court, but the effort to draw mental health services into the judicial system has been evolving over the last decade in Colo-

rado.

District courts across the state have implemented speciality “problem solving” courts to attempt alleviating a system bogged down where mental health is a factor. In the 18th Judicial District, which covers the bulk of Aurora, a “wellness court” program is available to people charged with a felony and who have a diagnosed mental health illness, excluding sex offenders.

A “recovery court” is available to people diagnosed with substance dependence and a “veterans treatment court” focuses on “veterans struggling with service trauma-related issues.”

In July, District Attorney John Kellner announced a “recovery diversion program” that allows qualifying residents accused of possessing an illegal substance or drug paraphernalia to opt in to treatment with the nonprofit mental health group AllHealth Network.

“There is no question that too many people in our community struggle with addiction issues,” Kellner said in a statement. “Rather than see them in and out of courtrooms, it makes more sense and is more compassionate to find a way to get them help in addressing the underlying problem. This pilot program is a first step in testing a way to do more of that.”

Nationally, about 4% to 5% of Americans are seriously mentally ill, compared with as many as 18% of those in jails, according to Risë Haneberg, who leads the initiative on behalf of The Council of State Governments Justice Center. That number is dramatically lower than what many jails report, but Haneberg says that’s because jails often use a broader definition of

“We wanted to be able to get in front of them as quickly as possible so that we were able to spend some time with them, identify any of those mental health concerns, certainly do a risk assessment, and then that could inform the public defender’s team and the judge,”

mental illness and may include substance abuse disorders.

A U.S. Department of Justice report, based on a survey conducted between 2011 and 2012, found 44% of jail inmates had a history of mental health problems, including depression and bipolar disorder.

Justice experts — and Wilson agrees — that the issue of mental health in jails began in the 1970s when state psychiatric hospitals, many with appalling living conditions, began closing.

Mental health care was supposed to shift to community-based centers.

It never really happened, experts say. Although community based centers are often charged with being a safety net for mentally ill people without resources or allies, they’re often overwhelmed with patients and requests or ill-suited to adequately meet the need. “On Edge,” a recent special investigation by the Colorado News Collaborative, a consortium of news agencies statewide, which includes Sentinel Colorado, revealed a bevy of shortcomings.

Despite years of funding and efforts to expand the community mental health system, a flood of underserved communities across the state, including people in jails and prisons, have created a crisis.

The promise to invest in local services didn’t ever materialize, leaving many former psychiatric patients without treatment, says Michele Deitch of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. “We still aren’t putting money in community mental health care the way we should,” she says.

Law enforcement policies can exacerbate

the problem. When the homeless, for example, are arrested for offenses such as disorderly conduct, they often cycle in and out of jail without their mental health needs addressed. Mentally ill inmates may also remain locked up longer because they often can’t afford even relatively low bonds in misdemeanor cases.

Separate from this is a state-recognized problem where suspects are so mentally ill they are unable to legally take part in their own defense and remain imprisoned. State officials intervened in the problem last year, working to ensure that jails find resources to screen prisoners for competency and speed up treatment. Often, especially mentally ill or addicted prisoners are finally released, only to be booked again on similar or other charges.

In the Aurora Sustained program, the goal is to stop that cycle before it ever begins.

Ralston said the interns recently worked with a man who was set to be released back into the community. He was calm but “not connected to reality.” They feared he would either reoffend once out of the detention center or hurt somebody. Eventually, the team was able to get the man help and he was placed on a mental health hold. An ambulance came to get him.

“It was such a situation at the end that we kind of let out this big kind of sigh of like, OK, if we hadn’t had a mental health professional to walk through that situation, someone probably would have gotten hurt,” Ralson said.

Wilson is also proud of the fact that the program hasn’t cost the city a dime — the interns work with Aurora Mental Health, which agrees to provide the services — and it may actually

end up saving the city dollars on referring clients to psychiatrists for competency evaluations. Aurora Mental Health is funded by client fees, often reimbursed by Medicaid, and other state revenue sources.

“What we’ve seen in the past three months is the number of referrals (to psychiatrists) have reduced because the fellows can tell us, ‘Well, they have a mental health issue but it’s not to the level of incompetence,’ and we know we’re going to get them back into treatment or give them a couple of days to come down (off of a substance).”

So far, the creators of Aurora Sustained see the program as a win-win-win. It’s introducing mental health services to some of the city’s most vulnerable, attempts to interrupt a cycle of crime and it’s free to the city for now.

The defender’s office has also been given a $100,000 grant from the state to assist in competency evaluations. That may result in hiring a social worker, Wilson said.

In addition to the new program, Aurora Mental Health also runs a Community Transition Counseling Center that works with people on probation and parole to manage their mental health. The center also operates two residential houses that serve a total of 21 probation, transitional, and wellness court clients.

“Much more is needed, but we do what we can” Ralston said.

The final countdown is coming for the boys wrestling regular season, with the best part of the season ahead.

Several Aurora teams have gone through the gantlet lately and can only hope they are adequately prepared for the upcoming regional tournaments that will decide who will get to experience the state tournament in its return to Ball Arena.

Mat finish

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

Grandview, in particular, has been doing everything to get ready for the postseason, which is by the design of coach Ryan Budd. The Wolves went to the rugged Reno Tournament of Champions prior to winter break and have just completed a stretch that saw them compete in the Arvada West Invitational and Top of the Rockies Invitational, annually one of the state’s most difficult tournaments.

Grandview wrestlers have held their own against the powerhouse Panthers, giving Budd the belief that his wrestlers won’t be intimidated in any meetings down the line.

The Wolves finished tied for ninth place and had four place-winners at Top of the Rockies — which features an elite mix of teams from multiple classifications plus some from out of state — led by junior Maxwell Kibbee, who placed third at 195 pounds. Senior heavyweight Angelo Falise took fourth, senior Sonny Quintana took fifth at 145 pounds and senior Talen Rice finished sixth at 182 pounds.

Some Grandview wrestlers gave up leads late, something to work on with the biggest matches of the year upcoming.

“We’ve made a lot of mistakes, but it’s good stuff to happen now and not later,” Budd said.

which leaves the door open for those who are wrestling their best at the right time.

Cherokee Trail is led by senior Derek Glenn Jr., who is On The Mat’s top-ranked 120-pounder in 5A who is in search of a second career state title after winning one as a sophomore in 2020.

The Cougars have five others in the rankings as well.

Regis Jesuit sits in the No. 9 spot in On The Mat’s 5A rankings, but coach Brent Bieshaar’s team is likely not quite at that level with senior Zavier Carroll — who is ranked No. 3 at 195 pounds — possibly not available for the postseason due to injury.

“The next couple of weeks should be a lot of fun for us,” said Budd, whose team is ranked eighth in Class 5A according to the most recent rankings by On The Mat.

“It’s taken a long time this year, but our room is finally getting up to speed,” he added. “We’re finally finding the right balance in how hard we’re going and moving in the right direction, plus now we’ve seen just about everybody in Colorado.”

The Wolves have been the best of the best with two tournaments that also included Pomona, the state championship favorite.

The Wolves head to the Mile High Classic over the weekend at Thomas Jefferson and still have three Centennial League duals remaining, including a fun one with rival Cherokee Trail Feb. 2.

That will be a great test as coach Jeff Buck’s Cougars are coming off a win at the War Horse Invitational tournament and have gone through their own rugged road of competition throughout the season.

Cherokee Trail is set to play host to a regional tournament — which is also set to include Eaglecrest, Hinkley and Rangeview — and it could be an advantageous spot for them, even outside of the home mats.

Championship-favorite Pomona is the only currently ranked team in the field,

The Raiders do have a handful of highly-ranked, potential-filled wrestlers, however, including fast-rising 220-pounder Dirk Morley. With only a couple of years of wrestling experience and some hard lessons learned, Morley has improved on a daily basis in Bieshaar’s estimation and has risen to third in the 5A rankings. Freshman Garrett Reece is No. 4 at 126 and senior Garrett Padgett No. 5 at 182 pounds.

Eaglecrest snuck into the rankings at one point and certainly has proven that it belongs there. Coach Javier Quintana’s Raptors have been doing damage just about everywhere they’ve gone this season.

Eaglecrest earned a thrilling Centennial League win over Cherokee Trail earlier in the season in a victory Quintana called a “benchmark” against a program that had largely dominated the Raptors in the past.

So far, Eaglecrest’s only dual loss of the season came to Grandview in a match in which the Raptors jumped in front early before the Wolves roared back to victory. Eaglecrest is primed to take advantage of its regional position.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Grandview’s Lauren Betts earns McDonald’s All-American honors

Lauren Betts’ basketball resume continues to add line after impressive line.

The 6-foot-7 Grandview High School star added the title of McDonald’s All-American after she was part of the group picked to play in the March 29 contest at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago as revealed Jan. 25 on ESPN’s “NBA Today” show.

The McDonald’s All-American Selection Committee chose the rosters from a pool of nearly 800 senior nominees from 503 high schools in 41 states and the District of Columbia.

The McDonald’s All-American Games are set to return after they were canceled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic, however the COVID-19 situation is being monitored and could change that.

As of now, the games will be played consecutively March 29 at the United Center in Chicago with the girls game scheduled for 4:30 p.m. MT (televised on ESPN2) followed by the boys game at 7 p.m. MT on ESPN.

The 6-foot-7 Betts, a Stanford signee who is the top-ranked player in the Class of 2022, has averaged 14 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.6 blocked shots per game after missing the first three games for the Wolves.

Betts (who is part of a Colorado combo of selections that also includes Valor Christian’s Raegan Beers) joins exclusive company as the third player from an Aurora girls basketball program to be selected as a McDonald’s All-American and she is the second all-time pick for coach Josh Ulitzy’s Grandview program following Michaela Onyenwere in 2017.

Onyenwere — who tallied eight points, six rebounds, two assists and a steal in her McDonald’s All-American appearance — went on to an All-American career at UCLA, was taken by the New York Liberty with the No. 6 overall draft pick in the 2021 WNBA Draft and earned Rookie of the Year in her first professional campaign.

Regis Jesuit graduate Fran Belibi, Betts’ future Stanford teammate, is the final selection from an Aurora girls basketball program to make the McDonald’s All-American Game. She won the PowerAde Jam Fest in 2019.

ALUMNI Smoky Hill grad Jenny Cavnar named Colorado Sportcaster of the Year

Smoky Hill High School graduate Jenny Cavnar received a huge accolade from the National Sports Media Association, which dubbed her Colorado’s Sportscaster of the Year.

Cavnar, a multi-sport athlete at Smoky Hill and daughter of longtime Smoky Hill and Regis Jesuit baseball coach Steve Cavnar, is an announcer for the Colorado Rockies on AT&T

SportsNet. She is the first woman to win the award in Colorado.

A two-time Emmy Award winner with over a decade of experience, Cavnar — a Colorado State University graduate — also made history in 2018 as the first woman to do play-by-play for a Major League Baseball Game in a quarter century when she was on the call for a contest between the Rockies and the San Diego Padres.

The NMSA will honor the state winners and its Hall of Fame Class of 2022 — which includes the late Stuart Scott — at its 62nd awards weekend and national convention, which is set for June 25-27 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

GIRLS BASKETBALL Grandview drops pair vs. country’s best in Minnesota tournament

The Grandview girls basketball team got a look at some of the country’s elite programs during the nationally-televised Girls Invitational tournament played at Hopkins High

School in Minnesota Jan. 21-22.

The Wolves opened against De Soto (Texas), which was ranked No. 2 in the country and built a double-digit lead at halftime in a game aired on ESPN+, but ended up on the short end of a 68-54 contest. Senior Lauren Betts finished with 21 points (and was credited with 13 rebounds and eight assists in a near triple-double, plus five blocks) to lead Grandview, which also got 18 points from senior Marya Hudgins.

Grandview played host Hopkins in the third-place game and ended up dropping a 66-37 contest. Lauren Betts finished with 16 points

followed

Sidwell Friends — the country’s top-ranked team and the only one Grandview did not face — won the championship of the mini-tournament with a victory over De Soto.

The Wolves have played three grueling out-of-state tournaments so far, which has contributed to a 5-9 record. Grandview returns to play in Colorado Jan. 28 with a road game at Regis Jesuit in a rematch with a team that defeated it in last year’s Class 5A semifinals.
