Asking Colorado politicians a favor for 2023: Hide your crazy

If you’re reading this, I’ve survived Election 2022, and I’m wishing for you the same.

For the last 40 years or so, I swear off journalism every year as the clock ticks out on a series of sadistic events that result in madly typing and retyping election results and quotes, late into the night of the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

I regularly swear I’m done with journalism as Election Day nears because I, like thousands of other journalists, must flounder through a gurgling cesspool of politics for months just to get here.

My wife, Melody, has after all these decades perfected her annual election eye roll and exasperated sigh she gives me with, “you say the same thing every year.”

This time, folks, I mean it when I say, “I’ve seen some things and some stuff,” and I can’t unsee or unhear any of it.

This — no, honestly, I really mean it — was like no election I’ve ever seen. It was the worst.

No, really.

It’s very early on Election Day right now. Who knows how long it will be before we know for sure who won. Counting millions of votes is tedious business.

One loser for sure, however, is former Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters.

band of FEC United fanatics?

Well, Colorado GOP gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl kissed goodbye to her campaign the day before the election, enjoying a little Oltmann quality time on his show.

And the current chairperson of the Colorado Republican Party led Oltman’s FEC United group — Faith, Education and Commerce — as its president, at least in 2020.

No, it is true.

Just a year ago, Next on 9News host Kyle Clark reported, “Leaders of a far-right group with a militia arm testified under oath that Kristi Burton Brown led the organization prior to becoming the Colorado Republican Party chairwoman.”

She won’t respond to media questions about leading FEC United and its partner militia group, the United American Defense Force.

Through the last election cycle, Burton Brown was the face and voice of the Colorado Republican Party.

The mouthpiece of Colorado’s formerly conservative and grand old party is fringe, like on the bottom of a moth- and mold-eaten lampshade in the darkest, scariest part of your basement.

This is the same Republican Party that once boasted Aurora state Rep. Gary McPherson, an amazing state lawmaker keenly interested in fairness, equity, honesty and roads. The I-225 flyover of Parker Road is named after him.

As if it wasn’t enough to follow Peters’ deranged journey to the dark side of the loony herd of election deniers, who believe things that at first sound just dumb as a bucket of hair. But the “election denier” conspiracies she and her fans perpetuate are actually sinister. Their goal is clearly to undermine everyone’s faith in the indisputably faithful and accurate voting system here, and across the nation, persuading millions that it’s been hacked.

Russian Federation officials were having to pay millions in lagging, half-baked attempts to do what Peters and Co. have actually pulled off — for free.

Peters, awaiting adjudication on seven felony counts of election tampering, threw her tin-foil hat in the ring earlier this year for the GOP nomination for secretary of state.

She got her political ass kicked by eventual GOP nominee Pam Anderson.

While running for the nomination, the Grand Junction Queen of Meaninglessness stopped in Castle Rock for a meeting of the mindless supporting her campaign.

Also at that Douglas County Tina Show was 9News reporter Marshall Zelinger, who recorded Peters and a pal on stage telling real, live people who turned out for the event that he had absolute proof that current Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold was criminally messing with elections.

He had no proof, and no one has ever produced anything other than empty, spurious allegations.

But he went on to say, “You know, if you’re involved in election fraud, then you deserve to hang.”

And right there in Zelinger’s video is Peters, applauding and cheering the call to hang Griswold.

Astonishingly, 129,092 people, about 25% of the GOP vote, actually voted for her during the June primary election after the stunt. She still has fans or victims or whatever word best describes them.

Among them is podcast shock jock Joe Oltmann, the creator of FEC United. It’s a frightening, Colorado-based group of conspiracy theorists and anarchists so far-right and so unhinged that only the most non-compos of the most desperate of right wing extremists will publicly snuggle up to their fanaticism.

How whack is their stuff?

Oltmann’s claim to fame in the real world comes from repeatedly calling for elected Democrats to be convicted of treason for doing things like running the government or following laws he doesn’t like, and then being hanged for their “crimes.”

When confronted by reputable media about his antics, he said on one of his shows, “I did call for the hanging of traitors, because traitors to the nation — if you go and look at what happens for treason — it is punishable by death, and so I think they should be hung — two inches off the ground so they choke to death.”

Of course there’s more.

“Pretty soon we’ll have gallows being built all over the country,” he said, referring to all kinds of elected officials and those who push back against his lies. “We can take care of all these traitors to our nation.”

That’s so 2022.

And who would be crazy enough to associate with Oltmann or his

The GOP Party that now applauds public threats of murder and civil war is the same party of Cynthia Coffman, the state’s former attorney general who fought valiantly for the rule of law when it suited her party’s platform and just the same as when it didn’t.

This year, Coffman, at one time one of the state’s most prominent Republicans, endorsed Democratic incumbent Attorney General Phil Weiser for the job.

It’s all so 2022.

Not part of Coffman’s crowd was this cycle’s GOP nominee for governor, Ganahl.

She ran fast and furious as a gubernatorial candidate into the arms of far-right wingnuts and election deniers, stapling Aurora military vet and businessman — and profoundly public election denier — Danny Moore onto her political ticket as lieutenant governor.

Ganahl apparently decided she needed Moore in her campaign, even after he was publicly and very ceremoniously booted a few months before as chairperson of this cycle’s Colorado redistricting commission.

He had unapologetically got caught posting election denial scheme memes on social media.

She and Moore spent the following few months telling everyone that Danny, now actually says, out loud, that Joe Biden is the commander in chief, without ever retracting or apologizing for his past dizzying dance of Danny the Denier.

Denying Danny’s denialism became almost forgettable when Ganahl stumbled onto the 2022 gaga campaign coup de grâce of: furrygate.

Ganahl grabbed hold of this spotty national conspiracy theory with all the gusto and grace of a cat after a red laser light. Ganahl tried to persuade the public that schools across Colorado have been infested with children who “identify as cats” and other animals, calling them “furries.”

The whole thing is a passé slight toward LGTBQ people and students.

She said many parents, swearing on Donald Trump’s political grave, pledge that local schools allow these “furries” to piddle in pans of cat litter and hiss and scratch at anyone coming their way.

This was just a couple of weeks ago, about the time I started hovering around at the job application table at a nearby Home Depot.

Just when I thought the Ganahl catty caper couldn’t get any nuttier, the wheels came off at Channel 4 when TV reporter Shaun Boyd appeared to try to give the crazy-cat-lady conundrum some kind of 2022 legitimacy.

It did not. In between all that, we’ve rolled through a veritable ocean of daily sickness from Congressperson Lauren Boebert, who managed to top herself a couple of months again when she told political rallyists that the U.S. government needs to incorporate the Christian Bible into things like the Constitution and all of the nation’s laws.

Not making this up, Boebert’s been on a long, biblical Taliban binge, culminating in her 2022 magnum opus: “I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk.”

Me? I’m just tired, and already looking through emails focusing on Election 2023. Follow @EditorDavePerry on Twitter and Facebook or reach him at 303-7507555 or dperry@SentinelColorado.com

APD chief discarded transparency, accountability and his promises — in his words, ‘get rid of the chief’

EditorialSentinel

It seems Aurora Police can’t resist eroding public trust by perpetuating a culture of concealment and vindication. News about Interim Police Chief Dan Oates’ dubious dismantling of police oversight and overturning discipline of two officers has created yet another debacle for the city’s embattled police department.

A story first reported Friday by Channel 4 investigative reporter Brian Maass, and a deeper story the next day by SentinelColorado, revealed that a series of actions taken by Oates has created a quandary in APD that will leave another indelible scar on the already staggered department.

The Sentinelstory revealed that Oates brushed aside credible allegations of malfeasance committed by then command chief Cassidee Carlson. Oates overturned official judgments against her made by the police department’s Internal Affairs board, as well as the Chief’s Review Board.

And three days later, he promoted Carlson to the high-level rank of patrol division chief.

Talk among the ranks about Carlson’s investigation by the police department’s Internal Affairs unit prompted the Sentinelto file records requests for the case weeks ago, which were denied.

The investigation report, leaked to Channel 4, detailed Carlson’s questionable involvement in a friend’s violation of a restraining order. Both the Internal Affairs unit and the Chief’s Review Board rebuked Carlson, issuing a judgment of “behavior unbecoming an officer.” The IA unit went further, criticizing Carlson for being dishonest with investigators.

The police department has, over the past few years, been justly excoriated by the community, police and state officials for brushing aside and concealing a long, garish list of police corruption and abusive, even deadly, behaviors.

In fact, recent changes in state law forcing police departments to act more transparently and with accountability were prompted by Aurora’s horrific past exploits.

LETTERS: SIDS is on the rise, but simple changes can save lives

Editor : As a pediatrician, it’s a privilege to take care of babies and provide guidance to their families. The first year of life is filled with exciting milestones, but can be an overwhelming time for new parents. With so much going on, safe infant sleep practices can fall by the wayside. This puts babies at risk for SIDS.

SIDS is the leading cause of death for infants between 1 month and 1 year of age in the U.S. Since the mid-1990s, nearly 4,000 babies have died every year in their sleep. Nearly 99% of

Not only did Oates subvert the work of almost a dozen veteran, respected police officials who rebuked Carlson, he then dissolved the Chief’s Review Board and reduced the ranks, and rank, of internal affairs officials.

Finally, rather than penalizing Carlson for what at best appears to be astonishingly poor judgment — impugning her ability to make critical judgments as a police officer and especially a top-level commander — Oates promoted her, three days after he upended her rebuke.

In a separate incident, a new Aurora police hire was arrested in Arkansas earlier this year, after becoming involved in a domestic situation. He was charged with drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and he then became abusive to jail deputies, according to police records.

In Aurora, that’s grounds for immediate termination. The novice cop was fired by Oates and then apparently “unfired” on the same day, unilaterally.

When the Sentinelasked police officials on Oct. 5 if Oates had altered discipline of any Aurora officers, his spokesperson said no.

It’s nearly impossible to fathom the level of delusion and tone deafness Oates suffers to ignore the wrath of the community and state of Colorado that has beset the Aurora police department.

His smug and unapologetic excuse is that, as chief, he expects to be afforded the role of what essentially would be described as a benevolent police dictator.

“As chief, it is my sole responsibility to decide what discipline is appropriate. My record is clear. I know how to hold cops accountable for misconduct,” Oates said in a statement to Channel 4. “

Oates holds no such record, and he is gravely mistaken in believing that he, alone, sets the standards for police behavior and discipline in Aurora, or anywhere.

He overlooks or never understood that it was under his tenure, too, that Aurora Police was infected with a toxic culture of favoritism, concealment and vindication of select officers.

these deaths were linked to unsafe sleep environments that contributed to infant suffocation or asphyxiation.

The good news is that infant sleep-related deaths are preventable. Making simple changes to babies’ sleep environments can reduce risk of SIDS dramatically. In the hope of spreading the word to the Denver community about safer sleep for babies, here are some simple pediatrician-approved tips for parents & caregivers to adopt:

* Follow the ABCs of Safe Sleep: babies should sleep alone, on their backs, in a crib.

* Use a firm, flat mattress and tight-fitting sheet.

* Remove soft toys and bedding (blankets, pillows, crib bumpers) from the sleep area.

* Dress the baby in a onesie or sleep-sack; don’t use loose blankets to keep them warm.

* Room-share with your baby, but don’t ever share a bed with your baby.

Together, we can spread the word to caregivers everywhere to keep babies safe as they sleep.

Oates represents the very thing that the state attorney general has charged Aurora with in a consent decree to purge from the department.

The APD is composed of hundreds of diligent, talented and trusted officers and civilian employees who are stained when the department overlooks arrests for drunkenness and disorderly behavior, or when commanding officers call their cousins to watch over dubious domestic violence fallout for friends.

And those valued and honorable cops, and the public they serve, have every right to expect that their chief, their supervisors and their peers be held to the same standards as the public and the profession demands.

Oates has made Aurora’s police department chaos exponentially worse with his poor judgment.

Aurora police must meet three overarching demands from the community and the state in reforming its police department: it must be transparent, it must be accountable and it must submit to independent review.

As a remedy now, city council members and the attorney general need to immediately insist that Aurora fund, appoint and staff an office of independent oversight to coordinate with the state mandated independent auditor.

Oates either forgot or discarded his own comments when he came on board in April, to replace fired Chief Vanessa Wilson, removed under a cloud of suspicion and doubt.

Oates said he was “not coming in with an agenda to change the discipline process,” he said at a press conference.

He told the Sentinel, “The way I think an ideal police department should operate is that the chief decides what’s appropriate discipline in a transparent way, for the cops and for the community, and if the community and the elected officials are unhappy with those decisions, then you get rid of the chief.”

Oates has been neither transparent nor prudent in this fiasco, and we agree with him, “get rid of the chief.”

COST OF SERVING

AURORA CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS EYE MAKING LEGISLATING A FULL-TIME JOB

Aurora’s City Council could ask voters for a pay raise next year under a proposal that would treat membership as a full-time responsibility and, hopefully, proponents say, make the job more accessible to working-class residents.

MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

Salaries for council members, the mayor and the mayor pro tem are defined by the city’s charter, which also provides for yearly cost-of-living adjustments. But while preparing for and attending council functions and responding to the demands of a growing number of constituents can take more than 40 hours per week, council members still make less than the annualized minimum wage.

Currently, Aurora council members earn $20,063 per year, while the mayor pro tem earns $22,286 and the mayor earns $86,758.

“The expectation from our residents is that we are available and that we actually have more insight on what’s going on in and around our city,” Councilmember Angela Lawson said while presenting her proposal to a council policy committee Tuesday. “I think we’re losing out on some potential people running for council because they can’t live off of the income we make. They just can’t.”

Lawson argued that low pay creates a high barrier to entry for residents who can’t jug-

gle a full-time job and City Council but have a valuable perspective to bring to the group.

She presented two alternative pay schedules that could go into effect in 2027. Under the first — which was based on the pay of elected officials in similarly-sized, out-of-state cities that also operate under a council-manager form of government — council members would make $42,316, the mayor pro tem would make $59,425 and the mayor would make $89,694.

The second pay schedule — based on an analysis by the city’s Human Resources Department, which also looked at out-of-state cities as well as the responsibilities of the jobs — sets pay for council members at $67,889, for the mayor pro tem at $82,437 and for the mayor at $96,984.

Because Lawson’s proposal would modify the charter, it would ultimately have to be presented to the city’s electorate as a ballot question. Voters last approved a council pay raise of about 33% in 2017, prior to which the salary hadn’t budged for nearly 25 years.

Councilmember Juan Marcano said he left his day job to focus on his responsibilities as an elected official, but said the move was a “tremendous privilege,” enabled by the fact that his wife is also in the workforce.

“When I ran for this position in 2019, originally I thought naively that I was going to be

able to keep my day job and serve,” he said. “If I were single, for example, that would have precluded me completely from serving, because I wouldn’t earn enough money to even keep myself housed right now.”

Not everyone was supportive of the proposed raises. Councilmember Francoise Bergan said she believed labeling a council member’s job as “full-time” would make it harder for a candidate to negotiate with their current employer if they wanted to keep their job and hold office.

“You can’t say to your employer, ‘Hey, I’m going to work full-time for you, (and) don’t worry, I’m going to work full-time for council,’” she said. “It’s public service. We didn’t run to make a full-time salary.”

Lawson responded that candidates would need to communicate with their employer about their plans to run for office regardless and that she did not understand why the changes would make it more difficult for a person to keep a job while serving on council.

Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said the only way she’d consider supporting the change would be if the city eliminated council members’ travel budgets. On top of their base pay, council members are entitled to an annual travel budget of $7,000 per person, while the mayor receives a travel budget of $11,000.

decisions.”

School districts across the country, including in Aurora, have increased their focus on social-emotional learning skills in the wake of the pandemic, which led to an increase in behavioral issues and mental health concerns among young people

Christiano Sosa, the foundation’s vice president of community impact, said that Rose chose to focus on social-emotional learning after doing an analysis of what people in the education field thought they should be focused on as part of ongoing pandemic recovery.

“It was clear that (social-emotional learning) was really top of mind as a precondition for learner advancement,” he said.

Sosa said that in deciding what organizations to award grants to, applicants that had a direct connection to people most affected by the issues rose to the top. Equity is also a core focus of Rose, and Sosa said about a third of the grantees are helmed by people of color.

In Aurora, both The ROCK Center and Vega Collegiate Academy received grants from Rose for the first time.

The ROCK Center is a community organization based in the Del Mark Park neighborhood of Aurora that provides arts programming to young people and their families. Vega Collegiate Academy is a charter school in north Aurora that serves a high percentage of low-income students. The grant will go specifically towards the school’s multidisciplinary social wellness team.

Rose has worked with YAASPA and the APS Foundation before, and Sosa spoke highly of both. YAASPA is a youth-focused organization that helps young people of color in Denver and Aurora become politically active in their communities

Sosa said he has “deep and profound respect” for the organization, and praised the intergenerational work it does.

The APS Foundation supports Aurora Public Schools in a number of ways, and the grant will go towards supporting behavioral health programs in schools.

“This was an easy acceptance for us,” Sosa said of supporting the APS Foundation.

Across organizations, Sosa said Rose heard from many people about the need for increased mental health support for youth as well as workforce shortages in the education field. The foundation hopes the grants will help the organizations to leverage their resources.

“Anything we can do to build capacity, we’re all in,” he said.

Colorado officers charged in train accident

Two police officers involved in the arrest of a woman who was seriously injured when the parked patrol car she was in was hit by a freight train in Platteville were charged Monday.

Prosecutors also announced that the woman, Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, who was arrested after a report of an alleged road rage incident involving a gun before the crash, was also charged with felony menacing.

The Weld County District Attorney’s Office announced the charges in a statement. It provided basic court documents listing the charges but said it would not provide further details because of “pending litigation.” The documents did not include a narrative about what the officers allegedly did leading up to the Sept. 16 crash, which was captured on police body camera footage.

Rios-Gonzalez’s lawyer, Paul Wilkinson, who has said he planned to file suit over the crash, did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment.

Of the two police officers, Fort Lupton Officer Jordan Steinke, faces the most serious charges — attempted manslaughter and second-degree assault — both felonies. No lawyers were listed as representing her in online court records yet and no contact information for her was listed on the department’s website.

Pablo Vazquez, a sergeant from the neighboring city of Platteville identified on body camera footage as the arresting officer, was charged with five counts of reckless endangerment for allegedly putting Rios-Gonzalez, Steinke and three other people at risk, as well as for traffic-related violations including parking where prohibited.

A telephone message and email sent to Vazquez at work were not immediately returned. Online court records did not list an attorney representing him yet either.

Following the crash, Vazquez told other officers on body camera footage that he thought he had cleared the tracks when he parked his patrol vehicle behind Rios-Gonzalez’s truck to arrest her. He said he was focused on her because he was concerned about weapons. He also said he did not know that the other officer he was working with from another department, who was not identified, had put Rios-Gonzalez in his patrol vehicle until after it was hit by the train. He said the “saving grace” was that the other officer put Rios-Gonzalez on the side of the vehicle not usually used

for people who are arrested.

Other video from Vazquez’s body camera show him and another officer searching Rios-Gonzalez’s truck as the train approaches and its horn is blaring. Vazquez asks the other officer several times over the sound of the train’s rumbling whether Rios-Gonzalez was in the patrol vehicle and she responds, one hand to her face, “Oh my God, yes, she was!”

Other police video shows officers scrambling as the train approaches and slams into the vehicle.

Mayor Mike Coffman tried unsuccessfully to block council members from using the budget for international travel earlier this year, after Marcano and Councilmember Crystal Murillo’s trip to a suburb of Paris for an urban design conference.

Jurinsky said she disliked the idea of per-diem travel payments and that she had an issue with another unnamed council member receiving a raise, saying that “the one council member currently on council alone hangs the whole thing up for me.”

Marcano also said that fellow progressive Alison Coombs supported the idea behind the proposal but thought the raises for the mayor and mayor pro tem were disproportionate, to which Bergan, who is serving currently as mayor pro tem, agreed.

Lawson’s proposal and the amounts of raises for council members will next be the topic of a public hearing, after which it could move forward to a study session, which Lawson said she hoped would be in 2023. If passed by voters, the raise would go into effect in 2027, she said.

Standoff leads to 16yo’s suicide

An early morning road-rage encounter with an off-duty Aurora police officer turned into an hourslong SWAT standoff resulting in a 16-year-old gunfire suspect shooting himself dead, according to Aurora police.

The deadly series of events started just after 8 a.m. Nov. 3 while an off-duty Aurora police officer, just off her shift, was in a fast-food parking lot at East Mississippi Avenue and Chambers Road.

The officer “was driving in her personal car in the parking lot after her shift when a red Toyota sedan exiting a drive-thru cut off the officer,” Aurora Police Public Information Officer Joe Moylan said in a statement. “The officer honked at the driver of the sedan.”

While driving away south on Chambers, the officer said she watched the driver of the sedan drive across opposing lanes of traffic to catch up with her and cut her off.

Friday morning police identified the driver as Jaquey Talone Wyrick, 26. He was arrested Thursday and faces charges of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer.

Wyrick pursued the officer west on Mississippi to I-25, police reported

The officer then drove onto southbound I-225, she told police.

“While driving south between Mississippi and Iliff, the red sedan pulled up next to the officer’s driver’s side window,” Moylan said. “A front seat passenger rolled down the window, leaned halfway outside of the car and fired multiple rounds at the officer.”

The officer was not injured during the shooting, police said.

She called 911 to report the license plate of the red sedan, and police traced it to an apartment in the Preserve at City Center Apartments, 1098 S. Evanston Way.

Wyrick was arrested there.

“The suspected shooter barricaded himself in a third-story apartment,” police said.

Patrol officers tried to contact the suspected shooter, later identified as a 16-year-old boy, but they were unable to persuade him to surrender, Moylan said.

At about 10:30 a.m., police fired a large foam “projectile” against the apartment siding.

“Shortly thereafter, a sound consistent with a gunshot was heard from inside the apartment,” Moylan said.

Aurora Police SWAT teams were called and tried to make contact with the boy for several hours.

“At 2:20 p.m., SWAT entered the apartment and discovered the suspect dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” police said.

Police did not identify the driver nor the shooter. The boy’s identity will be released later by coroner officials.

At about 3:30 p.m., police shut down southbound lanes of I-225 between Mississippi and Iliff avenues

for about an hour. to search for gunfire evidence from earlier in the day.

“Officers recovered several shell casings consistent with the weapon recovered from the apartment,” Moylan said.

Police did not say what, if any, charges they would seek against the driver of the car.

Aurora seeks restorative justice feedback

The City of Aurora wants resident input on a future local restorative justice program, as it considers introducing the diversion option to its municipal court.

Restorative justice programs generally focus on repairing harm caused by crime in ways other than punishing offenders. The programs often involve meetings between criminal defendants and crime victims, which are meant to foster a community-based system of accountability that discourages re-offending.

According to a city news release, through restorative justice, the city hopes to:

Increase the sense of safety and security within neighborhoods and community

Improve cohesion of neighborhoods

Reduce the harms associated with criminal justice involved with specific offenses identified through the research process.

Empower victims to participate in addressing the harms suffered by themselves and their community.

The city said in the release that it has contracted with the nonprofit Conflict Center to develop a plan for the program, including gauging res-

idents’ opinions of the criminal justice system and restorative justice in particular.

Residents can access the survey until 5 p.m. on Nov. 30 at EngageAurora.org/RestorativeJustice. Gift cards worth $15 will be given to survey participants while supplies last.

Aurora City Council member Curtis Gardner sponsored the resolution last year that committed $100,000 from the city’s general fund to designing a restorative justice program. He said in a statement  that he was glad to see the vision coming to fruition.

“This diversion program will be another tool our courts will have

in addressing crime in our communty,” he said. “The uniqueness of restorative justice from the traditional court system is that victims play an active role in the process, and participants can truly have their lives changed before entering the prison pipeline.”

The city’s release said The Conflict Center hopes to complete a plan for the program by June 2023.

“Partnering with the city of Aurora to create a vision for restorative justice is very important and meaningful for us,” Beth Yohe, the center’s executive director, said in the same release. “We take the responsibility to elevate community voice

and create an implementation plan informed by community experience to heart.”

The Conflict Center will also facilitate focus groups, interviews and listening sessions as well as the establishment of a community advisory committee which will help it create the plan.

More information about the program is available at EngageAurora. org/RestorativeJustice, and residents with questions can reach out to The Conflict Center at info@conflictcenter.org.

Preps

It’s hard to beat a good team three teams in one season, but the Colorado Academy field hockey team found a way to do so against Regis Jesuit.

The Mustangs completed a three-game season sweep of the Raiders with a 2-0 victory Nov. 2 at Stutler Bowl with the state championship on the line.

FIELD HOCKEY

A rematch of last season’s state final — and the third time the matchup has played out in the title game in the past five seasons — went this time to Colorado Academy, which avenged last season’s loss to match a win over Regis Jesuit in 2019.

Chandler to poke it past Regis Jesuit’s MaryKate Berg.

It was only the second goal allowed by Berg in three championship game appearances as she shut out Colorado Academy in last season’s final and allowed a single score in the 2020 title game against Cherry Creek.

RJ’s title run ends

Coach Spencer Wagner’s Regis Jesuit team finished the season 13-3-2 and had its season end in the state championship game for the fifth consecutive time.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

“That’s a team with regional, national players and we used teamwork and athleticism to try to outplay them,” Wagner said. “Skill prevailed in the end. It was a great season, they did everything we asked of them and they were putting in the absolute effort until the end. Two teams get a trophy, so I guess we get to take something home and add it to the shelf.”

When two elite teams play, the different usually comes down to the execution of penalty corner chances and Colorado Academy prevailed in those terms.

The Mustangs broke a scoreless deadlock on a corner opportunity near the midway point of the second quarter when they got consecutive chances. The second one paid off for Colorado Academy as Addison Chandler fed the ball in to Sophie Brants, who put it in front and allowed

Very early in the third quarter, another series of corner chances led to a goal from Colorado Academy senior Zoe Martin, a Division I commit with the University of Michigan who finished as the state leader in goals scored and total points for a reason. Berg came out to make an initial save on a shot by Riley Leversedge and while she was on the turf, Martin deftly earned some space and lifted the ball into the air and into the open goal.

“They have good backhand shots that are really hard to save, they are good at transferring the ball and they are really fast,” Regis Jesuit senior defender Libby Roe said of the Mustangs’ weapons on penalty corners. “We definitely wanted to play CA. They are a really good team and they bring out the best in us.”

Added Wagner: “We defended them phenomenally, but when you give up 10 corners against a team like that, if you do the math, it’s going to be two goals. I didn’t expect us to hold this to a 0-0 game like last night (a 1-0 semifinal win over Kent Denver on a goal by senior Emily Bradac) because CA is too powerful on attack. To win, we needed to score and we didn’t.”

Indeed Regis Jesuit’s offense — which finished the season with an average of 2.5 goal scored per game — were shut out for a second straight time by Colorado Academy. The Raiders’ only goal in 12 quarters against the Mustangs came from junior Bebe Ghiselli in the third period of the first matchup.

The Raiders generated some chances in the

final quarter, but were unable to put one past the Mustangs’ Jessica Lapidus to give themselves some life.

While there were tears when it was over, Regis Jesuit players were proud that they’d upheld the recent tradition established by the program — and the high level of expectations that come with it — and again earned the chance to play on the final day.

“Honestly, at the beginning of the season I didn’t know if we were going to be here today,” said senior Carly Kennedy, who finished tied with junior Sydney Cornell for the team lead in goals with 13 and paced the Raiders in assists with seven.

“So being here today is an awesome feeling since ultimately we do it for fun,” she added. “I’m glad we are here, win or lose, and we got second so I’m still feeling good.”

Added Berg, who said she was grateful for an incredible four years with the program: “Our goal is always to win state, but our purpose is to be with and for others. I think even throughout game today we stood up to that. That’s what I’ve seen, us being good competitors and taking the loss as well as we can.”

Both of Aurora’s qualifiers for the Class 5A girls volleyball state tournament enter three days of play trending in the right direction, but for different reasons.

Grandview and Cherokee Trail each swept through regional tournaments on their respective home floors Nov. 5 and head to the Denver Coliseum — where the state tournament returns after two years at the World Arena in Colorado Springs — in their best frames of mind.

has been a regular double-digit kill performer as a compliment to junior Emerson Deferme and Glunz has been a boon in the middle.

Grandview garnered the No. 5 overall seed among the 12 teams that qualified for the 5A state tournament and will face No. 12 Denver South — which pulled off the upset of the entire regional round by knocking out No. 4 Legend — at 9:30 a.m. Nov. 10 in its opening match.

The Wolves feel good about their chances at the state tournament, especially because it is double-elimination and allows for a margin for error if there is a loss, though an early one makes for a considerably longer road.

The format is also a boon for coach Harry Hendon’s Cherokee Trail team, which has prided itself on the resilience it has displayed this season.

State ready

Grandview has sustained more losses than it is used to, but most came early in the season when some lineup changes made things difficult for the Wolves against quality opponents.

Since Graham shifted senior Haley Glunz back to middle blocker and got junior Peyton Belcher on the floor at outside hitter, Grandview has been nearly unstoppable.

The Wolves have won nine of their last 10 matches, which includes a sweep of Cherry Creek to win the Centennial League Challenge after the Bruins had won in five sets in the league meeting as well as a 3-1 showing at the rugged Colorado Volleyball Invitational in Colorado Springs.

Grandview virtually cruised through its two regional matches — straight set wins over No. 31 Dakota Ridge and No. 19 Pine Creek — despite needing to use sophomore Ashley Harkness at setter in place of regular Evelyn Klumker. Belcher

The Cougars (17-8) have been absent from the state tournament since 2019 — when the seniors on the team were freshmen — but earned their way back by coming through when the odds began to pile up against them.

It happened again in the Region 11 championship match, as Cherokee Trail found itself down a set to No. 14 Douglas County — which came out on fire — but dug their way back to win three straight.

Cherokee Trail now heads to the state tournament as the No. 10 seed and is no stranger to top competition. Seven of the Cougars’ eight losses came to teams that are in the state tournament, they own a win over second-seeded Mountain Vista earlier in the season and also have a five-set victory over Grandview on its resume.

The opening round of the state tournament gives Cherokee Trail a chance for some revenge, as it will face No. 7 Cherry Creek (18-7) in an all-Centennial League match slated for 12:30 p.m.

The state field also includes No. 1 Valor Christian, No. 2 Mountain Vista, No. 3 Rock Canyon, No. 4 Rampart, No. 6 Chaparral, No. 8 Fossil Ridge, No. 9 Chatfield and No. 11 Heritage.

Event by event, things got better for the Overland gymnastics team at the Class 5A state championship meet Nov. 3. The Trailblazers had a bumpy start on the vault in the team competition, but worked their way back into the meet in the following three segments of the team competition at Thornton High School.

In the end, coach Lisa Sparrow’s Overland team finished with its season-best score of 178.975 points — and had the fifth-place finisher in the all-around competition in junior Kyla Burke — to put it in a tie for fourth place in the final standings.

The absence of Richman, one of the team’s best on the vault, definitely was felt in the opening event and the Trailblazers then moved on to a better performance on the balance beam that was led by freshman Ainsley Renner.

Renner — a Grandview student who missed nearly the entire season due to injury, but returned to compete on the balance beam at regionals — earned a score of 9.235 in the event that was sixth-highest on the day.

The uneven bars also were a positive with Burke’s seventh-place score of 9.275 leading the way, which punched the CEC student’s ticket to the individual events as well. It was her best performance in any of the events and it helped

High note finish

“It’s hard in a meet when you start off with an event that was not good and not what we were hoping to do,” Sparrow said, referencing the vault, in which the best Overland score was Burke in 25th.

“They took that every event they went out and they did a little better,” she added. “They were clawing themselves out of the hole from the first event. By the time we got to the floor (the last event) they were rolling and had some confidence back.”

In a wide open meet, Broomfield made the fewest mistakes and went on to win its second straight state championship, while Mountain Range (180.950) and Thornton (179.225) rounded out the top three, just ahead of Overland and Arvada West in a tie for fourth.

It was mostly satisfying result for Sparrow’s team, which lost standout Maya Richman to injury during the season and has competed for the whole campaign without Mattea Dolan, whose chose not to compete this season after she won the all-around title in 2020 and placed in three individual events a year ago.

her to a combined score of 36.825 that put her in fifth place in the all-around standings.

Overland has a long tradition of strong performances in the floor exercise and this was no exception, as four of the six Trailblazers to compete finished in the top 15 and earned their way into the individual event finals.

Sophomore Ryann Walline (Overland) led the way with a seventh-place score of 9.400 followed by senior Sydney Stadler (Cherokee Trail) in eighth (9.350), Burke in ninth (9.325) and junior Emeley Brain (Elevation), who finished in a tie for 15th (9.225).

“Floor is where we love to show off and perform, be clean and do great performances,” Sparrow said. “With the rotation that we had, we couldn’t have ended on a better event. Our girls walked away and were happy and positive. They could keep the floor fresh in their mind and let the rest of it go.”

Sparrow was pleased with the volume of qualifiers for individual event finals, though only one gymnast ended up getting on the medal podium as part of the top 10.

Walline qualified for the individual event finals in the floor exercise for a second straight season

and she bettered her previous finish this time. She moved up two spots from ninth in 2021 to seventh with a score of 9.300 in the finals. Burke and Brain were just outside the top 10 as both finished with a finals score of 9.250, while Stadler earned a 9.200.

Renner had a more difficult time in her second balance beam performance, as she garnered a score of 8.650 to finish in the lower half of the standings in the event. A repeat of her score from the team competition would have put her in fifth place.

Burke’s last individual event finals performance was the uneven bars, which saw a great deal of higher scores than during the team competition. Burke’s 8.675 put her in the 14th position.

With Burke, Renner and Brain — all of whom she feels will be effective all-arounders — a return to health for the talented Richman and the potentional of impact freshmen joining the program as they often do, Sparrow feels good about next season.

“We’re extremely proud of the girls that got there and I think there are some of them that are really on the cusp of great things in the future,” Sparrow

said.

BOYS SOCCER Lotus School For Excellence again makes 2A state title game

Down by a goal at halftime of the Class 2A semifinals, the Lotus School for Excellence boys soccer team flipped an emotional switch Nov. 5.

Seeded sixth in the 16-team 2A postseason, the Meteors earned a second chance to win the state championship that eluded them last season when they dug in and rallied from a goal deficit to upset No. 2 Bishop Machebeuf 2-1 at All-City Stadium.

Coach Bennett Pang’s Lotus team got second half goals from junior Biruk Astatike and senior Abeneazer Getachew and survived some close calls from the Buffaloes in the closing minutes to earn a spot in the 2A state title game at 9 a.m. Nov. 12 at Switchbacks Weidner Field in Colorado Springs.

“I’m so proud of the the heart they showed,” Pang said. “A lot of it was winning the emotional battles. We talked about tactics and physically how we are feeling, but you could feel a shift in that game and we took advantage.”

The Meteors (14-4) had the possibility of a rematch with the Crested Butte team they lost to in last season’s final, but instead will face off with top-seeded Vail Mountain (13-4-1), which topped Crested Butte 5-3 in the other semifinal.

Lotus pushed early to take the lead, only to end up down a goal less than five minutes into the game when Bishop Machebeuf (16-2) — which came in on a 15-game winning streak and averaged nearly seven goals a game in the regular season and its first two playoff games — scored on a quick counter.

The game remained that way into the break and for the first 10-plus minutes of the second half, though the Meteors clearly had upped their level of intensity.

They got the fortune they needed in the 53rd minute, when Astatike came up with a great individual effort when he beat a defender 1-on-1 on the right wing and struck a ball at Bishop Machebeuf keeper Edward Trujillo, who got two hands on it, but it spun off them and between his legs in the goal to tie the game at 1-1.

Energized, the Meteors — whose attack includes junior midfielder Fredy Peraza, whose 38 goals rank second in 2A — kept pushing and scored again exactly nine minutes later.

Lotus got the ball in close with a lot of traffic in front of Trujillo when the ball came out to Getachew, who hit a rocket that glanced off the goalpost and redirected into the back of the net to break the tie.

Senior keeper Fernando Alcantar-Barajas will return to the nets in the state championship game for a second straight season after he and his defense kept Bishop Machebeuf’s prolific offense off the scoreboard for the last 76-plus minutes.

BOYS SOCCER Cherokee Trail stopped in 5A quarterfinals by No. 2 Denver East

The type of team that has presented the big challenge to the Cherokee Trail boys soccer team — a physical one with a direct style — stood between the Cougars and program history Nov. 5 at Randy Penn Stadium.

Coach Mark Hill’s seventh-seeded team had earned its way into the Class 5A quarterfinals for the second time in program history, but faced a tall challenge in No. 2 Denver East, a team with size throughout its lineup that goes right at its opponents.

The 16-1-1 Angels were able to set the tone with a set piece goal early in the contest and went on to a 5-0 victory that put them in-

part in the second round — had its season come to an end with a 13-5 record.

Two of the Cougars’ losses came to teams in the semifinals (which also includes a 2-1 loss to Valor Christian) and another came to rival Grandview, which was defeated by Denver East in the opening round.

Denver East got on the scoreboard first when forward Nathan Howard got his head on a initial header from a corner kick service and redirected it just past the outstretched arms of Cherokee Trail senior keeper Colin Starr into the back of the net.

The Cougars generated a prime chance to tie it several minutes later when sophomore Peter Eugenio Deras — who was tied with senior Amman Muzaffar for the team lead with eight goals, including three in the postseason — dribbled around outcoming Denver East keeper Liam Sloan, but his cross in front of an open goal was redicted out of bounds by a recovering Angels’ defender. Cherokee Trail never got a shot on the ensuing free kick.

Denver East leading scorer Gus Sundstrom doubled the lead when he finished a slip pass from teammate Tayler Secrest for a 2-0 lead at halftime.

The Angels added goals in the second half from Sundstrom, Ezekiel Lubin and Clayton Thomas.

The Grandview and Regis Jesuit football teams earned an off week in the opening round of the Class 5A state playoffs by virtue of top-eight seeds and swing into action in second round games Nov. 11.

The fourth-seeded Wolves — who closed out an 8-2 regular season with a 24-21 win over topranked Cherry Creek — will take the field at Legacy Stadium at 7 p.m. Friday against 20th-seeded Rocky Mountain. The Lobos achieved one of a few number of upsets in the opening round as they knocked off No. 13 Mountain Vista 20-13 in a game played Nov. 3 in a driving snowstorm.

Grandview hasn’t failed to make at least the second round of the playoffs since 2003 and coach Tom Doherty led the Wolves to a semifinal appearance last season.

FOOTBALL Cherokee Trail drops heartbreaker to Rock Canyon in 5A first round

The Cherokee Trail football team learned tremendous, often painful lessons during the 2022 season with an abundance of youth on the roster.

The sophomore-heavy Cougars experienced a bitter lesson Nov. 4 in the first round of the Class 5A state playoffs as they rallied late, but came up short in a 23-20 loss to Rock Canyon at EchoPark Stadium.

Sophomore quarterback Eliot Ming threw three touchdown passes — two to fellow sophomore Peyton Sommers and another to junior Peyton Castro — but the Jaguars picked up several key first downs to take the final six-plus minutes off clock and end the game.

Cherokee Trail was hurt by a call in the first half in which sophomore defensive back Daniel Wise intercepted a pass in the end zone and appeared to have open field ahead on a potential touchdown return. Officials blew the play dead, however, and award the ball to coach Justin Jajcyzk’s Cougars (4-7) on a touchback.

It was the only loss in the five alltime meetings between Cherokee Trail and Rock Canyon, as the Cougars had won regular season contests in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

FOOTBALL Eaglecrest falls in 1st round of 5A playoffs

The Eaglecrest football team ran into a team playing its best coming into the Class 5A state playoffs when it went on the road to play Fountain-Fort Carson Nov. 4.

The Raptors — far removed from last season’s 1-9 record — couldn’t quite keep pace with the Trojans in a 42-14 loss that ended their season at 7-4 in the return of Mike Schmitt as head coach.

Eaglecrest came into the game battling injuries and a Fountain-Fort Carson team with a variety of impact seniors and it added together into a playoff defeat.

Senior Diego Cearns broke free for two touchdown runs in the second quarter to account for the offense for the Raptors, who remain seeking their first postseason victory since 2019.

It was a different result than when the teams met in the 2017 state playoffs, when Eaglecrest won 35-14 over Fountain-Fort Carson and went on to advance all the way to the state title game,

INTERIM CONTROVERSY

Temporary police chief embroiled in new discipline issues similar to those the city continues to battle

BY SENTINEL STAFF WRITERS

Aurora’s interim police chief has altered two department oversight boards and unilaterally upended discipline of at least two officers amid demands for more police department transparency and accountability.

Reacting to part of the story, first reported by Channel 4 News Nov. 4, interim chief Dan Oates said, “As chief, it is my sole responsibility to decide what discipline is appropriate,” in a written statement to inquiries by Channel 4 investigative reporter Brian Maass. “I know how to hold cops accountable for misconduct. But when an internal affairs investigation does not prove misconduct, it is also my job to stand by that finding as well.”

The Sentinel contacted Aurora police for comment from Oates but this week the department had not responded.

On Nov. 4, the city posted a job opening for a new interim police chief, with a job application window of only three days.

City officials said over the weekend that Oates’ contract is in effect through Nov. 26, and that the posting allows for the city “keep every option open,” according to a state-

ment.

City records show Oates reversed internal decisions against a police commander rendered by two internal peer review boards of “behavior unbecoming an officer’’ and then promoted her to a top police department post. At about the same time, the interim police chief also halted the firing of a newly hired officer charged with disorderly, drunken behavior.

A spokesperson for Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser said they had “no comment on the story at this time.”

City officials provided documents in connection with the new-hire officer. But both Denver and Aurora police refused Colorado Open Records Act requests for internal investigation reports and Denver police reports connected to the police commander case.

Proponents for police reform in Aurora’s embattled police department were critical of news that Oates had recast the police department’s internal affairs unit and dissolved the Aurora Chief’s Review Board.

“That the police and city are dissolving things and doing a one-eighty on police reform doesn’t surprise me,” said Lindsay Minter, local reform activist and former Aurora Community Police Task Force member.

For the past three years, the embattled police department has been the subject of local and national scrutiny and headlines, accused of deep-rooted problems with accountability and transparency. The issues came to the forefront after the 2019 death of Elijah McClain and a string of disconcerting instances of abuse of power, especially involving people of color.

As a grand jury indicted a handful of police officers and firefighters in the death of McClain, the state’s attorney general created a seminal consent decree last year, mandating a host of reforms countering years of insular handling of police malfeasance.

Many of the reforms were spearheaded by former Police Chief Vanessa Wilson, who was sacked in April, creating con-

sternation among police reform advocates. Wilson’s unyielding demands for police accountability proved unpopular with police rank and file and some city lawmakers, allies of police unions.

City Manager Jim Twombly said Wilson was fired because of management deficiencies, not her police reform tactics.

She was replaced by former Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates to serve as interim chief, who oversaw APD from 2005-2014. Now retired after serving as chief for several years in Miami Beach, Florida, Oates returned to Aurora as a stopgap while the city searched for a new, permanent chief.

That process has been held up after two of three finalist candidates last month withdrew from the search, and the remaining candidate did not garner a majority of city council support.

For now, the hiatus leaves Oates in charge of a department accused of systemic racism, low morale, diminishing ranks and a lack of community trust among people of color.

Top police commander discipline halted by Oates

For the past few months, police officers and leaders have reported to The Sentinel anonymously and off the record that they were upset about Oates actions regarding police discipline.

“All of this is happening outside of the public purview at a time (when) the department is being accused of hiding how past chiefs ‘looked the other way’” for favored officers and not others, one high-ranking, veteran Aurora police officer said on the condition of anonymity, fearing retribution for being publicly critical.

That officer and two others were critical of Oates unilaterally changing the police oversight systems, without making the changes public, and also unilaterally overturning two recent cases of disciplining officers, including a prominent department commander.

According to documents

obtained by The Sentinel and sources knowledgeable of events, Oates on June 29, 2022 reversed a critical finding by the Chief’s Review Board. The board, composed of police department peers, found that Commander Cassidee Carlson had violated the department’s policy against conduct unbecoming of an officer.

Three days later, Oates promoted Carlson.

Police spokeswoman Faith Goodrich confirmed in July that Oates had dissolved the Chief’s Review Board, which, records show, occurred the day before the date of the Carlson finding.

Goodrich, writing in an email, said that Oates believed, “as the final decision maker in all discipline, the Chief of Police should be present and invested in all facets of the discipline process.”

The review board was created by former Chief Nick Metz several years ago amid criticism that the Aurora police department had become too insular and that police discipline cases

should undergo more scrutiny and oversight. The job of the board, composed of a variety of police officers, was to hear disciplinary cases from internal affairs and render review and judgment, of which the police chief could accept all, part or none.

Carlson, an APD veteran since 2003, became the subject of an internal affairs investigation earlier this year after she assisted another Aurora police officer, Detective Julie Stahnke, in an incident where Stahnke allegedly violated a restraining order protecting Stahnke’s estranged wife.

According to Denver Police records, Stahnke was charged with domestic violence after police were called to the Denver home of Stahnke and her estranged wife. Those charges were later dropped.

But Stahnke was arrested in the incident and jailed Nov. 22, 2021, according to Denver police.

Carlson picked Stahnke up from jail the next day and drove

her to her Denver home, according to three sources speaking to The Sentinel, citing information from the internal affairs file and all asking for anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the issue.

The Sentinel issued a Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act request for Carlson’s internal affairs investigation report on Oct. 5 but was refused. Police officials declined to provide the report, saying the matter was still under investigation.

Channel 4 reporter Brian Maass, who first reported the story about Carlson, extensively cites the APD internal affairs investigation in his reporting. Police spokesman Matthew Longshore said Friday that police had not provided “the entire internal investigation to anyone” and that the documents used by Channel 4 “were obtained otherwise.”

The Sentinel was able to confirm the Channel 4 story citations from three city and police officials who had access to and had read the report.

When Stahnke was released from jail for the initial domestic violence incident, she was issued a restraining order, prohibiting her from contacting her wife or being within 100 yards of their home, which was the site of the alleged domestic violence. Such orders are automatic and standard under the Colorado Revised Statutes.

Despite that, Carlson drove Stahnke to the Denver home so she could retrieve her vehicle.

Sentinel sources confirmed Channel 4 reports that Stahnke’s trip back to the Denver home allegedly violated the restraining order, and that Carlson was subsequently confronted with that by internal affairs investigators.

The next day, Stahnke and Carlson went back to the Denver home, went inside and removed items from the house. They then returned the items, according to Aurora Police internal affairs reports, Channel 4 reported and Sentinel sources confirmed.

It was the second time Stahnke allegedly violated the restraining order.

At the time, Carlson called a fellow Denver police officer she knew to provide what’s known as a “civil assist,” where a law enforcement official observes an interaction involving parties to a restraining order, according to Channel 4’s account of the IA file, confirmed by Sentinel sources.

When confronted about abetting Stahnke in violating the restraining order, Carlson told Aurora police investigators she did not know about the order, despite arranging for a civil assist, Channel 4 reported from the Internal Affairs file and Sentinel sources confirmed.

Later on in the Internal Affairs investigation, it was revealed that the police officer called by Carlson was her cousin, who subsequently faced re-

view for his actions in the event, according to Channel 4 reports and Sentinel sources.

Investigating officers were critical of Carlson for withholding that information, which Carlson said was inadvertent, sources and Channel 4 reports say.

Stahnke is scheduled for a Nov. 11 trial on charges against her for violating the protective order last year.

On Oct. 6, The Sentinel requested the Denver Police report of the details leading to Stahnke’s trial and Carlson’s involvement. Denver City attorney officials prosecuting the case refused, citing fair trial concerns about pretrial publicity in the case.

Internal affairs investigators confronted Carlson about conflicting stories she told regarding when she knew Stahnke was violating the restraining order and why Carlson previously told investigators she was unaware of such an order.

Carlson told investigators that even after being made aware of the order, she was unaware of the order’s details, according to Channel 4 reporting and confirmed by Sentinel sources.

Carlson told investigators she did not intentionally omit information about the restraining order or that the officer she called upon for a civil assist was her cousin, Channel 4 reported from the Internal Affairs file.

Despite that, Internal Affairs members found that Carlson’s part in helping Stahnke endangered her credibility as a police officer and a top-level of-

ficial, according to Channel 4 reporting, confirmed by Sentinel sources.

In addition, the IA board found that Carlson was deceptive about the details of the case, and violated the department’s policy against behavior unbecoming an officer.

The Chief’s Review Board, composed of top-level police officials, ruled, however, that Carlson had not been deceitful about the details of the case, but the board did find that she was guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer.

Current and former police officials say such a disciplinary finding would be cause for demotion or even dismissal.

Despite both entities finding against Carlson, Oates reversed the rulings in both cases.

“I reject the recommendation of the (Chief’s Review Board) and deem that the charge of behavior unbecoming is NOT SUSTAINED,” Oates wrote in a June 29 memorandum, provided by police.

Three days later, Oates promoted Carlson from commander to top-level division chief, supervising all of patrol.

Oates reversed the firing of a new hire arrested out of state

When he was first brought on board as interim chief in spring, Oates said he was “not coming in with an agenda to change the discipline process.” During an April press conference, he said he was committed to respecting accountability measures and

said that disciplinary actions should be handled transparently.

“The way I think an ideal police department should operate is that the chief decides what’s appropriate discipline in a transparent way, for the cops and for the community, and if the community and the elected officials are unhappy with those decisions, then you get rid of the chief,” he said at the time.

This summer, Oates made the decision to terminate and then suspend the termination of probationary APD officer Zachary O’Neill, according to APD documents obtained by The Sentinel through an open records request. The termination and suspension documents were written and signed on the same day, and it’s unclear whether O’Neill’s termination ever formally took effect.

In response to an Oct. 5 inquiry from The Sentinel, an APD spokesperson said that Oates had not modified any disciplinary penalties imposed on officers accused of misconduct during or prior to his most recent tenure as chief.

A disciplinary order written by Oates dated July 25 states that in May, O’Neill was arrested in Mena, Arkansas by officers from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in connection to a family altercation.

“Deputies were dispatched to Officer O’Neill’s location in reference to a verbal family dispute,” the order said. “Upon contact, deputies observed that Officer O’Neill was staggering, had slurred speech, watery bloodshot eyes and the odor of intoxicants was emitting from his

person. Prior to Officer O’Neill’s arrest, PCSO deputies attempted to assist him by taking him to a hotel, but he later became argumentative and hostile toward the deputies, to include the Polk County Sheriff who also responded. While in jail, Officer O’Neill was uncooperative and disruptive.”

Online court documents from Arkansas show that O’Neill was given misdemeanor citations for public intoxication and disorderly conduct in Mena on May 6. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office denied a Sentinel request for the arrest affidavit, with a department secretary saying that the sheriff had told her she was not able to release any information about the case.

Arkansas court records show that in July, a plea and arraignment hearing for O’Neill was continued for six months until Jan. 10, 2023.

The disciplinary order from Oates goes on to say that based on O’Neill’s behavior, his employment is terminated, and that because he is on probationary status he does not have the ability to appeal the decision. The order was written July 25 and signed by Oates, O’Neill, Deputy City Manager Jason Batchelor and a member of the City Attorney’s Office Aug. 3.

In an addendum to the order, also dated July 25 and signed Aug. 3, Oates said that he is deferring O’Neill’s firing, and that as long as O’Neill is not found guilty or does not plead guilty and follows certain conditions during a probationary period he

will not be fired.

The addendum said that the prosecuting attorney in O’Neill’s case has agreed to dismiss the case in January if there are no new charges during the sixmonth continuation period.

That, along with other mitigating factors, including that O’Neill had no prior criminal or disciplinary history, and that the charges stemmed from “an emotionally volatile family situation,” led Oates to defer disciplinary action, he said.

To avoid being fired, O’Neill must not plead guilty or be found guilty in the criminal case and must check in with the APD Wellness Unit at least every two weeks for six months. He also may be immediately fired if he violates any City of Aurora or police department policies during the deferral period, which will last until the beginning of 2025.

The alteration is an about face from policy made public by former Chief Vanessa Wilson, who said during press events that she made clear to all police officers that if they are arrested, they would be fired.

Aurora Police and former Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz were heavily criticized for overlooking a 2018 incident where a police officer passed out drunk inside his police cruiser, prompting promises of more transparency and accountability within the department.

Wilson was repeatedly criticized by Aurora police union members for her zero-tolerance of Aurora officers running afoul of the law. She was heavily criticized for dismissing a veteran police officer who showed up to work intoxicated.

“Since my appointment as interim chief, and now as the newly appointed chief of police, I have pledged to hold my officers accountable for their actions,” Wilson said in a statement in 2020. “Being transparent regarding issues of officer misconduct is paramount for rebuilding trust and legitimacy with our community.

Oates returned to Aurora because of police controversy

Oates was tapped to serve as interim police chief in April after former chief Vanessa Wilson was fired by city manager Jim Twombly in a controversial move that many alleged was politically-motivated.

In a notice dated Sept. 27 that was sent to city and police officials, lawyers for Wilson said they planned to sue the city, alleging that her termination was a violation of her civil rights and part of a “conspiracy” by officials to force her out.

Wilson’s lawyers accused council members Danielle Jurinsky and Dustin Zvonek as well

as former Aurora Police Association president Doug Wilkinson in particular of pressuring Twombly to fire Wilson for her efforts to reform the department and address the problem of racially discriminatory policing.

They also said the city retaliated against Wilson after she was fired by refusing to let her keep her badges, which “officers in good standing are routinely allowed to keep,” and refused to issue her a Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act card, which would have allowed her to carry a concealed weapon.

Oates’ interim stint began at the end of May and his contract stipulated that he will serve for six months while the city searched for a replacement for Wilson, and that he would not apply for the permanent position. After a failed hiring search, the city has yet to select a new police chief and the six-month period will expire later in November.

The Aurora Police Department was placed under a consent decree by the Colorado Attorney General’s office last year after an investigation found that police were using force disproportionately against residents of color and paramedics had been administering sedatives inappropriately.

The investigation came on the heels of several high-profile incidents that sparked widespread protests and drew national attention to APD, including the 2019 death of Elijah McClain and a 2020 incident where several young Black girls were forced to lie face down on hot pavement during an erroneous traffic stop.

The decree requires the department to commit to a series of reforms over the next several years, including monitoring and changing use-of-force policies,

hiring more police officers and firefighters of color and creating new policies for the use of chemical sedatives by paramedics.

IntegrAssure, the firm selected by the City of Aurora to oversee the implementation of the consent decree, published its first report on the city’s progress in August, which stated that so far nine of the consent decree mandates have been met.

As of Saturday, it was unclear who would assume control of the police department in the after Nov. 26, when Oates’ contract expires. The window for applications is only from Nov. 4 through Nov. 7.

“Chief Oates continues to successfully lead the department and serve as the interim chief,” Aurora Communications Director Kim Stuart said in a statement. “After coming out of retirement to serve Aurora, he has achieved a sense of stability in the department and brought a renewed focus on crime reduction, community engagement and internal leadership in line with the consent decree and city priorities.”

Stuart said the interim chief’s job was posted on Friday to comply with employment laws, requiring postings for any position that exceeds six months.

“Chief Oates has agreed to extend his service as the interim chief here, as needed,” Stuart said.

City officials have not announced whether Oates will be retained past Nov. 26, or whether a new candidate will be considered.

The position posted pays between $192,000.00 –$250,000.00 annually.

City officials said that it has no immediate prospects for a permanent police chief.

“Despite the exhaustive efforts of the city management

team and the city’s seasoned police executive recruitment firm, we have been increasingly challenged in recruiting qualified police chief applicants,” Stuart said. “We have not received any formal applications since we announced the extension of the search for a permanent chief on Oct. 4.”

She said the city and recruitment firm continue to target and have “conversations with potential candidates around the country,” Stuart said.

“The city is considering all possibilities to determine the best candidate to lead the department, focus on crime reduction and continue the important public safety changes already underway,” Stuart said.

Community demands for accountability

Community activist Lindsay Minter, who sat on the Aurora Community Police Task Force before it was dissolved earlier this year, said the allegations against Oates and city officials for quietly reversing police discipline and eliminating police oversight were disheartening.

“When it comes down to it, this is about police investigating the police. And it’s all we have. If (Oates) decides he can overrule even that, what’s the point of the consent decree?”

Looking for guidance on police reform and training, the city created a Community Police Task Force during the turbulent protests in 2020 protesting the 2019 death of Elijah McClain.

City officials suddenly dissolved that task force earlier this year, drawing fierce criticism from local activists and leaders of communities of color.

Minter this week said she

was most concerned about Oates dissolving the Chief’s Review Board, outside of public scrutiny.

She said the changes not only create distrust in the community but also cause morale problems in the department among officers who work hard every day to treat people they encounter with respect especially when they encounter “people at their worst.”

Aurora NAACP President Omar Montgomery said he was surprised that Oates would dissolve the Chief’s Review Board without consulting the attorney general’s team or others scrutinizing the city’s police reform and accountability process.

He said the news about Oates acting unilaterally on discipline, on top of removing a mechanism of accountability, without acknowledgement from parties of the attorney general’s consent decree, underscores the need for an independent monitor in the city, which Aurora City Council members just last week voted to defund.

Montgomery said that position would be able to navigate controversies like this and offer the public credible and objective opinions on whether discipline reversals or terminated boards are warranted.

“We’re trying to get the city to stop creating situations like this that bring bad publicity about our police department,” Montgomery said. “If it’s true that (Oates) dissolved the Chief’s Review Board, they should reinstate it and press for an independent monitor to decide whether dissolving it was called for.”

He said the Aurora NAACP will continue to monitor how the city moves through the consent decree process, but “it’s imperative now that the city fund the independent monitor.”

SERVING OPPORTUNITY

NEW AURORA ICE CREAM SHOP OFFERS HOMEMADE SCOOPS AND JOBS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

In January, Troy Knuckles was at a crossroads.

A longtime member of the telecommunications industry, Knuckles was burned out on corporate America and looking to do something different with his life. His youngest son had just graduated from college, and he felt like he had fulfilled the most important professional and personal obligations of his life.

“I felt it was time to do what God wanted me to do with the rest of my life,” he told TheSentinel.

BY CARINA JULIG, Sentinel Staff Writer

But he wasn’t quite sure what that was yet. One night he sat down in front of the TV and an ABC News story was airing about Howdy Homemade Ice Cream, an ice cream store franchise that hires people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

“And I said, ‘that’s it!’” Knuckles recalled. He applied for and received the franchise rights for Colorado, beating out many other applicants who had also applied after seeing the program.

About seven months later, the store held its grand opening and has been serving customers for the past three weeks out of a store at 6340 S. Parker Road.

The Dallas-based company has seven other locations, primarily in Texas. This is the first Colorado store but Knuckles, who owns the franchise for the greater Denver and Colorado Springs metro areas, says he hopes to open more soon and is exploring launching a location in Colorado Springs sometime next year. He’s also received a contract with the U.S. Air Force Academy to sell ice cream during sporting events.

Howdy sells ice cream, milkshakes and candy

along with merch like T-shirts. The store orders a base from a dairy and the ice cream is made on site, along with waffle cones. The store has 16 flavors of ice cream; eight are permanent and standard at all Howdy locations, the others are decided locally and served on a rotating basis. Currently the Aurora location is offering up a pumpkin spice latte flavor for those wanting to get in the fall spirit.

Though Knuckles touted the quality of Howdy’s ice cream, he said the main goal of the business is to provide jobs to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs).

Knuckles’ son, Kayle Knuckles, is the store’s general manager and works day to day with the store’s employees, who are primarily people with Down’s Syndrome or who are on the autism spectrum.

“They’re amazing,” he said of the store’s employees, who are referred to as “heroes” in the company’s nomenclature. “They love to work, love their job and they brighten my day every day.”

Ben Kim applied to work at Howdy after his mom saw something about the store online. After coming in for an interview he was hired on the spot and started working on opening day.

“I’m loving it so far,” he said of working at Howdy. He told The Sentinel his favorite parts of the job are making milkshakes and interacting with customers and recommended “cookie nomster” and “birthday cake” as the store’s best ice cream flavors.

Ice cream scoopers at Howdy make the Colorado minimum wage, which is currently $12.56, and shift managers earn slightly more. The store has 11 employees, and there is currently a waiting

list of people interested in working there, Kayle said. He said the company was “flooded” with job applications and the amount of interest they received shows the need for more opportunities for people with IDDs.

People with IDDs are unemployed at significantly greater rates than the general population. According to a report commissioned by the Special Olympics, fewer than half of working-age people with intellectual disabilities were employed, a rate over twice as high as the national average.

The American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities said that this is driven by a lack of support and employer interest, and not the ability or interest of people with IDDs in having meaningful employment.

“Historically, the majority of people with IDD have been either unemployed or underemployed despite their ability, desire, and willingness to work in the community,” the Association said in a statement on its website.

Part of Howdy’s mission is to show that people with disabilities can excel in a for-profit business environment, Kayle said.

“They’re capable of a lot, for sure,” he said.

Troy Knuckles said that many of the employees are dropped off to work by their families, who are reassured by knowing that they are working in a supportive environment where people are looking out for them. He said business has been good so far in the several weeks the store has been open, and he hopes that the word will spread about Howdy so that they can expand and hire more people.

“We make amazing ice cream but that’s what this is really about,” he said.

Ben Kim, one of the heroes of Howdy Handmade Ice Cream, scoops one of the 16 rotating flavors for some customers, Nov. 2, at the newly opened ice cream shop.

It’s not a she shed or a man cave. More of a “me space.” In a home full of family members or roommates, there are times we want to be by ourselves. With the rise of work-fromhome and remote learning, more people are

leviates stress — a “refuge,” however small, where they can unwind and rejuvenate, according to the American Society of Interior Designers’ 2022 Trends Report.

So how do you create this little den of privacy? First, think about what you want to do there, says Monique Valeris, senior home editor at Good Housekeeping.

The ‘Me Space’

BY KIM COOK, Associated Press

asking designers for help creating refuge spaces at home for resting and rejuvenating. It might be a little nook beside a stairway. Maybe a feature wall with a nice window or different wallpaper. Even deep inside a roomy closet. Some designers suggest installing glass doors in a room to partition off part of it.

It’s not a “she shed” or a “man cave.” More of a “me space.”

It might be a little nook beside a stairway. Or along a wall with a nice window. An enclosed balcony. A basement alcove. Even deep inside a roomy closet.

In a home full of roommates or family members, there are times when we want to be by ourselves. A good walk is restorative, but if the weather’s bad or you don’t want to put shoes on, it’s nice to have a little place at home we can call our own.

After the rise of work-from-home and remote learning, interior design experts see a shift: While homeowners still like open-concept living spaces for some parts of the home, they also are asking for private spaces and a way to compartmentalize their personal lives, away from their working ones.

Parents, caregivers and pressed careerists want somewhere at home that al -

“Maybe you’d like a meditation room that’s set up with a great floor cushion or hanging chair,” she says. “A quiet reading nook in a hallway, with a storage bench. Or a space designed around one of your hobbies. Think about your lifestyle and the activities that bring you joy and a sense of calm at home.”

During a conversation with a client who’s a professional writer, Los Angeles designer Anne Sage says she asked what the woman’s dream home office looked like.

“She told me she’d love the option to step away from her desk and read, recharge, take a nap, let ideas percolate.”

Sage created a bookshelf-filled space, and enveloped the walls and sofa in a textural stripe upholstery fabric.

“The whole room feels like a very chic and comfortable hug, one where my client can be productive and creative at her own pace,” she says.

For a cat-loving client, designer Anna Popov in Redmond, Washington, created a “me and the pets” space. A spare bedroom became a reading room for the humans, and Popov installed climbing shelves and several cubbies for the feline ones. She says the space is now referred to as the “everybody wants to be a cat” room.

Amy Azzarito, author of “Elements of

a Home: Curious Histories Behind Everyday Household Objects” (Chronicle Books, March 2020), bought a house in Marin County, California, in 2018 that had a generous bedroom and a tiny closet — “more of a step-in than a walk-in.”

She didn’t want to do any renovation work, so instead she worked with designers from California Closets to decorate and build out a small, windowed pass-through to the closet. They created a built-in dresser and hanging area, then wraparound seating with roomy drawers. With a calm palette of blush-toned neutrals, it also has a pendant light made of wood beads, and a framed artwork that says “AH.”

Another option: Create a glassed-in space. Sliding doors installed in a room can section off part of it. Or, to delineate a personal area more simply and affordably, consider creating a feature wall with wallpaper or murals, or a different color paint.

Find your comfiest toss pillow and softest throw, and add warm ambient lighting and perhaps some aromatherapy with a diffuser or scented candle.

If nature is your de-stressor, add collected rocks, shells or greenery.

Some people prefer silence, but if music soothes you, bring in a wireless player or even a turntable.

Finally, if there’s no other room for a little refuge, the bathroom can become the ultimate “me space.”

There are waterproof, wireless, voice-activated speakers in the bathroom marketplace. Or for a really immersive bath experience, there are shower installations available with a rainshower head, LCD touchscreens, pre-programmed sound and light, and visuals like waterfalls, sunsets — even a crackling fireplace.

FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION City of Aurora, Colorado

Docket No. CD23-1-000

NOTICE OF PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF A QUALIFYING CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY AND SOLICITING COMMENTS AND MOTIONS TO INTERVENE

(October 6, 2022)

On October 3, 2022, the City of Aurora, Colorado, filed a notice of intent to construct a qualifying conduit hydropower facility, pursuant to section 30 of the Federal Power Act (FPA). The proposed Gun Club Hydroelectric Energy Recovery Project would have an installed capacity of 56 kilowatts (kW), and would be located along a municipal water supply pipeline in Aurora, Arapahoe County, Colorado.

Applicant Contact: Gregg Semler, InPipe Energy, 920 SW 6th Ave., 12th Floor, Portland, OR 97204, 503-341-0004, gregg@ inpipeenergy.com .

FERC Contact: Christopher Chaney, 202502-6778, christopher.chaney@ferc.gov.

Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility

Description: The project would consist of: (1) a 56-kW turbine generating unit within an existing 15-foot by 32-foot vault, (2) intake and discharge pipes connecting to the existing water supply line, and (3) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would have an estimated annual generation of approximately 255,000 kilowatt-hours.

A qualifying conduit hydropower facility is one that is determined or deemed to meet all the criteria shown in the table below.

Table 1: Criteria for Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility (Y/N) FPA 30(a)(3)(A) The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or similar manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water for agricultural, municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity. Y FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(i)

The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric power and uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit.

Y FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(ii) The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 40

megawatts. Y FPA 30(a)(3)(C)(iii) On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.

Preliminary Determination: The proposed Gun Club Hydroelectric Energy Recovery Project will not alter the primary purpose of the conduit, which is to transport water for municipal consumption. Therefore, based upon the above criteria, Commission staff preliminarily determines that the operation of the project described above satisfies the requirements for a qualifying conduit hydropower facility, which is not required to be licensed or exempted from licensing.

Comments and Motions to Intervene: Deadline for filing comments contesting whether the facility meets the qualifying criteria is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice.

Deadline for filing motions to intervene is 30 days from the issuance date of this notice.

Anyone may submit comments or a motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.210 and 385.214. Any motions to intervene must be received on or before the specified deadline date for the particular proceeding.

Filing and Service of Responsive Docu-

ments: All filings must (1) bear in all capital letters the “COMMENTS CONTESTING QUALIFICATION FOR A CONDUIT HYDROPOWER FACILITY” or “MOTION TO INTERVENE,” as applicable; (2) state in the heading the name of the applicant and the project number of the application to which the filing responds; (3) state the name, address, and telephone number of the person filing; and (4) otherwise comply with the requirements of sections 385.2001 through 385.2005 of the Commission’s regulations. All comments contesting Commission staff’s preliminary determination that the facility meets the qualifying criteria must set forth their evidentiary basis.

The Commission strongly encourages electronic filing. Please file motions to intervene and comments using the Commission’s eFiling system at http://www.ferc. gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit brief comments up to 6,000 characters, without prior registration, using the eComment system at http://www. ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp.
