Charging cops with their crimes offers Colorado reformers a glimmer of hope

DAVE PERRY Editor
id you feel that? If you’re among those of us who’ve been swimming against tidal waves of news about police mistreating people they encounter — especially Black people, and, mostly, Black men and boys — you had to feel the earth shake more than once over the last couple of weeks. Here in Aurora, the Sentinel has for years diligently revealed case after case of Aurora police using not just excessive brutal force against some people they encounter, but cynical, grim, deadly force. Of course there’s a caveat, and it’s an important one. The entire Aurora Police department isn’t filled with hordes of corrupt bullies. After years of watching — and watching — I’m confident in passing along that the vast majority of Aurora law enforcers are dedicated and passionate professionals, who work hard at not only doing the right thing but even knowing the right thing. But I can equally attest, having waded deep into the quagmire of the Aurora Police Department for decades, that there are too many sick and sadistic bullies carrying guns and badges. Among the ranks are racists, bullies and people wholly unsuited to enforce the law. While these sadistic and corrupt bullies truly are few in the department of nearly 700 officers, there’s another community of officers inadvertently equally as dangerous. There are certainly dozens of Aurora police officers who intentionally or subconsciously look the other way, or outright refuse to acknowledge and stop, on-duty excessive acts of force, acts of unprofessionalism or daunting acts of racism. Some officers purposefully ignore illegal or inappropriate stunts among their peers. Most are not confident or courageous enough to step in and stop these wrongs, or even report them. The first tremors that rattled Aurora and police departments all over the state hit three years ago when state lawmakers, astonishingly, passed a bevy of laws meant to radically change policing. These laws were, in a large part, fallout from the killing of Elijah McClain by Aurora police and fire department medics. The new laws no longer offer police statutory, blanket immunity for anything they do because it was just “in the line of duty.” Another law makes it illegal for police to stand by and watch another officer abuse a subject or criminally attack them. An Aurora police officer was among the first in Colorado tripped up by the law by passively standing by as her police partner pistol whipped and savagely beat a young man he was attempting to arrest for hanging out on an apartment complex median without permission. There has been a steady drum of vibrations and tremors over the past couple of years as police officers in Aurora and elsewhere were unhired or adjudicated for what are clearly crimes against the public by police. There was another jolt last week when a federal appeals court agreed that Aurora is possibly liable for damages after the city’s

Attorneys Qusair Mohamedbhai, left and Siddhartha Rathod take questions during an emotional news conference in Denver on Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022. They were calling for accountability after police shot and killed 22-year-old Christian Glass after he called 911 for roadside assistance in the Colorado mountain town of Silver Plume in June. Glass’ parents say their son was having a mental health episode, and police needlessly escalated the situation. (AP FILE Photo/Thomas Peipert)
officers used excessive force in trying to quell anti-police-brutality protesters in Denver, after Aurora cops were urgently called in to help in 2020. Not even five years ago it would have been unheard of for police to be subjected to that level of accountability by anyone, especially the courts. But the biggest temblor so far came earlier this month when the district attorney for Clear Creek County stepped forward and charged six sheriff deputies for having failed to step in and stop the cruel and deadly abuse of Christian Glass, a young man in a mental crisis who called police for help, stuck in his car outside of Georgetown. These aren’t the cops who actually pulled out a gun and ruthlessly shot Glass dead as he struggled with a panic attack, essentially created by a botched police response to his call for help. That officer, Andrew Buen, has been indicted by a grand jury and has pleaded not guilty to charges of second-degree murder for firing his gun into Glass’ car and killing him. Rather, 5th Judicial District Attorney Heidi McCollum recognized that under state law, and under the weight of common decency, the six officers that stood by and watched Buen aggravate and escalate the situation with Gass violated the new state law. That law says officers must intervene, and certainly not participate, in episodes where fellow officers beat, abuse, maim or aggravate people they come in contact with. It was nothing short of a stunning achievement for people like Sheneen McClain, whose own son, Elijah, was a textbook example of police abuse. Elijah was the reason for, rather than a beneficiary of, these new state laws. For a district attorney in a historically conservative district to step up and invoke a law that few thought could ever even exist
is staggering. “Law enforcement officers must be held accountable for their actions when performing their trusted public service duties,” McCollum said. Local attorney Qusair Mohamedbhai said he, too, was astounded by the announcement. He’s stood in court for years now, alongside victims of police in Aurora and across the state, trying to push the vast weight of officer accountability up the steep mountain of police, court and public resistance. “Stunning,” he said as news traveled that the state’s criminal justice system has now evolved to accept that the abuse some police inflict on the public, is, indeed, a crime. It doesn’t mean that people of color, and especially Black men, can now relish the fact that they will always be treated just like white people when they encounter any police officer. Aurora police, however, spend a huge amount of time and resources implementing police reform, mostly through training, and some through attrition. Just recently Aurora firefighters trained their ranks how to “de-escalate” unnerving and potentially dangerous encounters with people in crisis. No, we’re not there yet. Two of three officers who clearly played a role in the death of McClain were acquitted of even a misdemeanor. One Aurora officer, Nathan Woodyard, who provoked Elijah into a deadly choking and overdose debacle, has even come back to the Aurora police department, for now. But as the aftershock of these striking changes play out, there is, maybe for the first time ever, real hope.

Tired of TABOR — taxpayer ‘rights’ measure inflicts endless wrongs
T
he absurdity of the state’s taxation quagmire is well-illustrated by a quintessentially Colorado juxtaposition. Property owners face skyrocketing property tax bills, and at the same time they are expecting fat state tax rebates. Welcome to Colorado’s TABOR nightmare. The bad dream actually started in 1992. That’s when southern California transplant Douglas Bruce pushed the so-called Taxpayer Bill of Rights onto the ballot, and voters foolishly took the bait. As sold, TABOR allows only voters — not elected officials — to approve pretty much all tax increases, putting the “power of the purse” in the hands of residents, not lawmakers. While that may sound empowering and wise, it upends the very nature of representative government and good sense. It leans on the foolish reality that nobody likes to pay more taxes, so let’s not. All this boiled over again this week at the state Capitol, as legislators wrangled property tax cuts and more in a rare special session. The problem is, it’s led to Colorado’s notoriously abysmal roads, desperately underfunded schools and a state patrol so thin that metro-area highway traffic has become just a barbaric lawless speedway. As we have frequently pointed out, after more than two decades of 49 other states kicking the tires on enacting their own TABOR, not one other single state — including Texas, Mississippi or any other conservative stronghold — has even attempted to adopt it. It’s that bad of an idea, and Colorado is stuck with it. All residents have to do to see how effective TABOR has been at depressing road maintenance, classroom size-reduction and addressing the state’s myriad challenges, is look around. Has it saved Colorado taxpayers money? No. Colorado was in the middle of overall tax-burden among all states before TABOR was inflicted on the state, and it’s right in the middle of the list of states right now, according to a variety of tax-watch lists. We’re No. 24. The most recent problem inflicted by TABOR was how to dial back spiraling property taxes. Because properties are taxed on the value of homes and businesses, rising values means rising tax bills, netting rising tax receipts for the state. So the current system allows the government to take money out of one of your pockets, and then TABOR makes the government put money back in your other pocket. The morass is made even more complicated and unwieldy because not all governments are alike under the thumb of TABOR. Some governments can keep some or all “excess” revenue, which is any amount of tax revenue collected over what was collected the previous year. Some governments and school districts have had voters impose a workaround to that by “de-Brucing” the local government’s cap on revenues. The endless mix of governments living under different TABOR spending plans compelled state Democrats and Gov. Jared Polis to ask voters to approve an equally complex and convoluted Proposition HH to lower property taxes and preserve government budgets. Unable to easily explain the complicated bill, it quickly fell from voter favor as conservatives attacked it, saying it was intended to rob taxpayers of their rightful TABOR refunds. So, this week, state lawmakers took most of Proposition HH and passed it as law. Unclear is whether some school districts, counties, cities and special districts will further reduce property tax levies on residents, if they can, or if they might even force taxpayers to pony up even more, above the state’s allowable take, under TABOR. State experts predict that taxes on “average” homes of $500,000 will see a savings of about $200 or so, working out to about $17 a month. It almost certainly won’t be enough to completely offset a property tax increase twice that much, or more, imposed by rising property values. And as the state’s tax system, cemented in place by TABOR, collects more taxes, it also sends “excess” tax revenues back in the form of TABOR “refund checks,” estimated to be about $800 for every taxpayer next year. If all this sounds hopelessly confusing, it is. The bottom line, however, is that taxes are no lower in Colorado than they are in half of the states. You don’t have to look far to see how badly the state needs tax revenue for cops, road repair and endless other critical services. And it takes a special session of the Legislature to try and figure out a way to save taxpayers money without shutting down the government. If there is one ballot measure Colorado would do well to put before taxpayers, it would be the option to rid the state of a nuisance so pernicious that even states run by the most right-wing of conservative extremists and tax-protesters would never touch it.
YOUR LETTERS
An easy answer to Colorado’s tax property tax quandary EDITOR: Assessed actual home value is not the only factor in determining what your property tax bill will be. There are three factors 1) Actual home value. 2) The assessed value factor (this is a percentage of the actual property value and is different for residential, commercial, agricultural and vacant land. And 3) The Mill Levies. We will focus on residential. Ultimately, it is the mill levies that results in the final determination of what a homeowner’s tax bill will be. First a county needs to determine how much revenue is needed to cover its expenses for the upcoming year. Then it determines what the mill levy should be in order to generate the needed funds to cover those expenses. Mill levies vary year to year based on the needed revenue calculations. Here is an example: Let’s say that Arapahoe County projects that they will need 5% more funds for the upcoming year then they need for the current year. Let’s also say that the as-
sessed “actual” home values across the board have risen by 50% (that is what is scaring everyone). Now to the mill levy. Suppose last year they generated enough funds for the year by using a mill levy of 1.50 mills (not actual figure just used as an example). So now with the 50% higher assessed property values they could reduce the levy for 2024 to 1.00 mills, and this would generate the same amount of funds as last year. But since they will be needing a 5% increase in funds because the county’s projected costs have risen, they would just set the mill levy at 1.05 mills and that will bring in the needed funds to cover their projected 2024 expenses. And the property owners tax bills would just be 5% higher for 2024 not 50% higher. Pretty simple. There is no reason why the Colorado counties should incur a windfall in tax revenue. They really only need to bring in enough funds to pay the upcoming bills. — John C. Fraioli, Aurora

ACQUITTED AURORA COP WHO CHOKED ELIJAH MCCLAIN WILL RETURN TO POLICE DEPARTMENT
Police Officer Nathan Woodyard attends an arraignment hearing after being charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, Jan. 20, 2023, at the Adams County Justice Center in Brighton, Colo.

A
u rora police officer Nathan Woodyard will return to his job after being acquitted for his role in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, who Woodyard placed in a chokehold, the city announced Nov. 27. Woodyard has been on unpaid leave since he was indicted in September 2021 on multiple felony charges in connection with the 23-yearold’s death. A jury found Woodyard not guilty of manslaughter and criminally-negligent homicide earlier this month, making him eligible to return to work. “(Woodyard) has elected to reintegrate with the APD and is currently on restricted duty (not in uniform, no public contact, and no enforcement actions) pending next steps in the reintegration process,” city spokesperson Ryan Luby said in an email. “As we have shared publicly numerous times previously, the city is bound by the relevant city charter language.” The city charter says in part that a police officer who is indicted for a felony should be suspended without pay but that “such suspension shall be terminated by restoration to the service or by discharge as soon as the decision
BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer
of the court becomes final.” Luby said the city had to reinstate Woodyard to comply with the charter, describing the process as “automatic” following the cop’s acquittal. Luby wrote that Woodyard will be expected to complete a period of “reintegration” for an undetermined length of time, during which he will be trained on policies that have changed since he was placed on leave. “Upon successful completion of the reintegration process and after accounting for any other circumstances that may arise, Mr. Woodyard would be eligible for reassignment to a position within the department at the chief’s discretion,” Luby wrote. He said Woodyard will also receive $212,546.04 in back pay. Interim police chief Art Acevedo said Monday night that it would be “premature” to talk about what assignment Woodyard might be given but that it was unlikely the officer would return to patrol duties. “I don’t think it’ll happen while I’m here,” Acevedo said. “He won’t be on patrol.” He also said that Woodyard is still on leave and that he didn’t yet know if Woodyard would choose to go through the reintegration process.
When asked what he would say to residents concerned about Woodyard returning to the police force, Acevedo said Aurora is bound by the personnel rules described in the charter. “Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should, but at the end of the day, we do have a nation where the rule of law matters, and if he was found by a jury to not be guilty of a crime, and the city charter requires that he be reinstated, I think we’re either all-in with the rule of law or we’re not, regardless of how we personally feel. But, having said that, just because you can doesn’t mean you should,” Acevedo said. Of the two other Aurora police officers charged in McClain’s death, Randy Roedema was found guilty of a felony in October, making him ineligible to work as a police officer. Jason Rosenblatt was fired in 2020 for replying “ha ha” in a text message to pictures of police officers re-enacting the chokehold that was performed on McClain. Luby said the city’s civil service rules require that a former employee must have left in “good standing” to be rehired and said “the department and city do not extend employment offers to people who have been terminated from employment here previously.”

Final trial over Elijah McClain’s death in Aurora spotlights role of rescuers
The final trial over the 2019 death of Elijah McClain after he was stopped by Aurora police is expected to delve into largely uncharted legal territory, with paramedics, not officers, being prosecuted this time. Starting Nov. 27, jurors will be chosen to decide if the paramedics committed a crime when they
gave the 23-year-old Black man an overdose of the powerful sedative ketamine after he was forcibly restrained by police. The 23-year-old Black man went into cardiac arrest on his way to the hospital and was pronounced dead three days later. Initially no one was charged be-

cause the coroner’s office could not determine exactly how McClain died. But in 2021, social justice protests over the 2020 murder of George Floyd drew renewed attention to McClain’s case, prompting an indictment against the paramedics and three officers. “What we saw three years ago, that put a huge spotlight on the police profession,” University of Miami criminologist Alex Piquero said, adding that the McClain case “has the potential to do that for paramedics and first responders.” Aurora Fire Department paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Lt. Peter Cichuniec have pleaded not guilty. Defense attorneys at a November court hearing indicated they plan to blame police for McClain’s death during a trial expected to last most of December. The defense attorneys did not return telephone calls or emails seeking comment on the charges the men face. The case will be the first of several recent criminal charges against medical first responders to reach trial and could “set the bar” for prosecutors in future cases, said Douglas Wolfberg, a former emergency medicine instructor and founding partner of a Pennsylvania law firm representing emergency medical services workers. “Society’s thinking about these things has changed and evolved, especially since George Floyd,” Wolfberg said. “Obviously there are political considerations. That’s not to deny Mr. McClain’s family the justice they are seeking.”
Cases pending elsewhere include paramedics in Illinois facing first-degree murder charges after a patient they strapped facedown to a stretcher suffocated, and an involuntary manslaughter charge against a nurse in California who continued to draw blood from an unresponsive patient while officers pinned him down. “It’s exceedingly rare for EMS providers to be charged criminally related to providing inpatient care,” Wolfberg said. “That is normally a medical malpractice issue, a negligent case which is civil, and it’s rarely criminal. This breaks new ground.” One of the police officers indicted in McClain’s death was convicted last month of the lesser charges he faced — homicide and third-degree assault — after defense attorneys sought to blame the paramedics. Two other officers were acquitted by jurors following trials that lasted for weeks. Cooper and Cichuniec are charged with manslaughter, negligent homicide and several counts each of assault, all felonies. Their role in McClain’s death loomed large in the first officers’ trials. Attorneys for one of the acquitted officers brought in a paid expert witness who were hired to work on the paramedics’ case by state prosecutors.

and Cichuniec’s actions fell significantly below the level of care expected. She testified that the paramedics stood back watching McClain from a distance as he was restrained by police, did not examine him before the ketamine injection and did not monitor him afterward. Prosecution experts also testified during the earlier trials that the ketamine ultimately caused McClain’s death, with some saying the officer’s violent stop set contributing events into motion. The amended coroner’s report, issued in 2021, found McClain died because he was given too much ketamine. However, forensic pathologist Stephen Cina noted the amount found in McClain’s blood was within the range normally considered safe. McClain was stopped the night of Aug. 24, 2019, while walking home from a convenience store, listening to music and wearing a mask covering most of his face. The police stop quickly became physical after McClain, seemingly caught off guard, tried to keep walking. He was unarmed and had not been accused of committing any crime. He was rendered briefly unconscious by an officer using a neck hold, prompting police to call for paramedics while officers restrained him on the ground. Cooper and Cichuniec denied being told the neck hold had been applied, according to their indictment. Prior to the ketamine injection, they stood near McClain and didn’t speak to him or ask him anything before diagnosing him within about two minutes with “excited delirium.” They had been trained to treat the condition, which allegedly makes people hyper-aggressive, the document said. Critics say the condition has been used to justify excessive force and some doctor’s groups reject excited delirium as a diagnosis. In McClain’s case, prosecutors said the diagnosis was inaccurate because the paramedics didn’t adequately assess his symptoms. A 2021 report by experts hired by Aurora to review McClain’s death found he had not moved or made any sounds for more than a minute before being injected. Cichuniec, supervisor of the Aurora Fire Department’s paramedics crew, asked medics working for a private ambulance on the scene to prepare the ketamine injection for McClain, the indictment said. Cooper injected him with 500 milligrams of ketamine, a dose appropriate for someone who weighed more than 200 pounds (90 kilograms), according to the indictment. McClain weighed only 143 pounds (65 kilograms). Before the ketamine injection, body camera footage shows Cooper asking police if McClain spoke English and Officer Randy Roedema, the officer convicted in the case, responding: “He speaks English, but he’s, he’s definitely on something.” Prosecutors in Roedema’s trial said using language like that, which suggested McClain had excited delerium, made the police officers
complicit in the paramedics’ decision to give McClain ketamine. Two days after McClain’s death, the Aurora officials put out a statement saying “a standard medication routinely utilized to reduce agitation was administered (to McClain) and reduced the exhibited anxiety.” The killings of McClain, Floyd and others triggered a wave of legislation that put limits on the use of neck holds in more than two dozen states, including Colorado, which now also instructs paramedics not to give ketamine to people suspected of having excited delirium. The condition had been described in a since-withdrawn emergency physicians’ report as manifesting with symptoms including increased strength. Critics have called the diagnosis unscientific and rooted in racism. The city of Aurora agreed in 2021 to pay $15 million to settle a lawsuit brought by McClain’s parents. — COLLEEN SLEVIN Associated Press

Aurora council won’t step in to prevent more than $2.5 million in looming cuts to programs for city’s homeless Aurora lawmakers on Nov. 20 rejected the suggestion that the city compensate for falling marijuana tax revenues by investing other funds in local homelessness service agencies, meaning food and shelter programs will likely be scaled back in 2024. Conservative council members argued that agencies should ask their donors for more money rather than rely on the city and fluctuating marijuana tax dollars for funding. “This is not guaranteed money. This is not just a guaranteed handout,” Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said. “I know how budgets work. Go fundraise.” Aurora taxes retail marijuana sales to fund services for the city’s homeless residents as well as youth violence prevention programs. Pot sales have declined as the COVID-19 pandemic has waned — in September, the city reported that marijuana sales tax revenues fell by 11% in 2022 and that revenues were down by about 8.5% in 2023 compared to the previous year. In total, the amount of marijuana funds available to homelessness services agencies dropped from $3.9 million for 2023 to $1.4 million to 2024. COVID-19 relief funds are also drying up, as pandemic-specific grants end and the city’s remaining American Rescue Plan Act money is spent down. Monday’s agenda item included a list of staff recommendations for about $2 million in grants to be awarded to eight agencies. Service providers have said the multi-million dollar cut will jeopardize programs such as Mile High Behavioral Healthcare’s cold-weather shelter and meal services, and the Pallet shelters operated by the Salvation Army.

But conservatives on the city council rejected the idea, with Councilmember Curtis Gardner saying the city and Aurora households have had to make cuts to account for economic conditions, suggesting agencies should also learn to work with smaller contributions from the city. He proposed that the council sign off on the grant recommendations but not try to find other funds to make up for the shortfall. “To think that money coming from the government in the form of a grant is ongoing and promised forever is really inappropriate,” Gardner said. “We have need after need in this city. We have a capital projects list that is nearly a billion dollars long.” Councilmember Francoise Bergan initially suggested that the council put off voting on the grant recommendations until January but ultimately agreed with Gardner’s proposal along with a majority of the council. Progressives Ruben Medina and Coombs both objected to the proposal moving forward from Monday’s study session, with Coombs saying she objected “in the strongest terms to leaving our most vulnerable residents, who are literally going to die, to die.” Councilmember Crystal Murillo said she agreed with Coombs’ objections but would support the item in the interests of giving agencies “something rather than nothing.”

APS leans toward turning Paris school into a community center, but lease price is an issue A discussion and plan to repurpose an elementary school targeted for closure drew confusion Tuesday from the Aurora Public Schools board members. During the board meeting, Superintendent Michael Giles said he wanted to lease Paris Elementary School, which closed earlier this school year, to non-profit groups YAASPA and the ABC Collective to create a kind of community center. YAASPA is a Colorado-based group that offers culturally responsive programs for youth. ABC Collective is a group of local organizations, such as Aurora Wellness and Apprentice for Peace, that are partnering together specifically to repurpose Paris elementary. The YAASPA plan was among four proposals made by various groups and businesses to redevelop Paris after it closes. “As we went through the process, the response we got from that particular zone had the ABC Collective with the highest priority rating and lowest disapproval rating, and
that means something,” Giles said. Former APS Interim Superintendent Mark Seglem initially wanted to sell the school, but Giles decided that it would be better for the district to keep the building as an asset and lease it instead. However, Giles explained that funding remains the biggest issue. According to the presentation, the current market value to lease a building that size is $1.2 million a year or $100,000 per month. It includes maintenance and operating costs. The organizations’ proposed budget indicated a yearly rent of $48,000 for the entire school. District officials later said the lease payments would be targets in a negotiation. A vote was not needed for this agenda item, but was categorized as an action item because the board could have gone in any direction during this discussion. Anything that could cause the board to vote is procedurally required to be categorized as an action item, according to Brandon Eyre, the district’s legal director. A motion was made and seconded by Directors Tramaine Duncan and Stephanie Mason to follow Giles’ recommendation to negotiate with the community organizations, but then directors Anne Keke and Nichelle Ortiz said they had additional questions. Eyre explained to the board that because a motion has been made and seconded, they can continue discussions as a group but “outside
information is usually cut off.” He recommended that the board rescind the motion “because it sounds like there is still information gathering that is still requested.” Duncan rescinded his motion. After some thought, Mason did not rescind her motion. Nearly 16 minutes later, after the board had discussed other topics and were seemingly prepared to move onto the next presentation scheduled for the night, Duncan said, “just for clarification purposes, this is an action item, but I thought on action items we vote.” Eyre further explained it was categorized as an action item and not an information item because there was the possibility of a vote. Other questions centered around vendors. Director Michael Carter asked if the other vendors were also given the option to lease the building and if they submitted lease agreements. Marianne Sammons, the district’s strategic development advisor, explained that all vendors were informed that Giles wanted to lease the building. She added that the community organizations, as well as two other vendors, were willing to lease the building. Sammons also explained that none of the vendors submitted proposed lease agreements, and the information that was presented to Giles was the same information that was presented to the former superintendent last school year. Approximately 15 minutes after
Sammons answered Carter’s questions, and after the board had discussed other topics, Director Vicki Reinhard circled back and asked for clarification on Giles’ plan to lease the building to the community organizations, and asked if the information he had received was the same information the previous superintendent received. Ortiz explained that the “awkwardness” was because Giles was giving the board “a lot of courtesy and heads up.” “It’s kind of like, ‘we’re getting input at this stage?’’’ she said. “That’s why this seems so different for me.” Keke echoed Ortiz’s sentiments. “If we’re going to move forward and make this successful, then I think the board needs to be informed and behind it on the very front end. So that was the whole purpose of coming in here and having this conversation,” Giles said. The board ultimately supported Giles’ recommendation to negotiate with the community organizations.

ALL-AURORA BOYS CROSS COUNTRY
It was a wire-to-wire finish for Grandview as the top boys team in Aurora cross country during the 2023 season, though Regis Jesuit came on late. Three Wolves and three Raiders make up the majority of the 2023 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Boys Cross Country Team, which is based on performance at the Class 5A state meet at the Norris Penrose Event Center BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor in Colorado Springs. The team also includes a single runner from Cherokee Trail. Coach Brian Manley’s Grandview team won the Aurora City Championship, Centennial League Championship and Region 1 meets, then ended with a program-best fifth place state finish that was aided by seniors Evan Valencia and Owen Zitek as well as junior Lucas Blevins. Zitek was the only four-time state qualifier among Aurora boys runners and he matched his career-best finish with a 24th-place showing in a time of 16 minutes, 21.10 seconds, to be the first runner from his team across the finish line. A three-time All-Aurora first teamer, Zitek was also 24th last season, 46th in 2021 and 97th in 2020. Blevins had four top-eight finishes through the course of the year and he captured 36th place at state, which was a significant improvement on his 111th-place finish in 2021, with a time that was a whopping 1:36 faster. Valencia — who had three top-seven finishes — moved up 54 places (104th to 50th) from his state finish in 2022. Coach Chris Boyle’s Regis Jesuit team finished
as a close Region 1 runner-up to Grandview and grabbed 13th place at the state meet with a push from senior David Flaig and juniors Caleb Aex and Braeden Focht. Focht claimed Aurora’s top honors in terms of finish with a 13th-place showing (in a time of 16:06) a season after he was 95th and ran more than a minute slower. He had a whopping seven top-10 finishes on the season, while Flaig came in 46th to easily earn his second straight All-Aurora first team honor. Aex posted five top-15 finishes during the season and ended with a 58th-place showing at state. Cherokee Trail reloaded after the graduation of several members of what had been an outstanding team for coach Chris Faust. The Cougars finished 18th at this season’s state meet and were led by sophomore Dylan Smith, who finished in 55th place after he was 102nd the previous season. He was top 10 in the Aurora City Championships, Centennial League Championships and Region 1 races.
ALL-AURORA GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY It was definitely a different season for girls cross country around Aurora in 2023 with the concentration of top talent centered around Grandview and Regis Jesuit. Four Raiders and two Wolves appear along with a Cherokee Trail representative on the 2023 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Girls Cross Country Team, which is based primarily on performance at the Class 5A state meet in Colorado Springs. Led by a mixture of experience — seniors Erika Danzer and Ashlyn Pallotta — and youth (freshman Whitney Helmerick and sophomore Zoe Small), coach Natalie Baldasare’s Regis Jesuit team finished 18th out of 20 scoring teams. Pallotta ran in the state meet for a second straight season and she was the Raiders’ top finisher on both occassions. She ran 19:48.84 to take 51st in 2022, but dropped to 19:09.40 for 36th place in her return. Pallotta’s season included a championship at the Roadrunners Invitational plus three other top-10 finishes. Danzer ran in the state meet for a third straight season and made the All-Aurora team for the third time in that span. She progressed upward each time with ›› See FALL ALL-AURORA, 10

The two individuals who led Overland all season — sophomore Ainsley Renner and senior Kyla Burke — make up the 2023 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Gymnastics Team, which is based on performance at the state meet. Renner’s freshman season was hindered greatly by injury, as she only returned to competition late in the season. As a sophomore, she got the chance to show off her ability in all four events, which gave her a wide variety of top finishes in all-around competitions. She finished in the top three of the all-around in her final three meets, which included a championship at the Centennial/Continental League Championship meet with a score of 37.550. Renner finished as the runner-up at Overland’s regional meet with an identical score, then posted
a 37.500 in state competition to earn third place. Besides All-Aurora all-around honors, Renner also finished as the city’s best in the vault. She was the league champion in the event with a score of 9.25, bumped that up to 9.4 to take second at league and then got even better scores at the state meet with a 9.450 that qualified her to the individual event finals. Renner’s last score of the year for a 9.600 that put her in fourth place individually. Burke qualified for the individual event finals in all four events (as she placed seventh in the allaround standings) and earned All-Aurora honors on the balance beam, uneven bars and floor exercise. On the balance beam and in the floor exercise, Burke saved her best for last. Burke finished the season on the floor with a 9.525 in the individual event finals — her best
score of the year — which landed her a third-place medal. Burke also scored 9.475 in the event during the team competition and earned a 9.3 or better on her last four routines. The balance beam also saw her perform her best in the final weeks of the season, as she scored 9.400 in three of her final four performances. Burke earned that score at the Centennial/Continental League Championships to take third and the same result got her a fourth-place regional finish. She dipped a bit to 9.250 in the team competition, but it qualified her for the individual event finals, where another 9.400 earned her third place. Burke also repeated as Aurora’s top performer on the uneven bars, where she finished in 13th place with a score of 8.975 in the team competition at state, followed by an 8.500 in the individual event finals.

‘Black Nativity’ lights up Aurora’s Vintage Theatre Langston Hughes’ dramatic retelling of the story of Jesus’ birth is coming to Aurora’s Vintage Theatre this month, featuring local gospel music performers and dancers.

and compassion we have experienced in the post-pandemic world,” director Alicia “Lisa” Young said in a news release. “We will be renewing the Black traditions of seeking out reverence, awe, joy, jubilation, and the anticipation of the holiday season, and the reason we celebrate Black excellence.” GO: Opening night is Dec. 8, and performances will continue through Dec. 30.

10 GIFT IDEAS FOR THE MUSIC LOVER IN YOUR LIFE BY MARIA SHERMAN, AP MUSIC WRITER
F
or the obsessive record collector or the casual listener, the shower singer or the rock star of tomorrow, a music-inspired gift is never a faux pas over the holidays. The challenge, of course, is in the decision making. Is a genre-specific festival ticket the way to go? What about a box set fit for a budding audiophile? Here’s a variety gift guide for the audio lover in your life — from photo card binders for the K-pop superfan to a pair of some of the best headphones on the market and a cheese board that looks surprisingly hi-def. It’ll be music to their ears. GIVE ‘EM SIMONE: There are vinyl box sets, and then there is “Four Women: The Nina Simone Complete Recordings 1964-1967,” a massive, seven-LP collection built from the seven albums Simone released for the Philips label during her most prolific creative period. That’s 1964’s “Nina Simone in Concert” and “Broadway-Blues-Ballads”; 1965’s “I Put A Spell On You,” “Pastel Blues” and “Let It All Out”; 1966’s “Wild Is the Wind”; and 1967’s “High Priestess of Soul,” remastered from the original tape. It is the ideal way to celebrate the musician and civil rights activist, and the ideal gift for a music fan of any walk. Cost: $199.96 HIT “PLAY”: The cassette tape revolutionized the music industry and the music listening experience: You could make mixtapes for loved ones, record that hit song from the radio, or best of all, carry your favorite album around with you. In “High Bias: The Distorted History of the Cassette Tape,” music journalist Marc Masters provides the definitive text on the tinybut-mighty piece of plastic. Perfect for the pop-culture obsessed. Cost: $20 THE WAY SHE WAS: On Nov. 7, Barbra Streisand released her very long and very long-awaited memoir, “My Name is Barbra.” She’d talked about it for years — in 2021, she told Jimmy Fallon that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis had asked her to write a memoir in the early 1980s, when the former first lady was an editor at Doubleday. (Heck, during an Associated Press interview in 2009, Streisand mentioned that she had been writing chapters about her life, in longhand. “I go back and forth,” Streisand said at the time. “Do I really want to write about my life? Do I really want to relive my life? I’m not sure.”) But beyond the wait — and the fact that “My Name is Barbra” is well worth it, a larger-thanlife autobiography coming in at a whopping 1,040 pages — are the revelations that await the reader. From her childhood to her marriage to the making of “Yentl” and beyond. Cost: $47 FOR YOUR PLEASURE: In 2021, Harry Styles entered the beauty game with his company, “Pleasing,” beginning with colorful, gender-neutral nail polish. It contin-
ued to grow, eventually including skincare and makeup. This holiday season, Styles has entered the fragrance game. Launched this month, Styles’ perfume line includes “Closeness,” described as a “woody musk scent,” “Rivulets,” which is a “floral, fresh amber scent,” and “Bright, Hot,” a “heady woody amber scent with top notes of plum and tobacco.” Something for everyone, or, at least, the pop music fan in your life. It’s a welcome distraction from One Direction’s indefinite hiatus. Cost: $135 SAY CHEESE: This one might give an audiophile a heart attack, but that doesn’t make it any less adorable. ‘Tis the season to break out the charcuterie board and host a great holiday party — but why not do it in musical style? The “Turntable Cheese Board” from Uncommon Goods is exactly what it sounds like — a cheese board designed to look like the most expensive, slick turntable, featuring a slate platter and hidden slicer in the one arm. Delicious. Cost: $78 HEAR IT LOUD: There’s never a wrong time to upgrade headphones — in fact, it makes for a great gift. Sony’s MDR-7506 headphones are a particularly wise selection. This pair is perfect for aspiring producers, music students, podcast hosts of the future, anyone who wants to look cool walking down the street with studio-grade headphones and beyond. They’re an industry standard for a reason. Cost: $80-$130 K-POP COOL: Far too often, holiday gift guides — even those specifically catering to music enthusiasts — fail to account for dedicated, artist-specific fandoms. And that’s a shame, because the most thoughtful presents are often the most specific ones. They communicate to the gift-receiver that the gift-giver really gets them. That they listen. For the K-pop lover, why not get a photocard binder where they can store their limited-edition collection? Just make sure you know who their “bias” (a K-pop term for favorite member) is first, OK? That would be embarrassing. Cost: $13 - $20 IT’S NOT A PHASE: In his second book, “Goth: A History”, Lol Tolhurst, co-founder the influential “goth” band The Cure, explores the often-misunderstood movement, what he calls “the last true alternative outsider subculture.” It’s about the music subgenre born out of late-’70s punk and dread, of course (Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees) but also touches on Tim Burton films, Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven,” Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein”, Emily Brontë, and an adolescent period marked by black nail polish and nihilism. It’s a well-rounded, interdisciplinary and definitive history and part-memoir, perfect for that friend who swears he liked that band before they were big. Cost: $20 - $25
THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON: In 1995, The Roots dropped their influential sophomore album, “Do You Want More?!!!??!,” a critically acclaimed album in hip-hop canon. Now, nearly three decades later, a four-LP box set has been released — a remastered version of the original two LP albums and now with bonus tracks curated by Questlove himself. He and Tariq Trotter, a.k.a. Black Thought, wrote the liner notes, and that’s a kind of exclusive commentary you can only pay for. (And if you’re feeling really generous, you could also throw in Trotter’s new book, “The Upcycled Self: A Memoir on the Art of Becoming Who We Are” and become the greatest gift giver in your circle.) Cost: $89.98 TE AMO: What do music fans really want for the holidays? The live music experience, of course. In 2024, the Latin music festival Besame Mucho is headed to Austin, Texas, following the success of its inaugural year in Los Angeles, and should be considered a hot-ticket item. The lineup features Los Tigres Del Norte, Banda MS, Grupo Frontera and many more — a can’t miss event. Cost: $275 - 950

The latter will be repurposed into an early education development center that will open next school year.
In May, the board chose to postpone decisions for Paris Elementary School’s future and wait until a new superintendent was hired. The previous superintendent, Rico Munn, resigned at the end of last school year. Giles began as superintendent this past summer.

Aurora police arrest 13-year-old boy in fatal Nov. 26 stabbing Police say a 13-year-old boy fatally stabbed a man at a south Aurora apartment Nov. 26, prompting to Aurora police to press for second-degree murder charges. Officers responded at about 9 p.m. to a report of a stabbing in the 16000 block of East Easter Circle and found the 40-year-old victim lying unresponsive in an entryway. He
had been stabbed in the torso multiple times, police said. The slain man was identified Monday by Arapahoe County coroner officials as Dominic Ramon Robinson. Police provided medical care until the man was transported to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries. He will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office. The suspect remained at the scene and was arrested. Because he is a juvenile, he was not identified. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with any information about the stabbing is asked to contact Aurora police at 720-913-7867. — MAX LEVY, Sentinel Colorado Staff Writer

the two-car crash in the intersection of East Iliff Avenue and South Havana Street at about 7:15 a.m. “When officers arrived at the scene, they found a 28-year-old man who had died from injuries he sustained in the crash,” Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement. “He will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.” A preliminary investigation revealed that the unidentified slain man was driving a 2000 Honda Accord south on Havana when it was t-boned on the driver’s side by an 2013 Hyundai Elantra traveling west on Iliff, Moylan said. “Investigators suspect the Hyundai ran a red light immediately before the crash,” Moylan said. “The driver of the Hyundai ran after the crash. He has not yet been positively identified nor located.” Officials said the car was not reported stolen, and that the suspect fled the scene on foot. Police closed the intersection for more than six hours after the crash for investigation. The crash marks the 62nd traffic-related death this year in Aurora. Police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said. — Sentinel Staff BEYOND AURORA
Colorado legislators eyeing $120 per child food stipends next summer for struggling families Low-income families in Colorado could receive $120 per child to help pay for groceries next summer if state lawmakers agree to tap a federal program aimed at reducing childhood hunger when school is out. The legislature begins meeting Friday for a special session to address spiking property taxes after voters rejected Proposition HH. But lawmakers will also consider the summer grocery program because the state must opt in by Jan. 1 to participate in 2024. The program has a wonky name — Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer, or Summer EBT — but the idea is simple: Reduce childhood hunger in low-income families when school meal programs are on break or harder to access over the summer. Eligible families would get a card preloaded with money to buy food that is sent to their homes when school’s out. As many as 350,000 Colorado children could benefit. The program would be another step in Colorado’s continuing effort to shrink the number of children who go hungry in the state. Starting this school year, the vast majority of Colorado students can get free school meals regardless of family income because of a universal meal program approved by voters in 2022. A program similar to Summer
EBT was in place during the pandemic, but it was optional for school districts, and it expired last summer. The new Summer EBT program would require all districts in the federal government’s National School Lunch Program to participate. In Colorado, that’s every district but Aspen. Helping low-income families pay for groceries in the summer reduces childhood food insecurity, increases fruit and vegetable intake, and cuts the amount of sugary beverages children drink, according to federal evaluations of a pilot Summer EBT program in several states. Families would be eligible for Summer EBT in 2024 if they have household incomes at or below 185% of the federal poverty level — $55,500 for a family of four — and have children attending preschool through 12th grade in a public school that offers the National School Lunch or Breakfast Program. For the state to participate, Colorado lawmakers will have to appropriate about $3.5 million to help administer the program, said Brehan Riley, school nutrition director at the Colorado Department of Education. The federal government would match that amount, plus send $35 million to $42 million directly to qualifying families in the form of benefit cards. The program would be jointly administered by the Colorado Department of Human Services and the education department. Riley said children will still be able to get any free summer meals offered through their school district even if their families also receive the Summer EBT benefit. “The $120, I think it averages out to $1.33 a day,” she said. “So it’s supposed to supplement” the summer school meals program. Some students can’t get to local schools that offer summer meals because they live too far away or don’t have transportation. If state lawmakers approve the Summer EBT program during the special session, which could last just three days, Colorado would join 10 other states planning to participate next summer. They include Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia The Colorado State Board of Education voted 7-1 in support of the proposed Summer EBT bill on Tuesday. Board member Debora Scheffel, a Republican who represents a large swath of eastern Colorado, voted no. Board member Steve Durham, also a Republican, was absent. If lawmakers approve the Summer EBT bill, Riley said the most important thing parents can do to ensure they’re eligible is fill out the free and reduced-price meal form at their child’s school. In some districts, the form may have a slightly different name, possibly the “family economic data survey.” “We are hearing from districts that families haven’t been filling out those forms,” she said. “In order to receive summer EBT benefits, that form has to be in place.” — ANN SCHIMKE, Colorado Chalkbeat
