Lamenting collateral damage across the US after being carpet bombed by family values

DAVE PERRY Editor

ike other graying journalists, I’ve seen some things, man, and some stuff. But I can’t say I’ve ever seen a cavalcade of horror rush for the door at the end of the year like I’ve seen in the last several days. All you can do is feel deep sadness and sympathy for women being terrorized by the Texas Taliban, and especially Kate Cox. Cox outed herself as a pregnant Texas mother of two who tragically learned that what she hoped to be her third child had a fatal condition. The fetus she carries could rupture her uterus or even kill her, according to real doctors. Despite that, she can’t have her physician abort the dying fetus and protect her own lif. That’s because Texas treats women as livestock, where the women’s owners decide life-and-death situations for the little ladies, not the women themselves. Cox made her crisis public, and the Texas Supreme Court, pretending to be medical experts, told her to go have a miscarriage. What kind of place creates and inflicts laws that rob women of the most fundamental right guaranteed to all Americans, the right of self-determination and control over their own bodies? I know — Iran, Afghanistan and Texas. Where else besides those three bastions of oppression can lawyers posing as judges actually overrule real medical experts without any say from the patients themselves? I know — Kentucky. Cox wasn’t the only woman in the South having to fight her state government for the most basic and profound of all human rights, the right to make decisions about her own body. A pregnant woman in Kentucky is having to sue her state government because politicians and judges there won’t let her abort her dead embryo. Unlike Cox in Texas, the woman doesn’t want to be identified, because that’s how you get killed in places like the South these days. But her lawyer said her doctors told her the embryo she carries in her uterus no longer has any cardiac activity. Sorry-no-sorry, officials there say, but there are no abortions in Kentucky. There’s only women sickened, maimed and killed by a government that has been empowered to decide those things for them. Kentucky’s “Jane Doe” is courageous enough to file her suit as class action, in hopes of saving other Kentucky women from the horrors of that state’s “holler-ban” crusade against those with ovaries. Not too far from the antics of the modern Kentucky Klan is a once hard-working election worker in Georgia who has been terrorized by other right-wing extremists, bullies and bigots because of Rudy Giuliani. While Giuliani was in the thick of hammering out nonsense with Donald

Kristin Oh Protesters, including Judy Nadler of Sarasota, holding a “Don’t Say 3-way” sign, gather outside the Sarasota County School Board, Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023, calling for school board member Bridget Ziegler to resign. Following the demonstration, the school board approved a symbolic resolution calling for Ziegler to resign in light of rape allegations involving Ziegler’s husband, and by the couple’s admissions about having a three-way sexual encounter previously with the accuser.

Trump to support “The Big Lie,” he lied to the media, saying that Atlanta election worker Wandrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother falsified ballot counts. The women were almost instantly stalked, taunted and terrorized by Trump fanatics, accusing her of treason, calling her a thug and racist slurs. “I’m most scared of my son finding me and or my mom hanging in front of our house on a tree having to get news at school that his mom was killed,” Moss said in court this week in a case against Giuliani. “At one point in January 2021, she said, someone came to her grandmother’s door threatening to make a ‘citizen arrest.’” Sound like modern day Hong Kong? Try downtown Atlanta. Farther south, in Florida, that growing bastion of ending rights, state officials are forcing a Florida high school to cough up thousands of dollars. That’s because coaches at the school let a student — who has identified as a girl before she started preschool — to play on the girls volleyball team with other girls. “The Florida High School Athletic Association fined Monarch High $16,500, ordered the principal and athletic director to attend rules seminars and placed the suburban Fort Lauderdale school on probation for 11 months, meaning further violations could lead to increased punishments,” the Associate Press wrote this week. The girl who was persecuted in the public shaming can’t play any highschool sports anywhere for 11 months. That’s what you get for putting a real man in lifts and fabulous white go-go boots like Ron DeSantis in charge of a state where the Republican Party royalty sees Family Values as a meaningful wink-wink-nudge-nudge Sharpee-scribbled title on the fireplace mantle sex tapes. You missed that? Florida GOP Chairman Christian Ziegler and his blessed Sarasota School Board wife, Bridget Ziegler, who gave America Moms for Liberty, are embroiled in

a nail-and-earlobe biter sex scandal. They’re at odds with an unnamed trois of their ménage, who insists she/her/ hers was sexually assaulted when everything got real there one time with he/him/his. and they/them/theirs. These are the people who are forcing families with transgender children to flee to states where politicians and others keep their kinky sexual antics out of the news. The tenth-grade girl outed by a Broward County School District posse has played 33 games in the last two seasons. Unlike skulky political players like DeSantis and the Zieglers, hundreds of students at the school, when learning about the girl’s plight, walked out of class in protest. For now, the school still has to hand over $16,500, and the girl who was accosted by team DeSantis now fears for her life because other people sporting Florida Family Values dig that kind of thing when they think no one’s watching. “Thanks to the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida passed legislation to protect girls’ sports and we will not tolerate any school that violates this law,” Education Commissioner Manny Diaz told the Associated Press in a statement. “We applaud the swift action taken by the Florida High School Athletic Association to ensure there are serious consequences for this illegal behavior.” No doubt there will be similar applause for swift video-taped action among the Zieglers when the recording gets entered as either evidence in a trial against them or as a Movie of the Week on the Florida GOP Has Values Home Sex Aid Shopping Channel. All this and there’s probably still time for meemaw Rep. Lauren “La Fondler” Boebert to give another Family Values show of her own and wring in the New Year.

Appeals court agrees with the Sentinel — City Council can’t keep a secret

learly, the Aurora City Council has yet to grasp the secret to success: No secret meetings. The hard and principled truth behind that was made clear last week when the Colorado Court of Appeals issued a unanimous opinion that the city council violated state law when it voted in secret last year to end censure proceedings against Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky. It’s the second time a Colorado court has made such a finding after the Sentinel sued in an effort to force Aurora to make public recordings of the illegal meeting. The debacle began with a Jan. 27, 2022 appearance by Jurinsky on a local right-wing talk radio show. Jurinsky spent considerable on-air time criticizing officials in Aurora’s beleaguered police department, which had not long before entered into a consent decree with the state’s attorney general to make numerous reforms. The mandates came after a long investigation revealing patterns of racism, malfeasance, accountability and shrouding information. Jurinsky talked disparagingly about then-Chief Vanessa Wilson and especially about the deputy chief. She told KNUS radio show host Steffan Tubbs and listeners that she wanted to fire the chief and talked with her about firing her deputy chief as a show of good faith. Aurora operates under a council-manager form of government, and the chief reports to the city manager, not the city council. City lawmakers are precluded from intervening or interfering in personnel matters. The radio interlude prompted former Councilmember Juan Marcano to seek censure against Jurinsky, in part because of her comments. Jurinsky claimed the issue was one of free speech. Rather than debate the issue in public, the city council decided to upend Marcano’s censure effort — illegally in a closed meeting — according to witnesses and the city’s own admissions. According to lawmakers and staff in the room, at one point Mayor Mike Coffman polled each council member about the issue. Those wanting to stop the censure proceedings prevailed. It was a flagrant abuse of open meeting laws, convening action in secret. A district court, and now the state appellate court, agreed. But the district court judge ruled earlier this year that the city essentially “cured” the illegal meeting by having limited discussion for public benefit at a later meeting. The appellate court ruling was profound: There is no “cure” for an illegal secret meeting. The public’s business was wrongly conducted behind closed doors. The only remedy is to release the tape of the meeting and allow for the scrutiny the public was deprived of more than a year ago. So far, the city has yet to comply with the court order to release the recording to the Sentinel. The city has about a month left to comply or appeal the decision. Fighting against sound public policy and law — requiring that all public business, with very few exceptions, be conducted in public and be available for public scrutiny — only makes this exploit all the more tawdry. It’s also a waste of taxpayer money to continue this unjust and futile fight. The city hasn’t spent its own considerable legal staff time on defending its illegal meeting. City attorney officials hired outside counsel to argue its case in district court, and then again during the Sentinel’s appeal. It’s almost certain that, should the city council agree, the city attorney’s office would continue to hire outside counsel for a final appeal. The cost of all this outside legal help to protect the city’s ability to conduct business in secret has yet to be released to the Sentinel. The city has required reporters file Colorado Open Records Act requests rather than simply supply what is clearly public information: how the city spends public tax dollars. The good news from all this is that the courts have made explicit that legal semantics used to conceal what is obviously an illegally conducted meeting won’t be overlooked by the courts. Aurora, and all state governments, must conduct the public’s business in public. Just as importantly, repeating parts of a secret meeting in public does not expunge the city’s illegal behavior. Aurora, and other guilty governments, must divulge their secrecy to the public. Transparency isn’t just legal government, it’s good government.

Chris Christie’s quixotic quest

ou rarely see the names Chris Christie and Kris Kristofferson in the same sentence, but some of the songwriter’s most famous lyrics best describe the quixotic candidate’s current shtick: “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose…” Christie’s attempt to talk sense to grassroots Republicans is obviously doomed to fail, because Duh Base is armored against anyone who dares utter self-evident truths about its fascist cult leader. If as expected he loses big in his chosen battleground, the impending New Hampshire primary, his candidacy will have the life span of a fruit fly. Wait, I’ll amend that. A fruit fly can live 50 days. Given the futility of his quest, Christie clearly decided that his best option in the final GOP undercard debate of 2023 was to just cut loose and take no prisoners. And maybe, just maybe, his message can make a difference in the long run – not with the cult, but with the general electorate. The other three folks on stage – faux-surging Nikki Haley, floundering Ron DeSantis, and feral twit Vivek Ramaswamy – were, as usual, terrified of taking on the guy who’ll spend much of the 2024 campaign in courtrooms. But Christie went there, to the max. “The truth needs to be spoken: (Trump) is unfit,” Christie said. “This is a guy who just said this past week that he wants to use the Department of Justice to go after his enemies when he gets in there. And the fact of the matter is, he is unfit to be president. And there is no bigger issue in this race.” “There’s no mystery about what (Trump) wants to do,” Christie added. “He started off this campaign by saying ‘I am your retribution.’ This is an angry, bitter man who now wants to be back as president because he wants to exact retribution on anyone who has disagreed with him. Anyone who has tried to hold him to account for his own conduct.” If given more time, Christie may well have shamed his rivals by sharing the latest news: In Nevada this week, a grand jury indicted six

MAGAts who posed as fake electors in 2020 and filed fake electoral votes in a bid to overturn Joe Biden’s statewide win. The indictees include the chair and vice chair of the Nevada Republican Party. (Georgia and Michigan have also charged fake electors with crimes.) Also, in Wisconsin, ten fake electors settled a civil lawsuit by admitting that their fake electoral votes were “part of an attempt to improperly overturn the 2020 presidential election results.” The best part of the debate was when Christie challenged his rivals to denounce Trump and stand up for American democracy. They wouldn’t do it. Duh Base requires them to be spinelessly quiescent, and so they were. DeSantis did manage to get his mouth to move with a few words about Trump maybe being too old, but Christie jeered, “Ron, is he fit or not? He won’t answer…He is afraid to answer. Either you are afraid or you are not listening. Is he fit or isn’t he?” Indeed, Christie said at the close of the debate, “I want you all to kind of picture in your mind Election Day. You’ll be heading to the polls to vote and that is something Donald Trump will not be able to do because he will be convicted of felonies before then, and his right to vote will be taken away.” It’s amazing that so few people are making that case. The Republican cult may think it’s no big deal to run a convicted felon for president – convicted, quite likely, in the federal coup case slated for a March trial in Washington – but how would that play with independent swing voters and the grassroots Democrats who are currently whining about Biden but who’d be highly motivated to save democracy when the chips are down? For sharing that message alone, Christie belongs on the stump. He knows it’s useless to talk sense to the cult, so he’s playing the long game. With nothing left to lose, he’s rightly telling the rest of us that if the likely felon is rehired next November, we as a nation will have everything to lose.

Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky on the council dais Monday March 14, 2022, after the city council met in closed session. Sentinel screen grab

APPEALS COURT: Aurora council illegally blocked censure of member in closed-door meeting

Colorado Court of Appeals rules for the Sentinel, requiring city to release recording of closed meeting BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

olorado’s Court of Appeals ruled Dec. 7 that the Aurora City Council violated state law when it voted last March to end censure proceedings against Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky in a meeting closed to the public. The decision means the City of Aurora must turn over an electronic recording of the meeting to Sentinel Colorado, which the city refused to do when asked by the newspaper last year. Aurora still has the option of appealing the decision to the Colorado Supreme Court. City spokesman Ryan Luby said the city will mull whether it wants to do so “over the next several weeks.” The appeals case stemmed from when then-Councilmember Juan Marcano initiated censure proceedings against Jurinsky in early 2022 after Jurinsky told a regional talk radio show host how she had encouraged then-police chief Vanessa Wilson to replace deputy chief, Darin Parker. Jurinsky also criticized Wilson’s leadership of the Aurora Police Department, referring to the chief as “trash.” Marcano accused Jurinsky of violating a section of the City Charter that prohibits council members from meddling in the appointment of employees who fall under the authority of the city manager. He also said Jurinsky’s statements about Wilson went against part of the council’s

rules of order and procedure, which require members to “conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times” when interacting with city staffers. A supermajority vote of the council to censure Jurinsky would have been the first step before Jurinsky could be punished for her statements. However — during a closeddoor meeting on March 14, 2022 — a majority of the council voted to halt the censure process and pay fees for an attorney hired by Jurinsky. Council rules stipulated at the time that, while an executive session could be called to receive legal advice regarding the process of disciplining an elected official, “no action or decision may occur in the executive session.” Colorado’s Open Meetings Law also limits what city councils are allowed to do outside of the public eye and generally prohibits groups from adopting “any proposed policy, position, resolution, rule, regulation or formal action” in secret. If a court finds that a group took such action anyway, recordings of that meeting must be made available for public inspection. Because the council’s actions appeared to violate the state Open Meetings Law, and because the city also failed to announce the specific topic of the closed-door meeting ahead of time, which is required under state law, Sentinel Colorado requested the electronic recording of this private meeting from the city.

The city refused, with City Clerk Kadee Rodriguez writing that the recording was “privileged attorney / client communication and is exempt from disclosure.” Arapahoe County District Court Judge Elizabeth Beebe Volz ruled last September that the city did not have to the release the recording, finding that Aurora failed to provide proper notice of the private meeting but that the council “cured” the Open Meetings Law violation by including information about what was discussed March 14 in its March 28 meeting agenda packet. Volz also acknowledged that there was a “roll call” taken during the closed-door meeting to decide how to proceed but said this did not constitute “formal action” in the context of the Open Meetings Law. On Thursday, a trio of appellate judges overturned Volz’s ruling, saying among other things that the district court made a “clear error” when it found that the council’s vote did not violate state law. The opinion was written by Judge David Furman and joined by judges Terry Fox and Gilbert Román. In his opinion, Furman said Volz erred when she relied on a 2012 ruling by the Court of Appeals that said that a public body can validate a decision made inappropriately in secret through a subsequent public meeting. Sentinel Colorado did not challenge the decision to end the censure process itself but rather the decision to deny the newspaper a

recording of the illegal closed-door meeting. The Colorado Court of Appeals also found that the council waived its claims to attorney-client privilege when the city published information about the March 14 private meeting. “We conclude that the City Council violated … the OML by improperly convening and taking a ‘position … or formal action’ in deciding to end Jurinsky’s censure proceedings during the March 14 executive session,” Furman’s decision reads. “Because we have concluded that the City Council waived the attorney-client privilege regarding its communications at the March 14 executive session, the recording of this session must be released.” Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, said Thursday that the ruling supports important provisions of Colorado’s Open Meetings Law and that it will have “precedent-setting value.” “We had a reason to believe something was not right. And it was puzzling when the district court didn’t fully see it that way. And now, that’s been vindicated by the Court of Appeals,” Roberts said. “I see it as a positive upholding of important aspects of the Open Meetings Law and the public’s right to know at least something about what their elected officials are discussing when they close the door on the public.”

Registration for the Colorado Association of School Boards annual convention at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs. PHOTO BY KRISTIN OH/ Sentinel Colorado

SCHOOL BOARDS ACROSS THE STATE GATHER FOR CONVENTION, HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS AT POSH COLORADO SPRINGS RESORT

chool board directors and superintendents from across the state gathered at the Broadmoor hotel last week for their annual convention, drawing criticism from open-meeting advocates and government-spending critics. The Colorado Association of School Boards’ 83rd convention was Dec. 6 through Dec. 9. It’s the 60th year of it being held at the hotel, according to CASB Executive Director Jubal Yennie. The hotel is billed as one of the most luxurious hotel resorts in the state. The hotel claims to be “The Longest-Running Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond Resort in the World.” Cherry Creek School District and Aurora Public Schools school board directors were among dozens of other school board officials attending the convention. Both districts are also among those that are holding public meetings at the Broadmoor, about 70 miles from the community they serve. Colorado open meeting laws do not dictate where meetings of public bodies must be held, only that they are open to the public if public business is discussed. Critics of remote meetings say that conducting public business so far from the area the local government serves defeats the purpose of a public meeting. “The school district community has a right to know what school board members are discussing at a study session far from district boundaries,” said Jeff Roberts, executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition. Cherry Creek held an hours-long study session Dec. 6 morning ahead of the convention.

BY KRISTIN OH, Sentinel Staff Writer

The Sentinel sent a reporter to observe a portion of the meeting. School officials discussed the districts’ audits, budget and ongoing litigation regarding the state’s universal preschool program, among other topics. The study session, like all of their other public meetings, was not broadcast or video-recorded. Cherry Creek has recently been criticized publicly for not live-streaming their board meetings like other large Colorado school districts. They do, however, upload an audio recording of the meeting after it has ended. This was often a topic of discussion during the last election cycle, when two challengers said they would advocate for live-streaming of meetings. Incumbents Anne Egan and Angela Garland, who both won re-election, said that they would be open to live-streaming the meetings, but acknowledged that their board meetings are not held in a central location. “The school board could and should livestream the meeting, even though it’s not required to do so by the law,” Roberts said. Cherry Creek spokesperson Abbe Smith said that the district typically conducts its December study session at the Broadmoor during the conference. Boulder Valley School District and JeffCo Public Schools also held meetings on Wednesday at the Broadmoor, according to the districts’ calendars. The latter organized a retreat for new board members. APS scheduled a retreat at the Broadmoor hotel for Dec. 12, the day after the convention ends. Critics say the optics and actual expense of holding school-district events and conferences

at what is billed as an opulent resort is troublesome to much of the public. Jon Caldara — president of the Independence Institute, a political commentary columnist for the Colorado Springs Gazette and host of “Devil’s Advocate” on public television — criticized the costs of attending the conference and staying at the hotel as school districts are faced with funding problems. “I am thrilled that CASB has the elegance, style and sophistication to meet at the Broadmoor, as I’m certain they expect Colorado’s school board members to have the same opulent mindset when they return to their home districts and cry poverty to their taxpayers,” Caldara said. “The Broadmoor is a state treasure. But that doesn’t mean taxpayers’ treasure should be spent there.” All Cherry Creek and APS board directors are attending the convention and staying at the hotel, which is paid for by the district. APS spokesperson Corey Christiansen said that “the CASB conference is a good opportunity for the board to conduct its own training in addition to the training provided by CASB.” Yennie said that the Broadmoore offers special pricing for the convention. “It’s actually less expensive to be here than in anyplace else, like all those places in Denver,” he said. He added he was unable to provide an “apples to apples” estimate on costs for other venues but the Broadmoor’s partnership with CASB goes back to the decades-long relationships between ›› See SCHOOL BOARD, 7

2nd racist video by Greenwood Village middle school students draws ire from parents, calls for Cherry Creek schools action Parents are demanding more action from Cherry Creek School District leaders as a second racist video made by students has circulated on social media. “We will not tolerate hate in the Cherry Creek School District,” Superintendent Chris Smith said during a board of education meeting Monday evening. He added that parents, teachers and principals should hold themselves and students accountable for their actions. At least half-dozen parents spoke about racism in the district and the changes they want to see. “We are collectively concerned and deeply saddened by recent anti-Black racism,” Samantha Schacher, a district parent, said during public comment about a video involving students from Campus Middle School in Greenwood Village. “We know that this is a systemic issue within the district.” Schacher said that she, like many other parents, found out about the racist videos through social media and was “shocked and disappointed” that the school district “was not addressing it transparently with the community.” Jennifer Ann Miller, who spoke during public comment, also advocated for greater transparency from the district. She said there should be a policy that informs parents of serious incidents while balancing students’ privacy. “This enables more constructive dialogue and reduces speculation, rumors and a proliferation of fear and anger stemming from lack of information,” Miller said. UnSuk Zucker, a district parent, thanked Smith for speaking out against the videos but said that they were “just the tip of the iceberg” and that it’s a symptom of systemic racism. Outcry Monday was in response to a second recent video of middle school students making videos of themselves expressing racist sentiments and posting them on social media. The most recent video is 35 seconds long and depicts at least two girls repeatedly blurting out variations of the “n-word,” according to the Rocky Mountain NAACP. The two girls are apparently drinking alcoholic beverages,” NAACP officials said, “and are students at Campus Middle School.” Another video that circulated in November on social media is of a boy saying a racial slur, and saying that Black people should “not be alive right now.” The child, a student at West Middle School, also in Greenwood Village, also said that he hates the color of their skin. Smith did not state at the board meeting if the students involved in the second video were disciplined. But district spokesperson Lau-

ren Snell confirmed later that the students were disciplined. When responding to the first video, the district said that the student faced “significant discipline,” but they cannot discuss specifics of discipline due to students’ privacy rights. “This has gone too far. We are calling for the parents of these young people to come meet with Rocky Mountain NAACP. We will not tolerate this behavior and it is time for the parents to come forward to apologize by action and word,” the Rocky Mountain NAACP said in a press statement on Nov. 30. “We are requesting the parents and young people to volunteer with the Rocky Mountain NAACP to progress our fight towards equity.” Rashad Younger, spokesperson for the Rocky Mountain NAACP said that as of Dec. 12, the organization is still trying to get in contact with the families and wants them to issue a public apology.

Aurora AANHPI community members join statewide demand for Gaza ceasefire Leaders and community members in Colorado’s Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander community are calling for a ceasefire in Palestine, a sentiment shared with many other world leaders. A coalition of AANHPI leaders presented a letter signed by over 200 community members – including from college students, educators and business owners – to Colorado congressional representatives. The letter demanded a call for a ceasefire in Palestine and to end military aid to Israel, according to a press statement the coalition released last week. “As Asian Americans, many of us come from lineages of colonization and military conquest throughout Asia. We know what occupation looks like. That’s an important priority for our coalition, ending the occupation in Palestine,” Daranee Teng, a Southeast Asian educational equity researcher-practitioner, said in the press statement. “Our diverse histories and experiences underscore our community’s commitment to advocating for justice, decolonization, and peace on a global scale.” Leaders with the coalition had an in-person meeting with Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, who represents Denver. They also spoke with a staff member who works with Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo, who represents new Colorado’s 8th congressional district north of the metroplex. The press statement did not say when community leaders met with DeGette. However, they wrote that during the hour-long meeting with her, she “committed to releasing a comprehensive statement calling for a ceasefire.” DeGette released a statement on Dec. 5 calling for a new peace agreement between Israel and Hamas.

the organization and the hotel. He also said that people have grown accustomed to coming to the Broadmoor. Convention pricing for Broadmoor rooms during the event start at $212 per night, plus taxes, and range to about $300 a night, plus taxes. Parking is extra, between $25 and $35 a day, according to the CASB convention website. Published rates for those rooms, posted earlier in the week on the hotel website booking page, showed rooms ranged from $255 a night to $400 a night. Pricing at nearby hotels in Colorado Springs, according to the convention website, varies.

At a Marriott hotel located about two miles away from the Broadmoor, the room rates are $110 per night. At the Cheyenne Mountain Resort, less than two miles from the Broadmoor, standard room rates are $145 per night. Nightly rates for some hotels near the Denver Convention Center, such as the Hyatt and Hilton hotels, range from $129 to $189 per night. At the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center in Aurora, rooms start at $324 per night. CASB does not provide any financial assistance to board directors who serve smaller school districts or who do not receive any stipends, but Yennie said that

there are different payment structures for members and non-members. The CASB website details costs for members to attend the convention from Thursday to Saturday. Prices start at $700 for members and $1,000 for non-members. This cost includes some meals such as a continental breakfast every day, some lunches, a networking luncheon and reception. “This is one of the premier education events for school boards. Superintendents also attend,” Yennie said. “From all the events that we have throughout the year, this is one of the better events we have for learning, for school leaders.”

tences about the ongoing conflict. The coalition leaders said that her statement “fell short” of calling for a ceasefire. They also met with Caraveo’s legislative director, Ben Harrison. Harrison told the coalition leaders that Caraveo was not interested in supporting a ceasefire, that she supported sending military aid to Israel and was supportive of “replenishing the Iron Dome.” “Representative Caraveo campaigned last year on a platform centered on amplifying the voices of working-class and marginalized communities,” the press statement said. “With a background as a pediatrician, the Representative has shared concerns over the challenges within our own medical system. Upon learning of the Congresswoman’s position, the coalition expressed disappointment over her unilateral support for Israel and lack of action regarding the public health crisis in Gaza.” Coalition leaders are in the process of a scheduling a meeting with Democratic Rep. Brittany Pettersen, and have not received any response from Representative Joe Neguse “despite consistent outreach,” according to the press statement.

loan.” It helps employees, especially those with bad credit, avoid exorbitant interest rates when they’re in crisis. He said about 15 employees at two participating Denver area child care centers have taken advantage of the loans, most often for housing costs. Borrowers don’t have to say why they’re seeking the loan, but many do later in voluntary surveys, he said. Jones said that although the loan benefit was offered free to child care providers through the CIRCLE grant, many didn’t take advantage of it because there were so many CIRCLE grant opportunities and offers at the same time. “It needs to be staggered out longer,” Jones said. Stedron, of Early Milestones, agreed that the one-year grant timeline was too short. “I wish they could have gone on forever, certainly more than one year,” she said. — ANN SCHIMKE, Colorado Chalkbeat

state. The projects included weekly bilingual preschool classes for Armenian-American children, a training program for Head Start parents working as classroom aides, and a loan program to help child care employees cover emergency expenses. While the grant funding represents a fraction of the $678 million in federal COVID relief sent to Colorado’s early childhood sector, program leaders are proud of the grassroots efforts it sparked. “Once again, we are seeing that folks that are closest to the problems have the best solutions,” said Jennifer Stedron, executive director of Early Milestones Colorado, which distributed the CIRCLE grants. The yearlong grants ranged from $10,000 to $300,000. Many of them focused on making child care more accessible to families. In some cases, that meant creating new infant and toddler classrooms or sending mobile preschools to underserved neighborhoods. In others, the goal was to better meet specific needs, say, by adding programs for bilingual students or children with disabilities. The nonprofit Armenians of Colorado Inc. used its $35,000 CIRCLE grant to pilot a free Saturday preschool class that incorporated both English and Armenian. A dozen children attended the program last spring at the First Baptist Church of Denver, some who didn’t know a word of Armenian and some who spoke only Armenian. They listened to poems and stories in Armenian and also did activities in English, including one on the Easter bunny. The idea was to “show the kids you can use both languages to have academic and social interactions,”

said Simon Maghakyan, an activist in the Armenian community and a CIRCLE Grant consultant for Armenians of Colorado. “It’s important they see value in both.” Some of the children, who ranged in age from 2 to 5, had never attended any kind of preschool, he said. For most, it was “their first introduction to either language in the written form.” The two languages have different alphabets. The Armenian community has deep roots in Colorado, with some of the earliest immigrants arriving in the late 1800s. Statewide, there are about 5,000 people of Armenian descent. The Armenian Genocide during the World War I era, as well as more recent displacements, have gradually brought more Armenians to the United States and Colorado. But it’s still a relatively small group, and because of assimilation pressures and the dominance of English globally, it can be a struggle to maintain the Armenian language, Maghakyan said. That’s why the Saturday preschool program is important. The CIRCLE grant supplied only enough money to plan and run a three-month pilot, but leaders with the organization hope to find a way to keep it going in the future. Besides funding new programming for children, many CIRCLE grant projects focused on supporting the chronically underpaid early childhood workforce with increased wages, training, or other benefits. The Denver nonprofit WorkLife Partnership used its CIRCLE grant to offer a program that’s usually available to employers for a fee to child care providers free of charge. The program helps employees quickly access small loans at a lower interest rate than payday lenders would charge. The process is simple: Employ-

ees struggling with a large or unexpected expense, such as a security deposit, utility bill, or car repair, can request a $1,000 loan through WorkLife with no credit check or collateral requirement. The money lands in their bank account in as little as 24 hours. They then pay back the loan through monthly payroll deductions over the course of a year. With interest and a $20 administrative fee, the total repayment on a $1,000 loan is $1,116. Logan Jones, financial services manager for WorkLife, said, “it’s really designed to be an anti-payday

s is almost customary in recent years, the Cherry Creek co-op and Regis Jesuit ice hockey teams played to an overtime tie in their first meeting of the 2023-24 season. The Bruins and Raiders skated to a 2-2 deadlock after 56 minutes of hockey at the Family Sports Center Dec. 9, which will be the last time the teams see each other until the ICE HOCKEY rematch on the same ice on Feb. 2.

nals to rival and eventual state champion Valor Christian. Though they graduated their top two goal scorers, the Raiders come back particuarly strong at forward, with the returning players including senior Ian Beck, who led the team with 16 assists last season to go with eight goals. Junior Parker Brinner — who assisted on a goal that gave the Raiders a double-overtime win over Monarch in the quarterfinals last season — tied with Beck for second on the team with eight goals last season as well. Junior Nolan Williams (who also had a goal in the quarterfinal game) is

Skate expectations By that time, both coach Terry Ott’s Regis Jesuit team and coach Jeff Mielnicki’s Cherry Creek squad could be gearing up for postseason runs. Both believe they have the talent and chemistry to be playing deep in the playoffs. They came into the season ranked Nos. 3 and 7, respectively, in the Colorado High School Activities Association’s preseason BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor coaches poll. Neither program is a stranger to high expectations, especially at Regis Jesuit, where Ott is in his second season as head coach after he moved up from assistant to the top spot in place of retired original coach Dan Woodley. The Raiders have made it to the Frozen Four 15 times in the past 16 seasons and returned to the semifinals a year ago after missing out in the 202122 season. The program remains in second place all-time in Colorado with six state championships, which trails only Cheyenne Mountain (15). Regis Jesuit returns seven players from last season’s team that lost by a goal in the semifi-

also back. Junior Vincent Cieslak has three goals in Regis Jesuit’s first two games. Senior Dhilan Paranjape and junior Zachary Lorenzo will be keys on defense, where the Raiders lost a good deal of experience, including captain Chase Patterson. The unit will be counted on to help make life easier on talented freshman Easton Sparks, who takes over in the net. Sparks flashed in his first two varsity games with a combined 54 saves (on 57 shots against) against two top-10 programs in Ralston Valley and Cherry Creek. “I like our leadership and expect this year’s team to compete for our seventh state championship,” Ott said. Cherry Creek — which combines players from Cherry Creek, Cherokee Trail, Eaglecrest and Grandview high schools — finished 12-8-1 last season and got stopped in the quarterfinals with an agonizing overtime loss to Ralston Valley. The Bruins graduated their leading scorer, top presence on the back line and regular goaltender, but bring back an experienced group that

Mielnicki believes is loaded with both skill and speed, while also strong defensively. Senior Eric Burggraf (Grandview) has two goals on the young season and both have been big, a game-winner in the third period to lift the Bruins over Monarch and a power play goal with less than four minutes left in regulation to create the tie with Regis Jesuit. He is back along with seniors Dominic Suchkov (who had nine goals and seven assists last season), Charles Keating (Cherokee Trail) and Daniil Korobeynikov. The defense has very experienced presence in senior Billy O’Grady (Grandview), who is in his fourth season with the Cherry Creek varsity team and brings a blend of size and skill (five goals, three assists), along with three-year letterman Ethan Robbins. Seniors Jack Ryan and Dylan Eldridge (Cherokee Trail) and sophomore Mason Banks give the Bruins a number of options in the net. “Based on how we played in the fall, this team has really a ton of potential,” Mielnicki said. “We don’t really have the one guy you are going to have to rely on every night, it’s going to be a community effort.” For more on each team and a recap of the Cherry Creek and Regis Jesuit contest, visit aurorasentinel.com/preps

oftball diamonds around Aurora were filled with gems during the 2023 season, which contributed to some high level play. In all, three city teams — Cherokee Trail, Eaglecrest and Grandview — had memorable seasons that ended at the Class 5A state softball tournament, with the Cougars and Wolves tasting victory once to finish among the final eight temas left standing at the Aurora Sports Park. Those programs and a few others are represented well on the 2023 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Softball Teams, which are selected by the Sentinel in conjuction ALL-AURORA SOFTBALL with balloting of city coaches.

to spoil off pitches, while she accrued an average of .458, had 14 extra-base hits and collected 36 RBI, third-most among locals. Grandview also had its hitting shoes on frequently, as coach Liz Carter’s group — which tied Cherokee Trail for the most wins among Aurora teams with 20 — put up an average of eight-plus runs per contest. The Wolves were potent up and down the lineup, but got especially dangerous in the middle in the form of senior third baseman Kristin Gallego, who was voted Co-Centennial League Player of the Year and made CHSAA’s All-State Second Team. Gallego collected 41 hits in her 82 atbats — for a .500 average — and 17 of those hits went for extra bases. She was particularly good at driving the ball over the fence, which she did an Aurora-best nine times, which put her in a tie for 11th in 5A. Gallego also finished with the city’s second-most RBI with 41. The Wolves’ slew of other talented hitters included sophomore Sasha Kennedy, who moved to shortstop from the outfield position she played as a freshman. The left-handed hitting Kennedy put pressure on opposing defenses from the opening pitch of every game and she tied for second among Aurora players with 45 hits, which included eight doubles and four triples, while she also had a .500 batting average. Her 33 singles often ended up as at least doubles as she stole 26 bases (Aurora’s third-highest total) and scored 41 runs to finish just outside the top 10 in 5A. Behind the plate, senior Peytann Weiland helped Grandview’s trio of pitchers and also contributed significantly on offense. She pounded out 14 doubles among 37 hits, collected a .446 average and drove in 24 runs. Regis Jesuit got softball back at the varsity level after a one-year absence and senior Natalie Shellhorn was crucial to the reestablishement that earned the program a spot in 5A regionals. Shellhorn — a Metro State recruit who played at Thomas Jefferson last season — racked up 31 hits for the season, reached base nearly 60 percent of the time and scored 31 runs.

Diamond shine The common denominator among Aurora’s state qualifiers was the ability to hit, as each possessed offenses that could erupt at any time. That was definitely the case for Cherokee Trail, as coach Caley Mitchell’s team piled up 312 runs in 28 games for an average of more than 11 per contest. The Cougars could clearly swing it, especially in the heart of the lineBY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor up, where junior shortstop Kennedy Brian and senior first baseman Kiki Pryor resided. Brian —who approached every at-bat with a smile on her face — was absolutely nails in clutch situations and appeared up and down the leaderboard among Aurora offensive players. She boasted a batting average of .519 that led her team and was the fifth-highest among city players, while she far and away drove in the most runs of any local (a whopping 54, which ranked No. 4 in 5A), while she scored 43 runs to rank ninth in 5A and homered five times, a number bettered by only four other local players. Pryor — a Colorado High School ACtivities Association 5A second team all state selection — actually scored three more runs than Bryan and did so with an exceptional ability to get on base, as she had a remarkable .591 on base percentage.

he 2023 season turned out to be one of the most successful as a whole around Aurora, especially at the end, when two teams made it to the penultimate day. Cherokee Trail and Regis Jesuit each made spirited runs to the Class 5A semifinals — both lost in agonizing fashion, the Cougars on a golden goal in double overtime and the Raiders on penalty kicks — but plenty of the talent from both teams boosts the 2023 Aurora Sentinel ALL-AURORA BOYS SOCCER All-Aurora Boys Soccer Team.

Wolf’s Raiders. De Simone was an All-Continental League second team pick for regular season play, but he picked things up in the postseason as he scored four of the seven goals Regis Jesuit had in four playoff games (including the only goal in an upset win over Cherry Creek) to finish with 15 on the season, second only to Romero among locals and a massive climb from his one goal in 2022 in limited action. The CHSAA All-State second team pick also had four assists for a total of 34 points. The All-Aurora midfield includes Regis Jesuit junior Charles Sharp, who was the only other player besides Romero and De Simone to get into double figures in goals as he scored 11. His goals were spread among six games, but seven came in hat tricks against Chaparral and Douglas County, while he paced his team with five assists as well. Senior midfielder Marcelo Ruiz was vital to Cherokee Trail taking the next step as a program to reach the semifinals for the first time. The Cougars only had to look to the steady Ruiz in high pressure situations and he was instrumental tactically as well for coach Mark Hill’s’ team. In his fourth varsity season, Ruiz finished with a career-high seven goals, tied his best mark with four assists and accrued 18 points. The All-Centennial League first team performer scored a game-winning playoff goal against Rampart on a long free kick attempt and also converted an opportunity in the semifinals against Broomfield in a contest the Cougars lost 2-1. The CHSAA All-State second teamer also notched four assists. Both semifinalists had strong defenses and some of those members appear on the All-Aurora team in Regis Jesuit senior Ladd Hubka and Cherokee Trail senior Miles Philson. Hubka was an All-Continental League first team performer for a second straight season and helped his team dominate opponents on balls in the air. Philson — who simultaneously was a place kicker on the Cherokee Trail football team — was a physical, savvy member of the Cougars’ back line and earned All-Centennial League first team accolades from league coaches.

Peak on pitch The All-Aurora team — which is picked by the Sentinel in conjuction with balloting of city coaches — features a good collection of talent from across the city, as a large host of players earned all-conference selections among the Centennial, City, Colorado and Continental leagues in which Aurora programs played. The All-Aurora team BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor definitely packs plenty of offense punch, beginning with senior forward Cesar Romero of Aurora Central. The Trojans were one of the best stories of the season, as Rudy Villalobos came on as head coach and put together a cohesive team that won the Colorado League championship and made it to the second round of the 5A state playoffs. Romero spent just one season with Aurora Central, but he made a major impact with great speed and composure. He earned Colorado League Player of the Year and CHSAA All-State first team honors with a season in which he accrued a city-best 49 points with an Aurora-high 21 goals, which put him second in all of 5A. Eight of his tallies came in head-to-head matchups with other Aurora programs. Additionally, Romero’s seven assists tied for him for second in Aurora (with sophomore teammate Anthony Cecina Cervantes). Next among goal scorers in Aurora was Regis Jesuit junior striker Jack De Simone, who was a major driving force behind the push to the semifinals for the first time since 2019 for coach Rick

Eaglecrest finishes hip hop 3-peat, Cherokee Trail wins 5A cheer A number of state spirit champions were crowned in a variety of categories Dec. 7-9 at the Denver Coliseum and two of the title winners hailed from the Aurora area. The Eaglecrest hip hop team’s dynastic grip on the discipline continued Dec. 9, as the Raptors completed a three-peat with a competition-best score of 90.975 to finish in front of Arapahoe (90.65) and Broomfield (90.025). It was a big jump in score for coach Cayla Warneke’s team, which was the top qualifier in the semifinals at 86.525. Eaglecrest has now ruled the hip hop category four times in the past five seasons and it has helped to boost the school’s traditionally strong spirit program to 15 all-time state titles. A day earlier, Cherokee Trail captured the Class 5A all-girl state cheer championship with a tight victory that brought the program’s first state title since 2017. Coach Kelsey Goodson’s Cougars earned a score of 91.5 points to edge both Douglas County and Chaparral, which each scored 91.2. Grandview also made the finals and scored 90.4 to place fifth.

DEFENDING DEFENDERS

Opposition mounts to Aurora council’s exploration of privatizing public defense ›› FULL STORY ON 16

16 | SENTINELCOLORADO.COM | DECEMBER 14, 2023

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

s the Aurora City Council prepares to finalize its bidding process for private lawyers to take over the work of the Public Defender’s Office, opponents both inside and outside of the city have begun campaigning against the change, saying privatization would jeopardize the legal rights of Aurora’s poorest residents. The council finalized details of the requests for proposals — known as an RFP — at its Dec. 11 study session, with critics insisting the city do more to ensure any analysis takes in a wide range of considerations. At the group’s last meeting, public defenders and others again showed up during the opening public comment period to protest privatization. “It’s disheartening as a resident to hear that the city’s elected officials don’t seem to take their constitutional duties to provide good and effective assistance of counsel to our neighbors as something to be defended and to be held precious,” said Tasha Steward, a chief public defender in Aurora who said she was speaking on her own behalf, on Dec. 4. Supporters of the item have stressed that the council’s vote on Oct. 9 was not a commitment to eliminating the office, but only a request for bids to see if private lawyers can do the work of public defense more cheaply. Opponents, in the meantime, have described the move as a calculated first step toward reducing the quality of legal representation offered to poor defendants. “I don’t know what people are so afraid of with doing this RFP,” Councilmember Dustin Zvonek said Nov. 27 when the RFP was challenged during a discussion about the city’s 2024 budget. “If they’re so confident that it’s going to show that there is no savings, then let’s just hurry up and get it done so that we can move on with this. But my assumption is that they’re fearful that it will, in fact, show a significant cost savings, and that will lead to us having the responsibility of asking the question of

whether or not we should go to a contract basis.” Zvonek is sponsoring the search for alternatives to Aurora’s Public Defender’s Office –– a proposal that so far has earned the support of council conservatives and the consternation of progressives, public defenders and outside attorneys. The office is slated to have an operating budget of about $2.26 million out of a general fund budget of about $508.79 million in 2024. Last fall, a subcommittee of the Citizens’ Advisory Budget Committee also suggested that the city look into handing the work of public defense over to outside attorneys. This week, critics told city lawmakers that a preliminary internal analysis offered to lawmakers earlier this year estimated an approximate $1 million in annual city savings by essentially privatizing the public defender unit. Chief Public Defender Elizabeth Cadiz said the document is fraught with errors. “This is not a study,” Cadiz said Monday. Jono Scott — the chairman of the committee, who also ran unsuccessfully for City Council this year — said at the time that Aurora should look into how other municipal courts in Colorado satisfy the constitutional requirement that defendants facing jail time have access to a lawyer. To qualify for public defense in Aurora, defendants, generally, can make no more than $1,519 per month, for a single-family household. A family of four, under the federal court guidelines, can make no more than $3,125 per month, according to Aurora public defender office officials. Cadiz said her staff can appeal the limits for applicants who are near the thresholds, perhaps by a few hundred dollars. Scott specifically mentioned Colorado Springs, which pays private attorneys flat fees for two hours of work on each case assigned to them, as an alternative. “All of those other cities, are they onto something?,” Scott asked in 2022. “We need public defenders. We’re not suggesting to get rid of public defense. That’s constitutional. That’s something we need. But what we’re asking is, ‘Can it be done in a more efficient way?’”

Then-Chief Public Defender Doug Wilson said he did not believe Colorado Springs was comparable, as that city’s court does not handle the serious and complex cases sometimes heard in Aurora’s municipal court. While the city council majority expressed its support for analyzing the cost of the change, that analysis was either not done nor was rolled into a larger workload study. The topic came up again at a budget workshop in September. In October, the council’s conservative majority voted to move forward with a request for proposals. Conservatives said at the time that they would weigh the services offered by bidders against the work that is currently done by the Public Defender’s Office. But public defenders and other council members said they were worried indigent defendants will slip through the cracks if their cases are left to attorneys who are incentivized to wrap things up quickly with a plea deal. “It’s a big risk to take,” Cadiz said Oct. 9. “Your decision will, in fact, affect an entire department full of full-time employees who work here and are good at what they do, and are providing a constitutionally-required service to this city.” The council’s vote on Oct. 9 may have set the request for proposal in motion, but criticism of the proposal has continued, with council members taking the opportunity of recent votes on the budget to express their concerns. “This was done for vindictive reasons,” then-Councilmember Juan Marcano said Nov. 27. “We had members of the Public Defender’s Office, including our former chief public defender, come out against some of the policy proposals that Councilmember Zvonek brought forward. This has nothing to do with good government. It has everything to do with political retribution.” Zvonek said Marcano’s allegations about his motives were untrue. Last month, Councilmember Alison Coombs hosted a forum at City Hall, inviting legal experts to weigh

in on the proposal and other communities’ experiences privatizing public defense. Speakers said the two most common models for a privatized system either result in higher costs for cities, such as when private attorneys are paid per hour of time spent on a case, or lackluster representation for poor defendants, specifically when lawyers are paid a predetermined amount per case regardless of the amount of work they do. “If you’re doing it to cut costs, then you’re going to undercut the indigent defense function,” said Eve Primus, a professor of law at the University of Michigan. “If you do it in a way that is designed to provide constitutionally-adequate representation, it will wind up costing more than an institutional public defender because those systems are just less efficient and less effective.” She brought up how the American Bar Association in the 1980s raised concerns about cities bidding out public defender services because of the incentive for lawyers to “reduce service to the lowest level in order to obtain a contract,” according to the association. Speakers also talked about other benefits of having an in-house office, like having attorneys who know how to navigate specialty courts that divert offenders to social services rather than prison and who are familiar with patterns of unprofessional behavior by police and prosecutors. Private defense attorney Casey Krizman told city lawmakers at the Dec. 4 meeting that private-practice defenders don’t want indigent cases. Krizman previously worked in the Aurora public defender office. “The citizens of Aurora need to know that this proposal is not in their best interest,” Krizman said. “The experienced lawyers in the (public defender) office are much more effective than any plan that includes contract attorneys would be.” Krizman said navigating the city’s “notorious” bureaucracy and processes is facilitated by a regular defense team and an impediment to a good defense by naive newcomer attorneys. Last year, the Public Defender’s Office uncovered

a yearslong failure by the City Attorney’s Office to notify defense attorneys when police officers with demonstrated credibility issues were involved in criminal cases, which CU Law professor Ann England speculated after the forum could be motivating council members sympathetic to prosecutors to try to outsource public defense. Among those present at the Nov. 15 forum were Cadiz, Councilmember Alison Coombs and Tom Tobiassen, chairperson of the Aurora Public Defender Commission, which oversees the city office. The commission has since come out to formally oppose the city’s request for proposal, writing in a Dec. 4 letter to the council that multiple studies have shown that privatized models tend to be more expensive when considering how often defendants under those models are incarcerated and how long it takes for their cases to make it through the court system. “Due to … efficiencies of scale and the quality of representation provided, the Aurora Public Defender’s Office is considered a model for other large municipal public defender’s offices around the country,” the letter states, mentioning how the National Legal Aid & Defenders Association recognized the office in 2021 as “a model municipal court public defense system.” The debate has drawn the attention of state lawmakers and advocacy groups critical of the council’s decision, including the American Civil Liberties Union, which said in a social media post that privatizing public defense would allow other elements of the city’s criminal justice system to “operate without any accountability or transparency.” State Rep. Mike Weissman, D-Aurora, last week stressed that providing high-quality legal representation for defendants also benefits crime victims by preventing defendants from appealing a guilty verdict on the grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel. “Everybody else in the criminal legal system, and frankly the broader community, should also have an interest in robust indigent defense,” Weissman said. “No survivor of crime wants a protracted process in terms of appeals and so forth. So we should be mind-

ful of things that might tend to draw things out, and not having the best defense that we can in the first instance is going to be prone to draw that out.” Still, conservatives have insisted critics have been prematurely jumping to conclusions about what the council will decide and what impacts a shift toward private attorneys handling public defense would have. “This is being made into a constitutional rights violation, like we’re trying to do away with public defenders altogether,” Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said Nov. 13. “There are multiple cities that have private defense. … All this is is an RFP. That’s all it is.”

Decking the small halls WHEN THERE’S LOTS OF HOLIDAY SPIRIT BUT NOT MUCH SPACE

BY KIM COOK, Associated Press

It seems like the frost hasn’t even hit the pumpkin before “holiday cheer” starts showing up everywhere, from social media feeds to the aisles of CVS. Tis the season to decorate. But if you’re in a small apartment, there are limits to what you can do. A full-size artificial tree might take up half a room. You might have limited shelving for trinkets. How can you let your holiday flag fly when you don’t have much space to do it? Here are some seasonal style ideas that max the merry but won’t eat the room. And that store easily.

SET THE STAGE

ADD SENSORY AMBIENCE

GET UP OFF THE FLOOR

A monochromatic palette is a good place to start, says Todd Carr, who runs the botanicals and homewares shop Hort & Pott in Freehold, New York, with partner Taylor Harrington. “It helps keep the holiday décor cohesive and ties together pretty much whatever you do. I love green on green, for example – but take inspiration from your space,” Carr says. Think stacks of books, a scarf, and ornamental design elements like candlesticks and natural or faux greenery. No room for even that? “Just adding bows and streamers of ribbon in your color will add a festive feeling to a tight space,” Carr says.

“A warm glow is key to a cozy, wintry mood,” says Carr. Try switching lamp bulbs with high wattage or cool light to ones that cast a more golden glow. The softer light makes even the sparest of holiday décor feel homier. Scents can also bring home a nostalgic holiday vibe. Nest New York’s Holiday wall diffuser refill combines pomegranate, mandarin, pine, cloves, cinnamon and vanilla into an aroma that’s spicy and seasonal. Spices, musk and golden amber evoke a nice vibe in Pura’s Winter Noir diffuser refill.

“Use your walls and ceiling to get festive,” advises Carr. “Garlands are gorgeous draped on bookshelves or chandeliers. And wreaths aren’t just for the front door. Suspend a foraged pine branch over the dining table with some cup hooks and floral wire, and decorate it as you would a tree. “Or put a potted amaryllis in a hanging planter, and fill the base with evergreens for an uplighting, magical arrangement that takes up little space.” Tempaper’s Scandinavian Holiday tree decal has folk-arty Nordic Christmas ornaments like reindeer, hares, stars and stockings instead of branches. It’s large enough to take the place of a real tree, and the peel-and-stick feature lets you lift it off the wall easily when the season’s over. Unless you love it so much you decide to leave it up all year as artwork. There’s a white winter village set here, too, that works nicely on a window, as well as removable decals of illustrated laurel branches, wreaths and a pretty Festival of Lights menorah.

DECOR THAT STORES WELL Flat-pack ornaments that don’t need to be protectively stowed in a special container are a boon to small spacers. For instance, Loll Designs’ minimalist, contemporary Christmas trees and reindeer fit together with simple slots, and are easy to stash under a bed or behind a cupboard. Magic Ornaments has sets of glitter- and mirror-finish ornaments; pull the drawstring and you’ve got a 3-D decoration. Each set comes with balls, stars, angels, snowflakes, a tree topper and 40 feet of ribbon garland. When the holiday’s done, everything flattens back down to be stored in a cardboard envelope.

BRING IN SPARKLE Brynn Whitfield, a star of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of New York City,” has a social media following for photos of her one-bedroom Manhattan apartment. She says small square footage shouldn’t stop you from celebrating. “Get clever with surfaces! Guests truly don’t care about the size of your table or how big your tree is. You can impress them with the right decorative pieces,” she says. “Everything looks better when the presentation’s good.” CB2 has a new collection of transparent, opaque, and reflective glass and metallic ornaments that give traditional holiday motifs a fresh twist. There are amber glass balls that look like bubbly champagne; a trio of modern pines in smoky hues; milky-white glass snowmen; stainless steel orbs; and mini presents in mirror-finished steel. Artificial trees with a slim profile work well in apartments. Get one pre-lit so you don’t have to store bulky light strings. Balsam Hill’s got a Norway Spruce, for instance, that comes with it’s own zippered storage bag. CB2 has a super-slim one in several different heights. You don’t have to load up a tree with ornaments, either.

t. Nicholas was a fourth century Christian bishop from the Mediterranean port city of Myra (in modern-day Turkey). “Much of the rest is legend. There’s not really a lot of hard historical evidence about St. Nicholas,” said the Rev. Nicholas Ayo, author of “Saint Nicholas in America: Christmas Holy Day and Holiday.” But whether the stories are true is not so much the point, said Ayo, an 89-year-old retired Notre Dame University professor named after St. Nicholas. “There’s no Santa Claus that lands on the roof, but there’s a desire in people’s heart for an unconditional love that doesn’t depend on

WHEN IS ST. NICHOLAS DAY CELEBRATED? St. Nicholas Day is celebrated every year on Dec. 6, typically by filling the stockings and shoes children leave out overnight with sweets and toys. It also is a fitting date for the patron saint of sailors. “The December feast day of Saint Nicholas coincides with the beginning of the winter storm season on the Mediterranean,” Ayo writes.

WHAT ARE THE LEGENDS OF ST. NICK?

In the time of Nick

your behavior, but the fact that you’re somebody’s child.” Devotion to St. Nicholas — also referred to as St. Nick — spread during the Middle Ages across Europe and he became a favorite subject for medieval artists and liturgical plays, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. He is the patron saint of BY LUIS ANDRES HENAO, Associated Press Greece and Russia, Moscow and New York, as well as charities, children and pawnbrokers. He also is the patron saint of sailors. In 1807, Italian sailors took the remains of St. Nicholas from Myra to the seaport of Bari, on the southeast coast of the boot of Italy. They built a church in his honor; relics believed to be his are kept in the Bari’s 11th century basilica of San Nicola.

HOW DID ST. NICK INSPIRE AMERICA’S SANTA CLAUS FIGURE?

Legends surrounding St. Nicholas’ generosity appear in texts ranging from medieval manuscripts to modern-day poems, including how he interceded on behalf of wrongly condemned prisoners and miraculously saved sailors from storms. One of the most famous legends, Ayo said, features the aging father of three young women who didn’t have means to pay for their dowry. St. Nicholas is said to have thrown gold pieces into the man’s window. “It is the quintessential Nicholas,” Ayo writes. “It requires no miracle, no credulity from the hearer, and no superstition at any level. What is needed is only a generous heart ready to give of his wealth in a self-effacing way that others may come to know a deep love in their life.”

Devotion to St. Nicholas seems to have faded after the 16th century Protestant Reformation, except in the Netherlands where his legend remained as Sinterklaas. In the 17th century, Dutch Protestants who settled in New York brought the Sinterklaas tradition with them. “The Dutch had St. Nicholas on the bow of the first ship that went into New York harbor,” Ayo said. Eventually, St. Nicholas morphed into the secular Santa Claus. Artist Thomas Nast, an engraver in Morristown, New Jersey, who illustrated the front cover of Harper’s magazine for many years, played a key role in the transformation, Ayo said. “He followed the description of Santa Claus or Saint Nicholas — and Clement Clarke Moore’s ‘Twas the Night before Christmas’ poem,” Ayo says. “So, that’s how that got changed. But in Europe, the bishop shows up in bishop’s clothing at the door sometimes.”
