Read it and weep. Despite years of proof white privilege commentary prevails

ou don’t have to look any further than the comments made in and about the final courtroom chapter of the Elijah McClain killing to understand the depth of the problem, and how little progress Aurora has made.

Late last Friday, after weeks of the third trial in the 2019 death of McClain at the hands of police and rescuers, two paramedics were convicted of criminally negligent homicide for giving the 26-year-old Black man a needless and fatal dose of ketamine.

The case of McClain — accosted and killed walking home while being Black — has waxed polarizing virtually from the day he was killed.

Comments in last week’s Sentinel story about the courtroom finale paint a distressing picture of reality.

Few things say “white privilege” more than this frequent comment, registered again in the story this week: “How sad that McClain did not simply comply, as I and everyone I know would,” one Sentinel reader said. “McClain intentionally escalated the situation. Comply now, complain later. Take it to court for an injustice.”

I cannot begin to count how many times white readers have lobbed that chestnut in the Sentinel and about similar stories across the country.

Lots of white people blame McClain’s death on his own behavior, rather than that of the cops who accosted him.

McClain, who had no previous recorded police encounters, had walked from his north Aurora apartment to a nearby gas station for cans of iced tea. A passerby in a car called police to say a Black guy appeared sketchy. When officer Nathan Woodyard rolled up just seconds later, he aggressively got out of the car, in the dark, yelling at McClain in a tone of voice that could mean death to Black people.

And it did.

“Comply now. Complain later.”

That’s something only the white and lucky get to say. If you believe that Black people bring on their deaths from police by not complying with orders, you don’t know any Black people.

Let me offer, for example, a man I know who is nearly annoying by how close he plays everything to the vest. Rico Munn is a rule player among rule players. He’s a lawyer. He was a key bureaucrat in the Colorado state government. He ran Aurora Public Schools and exuded “play by the rules.”

“I am a Black man in America who holds a position of relative authority and privilege,” Munn wrote in an essay for the Sentinel in 2020. “I love this country. America has afforded me the opportunity to worship as I please; to get a college degree and a law degree. In America, I have been able to earn a living, marry the girl of my dreams, raise two beautiful children and participate in the civic and cultural life of my community. But also in America, I have been spit on, called a nigger, harassed by the police, denied opportunities and watched Black friends and loved ones systematically jailed, impoverished and dehumanized. My relationship with America is complicated; I am outraged by injustice but never surprised by it.”

So when a petrified 26-year-old Black adolescent was unexpectedly accosted by an aggressive white cop in the dark on the way home, terror and then begging for life was hardly inappropriate.

Now, paramedic experts say last week’s conviction will have a “chilling effect” on how other paramedics treat Black people in similar situations.

“The outcome could set a precedent for how emergency personnel respond to situations with people in police custody,” University of Miami criminologist Alex Piquero told the Associated Press. “They could be hesitant. They could say, ‘I’m not going to do anything’ or ‘I’m going to do less. I don’t want to be found guilty.’”

Yes, please. That’s the point. Aurora paramedics Peter Cichuniec and Jeremy Cooper rolled up on the scene well underway. Rather than make independent assessments of what had happened before they came upon a nearly unconscious, incoherent Black man who had been in a struggle with police who, without cause, confronted him, they adopted a story provided by an adversary to McClain.

Had the Aurora paramedics approached the Aurora police with the same skepticism they used to diagnose McClain, he’d be alive today.

The nation wants paramedics to back off from rushing onto a scene and acting on the propaganda or disinformation provided by police without making their own sober assessment and plan of action based on science, reality and best medical practices.

Another Sentinel reader said Friday’s conviction was “dangerous state level political intervention” in a case of what was at worst just “medical malpractice.”

Medical malpractice is when a patient sues because someone left a sponge in his abdomen after removing his appendix.

McClain was innocently, literally, walking home when he was assailed by cops, pummeled by them, choked by them to the point of collapse, essentially forced to drown in his own vomit, then accosted by two medics who complicity not only poisoned him with a needless and ill-advised dose of ketamine, but they lethally injected him with an overdose.

The prevailing attitude among critics of the trial and its outcome is that McClain somehow caused his own death.

He had it coming.

I can guarantee you that if McClain had been a 26-yearold white massage therapist, like McClain, a white teacher or a white accountant, he would have survived the encounter.

The passerby probably would never have called dispatchers. And if he did, the police would have approached and handled the confrontation completely differently. And even if they didn’t, a white car salesman might have been aggravated by the nonsense but not afraid for his life. Cops don’t kill white men for walking home at night with cans of iced tea, even if they get upset during a confrontation.

Even if the white guy panicked and police believed they needed to subdue him, rather than just let him go or call in de-escalation experts, paramedics would have acted differently. They almost certainly would have assessed the situation themselves, asking him questions, taking his pulse and working to calm him down without an overdose of tranquilizers.

White people can deceive themselves over what this is about, but the numbers don’t lie. Despite being a vast minority, Black people either die or are injured at the hands of police more than twice the rate than white people who encounter police, in Aurora and across the nation.

That’s true even if they’re carrying home the same cans of iced tea from the same store.

People may have differing views of the McClain death, but there’s only one reality.

Public scrutiny keeps all government honest

N

othing prevents government mistrust, malfeasance or corruption like transparency, and government from the state level down to the most local levels are due for increased public scrutiny.

As the 2024 legislative session gears up, the public will be looking for like-minded lawmakers to improve on Colorado’s strong open records and meeting laws, which sets Colorado apart from many other states.

The touchstone for all changes to open meetings and records laws is clear and unequivocal: The rule must always ensure that all records are open to public inspection, and all meetings must be held for public observation — with onus for exceptions being set upon the government.

All government business is public business, except when publication, release or inspection clearly, logically and undeniably undermines public benefit. An example of that is allowing elected government officials to negotiate contracts outside of public view in order to protect the public interest in real estate and similar transactions.

Governments have routinely, however, illegally used the cloak of secrecy to avoid public scrutiny, often for political gain.

Here are some problem areas that need to be addressed by state legislators in the upcoming session based on problems exposed this year by the Sentinel, other media and open-government activists.

The cost of acquiring open records is excessive and prohibits badly needed public scrutiny. The Sentinel this year spent several thousand dollars to acquire a trove of government records that exposed a wide variety of problems inside all kinds of government agencies.

Dozens of records requests revealed that Aurora police continue to hire and rehire cops with troubled work histories, as revealed in the Sentinel’s “In The Blue” series earlier this year. Likewise, a collaborative investigation among media statewide spent months and more thousands of dollars to obtain police records showing how some officers and agencies step around recent police accountability laws in a recent “Undisciplined” investigative series. As Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition Executive Director Jeff Roberts recently pointed out, the 2023 Legislature did not address “the No. 1 barrier to obtaining public records in Colorado — exorbitant fees.”

The state permits state and local governments to charge a stunning $33.58 per hour to provide even simple record requests about how tax dollars are spent, by whom and who that money goes to. Police internal matters, meeting records of all kinds of records that require Colorado Open Records Act requests will cost even more next year, when cities, counties and school districts can begin charging $41 an hour to provide even simple records.

The cost of providing public records should be a budgeted part of every government agency, just as is the cost of creating and maintaining public records. Any cost, attributable to copying or transmitting, should be nominal. These records belong to the public, not government officials.

Last month, the Aurora Sentinel prevailed in an open-meeting related lawsuit against the City of Aurora. The Colorado Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the city council did, indeed, as alleged by the Sentinel, meet illegally in 2022 when council members in a closed meeting agreed to end censure proceedings against a city council member.

The Sentinel is still waiting for the recording of the closed meeting — which the court says the city must turn over to the Sentinel and the public. However, after suing for access to the recording in district court and then appealing to the court of appeals, the high court refused to allow the Sentinel to recoup reasonable attorney fees from the city. The Sentinel lost on what appears to be a technicality that the Sentinel is a newspaper and not a person.

The Sentinel, as have other state media, made the case that reimbursing attorney feeds is warranted, just not technically possible. The Sentinel was only able to press for the public’s ability to review a secret recording because of the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press, providing extensive legal counsel. Without the legal assistance from this vital group, the important work of scrutinizing public meetings and records would be impossible. Reimbursing individual media or their legal benefactors is crucial and an easy law for legislators to change.

And at the end of the year, the Sentinel followed local school districts to join more than a hundred Colorado school districts to Colorado Springs for an annual statewide convention of school boards at the tony Broadmoor resort.

While scrutinizing the confab, it became clear that at least several, and possibly dozens of school boards held “public” meetings with important and weighty agendas — while hours away from their home districts and constituents. Both Cherry Creek schools and Aurora Public Schools held such meetings in Colorado Springs, neither broadcasting them.

State lawmakers should prohibit any government from holding meetings outside of their districts or boundaries, simply as a matter of public accountability.

But just as important, any and every public meeting should be required to be broadcast on a short list of methods, which could include social media. In addition, every public meeting, even those legally and properly called as “executive sessions” should be recorded. Such recordings should be stored where courts can easily and accurately inspect them during disputes.

Given the vital nature of public records and affordable and practical access to them, drawing out problems and finding solutions should be a priority for the 2024 General Assembly.

DICK POLMAN, CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST

Trump pillories Colorado court Shortly after the Colorado Supreme Court declared in an explosive ruling that Donald Trump can’t appear on the state’s 2024 ballot because he’s an insurrectionist, one of the former president’s flacks fumed in predictable fashion about “George Soros” and “Crooked Joe Biden” and a judicial plot that’s “un-American.”

But the Trump campaign’s statement failed to mention the most important words of all: The U.S. Constitution.

That was quite an omission, given what the document’s 14th Amendment clearly says (with my emphases): “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

The Colorado Supreme Court, unlike Team MAGA, apparently knows how to read plain text.

The judicial majority took the literal language of our core governing document and applied it to the obvious facts that were documented in a five-day trial in a lower state court.

Conclusion: “President Trump incited and encouraged the use of violence and lawless action to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power (on Jan. 6).”

Therefore: “A majority of the court holds that (he) is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Because he is disqualified, it would be a wrongful act under the Election Code for the Colorado secretary of state to list him as a candidate…”

This ruling is indeed explosive – historic, unprecedented, all kinds of hyperbolic adjectives – and the Colorado judges darn well know it: “We do not reach these conclusions lightly.” However, “We are likewise mindful of our solemn duty to apply the law, without fear or favor, and without being swayed by public reaction to the decisions that the law mandates we reach.”

Oh yeah, that “public reaction.” It’s already intense, in all the predictable ways, and even many of us who applaud the Colorado ruling are a bit discomfited to discover we have yet another bomb in our midst, saddling our fragile democracy with yet another stress test. MAGAts are accusing the court of interfering with the 2024 race and they insist voters should decide the next election – which is hilarious, because Trump’s insurrectionist acts were designed to overturn what the

voters had already decided in 2020.

Meanwhile, similar boot-Trump-off-the-ballot bids are active in more than a dozen other states (a handful of citizens, mostly Republicans and independents, initiated the Colorado lawsuit), and the organizers in those states are likely to be emboldened by the Colorado ruling…but hang on, because, in all probability, we’ll soon get a bat-signal from the U.S. Supreme Court.

It’ll be fascinating to see how that gang behaves.

States have the right to conduct their own elections, and conservatives supposedly believe in state’s rights.

Indeed, the Colorado court’s majority opinion shrewdly quoted Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch, who, as a lower-court federal judge in a different case, applauded “a state’s legitimate interest in protecting the integrity and practical functioning of the political process.” He wrote that a state’s legitimate interest “permits it to exclude from the ballot candidates who are constitutionally prohibited from assuming office.”

Let’s see if our highest court can find a way to steer around that.

David Frum, the sane conservative commentator, writes: “The U.S. Supreme Court now has the opportunity to offer Republicans an exit from their Trump predicament, in time to let some non-insurrectionist candidate win the Republican nomination and contest the presidency…back to a race where the Biden-Harris ticket faces more or less normal opponents, rather than an ex-president who openly yearns to be a dictator.”

But, unless we’re pleasantly shocked, we have to assume that the MAGA-influenced high court majority will act hypocritically and pound Colorado with a federal hammer.

As in, each state has the right to ban or allow abortion as each state sees fit (because state’s rights), but no state has the right to run its own election as it sees fit (because federal power). I would love to be proven wrong.

Yeah, the Colorado ruling likely tees us up for yet more political turmoil. So what else is new. And the most dire predictions – violent street riots if Trump was ever indicted – never came true. Most importantly, the law is the law.

Where are we as a nation if the literal language in the Constitution is deemed to mean nothing?

EXPERTS SAY CONVICTION OF 2 AURORA PARAMEDICS IN DEATH OF ELIJAH MCCLAIN COULD HAVE CHILLING EFFECT ON RESCUERS

T

wo Aurora paramedics were convicted AND COLLEEN SLEVIN, The Associated Press last week for giving a fatal overdose of the sedative ketamine to Elijah McClain in 2019 — a jury verdict that experts said could have a chilling effect on first responders around the country.

It was the last of three trials against police and paramedics charged in the death of McClain, whom officers stopped following a suspicious person complaint. He was injected with the sedative after being forcibly Paramedics Jeremy Cooper, third restrained. The case received little media atfrom right, and Peter Cichuniec, tention outside Aurora until protests boiled back left, enter the Adams County, over in 2020.

Colo., Justice Center, Friday, Dec. Paramedic Peter Cichuniec was addition22, 2023, in Brighton, Colo. The two ally found guilty of second-degree assault inparamedics were convicted Friday volving the unlawful administration of drugs in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain, and cleared of a charge of second-degree aswho they injected with an overdose sault with the intent to cause bodily injury of the sedative ketamine after police and causing serious bodily injury.

his death following a 2019 police encounter.

Cooper and Cichuniec were being tried for manslaughter, criminally-negligent homicide and assault. The case has explored largely uncharted legal territory because experts say it is rare for medical first responders to face criminal charges.

The verdict was announced after two days of deliberations and almost three weeks of testimony, and after an impasse. Jurors told the judge Friday afternoon they were stuck on one of the charges, the judge told them to keep trying to reach a verdict. The jury came back with verdicts at about 6 p.m.

Three officers from Aurora already have gone to trial over McClain’s death. Two were acquitted, including one who has since returned to work for the Aurora Police Department. The third officer was convicted of criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault.

McClain’s mother, Sheneen, raised her fist in the air following the verdict. “We did it! We did it! We did it!” she said as she walked away from the courthouse.

Cichuniec’s wife had her head bowed as deputies handcuffed him. Cooper’s wife sobbed alongside her.

Neither the paramedics nor their attorneys spoke outside court. They did not immediately respond to emails and telephone messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.

The outcome could set a precedent for how emergency personnel respond to situations with people in police custody, said University of Miami criminologist Alex Piquero.

“Imagine if you’re a paramedic,” Piquero said. “They could be hesitant. They could say, ‘I’m not going to do anything’ or ‘I’m going to do less. I don’t want to be found guilty.’”

The International Association of Fire Fighters said in a statement that in pursuing the charges, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser had criminalized split-second medical decisions and set “a dangerous, chilling precedent for pre-hospital care.”

Weiser, who convened the grand jury that indicted the first responders, said he was satisfied with the verdict.

“We remain confident that bringing these cases forward was the right thing to do for justice for Elijah McClain and for healing in the Aurora community,” he said outside court.

City officials said after the trial that the two paramedics were fired following their convictions.

Aurora Fire Rescue chief Alec Oughton extended condolences to McClain’s family in a statement Friday but added that he was “deeply concerned and disappointed” in the outcome of the trial.

“While I appreciate the jury’s diligence, integrity and public service to ensure a fair trial, I am discouraged that these paramedics have received felony punishment for following their training and protocols in place at the time and for making discretionary decisions while taking split-second action in a dynamic environment,” Oughton wrote.

He also described steps that Aurora Fire Rescue has taken to promote accountability and prevent similar incidents, including re-establishing the department’s medical branch to oversee emergency medicine, updating protocols concerning dispatching, sedatives and command when multiple agencies are responding to a scene, and increasing community outreach.

Defense attorneys argued the paramedics followed their training in giving ketamine to McClain after deciding he had “excited delirium,” a disputed condition some say is unscientific and has been used to justify excessive force.

They also have said prosecutors have not proven that the sedative is what killed him.

Paramedics in Aurora had been trained to use the drug for the condition in 2018. State officials have since told paramedics to stop using excited delirium as a basis for administering ketamine.

Colorado Solicitor General Shannon Stevenson told jurors during closing arguments the paramedics did not conduct basic medical checks of McClain such as taking his pulse before giving him the ketamine. The paramedics called to the scene incorrectly estimated his weight, giving him more than 1.5 times the dose he should have received, officials have said.

“There was no justification not to assess Mr. McClain. There was no justification to give someone who was not moving a sedative,” Stevenson said. “The defendants knew the risk of giving an overdose of ketamine.”

Stevenson said the paramedics ignored the risk the drug posed to slowing McClain’s breathing, leaving him lying on the ground unable to breathe freely and clear vomit from his body. As she spoke, McClain’s mother, Sheneen McClain, sat in the front row of the courtroom, dabbing her eyes with tissues as a supporter wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

McClain, a 23-year-old massage therapist, had been forcibly restrained by police officers — including with a neck hold that rendered him temporarily unconscious — when he was stopped while walking home from a convenience store. He went into cardiac arrest in an ambulance a few minutes after the paramedics injected him with ketamine. He died three days later.

Cichuniec, who testified along with Cooper this week, said paramedics were trained that they had to work quickly to treat excited delirium with ketamine so that patients could be taken to the hospital for treatment. They were told numerous times in training that it was an effective drug and were not warned about the possibility of it killing anyone.

“We were taught that is a safe drug and it will not kill them,” he testified.

Cooper’s attorney told jurors Wednesday that there was no evidence the paramedics intended to hurt McClain. Attorney Mike Pellow said the paramedics had “tried desperately” to save McClain on the way to the hospital and that the case was criminalizing the conduct of first responders trying to comply with their training protocols.

The defense has also said there was not much the paramedics could do while police had McClain pinned down, with an officer slamming him to the ground at one point.

“What is Mr. Cooper supposed to do at that point? Say, ‘Hey, get the heck off my patient?’” Pellow asked.

Cichuniec attorney David Goddard said it was “entirely reasonable” for the paramedics to believe McClain was suffering from excited delirium and needed ketamine, based on seeing McClain being held down by three officers and police descriptions of his behavior.

“They’re told by police that Mr. McClain was demonstrating incredible strength, crazy strength,” Goddard said. “That information fits squarely within the signs and symptoms of excited delirium.”

No one was charged initially in McClain’s death because the coroner’s office could not determine how he died. But social justice protests over the 2020 murder of George Floyd drew renewed attention to McClain’s case — which led to the 2021 indictment of the police officers and paramedics.

The city of Aurora agreed in 2021 to pay $15 million to settle a lawsuit brought by McClain’s parents.

WHAT. A. YEAR.

AGAIN.

A look at the headlines and stories from Aurora that filled a year end to end.

C

ontroversy and leaning into multiple crises and conundrums led Aurora news headlines again this year.

Police remained in the spotlight after the shooting of 16-year-old Jor’Dell Richardson and further news investigations into whether the police department is successfully making changes in how it treats and handles when encountering people of color. The mandates for change are part of a state-enforced “consent decree,” which continues to focus on public safety in Aurora.

Elsewhere in the city, Aurora Public Schools has a new school board and a new superintendent, and a political shift to the right on the city council two years ago has resulted in a city council even further right after the last election.

Here are the highlights from 2024.

cles shadowed the march and blocked traffic to accommodate the procession.

The march capped off a week of questions from community members and the media concerning the shooting and how it was initially described by Acevedo.

In September, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s office declined to file charges against the officers involved in the shooting of Richardson, and internal affairs investigators found in October that Gruszeczka did not violate the department’s policy on the use of lethal force.

New superintendent leads Aurora Public Schools

Aurora City Manager Jim Twombly retired, ending almost 5 years with city

Former Aurora Public Schools superintendent accused of not being “Black Enough”

Jim Twombly wrapped up his four-and-ahalf-year tenure as Aurora’s city manager in April, citing a desire to spend more time with his family.

“I’ve got two grandkids in St. Louis, one in Tulsa and three in Oklahoma City, and it’s really feeling like I can retire and, I’m kind of missing out on some of the things that I’d like to do with them,” he said. “Most of my friends are retired. And I’ve got my health.”

When asked what he would remember most fondly about his tenure in Aurora, which he called the “capstone” of his career, Twombly praised the staff of the city of Aurora and their commitment to residents.

“I’ve said many times that this has been my favorite job in my 40-plus years of public service. This has been the most fun,” he said.

“I just felt like we have such a positive group that’s so dedicated to their work and to the community.”

Twombly’s time in Aurora was also marked by upheaval, both locally and across the state and nation. Less than a year after Twombly’s appointment, Aurora police and paramedics caused the death of Elijah McClain, igniting more than a year of intense protests and laying the groundwork for a historic reform agreement between Aurora’s public safety agencies and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.

In a city news release, Twombly was praised for maintaining city services during the pandemic; establishing the city’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; and championing water conservation measures alongside the mayor and city council.

“Jim has done an extraordinary job during a very difficult chapter in the history of our city, and he will be missed,” Mayor Mike Coffman said in the release. Other council members also acknowledged the contributions of Twombly in their own statements.

An investigation by an outside investigator determined that racial bias played a role in the Aurora Public School board of education not renewing former superintendent Rico Munn’s contract last year.

According to an investigation published by the Sentinel in June, at least two board directors, Stephanie Mason and Tramaine Duncan, said that Munn “was not Black enough” to serve as the superintendent.

Mason did not run for re-election this year.

Duncan’s term ends in 2025.

Reportedly, Munn had enjoyed a “good working relationship” with the board until the fall of 2021, after which he began to clash significantly with Mason and Duncan for “refusing to exclusively focus on the advancement of Black people but rather focusing his attention more broadly on the Board’s written policy of the advancement of People of Color.”

Munn was the district’s first Black superintendent, and he spoke regularly throughout his tenure about the importance of providing a quality education for all of the district’s 38,000 students, over half of whom are Hispanic and about 18% of whom are Black.

Mourners march from Aurora city hall with body of boy killed by police Police reform activists marched down Alameda Avenue and demanded the resignation of interim police chief Art Acevedo on June 16, preceded by a hearse transporting the body of Jor’Dell Richardson, who two weeks earlier was shot and killed by an Aurora officer.

The march began with a somber series of speeches on the west steps of city hall as a light rain fell — “Clearly the sky is crying today,” said Richardson family attorney Siddhartha Rathod.

Richardson, 14, was killed after police say the boy fled the scene of an armed robbery while in possession of a pellet gun that looked

like a handgun. Once he was tackled by officer James Snapp, a struggle ensued, and Richardson was fatally shot by a second officer, Roch Gruszeczka.

Following the June 1 shooting, Acevedo painted a picture of a chaotic arrest, where police rushed into the aftermath of an armed robbery. Activists later criticized the chief for describing the item in Richardson’s possession as a firearm rather than a pellet gun, a statement that he acknowledged was inaccurate eight days after the shooting.

Activists accused the chief of lying to deflect criticism from officers and negatively characterize Richardson. Acevedo said in an interview that he would have had “nothing to gain” by lying to the public.

Rathod told those gathered on the steps of city hall June 16 that the best outcome would have been Jor’Dell surviving his encounter with police but that the next best thing would be holding police accountable for the shooting.

“What we can get is accountability,” Rathod said. “(Acevedo) misled you. He lied to you.

He lied to this family.”

Laurie Littlejohn, the boy’s mother, criticized Acevedo for characterizing Jor’Dell as a “thug” and said she was still struggling with the knowledge that she would never see her son go to prom, graduate from high school or start a family.

“I loved my baby with everything in me,” she said. “I have to live with an empty room.”

Jor’Dell’s older brother, Anton, also spoke and called Jor’Dell a “beautiful soul,” saying that he didn’t think police were justified in firing at him, regardless of what the 14 year old had been doing.

The crowd of about 200 people chanted Jor’Dell’s name and other slogans — including “Black lives matter,” “jail all killer cops” and “up with the people, down with the police” — as they marched west from City Hall to Abilene Street, before turning around and marching back the way they came.

A hearse carrying Jor’Dell’s body and a pickup truck full of protest organizers led the procession down Alameda, while police vehi-

APS hired Michael Giles to lead the district after former superintendent Rico Munn resigned. Munn announced in December 2022 that he would not be seeking to renew his current contract, which expired at the end of June.

After working as a juvenile corrections counselor in Grand Junction and the Denver area, Giles joined the Cherry Creek School District in 2002. He began as a counselor at Falcon Creek Middle School and moved through myriad roles in the district throughout the years.

He became an administrator in 2014, and in 2018 joined the cabinet as assistant superintendent of performance. He assumed his previous role as assistant superintendent of diversity, equity, culture and community engagement in 2021.

At Cherry Creek, Giles has been at the forefront of the district’s attempts to boost achievement for students of color, a priority he signaled would continue at APS. During interviews last week, he also highlighted the importance of rebuilding trust, improving teacher recruitment and retention and making sure the district has an effective safety plan.

“I believe there is great potential for the Cherry Creek School District and the Aurora Public School District to enhance partnerships that strengthen and expand opportunities and outcomes for all students in the city of Aurora,” he said in a statement from Cherry Creek schools. ” I look forward to exploring those partnerships once I assume the new role.”

He also said the move enhances possibilities for cooperation between the neighboring districts.

Giles was born in Queens, N.Y. and moved around frequently as a child while his father was in the military. The family moved to Colorado when he was in high school and he has lived in Aurora for the last 25 years.

Coffman, proponents end 2023 campaign to empower Aurora’s mayor Saying challenges from opponents caused them to miss a procedural deadline, supporters of a proposal to empower Aurora’s mayor announced Aug. 25 that they were ending their 2023 campaign but want to try again in 2025.

The campaign to empower Aurora’s mayor was dogged by controversy, with opponents criticizing alleged deception on the part of signature collectors, who they say downplayed or failed to mention the significance of the part of the proposal that would empower the mayor, giving that person the ability to veto legislation and unilaterally hire and fire city employees.

Mayor Mike Coffman’s behind-the-scenes support for the measure and his refusal to

discuss his involvement until July was another source of contention, with city council members on both sides of the aisle accusing Coffman of trying to wrest power.

“This is a gross power grab designed to consolidate power behind one person, which will lead to cronyism and worse,” Councilmember Curtis Gardner said in May. “Our system works because accountability is built into the process, requiring six votes to get anything done. Giving absolute power for contracts, appointments and more to one person is a sure-fire way to ensure voices are excluded from the process.”

Aurora City Clerk Kadee Rodriguez found in her initial determination of sufficiency in July that strong-mayor advocates had collected 12,198 valid signatures from voters, 181 more than needed to put the question on the 2023 ballot.

After this initial finding was announced, Coffman said in a statement that changing the city’s form of government would promote accountability and a cohesive vision for Aurora.

He argued that the “urban challenges of race, poverty and crime” could best be addressed by an empowered mayor, who would be “responsible for the operations of the government to include everything from the conduct of our police officers to providing the leadership necessary to achieve an aspirational vision for our city.”

However, despite Rodriguez’s initial finding, supporters said legal challenges caused them to miss a deadline for bringing the item before voters in 2023. Coffman said he was “disappointed” by the outcome but hopeful for 2025.

Traverse Academy, the highly anticipated multi-million dollar facility, officially opened to district families in October.

Principal Kimberly Avalos said she’s seen many mental health facilities close during her decades-long career, making the opening of this one more critical than ever.

District students from 10-18 years-old will be able to access intensive mental health support at the unique school.

The district will be partnering with CU Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry to serve students.

Students attending Traverse Academy will

receive individualized therapy while general education teachers help them continue with their education. Students will receive nine hours each week engaging in therapeutic programming at the school, which could include individual or group therapy.

Students in need of help must be referred by their school’s mental health provider such as a social worker or psychiatrist before undergoing an intake process with a mental health team.

Aurora’s renegade pig finds new home with rural high school’s farming program A stray hog that went on a rooting rampage through the city of Aurora in September has found a new home as the boar-in-residence for Eads High School’s Future Farmers of America program.

Nicknamed “Fred” by the Aurora Animal Shelter employees who looked after the animal after he was wrangled in central Aurora, the pig will be used to teach high schoolers about animal husbandry and the proper care of livestock.

“I feel bad for whoever let him go or lost him,” said Justin Lenox, the FFA advisor and an agricultural education teacher at Eads High School. “He’s got a really cool personality for a pig, that’s for sure. He’s a big old pet.

The kids have gotten to go out, and meet him, and feed him. And he gets treats. He’s doing great.”

The City of Aurora began receiving calls about a pig wandering near traffic and digging up landscaping on Sept. 24. Aurora Animal Services field supervisor Augusta Allen said that, comparing the locations of the calls, Fred hoofed it at least 10 miles before he was captured near Alameda Parkway and Chambers Road three days later.

The shelter tried in vain to find Fred’s owner before seeking out rescues and other facilities capable of providing a safe home for a pig of Fred’s size. Shelter employees estimated the animal weighed between 400 and 600 pounds at the time he was caught.

Based on Fred’s friendly temperament and the lack of markings that might flag him as part of a commercial livestock operation, Allen and others have speculated that Fred was someone’s pet before he broke loose or was abandoned in the Aurora area.

“Where he came from is still a big mystery, but they obviously gave him a lot of attention,” Allen said. “I grew up on a pig farm, and they’re not always the friendliest creatures, but he was literally like a roll-over-andscratch-my-belly kind of dog.”

Lenox — who started helping out on his grandfather’s farm as a young child and today works at the high school serving about 46 students in rural eastern Colorado — said he was on his way home from a livestock sale when his father shared a news story with him about Fred.

Lenox emailed the Aurora shelter, who sent a representative to tour the facilities at Eads High School. Finally, on Oct. 13, Lenox and one of his students drove to Aurora to transport Fred to his new home.

The Eads High School teacher said one of Fred’s jobs will be helping identify when the program’s seven female pigs are in heat.

Boars grunt and show other characteristic behaviors when they sense a fertile female.

Besides taking care of pigs, Eads FFA students also have the opportunity to raise crops in a garden and get experience working with a small commercial herd of goats.

“It’s a lot of hands-on learning,” Lenox said. “And we try to teach our kids life skills.

We know not every kid is going to go into production agriculture, but if they get to expe-

Colorado Parent Advocacy Network wants LGBTQ+ books off school bookshelves

BACK IN THE SADDLE: Second Chance bikes rides again In late 2022, the sudden death of Ernie Clark left his nonprofit, Second Chance Bicycle Shop, both leaderless and homeless.

The redevelopment of Aurora’s East Bank Shopping Center forced the nonprofit project to relocate, but at the time of his passing, Ernie was struggling to find a new spot for the shop that offered free bikes to children, homeless people and others in need.

Ernie was the public face of Second Chance, which he ran with the help of a team of volunteers. But his heavy involvement in the day-to-day operations of the shop also meant his death plunged its future into uncertainty.

After Ernie’s death, his daughter Betty told the Sentinel how she promised her father that she would help carry on his legacy “come hell or high water.”

Now, she’s made good on her promise and says Second Chance is gearing up to reopen out of a new storefront in Centennial.

“It was fabulous. I couldn’t have asked for a better timing,” Betty said. “We’re grateful, and we’re excited to be moving in the right direction, and we look forward to helping people more in the future.”

A local roofing company, Artisan Construction, allowed Second Chance to sublease the space at 6920 S. Jordan Road rent-free, she said. Betty said the company reached out after seeing a Facebook post about the nonprofit needing help moving items out of the East Bank location and into storage units.

“They have helped us continue the legacy,” Betty wrote in a text message. “Without them, none of this would be possible.”

While slightly smaller than their last space, Betty says the new location is heated and includes a warehouse for the nonprofit’s large inventory of bicycles. Volunteers have been working for several weeks to move bicycles and set them up in the new space, she said.

Although Second Chance has left Aurora for the city’s southern neighbor, Betty confirmed that they will continue to partner with organizations that they worked with previously in Aurora, including local schools and the police department.

Lori Gimelshteyn, Exec Director of Colorado Parent Advocacy Network speaks out during public comment Oct. 9 at a Cherry Creek School Board meeting at Prairie Middle School.

A local parental rights advocacy group, led by a Cherry Creek parent, has gotten involved in local politics while spreading misinformation and complaints centered around the LGBTQ+ community.

Lori Gimelshteyn, the executive director of Colorado Parent Advocacy Network said that they are not an anti-LGBTQ organization and has often said that they are not associated with a particular political party.

The organization has questioned the presence of multiple books in Cherry Creek School District libraries, and said that the district should take the books off library shelves.

Most of the books they complained about were the same books that Libs of TikTok also complained about in the blog post that led to a bomb threat being sent to the district. Those books were written by LGBTQ+ authors.

Tensions flared as hundreds of people flooded a Cherry Creek board of education meeting in October.

Gimelshteyn, and other people in the organization, claimed that the books are pornographic because they include sexually ex-

plicit content, and that they are inappropriate for children. local school officials, national experts in library sciences and a variety of schools of academics staunchly deny.

She also said that her organization has not done anything that was anti-LGBTQ and that they support all students. She also questioned why it was considered hateful to the LGBTQ community to protect them from porn.

Critics have labeled some of the materials as pornographic, which Drew Paterson erroneously claimed the memoir “Gender Queer,” written and illustrated by Maia Kobabe, depicts a child performing oral sex on an adult.

The book is a “graphic novel,” using drawn caricatures in the style of a comic book. While Kobabe does include a scene addressing oral sex, it is between two consenting adults, depicting inanimate objects, not genitalia.

Critics of the organization calling out the materials say the activist groups not only spread disinformation about the character, content and locations of the books, but are anti-LGBTQ in their tactics.

Gimelshteyn said that the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson, which critics claim is sexually explicit, was available in elementary schools.

The Sentinel has previously reported that the school district does not carry Kobabe’s or Johnson’s book in local elementary schools.

They are, however, available in some middle school and high school libraries, which carry a variety of books about biology, psychology, human sexuality and development.

Many others, including parents and teachers, opposed the organization’s claims and attended the October board meeting showing support for the board and the LGBTQ+ community.

Systemic discrimination in Cherry Creek middle schools; Parents demand action Cherry Creek middle schools have been embroiled in multiple incidents of “systemic” discrimination against minority populations.

Each time, parents spoke up during public comment at the monthly board of education meetings. They wanted more action from district leadership and testified about their own children’s experiences with discrimination.

The district also said that students involved in the incidents were disciplined, but did not reveal details about it.

In April, multiple news outlets reported that students at Campus Middle School drew swastikas on their arms following a presentation on the Holocaust. According to a letter sent to parents from the principal, the school was planning a “No Place for Hate Awareness Week” and have connected with the Anti-Defamation League During the May board of education meeting, Parent Rikki Mor said that since news of the incident broke, she has heard from a number of other Jewish families about antisemitic comments that their children have been on the receiving end of at school.

In September, a student at West Middle School posted a video on social media using a racial slur and said Black people should “not be alive right now.” The boy said that he hates the color of their skin.

The Rocky Mountain NAACP responded to the video two months later in November, saying that concerned parents have reached out because they were concerned about their childrens’ safety.

Cherry Creek responded on Nov. 15, the same day as the press conference. The district said that it was first made aware of the racist video in September and that it was created outside of a school setting by the student and shared in a group text.

Weeks after the press conference, a second video showing anti-Black rhetoric surfaced. This time, two Campus Middle School students repeatedly said the n-word. The students were allegedly drinking alcohol in the video.

Multiple parents spoke during the December board of education meeting to say that there is systemic racism in the district, and demanded that district leaders be more transparent about these incidents.

Bomb threat made against Cherry Creek elementary schools and admin buildings Law enforcement searched three elementary schools and two administrative buildings after someone claimed to have placed bombs there.

Sheriff deputies worked with other local police agencies to search the buildings. District personnel searched the interior of the buildings while the sheriff’s offices’ explosive detection canines searched the exterior. No explosives were found and the threat was determined to be unfounded.

The threats came a day after Libs of TikTok, which the Anti-Defamation League states is a popular anti-LGBTQ+ twitter account, published a blog post detailing their attempts to contact district leaders about “pornographic” books in elementary school libraries. The books named in the blog post are: “Gender Queer,” “This Book is Gay,” “Flame,” “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl,” “It’s Perfectly Normal,” “Blankets,” and “Fun Home.”

Lauren Snell, district spokesperson, said none of the books are in the district’s elementary school libraries.

The books “Me, Earl and the Dying Girl” and “It’s Perfectly Normal” are available in middle school libraries while the other books are available in high school libraries, school officials said.

Israeli-Gaza war resolution conflict erupts at Aurora City Hall as hundreds protest At a meeting marked by passionate outbursts from a crowd of hundreds as well as friction among city lawmakers, a majority of Aurora’s City Council passed a resolution Oct. 23 condemning Hamas’ recent attack on Israel.

Repeatedly, Mayor Mike Coffman used his gavel to try to drown out the raucous crowd that filled the council chambers to capacity.

During one particularly heated exchange with other council members, the mayor pounded his gavel to interrupt progressive Councilmember Juan Marcano as Marcano was criticizing the resolution after being recognized to speak.

The resolution sponsored by conservative Councilmember Francoise Bergan denounced the invasion of Israel that Hamas launched from the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, during which Israeli civilians were massacred and kidnapped.

Bergan’s resolution was silent, however, on the Palestinian death toll that has climbed since Israel began its bombing campaign targeting Gaza in response to Hamas’ attack.

On Oct. 23 — after listening to more than three hours of remarks from members of the public, most of whom accused the majority of council members of ignoring the grief of Aurora’s Palestinian community — progressives sharply criticized and conservatives defended the resolution condemning Hamas and expressing the city’s support for Israel.

“If you read the resolution, it has nothing negative about any Palestinian people,” Bergan said. “It was not about Muslim people, and it was not about Palestinian people. It was about a terrorist organization.”

She amended her resolution following public comment to include the statement that “the city recognizes and mourns the loss of all innocent lives caught in the fighting between the (Israeli Defense Forces) and Hamas,” an addition that the crowd heckled.

Marcano tried to bring forward an alternative resolution that would have acknowledged prejudice and violence against Jews as well as Palestinians and expressed the city’s support for both populations, but the conservative

majority voted to keep the resolution off the Oct. 23 agenda.

After public comment, Marcano apologized to the crowd from the dais and said the council would have been better off voting on his resolution, since it was “the inclusive one that was developed with the input of directly-impacted community members.”

“The actions of an unrepresentative majority on this council have divided our city when they should be bringing us closer together, especially now,” Marcano said.

The council ultimately approved Bergan’s resolution amended to reference “all innocent lives caught in the fighting” by a vote of 6-4, with Alison Coombs, Marcano, Ruben Medina and Crystal Murillo opposed.

Supporters of Israel and Palestine spent hours addressing the council, explaining how the conflict in Gaza had touched their lives.

Most of the speakers railed against Israel’s bombing of civilian targets in Gaza as well as the historical mistreatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Many wore Palestinian keffiyeh scarves and traditional Muslim clothing.

“I hope you feel our collective sorrow and anger, and sear it into your minds forever,” said Khalid Mhareb, a Palestinian-American resident of Aurora. “This resolution without a mention of Palestine will only contribute to the genocide of Palestinians, lead to a rise in Islamophobia and antisemitism alike, and alienate the Palestinian community who resides here in Aurora.”

Many Jews also spoke about how supporting Israel and condemning the violence perpetrated by Hamas were not equivalent to prejudice against Palestinians.

During the remarks by Scott Levin — the Anti-Defamation League’s regional director for the area including Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming — some in the crowd held up an Israeli flag and posters featuring pictures of kidnapped Israeli children.

“There is no one who’s come up with an answer of how to be able to get back those hostages, how to ensure that the death, the destruction, the barbaric activities don’t happen again. So on behalf of my community, I’d just say that, while we feel that pain, we also appreciate being recognized,” Levin said.

Supporters of Israel and Palestine mingled in the council chambers throughout the night, sometimes conversing and arguing about the Gaza conflict. While generally civil, the meeting was paused when a physical altercation broke out between Palestinian advocates and a man wearing an Israeli flag. Members of the crowd joined by Jurinsky separated the two groups.

A security officer outside of the council chambers also warned that bags would not be allowed in the meeting due to safety concerns. Several police vehicles were also parked around the Great Lawn outside of city hall with their red-and-blue lights activated by the conclusion of the public comment period.

Following the council’s vote in favor of Bergan’s resolution, most of the crowd left, chanting “shame on you” and “vote them out” in apparent reference to council members who supported the resolution.

Robin Niceta found guilty of fabricating child sex abuse allegation against Aurora council member

Former Arapahoe County social worker Robin Niceta walks from a courtroom May 15, 2023 at the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial.

A previous court found that Niceta falsely accused Jurinsky of abusing her toddler son two years ago.

The accusations were made after Jurinsky called former Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson “trash” during a talk-radio show. At the time, Niceta was in a romantic relationship with Wilson.

The ex-girlfriend of Aurora’s ex-police chief left an Arapahoe County courtroom in handcuffs Nov. 7 after being found guilty of framing an Aurora City Council member for child sex abuse.

It took a jury just over an hour to return their verdict that Robin Niceta was guilty of attempting to influence a public servant and making a false report of child abuse.

Prosecutors made the case that Niceta called an Arapahoe County hotline in January 2022 to falsely accuse Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky of molesting her own son as a way of punishing Jurinsky for criticizing then-police chief Vanessa Wilson on a talk radio show. Niceta and Wilson were in an inti-

mate relationship at the time.

Niceta’s attorney, Frank Moya, insisted Wilson contacted the hotline herself using Niceta’s phone but called no witnesses and presented no evidence to support this claim.

Jurinsky said the guilty verdict was “a long time coming” and marked the end of an ordeal that she described as “nerve-wracking.”

“The woman is an absolute liar. And I’ve known from Day One that she was guilty. So this is amazing. I feel amazing,” Jurinsky said.

Prosecutors called additional witnesses on Nov. 7 to bolster their case that Niceta wanted revenge against Jurinsky and took steps to cover her tracks both before and after the crime.

Michael Garnsey, an Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office investigator, testified about digital evidence recovered from Niceta’s cell phones and laptop that pointed to her placing the call to the county’s child abuse hotline on Jan. 28, 2022, one day after Jurinsky went on a radio show to criticize Wilson.

Prosecutors also described an alleged plot

by Niceta and her mother, Janice Dudley, to convince the court that Niceta was suffering from a brain tumor, with her defense attorneys arguing earlier this year that Niceta was too sick to travel for court appearances to Colorado from New Mexico, where her parents live.

The attorneys withdrew from her case once the authenticity of medical records describing Niceta’s cancer diagnosis were called into question. Niceta and Dudley were indicted in July for their roles in the brain cancer scheme.

“Robin Niceta knew how to get back at Danielle Jurinsky. She knew how to make her life miserable,” prosecutor Alma Staub said during closing arguments. “She went far too far, and her act of retaliation broke not one but two laws.”

Moya insisted that prosecutors had presented nothing beyond circumstantial evidence that Niceta made the call herself, saying it was a “real possibility” that Wilson called the hotline instead.

“What evidence do you have that it was (Niceta) who was on the phone, that it was her voice that was on the recording? Well, you have one witness, basically,” Moya said.

Niceta did not appear to react as the verdict was read, while Jurinsky clasped her hands in front of her face. Nov. 7 was the second and final day of the trial, which took place at the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial.

AURORA VOTES 2023: Democrats dwindle on city council as Coffman locks in second term Democrat Juan Marcano conceded the race for Aurora mayor to incumbent Republican Mike Coffman on Nov. 9, joining the majority of this year’s progressive city council slate in defeat.

Nov. 7 was a banner day for Aurora Republicans, who cheered Colorado voters’ rejection of Proposition HH, and a bleak one for Democrats, who now risk becoming further marginalized on the council, as their minority shrinks from four seats on the legislative body to three.

Four current council members were on track to be re-elected, including Republicans Francoise Bergan and Curtis Gardner, filling the Ward VI seat and an at-large seat respectively; unaffiliated conservative Angela Lawson, representing Ward V; and Democrat Alison Coombs, who won the other at-large seat.

Marcano’s Ward IV council seat is set to be filled by incoming Republican Stephanie Hancock, while Coffman earned himself another four-year term.

The new majority will provide security as well as some additional powers to Republicans. A supermajority of seven council members and the mayor acting in concert can act unilaterally in ways that a simple majority can’t, such as by dismissing members of the Aurora Civil Service Commission or moving the city’s planning and annexation boundaries.

As for the four ballot questions that the city council sent to voters, Ballot Question 3A, sponsored by Coombs, is also failing, meaning instances of gendered language in the Aurora City Charter will likely be preserved. Meanwhile, 3B, 3C and 3D, which propose various modifications to police and fire personnel rules, are on track to pass.

Aurora’s step toward conservatism means the council will likely double down on workfirst and sweep-based approaches to reducing homelessness, punitive strategies for discouraging crime, and tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks designed to benefit businesses.

Coffman has said his priorities for his second term as mayor will include improving public safety by investing in the city’s police department and continuing to support tougher criminal penalties. He has also spoken about wanting to encourage the development of affordable housing, particularly in lower-income neighborhoods.

By the evening of Nov. 9, all but one Democrat had announced the conclusion of their campaigns, with Jon Gray in Ward IV saying he would wait to speak with his campaign manager. Gray conceded the next day.

Marcano and Ward V candidate Chris Rhodes both said the local Democratic Party will need to evaluate what may drive progressive Aurorans to the polls before the next council election in 2025.

“Republicans have figured out that they can just keep fearmongering on crime, and that turns their people out. But we haven’t figured out what turns out our people. We need to figure out what Democratic voters actually care about so they show up and vote,” Rhodes said.

Coombs’ re-election was the one bright spot for Democrats emerging from this elec-

toral cycle — she traded her Ward V seat for an at-large seat and had claimed more votes than any other candidate with the exception of Coffman by the end of the day Nov. 9.

For Republicans, the latest election was a sign that Aurora voters trust the council’s current conservative leadership and their approach to social issues such as public safety and homelessness.

Gardner, who beat out Democrat Thomas Mayes and fellow Republican Jono Scott for an at-large seat, said the vast majority of voters who he spoke with during his campaign expressed concern about crime.

“I think most people want the same things.

They want safe schools, and they want to feel safe when they go to church, or when they go to work,” Gardner said. “For me and some of the other candidates, the focus was really on public safety. Certainly, both sides worked hard. But that difference in the messaging probably won out.”

Yard signs for Coffman advertised the mayor as “tough on crime,” and other conservative candidates also ran on platforms that included tougher penalties for criminals as part of their approach to public safety.

Hancock credited her own victory to having honest conversations with voters and letting people know that she plans on representing constituents regardless of their political background.

“When people get away from the partisan politics of these things, and look at the bread and butter issues that we face, it’s common across the board,” she said.

“I’m very gratified by the fact that I had support from Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliateds, which tells me that people want to see real change happen in our city. And I want to earn their trust by doing exactly what I said, which is to attack the issues that face our beloved city.”

BRAINSTORM: ‘Invisible’ brain disorder patients finding solutions at Aurora institute Growing up, Allison Reed thought the shooting pain she experienced whenever she laughed, coughed or sneezed was nothing to worry about.

The pain raced down her neck and back.

Since no one could explain the symptoms, she tried her best to shrug them off.

“You kind of think to yourself, maybe it’s normal,” Reed said. “Maybe everybody feels this level of pain when they’re coughing or laughing.”

In 2013, the Longmont mother of three suffered a head injury, and began experiencing migraine headaches that were not as easy to ignore.

An MRI of her injury showed that she also had a Chiari malformation — a developmental disorder that causes part of the brain to protrude out of the gap between the skull and the spine — but since her doctors were unfamiliar with the problems caused by the condition, they did not draw a connection at the time between Reed’s headaches and her Chiari.

Then, in 2022, Reed experienced two concussions back-to-back, and the once-occasional migraines turned into a nonstop barrage of debilitating neurological symptoms.

She said it was ultimately social media that led her to information about the effects of Chiari malformations and the Aurora practice of neurosurgeon Colin Buchanan, who leads the Colorado Chiari Institute at the Medical Center of Aurora.

Buchanan is one of a small number of surgeons in the region who specializes in treating Chiari malformations, and the Colorado Chiari Institute is similarly unique for its focus on a brain disorder that is widely

known but not well understood by many medical practitioners.

Buchanan operated on Reed in February, removing one of her spinal vertebrae and inserting a metal plate in a procedure known as Chiari decompression surgery. Since then, Reed said her headaches and other symptoms have only improved.

“It’s completely changed my life. I’m able to go back out and be active again. I’m able to go hiking. I’m able to keep up with my kids.

And that’s all because he knew how to treat this,” Reed said.

Buchanan, who was on track to perform between 50 and 75 decompression surgeries this year, said the Aurora institute is one of a small handful of facilities of its kind in the United States.

“What we’re trying to do is offer expertise in a condition that affects more people than we think,” he said. “And we’re trying to take an approach that’s comprehensive and not just ruling people in or out for surgery. We’re trying to help guide people through this process, and educate them, and help them determine a treatment plan that makes sense for them.”

He said the treatment options presented to patients depend on the presence of fluid-filled cysts called syrinxes on the spinal cord, which are caused by the blockage of spinal fluid. For patients with a syrinx, Buchanan said he believes there “isn’t an acceptable alternative” to surgery.

After years of dealing with symptoms that had forced her to quit her job and impacted her ability to be present with her children, Reed said she was relieved when Buchanan recommended decompression surgery.

“I felt like I won the lotto when he told me that I got to have brain surgery, which I know sounds crazy, but that’s where I was at,” Reed said.

Another Colorado Chiari Institute patient, Hannah Jane, first went to the emergency room in 2018 when she began experiencing symptoms of vertigo. The doctors there discharged her, but she said her illness only progressed, growing to encompass “pretty much every single symptom Chiari has to offer.”

The symptoms also impacted her ability to work as a fashion designer. Jane learned to sew at age 8 and turned her love of clothing and fashion into a career and artistic outlet as an adult. She said Chiari turned the work that she was passionate about into an uphill battle.

“I was so fed up with my life. I had no

life,” she said. “I was doing something I loved, but I didn’t feel good doing it.”

In 2020, a physician finally suggested she seek care through the Colorado Chiari Institute. Since her surgery in June 2021, Jane’s symptoms have improved.

“And I felt like I had a space that was safe,” Jane said. “One of the hardest things in the medical industry, especially with an invisible illness, is trying to find people who understand exactly what you’re going through.”

Buchanan said he sees the Colorado Chiari Institute as a vehicle for supporting Chiari patients, not only by offering treatment but also by providing a tangible explanation for symptoms that can change the course of patients’ lives.

“It’s often quite a relief for them to hear that there’s a diagnosis that explains what they’ve been going through,” he said. “It’s pretty powerful. They feel validated.”

here was much more depth than just wins to the Aurora prep sports scene in 2023, which includes a variety of significant events.

There were personal and team triumphes and tragedy, unlikely outcomes and Cinderella stories, all of which combined to create another memorable year locally.

Title roles Grandview girls basketball team bands together to win second straight state title

Conventional wisdom — and what veteran head coach Josh Ulitzky saw with his own eyes during the summer — said that there was no way that the Grandview girls basketball team would earn backto-back championships for the second time in program history (after it had done so in 2017 and 2018 as well — but this is not a

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor conventional program.

Only two players returned from last season’s state championship victory over Valor Christian in 6-foot-3 sophomore Sienna Betts and diminutive senior Isa Dillehay, while the losses included the vast majority of the offense from the previous season in graduated Lauren Betts and Marya Hudgins, both of whom went on to play Division I women’s basketball.

Grandview found a different way to win its second straight and fourth all-time state championship (this one in the new Class 6A) via a 38-28 win over Monarch March 11 at the Denver Coliseum.

Sienna Betts — who won the Gatorade Player of the Year for Colorado — took on a much larger role and so did Dillehay, who became the team’s starting point guard and served as the team’s “heart and soul” according to Ulitzky. But outside of that, there was a lot of uncertainty, although that dissipated for Ulitzky once he saw his team grow throughout the season.

“We played a summer league game at Regis and I think we lost by 50 points and as a staff, we were like ‘I don’t know how this is going to go,’” Ulitzky said. “But I am so proud of this group of kids and what they did. It just defies most thoughts. It’s such a credit to how hard they worked, how together they are and how willing they were to accept what we were asking them to do.”

In a high-stakes game, experience does make a difference and both of Grandview’s returning players played key roles in the win.

Betts obviously provided the lion’s share of the offense and her work on the boards helped keep the Coyotes — who had a senior-filled starting line that was determined to win the program’s first all-time state championship — while Dillehay was chiefly part of a defensive effort to stop Monarch star guard Natalie Guanella. Dillehay added a handful of points, including a steal and breakaway layup with two minutes remaining that allowed the Wolves some breathing room in the final minutes.

Offensively, Deija Roberson played a big role on the inside with so many Monarch players committed to limiting Betts and she contributed four points, while Lexi Yi had a huge 3-pointer in the final period and the rest of the players that got on the floor all contributed hustle plays.

Sommers-led Cherokee Trail wins first boys track & field championship since 2013 The state track & field championship meet featured a variety of outstanding individual performances in several classifications, including Class 5A, where Cherokee Trail’s Peyton Sommers stole the show at Jefferson County Stadium.

Sommers won individual crowns in the 200 and 400 meter dashes, finished as the runner-up in the 100 meters and anchored the state championship-winning 4x200 relay team to be directly or partly responsible for 38 of the 74 points accrued by coach Chris Faust’s Cougars, which yielded the program’s third all-time state team championship. ›› See PREPS 2023, 13

Cherokee Trail was no ordinary No. 25 seed in this season’s Class 5A baseball playoffs, especially given the presence of key players that were part of the group that came up one run short of playing for a state title last season.

Even so, it still shocked some people on the outside how that low of a seed could take home a trophy, which coach Jon DiGiorgio’s Cougars did after a 4-0 loss to Valor Christian June 3 at Lakewood’s All-Star Park.

With a pair of ace pitchers as its disposal in Logan Reid and Carter Wilcox, Cherokee Trail played well above the expectations that a team that finished 14-11 in the regular season might generate.

They started with a victory over No. 1 Broomfield (the 2022 state champion), bounced back from a loss to No. 5 Rock Canyon with a win over No. 6 Chaparral and then took down No. 3 Regis Jesuit (on a complete game shutout from Wilcox and a solo home run from Charlie Boyd) and then Rock Canyon (as Johnny Robelo delivered an RBI triple in extra innings) to earn a shot against Valor Christian for the state championship.

Keegan Eberly, not used often during the regular season, pitched admirably, but the Cherokee Trail offense couldn’t get on track this time as the Cougars ended up with the runner-up trophy.

Seven Aurora boys, girls wrestlers make state title matches, but all finish as runners-up The last night of the threeday spectacle that is the boys and girls state wrestling tournaments in February included a combined seven finalists for Aurora programs, who all earned their way into the spotlight at Ball Arena.

Three girls from three different Aurora girls programs — Eaglecrest’s Blythe Cayko, Regis Jesuit’s Alexis Segura and Vista PEAK Prep’s Leilani Caamal — three Class 5A boys wrestlers (Eaglecrest’s Adonias Cantu, Grandview’s Max Kibbee and Regis Jesuit’s Garrett Reece) and one from a 4A program (Vista PEAK Prep’s Ezekiel Taylor) all got their opportunities and all finished second.

Unlike any of the others, Cayko had been to a championship match the previous season and she faced the same opponent she had defeated to win a title in Calhan’s Taylor Knox. In the third meeting between the two standouts — who had split two previous decisions — Cayko lost to Knox 3-2 in overtime. She finished her final two seasons 57-2 overall with both losses coming to Knox.

Segura made a second state final in three seasons, returning to the title match after she missed state in 2022 due to injury, and she lost a decision to Mesa Ridge’s Isabella Cross. Caamal achieved a Vista PEAK Prep program first by making it to a final, where she lost 5-1 to Discovery Canyon’s Victoria Guinard.

Cantu gave the Eaglecrest boys wrestling team a 5A 106-pound finalist for a second straight season, but he couldn’t finish it off as he lost 7-5 to Pomona’s Zaiydn Quinonez. Reece at 132 pounds and Kibbee at 195 lost by fall to Ponderosa’s Jacob Myers and Legacy’s Quinn Funk, respectively, while Jones (the first Bison to reach a final) lost via shutout.

Smoky Hill’s Sophia Stiwich debuts with second place finish at 5A girls state golf Sophia Stiwich arrived at Smoky Hill and singlehanded-

ly revived the school’s program, though she was the only player to compete in varsity tournaments during the spring.

Coming to Colorado from Florida — where she already played a state tournament in the fall of her freshman year — Stiwich held her own against the best players in the Centennial League throughout the season and gave herself a chance to win a Class 5A state title as well.

Stiwich and Valor Christian’s Brenna Higgins battled for 36 regulation holes and one extra one at Black Bear Golf Club before Higgins prevailed. Stiwich shots a combined 1-under-par 143 to send the tournament to an extra hole and she conceeded after mulitple errant tee shots. Her finish is the best for the Smoky Hill program in a 25 years and possibly ever.

Led by Burnham, small Regis Jesuit team finishes as 5A girls swim runner-up; Grandview takes 5th Charlotte Burnham’s emotional victory in the 100 yard breaststroke definitely stood out as a highlight for a small Regis Jesuit girls swim team during its runner-up performance at the Class 5A state swim meet at the Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center.

Burnham — who arrived at Regis Jesuit after she swam pre-

viously at Mullen — dedicated her state performance to friend Sydney Meegan, a 2022 Chatfield High School grad who died during her freshman year at Colorado State.

Wearing lightning bolt earrings and a necklace (Meegan’s favorite) for the final, Burnham won a tight battle of Aurora stars as she touched the wall just 0.06 of a second ahead of Grandview’s Paige Dailey to win the championship.

Burnham also took third in the 200 individual medley and swam on two runner-up relays (200 medley and 400 freestyle) to help coach Nick Frasersmith’s Raiders finish behind Cherry Creek and in front of Heritage. Regis Jesuit claimed the second place trophy for the first time since 2016.

Divers Sarah Mann (who took third place), Kathryn Jewell and Maya Kriz earned 53 points for the Raiders on the opening day of the meet, then two second-day swims from Burnham, Sophia Frei (the 100 yard backstroke runner-up), Samantha Aguirre, Taylor Johannsen, Tierney Kohl and Lexi Stramel added up to the second place result.

Dailey, Amelia Brown, diver Addison Campbell and strong relays helped Grandview score its most points at the state meet and finish in its highest place (fifth) since it was fourth in 2007.

Eaglecrest boys volleyball team grabs No. 2 state finish Seeded seventh out of eight teams that qualified for the boys volleyball state tournament, Eaglecrest put on a memorable run that finished with a trophy.

Coach Chad Bond’s Raptors opened with an upset of rival Cherokee Trail — which had won the three meetings between the teams in the regular season — and went on a three-day journey of upsets that put them in the championship match.

Boosted by a huge tournament from Ayden Shaw, Eaglecrest challenged Discovery Canyon — last season’s state champion — twice, but it eventually lost in four sets in the state title match held at Overland High School.

Reyes’ remarkable run comes to an end with Grandview track A highly successful 10-year run for John Reyes and his wife, Natalie, at the head of the Grandview track & field program came to an end when the pair stepped down after the state meet.

The Wolves finished second on the girls side and had a two-year run as boys champions come to an end, so Reyes finished with three state championships — the girls in 2017 and boys in 2021 and 2022

and a trio of runner-up finishes — plus double-digit individual and relay titles as he helped usher a good program in the state’s elite.

Longtime CHSAA fixture Bert Borgmann dies Jan. 9, 2023 Bert Borgmann, a longtime staple of the administration at the Aurora-based Colorado High School Activities Association, died Jan. 9, 2023. Borgmann retired from the state’s governing body in 2021 after he served 33-plus years with the organization and oversaw a wide variety of sports, bringing about great change in many of them. Before he joined CHSAA in 1988, Borgmann previously served as Director of Sports Information and Promotions at the University of Northern Colorado. The graduate of Broomfield High School and Colorado State University is survived by son Logan, daughter Callie and grandson Gunnar.
