The art of turning gay victims into the foes of straight perpetrators

No matter how you feel about equity for lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual and queer people, it’s easy to shrug off the latest Supreme Court frolic because the case seems so hackneyed.

Littleton web designer Lorie Smith is suing Colorado so she can make nuptial websites — for straight couples only.

If you’re like a lot of people, LGTBQ or not, it’s easy to wonder why something that seems so inconsequential should be worth worrying about, even if it takes up time inside the Supreme Court and a lot of headlines.

It’s confusing because it’s not apparent that something as trivial sounding as a frustrated wedding website fabricator is something much more. It’s actually a chilling story about a bigot who wants to use her business to discriminate against gays and lesbians, but Colorado law won’t let her.

Of course Smith and the bigots who back her don’t see it that way.

She says her brand of Christian beliefs causes her to be “offended” by men marrying men, and women marrying women. She points out, however, that she doesn’t consider herself a homophobic bigot because, as a web designer, she’s taken money from gays and lesbians to create websites that aren’t about gay marriage. One time, she recalled, she used her artistic muse to work with a gay person to create a website for a dog shelter.

It’s OK, in her corner of Christianity, for a gay man to care deeply about dogs, just not other gay men.

Her flavor of Christianity permits taking gay dollars to spark her divine cooperation with gay existence, just not gay equality.

You can see where this becomes easy to shrug about.

If Smith hadn’t said anything and sued the state, it’s pretty likely no one would ever have known that she yearns to toil for just the right nogin-to-nogin mist shot for the next wedding website, knowing, however, that her Christian homophobic sensibilities are locked and loaded, if anyone had cared to ask her to resister kenandrickonJune3.com.

There’s more to this, however. Much more.

Smith, and her lawyers, say her website design business isn’t the kind of endeavor that state anti-discrimination law actually addresses. Colorado, like most states, has a “public accommodation” law that says businesses can’t discriminate against race, religion — or sexual orientation, because it’s bigotry. There are still a lot of people, some of them also Christians, who think bigotry is not just wrong, but it’s bad business.

It’s what prevents bigots who own or run gas stations or motels from telling Black, gay or immigrant people, “we don’t serve your kind.”

In states like Colorado, bigots with businesses can’t legally shun serving Black people, or any people, because their Christian religious faith teaches them that Black people, inter-racial couples, or

people who wear hijabs are the work of Satan. It doesn’t matter if their god tells them that the “others” are biblically destined to be enslaved or worthy of some heavenly smite.

Smith and her lawyers say wedding website design is different, and that offensive smiting is warranted.

They equate Smith’s choosing fonts, clipart and background vectors as an artistic expression, much like a poet, a novelist, a violinist or a portrait painter. Smith implies that background pics of the happy couple are religiously repugnant when the engagement-ring shot is closeup of nothing but man hands.

This is where the clients fish into the deepest reaches of her artistic soul, which is connected to her Christian soul, which is offended by two women saying, “I do” to each other. It’s OK for a lesbian woman to say “I do” to give permission to swipe her card for the cost of the website focusing on helping orphaned children.

For far longer than this dust-up, straight people have been fine with taking gay money, just not to express rights and rituals reserved for straight people.

The argument at the Supreme Court made it clear that if picking and uploading stock art and selfies is an artistic expression protected by the First Amendment, even when it’s naked bigotry, then it will be easy for other “artists” to get their gigs protected by the First Amendment, too.

A win, court liberals argue, could result in bigots behind the cameras at the shopping mall’s North Pole refusing to snap minority kids perched on Santa’s lap — if the camera dude’s Christian religion was offended by Black kids marring the quintessentially white-guy holiday meme.

Of course, Santa’s little racist helper could file a preventative lawsuit. Elfie might one day feel the urge to yank a brown kid off Santa’s lap, should the spirit move him. No doubt such a prophylactic lawsuit would offer keen incentives for like-minded parents, also wanting a “traditional” mall Santa experience.

All this fuss over manufacturing inspired wedding websites and forcing vile “woke” religious beliefs obscures the fact that, despite the theatrics, this Littleton website maker is not the victim here.

The victims are LGTBQ people who were shot dead in Colorado Springs, just because they’re not straight. The victims are targets of Colorado Republican Congressowman Lauren Boebert’s Twitter account, when she derides transgender children and those who support them.

You wouldn’t expect worrisome cases like this to keep cropping up in a state where the popular, openly gay governor and his husband are quietly raising a family like millions of others of people who get married and raise families in Colorado.

But some people are increasingly afraid that ensuring equal rights for people who are gay, Black, trans or from very far away causes them to lose an equal ration of privilege or due.

Too bad. Smith and people like her are missing out on seeing people she cares about or even total strangers marvel in the uniqueness of human relationships and the economics of a blow-out wedding.

Club Q victims deserve accountability for deadly red-flag law debacle

Despite marked gains again among Colorado liberals and Democrats empowered to run the Legislature and the state, the chances for meaningful gun control such as banning assault-style weapons and preventing people from hoarding guns and ammunition are slim.

One responsibility, however, state lawmakers cannot overlook next month is a review of Colorado’s nascent so-called Red Flag Law.

For the past few years, Colorado’s Extreme Risk Protection Order has allowed police and family members to temporarily confiscate guns from gun-owners who clearly and provably are so distraught, mentally ill or unstable that being armed makes them a deadly risk to themselves or others.

It’s nearly certain that the law failed in the case of Club Q mass-shooting suspect Anderson Lee Aldrich.

State attorney officials and the state Legislature owe the public a transparent and accountable explanation for how and why this critical law failed to keep Aldrich from arming himself with assault weapons and firing into a crowd of patrons in the Colorado Springs club.

While there could be many reasons, either a failure in the law, or malfeasance among law enforcement in Colorado Springs, or both, prevented Aldrich from being “flagged” against access to firearms after he stunningly held police at bay with a bomb-threat and shooting standoff a little more than a year before the mass shooting.

In June last year, Aldrich terrorized his grandparents in Colorado Srpings as he preprared for a standoff with police, records and witnesses reveal.

“Anderson Lee Aldrich loaded bullets into a Glock pistol and chugged vodka, ominously warning frightened grandparents not to stand in the way of an elaborate plan to stockpile guns, ammo, body armor and a homemade bomb to become “the next mass killer,”’ according to an Associated Press story Wednesday. “You guys die today and, I’m taking you with me,” they quoted Aldrich as saying. “I’m loaded and ready.”

The same young man somehow acquired a small arsenal of tactical body armor, military style weapons and plenty of ammo to walk into Club Q last month and kill 5 people while wounding another 17. If not for the heroic action of two people who risked their lives to tackle and stop Aldrich, there’s little doubt the carnage would have been even worse.

Colorado Springs sheriff officials and the district attorney have said virtually nothing about how a man that clearly committed numerous crimes was never adjudicated and then was able to amass enough weaponry to inflict the carnage he clearly did.

A logical explanation looks grim for Colorado Springs political and law enforcement leaders who have been not just critical of the state’s Red Flag law, but who have actively and foolishly defied it.

News investigations into Aldrich and the shooting reveal that neither Aldrich’s family nor police attempted to invoke the red flag law to ensure Aldrich had no access to weapons.

El Paso County police and political officials consider the red-flag law anathema to their interpretation of the Second Amendment.

County Republican officials brag about the county being a “Second Amendment Sanctuary,” opposing the red-flag law and other common sense measures that seek to at least keep guns out of the hands of clearly and imminently dangerous people, like Aldrich.

El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder “has previously said he would only remove guns on orders from family members, refusing to go to court himself to get permission except under “exigent circumstances,” according to an AP story this week. “We’re not going to be taking personal property away from people without due process,” Elder said as the law neared passage in 2019.

While it’s not possible to say that Aldrich might not have found a way around having his guns confiscated, it’s clear that he absolutely should have been stripped of his weapons, given his violent and disturbing behavior in June 2021.

El Paso County officials have no credibility to investigate themselves in the matter. The state and state attorney general must track the last year and half back and determine whether police or prosecutors thwarted the intent of the law deliberately or through malfeasance, missing an opportunity to prevent the Club Q catastrophe in November.

Just as importantly, state lawmakers need to review the law to ensure that other unwitting or unwilling family members or police don’t allow other clearly dangerous people to harbor guns and ammunition.

For the sake of the public, the next General Assembly should determine how best to strengthen the emergency protection order law to make it easier to disarm dangerous gunmen and to force equally dangerous police, prosecutors and activists from undermining a law that could have completed prevented a clearly preventable mass shooting and calamity.

Biden at 80 — How old is too old?

On the campaign trail back in March 2020, Joe Biden said he viewed himself as merely “a bridge” to the next generation of Democratic leaders, whom he called “the future of this country.”

By all indications, however, the president seems determined to extend his bridge construction deadline to 2028. He’s reportedly mapping plans for a re-election bid (“My intention is that I will run again”), emboldened by the most successful midterm results for a president’s party in decades. He would be 82 when the 2024 ballots are cast. At the close of a second term, barring bad health or worse, he would be 86.

Biden just turned 80, and maybe that’s fine, maybe it’s enough to quip that 80 is the new 70, especially for a guy with a disciplined exercise regimen and the best health care in the western world. But most Americans don’t seem impressed; in an autumn Associated Press survey, 58 percent of voters said that he lacks the mental capability to serve effectively. And we certainly know what his political opponents think. Here’s Jim Geraghty, in the conservative National Review:

“Most Americans can see and hear [Biden’s] statements and senior moments now, roll their eyes, shrug, and go about their daily lives. The question is whether at some point, these tics, blunders, and memory lapses turn into something more consequential… Could Biden address the United Nations General Assembly and ramble for 20 minutes about Corn Pop and his exploits as a pool lifeguard in Wilmington, and everyone in the world would just shrug it off as ‘Biden being Biden’?”

It’s often standard practice to diss an aging politician who has defied the actuarial table (the average life-expectancy of an American male is 77.3), and to suggest that such a person should get off stage, go play shuffleboard, and queue up for the early-bird special. Our culture deifies youth and dumps on about seniors. In 1996, Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole was widely ridiculed for being 73. Late-night comics targeted John McCain in 2008, when he was 71, calling him “the kind of guy who picks up the TV remote when the phone rings.”

Those quips seem cruel in retrospect, and it’s worth pointing out that Joe Biden has always gaffed and meandered. And given the number of legislative

wins he has racked up in only two years with a 50-50 Senate and thin House majority – major wins, many of them under-appreciated – what difference does it make how old he is? Referencing those wins not long ago, he said, “How’d an old guy do that?”

On the other hand, we have never elected an octogenarian to the Oval Office, and it’s fair to assume that Biden’s loose lips will flap ever more often – given what we all know, that our character traits and quirks tend to become more pronounced as we age. When Biden was veep 12 years ago, it was deemed cringeworthy when he was captured on an open mic telling Barack Obama that the Affordable Care Act was “a big f–king deal!” Three months ago, at a White House event, it was way worse when he searched the audience for Congresswoman Jackie Walorski (“Jackie, are you here? Where’s Jackie?”), apparently forgetting that she’d recently died in a car crash.

In politics, optics matter. Biden’s physical gait is clearly stiffer than it was even two years ago. Fairly or not, when the youngest voters look at Biden, they see great grandpa in God’s waiting room. What they also see – what many of us older folks see – is a new generation of Democratic leaders waiting in the wings, jonesing to make their mark. That includes current and incoming governors like Gretchen Whitmer, Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Wes Moore (Maryland’s first black chief exec); current and former office-holders like Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Kamala Harris, Hakeem Jeffries, and Tim Ryan; and many others you may fault me for omitting.

They may have no choice but to cool their heels until 2028, much the way Republican aspirants had to wait back in the ’80s for Ronald Reagan to finish out his second term at age 77. (Reagan was widely perceived as being men mentally out to lunch for much of that second term.) But on the issue of health, we don’t know what we can’t possibly know. Biden, who has weathered much tragedy in his life, recently said, “I am a great respecter of fate.”

And if we reach the point when someone in that rising Democratic generation decides in public to thank Biden for his service, we’ll know it’s game on.

‘Woefully inappropriate’

JUDGE REPRIMANDS AURORA POLICE DIVISION CHIEF, DETECTIVE AFTER GUILTY VERDICT FOR RESTRAINING ORDER VIOLATION

An Aurora detective was found guilty last week of violating a restraining order between her and her now-ex-wife, in an incident where she was driven to the home she shared with her estranged wife by an Aurora police commander.

Julie Stahnke, a 20-year Aurora Police Department officer, was sentenced to 12 months of probation, 20 hours of community service and a mandatory domestic violence evaluation in connection with the incident, which occurred in November 2021.

Denver Judge Barry Schwartz, who presided over the two-day bench trial, called Stahnke’s decision to return to the house to get her truck “poor judgment,” admonishing her and fellow Aurora police officer, Division Chief Cassidee Carlson, for their involvement in the commission of a crime.

“As an officer, Ms. (Stahnke) had some greater obligation to know better, that it would have been woefully inappropriate to go to someone’s house at night after you’ve been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from that person,” Schwartz said Tuesday.

“These are police officers, and if anybody should know — both officer Stahnke and Division Chief Carlson — they should understand that a technical violation of a protection order is a vio-

lation of a protection order, and it’s a violation of the law. … I found that to be troubling.”

The judge rejected a motion by the prosecution to amend their original complaint against Stahnke to include an incident the following day involving their return to the Denver home and the request of a civil assist where Carlson’s cousin, a Denver police officer, was contacted. Stahnke’s attorneys had said they were concerned about their inability to get information about the assist from Denver officials.

The Sentinel reported Nov. 7 that Carlson’s involvement in separate episodes of Stahnke’s restraining order violations prompted the internal investigations into Carlson’s participation.

Carlson was accused by APD’s internal affairs unit of behavior unbecoming an officer as well as being untruthful during the investigation. Chief Oates set aside the accusation of conduct unbecoming and instead promoted her from commander to chief of the patrol division.

In an email following the verdict Tuesday, department spokesman Matthew Wells-Longshore said Carlson would not face consequences related to her testimony. He said an internal affairs investigation against Stahnke would proceed now that the trial had concluded, and that she is currently employed by the department in a non-enforcement capacity.

Stahnke was arrested in connection with domestic violence toward her then-wife on Nov. 22, 2021. The charges — assault and disturbing the peace — were later dropped, and Schwartz ruled Tuesday that the subsequent violation was not an act of domestic violence.

While waiting to be released from jail, during a remote court hearing, Stahnke was read a protection order, which required her to “vacate the home of the victims, stay away from the home of the victims and stay away from any other location the victims are likely to be found” and specifically directed her to stay at least 100 yards from “the protected persons, wherever they may be found.”

Stahnke testified Monday that she had difficulty hearing the details of the order as it was being read because her jail cell was located near an activity room, and because she is deaf in one ear. Regardless, she said she told the court at the time that she understood the order because she was hungry, hadn’t slept and “just wanted to get out of there.”

Stahnke’s attorneys also argued that the order was vague because it did not specifically mention the address of the Denver home that Stahnke shared at the time with her estranged wife as a place where Stahnke could not go.

“At its core, this is a case about bad informa-

tion, the Denver police jumping to conclusions while investigating this case, and then, to a certain extent, prosecutorial overreach,” defense attorney Stephen Holmes said. “Ms. Stahnke didn’t harass, molest, intimidate, retaliate against, threaten or tamper with … the protected party in this case.”

Prosecutors argued it was clear that the order barred Stahnke from the home, as Stahnke’s ex-wife was likely to be found at her home.

Carlson, who at that time held the rank of commander, picked Stahnke up from the jail. Carlson said when called as a witness by the defense on Monday that she had been friends with Stahnke since joining the agency and knew Stahnke’s ex-wife, and that she went to pick up Stahnke both as a friend and to provide her with leave paperwork on behalf of the department.

According to Carlson, Stahnke looked “wrecked” and “exhausted” upon leaving the jail. Carlson said she asked how Stahnke was doing, and Stahnke said she just wanted to retrieve her truck, which was parked in front of or next to her and her wife’s home.

Carlson said she asked to look through the paperwork Stahnke had been given at the jail, but that

it did not include a copy of the protection order.

Carlson said she was familiar with orders prohibiting domestic violence suspects from contacting their alleged victims, and thought there was “probably” a protection order in place against Stahnke, but did not know the details of the order or whether it would bar Stahnke from approaching the home.

She said she did not believe Stahnke picking up her truck would be a problem, since Stahnke had the keys and would not need to contact her wife.

Schwartz criticized Carlson for her involvement in the incident during sentencing, saying the division chief had exercised “immensely poor judgment.”

Stahnke’s ex-wife said Monday that she was alerted to Carlson and Stahnke’s arrival by the sound of car doors closing, looked out of her upstairs bedroom and saw the two. She said the two embraced, and then Stahnke looked upstairs from the street and made eye contact with her.

Stahnke testified that, while embracing Carlson, “something caught my attention and I looked up” but that she “couldn’t see who was in the window.” Her exwife said she was told by a victim advocate that Stahnke could not come within 100 yards of the

house and called police when she saw the two. While the defense stressed that Stahnke’s truck was parked on a public street and that she did not walk up to or try to enter the home, the prosecution argued that seeing Stahnke arrive accompanied by another police officer in spite of the protection order would have been intimidating and given the impression that Stahnke was “above the law.”

“This was right after she was arrested for a domestic violence offense. The victim had finally had an opportunity to have some protection and have some control over her life,” prosecutor Taylor Leighton said. “It’s very intimidating to have a police officer bring her police officer friend to your house in order to violate the protection order.”

Carlson testified that Stahnke was within 100 yards of the home. Carlson also told Stahnke’s attorneys that the home appeared dark from the outside when Stahnke arrived, and the defense questioned whether Stahnke could have known about her ex-wife being home.

Schwartz, however, remarked on the language in the protection order that barred Stahnke from going wherever the victim would likely be found, saying “one would expect that they would be found at their house.”

City council denounces anti-LGBTQ violence

Following the shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs that killed five and injured dozens, Aurora’s City Council voted to formally condemn hate crimes against the LGBTQ community and encourage other municipalities to follow suit.

“This is not the first shooting targeting safe spaces in the LGBTQIA community, but this one does hit close to home,” council sponsor Crystal Murillo said. “That’s a very fear-inducing and traumatizing event for anyone, but there’s an increase in anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and as a city, I think it is our job to help make people feel safe in our city.”

Members voted unanimously to pass the resolution, after Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said she would prefer to vote on a resolution that did not focus on the LGBTQ community but instead addressed hate crimes in general.

“It doesn’t matter if it’s a mosque that’s attacked, if it’s a synagogue that’s attacked, if it’s an LGBTQ nightclub attacked, it affects everyone,” she said. “Hate is hate, and I guess my issue with this is that it talks about hate solely committed against one group, and … I guess I just wish and would like to see that we condemn hate and we condemn hate crimes against people, against people in the city of Aurora and everywhere.”

Anderson Lee Aldrich has been

charged with five counts of a bias-motivated crime causing injury as well as five counts of murder in connection with the Nov. 23 shooting at Club Q.

While Aldrich’s attorneys have described the suspect as nonbinary and asked that Aldrich be referred to using gender-neutral pronouns, national news outlets have quoted neighbors saying Aldrich commonly used homophobic slurs, and club patrons have said they believed Club Q’s reputation as an inclusive space made it a target for violence.

Councilmember Alison Coombs, who is bisexual and married to a transgender woman, told Jurinsky that Murillo’s resolution focused on hate crimes impacting LGBTQ people because that demographic was the target of a recent, high-profile incident of mass violence.

She also said she’s personally witnessed “an increasing amount of hateful rhetoric, hateful acts (and) a resurgence of kinds of rhetoric that I haven’t seen since I was a teenager.”

“And it was specifically a safe space for LGBTQIA people. Gay bars and clubs are some of the only places where actually we do get to feel safe,” Coombs said. “When I go to the grocery store with my spouse, I see people sneering and jeering. A lot of places that are safe for a lot of people are not safe in the same way for us.”

APS PREP SCHOOL STAFF SAY LACK OF REGRET FOR STUDENT MOCKING INCIDENT IS A PROBLEM

Employees at Aurora West College Preparatory Academy are concerned about what they say is an inadequate response to an incident where school administrators made fun of a disabled middle school student during a professional development training.

During public comment at the Nov. 15 Aurora Public Schools board of education meeting, three Aurora West staff members asked the board to investigate the situation, which they said the school’s administration has handled poorly. The employees also spoke on the record with The Sentinel. Aurora West is an APS public school serving students grades six through 12.

Tim Hernandez, a first-year teacher at Aurora West, said during public comment that on Nov. 9 the school administration held an all-staff professional development training focused on restorative practices. Trainers went over ways that employees could de-escalate situations where students are being disruptive or aggressive.

At one point, a middle school administrator and an educational technician decided to act out a scenario, with one of them pretending to be a teacher and the other a student. Hernandez said that the middle school administrator chose the name of an actual Aurora West student who has a disability and then made fun of his disability and behavior during the skit with mocking behavior.

Instructor Alfredo Juarez Jr., who also spoke during public comment, said that some of the employees in the audience laughed during the skit, but the incident made him and some others uncomfortable, particularly those who knew and worked with the student.

“You can do an example to show the

staff how to handle certain situations, but to specifically pick on a student that has a disability and do actions that make people laugh was what I really didn’t find OK,” he said.

After the skit, Hernandez said he raised his hand in front of the entire staff and asked if the student had a disability. The three staff members told The Sentinel that the middle school administrator responded by saying “yes, and we love him anyway.”

Middle school humanities teacher Cuauhtli Valdez, the third Aurora West employee to speak at public comment, said that after the training a number of employees followed the appropriate procedures for bringing up a concern to leadership and decided to speak publicly at the board meeting because they did not feel like their concern had been addressed.

“From multiple meetings that we’ve had with the leadership, it’s been almost a stonewall of communication, of accountability,” he said. “We have not seen anything that makes me, at least, feel comfortable knowing this situation has been resolved.”

Hernandez asked the board “for accountability and integrity.”

“I believe that to have a school district that operates in the favor of our students, we have to take the instances that we fail very seriously,” he said.

The day after the training, Associate Principal Andrea Burrell and Principal Garrett Douglas sent emails to the staff addressing the situation. Follow-up meetings were held on Thursday and Friday.

Burrell, one of the people in the skit, said she did not intend to deride the student.

“I understand some of the staff were uncomfortable and felt I was ‘mocking’ a student,” she said in an email shared with The Sentinel. “Please know this was never my intent, my intent was to show any student in the building can benefit from RP (restorative practices) language. I apolo-

gize for the oversight of how it may have looked and the usage of a specific student. I hope that you will take away the usefulness of RP and give me grace for my presentation at the moment.”

Hernandez said that during the follow up meetings, the administration acted defensively and provided little information about whether anything was being done, although he said they were told that the student’s parents had been contacted.

Despite the follow-up after the fact, the staff members said no one in the administration had genuinely apologized for what happened or acknowledged that it was inappropriate. Nobody was “willing to take accountability for what happened,” Hernandez said.

Juarez, who has been at Aurora West since 2018, said the situation was part of what he feels is an ongoing pattern at the school where there is a lack of communication and follow-up from the administration after incidents happen. He also said there has been frequent turnover in school leadership during his time there.

When a dean at Aurora West brought a gun to school in 2019, Juarez said he wasn’t told by the administration that the perpetrator was his direct supervisor, and instead found out from the news.

He said he was particularly bothered by the skit because the school administrators are supposed to set an example for the teachers and staff.

“If you hurt a kid, that stays with them,” he said. “It’s us that they look up to.”

Near the end of the school board meeting, board member Nichelle Ortiz asked Superintendent Rico Munn what the district’s policy for reviewing those situations are.

Munn said there was not much he could say publicly about the incident, but that steps involved could include making an HR report or filing a complaint.

“We’ll make sure the appropriate steps are being followed, and will be looking into

and following up on the information that we received,” he said.

In response to a question from board member Vicki Reinhard, he said he had no knowledge of the incident until the board meeting. Hernandez said that a handful of staff members had submitted anonymous whistleblower reports after the training, which he believed went directly to the superintendent’s office. District spokesperson Corey Christiansen told The Sentinel that whistleblower complaints go to APS’ internal audit office.

Burrell contacted The Sentinel to dispute the staff members’ description of what happened but later declined to be interviewed directly, saying that the district’s communication department would be providing information instead.

On Friday, the district provided the following statement: “A recent training at Aurora West focused on giving staff members strategies to properly engage and support students when they exhibit challenging behaviors. The training included hypothetical role-play scenarios. A few staff members voiced concerns that the scenarios were based on current students. When staff members voiced these concerns, Aurora West leaders met with them to address their concerns. School leaders will continue to work with staff on best practices in supporting all Aurora West students. In addition, leaders will continue to provide staff with opportunities to work together to address concerns.”

Since the board meeting, the three staff members said they have not heard anything else from Aurora West administrators, the school board nor the district.

Valdez said the experience has been frustrating.

“We’re all here to serve our students and make them feel safe and protected and help them do the best they can,” he said. “It doesn’t seem like our administration is fostering that kind of community based on how they’ve addressed the situation.”

the derailment, before discontinuing the bus bridge at the end of October.

Throughout the process, public officials, including Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, questioned why RTD took so long to restart service and why the agency didn’t do more to communicate its plans.

The agency’s general manager and CEO, Debra Johnson, told the City Council on Nov. 21 that RTD would do a better job of communicating if a similar event happened in the future and that she did not “take lightly the disruption and inconvenience this service outage has caused for individuals who rely on the R Line on a daily basis.”

Arrowhead Elementary gets new mascot

The votes have been counted. Arrowhead Elementary School’s new mascot will be the fox.

Students, staff and community members voted earlier this month at the Aurora school to select a new mascot, with students campaigning for their favorite choice of the three final options: fox, lion and stegosaurus.

The school has been in the process of selecting a new mascot since last year, when it retired the thunderbird following the passage of the 2021 state law prohibiting the use of Native American mascots by schools unless they have an agreement with a specific tribe.

Arrowhead was one of several Colorado schools that was asked to change its mascot from the thunderbird, a mythical bird found in Native American legends, after the law took effect.

The school used the opportunity to teach students about the democratic process and the importance of civic engagement, and held a schoolwide election on Election Day. The fox received 43% of the vote at 596 ballots, according to district spokesperson Lauren Snell. The lion came in at 30% and the stegosaurus at 27%.

The new mascot was unveiled at an assembly Tuesday, where students learned a new chant and dance to go along with it. A logo featuring the fox was designed by Arrowhead parent Tyler Brayton.

Each mascot choice had a specific symbolism. The fox represents the diversity of the Arrowhead student body because it lives on every continent and has many different physical appearances.

“Foxes are very social creatures that live in packs, which represents our values of community and family,” the school said. “We take care of each other at Arrowhead. A fox may be small, but they are resilient and adaptive, just like our students and staff.”

POLICE Police ‘find’ 11 children

A two-week operation conducted by the Aurora Police Department and the U.S. Marshals District of Colorado in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led to the location or recovery of 11 high-risk missing children, according to a Tuesday news release.

“Operation Lost and Found” took place Nov. 7 to (Nov.) 18 with the goal of finding critically endangered missing children throughout the Denver metro area,” the release said.

Along with locating the children, who range in age from 12 to 17, the operation also led to the arrest of one adult for alleged interference with a custodial order.

The children “were considered to be some of the most at-risk and challenging recovery cases in the area, based on indications of highrisk factors such as victimization of child sex trafficking, child exploitation, sex abuse, physical abuse and medical or mental health conditions,” the release said.

Their names and more details about their cases are not being released in order to protect their privacy, the agency said. After being located, APD worked with the Colorado Department of Human Services to return the children to their families or determine whether they needed to be placed outside the home.

This was the first missing child operation conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service in Colorado.

“As the Marshals continue to develop our Missing Child Unit, we will continue to support state and local law enforcement partners in locating and reunifying missing and exploited children with their families,” said Kirk Taylor, U.S. Marshal for the District of Colorado, in a statement.

Woman shot in head

A woman found dead Monday morning somewhere in the roadway at East Smith Road and Sable Boulevard died from a gunshot wound, according to Aurora police.

“At 6:11 this morning Aurora911 was notified of a woman laying in the roadway,” police said in a tweet. “Sadly, she was found deceased.”

Later, police said the death was a homicide.

“The woman, who has not yet been identified, had an apparent gunshot wound to the head,” Aurora police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement. “The woman’s identity and official cause and manner of death will be released by the Adams County Coroner’s Office following notification of next of kin.”

The intersection was still closed for investigation at 2 p.m., police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Knight at 303.739.6982 or Det. Graw at 303.739.6213.

Investigators are interested in speaking with anyone who was in

the area of East Smith Road and Sable Boulevard between 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday, Moylan said.

Shootout leads to manhunt

Police have arrested a 16-yearold boy in connection with a shootout Wednesday among police and suspected car thieves resulting in damaged police cars but no officer-related gunfire injuries.

“Evidence on scene and the hard work of officers, detectives, crime scene investigators, and crime analysts determined that the 16-yearold who was found early Thursday morning in the open field near the getaway car was involved in the incident,” the Aurora Police Department said in a Saturday evening statement announcing the arrest.

“We in the police department are tremendously relieved this morning that none of our officers were seriously injured last night,” interim police chief Dan Oates said during a news conference Thursday. “But I will tell you this: we are also very angry about what happened last night. ... This person tried to murder Aurora police officers who are out there protecting all of us, and we want him.”

The incident began at about 9:45 p.m. when officers with Aurora’s Direct Action Response Team began following what they believed to be a stolen Kia sedan in northwest Aurora, police said in a statement and on Thursday.

“The Kia pulled into a shopping center parking lot at East Sixth Avenue and Peoria Street, occupied by at least two suspects,” Aurora police Agent Matthew Longshore said in a release.

“The Kia stopped in the parking lot, and one or more persons in the vehicle, unprovoked, began firing multiple rounds at two officers in an unmarked police car,” Longshore

said. “These officers returned fire.”

Oates described the incident as a “gun battle” between police and the suspects, whose car was hit by another police vehicle as they tried to speed out of the parking lot.

A total of four police vehicles were struck by gunfire, Oates said. Five officers fired shots at the suspects, and it was unclear whether any of the suspects were shot. None of the officers were hit, though one was checked at the hospital for possible eye and hand injuries and released.

Oates said police found the suspect vehicle (containing two firearms) crashed into another vehicle and abandoned near 10th Avenue and Lima Street. Officers then set up a perimeter and notified nearby residents to shelter in place using reverse 911 technology.

Oates said one 16-year-old boy was located in a field not far from Central High School, dressed inappropriately for the weather and wearing a non-functioning ankle monitor. He was arrested on open failure-to-appear warrants for motor vehicle theft and possession of a weapon but has not been charged in connection with the incident, Oates said.

The Aurora SWAT team and canine units conducted a search of the area through the night but no other arrests were announced, and Oates said police are calling on the community’s help to find the suspect or suspects, at least one of whom is believed to be a male with a leg injury, likely to their right leg, and who was wearing a hooded sweatshirt at the time.

Oates said six officers have been placed on leave, including the five who fired shots and the driver of the police car that hit the suspect vehicle, while the incident is investigated by the 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team. However, Oates said he was aware of “no evidence to indicate that any of these

officers at this time violated department policy.”

“Everything I know about this event at this time (shows) that our officers acted courageously and in the face of a deadly threat,” he said.

When asked whether investigators believed the officers involved had been targeted because of their jobs, Oates said they would not know until they arrested a suspect.

Police are asking residents in the area to check outdoor security cameras, especially for recordings made between 9:45 p.m. and 11 p.m., as well as their backyards for any suspicious findings.

While local roads were reopened Thursday morning, the shopping center at the King Soopers at East Sixth Avenue and Peoria Street remained closed into Thursday as police continue their investigation.

— SENTINEL STAFF Man dead in shooting

One man was killed and another injured during early Dec. 3 during a shooting early at or near apartments in central Aurora, police said. Police were called to 10700 block of East Exposition Avenue at about 12:30 a.m. Friday to investigate a report of a shooting. The address corresponds with Bristol Court Apartments.

“Once on scene, officers discovered two men with apparent gunshot wounds,” police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement.

Both men were rushed to nearby hospitals, but one of the men was later pronounced dead.

“The second victim is a 35-yearold man,” Moylan said. “He was still receiving emergency medical treatment as of early Friday morning.”

The circumstances leading up to the shooting, and who fired on the men, are under investigation, police said.

“No arrests had been made as of Friday morning,” Moylan said.

The 2022 softball season for Aurora ended with two teams — Grandview and Cherokee Trail — that played in the Class 5A state tournament, where much of the talent on the 2022 Sentinel Colorado All-Aurora Softball Team comes from.

ALL-AURORA SOFTBALL

The All-Aurora team, which is selected by the Sentinelin conjuction with balloting of city coaches, has plenty of members of a Wolves team that had its best season in nearly a decade, plenty of Cougars and representaation from several other city programs.

Wolves a big-hitting corner infielder as she tied for first in the Centennial League with 35 RBI (helped by six home runs) and a batting average of .521. Giroux was the league’s leading hitter with an average of .586 and it helped her lead the league in on-base percentage as well at .684, which translated into 37 runs. Demoss was the city’s top power source as she clubbed eight home runs, scored the second-m0st runs (40), had the third-most RBI (34) and hit .514. Brian knocked in 31 runs (several of the clutch variety) with a .396 average and Krei paced the Cougars with a .483 average and a team-high 43 hits.

Diamond dandies

The All-Aurora first team outfield has speed, hitting ability and intangibles in the combination of Vista PEAK senior Anastasia Molina, Cherokee Trail junior Kiki Pryor and Grandview freshman Sasha Kennedy.

The heart-and-soul of a young and upcoming Grandview team was on the mound in senior Makayla Valle, who relished the chance to win after some difficult seasons. The Lamar University signee finished with a 14-4 record and led the league with a 2.92 ERA and struck out a whopping 160 batters in 117 2/3 innings of work.

Joining Valle on the mound on the All-Aurora team is Cherokee Trail junior Cayman Lightner, who was outstanding in the Cougars’ run to the postseason. She had the third-lowest ERA in the Centennial League at 3.50 and she logged 110 innings with 106 strikeouts. She also helped herself when she was on the mound with her own bat as she slugged six home runs, which tied for second most in Aurora.

The All-Aurora infield has two Cherokee Trail standouts in junior Addi Krei and sophomore Kennedy Brian in addition to Grandview junior Kristin Gallego and seniors Gabi Giroux of Smoky Hill and Maddie Demoss of Eaglecrest.

Gallego moved in from Texas and gave the

Molina had Aurora’s top batting average of .618, which was helped by her ability to bunt and beat throws to first base. Once on base, Molina was adept at stealing bases as she swiped 47, which was second in 4A and she also scored 30 runs. Pryor gave the Cougars quality at-bats in every game at the top of the order and she hit .412 with 20 RBI while she also played a great center field. Kennedy was a problem in her first season on varsity as she hit .425 for the Wolves, scored 30 runs and swiped 15 bases.

The All-Aurora utility spots go to Eaglecrest junior Izzy Ervin and Smoky Hill junior Danika Wood, who each played big roles for their respective teams. Ervin played a lot of catcher and also appeared in the outfield, but she hit everywhere she was in the lineup with a robust .583 average to go with 35 RBI (tied for the share of the league lead), while 19 of her 42 hits were for extras bases. Wood had to pitch by necessity for the Buffs and soaked up 102 1/3 innings, while she also hit a ton with a .536 average to go with a team-high 37 hits and 31 RBI.

Another strong season in girls volleyball across Aurora didn’t end with a Class 5A state championship — as Grandview and Cherokee Trail qualified, but were eliminated from the state tournament — but the city was filled with outstanding performers.

The 2022 Sentinel Colorado All-Aurora Girls Volleyball Team — selected by the Sentinel in conjunction with balloting of city coaches — has plenty of representation from the two state qualifiers as well as a few other top city programs.

omore Kassie Cooley, who were both instrumental in the Cougars ending a lengthy absence from the 5A state tournament. Grant’s absence due to injury was felt greatly last season and she showed why as she racked up 290 kills to finish only behind Deferme in the league and also had the eighth-most digs among league players with 250. Cooley’s sizable presence in the middle made a difference and she racked up 103 blocks to get into the top 10 in the entire classification, while her 16 solo blocks were the second-most in the Centennial League and she added 135 kills.

Class of court

Grandview had designs on making the 5A state championship match for a third straight season and after an up-and-down season that included some lineup adjustments, seemed to be playing its best as the postseason approached. Coach Rob Graham found his most potent lineup and the Wolves won the Centennial League Challenge, swept regionals and won their state tournament opener in fine style. Losses to eventual state champion Valor Christian and then to Rock Canyon in the semifinals derailed the Wolves’ title bid.

Grandview did have the top all-around talent in the city in junior outside hitter Emerson Deferme, who was the leading votegetter among Centennial League coaches in allleague voting and did everything for the Wolves. She led the league in kills with 353 — sixth-best in all of 5A — and was in the top six in aces, digs and blocks. The All-Aurora hitter/middle group includes another Grandview player in senior Gabi Placide, an opposite hitter who had 288 kills to rank third in the league and also was just outside of the top 10 among Centennial League players in blocks and digs. She was selected to the Colorado Coaches of Girls’ Sports All-State match.

Cherokee Trail also had a pair of the city’s topline hitters/blocks in senior Sanaa Grant and soph-

Vista PEAK’s Joy Aburto rounds out the All-Aurora hitters/middles group after a season in which she averaged 4.4 kills per set (with 354 total for city-high honors) and she also finished in the top six in the City League (which the Bison joined this season) in service aces and digs. Vista PEAK qualified for the 5A regional postseason.

Both of Aurora’s 5A state qualifiers had outstanding setters in junior Evelyn Klumker of Grandview and senior Zoe Ackerman of Cherokee Trail. Klumker led the entire state in assists with 1,000 as she averaged 9.7 per set and added a significant 44 services aces. Ackerman finished second to Klumker among Centennial League players with 453 assists and also was one of her team’s top weapons in the service game and in terms of digs.

Eaglecrest — a 5A regional qualifier — had a pair of All-Aurora performers in senior Claudia Rossi and junior Alysse Marcoso. In her fourth season on varsity, Rossi was a steadying presence and she also did everything the Raptors needed, including both setting and hitting. She was fourth in the league in assists with an average of 5.6 per set, while she also averaged nearly two kills per set. Marcoso, a libero, was third in the Centennial League in digs with 345 and also ranked eighth with 36 service aces.

Joining Marcoso in the city’s top libero group is Grandview junior Brenna Kelly, who helped the Wolves’ passing game against some top offenses as she ranked just outside the top 10 in 5A in digs with 356 and she also contributed 35 service acees for Grandview’s group.

Holiday magic just for Peanuts

JAZZY ‘CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS’ SWINGS ON AFTER 57 YEARS

The Mendelson family would love to find the envelope where their father, Lee, scribbled some lyrics to jazz musician Vince Guaraldi’s composition “Christmas Time is Here” for an animated TV special featuring the “Peanuts” gang in 1965.

The producer always said it had taken less than half an hour to write, and he likely tossed the scrap of paper away. He was in a rush. Everything was rushed. No one even knew, once the special aired, whether it would ever be seen again.

Instead, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” became an indelible holiday tradition and so, too, has Guaraldi’s music — perhaps even more so.

“Christmas just doesn’t feel like Christmas without hearing that album in the background,” said Derrick Bang, author of the biography “Vince Guaraldi at the Piano.”

The special itself was a bit of an oddity: a cartoon story of the meaning of Christmas soundtracked by a sophisticated, mostly instrumental jazz trio of piano, bass and drum.

Yet it worked. Guaraldi’s cascading piano evokes both motion and lightly falling snow on “Skating.” The driving melody of “Linus and Lucy” is the eternal backdrop to a swinging party. “O Tannenbaum” shifts from the traditional carol to a bass-driven groove. A children’s choir adds charm to “Christmas Time is Here.”

The soundtrack has sold more than five million copies. Its nostalgia-fueled popularity has only grown, getting a crucial boost in 1998 when Starbucks began selling it in stores, and fed steadily by new products.

The latest, a box set of outtakes released this year, came when Jason Mendelson, one

of the late producer’s four children, discovered tapes of Guaraldi’s recording sessions in a Los Angeles warehouse while looking for something else.

“A Charlie Brown Christmas” has aired every year since 1965, although that tradition is about to change.

The special’s run on broadcast television ends this year. Apple TV+ bought the rights, and will stream it exclusively starting next year. While a recognition of television’s new direction, will that reduce the chances of new generations of children happening upon the story and music?

“I just remember, back in the days of three channels and scheduled programming, that was one of those things we were excited about because we knew it was coming on and we were familiar with it,” said Harry Connick Jr., who covered “Christmas Time is Here” for his own holiday disc just out.

“It was actually an amazing opportunity for music like that to be heard by a lot of people,” added Connick, a jazz devotee even as a youngster. “It was not necessarily the kind of music that would be played on regular radio.”

That’s even less likely now, as jazz recedes into the history books or the background of dinner parties, said Nathaniel Sloan, musicologist at the University of Southern California and co-host of the “Switched on Pop” podcast.

During the 1960s, jazz was closer to the mainstream and more likely to be played alongside pop music, he said.

The music Guaraldi created for the soundtrack is ambiguous and more complex than most holiday music, Sloan said. Tied to warm feelings for illustrator Charles M. Schulz’s classic comic page characters, time has made it traditional holiday music.

The list of people who have recorded “Christmas Time is Here” is long and var-

ied. They include John Legend, Alicia Keys, Gloria Estefan, Mariah Carey, Mel Tormé, Dave Brubeck, Sarah McLachlan, Stone Temple Pilots, Chicago, and Toni Braxton.

Similarly, the unexpected places where the melody to “Linus and Lucy” have appeared testifies to how ingrained it is in American life. Michelle Obama played it on the piano when returning to her childhood home in the “Becoming” documentary. Foo Fighters included it in a rocking “Saturday Night Live” holiday medley. Prince banged it out during his last concert.

It all started in the San Francisco area, home base for Guaraldi, as it was for Mendelson and Schulz. Mendelson’s popular documentary on Willie Mays — Schulz’s favorite baseball player — convinced the reclusive cartoonist to participate in a “day in the life” film about his work. One of Mendelson’s favorite songs was Guaraldi’s breezy hit, “Cast Your Fate to the Wind,” so the jazzman was recruited for a soundtrack.

In the days before cable and streaming, Mendelson couldn’t sell the documentary, so it went unseen.

After the popularity of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in 1964, a sponsor asked Mendelson if he’d considered making a “Peanuts” Christmas special. He lied that he had. Schulz agreed to outline a story, and Guaraldi came aboard, too, recycling “Linus and Lucy” from the documentary.

Animation is time-consuming, so the team had a tight deadline to make it onto television. It was Mendelson who decided that “Christmas Time is Here” was missing something without lyrics. He asked several songwriters to take on the task, but the deadline was too daunting.

So Mendelson sat in his office and did it himself: “Christmas time is here, happiness and cheer...”

“I’ve always loved the music and the

melody, but I really didn’t understand how beautiful the lyrics were until I recorded it,” said Norah Jones, who included her take on the song on a disc released last year.

“The version with the children singing is so special,” she told The Associated Press. “There’s something very unique and heartwarming about children singing.”

The St. Paul’s Church Choir from San Rafael, California, was hired to sing “Christmas Time is Here” and “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing.” Producers infuriated the choir director by choosing a slightly out-of-tune version of the carol; they thought it captured an innocence they were seeking, said Bang, who wrote liner notes for the box set.

Some at CBS were nervous before the special aired. Executives wondered if viewers would accept their favorite comic strip characters come to “life” with voices and movement. Schulz’s insistence that the show quote from the Bible gave it a religious focus that television entertainment typically steered clear of.

But it was a hit, winning Peabody and Emmy awards, and never went away.

Guaraldi never had the chance to see his music age into standards. He died of a heart attack in 1976, only 47 years old.

“He’s the best-known jazz musician whose name you don’t know, because the music from the Christmas special has become so ubiquitous,” Bang said.

Lee Mendelson died at 86 in 2019 — on Christmas Day. Jason is reluctant to say how much money his father earned from his few minutes of writing the “Christmas Time is Here” lyrics. Here’s one hint: The song makes enough money, every year, to pay for all of the extended family’s holiday shopping.

And he never tires of hearing Guaraldi’s music, frequently attending concerts where the holiday songs are recreated live.

“I’ve never seen a bad one,” he said.

MID-YEAR CRISIS

APS changes leaders in middle of everything

U.S. Department of Education Deputy Secretary Cindy Marten speaks with APS Superintendent Rico Munn at Clyde Miller P-8, May 4, 2022, during a visit to several Aurora Public Schools to see how ESSER funding is being used by the district. Munn will transition into a support role starting next semester and will serve the district in a modified schedule through the end of the 2022-2023 school year, according to an APS press release.

Aurora Public Schools Superintendent Rico Munn will transition to a supporting role next semester as the district searches for a new superintendent for the upcoming school year, district officials announced Dec. 2.

Munn has been at the helm of Colorado’s fifth-largest school district for more than nine years. His current contract expires at the end of this school year, and he will not be seeking to extend it.

In a news release posted on the district’s website last week, APS school board president Debbie Gerkin said that at its next meeting on Dec. 6, the board would vote on a transition agreement plan and will start the search for a new superintendent later this month.

“I am incredibly proud of the difficult and crucially important work that we have done together to accelerate learning for every APS student every day,” Munn said in a statement.

“I thank the community for allowing me to serve our diverse and dynamic students.”

Munn will transition into a support role starting next semester and will serve the district in a modified sched-

ule through the end of the 2022-2023 school year, according to the release.

An acting superintendent will be named for the second semester of the current school year, and Munn has agreed to support the district in the first semester of the 2023-2024 school year as the new superintendent comes onboard.

In the release, Gerkin thanked Munn for his time with the district and said that more information about the search will be shared as soon as it is available.

“On behalf of the Board of Education, I would like to sincerely thank Superintendent Munn for his many years of service to the Aurora Public Schools and his continued dedication to this community,” she said.

Except for mentioning that his contract expires, the release did not provide a specific reason for why Munn is stepping down now. It did not clarify whether the interim superintendent will be someone currently on APS’ leadership team or someone brought in from outside.

District representatives declined to provide more detail Friday evening on how the transition process will work, and Gerkin declined to speak until af-

›› CONTINUES ON, 16

ter the Dec. 6 meeting.

“Since the APS Board of Education is handling the transition for Superintendent Munn, I am unfortunately not able to provide any additional information beyond the letter that was sent to our community this afternoon,” spokesperson Corey Christiansen said in an email.

Munn joined APS in 2013, succeeding Air Force veteran and current Wings Over the Rockies president John Barry. Prior to joining APS, he was a litigator at a national law firm for over a decade. He formerly served on the board of the ACLU of Colorado and was on the board of governors for the Colorado State University System from 2012 to 2020. He was a finalist in 2020 for the Green-Garner Award, the nation’s highest urban education honor, and in 2019 was named Colorado superintendent of the year.

Munn will be the latest in a number of metro area superintendents who have left their positions since 2020. Of Colorado’s five largest school districts, he is the only current superintendent who was in place before the pandemic started.

Previous Cherry Creek superintendent Scott Siegfried retired at the end of the previous school year after just three years at the helm, citing a need to spend more time with his family.

Former Jeffco Public Schools superintendent Jason Glass left in the fall of 2020 to take a state commissioner job in Kentucky. Former Den-

ver Public Schools superintendent Susana Cordova also left in 2020 to take a position in Dallas after an attimes turbulent two year stint.

Former Douglas County Public Schools Superintendent Corey Wise was fired without cause by the school board in February following the election of a slate of new, conservative-learning members who criticized his actions during the pandemic. He is currently suing the district for wrongful termination.

As for teachers, the last few years have been uniquely stressful for superintendents as schools have dealt with the ongoing public health and academic effects of the pandemic. Schools have also borne the brunt of clashes over issues such as masking and how or to what extent schools should teach students about topics such as race and LGBTQ issues that have turned into pitched partisan battles.

It’s unclear whether this has translated into superintendents leaving at higher rates than usual. A RAND survey from earlier this year found that 13% of superintendents left their jobs between 2021 and 2022, a rate the researchers did not believe was above average, but that half of superintendents surveyed said they were considering leaving or were not sure how long they would remain.

Unlike some other metro area districts, APS has not been the site of significant controversy over its pandemic response or culture war issues such as whether “critical race theory”

is being taught in the classroom.

Along with the pandemic, the district’s main source of upheaval in recent years has involved the implementation of Blueprint APS, the district’s new long term facilities plan which has involved the closure and repurposing of some neighborhood schools throughout the district.

The plan has been unpopular with a number of families and teachers in schools that have been closed or are scheduled for future closure, some of whom have blamed Munn specifically for the decisions. The district has maintained that closures of schools with low enrollment are a painful necessity to best steward the district’s resources and prevent inequities from developing between schools of different sizes.

Though avoiding the level of rancor that has developed in some other districts, Munn has at times clashed with school board members and the teacher’s union, particularly over pandemic school operations and Blueprint APS.

On Monday, current Aurora Education Association president Linnea Reed-Ellis said she hopes that the union has a voice in the search for Munn’s successor, and that it’s important that the district selects a superintendent “that reflects our community and our community’s values.”

“Right now we’re really listening for and hoping for educator perspective and voice in each step in the decision making process,” she said.

Munn’s tenure at APS has been

bookended by crises. He started his stint as superintendent in July 2013, just a year after the Aurora theater shooting that left the city, and the school district, reeling. The last three years have been consumed by the pandemic, as the district has worked to address first how to teach tens of thousands of students as the virus raged and later how to manage its ongoing behavioral and academic effects.

During the pandemic, APS became a remote school almost overnight and was also the largest distributor of free meals in Aurora for almost a year as its nutrition department worked to meet students’ basic needs. The first semester of the 2020-2021 school year was particularly challenging for the district, as it struggled to balance the desire for as much in-person learning as possible with health concerns. As a result, students ended up shifting between different modes of learning multiple times during the school year.

The pandemic led to some of the biggest clashes Munn had with both the school board and the union. At times in the fall of 2021, the board overrode his recommendations and decided to keep students in online learning out of an abundance of caution. In the spring, a dispute with the AEA boiled over regarding potential changes to the schedule, with the union accusing Munn of being unreceptive and him accusing it of being dishonest.

In a report compiled last year an-

alyzing the lessons learned from the pandemic response, the district found that it had been flexible and resilient in the face of tumult but that students, particularly students of color and students from low-income families, struggled and will need targeted support in the following years to make up for the losses.

“We will not fully understand and appreciate the impact of COVID-19 on our kids and on this district for many years to come,” Munn said during a school board meeting last summer.

The story of APS’ trajectory during Munn’s tenure has been one of both rise and fall. Earlier this year the district made the decision to implement a new logo,partly fueled by the rationale that APS is not the same district as it was in the 2000s and early 2010s.

According to data presented to the school board in June, in 2010 APS had a graduation rate of 45.5% and a dropout rate of 6.9%. In 2021, its graduation rate was 76.2% and its dropout rate was 1.6%.

“We are not the district we were in the past,” district communications officer Patti Moon said at the meetings.

Munn’s biography on the district website states that since 2013, “APS has eliminated the graduation equity gap and experienced a 25% overall increase in graduation rates, a 50% decline in dropout rates, a 70% decline in expulsions, a 60% decrease in referrals to law enforcement and an overall increase in academic achievement, student growth and college readiness indicators.”

During that time, the district has also earned its first state athletic championship in over two decades and gained another Colorado teacher of the year, its first since 2012.

At the same time, APS has struggled with issues including an increase in youth violence in Aurora, the nationwide learning loss caused by the effects of the pandemic, and schools that have struggled for years to improve academically. It has also weathered its fair share of scandals, including a 2019 incident where a dean at an APS school brought a loaded gun to school and threatened staff, and a $5.5 million settlement to two students who were sexually abused by a Rangeview High School employee.

One of the district’s biggest current challenges is how to respond to declining enrollment in the district. While enrollment is increasing along the E-470 corridor due to development, enrollment in the district overall has been on a downward trajectory and in past five years the district has lost 3,600 students.

The district is currently in the process of implementing Blueprint APS, its new long-range facilities plan, in response to this trend. The plan has attracted heavy criticism, particularly in the past year after the district announced the scheduled closures of Paris and Sable elementary schools, which were originally not on a list of district schools under consideration for being repurposed.

Blueprint began in 2018 and will be one of Munn’s major marks on the district. How a new superintendent views the plan, which is only partially

complete, could significantly impact the district and is likely to be a key source of discussion during the selection process.

Aurora Public Schools is the most diverse school district in the state, with a student body that is over 56% Hispanic and 17% Black. Students in the district come from over 130 countries and speak 160 languages, and over 42% are learning English as a second language.

Munn, who is the district’s 16th superintendent, is the first Black person to lead APS. During his tenure the district has worked to increase the hiring and retention of employees of color, which has been shown to improve outcomes for students. Following the protests for racial justice that swept the nation in 2020, Munn said he realized

the district needed to be more vocal about why equity work was important.

“We have done really good work trying to elevate voices and trying to identify and speak to key equity issues,” Munn told The Sentinel in an interview last year. “But we have not necessarily been as explicit about the why and the imperative around that as I think we could be and needed to be in this moment in time.”

In a guest column for The Sentinel in June 2020, Munn wrote about his “complicated” relationship with America as a Black man, where he is “outraged by injustice but never surprised by it.”

He discussed the lessons that his father, an immigrant from the West Indies who died earlier this year, taught him about life.

“He taught me I would always have to fight for what was mine,” Munn said. “He taught me that the system, and its enforcers, would actively oppose me. He taught me to fight for my life every day. Thankfully, and most importantly, he taught me that my faith and my education would be my greatest weapons.”

That mix of pragmatism and optimism has been a throughline throughout Munn’s time at APS, in many ways mirroring the trajectory of Aurora itself. What outlook the school board will search for in its next superintendent, and how they will lead, remains to be seen.

Tis the season for aesthetically pleasing, brightly colored Christmas lights. Chatfield Farms is throwing their hat into the arena for another year. The trail is just under a mile long and features native trees lining the walking path, filled to the limb with strands of lights. An alternative path is also available, offering an abbreviated stroll, as it were. There are a handful of fun features throughout, as well, including a new feature where the amphitheater lights will be programmed to dance with music — there are singing Christmas trees, a children’s play area and a variety of drinks and treats, like hot cocoa and kettle corn.

Starting Dec. 16, Santa will be available to collect all the wishes of your doe eyed children. Those who want to visit with Kris will need to buy an additional ticket for $5.

Santa stays busy this time of year, but he’s managed to find the time for a pit stop at one of our favorite metro area museums, Wings over the Rockies. You’ll want to be prompt for this event, since St. Nick will be arriving at 10:00 a.m. in a less traditional sleigh, in that he will be arriving in a helicopter. Holiday themed activities will be available throughout the day’s event, including performances by carolers until 12:30, a scavenger hunt, games and holiday crafts, a photo booth and all the regularly available features and attractions the museum boasts.

Prices vary depending on the attendee’s age. If you can’t make it on Saturday, Santa will be dropping by the Exploration of Flight center, in Centennial, where he will be arriving at 12:15 on Sunday, Dec. 18.

Christmas in Color Lights Show at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds

Nov. 28 through Jan. 1. 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. each night at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds. Ticket prices vary. Visit https://christmasincolor.net for more information.

Jingle jingle. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, so goes the jaunty holiday tune. In that spirit, you may want to head out to the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds this holiday season and fill your eyes with bright, visually stimulating Christmas lights throughout the fairgrounds.

The light show, which will be synchronized to holiday music and plays through your radio, will feature millions of lights rife for viewing from the comfort of your own vehicle – crank those seat warmers and bring a snack. This holiday activity is the Christmas light car ride of your childhood, but much, much bigger and brighter. And since it runs through year’s end, there is plenty of time to take this fun voyage in east Aurora. Prices vary depending on the selected date.

The classic on-stage musical adaptation of the film Spamalot returns for another year to our favorite little Aurora theatre, Vintage Theatre. This hilarious tale of King Arthur’s trials and tribulations as he searches for the Holy Grail will undoubtedly leave you in stitches. But don’t expect the traditional tale of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. It is Monty Python afterall.

Canstruction at Stanley Marketplace

Running for 20 years now, Santa’s Big Red Sack has become a mainstay in the canon of holiday events in the metro area. Described as a non-stop sketch comedy experience, it is full of music and technology, offbeat wit and memorable characters. You’ll likely burst at the seams as these players take your run-of-the-mill traditions of the holiday season and transform them into an amalgam of all things silly. After two decades, you can be confident in the gut-busting entertainment that’s lined up for 24 days at The People’s Building in Aurora.

General Admission tickets are available for $15.

Christmas at Gaylord Rockies

Opening scene… A Charlie Brown Christmas. Now, replace yourself with the ever so graceful Snoopy and glide your way around The Pond, the skating rink located in the town square of Southlands Mall in southeast Aurora. It’s the quintessential holiday activity (even if we aren’t quite getting all that wintery blustery weather forecast just yet), so you’re going to want to do yourself a favor and check the schedule so you can head out east and show your best Kristi Yamaguchi impersonation. Times and admission prices vary.

Begins Nov. 15 - Dec. 15. 2501 Dallas St. Aurora, CO 80010. Vist https://stanleymarketplace.com/ events/canstruction-at-stanley-marketplac/ for more information.

We’ve got a neat one here, folks. Canstruction Colorado is back at Stanley Marketplace for another holiday season. As we know, food donations pick-up this time of year, and We Don’t Waste adds a team building, fun little twist to the joy one can get from helping others with this annual event. Canstruction is a city-wide competition in which teams take donated canned goods and build sculptures with them, to be on display throughout the Stanley Marketplace through mid-December. “Build Day” is Nov. 15, and teams of designers will be able to put their visions into physical form. Once the competition ends, We Don’t Waste will take the donated canned goods and distribute them throughout the community. Guests are highly encouraged to stroll through the halls of the Northside marketplace and check out these creative works of art.

Nov. 18 - Jan. 1 6700 N Gaylord Rockies Blvd, Aurora, CO 80019. Visit christmasatgaylordrockies.marriott. com for more information.

If you’ve been to Christmas at Gaylord in the past, then you know they go all out when it comes to their interactive displays. This year is no different, and this hack could argue it is their finest yet. A Charlie Brown Christmas is the theme and Gaylord is coming in hot with ice sculptures. In the vein of their previous ICE! Show, you can expect towering sculptures shaped like our favorite Charles Schultz characters from various scenes of the cartoon.

It won’t stop there though. Throughout the grounds of the hotel, you can take in the more than 3 million lights, ride bumper cars on an ice rink or grab a S’mores kit and get to roasting.

Whatever you choose, be it one or all, you can be assured that you won’t be starved for activity if you head out to Gaylord for the festivities.

AVISO DE HALLAZGO SIN IMPACTO

SIGNIFICATIVO Y AVISO DE INTENTO DE SOLICITAR LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS

Deciebre 8, 2022

División de Desarrollo Comunitario de la Ciudad de Aurora

15151 E. Alameda Pkwy Aurora, CO 80017 303-739-7921

SOLICITUD DE LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS

En o alrededor del 27 de diciembre de 2022, la Ciudad de Aurora presentará una solicitud a HUD para la liberación de fondos de HOME bajo el Programa de Asociación de Inversión HOME, según enmendado. Este compromiso será para la nueva construcción del proyecto de edificio residencial multifamiliar Potomac Campus. El proyecto del campus de Potomac estará ubicado en 1290 S. Potomac St. Aurora CO, 80012, e incluirá la creación de una estructura de vivienda de apoyo permanente e independiente que atienda hasta 60 hogares. Antes de que se construyan estas unidades, utilizarán fondos que no sean de HUD para hacer una demostración de un edificio que se encuentra al suroeste en la misma parcela que el nuevo campus de Potomac. Este proyecto será financiado con hasta $1,000,000 de los fondos HOME de la Ciudad de Aurora. El financiamiento total para este proyecto será de aproximadamente $21,539,909. Las 60 unidades apoyarán las necesidades de viviendas de alquiler para atender a los inquilinos de ingresos más bajos durante el período más largo y brindarán oportunidades a una variedad de patrocinadores calificados de viviendas asequibles. La población objetivo para este edificio de PSH serán adultos solteros crónicamente sin hogar u hogares solo para adultos.

Las actividades propuestas han requerido una Evaluación Ambiental bajo las regulaciones de HUD en 24 CFR Parte 58 de los requisitos de la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental (NEPA). Un Registro de Revisión Ambiental (ERR) que documenta las determinaciones ambientales para este proyecto está archivado en la División de Desarrollo Comunitario de la Ciudad de Aurora, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, Colorado, y puede examinarse o copiarse los días de semana de 8 a. m. a 5 p. m.

CONSTATACIÓN DE QUE NO HAY IM-

PACTO SIGNIFICATIVO

La Ciudad de Aurora ha determinado que el proyecto no tendrá un impacto significativo en el entorno humano. Por lo tanto, no se requiere una Declaración de Impacto Ambiental bajo la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental de 1969 (NEPA). La información adicional del proyecto se encuentra en el Registro de revisión ambiental (ERR) archivado en la Ciudad de Aurora, División de Desarrollo Comunitario, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, CO. y se puede examinar o copiar los días de semana de 8 a. m. a 5 p. m.

COMENTARIOS PÚBLICOS

Cualquier individuo, grupo o agencia puede enviar comentarios por escrito sobre la ERR a Alicia Montoya, City of Aurora, Community Development Division, 15151 E. Alameda, Aurora, Colorado, 80012; o amontoya@auroragov.org. Si tiene preguntas e información adicional, comuníquese con Alicia Montoya a la dirección anterior o llame al 303-739-7900. Todos los comentarios recibidos antes del 26 de diciembre de 2022 serán considerados por la Ciudad de Aurora antes de autorizar la presentación de una solicitud de liberación de fondos. Los comentarios deben especificar a qué Aviso se dirigen.

CERTIFICACIÓN AMBIENTAL

La Ciudad de Aurora certifica a HUD que Alicia Montoya en su calidad de Gerente de la División de Desarrollo Comunitario
