No mistake, making felons out of drug users ruins lives, it doesn’t save them

Bootleg fentanyl, imported primarily from clandestine labs in Mexico, often laced with other street drugs or used in imposter pharmaceuticals, has become a major health crisis in Colorado and across the nation.

Fentanyl and another synthetic opioid, carfentanil, are so powerful that miniscule amounts can be deadly, and too often are.

Last summer, The Sentinel reported that Colorado fentanyl deaths doubled in 2020 from the previous year, and then rocketed past that last year, which saw 720 overdose deaths from the lethal drug, according to state health officials.

These are only part of the mushrooming number of overdose deaths in the state. In 2020, 1,457 people died of drug overdoses in the state, but fentanyl killed more people in Colorado in 2020 than heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine combined.

Despite predictable partisan histrionics this week, this is not just a Colorado problem. Republicans wrongly blamed Democrats for the

he obvious disconnect between those who make or enforce our laws and reality is no greater than when it comes to drugs and drug abuse.

That fact is made clear by the recent reaction to yet another horrendous account of people being killed by overdosing or taking what amounts to poison when they were expecting illicit pleasure.

While so many things are unknown in the shocking fentanyl death of five people in Commerce City this week, I can almost guarantee that if lawmakers had elevated possession of the toxic drug that killed them to felony status, it wouldn’t have made any difference.

While I join a lot of people in Colorado welcoming the sudden enthusiasm of a bevy of state lawmakers, enforcers and pundits in addressing the scourge of illicit drug use and abuse, like many who’ve been in the trenches on this — victims, perps, medical providers or, like me, a front-row seat to the show — this is not a new problem.

Nor is it an easy dilemma to deal with. Drug and DAVE PERRY alcohol abuse have haunted Editor people, pretty much since there were people. In the United States, from Prohibition, through “just say no,” to the endless war on drugs, the war rages but the battles have mostly all been lost.

Few human maladies encompass so many demographics and parts of society as do drugs and alcohol: poor, old, educated, elite, conservative, religious — nearly everyone and everything.

The sudden interest in the disaster of the atomic-bomb-drug fentanyl, in all its forms, sprang from a shocking disaster this week.

Three women and two men, ages 24 to 32, were found dead Sunday. Another woman was found alive, along with an infant.

A preliminary investigation made it appear the people in the apartment were snorting cocaine, which was laced with enough fentanyl to kill all but one of them.

They were duped. They thought there was no danger in what’s clearly a dangerous form of entertainment, or they thought the worst wouldn’t happen to them.

We want to hear from you. tragedy. It’s not a partisan problem. It’s not a simple problem.

For years, some of the most horrific overdose rates in the country have been in so-called “red” states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia, places where overdose deaths, primarily from opioids, have rampaged for years.

They keep getting worse all the time, despite “tough on crime” laws and drug laws.

Millions of lives and billions of dollars have been destroyed by America’s opioid scourge.

The illicit fentanyl calamity is just the latest chapter in this mess. Aside from that, cocaine and crack, crystal meth, alcohol and even marijuana have stoked jails, courts, rehab centers and graveyards for generations.

Out of all of this, we still haven’t learned how to stop it, but we have learned how to make it worse.

Sending people to jail and prison for doing drugs has not, does not and will not make them stop. Every state in the nation has proved that for more than a century.

This is where the political disconnect becomes so dangerous.

Despite the most fervent and consistent hopes, lawmakers and prosecutors cannot escape reality.

Most people who choose to do drugs do not think they will get caught, killed, arrested, jailed or even inconvenienced by side effects.

Hundreds of millions of us are living proof of this undeniable truth. As someone who came of age in the ’70s’ and ’80s, I can tell you from experience, we partied hardy with impunity, and I partied with every age, race, income and background.

Did I know better? Oh hell, yes. But I never once thought anything worse than the lack of sleep or a hideous hangover was headed my way.

People who become addicted? They no longer choose to do drugs, and they don’t care if they get caught, sick, killed, arrested or jailed.

They must find and use no matter what.

All kinds of people do astonishingly stupid things every day, thinking they will beat the odds of the wrath of consequences. I make a living out of writing about it.

And it’s not just drugs that I mine for fool’s gold. The dead-people business has been booming during the pandemic from people who disregarded unending calls to wear masks, avoid crowds and get vaccinated to keep from dying from COVID-19. But they thought it was all fiction or that they could beat the odds.

Overdoses, getting busted and COVID-19 only happen to other people.

Despite the clamoring from noisy Republicans — some who helped pass laws two years ago to quit sending drug addicts and dabblers to jail and prison — a “mistake” was not made.

The bipartisan intent of making drug possession a misdemeanor instead of a felony was to keep from making felons out of drug users, forcing them into joblessness, homelessness and to become dependent on taxpayer-funded services for the rest of their lives.

The target of the government and criminal justice system needs to be drug providers, especially those on or near the top of the criminal food chain.

If you want heroin, cocaine, fentanyl or meth tonight, all you have to do is join a few local chat rooms and you can get just about anything you want, and for not a whole lot of money.

Lots of drug sellers even deliver, making drug use as easy as having dinner delivered to your door. While many addicts support their meth, heroin or cocaine habit by selling, it’s the “wholesalers” and the factories that are driving the drug trade, pretty much unimpeded.

They’re the ones flooding the area with deadly faux pharmaceuticals and street drugs laced with a fake-fentanyl so potent that even inhaling the dust can become deadly.

Those are the felons, the murderers and the creeps that warrant the reaction political capitalists should take up legal or any arms against.

But clogging courts with foolish people caught being foolish and making them felons won’t save any lives. It will only ruin them.

Aurora lawmakers need to stick to city business when ruling on private projects

F

ew places find the bedfellows stranger than in the Aurora political scene.

That quirky reality manifested recently during an Aurora City Council meeting where arch conservatives joined with passionate liberals in thwarting a sizable strip-mall redevelopment project that most lawmakers deemed “unfair” to existing retail tenants.

Probably just as strange is that the Sentinel Editorial Board finds itself in solid agreement with the lone city dais dissenter on halting the project: Mayor Mike Coffman.

The Sentinel editorial board has found itself at odds recently with Coffman’s plans for homeless sweeps and resistance to local campaign reform.

But we stand behind the mayor in his observation as the city council halted the redevelopment of the East Bank strip mall into a mix of residential and commercial uses.

“So much for free market economics,” he said during the Feb. 14 meeting.

The project encompasses the failing East Bank strip mall at Parker Road and East Quincy Avenue. Once a giant mix of grocery stores, restaurants, shops and even an athletic club, the pandemic has accelerated a plague of terminal vacancies in the center.

Imitating what’s been successful at similar dying shopping malls across the metro area, East Bank owners have for months been working on a redevelopment that would essentially raze what’s there now and rebuild it with a 311-apartment project with four-stories of homes atop space for restaurants and shops below.

The project originally drew ire from existing residential neighbors, concerned about the size of the apartment complex abutting a single-home residential area.

But what drew a yellow flag from city lawmakers last week was how East Bank developer Kimco would handle commercial lease arrangements with existing retail tenants, such as Pet Palace and the Second Chance Bicycle Shop. Both have indicated that either price or position in the redevelopment may put them out of business.

That drew scolding from conservative and liberal city lawmakers alike.

“I don’t think you’re going to be winning landlord of the year,” Councilmember Steve Sundberg said to officials from property owner Kimco, Sentinel reporter Max Levy wrote last week. “I think you’re a big, aloof corporate place that doesn’t really appreciate long-term tenants.”

Progressive Councilmember Juan Marcano joined in.

“I don’t want to sign a death warrant for some small businesses here,” he said.

We appreciate concern for small business owners, many of which have gotten little but bad news since even before the pandemic began.

But there’s little doubt that sympathetic city lawmakers should hand out anything other than advice on the matter.

The city council’s job here is to ensure Kimco has complied with all of the city regulations, zoning requirements and building rules. Accommodating tenant requests or needs is outside the city’s purview.

We’re not siding here with Kimco on how they’re handling lease contracts with tenants. That’s a job for the courts, mediators or the particulars to the contract.

And we’re not so naive as to not understand that Kimco could lure council votes for its project by having existing tenants endorse the redevelopment plan rather than oppose it. But Aurora lawmakers have no grounds to deny the project for acting like an “aloof corporate place that doesn’t really appreciate long-term tenants.”

At the same time, new conservatives on the city council are pressing for the city to hold a series of public hearings soliciting from businesses what Aurora can do better to ease the way of commerce in the city, and what things Aurora does that are impediments to getting business done.

Here’s a good place to start. Don’t let the city council interfere in private business matters and impose expensive and difficult delays on getting business done.

Coffman is right. If the project is compliant with city requirements, it warrants city council approval. If lawmakers are concerned about current tenants, there are numerous local government and private resources to mediate a solution.

But allowing the city council to determine the right way and the wrong way for private business to do business is nothing but bad business.

YOUR LETTERS

Doxxing is as doxxing does for George Brauchler EDITOR: In response to George Brauchler’s social media remarks and Denver Post column defending his public calls to identify Douglas County teachers who called in sick to work earlier this month to protest the firing of that district’s superintendent.

Political Pundit and former DA George Brauchler would have us believe that requesting the names of Douglas County Schools teachers who called in sick on Feb. 3 be made public so that parents could “confront” (his word) them was a benign gesture.

Brauchler has been accused of calling for “doxxing” teachers. He has spent considerable time pushing back against the accusation, mostly pointing to how the word is defined.

We know the subliminal and literal meaning of “confront” implies intimidation when used in a person-to-person context. With recent threats of violence against local school boards and education leaders, we have seen how intimidation leads to threats of violence. Thus, this gesture becomes reckless and injudicious.

Now that there has been deserved pushback on social media toward Brauchler about his initial statement on why those names should be released, he is lashing out at the people who reported and commented on it.

Backpedaling, making excuses, and blaming others for our actions are things we teach our children not to do.

Call it what you will, but doxxing, by any other name, would smell as sour.

Conservative Aurora Council isn’t focusing on real solutions EDITOR: The new right-wing bloc of the Aurora city leadership — comprising Mayor Mike Coffman and Councilmembers Dustin Zvonek, Danielle Jurinsky, Francoise Bergan, Curtis Gardner, Steven Sundberg, and sometimes Angela Lawson — is on the move to flood APD with fresh funding and expand their reach into our community.

This “tough on crime” approach to the real issues facing Aurorans — poverty, joblessness, rising rents, housing insecurity, homelessness, youth alienation and violence — substitutes ideology for real solutions. It is clearly a backlash against the mass movement for justice for Elijah McClain which brought down major reform mandates on the Aurora Police Department and criminal charges against the officers and EMTs who killed McClain.

As announced in The Sentinel, Councilmembers Dustin Zvonek and Danielle Jurinsky, chair and vice-chair of the city’s “public safety committee,” have developed a “5-Point Action Plan” which will funnel more money to Aurora police, increase patrols in “key neighborhoods,”

expand the practice of police-enforced displacement of homeless people, and invest in the defunct police-centered AGRIP gang “intervention” program. The council has already begun implementing some elements of the plan.

The 5-Point Action Plan is a shallow proposal to use the police as a bludgeon against the communities facing the greatest hardships. Even Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson has expressed open resistance to some of the council’s moves, no doubt understanding that these policies will produce more violent police encounters, thus loading on more controversy for her to manage.

It’s worth noting that the police department the council is so eager to throw money at currently has at least half a dozen former officers in criminal proceedings. It is operating under a consent decree requiring the department to work with an independent monitor for as long as five years to implement reforms addressing the issues found in the state Attorney General’s investigation, including systemic racial bias and excessive force. The city just paid out $4.5 million to a contractor to oversee this process.

The city also paid out $15 million to the family of Elijah McClain to settle the family’s civil rights lawsuit. This followed a September 2020 settlement for $100,000 paid out to a woman who APD officers hog-tied and carried out of her home in front of her children while supposedly performing a child welfare check, and a December 2020 settlement for $285,000 paid out to a man who APD officers brutalized while responding to a noise complaint.

On top of the settlements shelled out at the expense of Aurora taxpayers, the Aurora City Council allocated another nearly $6 million to pay out retention bonuses to Aurora Police officers at the end of last year, a response to the staffing hemorrhage APD has experienced as a result of its newfound scrutiny.

Is this the direction Aurorans voted for? Not really. A whopping 6.9 percent of the 386,261 people in Aurora cast a vote for Mike Coffman, Jurinsky 6.3 percent, and Zvonek 6.9 percent. Yet what they do with their positions will have major consequences for all Aurorans.

Instead of this “Back the Blue,” hands-on-their-hearts performance for their donor base, the council should do some real work to address the needs of their constituents. Let’s get a multi-point plan to address the 7,5008,500 unit affordable housing shortage. Or a multi-point plan to support the city’s struggling youth and their families.

Community members who believe Aurora’s city leadership should go back to the drawing board on their action plan should come to the city council meeting on Monday, February 28 at 6:30pm at the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E Alameda Pkwy. Come a few minutes early to sign up for public comment and make your voice heard.

An entire police career ‘erased’ RETIRED APD COP SENTENCED TO 90 DAYS IN JAIL FOR BUYING AR-15 FOR AURORA PIPE BOMBER

A

retired sergeant with the Aurora Police Department will spend three months in jail for buying a rifle for a convicted felon who admitted to detonating a homemade bomb in Aurora on two separate occasions.

Arapahoe District Court Judge Ryan Stuart this week sentenced Curtiss Christensen, 70, to 90 days in jail, 75 hours of community service and four years of probation for the crime.

In December, Christensen pleaded guilty to buying an AR-15 for Scott Campbell, the suspect in the pair of bombings. Other charges, including tampering with evidence

BY KARA MASON, Managing Editor and accessory to a crime, were dismissed, according to the court.

“You have become one of the dangers you and other law enforcement officers have taken oaths to protect us against,” Stuart told Christensen during sentencing hearing.

“You made the decision to arm a violent man The home on South Uravan with a weapon. Your actions in this one case Street, where Scott Alan erased an entire career of public service.”

POSTON/ various members of the Christensen family, to Sentinel Colorado solidify their accusations, the arrest document filed against Christensen showed.

The document released March 10 details

how Campbell supposedly constructed multiple pipe bombs using chemicals and plumbing equipment before detonating two of the devices near his residence on South Uravan Street in the early morning hours of Dec. 25, 2020 and Jan. 7, 2021.

Earlier this year, Campbell pleaded guilty to one count of attempted first-degree murder and one count of possession of a weapon by a previous offender. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

At 5:10 a.m. Christmas Day 2020, residential surveillance footage showed a car and trailer — both of which were later linked to Campbell — pass by the home of a 73-year-old woman, court documents show. The driver was seen dropping an object out of the vehicle’s window about 10 seconds before a large explosion sent shrapnel into the older woman’s front door and kitchen.

Ten days later, a nearly identical bombing occurred near 4632 S. Pagosa Circle, sending debris through a 28-year-old woman’s bedroom window. Additional surveillance footage obtained by police showed a driver dropping another ignited device out of a vehicle’s driver side window moments before an explosion.

The blasts damaged a total of three homes, though no injuries were reported.

During the Feb. 14 sentencing for Christensen, members of the family that were in a home near the Jan. 7 bombing said the event was traumatic.

“No one expects bomb fragments in the place they call home,” they told the judge. “I am sure the defendant’s fellow officers were

shocked and dismayed when they learned of his actions.”

Christensen retired from the Aurora Police Department in June 2006 following a 23-year career with the department.

Curtiss Christensen “This defendant swore an oath to uphold the law. That does not give him a pass when it comes to being held accountable for his decisions and his actions,” District Attorney John Kellner said in a statement. “I hope this sends a clear message that might deter others who would cavalierly purchase a firearm for a felon.”

City puts East Bank redevlopment on hold City lawmakers have put the brakes on plans to turn part of the fading East Bank Shopping Center in southwest Aurora into an apartment complex, questioning what will happen to existing retail tenants.

Lone council opposition to halting the project came from Mayor Mike Coffman, who said the city council was interfering in private business.

While neighbors of the project focused their complaints on the 610-foot length of the proposed apartment building, which would re-

quire a variance from code of about 410 feet, council members said they didn’t believe the development team had done enough to relocate current businesses, such as Pet Palace and Second Chance Bicycle Shop, which would be displaced.

“I don’t think you’re going to be winning landlord of the year,” Councilmember Steve Sundberg said to officials from property owner Kimco. “I think you’re a big, aloof corporate place that doesn’t really appreciate long-term tenants.”

Tausha Wells of Pet Palace told the council her business had signed a letter of intent to relocate within the center but added that “this has been a very stressful time for everyone involved in this project.”

“The fact that these conversations started nine months ago, and here we are at the eleventh hour, and (Kimco’s) longest standing tenant is not in a lease is a huge letdown,” said Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky.

She moved successfully to delay until March 28 the council’s vote on the project, technically an appeal by neighborhood opponents of the Planning & Zoning Commission’s decision a month earlier to approve the site plan with the variance for building length.

On the other side of the aisle, Councilmember Juan Marcano, too, said he was uncomfortable giving the project his blessing without ensuring existing businesses were taken care of.

“I don’t want to sign a death warrant for some small businesses here,” Marcano said.

In response to questions from Marcano, City Attorney Daniel Brotzman said the city would work with the project sponsors to see whether there was additional information they would be comfortable sharing in executive session.

Built in 1980, the East Bank Shopping Center was acquired by its current owner in 1989. Businesses such as Albertsons, 24 Hour Fitness and Colorado Fabrics have called the center home over the years, but recently it has struggled to keep large retail spaces filled.

The redevelopment would affect about 95,000 of the shopping center along South Atchison Way, replacing it with a four-story, 311-unit apartment complex and parking garage.

Marcus Pachner, a lobbyist associated with the Pachner Company who presented alongside project sponsors, argued that the developers had paid close attention to neighborhood concerns and offered to meet with all impacted businesses, mentioning how they walked back early plans to close the northeast access to South Atchison Way in response to neighborhood outcry.

“The neighbors have done a remarkable job,” Pachner said. “They have influenced the design of every edge of this building.”

Many neighbors who spoke Monday criticized the proposed redevelopment — Bill VanSickle, who led the appellant presentation, called the proposed building “monolithic.” Project sponsors pointed out that one of the existing buildings that overlaps the footprint of the redevelopment is more than 900 feet long.

Pachner said the developer believed that neighbors speaking in opposition to the project weren’t willing to engage with them seriously, adding that, after the debate over the Atchison access, “we lost the neighborhood then, and they’ve never come back.”

He and some neighboring businesses characterized the apartments as a new “residential anchor” attracting visitors to the center.

“The reason tenants have not been able to survive here is there are no (major retail) anchors,” Pachner said. “There is no doubt that a dying center is the worst thing that can happen to those businesses.”

Pachner also pointed to the letter of intent with Pet Palace as proof that the property owner is interested in working with existing tenants.

Regarding Second Chance Bicycle Shop, which would be bumped out of its space by Pet Palace, Pachner said the project team was “going to work to” find somewhere for the shop to go.

The shop reconditions donated bikes, often hiring people without homes to do the work, and then donates the bikes to children and others in need.

Mayor Mike Coffman echoed Pachner’s comments about the importance of redeveloping the center and accused the rest of council of being “invasive” regarding the developer’s relationship with tenants.

“So much for free market economics,” he said. “The worst thing that can happen tonight is nothing.”

Regardless, council members voted unanimously to continue the public hearing on the appeal to March 28.

COVID cases declining around region Citing declining COVID-19 hospitalizations as the omicron coronavirus variant wanes, Colorado on Thursday deactivated its crisis standards of care that enabled hospitals and emergency medical responders to prioritize the needs of the most sick and injured and allocate staff as needed to respond to the crisis.

The announcement came as top health officials expressed cautious optimism that infections and hospitalizations will continue to decline in the coming months and possibly reach lows last seen in the summer of 2021.

Modeling by the state health department suggests that an estimated 90% of residents now are immune to infections from omicron thanks to vaccinations, public and personal precautions such as mask-wearing, and previous infections, Dr. Rachel Herlihy, the state epidemiologist, told reporters Thursday.

New COVID-19 cases are continuing to decline in Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties, according to a Thursday update from the Tri-County Health Department.

“The 7-day positivity rate continues to move in the right direction,” the department said. “In fact, positivity rates have fallen below the CDC’s definition of ‘high’ transmission in Adams and Arapahoe counties for the first time in several months. Improvements are also being seen in hospitalization trends.”

Adams County currently has a 7-day incidence rate of 140.70 infections per 100,000 people, and a 7-day testing positivity rate of 7%, according to Tri-County’s online data dashboard. Arapahoe County has a 7-day incidence rate of 116.9 and a positivity rate of 5.9%.

Herlihy warned residents not to jump to conclusions about achieving herd immunity, citing a waning of immunity over time, higher infection rates in local communities and the uncertainty surrounding future variants of the coronavirus.

Scott Bookman, the state’s incident commander for the pandemic, said he continues to recommend mask-wearing in indoor public settings even as many Colorado municipalities drop mask mandates.

But he said he can see a time when indoor mask use will dwindle.

“The virus is unpredictable, and it has really been leading the show here,” Bookman said. “Our message is one of cautious optimism.”

Dr. Eric France, chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Health and Environment, said the decision to drop the crisis standards of care was based on information provided by healthcare providers, and he, too, cited declining COVID hospitalizations and case rates in recent weeks.

Colorado enacted the protocols for hospital staffing in November and for emergency responders in January as medical facilities struggled with staffing and patient caseloads that surged because of people infected with the coronavirus.

As of Thursday, 641 people were hospitalized with COVID-19, and 413 of them, or 64%, were unvaccinated, according to the health department. That compares to more than 1,500 hospitalizations during the most recent peak in January.

Colorado’s seven-day rolling average of new cases has dropped below 1,500 per day, compared with close to 1,500 in mid-January, Herlihy said. The state’s seven-day positivity rate —- the percentage of COVID-19 tests coming back positive —- is under 7%, compared to a peak of nearly 30% in January.

More than 12,000 Colorado residents have died during the pandemic.

Inmates allege state violating ban on slavery Two Colorado inmates who say they were pressured into working despite health concerns are suing the state’s prison system, saying it’s violating a constitutional ban on slavery and involuntary servitude.

In the lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Denver, Harold Mortis and Richard Lilgerose say they effectively had days added to their sentences when they initially refused to work in 2020 because they lost time credits for not following prison rules. They were also threatened with being placed in isolation for most of the day, with limits on phone calls and family visits, and both resumed work in their prison’s kitchen to avoid further sanctions, the lawsuit said.

The lawsuit asks that a judge bar the state from forcing inmates to work and to make the case a class action lawsuit, allowing other inmates to join.

Colorado Department of Corrections spokesperson Lisa Wiley said the department doesn’t comment on pending litigation.

According to the lawsuit, both Mortis and Lilgerose contracted COVID-19 in October 2020 during an outbreak at the Fremont Correctional Facility in Cañon City but were told they needed to work in the kitchen the following month despite lingering symptoms because of a staffing shortage.

ma, feared contracting COVID again, and Lilgerose, 45, who still experiences COVID-19 side effects, told prison workers that working in the close quarters of the kitchen would aggravate mental health problems, including post traumatic stress disorder, the lawsuit said.

The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ended slavery but it still allows forced labor for those convicted of crimes. Colorado had similar language in its state constitution but in 2018 voters backed ending slavery and involuntary servitude under all circumstances.

Voters in Nebraska and Utah have also since passed initiatives amending their state constitutions to do the same. Earlier this month, lawmakers in Vermont backed a similar change to its constitution to make it clear that slavery and indentured servitude are prohibited. Voters will be asked to approve it in November’s election.

EDUCATION

Bomb threat not substantiated A “perceived bomb threat” that led the Cherry Creek School District to hold its Monday board of education meeting remotely has been found to be unsubstantiated by the Greenwood Village Police Department.

“The perceived threat was vetted and it was determined to not be a substantiated threat,” Greenwood Village police commander Joe Gutgsell told the Sentinel. “It is not believed to be related to JeffCo’s threat from last week. All schools operated normally, without interruption and no schools were the focus of the perceived threat.”

On Monday afternoon the school district announced it would be holding that evening’s board meeting, originally scheduled to take place at West Middle School in Aurora, online due to a potential threat from someone with a previous criminal history.

The threat did not name any specific issues or district policies.

District spokesperson Abbe Smith said that the district received a Safe2Tell notification about a comment regarding the board someone had posted to social media.

The district is “somewhat frequently” made aware of social media threats or rumors regarding Cherry Creek schools that are then investigated by law enforcement, but Smith said this is the first threat she is aware of specifically regarding the board.

Other metro area districts have faced aggression from people angry about district policies regarding mask mandates and critical race theory. Last week a Jefferson County Schools study session was held remotely after a person who wanted masking in schools to end made a threatening phone call to the superintendent’s office, according to 9News.

In January, police were called to

Centennial Elementary in Denver after a man who was apparently upset over a “Black Lives Matter week of action” the school planned to participate in during February entered the building and shouted at staff and parents.

Cherry Creek officials have said March’s board meeting is scheduled to take place in person as usual.

Police: Man killed woman then shot himself Police said domestic violence may have let to a shooting the morning of Feb.17 that left one woman dead and her husband wounded.

Police were called to an apartment in the 200 block of South Jasper Circle at about 7 a.m. after reports of gunfire and arguing.

When police arrived, they discovered a woman, 38, dead from a gunshot wound. The woman’s 28-yearold husband was also wounded, apparently self-inflicted, Aurora Police Agent Matthew Longshore said during a press conference.

The man was taken to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive.

Police said an unidentified teenager was also found in the home, uninjured. That person was expected to be interviewed by police and released to an agency for care.

Police said officers had previously been to the residence to investigate domestic violence complaints.

Longshore did not detail the past calls.

Autopsies and drug testing of each victim still need to be done to confirm how they died, he said.

Mason said he is concerned that there are other people who might have drugs from the same supply as the one used by the victims, potentially putting their lives at risk too.

SCOTUS takes on Colorado LGBT case The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a new Colorado clash involving religion and the rights of LGBT people.

The high court said Tuesday it would hear the case of Colorado-based web designer Lorie Smith.

Smith offers graphic and website design services and wants to expand to wedding website services, but she says her religious beliefs would lead her to decline any request from a same-sex couple to design a wedding website. She al-

so wants to post a statement on her website about her beliefs, but that would run afoul of a Colorado anti-discrimination law. Smith had argued the law violates her free speech and religious rights.

The Supreme Court said in taking the case, however, that it would look only at the free speech issue. It said it would decide whether a law that requires an artist to speak or stay silent violates the free speech clause of the First Amendment. The case is expected to be argued in the fall.

In a 2-1 ruling last year, the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Smith’s attempt to overturn a lower court ruling throwing out her legal challenge. The panel said Colorado had a compelling interest in protecting the “dignity interests” of members of marginalized groups through its law, the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act. The law, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, is the same one at issue in the case of Colorado baker Jack Phillips that was decided in 2018 by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The high court said at the time that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission had acted with anti-religious bias against Phillips after he refused to bake a cake for two men who were getting married. But it did not rule on the larger issue of whether a business can invoke religious objections to refuse service to LGBTQ people.

Both Smith and Phillips were represented by the Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom.

STRIP LANDINGS

After years of bumpy economic times, strip malls across the region are finding new life, even reborn

M

ike Fruitman has been slinging sports memorabilia out of his current spot in the East Bank Shopping Center “since the Broncos won the Super Bowl.”

Before that, he spent around a dozen years in another spot at the center — all told, Mike’s Stadium Sportscards has called East Bank home for about 20 years.

“I was attracted by the traffic flow that went by on Parker Road,” Fruitman said. Plus, he said he liked the restaurants that shared the center, and he lives just a short drive away.

Homes, condominiums and other low-rise commercial buildings surround the southwest Aurora shopping center at Parker and Quincy on three sides. Cherry Creek State Park sprawls off to the west. The East Bank Shopping Center was built at the start of the 1980s as shopping malls across the country roared into their golden age.

In 1985, writer William Kowinski declared that malls were “the new Main Streets of America,” and by 1987, more than half of all retail sales were transacted at a shopping mall, according to researchers Richard Feinberg and Jennifer Meoli.

Tausha Wells and a business partner took the plunge and opened their own pet supply

store, Pet Palace, at East Bank in 1993.

“I’m not saying it’s not scary, but when you’re young, you just say, ‘You know what, we’re going for it,’” Wells said. “We looked at different locations, and at the time, East Bank seemed like a pretty active mall.”

As Fruitman’s and Wells’ businesses built steam, they shared the center with big-name businesses like Albertsons, Kmart and 24 Hour Fitness. Those tenants filled larger storefronts in the mall and served as “anchors” driving traffic to smaller businesses.

But over the following decades, the rise of online shopping and other trends in consumer behavior would decimate retail gi-

ants and pose new challenges for brick-and-mortar shopping centers, including East Bank.

The coup-de-grace for many struggling retail storefronts turned out to be the COVID-19 pandemic. Spots at East Bank that once housed anchor tenants were vacant by the end of 2020.

“I don’t know when it began, but I began to have my doubts about this shopping center when a Subway location and a liquor store closed,” Fruitman said.

“You’ve got some businesses that typically don’t go out of business that have failed.”

Mayor Mike Coffman dubbed the center “blighted” at a Feb. 14 city council hearing. Members were deliberating on a proposal

to redevelop the shopping center.

Marcus Pachner, a consultant for the redevelopment project, said East Bank was “a revolving door of retail instability.”

At the hearing, Pachner described plans to replace part of the center with an apartment complex, reorganizing the mall around a new “residential anchor.”

“What makes these centers actually work are anchors,” Pachner said. “There is no doubt that a dying center is the worst thing that can happen to those businesses.”

The proposal has generated ire, meanwhile, among nearby residents, who have raised a multitude of objections, including saying the project sponsors haven’t done enough for existing small businesses.

Pet Palace would be displaced by the redevelopment. Wells said they have signed a letter of intent to relocate into the spot currently occupied by Second Chance Bicycle Shop, which would boot the bike shop out of the center.

“It’s sad to say, but if we can’t find another building, we might just close it all down,” said Ernie Clark, the founder of Second Chance, which has been located in the center for close to four years. “Nobody knows what’s going to happen.”

And East Bank isn’t alone in its predicament. ›› Continues on 10

Strip mall challenges made crises by the pandemic The questions of what makes contemporary shopping centers successful and what should be done to redevelop aging malls aren’t new, but they’re especially urgent in light of the rise of online retail and the COVID-19 pandemic.

Considering sales tax collections across Colorado, Kevin Hougen, president of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, said around 10% of purchases were being made online prior to the pandemic. Now, he said some Colorado communities are seeing as much as 40% of all sales tax collected on online purchases.

Hougen said cities once viewed malls as more rewarding than other types of commercial and industrial development because of their ability to churn out sales tax. Now, Aurora’s brickand-mortar businesses have to contend with competition from online retailers such as Amazon.

“On Colfax, when the malls started opening, we went from Main Street to malls, and now we’re going to mail,” Hougen said.

“I think e-commerce is a wonderful tool, but we’re just starting to recognize some of the consequences of it.”

COVID-19 accelerated the turn toward e-commerce, Hougen said, while additionally threatening non-retail businesses like restaurants.

He also said more people working from home means fewer customers out and about during what used to be peak shopping hours.

Jon Zhang, a Colorado State University professor whose research focuses on the future of physical retail storefronts, noted that it’s often easier for consumers to buy things from the comfort of their homes.

“You can fulfill the transactional need more easily online,” he said. “Even before the pandemic, there was a shift away from strip malls. The pandemic just made it even more miserable.”

One direction redevelopment could take is housing, Zhang said.

Especially in urban areas where the inventory of housing is limited, sprawling commercial centers can be built upward into residential or mixed-use developments.

That’s consistent with the new vision for East Bank, which would replace about 95,000 square feet in the northeast corner of the shopping center with a four-story, 311-unit apartment complex and parking garage. Pachner described the project as “mixeduse” to the City Council, bringing up how the apartments were envisioned to complement the existing shops.

“I’m glad that some strip malls are turning into housing,” Zhang said. “It’s a lot of real estate. Shifting that access from retail to fill the need for housing … it’s expensive, but I think it could make sense.”

“You’re seeing it all over,” Hougen said of shopping centers being redeveloped into housing.

Hougen mentioned a proposal to transform part of Englewood’s city hall and the CityCenter Englewood retail complex, formerly the Cinderella City mall, into apartments serving the south Denver suburb. According to reporting last year by the Englewood Herald, the plan would also add hotel and office space to the struggling center.

Besides being reconfigured into housing, Zhang said shopping centers could also cater to new trends in consumer behavior by focusing on offering an “experience” to customers rather than just products which could easily

be purchased online.

“Retail stores have to reinvent to be more experiential and immersive,” Zhang said. “Even Walmart and Target are trying to be more experiential.”

Big box retailers like Target, Kohls and Walmart have in-store speciality shops, such as Ulta or Claires.

More reasons to turn out in person includes entertainment above and beyond the movie theaters and bowling alleys of yore — Hougen mentioned the multi-purpose FieldhouseUSA gymnasium at Town Center at Aurora as an example of a new, non-retail draw for mall visitors.

The indoor sports facility opened in 2021 and took the place of a derelict Sears in the storied mall near Interstate 225 and Alameda.

In Greenwood Village, Pindustry opened last year, bringing bowling, arcade games and craft beer together under the roof of what used to be a used car business in a suburban shopping center.

“They’ve become a little bit like entertainment districts along with the shopping,” Hougen said of modern-day malls. “I think the entertainment aspect is happening right in front of us.”

ter for about six and a half years, selling everything from books and vinyl records to skulls.

“There’s nothing you can’t get here,” Davenport said of the business community on Havana. “I’m probably four times busier than when I bought the place. … It’s just gotten busier and busier all the time.”

Zhang said successful centers tend to be located centrally, with storefronts close to and facing the main road. He also said businesses that offer significant in-person shopping experiences — including stores that sell things like clothing and furniture, which people are less comfortable buying sight unseen — could be more likely to survive.

The new, new works to mix different with tradition

delay a decision on the project, giving the sponsors of the redevelopment more time to work with tenants who would be impacted. The sponsors say they have been in regular communication with tenants and neighbors, and Pachner told the council that the neighbors had “influenced the design of every edge of this building.”

Both Wells and Fruitman credited their success to a loyal customer base, who have continued supporting their stores, even after the anchors tenants left East Bank.

On the topic of redevelopments, Zhang said developers could always invest in renovating struggling retail centers while leaving the underlying model of retail anchors and tenants intact.

But he said he wasn’t sure if that

Havana Street becomes a successful outlier North and west of East Bank, much of the Havana Street corridor in Aurora is flanked by lowrise shopping centers. They’re home to an eclectic and diverse mix of businesses, from bars and restaurants to car dealerships, bingo parlors, marijuana dispensaries, small markets and more.

Chance Horiuchi, executive director of the Havana Business Improvement District, said the strip malls of Havana Street are holding their own against the retail apocalypse. In fact, she said they’re “thriving,” with around 95% of space in shopping centers filled as of late 2021.

Horiuchi said she didn’t know the “secret sauce” that’s fueled commerce along Havana while other retail centers have struggled. But she described visitors traveling from out of town to patronize storefronts.

“Our businesses are destinations,” she said. “People drive from all over to go to the little shopettes on Havana that serve Korean dumplings or halal foods.”

Ethiopian, Eritrean, Mexican, Salvadoran, Indian, Chinese and Italian food are also served on the strip. Horiuchi said more than 20 international markets are located along Havana.

She said the diversity of cultures and industries contributes to the experience of shopping on Havana — an experience that appears to be valuable for those continuing to spend money within the district.

Scott Davenport runs an antiques store in Havana Plaza, in between an Ethiopian restaurant and an Eastern European deli.

Davenport and Heirlooms Antique Mall have been in the cen-

Redevelopments such as the East Bank project require developers to strike a balance between innovation and preserving what makes a center, or a neighborhood, special.

Many of the people who live near East Bank have spoken out against the redevelopment, criticizing the apartment building’s proposed length, the potential impact on traffic and what it could mean for tenants like Pet Palace and Second Chance.

Wells said she learned about the redevelopment that would force her store to relocate from neighbors, not Kimco, their landlord of almost three decades.

While Pet Palace has signed the letter of intent that could pave the way for them to move into another space, she expressed skepticism about the ability of a residential anchor like the proposed 311 apartments to rally new business in the center.

“Our business has done well through all of the changes,” she said. “How long would it take to fill an apartment building? I’m not sure … but the businesses that are here have been here for a while.”

Fruitman was more optimistic.

“It has been a while since we’ve had a new population in this area, and it will be a great addition for my business,” he told the City Council at its meeting on Feb. 14. “As a resident, I’m always hopeful that a new project meets the needs for middle-level housing (that) metro Denver needs so desperately.”

Council members decided to

is “a durable long-term proposition.”

“The big picture is consumer behaviors have shifted,” he said.

Zhang also suggested local governments take a hard look at local demand and the market before greenlighting more retail shopping centers that could go vacant.

Wells and Hougen both encouraged residents to shop local and patronize local brick-andmortar businesses specifically.

Hougen acknowledged that online shopping is here to stay but said that, in general, he’s concerned about the future of physical retail in the city.

“I think it’s a needed service, but boy am I worried about our brick and mortar,” he said.

mma Weber’s mastery of the 100 yard breaststroke has been unmatched in Colorado girls swimming — and across the country as well — in her prep career.

The Regis Jesuit senior star — who swam the top time in the event in the entire country last season and competed in the U.S. Olympic Trials over the summer — captured her third Class 5A state championship in the event Feb. 16 when she touched the wall at Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic GIRLS STATE SWIMMING Center in 1 minute, 1.65 seconds.

Regis Jesuit took a big advantage into the swim finals based on the results of the 1-meter diving competition, which was held in its entirety in the morning due to the arrival of bad weather.

The Raiders got 52 points alone from its contingent of divers, which saw Chiara Lopach finish third, followed by Mia Henning and Sarah Mann in eighth and ninth, respectively.

Senior Grace Dale also made two championship finals (in both sprint freestyles) and combined with Weber, fellow senior Allie Sanchez and junior Sophia Frei on a meet-opening 200 yard medley relay team that finished in third place.

Frei and juniors Samantha Aguirre and Olivia Roumph each posted top-10 finishes for the Raiders, which put all three relay teams in the top five as well.

Grandview matched the second-best team finish in program history with its sixth-place result, a two-place improvement over last season.

Coach Karen Ammon’s Wolves made the championship finals heat of all three relays — topped by the seventh-place result of the 200 medley relay team of senior Skylar Nollenberger, junior Paige Dailey, sophomore Peyton Belcher and freshman Ava Zadigan — and got at least one top-20 finish from eight swimmers and two divers.

Dailey had the top individual result for Grandview with a seventh-place finish in the 100 yard breaststroke, while junior Megan Doubrava’s 11th place in the 500 freestyle topped Aurora results.

Senior Skylar Brgoch made the championship finals in both of her individual events for Cherokee Trail and the Washington State signee capped her prep career with a sixth place in the 100 yard butterfly and seventh in the 200 frestyle. The Cougars capped the meet in style with a sixth place in the 400 freestyle relay with Brgoch joining junior Morgan Walker and sophomores Emme Metzmaker and Sarah Woren.

Smoky Hill senior Annelise Thomas made the championship finals and finished 9th in the 100 butterfly.

Final touches Weber’s state championship was one of the highlights of an excellent meet for Aurora teams, which saw three teams finish in the top 12 (Regis Jesuit in third, Grandview in sixth and Cherokee Trail in 12th) and garner a slew of spots among the top 20 in each individual event.

One title defense eluded the University of Virginia-bound Weber, who finished seventh in the finals of the 200 yard individual medley, which she won in 2021, but she laid it down in the breaststroke to win by more than

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor second over Lewis-Palmer’s Sydney McKenzie.

It was the second straight state championship in the breaststroke for Weber and third straight for Regis Jesuit, as Sophia Bradac (a current swimmer at Notre Dame) won it in 2020. Weber won it the previous year as a freshman while at Fairview, but did not swim at state the year Bradac won.

Weber earned the only state title for coach Nick Frasersmith’s Regis Jesuit team, which finished in third place in the final team standings behind Cherry Creek and Fairview. It was the third straight season that saw the same three teams finish in the top three spots.

EAGLECREST’S BLYTHE CAYKO CAPS 32-0 SEASON WITH 32ND PIN, STATE TITLE AS GIRLS JOINED THE BOYS AT BALL ARENA

A

s Blythe Cayko rolled and came out on top of Calhan’s Taylor Knox, a slow smile began to spread over the Eaglecrest junior’s face Feb. 19.

She hooked Knox’s arm, forced it to the mat and let the inevitable happen — a win by fall.

Cayko completed an undefeated season with her 32nd pin of the season in 32 matches and the final one cemented her as the 185-pound state champion on the big stage at Ball Arena, where the girls state wrestling tournament took place for the first time.

“I’m pretty confident in myself as a pinner, but I have a lot of respect for Taylor because her and I are a very close match and I knew that going in,” Cayko said afterwards. “I just had this feeling and it was like ‘oh my gosh, the roll worked.’ At first I was a little worried and I have a lot of respect for her, so it feels good to win.

“It feels good, it makes all the work that I’ve put in over the last year is worth it,” she added. “You just have to trust the process.”

Cayko pinned Knox — last season’s 185-pound state champion — for the second time in a week’s span and the third time in the past month as the two had squared off in the championship match of the Douglas County Tiara Challenge Jan. 22 as well as in the Region 1 final Feb. 12.

Knox took Cayko into the third round for the first time in the Douglas County tournament match before losing by fall and got the first takedown against her in the regional match before Cayko pinned her early in the second period.

This time, Knox had a 5-4 lead after two periods and was trying to ride her out when Cayko rolled over her, came out on the other side and earned the quick pin.

Eaglecrest girls head coach Sparky Adair said he went 26-0 and won a state championship with all wins coming via pin in his prep days, so he knows the look of somebody who makes it happen every time on the mat.

“Blythe knew and it and so did I, so I just put my hands in the air,” Adair said. “She is so tough on top. …We knew she would give us a good match, but I was really confident Blythe could overcome it. She was so prepared and did so much wrestling in the last year. She did all the extra things and said ‘I’m going to be a state champion,’ and she did it.”

Cayko jumped into Adair’s arms afterwards and celebrated with him and assistant Melissa Myers as they

walked off the Ball Arena floor.

A quick elevator trip up to the suite level provided the second surreal experience as she was mobbed instantly by teammates, coaches and supporters who had helped her get there.

“I got absolutely bombarded when I went up upstairs; I feared for my life,” Cayko said wryly. “All of Eaglecrest has been so supportive of me. …It takes a village and I couldn’t do it without everybody. The boys that spar with me even when they don’t want to and the coaches that work with me and help me with my conditioning. I wouldn’t be here without all of them.”

Adair, Myers, boys head coach Javier Quintana and assistant Horacio Vialpondo Jr. and a cast of others helped give Cayko experiences in Colorado and in other places such as Fargo and Reno (where she won the Reno Tournament of Champions this season) for just this moment.

Eaglecrest also had a state finalist in the Class 5A boys state tournament in junior 106-pounder Dorian Ervin — who made it to the state championship match in his first time at state before losing a close decision — so the momentum in the Raptors’ room is real.

“There’s a lot of moving pieces, but we have a very passionate room and we have coaches that will run through a wall for them to be successful,” Quintana said.

Cayko has taken full advantage of the opportunities to get better in the sport and been willing to sacrifice all the time that it takes to be great, while she also has the intangibles that make her elite.

“Her mindset is of a champion,” Adair said. “She’s a smart kid and she’s really good in the classroom, so when you apply that to wrestling, it’s easy to be successful because she knows how to work hard and she knows it’s not just about talent.”

The end result of this season is also sweet for Cayko given the obstacle she couldn’t quite overcome last year: COVID-19.

The effects of the virus limited her, but not enough to keep her from placing at last season’s state tournament in Pueblo. Cayko finished third and that was after she was fifth as a freshman when girls wrestling was still in its pilot stage before it became a sanctioned sport last year.

“Mentally, I think it was the biggest struggle,” she said. “In my head, I wanted to be the same athlete I’ve been, but my body just couldn’t get there. It was really hard because it was so scary, it’s hard not to take it personally. To think ‘I must be a bad

Cayko earned her 32nd win by pin and it yielded her first state championship, which was the top highlight for locals as the girls state tournament took place alongside the boys for the frist time.

wrestler, I’ve forgotten all my technique, etcetera, etcetera, but you just have to bounce back.”

By winning as a junior, Cayko set herself up to potentially become a two-time state champion if she is able to do it again next year.

“I spent two months traveling this summer where I didn’t get to see my parents or anything,” Cayko said. “It was really hard and now I’m going to do it all over again this summer.

“This keeps that fire going.”

ERVIN BREAKS EAGLECREST BOYS’ STATE FINAL DROUGHT Dorian Ervin had never qualified for the Class 5A boys state wrestling tournament before, but his first time turned out to be an uncommon debut.

The 106-pound junior — known in the room for his steely demeanor and ability to handle pressure — became the first boys wrestler from the Eaglecrest program to advance to a 5A state championship match

in 16 seasons when he won his first three matches to reach the state final Feb. 19.

Eaglecrest coach Javier Quintana got a text message from Rocco DePaolo — the Raptors’ last state finalist from back in 2006 — after Ervin pinned Ponderosa’s DJ Wince in the semifinals and DePaolo hoped that the program would get a state championship.

Ervin got the first takedown in the championship match against Chaparral freshman Declan Strait,

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Cougars, Raptors, Bison move into 5A 2nd round The Class 5A girls state basketball playoffs went from 48 teams to 32 with opening round action Feb. 22 and six of Aurora’s seven qualifying teams remain alive.

Cherokee Trail topped Castle View during the regular season and did so again when the teams were matched in the opening round. The Cougars came away with a 52-33 victory that moved them to 10-13 on the season and advanced them to a Feb. 25 second round game at No. 2 Highlands Ranch (18-4).

HAMILTON SHINES THE POPULAR MUSICAL DELIVERS A TARDY BUT EPIC SHOW AT THE DCPA

W

ell, that was worth the wait.

Just a few flips of the calendar have passed since local lever-pullers announced that the Denver run of one of the greatest stage shows in a generation would, like every aspect of quotidian existence two years ago, be sucked into the delayed doldrums spurred by the pandemic. When the decision to postpone came

BY QUINCY SNOWDON, down in spring 2020, the new date landed with a seemingly unSpecial to the Sentinel attainable thud: February 2022.

Now, one election, a viral crisis firmly in toddlerhood and — at least for one of us — a career change later, Lin Manuel Miranda’s opus has finally returned to the metroplex in full, technicolor relief.

And boy does Hamilton shine.

From the clever lighting design to the sneakily jaw-dropping costumes to the triumphant choreography — God, the choreography — this iteration of Hamilton succeeds in threading a dazzling needle in seemingly incalculable ways.

Submerging the audience in the spectacle quickly and effectively explains the veritable truckload of Tony awards and tomes of written praise handed to a show that in less than a decade has elbowed its way onto the Mount Rushmore of musicals.

Like the bygone days of mask-less life, it’s difficult to remember that empty epoch before

Hamilton catapulted into the zeitgeist in 2015.

The show and its star, Miranda, have felt part of felt like pillars of Broadway since time immemorial despite the fact that the former hasn’t existed long enough to hear the cicadas emerge, and the latter wunderkind is barely at mid-life, the bastard.

Just as melodies of Bach, Beethoven and perhaps The Beatles have become ubiquitous via ringtones, advertisements and capitalism, the saccharine melodies of Hamilton have spread via a similar cultural osmosis. Even for a musical Johnny-come-lately, the show’s reprises are recognizable, resonant and just damn catchy. The sonic fortress emitted by the ensemble, swathed in all white, at the start of the very first number is enough to part even Phil Spector’s memorable mane. With winks to Biggie and the snappy yet soulful R&B that pervaded the ’90s, it’s no wonder that this auditory landscape has been embraced, if not death-gripped, by millennials and Gen-Xers since its inception.

Indeed, that any performance of Hamilton will be a raucous and eye-popping outing is something of a fait accompli. The cast — Paris Nix as both Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson and Charlotte Mary Wen as Eliza proved particularly affecting — offers a masterclass in musical theater, careening through the unimaginably dense, Busta-style rhymes that leave one

at once chortling and suspending the notion that the show centers on a crew of long-dead stodges with a penchant for powdered wigs.

At the helm, Julius Thomas III scores as the titular academic who can’t seem to stop getting in his own way despite his ceaseless aspirations for a better world. Across from him, Donald Webber, Jr. parries as the blueprint of the modern and wooden Washingtonian, baby-kissing and all. Marja Harmon and Ashley De La Rosa round out the magnetizing Schuyler cerberus, nailing their eponymous song at the beginning of the first act. And Rick Negron deserves a doff of the cap for his sassy, harpsichord-dotted turn as the sceptre-toting King George, the ruler kind enough to kill your friends and family to “remind you” of his “love.”

Braiding yuks with optimism, triumph, tragedy and earworms is no simple feat, yet the rendition currently residing in Downtown Denver pulls it off with palpable pizzaz.

It may have arrived a couple years late — yet not a dollar short, for those counting at home — but this spitfire of a musical validated every drawn-out moment of anticipation.

Completely worth the wait.

Tarot is the ancient practice of telling future and fortune through divine guidance via a deck of vibrant cards. Anthony illuminates these old photos and layers them with vibrant botanical imagery. The finished products are as refreshing as they are bold, creating a new narrative that weaves together history, art, storytelling and life’s journey.

nes de plomería y más. El programa es un préstamo de cero por ciento de interés diferido que no requiere pagos mensuales.

Todos los pagos se difieren hasta que se produce la transferencia del título, cuando se vende la propiedad, al refinanciar la obtención del valor líquido de la vivienda o el retiro de efectivo, o cuando la propiedad ya no es el lugar de residencia principal del propietario.

Las revisiones específicas del sitio de Nivel 2 se completarán para aquellas leyes y autoridades que no se abordan en la revisión amplia de nivel 1 para cada dirección bajo este programa cuando se conozcan las direcciones.

Citación de nivel de revisión ambiental: El programa de rehabilitación unifamiliar es un SUJETO de exclusión categórica y se rige por 24 CFR § 58.35(a)(3)(i).

Revisión específica del sitio de Nivel 2: Las revisiones específicas del sitio cubrirán las siguientes leyes y autoridades que no se abordaron en la revisión general del Nivel 1: Preservación Histórica (Ley Nacional de Preservación Histórica de 1966, secciones 106 y 11O; 36 CFR Parte 800) Reducción de ruido (24 CFR parte 51, Subparte B) Riesgos de explosión e inflamación (24 CFR parte 51, subparte C) Zonas despejadas de la pista del aeropuerto (24 CFR 51, Subparte D) Seguro contra inundaciones (Ley de protección contra desastres por inundaciones de 1973 y Ley de reforma del seguro nacional contra inundaciones de 1994 [42 USC 4001-4128 y 42 USC 5154a]); Manejo de Llanuras de Inundación (Orden Ejecutiva 11988, sección particular 2(a); 24 CFR Parte 55); Contaminación y Sustancias Tóxicas (24 CFR 50.3(i)(2)); Medidas/Condiciones/Permisos de mitigación (si corresponde).

1. Preservación Histórica: Si una propiedad tiene más de 50 años o está dentro de un distrito histórico, se consultará a la Oficina Estatal de Preservación Histórica (SHPO) sobre cómo proceder.

2. Reducción de ruido: Todos los sitios cuya exposición al ruido ambiental o comunitario exceda el nivel sonoro promedio (DNL) de 65 decibelios (dB) durante el día y la noche se consideran áreas afectadas por el ruido. La ciudad de Aurora requerirá que los contratistas incorporen características de atenuación de ruido en la medida requerida por los criterios y estándares ambientales de HUD contenidos en la Subparte B (Reducción y control de ruido) de 24 CFR Parte 51 en proyectos de rehabilitación de viviendas unifamiliares donde la mediación de ruido es sensible, es decir, menor Rehabilitaciones y reparaciones en el hogar en las que el estándar interior será de 45 dB. La zona de ruido “Normalmente inaceptable” incluye niveles de ruido de la comunidad desde más de 65 decibeles hasta 75 decibelios. Las aprobaciones en esta zona de ruido requieren un mínimo de 5 dB de atenuación de sonido adicional para edificios que tienen usos sensibles al ruido si el nivel de sonido promedio de día y noche es superior a 65 dB pero no supera los 70 dB, o un mínimo de 10 decibelios de sonido adicional. atenuación si el nivel sonoro medio día-noche es superior a 70 dB pero no supera los 75 dB. Las ubicaciones con niveles de ruido promedio de día y noche superiores a 75 dB tienen una exposición al ruido “inaceptable”.

3. Riesgos de explosión e inflamación: La Ciudad de Aurora reconoce que existen peligros potenciales inherentes asociados con la ubicación de proyectos asistidos por HUD cerca de instalaciones peligrosas que almacenan, manipulan o procesan sustancias peligrosas de naturaleza inflamable o explosiva. Los sitios del proyecto ubicados demasiado cerca de las instalaciones que manejan, almacenan o procesan combustibles convencionales, gases peligrosos o productos químicos de naturaleza explosiva o inflamable pueden exponer a los ocupantes o usuarios finales de un proyecto al riesgo de lesiones en caso de incendio o explosión.

La Ciudad de Aurora abordará este riesgo siguiendo las regulaciones 24 CFR Parte 51 Subparte C que requieren que los proyectos asistidos por HUD estén separados de estas instalaciones por una distancia que se base en el contenido y el volumen del tanque de almacenamiento sobre el suelo, o implementar medidas de mitigación. .

4. Zonas despejadas de la pista del aeropuerto: Si alguna de las propiedades que participan en el programa de Rehabilitación Unifamiliar de la Ciudad de Aurora está ubicada en una Zona Potencial de Accidente Aeroportuario, se notificará al propietario sobre el riesgo potencial de la ubicación de la propiedad.

www.publicnoticecolorado.com 5. Seguro/Administración de Inundaciones: Se llevará a cabo una revisión específica del sitio de cada estructura luego de la identificación de los proyectos reales para garantizar que no se realice ningún trabajo en una llanura aluvial o cauce de inundación de 100 años identificado por los mapas de tasas de seguro contra inundaciones (FIRM) emitidos por FEMA. Los fondos de CDBG no se utilizarán para la rehabilitación de estructuras ubicadas en un Área especial de riesgo de inundación (SFHA).

6. Gestión de llanuras aluviales La Ciudad de Aurora utilizará el Mapa de Tasas de Seguro contra Inundaciones (FIRM) de FEMA para determinar si el proyecto se encuentra en o cerca de una llanura aluvial. En la mayoría de las áreas, los Mapas de Tarifas de Seguro contra Inundaciones (FIRM) están disponibles en línea a través del Centro de Servicio de Mapas de FEMA. Cuando FEMA proporciona Elevaciones de inundación base de asesoramiento (ABFE) o FIRM y estudios preliminares, la Ciudad de Aurora debe usar la última de estas fuentes a menos que ABFE o FIRM preliminar permitan una Elevación de inundación base (BFE) más baja que la FIRM y FIS actuales. Cuando estén disponibles, los mapas de FEMA indican las llanuras aluviales de la siguiente manera: Las llanuras aluviales de 100 años se designan como Zona A1–30, AE, A, AH, AO, AR o A99.

Las llanuras aluviales de 500 años se designan como Zona B o Zona X sombreada.

Los cauces de inundación se designan como Zona AE sombreada.

Las áreas costeras de alto riesgo se designan en un Mapa de tarifas de seguro contra inundaciones (FIRM) según las regulaciones de FEMA como Zona V1–30, VE o V. Para proyectos en áreas no mapeadas por FEMA, la Ciudad de Aurora usará la mejor información disponible para determinar la información de llanuras aluviales. La Ciudad de Aurora utilizará la documentación para mostrar por qué esta es la mejor información disponible para el sitio. Las fuentes que ameritan investigación incluyen los archivos y/o estudios de otras agencias federales, como el Cuerpo de Ingenieros del Ejército de los EE. UU., el Servicio de Conservación del Suelo y el Servicio Geológico de los EE. UU. 7. Contaminación y Sustancias Tóxicas Las revisiones específicas del sitio utilizarán el programa de mapeo NEPAssist de la EPA, junto con inspecciones visuales para identificar cualquier problema de contaminación. Si hay problemas de contaminación, la ciudad determinará si el proyecto puede cumplir o si el proyecto no puede continuar.

Costo total estimado del proyecto: se estima que la financiación tendrá una duración de 3 años, con un desglose de costos de; 2021 por un monto de $1,500,000, 2022 por un monto de $1,500,000 y 2023 por un monto de $1,500,000 por un costo total de aproximadamente $4,500,000 en financiamiento CDBG. La actividad/actividades propuestas están categóricamente excluidas bajo las regulaciones de HUD en 24 CFR Parte 58 de los requisitos de la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental (NEPA) según 24 CFR § 58.35(a)(3)(i). Un Registro de revisión ambiental (ERR) que documenta las determinaciones ambientales para este proyecto está archivado en 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy Aurora, CO. 80012 y puede examinarse o copiarse los días de semana de 8 a.m. a 5 p.m. o se puede encontrar en https://www. hudexchange.info/programs/environmental-review/environmental-review-records/.

Level of Environmental Review Citation: The Single-Family Rehabilitation program is a Categorical Exclusion SUBJECT to and falls under 24 CFR § 58.35(a)(3)(i).

Tier 2 Site Specific Review: The site-specific reviews will cover the following laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review: Historic Preservation (National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, sections 106 and 11O; 36 CFR Part 800) Noise Abatement (24 CFR part 51, Subpart B)

Airport Runway Clear Zones (24 CFR 51, Subpart D) Flood Insurance (Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 [42 USC 4001-4128 and 42 USC 5154a]; Floodplain Management (Executive Order 11988, particular section 2(a); 24 CFR Part 55); Contamination and Toxic Substances (24 CFR 50.3(i)(2)); Mitigation (if any).

Measures/Conditions/Permits

1. Historic Preservation: If a property is over 50 years old or is within a historic district the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) will be consulted as how to proceed.

2. Noise Abatement: All sites whose environmental or community noise exposure exceeds the day night average sound level (DNL) of 65 decibels (dB) are considered noise-impacted areas.

The City of Aurora will require, contractors to incorporate noise attenuation features to the extent required by HUD environmental criteria and standards contained in Subpart B (Noise Abatement and Control) of 24 CFR Part 51 in Single Family Rehabilitation projects were noise mediation is sensible i.e. Minor Home Rehabs and Home Repair in which the interior standard will be 45dB. The “Normally Unacceptable” noise zone includes community noise levels from above 65 decibels to 75 decibels. Approvals in this noise zone require a minimum of 5 dB additional sound attenuation for buildings having noise-sensitive uses if the day-night average sound level is greater than 65 dB but does not exceed 70 dB, or a minimum of 10 decibels of additional sound attenuation if the day-night average sound level is greater than 70 dB but does not exceed 75 dB. Locations with day-night average noise levels above 75 dB have “Unacceptable” noise exposure.

3. Explosive and Flammable Hazards: The City of Aurora recognizes that there are inherent potential dangers associated with locating HUD-assisted projects near hazardous facilities which store, handle, or process hazardous substances of a flammable or explosive nature. Project sites located too close to facilities handling, storing or processing conventional fuels, hazardous gases or chemicals of an explosive or flammable nature may expose occupants or end-users of a project to the risk of injury in the event of a fire or an explosion.

The City of Aurora will address this risk by following regulations 24 CFR Part 51 Subpart C requiring HUD-assisted projects to be separated from these facilities by a distance that is based on the contents and volume of the aboveground storage tank, or to implement mitigation measures.

4. Airport Runway Clear Zones: If any of the properties participating in the City of Aurora’s Single Family Rehab program are located in an Airport Accident Potential Zone, then the owner will be notified of the potential risk of the property’s location.

5. Flood Insurance/Management: A site-specific review of each structure will be undertaken upon identification of actual projects to assure that no work will be done in a 100 year floodplain or floodway identified by FEMA-issued Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). CDBG funds will not be used for rehab of structure located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).

6. Floodplain Management The City of Aurora will use the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) to determine whether the project is in or near a floodplain. In most areas, Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are available online through

the FEMA Map Service Center. When FEMA provides Advisory Base Flood Elevations (ABFE) or preliminary FIRMs and studies, the City of Aurora must use the latest of these sources unless the ABFE or preliminary FIRM allow a lower Base Flood Elevation (BFE) than the current FIRM and FIS. Where available, FEMA maps indicate floodplains as follows:

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

100-year floodplains are designated as Zone A1–30, AE, A, AH, AO, AR, or A99.

500-year floodplains are designated as Zone B or a shaded Zone X.

As required by the Colorado Liquor Code, as amended, notice is hereby given that an application for a Fermented Malt Beverage Off Premises Liquor License has been received by the Local Licensing Authority for the granting of a license to sell Fermented Malt Beverage for Consumption Off Premises Only.

For projects in areas not mapped by the FEMA, the City of Aurora will use the best available information to determine floodplain information. The City of Aurora will use documentation to show why this is the best available information for the site.

Sources which merit investigation include the files and/or studies of other federal agencies, such as the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Soil Conservation Service and the U. S. Geological Survey.

7. Contamination and Toxic Substances Site specific reviews will utilize the EPA mapping program NEPAssist, along with visual inspections to identify any contamination issues. If contamination issues are present, the city will determine if the project can be made compliant or if the project cannot proceed.
