Draw the line at letting kids with guns back into Colorado’s public schools

Lots of the fallout from the Denver East High School shooting tragedy is debatable. There is, however, no compelling reason to allow any student who’s been tabbed as a gun threat anywhere near a traditional public school.

In what appears to have been a textbook case of why Colorado has a Red Flag Law — to ensure people deemed dangerous around guns aren’t around any guns — 17-year-old Austin Lyle shot two East High School administrators as they were patting him down during a gun check — at the school.

The backstory of how a 17-year-old boy found himself patted down daily at the school before he could go inside has been made public only because reporters like Allison Sherry of Colorado Public Radio persuaded officials, off the record, to piece together Lyle’s life before he shot two school administrators and then killed himself miles away in the mountains.

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of anxious, and sometimes petrified, parents and students across the state want to know which students at their own schools have pasts similar to Lyle’s and get patted down at school, or don’t.

At the same time, state lawmakers and school officials are champing at the bit to act to prevent similar school shootings at a time when it seems that everyone is powerless to prevent any kind of shooting.

Lyle’s life was heartbreaking, as recollected by sources talking to Sherry at Colorado Public Radio.

“Lyle’s legal trouble with guns started with a 2021 tip to the Safe2Tell hotline forwarded to Overland High School in the Cherry Creek School District,” Sherry wrote for Denverite, a part of Colorado Public Radio. “It said he had posted a Snapchat image of himself holding a gun surrounded by what was described as a large amount of ammunition.”

I can’t imagine any parent anywhere in Colorado who isn’t horrified at the thought of their child going to school with someone who posts social media pictures like that.

Police essentially got nowhere in questioning Lyle, according to the story. They let him go but did call his mother, who found a gun in Lyle’s bedroom and turned it over to police.

It was, as told to Sherry, an assault-style rifle with a silencer and a 30-round magazine.

“A law enforcement source who spoke to CPR News called it a socalled ghost gun, an untraceable weapon usually purchased in kits that people can put together at home,” Sherry wrote. “It is unknown where Lyle got the gun, or if he assembled it himself.”

He was convicted in Arapahoe County juvenile court, reportedly, of possessing the gun and expelled from Overland.

He moved to Florida with family,

then back to Denver, failing a diversion program that required no further gun trouble, and he was placed on probation, according to Sherry’s report.

And he ended up at East High School, where he would be allowed to go if he succumbed to daily pat downs.

You can see the balancing act here.

He’s a young kid whose life could easily be tanked for good by not being able to backtrack over his dangerously stupid plunge into American ammophilia.

As a society and community, do we give kids like Lyle a second chance and send them back into the mainstream, risking what actually happened?

It’s very easy at this point to say, oh hell no. Asking the question, “what could go wrong,” was answered plainly last week when Lyle shot and wounded the school administrators charged with checking him daily for guns, and then driving into the mountains to kill himself.

In a far better world, children like Lyle and adults like Congressperson Lauren Boebert would understand that firearms are dangerous devices to be handled as such. They’re not toys or props used in photos to salve some deep-seated psychological problem or strap on as adornments and virtue signals to appeal to political fans who share a deep-seated psychological problem.

It’s far too late for that. Some state lawmakers from the Western Slope are threatening outright civil war over attempts to keep military arms out of the hands of people, many just like Lyle.

Nope. The catalog of mail-order firepower is out of the bag and into the hands disturbed children and adults.

The New York Times last week reported that the most likely source of illegal guns comes from parked cars.

That’s right, local folks run out and get gats to protect themselves from other people who run out and get gats, store them under the driver’s seat or in the glove box, providing even the most tepid thief a free — often loaded — gun, along with whatever loose change and breath mints they can find in the car console.

So what say you, Colorado? Send kids like Lyle back to school, as long as they agree to pat downs on the playground and don’t shoot anyone in the process?

I would say no. Not at my kid’s school.

It’s hard to tell just how many of these “situations” there are anywhere in the metroplex. Denver and Aurora Public Schools won’t say how many “safety plan” students they deal with, or which of them involve guns or knives or tactical nukes.

That would violate student privacy, they say.

It’s easy to understand how getting caught sneaking a loaded gun into school, or threatening to do it, would tarnish someone’s reputation.

And it would be amazing that a kid who did something that dangerous would be drawn into intensive mental health treatment and probably a world deep in social services, turned around, never to do anything so horrifying again for the rest of their life.

But until the police, the schools and the courts can make it clear that kids like Lyle are either treated for their issues with ammo and guns, and cured of it, sending them back into the mainstream school community is a recipe for just what happened, or even worse.

Heart of Dem affordable housing mandates don’t pass the stress test

Democratic state lawmakers and Gov. Jared Polis are poised to make the desperate affordable housing situation stay about the same — or worse — with a catalog of well-meaning measures.

Amid great hoopla, Democrats and Polis last week unveiled a trove of measures that seek to push down the cost of apartment rents and homes for sale.

While some of the notions might be helpful, the underlying logic is flawed: State lawmakers can’t create one-size-fits all solutions to Colorado affordable housing woes. The foundation of the idea is anathema to good land-use and economics policy.

The series of bills seeks to force large metro cities, smaller towns and even the smallest Colorado bergs to allow more apartments, condos, townhomes and multiplex housing to be built.

The assumption is that the vast majority of municipalities preclude such projects.

You don’t have to travel far in Aurora to see that this town of almost 400,000 people took one of its many monikers as the “Land of the Three-Story Walk-up” for good reason. By design and practice, Aurora has grown, primarily, because it has offered little but affordable housing.

This is a city that has vast tracts of developable land, much of it zoned for high-density housing, water to support the projects and people to buy into it.

Still, rents and home prices are extraordinarily high here and across the metro area.

While the problem is complex, the most obvious force at work against affordability is supply and demand. Colorado, and especially its urban areas, have seen unprecedented growth in the past decade.

The growth has by far outpaced homebuilding, a dilemma made even worse during the pandemic.

While there are certainly things state and local governments can do to promote affordable housing, top-down, one-size-fits-all mandates on local land use is a recipe for immediate and long-term disaster.

Here are just a few of the obvious problems with this plan:

• It creates land-use mandates for municipalities, but not for contiguous counties. In the metro-plex, county and city boundaries are intertwined everywhere, and much unincorporated land is just as suited for high-density development.

• The measure ignores the fact that vast numbers of homes have been purchased by companies or people who don’t live in them, often with cash. There’s nothing to prevent commercial ventures from buying up triplexes and other high-density homes as well, keeping rents high and home ownership low.

• The measure, as proposed, would either disregard or even work against other legislation that prevents counties and cities from irresponsibly building any kind of homes without substantiating there are water resources to maintain it, even during droughts. Places such as Douglas County, heavily dependent on groundwater, should be limited in development and not encouraged.

• There appears to be no anticipation of unintended consequences, such as preventing cities averse to high-density housing from forcing it into industrial or undesirable parts of town, creating future ghettos.

• Requirements to allow what are essentially home-building on lots with existing homes, for structures like “mother-in-law” homes, could create disastrous problems if mandates supersede safe and sensible building codes. Especially in older areas where larger lots were the norm and best suited for such structures, aging water supplies, sewers and drainage are real concerns.

Some of the proposals from this package of bills certainly have merit. Limitations of non-related tenants — rules often created with racist motivations — are unfair and unwise.

Also a push from the state to create communities less dependent on owning a car and making long commutes are important ideas. But those strategies cannot be successfully implemented without ensuring mass transit, schools, job market and other land-use features are weighed, considered and controlled.

We agree that both state and local governments should do something to press back against the market forces that have pushed the cost of living past sustainability, but the bulk of these measures are too illogical and impractical, especially in a state as drastically diverse as Colorado.

US is bracing for Stormy weather

As we await word of a seemingly imminent Trump indictment, it has been highly entertaining to hear his defenders twist themselves into pretzels in order to excuse the fact he paid a porn star $130,000 on the eve of the 2016 election to hide an extramarital tryst.

If Trump is indeed indicted, there will be plenty of time to debate whether his payoffs – via his attorney Michael Cohen, who posted the hush money and was later reimbursed – violated New York laws that prohibit the falsification of business records. What we do know for sure is his behavior during the entire Stormy Daniels scandal – canoodling with her while his wife was home nursing a newborn baby, letting Cohen take the fall and go to jail – was repugnantly amoral.

But wait! His diehards don’t agree with that. Most vociferous of all are the self-styled moralists who think they have God on speed dial.

For instance, here’s evangelist Franklin Graham: “The charges (in the Stormy case) are definitely politically motivated. I would like to ask Christians across this country to pray specifically for former President Trump, that God’s hand would be upon him, protect him, and direct him in every step he takes – and that God’s will be done.”

The thing is, I’m old enough to remember the 1998 version of Franklin Graham, who fumed in high moral dudgeon when President Clinton was outed for his canoodles with Monica Lewinsky. He warned that if an American leader “will lie to or mislead his wife, those with whom he is most intimate, what will prevent him from doing the same to the American public?”

The mantra back then, on the self-righteous Republican right, was “personal responsibility.” Gary Bauer, leader of the evangelical Family Research Council, said: “Character counts – in a people, in the institutions of our society, and in our national leadership.” Thanks to Clinton, he said, “our kids have been taught that fidelity is old-fashioned, that adultery is the norm. (The Lewinsky affair) is the equivalent of a cultural oil spill.”

William Bennett, one of the most vocal Republican moralists, spoke about the loss of America’s “compelling moral power” during the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, warning if Americans accept his behavior, we will have committed “an unthinking act of moral and intellectual disarmament.”

Two decades later Bennett supported Trump, thus draining his moral power.

Ditto Tony Perkins, head of the Christian Coali-

tion, who shrugged off the Stormy Daniels news when it first broke: “We kind of gave Trump – ‘All right, you get a mulligan. You get a do-over here.’”

By now it’s no mystery why these hypocrites behave this way. Fealty to the tribe trumps moral consistency; in the naked pursuit of power, everything is expendable. In defense of Trump, it’s even deemed fair game to smear the nation they profess to love – as evidenced by Tucker Carlson’s homily this week: “In fact, settlements like (in the Stormy case) are common…Paying people not to talk about things, hush money, is ordinary in modern America.”

Right, because it’s ordinary for modern Americans like us to be identified in hush-money documents with pseudonyms like “David Dennison” and “Individual-1.”

I’m also old enough to remember that the Republican House of 1998 impeached Clinton for his amoral behavior. The Republican House of 2023 doesn’t give two hoots about Trump’s amoral behavior (Kevin McCarthy says the hush money was merely a “personal” matter). Instead, House leaders are vowing to “investigate” the Manhattan DA, despite having no jurisdiction, because local prosecutors don’t receive any federal funds.

All told, the late (and sane) conservative columnist Michael Gerson got it right several years ago when he nailed the erstwhile moralists on the Republican right: “The priests have become acolytes…The gag reflex is entirely gone.” As egregiously evidenced this week, they’re still in thrall to (or in fear of) America’s most notorious knave, treating their own reputations as collateral damage.

But now for some good news (I kid you not):

Their Faustian pact with Trump infuriates the majority of Americans who dwell outside the MAGA dreamworld – including mainstream Christians, who try to live their moral principles without craven political calculation. How likely is it that Trump, if indicted, will rally the exhausted majority to his side? That he will add any swing voters to his hardcore base? Not likely, because 65 percent of Americans now believe, according to a new national poll, that he has “definitely” or “probably” committed crimes.

So let the hypocrites carp. On the cusp of this historic indictment season, God ain’t taking their calls.

HIGH STAKES FOR THE NEXT SUPERINTENDENT OF AURORA PUBLIC SCHOOLS

BY CARINA

Adivided board. A mistrustful public. Lagging academic achievement. Rising youth violence.

The Aurora school board is searching for a new superintendent, who will face these issues and more.

“It’s the superintendent who sets that tone and builds that team and drives that momentum,” said Aurora school board President Debbie Gerkin. “So what’s at stake is whether we get a leader who can do that or one who can’t.”

Aurora’s next superintendent will be the district’s first new leader in nearly a decade. That person will have to navigate a feuding board, restore trust with the community, and get buy-in for their vision. At the same time, the ideal candidate would figure out how to meet the needs of a diverse student body, improve mental health services and academic performance, and find a fair way to deal with school closures and shifting enrollment.

A look at recent years shows how challenging the job is. Superintendent Rico Munn abruptly announced in December that he’d leave at the end of the school year, and he stepped into the background while the board named an interim leader.

Board members declined to reveal reasons for Munn’s departure and talk about whether they want a change in course for his long-term projects. Recent disagreements in public meetings included anger over school closures and a lack of trust in efforts to engage the community.

School board members are interviewing six unnamed semi-finalists from among 28 appli-

cants and are expected to announce three finalists as soon as next week.

The search profile describes an ideal candidate as having a background in education, something that the previous superintendent didn’t have, and a track record working with diverse communities and in a large school district.

An immediate challenge would be navigating dynamics of a divided board, which could change in the fall, when three of seven members are up for election.

A divided board splits on priorities

How the school board relates to its next superintendent will affect how much trust people feel in the district.

For a superintendent to be effective, they need clear guidance from the board. But the school board has struggled to agree on how the superintendent should manage the district.

A report on the community’s views of the district named board governance as one of the district’s main challenges.

“Comments included that the Board does not appear to understand their role and the governance model, can be ineffective in their communication, unfocused, and have appeared divisive and not aligned on priorities resulting in the appearance to work against each other and district leadership,” the report presented earlier this month said.

Board members have not contradicted the finding. In an interview, Gerkin said that it didn’t come as a shock.

“It is hard to see it in writing of course, but

not a surprise,” she said.

She said the board is committed to addressing their challenges and is united in understanding the importance of selecting the next superintendent.

“We’re seven different individuals, and every one of us is passionate about kids and passionate about education,” she said. “Different people with different ideas and lots of passion don’t always agree on how to put that together.”

Linnea Reed-Ellis, president of the teachers union, said she thought “productive disagreement” among the board members was OK. The board majority often has voiced similar criticisms of the district as the union, particularly in discussions about the facilities plan Blueprint APS and certain pandemic-era measures.

The report also mentioned a lack of trust across the organization, which search firm associate Scott Siegfried speculated was driven by issues with the Blueprint APS.

Reed-Ellis framed the issue as “a lack of clarity in vision as to what we are pursuing as a district.”

Whether or not the district’s next leader and the board want to change course, they still will face the same issue of changing enrollment patterns.

Aurora enrollment has fallen as families flee the western parts of the district closest to Denver, where rents and home values are rising faster than family incomes, and as lower birth rates contribute to fewer students. However, new developments out east are attracting more families with

children. The demographics of the two sides differ. Munn wanted to make changes equitable, to avoid putting the new schools only in the east and closing campuses only in the west.

Gerkin said that ensuring that the Blueprint changes are implemented transparently and equitably will be a critical task for the new superintendent.

“We definitely don’t want the east side of town to be all new and shiny and older parts of the district to just look old and uninviting,” she said. “It depends on what the buildings look like, what kind of resources you’re putting into the buildings, all those things are important for the next superintendent to be working on.”

Achievement has risen in Aurora

Munn’s administration boosted student achievement. Graduation rates rose, expulsions dropped, and the gap in graduation rates of students of color and their white peers narrowed. Together, those gains lifted Auro-

ra off the state’s watchlist for low performance.

Still, some schools have struggled to raise academic achievement. Student engagement plummeted when the pandemic forced students to learn remotely. And now, academic achievement at those schools still lags.

That worries Mordecai Brownlee, president of the Community College of Aurora, and a parent in the school district.

To boost opportunities for Aurora graduates, the community college partners with Aurora schools on concurrent enrollment — where students earn college credit for classes taken in high school — and plans for a new program in construction management on the college’s CentreTech campus.

“You’ve certainly got to look at the amount of students who are failing to achieve a credential of higher education once they leave APS,” Brownlee said. “We owe it to this community to figure that out together.”

The school board set goals to

close achievement gaps and accelerate learning but set them aside two years ago to focus on the emotional and social needs of children.

Munn worried that would hurt school ratings once the state’s accountability system returned in full force. In Colorado’s system, schools that have five years of low ratings face state-mandated improvement plans that could include closure. This past year’s ratings were meant to only give the public an indication of where academics stand and don’t move schools closer to outside intervention. But if Aurora schools score similarly this year, many more may be on a path toward state intervention.

For schools with multiple years of low ratings, Munn’s approach was to create district plans to turn them around before the state stepped in. He succeeded in preempting state-ordered plans. That approach is one of many things that may change with new district leadership.

Reed-Ellis said she hopes that the new superintendent will be willing to see students “holistically” and investigate other ways to measure learning and growth besides standardized testing.

“We all know our students are more than a test score,” she said.

Aurora’s diversity is a strength and a challenge

The superintendent search firm’s community surveys and forums found that people view the diversity of the Aurora school community as special and a challenge. The district struggles at times to meet the needs of all of its students and to retain a workforce that is reflective of its student body.

According to the district’s website, the district’s 38,000-plus students come from more than 130

Aurora Water provides assistance to residents, banks, mortgage companies, insurance and real estate agents who need flood hazard information. The department can make map determinations for properties that appear on the current effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the city of Aurora. The following information is available on request for each property location:

countries and speak more than 160 languages. About 56% of students are Hispanic, 18% are Black, 13.4% are white, and 5% are Asian. Nearly 75% of the district’s students qualify for subsidized meals, an indicator of poverty.

“We need a good leader in our school because schools often serve as anchors for the community and often serve as safe spaces for immigrants and refugee youth,” said Harry Budisidharta, executive director of Aurora’s Asian Pacific Development Center.

“We need a leader that has experience working with diverse communities and has a track record of building bridges.”

Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said he hopes the district continues its after-school programs, supported by a 2018 voter-approved tax increase. They are a great place for kids when parents are working late, he said, and the city needs to offer students safe spaces. These programs also offer physical activities and help students with academics and social and emotional needs.

“Here you have essentially working families that are relatively poor and to relieve them of essentially a lot of day care costs and in a great environment for the kids, we couldn’t replicate that as a city, yet it’s something we’re trying to do,” Coffman said.

Community members overwhelmingly said APS needs someone who has a record of addressing the needs of a diverse student body, including breaking barriers for non-English speaking students and their families.

“We’re quick to talk about diversity, how diversity-rich Aurora is, but that also comes with responsibility,” said Brownlee of the Community College of Aurora.

“We can’t just dwell here; we’ve got to take care of and create these pathways for economic mobility for these families. The American dream has to be realized, and education is critical in that.”

Student needs include mental health alongside academics

Several people said the next superintendent must ensure the district cares for its diverse community — including its mental health.

quent pandemic-related school disruptions. Some are juggling jobs and caring for siblings or have lost housing due to rising rents.

In 2021 two shootings outside high schools injured nine students and renewed conversations about gun violence and youth gang activity. More recent shootings haven’t occurred on school property, but community violence continues to affect students.

In focus groups with high school students, the search firm found that two main issues were violence and drugs in schools. Some students don’t feel safe walking to school and have called for better transportation options.

Aurora’s school district added mental health supports for students and staff and budgeted millions of dollars in federal pandemic relief funding for social and emotional learning programs designed to boost students’ well-being.

Reed-Ellis said that she believes continuing to provide these types of support — for employees as well as students — is paramount.

“How do we create schools that are truly responsive to our new world?” she said. “A lot of that seems to be around mental health and social emotional learning for students and adults.”

Budisidharta agrees that youth mental health is one of the area’s most pressing issues.

“We need a leader that will champion and prioritize mental health services and work with local community partners to make sure these youth get the mental health services they need regardless of their ethnicity or immigration status or income,” he said.

None of this will be easy, but the right superintendent candidate will see more than challenges, community leaders said.

“You don’t see problems, you see opportunities,” Brownlee said. “For someone that’s looking at this opportunity, it needs to be purpose work. It needs to be why you’ve been put here to do this work.”

AROUND AURORA

Aurora names retired female Texas cop as interim deputy chief

Aurora Interim Police Chief Art Acevedo named Heather Morris as interim deputy chief last week, elevating an outside law enforcement officer to the second-highest role in the police department.

Acevedo and Morris worked at the same time for Houston’s Police Department, where Acevedo served as chief prior to a brief stint as Miami’s top cop in 2021. Morris retired from Houston’s department in 2021 as assistant chief. She brings 22 years of experience in patrol, field training, DUI enforcement and criminal and internal affairs investigations, according to a news release.

“I’ve always believed in working with the community and being a true representative of the people we serve every day, no matter my title,” Morris said in the release.

“The idea of coming to Aurora and helping move the department forward, having a hand in the positive steps we’re taking, I knew I wanted to be part of that. I plan on working with the community and finding ways to bring them into our processes so everyone understands our department and the good work we’re doing.”

Morris received a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in criminology from the University of Houston. She also spent time as deputy chief of the Miami Police Department under Acevedo during his time there.

According to a job description shared by Aurora police, the deputy chief job includes diverse responsibilities such as budgeting, interagency coordination, management, training, communication, planning and discipline. Morris may also be expected to act as chief in Acevedo’s absence.

City spokesman Ryan Luby said he did not believe Morris’ employment contract had an end date but was instead open-ended like Acevedo’s.

Police spokesman Matt Wells-Longshore said the “interim” nature of the role reflected the fact that the city has still not settled on a new permanent police chief, but that Morris will perform all of the duties of a deputy chief.

Acevedo said in the news release that he recognized a “desire for fresh perspective” among officers since arriving in Aurora in December.

“Deputy Chief Morris is a seasoned police executive who has a record of sustained excellence throughout her over two decades of service,” he said. “She is a high energy, ethical professional, and is committed to organizational excellence. I have witnessed first-hand the positive impact she has had on the teams she led.”

Morris said she looks forward to involving herself in the community and trying outdoor sports. She is scheduled to be sworn in April 3.

APS, Cherry Creek schools mum on student pat-downs, ‘safety plans’

Officials in APS and Cherry Creek said they could not comment on whether any students had safety plans similar to those of the East High School shooting suspect, who was under an agreement to be patted down for weapons before entering the building each day.

The shooting, which sent two school administrators to the hospital, prompted the DPS school board to reverse course and allow the superintendent to station up to two armed police officers at each high school for the remainder of the school year. The board had previously voted in 2020 to phase out its school resource officer program.

However, the law enforcement agencies that provide school resources officers to Aurora schools said that searching a student would be the responsibility of the schools except for under specific circumstances.

“Our SROs are not the ones who would administer pat downs,” said Aurora Police Department spokesperson Sydney Edwards.

If a student has a safety plan, it’s the responsibility of school officials to implement it. Police can conduct a search if there is a credible threat that a specific student is armed but “officers can’t just pat down students every day just because,” Edwards said.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, which provides school resources for Eaglecrest High School, also does not participate in safety plans.

“We don’t instigate that stuff, we help the school out but we’re not the driving force behind those safety plans,” spokesperson Ginger Delgado said.

She described the school resource officers as serving in a peacekeeping capacity.

“If Denver had them, it might have deterred something like that — we don’t know,” she said.

Who should be responsible for searching students is a source of disagreement. Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said last week that he would not want his officers to conduct searches, and DPS superintendent Alex Marrero said district employees will continue to be responsible for them, according to reporting in Chalkbeat Colorado.

However, National Association of School Resource Officers Executive Director Mo Canady told Chalkbeat he did not think it was fair to require civilians to conduct weapons searches.

“That’s a law enforcement role, that’s what we’re trained to do, and we know how to handle the gun if one is found,” he said.

Both Aurora districts said that student privacy regulations barred them from providing information about any individual safety plans.

APS spokesperson Corey Christiansen provided a link to the district’s policy on searches and arrests of students.

“The principal or one authorized by the principal may request a search on school premises be conducted by a law enforcement officer,” the policy reads. “When law enforcement authorities are involved in the search, the search will be conducted under criminal law standards rather than under the provisions of this policy.”

Safety plans are not uncommon for students to have, and are a part of both APS and CCSD’s standard security protocols. However, Franci Crepeau-Hobson, a University of Colorado Denver professor special-

izing in school violence prevention, said that daily pat downs are rare.

“Clearly they were concerned,” Crepeau-Hobson told the Associated Press. “I can’t imagine they’d do that if there wasn’t a history of the kid carrying a weapon.”

Cherry Creek spokesperson Lauren Snell said that the goal of safety plans are “to ensure the wellbeing of the student involved and also to protect the safety of other students and staff at the school.”

“We do have the authority under policy to do pat-downs with student safety plans,” she said in an email.

“However, it is not typical that we utilize pat-downs as part of student safety plans. Components of student safety plans could include random searches of persons and belongings, restrictive scheduling, or checking in with students on a regular basis.”

Duncan said. That’s just where I’m at. We don’t get paid for this job, there’s a lot of emotional stress that goes into this job, there’s people that may or may not be here after November of this year so I don’t really want us to go through a kumbaya together and have to do it again in November with a whole new reiteration of the board. I don’t want to waste my time.”

Duncan also said he was frustrated by being misidentified during board roll call votes and by district employees misspelling his name in emails.

“I just, I have no interest,” he said. “That’s where I’m at personally.”

Ortiz said she was sympathetic to Duncan’s concerns about the election but she also wanted to be responsive to the issues raised in the HYA report.

“I don’t want to be negligent for the next six months,” she said.

She particularly said she would like the board to do some work on diversity, equity and inclusion and said she had an organization in mind that might be a good fit.

Board member Michael Carter said that he would support doing some type of trust building work but returned to Duncan’s comments.

“Sitting up here and putting in all this work and then feeling you’re being disrespected by your colleagues is difficult,” he said. “If we can find a way to come to an understanding regarding that respect, I’m in favor. But if all we’re going to do is go into our corners and come out swinging, I agree with him, I have no interest in that.”

Regardless of which board members are in office in six months, “the kids will still be here,” he said.

Reinhard said she agreed with points made around the dais and wondered if they could start something at the August retreat.

“There is a lack of trust here,” she said. “It’s a little heartbreaking that it’s become obvious enough that it’s not just us who recognize that. There is healing to be done in that respect.”

Duncan asked if the discussion could be tabled so that board members could research more options before voting on anything. Both he and Ortiz said they had other options in mind that they could bring to the board.

Mason questioned how effective bringing in an outside consultant would be, saying that the board has to look at “the root cause” of what’s driving the distrust.

“We can bring someone in here, but I don’t need another group of people who don’t know us to come in and tell us why we don’t trust each other,” she said. “I don’t need it. I need for us to look at ourselves and each other and look deep and speak the truth about why we don’t trust. And our community has a right to know why we don’t trust each other.”

In the next six months, she said she wants to make a real difference for students.

“I want to leave with my head up and say I did the work and I did my job being on this board,” she said. “And I need all of us together collectively to make that happen. I can’t do it by myself.”

Gerkin said that the board members could submit more options and that they could have another conversation about this during the next business meeting in April. She said that the board owes it to the district and the incoming superintendent to do the best job that it can.

“I know I have hurt people. I know I have not always been the best I can be,” she said. “I want to be different, I want to change that, I want us to work together. But I agree if we’re not committed it won’t work.”

Duncan said he wasn’t sure if the board was willing to be honest enough to address its issues, and that the only reason he is on the board is for the kids — the board members don’t need to like each other.

“We don’t have to be friends and pals,” Gerkin said.

“But we need to trust that you’re going to make the best decision for our kids,” Duncan said. “I don’t think we need to spend money for somebody to come in and work on our interpersonal issues for us to get there. I don’t think we need to do that, because we’re not going to be honest enough with ourselves for us to work together collaboratively as a team.”

COPS AND COURTS Teen shot dead outside Town Center at Aurora mall Saturday night, suspect sought

An unidentified teen boy is dead after a shooting in the parking lot of the Town Center at Aurora mall Saturday that began with some kind of dispute in the food court as the mall was getting ready to close, police said.

Aurora Interim Police Chief Art Acevedo told reporters later that just after shots were fired at about 8 p.m. by apparently one person, police were on the scene administering CPR to the victim, who was pronounced dead at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

Uniformed, off-duty officers providing security at the mall and a movie multiplex across the parking lot responded immediately first to the reported altercation inside the mall and then the shooting outside, police said.

The shooting occurred on the west side of the mall, outside Dillards, police reported.

Acevedo said they are certain they will find the shooter.

“If you are the individual, turn yourself in,” Acevedo told reporters. “Because we are going to catch you.”

Police said the relationship between the shooter and victim was undetermined so far.

Acevedo said the shooting was indicative of widespread recent violence he blames on local judges for releasing convicts to commit more crimes.

“We’re chasing these young people in one door and out the other,” Acevedo said. “Folks get hurt and folks get killed.”

He said “it’s time for the courts and the Legislature to get serious about juvenile violence.”

It’s unclear from state or Aurora records how much crime is committed by people previously convicted of other crimes, but the city, as well as communities in the metroplex, have reported an alarming increase in shootings and other violent crimes during the past few years, according to Aurora and Denver police records. Aurora police recorded more than 200 shootings in 2022.

The chief also talked about an apparently unrelated and unreleased “crime spree” in Aurora earlier in the day involving possibly multiple car-jackings. In that case four unidentified juveniles were arrested and at least one is suspected in a shooting.

He said the metro community, including parents, must reel in juveniles and talked about the need for a juvenile curfew.

“When (juveniles) get releases, we’re going to start keeping tabs and start reporting,” he said. He challenged the media to report on those efforts.

The city earlier this month announced a new program intending to guide violent teens and young adults away from crime and violence and advise them continuing criminal activity will draw fierce criminal justice.

The shooting comes in the shadow of a student shooting two administrators last week at Denver’s East High School, drawing protests and demands that police and lawmakers act to reel end gun violence, especially among teens and young adults.

Acevedo also repeated his recent approval for Aurora police to chase suspects in police cars in an effort to prevent them from getting away, despite the risks to the public.

Acevedo said the chases are necessary to keep criminals from thinking they can just effortlessly leave crime scene, but he admitted that “someone will die” because of an Aurora police chase and cops will be blamed for the death “instead of the individual fleeing.”

Such police chases have been controversial for decades with police experts often being critical of the benefit against often deadly risks to the public.

He admonished motorists who had failed to yield just minutes earlier as police were rushing on I-225 to get the mall shooting.

He said several cars either stopped, pulled left or ignored police cars with lights and sirens.

“Just pull to the right” Acevedo said.

POLICE: Man illegally passing on I-225 killed Saturday after driving under semi

Part of Interstate 225 was closed more than six hours into early Sunday when a motorist died after he lost control of his car and drove it under a semi-tractor trailer, according to Aurora police.

Police responded to the crash in the southbound lanes of I-225 near East Mississippi Avenue just before 11 p.m. Saturday.

Initial investigation revealed that the unidentified driver of a Lexus sedan was southbound on I-225 “at a high rate of speed,” according to a statement by Aurora Police Agent Matthew Longshore.

“The man driving the Lexus attempted to pass another vehicle (in the right lane) on the right shoulder when it lost control,” Longshore said. “The man drove up the right grass embankment before veering back onto the roadway, then being wedged under the trailer of a semi.”

The 58-year-old Lexus driver was pronounced dead on scene, police said.

His identity will be released at a later day by county coroner officials.

The semi driver was uninjured.

Southbound lanes of the highway were closed until about 5 a.m. Sunday to accommodate an investigation.

Police said this is the 10th traffic fatality this year.

Aurora dentist accused of poisoning wife with cyanide charged Thursday with her murder

An Aurora dentist accused of poisoning his wife with cyanide and killing her was charged with first-degree murder Thursday in an Arapahoe County court.

Police say James Craig, 45, laced his wife’s pre-workout protein shakes with arsenic and cyanide, eventually killing her so he could be with a woman he was having an affair with, according to court documents.

Craig was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder Sunday, shortly after his wife died after being taken off life support during her third trip to the hospital this month. According to court records, he is being represented by the public defender’s office, which does not comment on cases.

He appeared in the courtroom of 18th Judicial District Judge Shay Kara Whitaker and was charged with first-degree murder on Thursday.

County jail records show no bail was set.

As Angela Craig languished in the hospital, with doctors unable to figure out what was wrong with her, police in the Denver suburb of Aurora allege her husband was meeting with a fellow dentist who flew in for

visits with him. Police began investigating Craig after his dental practice partner and friend, Ryan Redfearn, told a nurse that Craig had ordered potassium cyanide even though they did not need it for their work, according to an arrest warrant laying out evidence gathered by investigators.

After allegedly Googling questions like, “Is Arsenic Detectable in Autopsy?” investigators believe Craig put arsenic in one of the protein shakes he routinely made for his wife for their workouts on March 6 and then, after she survived, he ordered a rush shipment of potassium cyanide that he told the supplier was needed for a surgery. Craig had asked an office manager not to open that package but another employee did, leading to its discovery and eventual disclosure to authorities, the document said.

The delivery of a third substance he is accused of ordering, Oleandrin, was intercepted by authorities after they began investigating him, the document said. Oleandrin is a poisonous substance found in leaves of the oleander plant.

Craig told Redfearn that he ordered the potassium cyanide for his wife and told a social worker that she had been suicidal and depressed since he asked for a divorce in December even though neither of the couple’s children said anything about suicide attempts, according to the arrest affidavit.

Redfearn also told investigators that Craig was on the verge of bankruptcy and had been having problems in his marriage, according to the document. Angela Craig’s sister, Toni Kofoed, told police that Craig had drugged his wife about five years ago with an unknown drug because he said he planned to kill himself and did not want her to be able to save him.

Kofoed believes that incident is what Craig referenced in a series of texts between Angela and James Craig about her symptoms after she first fell ill on March 6. According to the arrest affidavit, James Craig wrote: “Given our history I know that must be triggering. Just for the record, I didn’t drug you. I am super worried though.”

Last week, two days before Angela was declared brain dead, the woman police say he was having an affair with wrote Craig an email expressing sympathy about what he was going through, according to the document. However, she said she did not think it was right for her to mix in with those who had gathered to mourn Angela because she did not want to “conceal what I feel for you.”

Police said anyone with information about the case can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-9137867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.

Right: Regis Jesuit junior

Charlotte Burnham’s Class 5A state championship in the 100 yard breaststroke was especially special for her considering it fulfilled a prediction made by her late friend, Sydney Meegan. Burnham earned two individual and two relay spots on Sentinel Colorado’s 2022-23

All-Aurora Girls Swim Team.

Middle: Grandview junior Amelia Brown won Centennial “A” League titles in the 50 and 100 yard freestyles and finished in the top five in both at the 5A state meet to earn two spots on the All-Aurora Girls Swim Team.

Below: Regis Jesuit senior Sophia Frei finished as the state runner-up in the 100 yard backstroke at the 5A state meet and appears four times on the All-Aurora Girls Swim Team.

Asmall, but mighty, group of Regis Jesuit swimmers rose to the occasion at the end of the 2022-23 season.

Coach Nick Frasersmith had lower numbers than usual, but the quality remained as the Raiders had enough firepower to be the closest team to powerhouse Cherry Creek at the Class 5A state meet at the Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center.

ALL-AURORA GIRLS SWIMMING

The runner-up Raiders (who secured the program’s highest finish since 2016) earned the majority of the spots on the 2023 SentinelColorado All-Aurora Girls Swim Team — which is based primarily on state meet performance — along with Grandview’s Amelia Brown, the city’s premier sprint freestyler.

son and she was just slightly off that pace at state, as a time of 54.66 seconds got her to the wall only behind Cherry Creek’s Charlotte Wilson (52.95).

Frei bettered her season-best time in the 100 butterfly with a 55.96 that netted her fifth place, while the North Carolina recruit also grabbed All-Aurora spots with the runner-up 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays.

Regis Jesuit’s third swimmer to appear on the All-Aurora team four times is freshman Taylor Johannsen, who finished an outstanding debut season as the city’s top performer at the state meet in the distance freestyle events.

The lone individual state championship for the city came in the 100 yard breaststroke from Regis Jesuit junior Charlotte Burnham, who arrived after she transferred from Mullen.

Burnham harnessed the emotion of the memory of her late friend — who predicted she would win the breaststroke — to finish a fraction of a second ahead of Grandview’s Paige Dailey for the title. Burnham came into state seeded eighth with a best time of 1 minute, 5.84 seconds, but touched the wall in 1:02.40 in the final. It marked the fourth straight breaststroke title for the Regis Jesuit program.

Burnham also earned the All-Aurora first team honor in the 200 yard individual medley in which she placed third with a time that was more than three seconds faster than her time coming in, while she also contributed to the Raiders’ 200 medley and 400 freestyle relay teams, which were both state runners-up.

Regis Jesuit senior Sophia Frei had the fastest time in the 100 backstroke during the regular sea-

Johannsen came into the meet seeded ninth in the 200 freestyle and she far exceeded that projection with a fourth-place result in a time of 1:52.42 (coming in with a seed time of 1:54.03). She finished right on her seeding in the 500 freestyle (fifth), though her time improved by more than three seconds (5:06.10 coming in to 5:02.51 in the finals. She also anchored the Raiders’ second-place 400 freestyle relay team and sixth-place 200 free relay.

Diving gave Regis Jesuit a 53-point head start on the field thanks to three top-seven placers led by junior Sarah Mann, who led the way with a third-place finish. The Continental League champion earned a total score of 439.10 points, which brought her in less than a point ahead of Grandview sophomore Addison Campbell, the Centennial League champion.

Senior Samantha Aguirre and sophomore Taylor Hoffman were part of two All-Aurora relay teams, while senior Sophia Mitsuoka and sophomore Elise Kittleson were on one apiece.

Grandview finished fifth as a team — the highest result since 2007 for coach Karen Ammon’s program — fueled by an outstanding senior class and the performance of Brown, who was Aurora’s top finisher in the 50 and 100 freestyles. The Centennial “A” League champion in both events bettered her seed time in both events and she turned in a third-place finish in the 50 freestyle (in 23.30) and fifth-place result in the 100 (in 51.54)

Valor Christian ended up as the Class 5A state ice hockey champion, but the margin between the classification’s elite teams wasn’t that wide.

Both teams that included Aurora players — Regis Jesuit and the Cherry Creek co-op — had the talent that put them right in the mix to compete with anybody they stepped on the ice with this season.

The 2022-23 SentinelColoradoAll-Aurora Ice Hockey Team — which is picked by the Sentinel in conjunction with balloting of city coaches — includes a mix of players from the semifinalist Raiders and quarterfinalist Bruins.

Regis Jesuit missed out on the Frozen Four for the first time in program history last season and underwent a coaching change between campaigns as original coach Dan Woodley (who got win No. 300 last season) retired and his longtime assistant, Terry Ott, ascended to the head coaching spot.

Ott helped the Raiders return to the semifinals with a dramatic two-overtime victory over Monarch in the quarterfinals, where they lost for a third time on the season to the eventual state champion Eagles, who defeated

rection Christian Dec. 16. The All-Metro League second team pick also scored eight goals.

He had multiple points in six games (including two with five points) and his season highlights included the game-winning goal with 16 seconds remaining in the Raiders’ 3-2 victory over 2021-22 5A state champion Denver East on Jan. 6.

Regis Jesuit cruises to Coaches Invite title

Without any divers on the roster this season, the Regis Jesuit boys swim team is going to have to make up for it in the pool according to assistant coach Chris O’Sullivan.

The Raiders did that in a huge way March 25 at the Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center, as they racked up a whopping 1,018 points to almost double up runner-up Cherry Creek among the 20 Class 5A teams in the multi-classification meet.

Regis Jesuit and many other teams competed without some top swimmers who were away at a sectional meet, but there was still plenty of talent in the water. The Raiders — who had O’Sullivan serve as interim coach with head coach Nick Frasersmith at the sectional meet — had plenty of it as they won all three relay events and three individual events as well.

line was Regis Jesuit senior Chase Patterson, an honorable mention All-Metro League selection who finished the season with one goal (scored against Cherry Creek) and assists in five different contests. Patterson was a team captain.

The Raiders had an All-Metro League second team selection between the pipes in junior Alijah Hernandez, who split time with senior Ryan Miller for most of the season, but was counted on in the postseason with Miller out with an injury.

Hernandez had his lone shutout of the season against Fort Collins early in the season and he finished with a 2.66 Goals Against Average in the regular season. His GAA was 2.91 in two playoff games against Monarch and Valor Christian, while he saved 45 of the 51 shots he saw.

Coach Jeff Mielnicki’s Cherry Creek team —

as usual a collection of players from throughout the Cherry Creek School District — had its season come to an end with a heartbreaking overtime quarterfinal loss to Ralston Valley, which went on to make the state title game.

The Bruins had a player that rose to the occasion in big moments consistently in senior forward Ayden Schmidt.

The senior from Cherokee Trail scored two goals and had two assists combined in Cherry Creek’s two postseason games, which included the game-winning goal with nine seconds remaining in a 6-5 first-round win over Resurrection Christian. Schmidt, an All-Metro League honorable mention selection, had a hat trick in a win over Battle Mountain Feb. 18 and finished with a team-high 12 goals on the season. He also registered eight assists.

Cherry Creek’s backline had a steady senior performer in senior captain Garrett Veyna, who played well defensively and stayed out of the penalty box, while he also contributed to the team’s power play unit. Veyna, who appeared on the All-Metro League honorable mention list, finished the season with four goals and seven assists. He registered at least one point in 10 games, including a goal in the quarterfinal loss to Ralston Valley.

Grandview missed several regulars from its roster, but racked up 390 points to finish fourth with its top individual results coming from the third-place finishes of the 200 medley (Ethan Finlay, Kyle Chu, William Schimberg, Christian Burgeson) and 200 freestyle relays (Finlay, Chu, Schimberg and Parker Gust).

Individually, the Wolves’ highest finish came from junior Erik Gustafsson, who was fourth in the 500 yard freestyle.

Additionally, Yi teamed with senior Antonio Goris and fellow juniors Chae Phillips and Adam Kutak on a 200 medley relay team that came in second behind Regis Jesuit. Cherokee Trail finished 11th and Overland 17th among 5A teams.

“We’ve been putting in a lot of work, so we’re not rested, so for those guys to swim that fast at this time of year was really impressive,” O’Sullivan said.

Seniors Hawkins Wendt, Truman Inglis and Harry Kerscher took firsts for Regis Jesuit, which also added three new state qualifiers to its contingent that will take to the

same pool in a couple of months as it attempts to defend last season’s state title.

Wendt had a big meet as he won the 50 yard freestyle and got touched out by Inglis in the 100 freestyle in his second individual event, while he also anchored the winning 200 and 400 freestyle teams.

Smoky Hill — also missing a significant number of contributors — got a big meet from junior Daniel Yi and finished in seventh place with 334 points. Yi came up just short in a battle with Windsor’s Jake Eccleston in the 100 breaststroke as he posted a time of 55.13 seconds to Eccleston’s 54.81, while he also finished third in a close 50 freestyle.

4 ways parents can help kids have a great summer at camp

For generations of American kids, summer camp has been a familiar rite of passage. They’d get some exercise, maybe learn a new skill, and hopefully build a few new friendships before the lazy days of summer ended. Whatever the camp’s focus might be, kids could mostly count on a predictable ritual of sunny days and nights around the campfire.

But the pandemic-disrupted summers of 2020 and 2021 turned the camping experience, like most every other part of American life, upside down. Some camps closed, while others attempted to host kids and adopted safety precautions. For many parents of kids too young to get vaccinated, camp just wasn’t an option.

So this year, many families may be attempting a “normal” they haven’t tried since 2019 – or haven’t tried at all.

And after two years of hybrid school schedules and learning online, kids may feel trepidation at an in-person camp.

Fortunately, camping experts say, there are plenty of ways parents at home can help support their summer campers.

SHARE INFO ABOUT YOUR CAMPER

This year, “kids need more,” says Tom Rosenberg, president and CEO of the American Camp Association. “They need more supervision, they need more coaching.”

Camp directors and counselors might be especially grateful for insight into the children they’re hosting. Communicate with the folks in charge: Knowing how a child responds to conflict “helps us provide a better experience for the camper,” agrees Julie Bowman, manager of camps and public experiences at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh.

Think about dropping a note to camp directors sharing strategies that work for you with your child.

COMMUNICATE WITH CARE

Parents often write letters to sleepaway campers explaining how terribly the kids are missed at home. These parents mean well, “but that 9-year-old kid really believes that their parent needs them. They’re worried about their parents,” says Bob Bechtold, director of programs at Pittsburgh’s Sarah Heinz House, which operates a day camp and overnight camp. And they might feel more homesick.

Rather than focusing your letter on how much you miss the child, Bechtold says, “it should be more prompts to get the kids to talk about their experiences and telling them how proud you are.”

Mention that you’re looking forward to hearing their stories about camp and you’re so glad they’re having new experiences.

“That puts them in a good place where they can be successful –where they’re not worried about home, where they’re not thinking about what’s going on there,” Bechtold says. “That’s what camp’s about – making those memories, living in the moment.”

Also, let your child know in your letters that this can be a summer for trying new things and having fun rather than worrying about excelling, Rosenberg says.

“Making mistakes is an important part of learning, development and growth mindset,” he says, and “that’s what’s great about camp. It’s a place where kids can really learn to improve their disposition, to learn and become more curious, to be more discovery-oriented. And not be afraid to just go for it and try something new.”

SENDING SUPPLIES

Camps often have emergency items like towels that a camper can borrow. But kids can feel surprisingly uncomfortable telling a counselor they’ve forgotten something, Bechtold says. Some will do without key items rather than ask for help.

So if your child hasn’t left for camp yet, confirm what’s needed even if you believe you know, and use a written checklist when packing. And if camp has already begun, let your child know that if anything got left behind, they can tell their counselors and ask for help remedying the situation.

DEALING WITH DEVICES

Help your child understand and follow the camp’s policy on phones and digital devices. Sometimes the rules can be jarring to kids who have spent lots of time on digital devices throughout the past couple of years.

At Bowman’s day camp, “we encourage them not to bring a cellphone,” she says. “And if they do bring a cellphone, we ask that they keep it tucked away.”

Rosenberg says this can be especially stressful for some boys who are more used to communicating via text or on gaming platforms where they’re not expected to show emotion or connect empathetically with others.

If your child hasn’t begun camp yet, confirm the policy on phones and other devices, and prepare your camper for it. If camp is underway and your child is frustrated that device use is limited, try to encourage them to embrace a screen-free (or at least screen-minimal) summer.

The beauty of camp, Rosenberg says, is that kids develop their budding identities by forming face-to-face connections with others. Ideally, he says, millions of kids will set digital screens aside this summer and “start building stronger social-emotional connections -the human connections we all need.”

For the perfect care package, remember: Less is more

BY KATIE WORKMAN, The Associated Press

For parents of campers heading to sleepaway camp, spring can mean a whole lot of shopping, finding duffel bags, labeling clothes, packing... And then they’re off! And THEN it’s time to think about popping a little something in the mail so your camper can have the thrill of receiving a care package.

But what to send? How much and how often?

Moderation is the word to keep in mind, warns Amy Broadbridge, director of Camp Deerhorn in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Her camp has tried to deemphasize care packages in recent years.

So hold back on the frequency, and think about the following guidelines:

IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, NO FOOD

This is a pretty universal rule among camps, for some very good reasons. Broadbridge explains, “We have life-threatening allergies, and woodland creatures who love to come into cabins to hunt for food.”

GROUP GIFTS

Broadbridge recommends sending items that kids can play with friends and cabinmates, such as Frisbees and other outdoor games, Mad Libs, joke books and playing cards.

ACTIVITIES FOR DOWNTIME

For quieter moments, when your camper might need to recharge and have some alone time, Broadbridge suggests puzzles like Rubik’s cubes, books, comics, and markers, pens and paper. Baumfeld adds: a camp journal, small plush animals, collapsible water bottle, yo-yo, a slinky, a small fan.

PRACTICAL GIFTS

If your kid is working on something particular at camp, think about sending something to support their hobby: new guitar strings, a magic trick, or a can of fresh tennis balls, for instance.

CARE PACKAGE WEBSITES

Many companies provide ready-made care packages. They include: Sealed with a Kiss , The Wrinkled Egg , Mirth in a Box,Everything Summer Camp and Oriental Trading Company.

But remember, less is more. Camp is a wonderful and often formative experience, and it shouldn’t be cluttered with too much outside stuff.

HOUSE BROKE

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Colorado Staff Writer

State legislators from the Aurora area brought forward a pair of bills that could make it easier to build affordable housing and remove other barriers to shared living arrangements last week via a controversial overhaul of the state’s land use code.

Endorsed by Gov. Jared Polis and state Democrats, the changes would compel cities to allow the construction of multifamily housing, including more “missing middle” products like townhomes and duplexes.

“We need more homes for rent and for purchase near where jobs are, not further and further out with more cars on the road, more traffic and more air quality problems.,” Polis told the Sentinel last week. “In California, there are cities with average home prices above a million dollars, and there are 16-lane freeways that are bumper-to-bumper for eight hours a day. We want to avoid that fate.”

While many progressives have applauded the bill as a potential path toward more affordable housing, others have characterized it as misguided and an affront to Colorado’s history of leaving zoning decisions in the hands of local governments.

“I strongly believe that we need greater density in housing to make it more affordable, so I agree with the direction that the Governor wants to go, but I think it should be through (providing) incentives to local governments instead of a mandate that usurps local control,” Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman said in a statement.

The Senate bill would require larger cities, including Aurora, and “rural resort job

centers” such as Aspen and Breckenridge to accommodate middle housing products, and would eliminate occupancy caps that distinguish between related and unrelated co-tenants. A sister bill in the House would do away with caps on housing development, including the growth caps introduced by Boulder, Lakewood and Golden.

State Rep. Iman Jodeh, a Democratic Aurora legislator and House prime sponsor of the Senate bill, said the measure would protect workforce housing in Aurora as well as various housing options for people in different stages of life.

She told the story of an elderly woman in her district suffering from arthritis who wanted to sell her multi-story home but couldn’t find a single-story housing unit close to her mosque.

“This speaks to being in the communities that we want to live in. But the stock is so low for main-floor living, and what is there is completely unaffordable,” Jodeh said. “I think this bill is what’s going to maintain the integrity and vibrancy of Aurora.”

Both bills have been introduced in their respective chambers and are awaiting further action.

Like many Colorado communities, Aurora is grappling with a shortage of affordable housing. Housing prices across the Denver metropolitan area have crept upward since the early 2010s, threatening to undermine Aurora’s status as a diverse, working-class community.

In late 2020, a report on Aurora’s housing market commissioned by the city indicated

New homes are being built in the community at East Wesley Place and South Troy Street. Aurora City Council passed a unified development ordinance, that streamlines the city’s zoning process.

Legislators stepping in to increase high-density housing stocks, attempting to lower costs

residents needed an income of more than $50,000 per year to afford the average rent, which was about $10,000 more than the average renter actually made.

The same report said the city would need more than 10,200 units of affordable housing to meet the needs of households earning less than $20,000 per year, in light of the pandemic. But the problem predated the pandemic — in 2017, the city was found to be short about 7,500 units for renters earning less than $25,000 per year.

Several hundred people are also believed to be homeless in the city, with the 2022 point-in-time survey undertaken on behalf of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development pegging the number at 612. The point-in-time survey is generally believed to be an undercount.

Though Aurora is more densely developed than many Colorado cities, the 2020 report identified an unmet need for “missing middle” housing in the city. Missing middle housing includes development such as townhomes, row houses and courtyard apartments, which are denser than single-family homes but are perceived as belonging in low-density neighborhoods.

Small-lot homes, defined as lots covering fewer than 5,000 square feet, are another middle housing product. Compared to the entire Denver metro area, Aurora had fewer small-lot homes for sale between 2016 and 2017, with those units

making up just 8% of all homes for sale compared to 11% of homes for sale in the region overall and 26% of homes for sale in Denver.

Promoting the development of middle housing is one of the goals of Senate Bill 23-213. The state would be directed to draft a model code that would clear the way for middle housing to be built wherever single-family homes are allowed in large cities such as Aurora and in rural resort job centers.

Even if one of those communities decides not to adopt the model code, they would still be expected to stay out of the way of builders. The community would have to allow middle housing as a use by right in certain areas and not enforce local laws that restrict middle housing more aggressively than single-family detached homes. The changes would not apply to counties.

Related to the topic of middle housing are so-called Accessory Dwelling Units — smaller, independent dwellings located on the same property as a single-family home. The measure would also require the state to draft a model ADU code allowing the units wherever single-family homes are allowed, and municipalities would have to either adopt the code or equivalent zoning rules.

Other parts of the bill would promote multifamily housing along key transit corridors in large cities such as Aurora and rural resort job centers, and cities

like Aurora would be required to allow multifamily housing within a half-mile of train stations.

The bill also prohibits the enforcement of occupancy limits that differ based on the relationship between co-tenants, which means Aurora may be blocked from enforcing its rule that no more than four unrelated people may share a housing unit.

A slim majority of council members rejected a proposal to temporarily raise the limit to six in 2020, when Gov. Jared Polis asked cities to loosen their rules in an attempt to reduce the number of evictions and ease the economic burdens of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cities would also be expected to put together a housing-needs plan that would include strategies for preserving and promoting affordable housing. As a larger city with a rail station, Aurora would be expected to commit to at least three strategies approved by the state to address the creation and preservation of affordable housing. $15 million in state funds would be set aside during the upcoming fiscal year to help with planning statewide.

A related piece of legislation, House Bill 23-1255, would strike down artificial limits imposed by cities such as Boulder, Lakewood and Golden on how much residential construction can take place. In Boulder, the expansion of the city’s housing stock is limited to 1% per year.

Aurora Councilmember Juan Marcano said he believed sprawling development was one of the dangers facing Aurora and said he supported the bill as a way of welcoming the construction of denser, missing middle housing.

“It’s just a much wiser land use strategy overall,” he said. “And it’s not just us, but a general, major flaw in contemporary North American urban planning is the sprawl and the car-dependent pattern of suburban development.”

He said that Aurora was in a better position than many cities because it has a housing strategy and because city staffers are already working on cleaning up parts of the Unified Development Ordinance in a way that is “in harmony” with the Senate bill.

Marcano argued that less dense development uses up more water, contributes to the city’s infrastructure backlog and drives air pollution by requiring residents drive from place to place. Jodeh, too, said she believed the bill would have an impact beyond more people being housed.

“This is more than just a Band-Aid on something that hasn’t been addressed since the ’70s,” Jodeh said. “It’s not just a housing bill. It’s about conservation. It’s about making sure people are healthy. It’s about making sure we have access to affordable, quality, equitable housing.”

Others were less enthusiastic about the state’s pivot away from giving local governments the final say in zoning choices. Aurora’s mayor questioned in a statement why the governor and the legislature weren’t waiting so they could fully gauge the effects of Proposition 123, which will steer statewide tax money toward affordable housing.

“I think that there is a value to having residents being able to give input to their locally elected officials on planning and zoning matters,” Coffman said. “Again, I agree we have a problem with housing affordability, and I put forward a proposal for Aurora to opt into (Proposition) 123, and we are the first city to do so.”

CEO Ted Leighty of the Colorado Association of Home Builders said his orga-

nization thought the roadmap included in the bill for making more multifamily projects use-by-right included good ideas.

He said the organization also plans to advocate for amendments that would lighten the burden of report-drafting for local governments and prevent cities from blocking developments that don’t adhere to granular design guidelines.

But Leighty argued that the viability of multifamily housing and the success of the bill will be limited as long as Colorado maintains its construction defect laws, which developers say make it too risky to build condominiums in the state.

“It’ll never achieve its full potential without also further reforming construction litigation and liability issues, where everyone from design to finishing and in between can be potentially sued,” he said.

In terms of how the zoning landscape limits development currently, he described how fitting a multifamily project into a neighborhood of single-family homes can pose major challenges for developers, who have to manage opposition from so-called NIMBYs and wade through development processes that may take years.

“It’s a huge problem to try to get a zoning change, for sure. We’ve got places like Westminster, where it took one developer five years to entitle a piece of dirt, because others thought they had their own right to this existing empty space, where they like to watch the sunset,” Leighty said.

“That’s what this bill is trying to get at, in some regards, is how do we remove these obstacles for local governments … to be able to approve good uses of land for good housing opportunities for all Coloradans to be able to share in.”

Though his organization has yet to take a formal position on the changes to growth caps, he said he was tentatively encouraged by the news.

Kevin Bommer — executive director of the Colorado Municipal League, an advocacy group representing 270 municipalities across the state — referred to the land use changes as a “breathtaking power grab” in a news release.

The release said inflation and workforce shortages were major contributors to the housing problem, and Bonner further dismissed the proposed system of the state promulgating model codes and cities having to adopt the codes or at least follow some of the minimum requirements identified in those codes as a “California-style, top-down approach.”

“Unlike California or Oregon, Colorado has (a) rich tradition of local control and constitutional home rule, the latter of which cannot be legislated away,” Bommer said.

“If either of those foundational principles still mean anything to legislators, we expect they will reject this legislation and throw their support behind partnering with the bill’s proponents and local governments to tackle affordability issues together.”

When asked about the bill eroding local control over zoning decisions, Jodeh said Colorado’s current development patterns were causing problems of their own, and arguing that it was “time for a change.”

“We have seen unbelievable unsustainable sprawl in Colorado that has affected not only the cost of housing but also the lack of access to transportation, the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink,” she said.

“The status quo is not working.”

Rent prices are consistently high as home buying becomes increasingly difficult. The influx of renters has caused the market to cater more toward landlords than renters.

While housing may be scant in the Aurora area, there are plenty of new and current rental options available in the metro area.

Seed indeed

PLANTING A GARDEN FROM SEED IS EASY AND CAN START NOW

BY JEFF LOWENFELS, Associated Press

The catalogs have been thumbed through, and the seed racks are sprouting like weeds at local nurseries and garden centers.

There is now enough daylight across the country to start garden seeds without the aid of artificial lights. Some seeds can be planted directly outdoors. Others will have to be started inside.

Either way, where I come from you are not a real gardener unless you start at least one thing you grow from seed. Sure, you can always buy already started plants, but seeds give you bragging rights.

The fact of the matter is that starting seeds is easy. Everything the plant needs to germinate is in the seed. All you have to do is put it into damp soil and not let it dry out while it does its thing. If there are any special requirements, they will be noted in the simple instructions on the back of every seed packet.

The one thing you might not find in those instructions is the suggestion to roll larger seeds in mycorrhizal fungi, or to sprinkle some on smaller seeds. You should be able to find these special fungi where you buy seed.

Mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plants, and deliver water and nutrients to them. Good nurseries now carry two types, endo and ecto. Annuals and row crops associate with endo-mycorrhizal fungi, with the exception of members of the cole family (cabbages, kolhrabi, kale, etc.). In addition to rolling all other seeds, spread some of the mix throughout the soil so new roots will grow into it.

Do not soak your seeds in hydrogen peroxide, as is often suggested. There are bacteria living in all seeds which are supposed to be there. They have evolved to help in germination and the initial startup of the seed. They also prime the soil with the microbes that have evolved a partnership with that variety of seeds.

Planting big seeds is easy (and beg for the assistance of a youngster.) As for those little-to-tiny seeds, use a

pencil. Just dip the tip in water and then pick up the seed with it. It will hold a single seed as you put it into its starting container.

Speaking of containers, it’s time for all gardeners to cut back and even eliminate plastic. Unless you are recycling old plastic starting flats and pots, make your own out of newspaper or cardboard. You can buy a gadget on the internet to help, or look up directions.

Or reuse coffee cups and recycle other suitable containers such as egg cartons, yogurt containers and ice cream boxes (Oh! An excuse to buy some!). Poke a drainage hole in the bottom, as seeds rot when sitting in water.

Finally, it would be a shame to grow something and then forget what it is called. Label everything. Again, avoid buying plastic labels. You can write directly on some containers, or use takeout chopsticks and the handles of recycled plastic utensils. A permanent marker won’t rub or wash off.

Oh, and consider growing some seeds of your own for next year’s garden.

This image provided by Jeff Lowenfels shows flats of sweet peas grown from seed in recycled egg cartons on March 23, 2023, in Anchorage, Alaska. The longer days of spring make this a good time to start plants from seed, either indoors or outdoors.

They ask that you keep your fur baby leashed and in your vehicle until it is their turn.

Colfax Art JamsSecond Saturdays in Fletcher Plaza

April 12, all-day at participating breweries. Visit https://coloradobeer.org/colorado-pint-day/ for more information.

To say that Colorado has a lot of craft breweries would be putting it lightly. In 2022 it was reported that there were 423 open breweries in the state, with just 40 of them being second locations.

In light of that, Colorado Pint Day is something that does and should exist. More than 200 breweries are participating across the state, 10 of which are in Aurora.

Hop heads flock annually to participating breweries to purchase the limited edition glassware, with $1 of each purchase going to the organizers, Colorado Brewers Guild.

This years pint glass is objectively cool and is well worth the price. Plus, a beer comes in it, when you purchase the glass. We’re having a hard time finding a downside here.

You can find a complete list of all the breweries at https://coloradobeer.org/colorado-pint-day/.

Spring is just around the bend! Those late snowy months always seem to slow time. But the springtime couldn’t stay away forever. And in celebration of the season change, Jade Mountain Brewery & Teahouse is back again this weekend with their annual Cherry Blossom Festival. The stated goal is to outdo their previous year’s party and according to their FB posting, they seem to have accomplished this.

There are at least a dozen vendors slated, boasting a smorgasbord of food, drink and other goods. There will also be some beer releases, some of which look pretty incredible to this low-level hop head. The Chestnut Vanilla Stout has certainly piqued interest, as does the Cherry Mochi Rice Ale. That sounds very drinkable indeed.

Aurora Cultural Arts District is back with another great Second Saturday event. Stringed instruments cover the entire gamut of musical genres and you’d be hard pressed to find a style of music that doesn’t involve at least one.

They’ve played a vital role in the music of many cultures and have had serious influence on classical and folk music.

After taking in some tunes, you’ll no doubt be inspired to create your own instruments. Well, as luck would have it, Downtown Aurora Visual Arts will be hosting an activity in which you can make your own DIY stringed instrument. Doubtful that a piano will be an option, but I’m sure a crude lyre or maybe violin can be put together by even a genuine novice in instrument building. And who knows, you may be the next Stradivarius and not even know it.

If the weather turns, as it sometimes does in early April, the festivities will be moved inside the MLK Library, as it sits adjacent to Fletcher Plaza.

April 6 at 11:00 a.m. 1695 Platte St. Denver, CO 80202. Visit https:// bit.ly/40kpiLH for more information.

Baseball is back! So is the expectation of a consistently sub-par performance from our ragtag Rockies and their beleaguered ownership.

That said, we can still get together and commiserate over some pretty good craft beer, right? Denver Beer Co. is kind enough to invite all of us that are a glutton for punishment as we ring in the new season of America’s favorite pastime. Y’all know that misery loves company, so let’s all get together and toast to hoping for the best but expecting borderline mediocrity as we begin another 162 game season.

Presented by Aurora Rise, All C’s is back with their bi-annual Fan Expo, and it will be the biggest for them to date — with it being at the fairgrounds for the first time in the shows almost seven years of existence.

They will be taking over 25,000 sq. ft. of space, to be packed to the brim with vendors and artists covering the gamut of geekdom. And this hack gives that descriptor lightly, also being a collector of certain things nerdy.

There will be voice actors and comic book artists will also be in attendance should you fancy an autograph. Admission is free and the event is being dubbed as family friendly.

Sentinel BEFORE THE COLORADO GROUND WATER COMMISSION DETERMINATIONS OF WATER RIGHT

KIOWA-BIJOU DESIGNATED GROUNDWATER BASIN AND NORTH KIOWA BIJOU GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT- ARAPAHOE COUNTY

TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to section 3790-107(7), C.R.S., and the Designated Basin Rules, 2 CCR 410-1, Amber Lynn Craig has applied for determinations of rights to allocations of designated groundwater from the Arapahoe aquifer underlying 41.18 acres generally described as a portion of the S1/2 and a portion of the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of Section 33, Township 4 South, Range 62 West, of the 6th P.M. The

applicant claims ownership of this land and control of the groundwater in this aquifer underlying this property. The groundwater from this allocation is proposed to be used on the described property and a 35.96 acre property generally described as a portion of the S1/2 of the NE1/4 of Section 33, Township 4 South, Range 62 West, of the 6th P.M. owned by the Applicant, which is the subject of the Determination of Water Right no. 3538-BD. The ground water will be used for the following beneficial uses: domestic, livestock, agricultural, irrigation, recreational water features, wildlife and replacement.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7), the Colorado Ground Water Commission shall allocate groundwater from the above aquifers based on ownership of the overlying land. A preliminary evaluation of the application finds the volume of water available for allocation from the aquifer underlying the above-described property to be 1,018 for the Arapahoe aquifer. The amount in the Arapahoe aquifer represents a reduction in the volume of water available for allocation due to the existence of a small capacity wells, permit nos. 329291 and 329008, withdrawing water from beneath the described property. This amount is subject to final evaluation, and subsequent to issuance of the determinations, adjustment to conform to the actual local aquifer characteristics.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7) (a), well permits issued pursuant to subsection 107(7) shall allow withdrawals on the basis of an aquifer life of one hundred years.

In accordance with Rule 5.3.6 of the Designated Basin Rules preliminary evaluation of the application finds the replacement water requirement status for the aquifers underlying the above-described property to be not-nontributary (4% replacement) for the Arapahoe aquifer.

Upon Commission approval of determinations of rights to the allocations, well permits for wells to withdraw the allocations shall be available upon application, subject to the conditions of each determination, the Designated Basin Rules, and approval by the Commission. Such wells must be completed in the aquifer for which the right was allocated and must be located on the 41.18 acres of above described property.

Any person wishing to object to the approval of these determinations of rights to allocations must do so in writing, briefly stating the nature of the objection, the name of the applicant, a general description of the property, and the specific aquifers that are the subject of the objection. The objection, including a required $10 fee per application being objected to, must be received by the Colorado Ground Water Commission by close of business April 29, 2023. Objections should be sent via email to DWRpermitsonline@state.co.us, upon which the objector will be emailed an invoice for paying the fee online. If the objector is unable to provide the objection via email please contact 303-866-3581.

Obituary

Georgiana Robson McKnight

November 2, 1920 - February 15, 2023

Georgiana led a beautiful, inspiring life full of hope and the ability to see the bright side of all things. She made people she met feel special and as if that person was her favorite person in the world. Her hospitality was effortless in her ability to make people feel loved and welcomed.

She was born in Long Beach, California and grew up in Pipestone, Minnesota. She attended the Minneapolis School of Art after high school graduation. She met her future husband, Theodore McKnight, a Mississippi boy, in Minneapolis. They married on October 20, 1943 in her mother’s house in Pipestone. They were married 55 years until his death in 1999. They raised three children, had seven grandchildren who have blessed them with, for now, seven great grandchildren, two more on the way.

Theodore was a career Air Force pilot and officer. They traveled the world during his career and after he retired continued to see sights all over the globe. Georgiana loved to travel, till her final years if asked if she wanted to travel, she would say, “Yes!”

She was a lifelong member of Christian churches, whether Base Chapels, local Baptist, or Presbyterian churches, in which she was raised.

She volunteered in many organizations including PEO, an international women’s organization, and a member from 1943 until her death.

She was an accomplished artist in watercolors, jewelry, needle crafts, knitting and crochet. Her cross-stitches are in the homes of her loved ones.

Inurnment will be August 4, 2023, 1:00 P.M. Fort Logan National Cemetery; reception to follow, 2-4 P.M.
