Trent Bailey takes a clipping for propagation, March 18 at the city’s greenhouse. Bailey is the Maintenance and Operations Supervisor for the Parks, Recreation and Open Space department for the city of Aurora. Bailey is focused on a push to add more native grasses to current city parks and reduce turf space in new park development by putting in native plants instead of the more tropic species that require more water and are counterproductive to the regions climate. These additions would help create a niche ecosystem that hasn’t been prevalent in past parks. “We need to understand that we are not in a vacuum and we can’t do whatever we want,” Bailey said about lush expanses of turf.

Comments to us from readers
Councilmember. Danielle Jurinsky, who seems another practitioner of the thuggery that has come to characterize what passes for the political Right these days, is incensed at the thought of a gay, female police chief and is hellbent on removing her for those reasons alone. No one who is still in touch with reality could credibly believe there are no problems with the APD. (To be fair, we have allowed local police departments to behave less like police and more like occupying forces all over this country.) A lot of cops obviously have no sense of simple human dignity, preferring to swagger imperially amongst the people they are charged with protecting. In a normal, moral world, the APD would be cowed by the outrage of what was done to Elijah McClain. They would be grateful they weren’t fired wholesale after that bit of homicide. But I see no sign of that out on the street.
That’s how many hours homeless people cited for the city’s new camping ban will be given to clear their tents and belongings and move on either to a city shelter or someplace else.
After months, the city council this week narrowly approved a camping ban. The ban could go into effect in about 30 days. The story is on Page 9
No matter how badly some local and state lawmakers wish it were true, we can’t just legislate, arrest and jail our way out of the state’s deadly fentanyl and opioid crisis.
Everyone wishes it was as easy as the partisan tantrums in Aurora and all over Colorado were making it sound.
It’s not, and falling for the partisan election-year ruse is dangerous.
Everyone agrees that the latest evolution of the nation’s opioid addiction debacle is terrifying. Not only have we created a shadow nation of people addicted to opioids like heroin and prescription painkillers, black-market criminals have worsened the crisis by, literally, adding bootleg fentanyl into the mix.
Fentanyl from a pharmaceutical company is a synthetic opioid created to be a painkiller that packs a huge punch of mind-numbing action. It’s stunningly strong, estimated to be about 50 times more powerful than heroin.
And because of that strength, it becomes that much more attractive to — and dangerous in the hands of — illicit manufacturers and recreational drug users. As the demand for the drug increased among street-drug users, criminal chemists have changed the game by substituting or adding bootleg fentanyl to sham pills that look like favorite black-market opioids, such as “vikes” “percs” or “ox’s.”
DAVE PERRY Editor
The problem is, they now can contain deadly amounts of bootleg fentanyl, sometimes in some tablets but not others because of shoddy, clandestine production.
And so what many people believe are just the same old Vicodin and Oxycodone pills they’ve bought illegally before from other users, chatroom sellers and more, are actually poison.
It’s not as if Colorado, and the nation, hasn’t lost generations of lives to drug addiction before now.
The nation loses about 100,000 people each year to drug addiction and overdose, a number that rises every year. Almost 300 Americans die every day from drug addiction and overdose. The vast majority of those deaths are opioid related. Last year, about 700 people in Colorado died from fentanyl overdose, according to U.S. health officials.
And along with the yearly increases in drug deaths, Congress, state legislatures, district attorneys, jail and prison officials have ratcheted up the penalties and prosecutions for those who make, distribute and use the drugs that kill so many people.
The result of decades of “just say no” and get tough on drug user laws? More addiction. More distribution. More arrests. More incarcerations. More use. More deaths.
It doesn’t matter how badly some people want to believe that we can scare or jail people into avoiding a death date with street drugs, they do it anyway.
Think about it. If someone is willing to take a chance on having their party drug knock them dead in seconds, do you really think the vague chance of an arrest is going to impact their decision to roll the dice with a couple of vikes?
No. Tough arrest threats have never worked, and they won’t work now.
The worst states for drug use, addiction and deaths include Florida, West Virginia and Ohio — all conservative, Republican strongholds fast to impose the full extent of the law against those caught with illicit drugs. Also high on the list? Blue states, like Delaware and Connecticut.
The clear takeaway? Prosecuting drug users does not keep people from doing drugs.
In fact, what it provably does is turn illicit and troubled drug users and addicts into felons, who then must battle not only addiction for the rest of their lives, but also suffer criminal records that can destroy their futures. Criminal records often lead to or contribute to — wait for it — drug addiction and substance abuse.
It’s pretty common for people who understand the clear
and undeniable danger of doing any street drug, especially now when it’s nearly impossible to know which pill or snort will have a salt-grain sized flake of fentanyl, enough to kill a healthy person.
We’re all asking, why would anyone do such an illogical thing?
It’s really, really complicated. It’s even more complicated than trying to figure out why anyone with even a modicum of education and consciousness would believe that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, that taking a COVID-19 vaccine would make metal objects stick to your forehead or that Robert Kennedy Jr. is undead and trolling Texans.
But there are thousands of people who wrongfully think they can dodge the deadly fentanyl bullet, or that Tina Peters is telling the truth and would make a fine Colorado secretary of state.
So rather than round up drug users, imprison them at the taxpayer cost of bazillions each year to completely ruin the lives of dabblers and addicts, Colorado made a bipartisan effort a couple of years ago to bring drug users, not peddlers, into the misdemeanor court system and push them into treatment instead of prison.
With the pandemic and so many other crises across the country, it’s too soon to tell how much a difference this will make.
But because the fentanyl debacle stands out even among the catastrophic opioid crisis, something more has to be done.
So a handful of Republicans and most Democrats at the State Capitol agreed that, since fentanyl is so deadly, professional peddlers must face increased penalties.
Absolutely, use every resource to seek out the makers and distributors of these illicit and deadly street drugs, some of the world’s most ruthless criminals.
But what they’ve also agreed on is that people who often don’t even know that the oxy’s they got from a co-worker or a cousin contain a possibly deadly amount of fentanyl. Treating these people like the thug that carries around baggies of pills and hands them out of his or her car window with all the blithe demeanor of a food delivery service makes no sense, no matter how hard people wish it did.
Hopefully, the campaign at the state Capitol that includes a huge effort to tell people how dangerous and capricious the street-drug they use is, and ways for users to test the drugs they insist on using, will save lives.
But I can guarantee you that herds of people will believe whatever Fox News, Tucker Carlson and Vladimir Putin say about bioweapons labs in Ukraine, and herds of people will keep buying blues, shards and other street drugs, thinking it’ll all be OK.
Republicans like gubernatorial candidate Heidi Ganahl and current Arapahoe County DA John Kellner, who’s running for state attorney general, have fired endless partisan missiles at Polis and Democrats in this latest war on deadly drugs. They’re demanding a return to sentencing guidelines that sound so good but have provably over many decades done nothing to reduce drug use or save lives.
“This bill fails to fully address the crisis we’re in. The smallest amount of this drug is powerful enough to kill and this bill does not do enough to confront that reality,” Kellner said.
I agree with him there, and so do state lawmakers like Denver state Rep. Leslie Herod.
No bill can do enough. We cannot arrest our way out of the fentanyl and opioid crisis. We can’t jail our way out of it. We can’t wish it away. We can’t just legislate it away.
As painful as it is, we have to be realistic about the scope of the problem, the persistence of the problem and our failure to solve the problem. And we have to try something different. That’s the reality we face.
QUID HAS HEARD that Mayor “Homeless” Mike Coffman had another setback on his way to getting his masters degree in unhousingness.
Seems that hizzoner for the second time in about a year thought he’d stumbled upon a political pot o’ gold by exploiting the problem of folks camping along Aurora streets instead of paying rent somewhere.
Quidnunc, whose name comes from the Latin “what now,” is out and about as often as possible to bring you news overheard in elevators, rest rooms and spied in various e-mail boxes.
It was a little over a year ago the state-House-repturned-state-senator-turnedstate-treasurer-turned-secretaryof-state-turned-congressmanturned-mayor made headlines after a literally made-for-TV week on the street posing as a homeless bruh among real homeless bruhs along the Colfax corridor. The exploit drew howls of rage from fellow politicos and homeless do-gooders, especially after Homeless Mike told his exclusive TV cohort that in just seven days, he’d figured out this homeless thing. Seems homeless people are druggies who like it that way and, so, there you go, according to Professor Homeless. Months after the zing Coffman suffered from the sting, a new opportunity arose: Omen Cross aka Nathanial Crawford. Crawford, a real-deal homeless vet who makes no bones about how he believes that cities chasing homeless people around are doing no one any favors, appeared at a recent city council confab as the nabobs on the dais were fighting over Aurora’s proposed ban on homeless camping. The proposed ban was the child of Homeless Mike’s brainstorm after his week away at homeless camp. Days after Crawford’s televised premiere in the city council star chamber during a public hearing on the ban on camping sans home — where Crawford said he would run against hizzoner for mayor — Homeless Mike unleashed his “aha” moment on the googles. He accused impertinent city homeless workers of putting Crawford up to testify in a manner that made Mike’s plan look useless and cruel by someone who would know. Mayor Homeless twittelated that he had uncovered the ruse, even though reporting in this rag made it clear there really wasn’t one. In a moment of saccharine revenge, Mayor Homeless enlisted Crawford as an ally to be the “tip of the spear,” or public face, of a flailing program hizzoner favored, which he accused city hallers of ignoring. All went well for several minutes, until it became clear Crawford remained an ally to homeless people and vets, not political gains at city hall. Mayor Homeless’s exploit took an even worse turn this week when he and other city lawmakers worked to prevent Crawford from attending any more council meetings after he said city hall would pay a “street price” for continued support of a ban on homeless campers, calling hizzoner a “coward.” Monday’s meeting was nearly sent to the Zoom Room because of Crawford’s talk about “street price.” It could be that it’s the price paid for political exploits harvested from people who see things differently from inside the van or tent they live in.
AND QUID HAS HEARD that Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, yes, that Tina Peters, is scheduling a secret fun-raiser somewhere in Douglas County with super fun razor sharp rich guy Mike Lindell of MyPillow, who will appear on Peters’ behalf or whole. Your faithful affiant hears that if you want to rub elbows with the best and brightest behind this campaign, it’ll set you back four figures. Directions, Quid assumes, will be photographed from under the dashboard of Peters’ car and posted to TruthSocial.
It’s difficult to fathom a better way for Aurora to further maim its reeling police department than to needlessly sack its chief amid a scandal fed by rumors and secrecy.
The city appears to be headed for such a quagmire after an attorney for Police Chief Vanessa Wilson confirmed rumors that City Manager Jim Twombly has pressed her to resign.
“There has been a campaign against Chief Wilson and the deputy chief orchestrated by certain members of city council,” lawyer Paula Greisen told The Sentinel last week. “They have made it clear their priority is to push her out. They have called her ‘trash’ and said her termination is in the works, and there’s been an ongoing effort to demoralize and demean her.”
That is indisputable.
Leading the baseless and erroneous attack on Wilson has been newly elected Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky. On a right-wing-extremist talk radio show, during council meetings and on social media, Jurinsky has spearheaded an ad hominem and baseless attack on the chief. The assault has been inspired by disgruntled rank-and-file cop leaders incensed by fearless efforts by Wilson to lead the beleaguered Aurora Police Department out of the shameful disaster the force has inflicted upon itself. Demanding quid-quo-pro for propping up her election campaign, she’s delivering the goods to aggrieved union leaders.
Aurora residents are not fooled by attempts by Jurinsky nor anyone else to gaslight them about what has happened in the department over the past several years.
Some Aurora police officers were at best criminally negligent in confronting Elijah McClain and causing his death. While a grand jury has indicted officers involved in the homicide of a completely innocent Black man, a court has yet to convict those involved in the crime or acquit them. Regardless, the entire world saw the video with their own eyes and read thorough investigations that made it indisputable that McClain was abused by some officers and died because of it.
An Aurora police officer remains on the force who also was caught on video tape making sick racist remarks during an investigation, referring to Black witnesses to a crime as “porch monkeys.”
Three sadistic Aurora police officers were caught making a “selfie” as they parodied the very choke hold procedure inflicted on McClain associated with his death while being abused by Aurora police officers. It was a scandalous scheme that drew international scorn and ridicule.
Aurora police drew global contempt again when an Aurora officer passed out drunk behind the wheel of his squad car, on duty, an outlandish stunt that was forgiven by the previous police chief and placed back on duty.
The APD clinched its reputation as a racist nightmare when cops pulled over a car with Black women and girls, wrongly targeted as a stolen vehicle, and forced hysterical young Black girls face down on hot asphalt during their erroneous arrest. Just months ago, another Aurora officer, filmed on video, sadistically abused a Black man during his arrest for loitering, wrongly choking him during what was clearly an assault on a citizen.
While some misguided Aurora police and city council members like Jurinsky have tried to defend or excuse what are clearly indefensible and inexcusable crimes, Chief Wilson has courageously made clear how repugnant these felonies were, and how wrong it is not to call them out.
Wilson has been steadfast in assuring the public that as horrifying and unnerving as these and other Aurora police stunts have been, they are but a relative few cops that have tarnished the reputation of more than 600 officers who are honest, trustworthy and competent officers. Wilson has made it clear that those officers who abuse citizens should be fired, and she has honorably held that promise.
You may have heard rumblings from the state Capitol building on the current debate about whether Colorado should end the sale of flavored nicotine and tobacco products. Maybe you’ve even taken a side.
Before you harden your views, let us speak frankly about why we are carrying a bill to do just that. The reality is, it’s the right thing to do and it’s urgent that we act now.
In 2021, Colorado banned the sale of these products to anyone under the age of 21, a measured step that we both supported. Our hope was that this would curb the alarming increase in youth nicotine use we had been seeing for years. But now we know this step was really just a half measure. One that continues to feed adult addiction at the expense of our kids.
Instead of reversing the trend, youth vaping is on the rise. A recent survey of Colorado youth found that one in four teens used e-cigarettes. National data tells us that eight out of 10 teens who use nicotine products start with flavored ones. That makes sense. They feature candy flavors such as bubble gum and blue raspberry that mask the harmful chemicals and addictive nature of the product. Sweet smells and small, unobtrusive delivery devices make them very difficult for parents and guardians to detect.
We know that our proposal concerns the vape shops currently open in Colorado along with the convenience stores and groceries that sell these addictive products. They want to continue to do business as usual, providing their wares to anyone old enough to buy them. To them we would say, you can continue to sell to adults the nicotine products to which they are addicted. But what you should not do, what you cannot do, is continue to sell products with cotton candy and pineapple mango flavors that are clearly aimed at enticing children to start a habit many will never be able to quit.
We know that about 60% of the youth who use flavored nicotine in Colorado through e-cigarettes do so not because they have purchased them illegally, but because an adult in their life or in a friends’ life purchased them legally and provided them. That’s the reality. Likely addicted
adults are feeding new generations of teens who will become addicted themselves.
We have to ask ourselves, where does this end? And the answer we have come to is, with us.
We know the tobacco industry has spent billions of dollars and countless hours of effort ensuring they find new ways to keep people hooked on nicotine. They sold it as menthol, lasering in on communities of color and LGBTQ populations with heavy marketing. They delivered it as cigarettes until too many people wised up and realized it was killing us. Then they pivoted to flavored nicotine in e-cigarettes, targeting another generation with bright colors and tasty flavors that mask their carcinogens and addictive chemicals.
Now as we try to stop the sale of their newest creation, they cower behind individual vape shop owners who fear for the future of their small business, even though they launched that small business with the full knowledge that they were selling products that the federal government had already taken steps to ban. We understand the concerns of these small business owners and have increased the time allotted them to sell down their inventory and get out of the flavored nicotine business. They are still free to sell tobacco-flavored nicotine products to adults even after our bill becomes law.
But what they shouldn’t be free to do, what no one should be free to do, is provide products to our kids that are more addictive than heroin and sentence our kids to a lifetime of addiction, poor health and death.

With nicotine addiction, the right thing to do is rarely the easy thing
Colorado has been making important fixes to health care, passing several critical bills to lower costs and increase access to care – including creating the Colorado Health Care Option and Prescription Drug Affordability Board just last year. However, still, two-thirds of Coloradans are not confident they can pay for their usual health care services and nearly half of the people in our state have put off a medical procedure or treatment because an insurance company denied it, it was too unaffordable, or they could not get services where they lived, according to a recent poll conducted for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
When families cannot afford necessary care or guarantee their insurance coverage will be there when they need it, the consequences can be dire, particularly for those living with chronic conditions who require consistent care just to get by in their day-to-day lives. 62% of adults in Colorado are living with at least one chronic disease and if our state had better access to care, 18,400 lives could be saved annually. That is why Rep. Emily Sirota (D-Denver) and I are sponsoring a bill to make health care coverage more affordable and dependable for Coloradans by requiring transparency when it comes to costs, cutting red tape that stands in the way of better care, and ensuring savings are going directly to lower out-of-pocket costs for patients.
Our bill is essentially a consumer protection bill, making common-sense reforms that will bring integrity and fairness to our health care system and save Coloradans taking expensive medications up to $1,000 a year.
First, this bill will immediately reduce out-of-pocket prescription costs for Coloradans and prevent insurance companies from pocketing the billions of dollars in prescription drug rebates meant to help Colorado patients pay for their medicine. Our bill also bans the surprisingly legal practice of insurance companies pocketing payments made by friends, family, or third-party and charitable entities like GoFundMe meant to offset a patient’s out-of-pocket costs and then still billing the patient for the full cost of their treatment.
Second, our legislation removes medically unnecessary hurdles that patients with complex conditions often have to clear to get the medications recommended by their doctor. Insurance companies sometimes require patients to try and fail a treatment that is not medically recommended before covering medicine recommended by their doctor – a process that can take months known as step therapy. This practice can be dangerous and harmful as it can force patients to take medications their doctor may already believe are risky or ineffective while their condition worsens. As someone with epilepsy, taking the wrong medication can increase my likelihood of having a seizure, putting my safety, and ultimately, my life at risk. Nearly half of U.S. states have enacted common-sense reforms that guarantee patients can get the medicine recommended by their doctors that will keep them healthy, and it is time for Colorado to do the same. In fact, The National Organization of Rare Disorders (NORD) recently graded Colorado an ‘F’ for our lack of step therapy protections. It is time to stop failing patients who need care the most.
Third, our bill ensures contract integrity through consumer protections, so when you sign up for a plan, your insurance company cannot change the terms of medication coverage or cost in the middle of the year. This bill also increases consumers’ ability to plan ahead for expenses and make informed decisions with price transparency through predictable costs like having set dollar amount co-pays.
Nearly 90% of Coloradans believe that health care needs to be affordable for everyone, not just some. We are right to expect that patient health and access to care, not corporate profits, are prioritized in health care. Our bill makes crucial changes so Coloradans can count on and afford the health care needed for all of us to stay healthy.

At the same time, Wilson has just as steadfastly stood behind those in the force who are allegiant to a police department dedicated to transparency, accountability, fairness and professionalism.
Wilson has stood up against the mayor and others who insist it is the job of the police to insert themselves in the social and humanitarian crisis that has made thousands of people homeless.
Wilson has insisted that police focus on rebuilding trust in the community, paramount to successfully addressing crime, and at the same time she has pressed elected and appointed leaders to stand behind
Editor: Aurora City Council Member Danielle Jurinsky obviously can’t take the heat!
She gets into a heated discussion with other Aurora City Council Members during the 3/28 meeting and she storms off the dais like a child who doesn’t get her way. Oh, but she thought it was OK to fire off nasty comments about Chief Vanessa Wilson and others on the radio a few weeks ago but, when she’s confronted with items face to face she runs and hides like a 5-year-old.
Obviously, her Air Force training failed her, her education failed her and she doesn’t know how to handle conflict shown by her true representation as a council member. Time for Councilmember Jurinsky to go back to school to learn some manners, conflict management skills and class. Such a classless woman!

Editor: My liberal father told me: “Whatever you do, remember who you are.”
He embodied his own advice to show respect to all people; act with integrity; and always, always guard one’s honor.
I highly respected my now-retired conservative co-workers – good friends – because we shared my dad’s deep understanding of honor and integrity. They kept their own counsel, cautious to accept whatever new philosophy was being marketed. I sensed that they were in fact patriots, and took their Christian faith seriously.
The new generation of “conservatives” have traded in their parent’s honor for a new creed boasting hatred, violence, and entitlement. Their disloyalty to our nation is painful to witness. They celebrate beating and killing policemen, murdering unarmed civilians, and anti-American propaganda of foreign dictators. They are definitely not patriots – they desecrate our sacred institutions and rig elections with new laws. Where have my friends gone?

the police department with resources and support.
In relatively record time, Wilson has been able to demonstrably show that abusive behavior by sworn officers will not be tolerated, persuading a skeptical public that it can and should trust Aurora police as it enacts reforms mandated by residents, city leaders, state and, likely, federal officials.
No credible person on the city council nor in city management has offered a single reason why Wilson should not continue to lead the Aurora Police Department out of the quagmire that former police and city officials inflicted on the community.
Just weeks ago, Twombly and Wilson were lockstep in ensuring the state and
the public that Aurora was on track to enact police department reforms based on transparency and accountability.
Tentative public confidence in the embattled Aurora police department, and the city government as a whole, is absolutely undermined by a clandestine ploy to oust the very person capable of salvaging the police, and focusing on rising crime instead of internal scandal.
If Twombly or Wilson’s critics on city council have evidence of deeds or behavior by Wilson so inapt that it warrants her ouster, they need to make those allegations public now.
Much of the reason Aurora has sullied its image as a well-run city and virtually de-
stroyed the reputation of the police department is because of closed-door “internal” antics that permitted endless acts of police misdeeds to culminate into unchecked racism and malfeasance.
Aurora cannot continue to permit politics to permeate a critical function of the city that its council-manager structure was created to protect against.
City lawmakers need to either force disclosure of credible reasons to question Wilson’s leadership, or they need to voice their advocacy for Wilson to reassure Twombly she has the political support to continue her vital work.
Elected officials and community members are defending assailed Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson in the days after her attorney said she was pressured by a top city official to step down.
Wilson’s attorney Paula Greisen said the chief as well as Darin Parker are being targeted by a group of City Council members who want to oust them, alluding to denigrating comments made by Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky in particular.
Other council members said over the following days that they supported the chief.
“This is about politics and not about public safety,” said Councilman Juan Marcano.
He said Wilson has shown a great deal of courage in pushing back against those officers in the department who were caught abusing their power or abusing citizens.
“She is actually holding people accountable,” Marcano said. “She’s earned the respect and admiration of constituents across the city.”
Because of that, she’s become a target of part of the police department irked by demands for accountability among the ranks, he said.
The councilman said that some Republicans on the city council, and especially those elected in November, pandered to a contingent of police determined to oust Wilson and install a chief who would once again look the other way.
“No one police chief is perfect,” Marcano said. “But Wilson has been able to begin rebuilding the public trust in the city’s police. She stands
up for her officers.”
Last Monday, Greisen said Wilson was invited onto a Zoom call with Twombly in which the city manager said they needed to discuss an “exit strategy” for Wilson.
“Chief Wilson’s response was that she was not resigning and had no plans to resign,” Greisen said, “and that if the City of Aurora wanted to talk about that, they could contact me.”
Conservative Councilmember Steve Sundberg, who serves on the council’s policy committee for public safety, said he was “out of the loop” regarding any discussions between Wilson and senior city management about Wilson’s resignation.
“All I can really say is I think she’s done a great job building trust with the community at a time when the police department needed it,” he said.
Alison Coombs said during the council’s Monday night meeting that the council should “give some respect to our chief, who has stepped into mess, after mess, after mess that this department already had in place.” She complimented Wilson’s leadership and engagement with the community.
Coombs’ remarks came after Councilmember Dustin Zvonek alleged the police department’s records division was “mismanaged” — citing problems outlined in a recent Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act audit — and said the council needed “to ensure that we have the leadership capable of leading that department.”
“I hope that our city management will continue to look further into this,” Zvonek said.
Aurora NAACP Chapter President Omar Montgomery said he had “strong concerns” about Wilson being asked to leave while the city is under a consent decree.
He compared the alleged scenario of council members conspiring against Wilson to the controversy that erupted earlier this year when some members of the Douglas County Board of Education reportedly colluded in private to fire superintendent Corey Wise.
“If there’s real issues with Chief Wilson’s performance, let’s talk about it as a community,” Montgomery said. “I have concerns that the community is not involved in these discussions.”
He said the departure of Wilson would result in the department “starting from scratch” as it tries to rebuild trust within the community.
“I think Chief Wilson is doing the best she can to mend these fences,” he said. “If anything, I’ve heard people say they like the direction she’s going with accountability. … We’re definitely in a very important time when it comes to what Aurora’s Police Department is going to look like.”
State Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, who was a co-sponsor of Colorado’s 2020 police reform bill, said she found Twombly’s actions baffling, and that Wilson needs more time to try and rebuild the community’s trust in the beleaguered department.
“Chief Wilson deserves a chance, not a resignation letter,” she said. “You don’t change culture on a dime, it’s like turning around a ship. I think it’s premature, and I’m very disappointed.”
She wanted to know if city leadership has spoken to Wilson directly about whatever concerns they have with her performance.
“They want to ask her to resign because she’s holding people accountable for their poor performance?” she asked. “What are we supposed to do, have blinders on, and let (police) continue to do what they’re doing without oversight and
Lawmakers voted for a third and final time Monday to ban unauthorized camping in Aurora, laying the groundwork for a more aggressive policy of disbanding homeless camps.
The ban codifies much of the city’s current stance toward homeless campers, who in general will be given 72 hours notice to leave a campsite before they face the possibility of fines or arrest. City-sanctioned shelter space must be available to house all of the occupants of a camp before it can be swept once the 72 hours have elapsed.
Proponents argue that it will reduce the number of campers along streets and public spaces. Opponents say it will only push vulnerable homeless people to other public places to set up tents, as bans have in Denver and other cities.
Camping on private property without the owner’s permission or the legal right to be there may be prosecuted as trespassing.
Aurora currently uses a mosaic of laws and regulations to clear camps. Unauthorized camping would be made illegal per se by the ban, and council members have said they expect the outcome of the ban will be more consistent enforcement targeting camps.
Despite the fact that the homeless could be arrested if they refuse to leave a campsite, Mayor Mike Coffman once again said during Monday’s City Council meeting that the ban does not criminalize the homeless — unless they refuse orders by police to move — and it connects them with resources by prodding them into shelter.
“I think this is an important first step, in not only cleaning up our city, but helping those who are in these encampments who would be then required to go to a secure location where there are services,” Coffman said.
The ban was voted down last year by a split council. Coffman brought back the ban this year after the November election installed a conservative majority on the city council.
An amendment to the ban introduced by Councilmember Crystal Murillo also directs City Manager Jim Twombly to create a policy for storing the left-behind personal property of campers displaced by a sweep.
Murillo made her amendment March 14 — the change meant the ordinance had to go through an additional round of voting after being approved that night as well as the night of Feb. 28.
As they did twice before, council members Francoise Bergan, Curtis Gardner, Danielle Jurinsky, Steve Sundberg and Dustin Zvonek voted in favor of the ban on Monday, while council members Alison Coombs, Angela Lawson, Juan Marcano, Ruben Medina and Murillo recast their “no” votes.
Coffman again broke the tie in favor of the measure.
— MAX LEVY, Staff WriterA few weeks after Aurora’s mayor designated him the face of a program to help homeless veterans, Nathaniel “Omen” Crawford said his comments about legislation banning urban camping in the city were what made some city council members fear for their safety and call for the group to meet remotely Monday.
According to Crawford, during a meeting with Mayor Mike Coffman at city hall last week, Crawford said that the city would pay “a street price” for the council’s support of the ordinance, which passed a final vote Monday evening.
“Neither you, nor I, nor anyone could reasonably walk down Colfax and call anyone there garbage, and walk away safe. This law is legally (labeling) these same desperate people that same way,” Crawford explained in a Facebook message Tuesday.
Crawford said Coffman interpreted his remark about paying a “street price” to mean that he “intended harm to the (municipal) center” and said he was subsequently locked out of the building.
Mayor Mike Coffman said through a mayor’s office employee that he had no comment on the situation. Other city lawmakers said they found Crawford’s comments menacing and concerning.
When asked whether he planned to harm city council members, Crawford insisted the only reason he was labeled as a threat was because the mayor wanted to prevent him from speaking during public comment.
“When I came to the hearing yesterday, I had a backpack. In that backpack was nothing but a rubber mask and a bag (of) gummy worms. What threat is the Mayor assuming from that, surrounded by armed policemen?,” Crawford wrote. “Was he afraid I’d do what (Will) Smith did, and smack him upside the head for his disrespect? Seems kinda…overstated as a threat, don’t you think?”
Crawford also asked why he wasn’t searched by police while present at city hall if he was viewed as a legitimate threat.
Crawford also asked why he wasn’t searched by police while present at city hall if he was viewed as a legitimate threat. He called Coffman a “coward” and said the mayor was making excuses for “taking away my constitutional rights all because he knows he’s doing wrong, and I’m vehemently against it.”
Crawford started meeting with the mayor after passionately denouncing Coffman’s camping ban Feb. 28, saying the city wanted to “sweep away” the homeless like trash rather than offer meaningful help.
Crawford has been homeless in Aurora for about five years. The mayor’s office connected the U.S. Army vet with resources through the Aurora Veterans Day Works Program after the Feb. 28 meeting, and the mayor posted about Crawford’s enrollment on social media.

confirmed that Crawford was the person that the group was concerned about when they considered meeting remotely rather than in-person. They said along with police that it was social media posts which came under scrutiny Monday afternoon.
Crawford’s public Facebook page includes posts warning that the camping ban was “a declaration of class war.” The vet wrote on March 24 that he had taken “what may be my final opportunity to say goodbye to the Mayor in person” and that he was “aware I will not only be a casualty of this war, I will most likely be the first after this decision is made.”
Councilmember Curtis Gardner said Crawford’s social media feed contained “thinly-veiled threats” against the mayor and the rest of the group.
“It was carefully worded, so it wasn’t like, ‘I’m going to kill a person,’” Gardner said. “It’s pretty clear to me what the implication was. I felt a little unsafe.”
Gardner attended Monday’s meeting in person. Another council member, Steve Sundberg, said the Aurora Police Department sent an email to the council alerting them to social media posts by Crawford. Regardless, Sundberg said he was glad most of the council and the public were physically in attendance.
“My take is there was increased
security put in place last night, and you have to weigh being held hostage by these threats with conducting city business,” he said. “I understand how people feel a sense of anxiety from things like that, but the show must go on.”
Near the start of Monday’s meeting, Councilmember Francoise Bergan said she was attending remotely because of the perceived threats and said the council had considered meeting remotely as a whole.
“We heard from some staff members that were extremely, extremely concerned,” Bergan said at the time. “Some of the things you look at are intent, motive (and) resources. And I think all three of those things were present.”

Police say a 17-year-old boy was shot in the leg March 28 while he was in Red Tailed Hawk Park in southeast Aurora.
It’s unclear what time the shooting occurred, but police announced the shooting at about 9 p.m. in the park at 23701 E. Hinsdale Way. Southbound Aurora Parkway in the region was closed.
“No suspect description or additional details available at time,” police said in a social media post. “Large police presence in the area.”
Police later said the boy’s injuries were “non-life-threatening.”

One woman was killed and another critically injured, apparently shot some time early March 29 while they were in the parking lot of a central Aurora apartment complex, police said.
Police were called to the parking lot of Aurora Hills apartments, 11895 E. Archer Place, at about 5 a.m. Monday on a “welfare check,” according to a police statement.
“Upon officers’ arrival, they located two women suffering from apparent gunshot wounds,” according to the statement. “Tragically, one woman was pronounced deceased on the scene and the second was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.”
The women’s identity and details about how long they were in the parking lot after being shot and before being discovered were not released.
“At this early stage in the investigation, the facts and circumstances that led up to this death, to include suspect descriptions, are still being determined,” police said.
The dead woman’s identity will be released at a later date by coroner officials, which is standard police procedure.

— SENTINEL STAFFFor more than two years, the Aurora public defender’s office hasn’t known how many police officers with questionable credibility have been involved in cases that they’ve handled, because that information hasn’t been provided to them by prosecutors.
As a result, municipal Presiding Judge Shawn Day has ordered the city attorney’s office — which is required by law to supply that information to the defendant and his or her lawyers — to review every case since the beginning of 2020 that involves an officer with a so-called “Brady letter” and notify the defendant and their counsel the information wasn’t properly supplied.
It’s unclear how many that could be, but an attorney from the city told Day March 24 during a hearing on the matter that it was “a ton.” A more precise number may be available next month when the office is required to brief Day on the progress of case reviews.
Brady letters, born out of a 1963 Supreme Court decision, are provided by a police department to prosecution when an officer’s credibility has been called into question by either a criminal or administrative investigation. That could be for actions such as lying or showing some form of unlawful bias.
There is no uniform policy in how that information is to be distributed among attorneys, said University of Denver Law Professor Ian Farrell. But if not shared with the defense, it is considered a violation of due process.
The Aurora City Attorney’s office claimed the failure to share Brady letters was due to the lack of procedure by court information technology. In all, attorneys said public defenders have not received 13 Brady letters since Jan. 1, 2020 — just before the current chief defender started with the agency.
“Do you understand that you can’t rely upon and use an excuse as to the fact that you don’t have an automated system?” Day asked assistant city attorneys Andrea Wood and Megan Platt. “Shouldn’t it be the attorney’s responsibility?

hitting their desk. They read it all. There’s everybody listed that was involved in the investigation of this case. It falls into the hands and onto the shoulders of the attorney, not some sort of electronic system.”
Chief Defender Doug Wilson requested the hearing after realizing his office wasn’t notified of an officer with a Brady letter. The officer, Josiah Coe, had been fired and arrested for distributing meth in May 2021. Since that letter was issued, Coe has been tied to several cases the defender’s office is involved in, Wilson said.
Wilson said he obtained the Brady letter for Coe through an outside district attorney’s office. Per routine, those prosecutors received the letter from the Aurora Police Department, which authorizes the letter and sends it to prosecutors, including the city attorney’s office.
The letter was addressed to district attorneys in the 17th Judicial District, 18th Judicial District and Julie Heckman, deputy city attorney and head of the office’s criminal justice division.
The two assistant attorneys said that none of the 13 officers with Brady letters have been called as witnesses in a case. Day pointed out that Brady material is not only a trial issue, but information that’s constitutionally mandated to be shared during discovery. It’s also required in state court procedure rules.
Wilson said Thursday that he felt the city attorney’s office should be held in contempt of court and should be investigated by the state for the misstep. He also requested that the city attorney’s office hand over Brady material once it’s received from the police department.
In his decision, Day only required the office to review the cases. He said that because the rule to share the information is mandated, the agency should comply.
“It’s absolutely more than disturbing that what could be hundreds of cases affected and impacted for what is clearly, clearly required and a clear obligation and duty on behalf of the prosecution to provide this information to the defendant and his or her attorney. It’s disturbing,” he said.
The city attorney’s office, which has a criminal and civil division, said in a statement Friday that once the office “became aware of the issues in our previous process for Brady notifications, we began taking steps to make sure notifications are timely made moving forward. We are also quickly working to review past cases that may have been affected by this issue.”
Platt, the assistant city attorney, said during the hearing the office did keep a spreadsheet of officers.
Brady violations aren’t all that uncommon across the criminal justice system, Farrell said.
“For every Brady violation that is discovered and there are a lot, there must be, I imagine, many more that are not discovered,” he said, describing the process as a sort of “police policing police” scenario.
It’s possible that the cases affected by the absent Brady letters in Aurora municipal court are reopened and receive a new trial.
Farrell said retrial is really the only remedy in Brady violations.
“(The Brady process) is commonly criticized by academics and the defense bar because there are no sanctions against the individuals for Brady violations,” Farrell said. “If you’re a DA who regularly violates Brady, the conviction (may) get overturned, but it’s not like you get disbarred or an ethical sanction. You face no consequences at all. If you’re willing to simply re-try the case all the time, you can just do that. Especially if there is a likelihood that you will not be fined. You can see how the incentive rolls out.”
The city attorney’s office is expected to provide Day an update on complying with the court order to notify former defendants on April 25.
— KARA MASON, Managing EditorJurors on Friday found police used excessive force against protesters, violating their constitutional rights, during demonstrations over the killing of George Floyd two years ago, ordering the city to pay a total of $14 million in damages to a group of 12 who sued.
The jury of two men and six women, largely white and drawn from around Colorado, returned its verdict after about four hours of deliberations. The verdict followed three weeks of testimony and evidence that included police and protester video of incidents.
Lawyers involved believed it was the first trial in a lawsuit challenging officer tactics during the 2020 protests that erupted around the nation over the police killing of Floyd and other Black people.
The protesters who sued were shot at or hit by everything from pepper spray to a Kevlar-bag filled with lead shot fired from a shotgun. Zach Packard, who was hit in the head by the shotgun blast and ended up in the intensive care unit, received the largest damage amount — $3 million.
One of the protesters’ lawyers, Timothy Macdonald, had urged jurors to send a message to police in Denver and elsewhere by finding the city liable during closing arguments.
“Hopefully, what police departments will take from this is a jury of regular citizens takes these rights very seriously,” he said after the verdict.
Elisabeth Epps, a lawyer and activist who was one of the protesters who sued, said the attorneys for the city she loves gaslighted the protesters during the trial, questioning their account of what happened. At one point, a lawyer for Denver called her a “professional protester” after she testified that she had attended protests since she was a child and had received training about how to respond to being tear-gassed. She grew emotional talking about what it meant to have the jury side with the protesters.
“It feels like being seen,” Epps said.

It was a harmony in the making, James Laguana recalls.
While on a retreat with his students at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park in 2019, Laguana, a Rangeview High School choir teacher, learned that they weren’t the only choir there.
even been to Ellie Caulkins, let alone been onstage there.
He hopes that working with the DGMC will show them that they can continue to be involved in the arts after school, even if they don’t pursue it as a career.
The Denver Gay Men’s Chorus was also on retreat preparing for its holiday concert. His students asked if they could watch the chorus perform, and they agreed.
“We sang a couple of pieces for them, they were great students,” said James Knapp, artistic director of the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus. The students then asked if they could sing in return, and he said yes.
Secretly, Knapp admitted he was wondering how well the high school choir would be. To his delight, “they were wonderful!”
The two directors became friends, and for this weekend the Rangeview choir will join the DGMC on stage for its “Motown and More” concert. It’s the first time a high school choir has joined the DGMC for a professional performance.
The group performed in Highlands Ranch on Sunday, March 27 and will now perform on stage at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver on April 1 and April 2.
Laguana said he’s ecstatic for his students to have the opportunity to perform at such a prestigious venue. Many of them have never
With the exception of a holiday concert several months ago, this is the first DGMC performance since the beginning of the pandemic. The concert will feature half a century of African American pop music, “from the Temptations to Lizzo.”
The Rangeview choir will join the DGMC for “The Seven Last Words of the Unarmed,” a 14-minute vocal arrangement inspired by the last words of seven unarmed Black men and teenagers who were killed by police, including Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin.
Knapp said that he had been aware of the piece beforehand, but following the 2020 deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and the nationwide protests that followed — including the push in Colorado for justice for Elijah McClain — he “became very convinced that this was a really important piece to do.”
The arrangement is the most high-level work that his choir has done, Laguana said, and is designed to be performed by singers at the college level or above. His students have been practicing since September, and have thrown their all into being performance-ready, he said.
“As a high school, we wouldn’t normally be accomplishing this level of work,” he said. But “having the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus with us has made my group rise up to the occasion.”
Along with practicing the music, the students have also been learning about the people featured in the song and incorporating it into lesson plans, Laguana said.
The singers will also be joined onstage for
part of the concert by dancers from Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, an iconic, primarily African-American dance troupe based in Denver. The DGMC commissioned Cleo Parker Robinson, the founder, to choreograph routines to three of the songs the chorus will be singing, including Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” and Nina Simone’s “I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free.”
“It’s going to be a really special performance,” Knapp said.
The DGMC was originally scheduled to hold the “Motown and More” concert in 2020, at which point neither Rangeview or Cleo Parker Robinson were involved, but it was canceled due to the pandemic. The chorus held its first rehearsals the day before Denver shut down all its performance venues, Knapp said.
Singing is not an activity that’s conducive to being done virtually, and the chorus was shut down on March 15, 2020 and didn’t hold a live rehearsal again until September 2021.
“It was incredibly emotional to be reunited again,” Knapp said.
He said that having this performance, now with the dancers and the student choir involved, feels like coming full circle.
The pandemic was hard on Laguana and his students as well. For many of his students, choir is more than just a class, it’s like a family. He missed getting to see their faces and hear their voices. He even missed the frustration of working to get a difficult piece to come together.
He’s excited that now, as live music and theater gradually reemerge, his students have the opportunity to perform again and is honored that the DGMC asked Rangeview to join them onstage.
“We’re blessed to be a part of such an amazing arts community,” he said.

Ok, Mensa members, time for you to dust off those quarantine cobwebs and flex those frontal lobes for the world to see, just like you love to do in every possible conversation. Who played The Skipper in “Gilligan’s Island?” What are the six naturally occurring noble gases? What is Editor Dave Perry’s middle name? No matter the manner of questions that emanate from the north Aurora watering hole on any given Monday, it’s a plenty good excuse to put on your smarty pants and show off your largely useless knowledge at Cheluna Brewery. But honestly, we know you just want to be able to brag about how your team, Quizzie McGuire, maintains the sharpest wits in all the land. And if you can’t make it this week, fear not. The Cheluna crew runs the same game at the same time in the same place every gosh darn week. Rejoice, nerds. (Hint: The middle name starts with L.)
Open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. The exhibit is expected to be up until next month The Aurora History Museum 15051 E. Alameda Pkwy. Free. Visit auroragov.org or call 303-739-6660 for more information. Most Aurora residents of 2021 likely don’t know the name Sam Hoffman, but they’ve undoubtedly seen his work. A Russian immigrant and plasterer by trade, Hoffman and his sons were the masterminds behind one of the first meticulously planned out subdivisions that sprung up in the area in the late 1940s and early 1950s, as thousands of military officials and their families were descending on the city with GI Bill funds in hand. The hand Hoffman played in shaping Aurora from the late 1940s to the early 1960s is the focus of the newest exhibit at the Aurora History Museum. The display centers on Aurora’s growth at a time when duck-andcover drills and nuclear explosion simulations at the nearby Rocky Mountain Arsenal were quotidian affairs. The exhibit is even adorned with a replica 1950s kitchen and mock fallout shelter that residents can peruse as they learn about how Aurora (née Fletcher) became the bustling burg it is today.

Ethan Garcia, who is a student at Sable Elementary, holds a sign in support of keeping Sable Elementary open, as APS announced in December unanticipated plans to close the school in 2023, as part of the Blueprint APS plan. Garcia lifted the sign as those in attendance stood for the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of the board meeting. The board did not vote on the contentious issue at its first reading and will make a final decision next month.
The December 2021 Aurora Public Schools board of education meeting was the busiest since the board returned to having meetings in person. Every seat in the room was full, and across the hall, an overflow room was crowded with people signed up to speak.
Most of the attendees were wearing either union red or purple, the colors of Sable Elementary, a school tucked on an eponymous boulevard in northwest Aurora. Though small, the school was tight-knit and lauded for its work serving students from immigrant backgrounds.
The week before the meeting, the district caught Sable teachers and families off guard by announcing that the school would be recommended for closure at the end of the 20222023 school year as part of its
ongoing Blueprint APS plan.
“The only way to describe it is that we were blindsided,” Sable employee Leslie Burton told The Sentinel.
At the meeting, the Sable community let their disapproval be known, and did so again at the next several board meetings and the community forums the district held specifically to address the decision.
At its March meeting, the board ultimately voted to reject the superintendent’s recommendation that Sable be closed. The news was met with adulation by those who viewed it as a victory against a process they had criticized for a deficit of transparency and community involvement.
But it also raises questions about the future of Blueprint APS, which has been underway
almost five years, and whether the board will be able to come together to agree on an alternative.
“Going forward, I suspect this board is going to be electric and dynamic,” board member Michael Carter told The Sentinel. “Getting us to all agree on anything even though we’re family…it’s going to be tough. It’s going to take accountability and communication.”
Blueprint APS was launched in 2018 as a way to manage the district’s buildings and resources in response to declining enrollment trends after its former facilities plan expired in 2017. Like many urban school districts across the country, APS has been experiencing a persistent enrollment decline for ›› Continues on, 16
Photo by PHILIP B. POSTON/Sentinel ColoradoFor the past few years, APS officials have been working on a plan to redraw the entire school district, which like many across the nation, is seeing fewer students each year. The sweeping plan was scrapped by the school board last week, leaving changes in flux
about the past five years.
In the past six years, APS has lost around 3,800 students. According to Colorado Department of Education data, 42,249 students were enrolled in the district in the 2015-2016 school year and 38,451 in the fall of 2021 — an 8% decrease. That’s due in large part to declining birth rates and fewer families moving into the city as housing prices soar, but about 14% of students within district boundaries currently attend non-district schools as well. (That percentage has not increased significantly over time but it has been a “persistent challenge” for the district, Superintendent Rico Munn told The Sentinel.) The locations where families with young children live has also shifted, with growth increasing along Aurora’s E-470 corridor and declining in the western part of the city.
To address these trends, Blueprint APS divides the district into seven geographic regions. Enrollment will be assessed on a region-wide level, and some schools in each region that are considered under-enrolled will be closed, with students re-zoned to go to other nearby schools.
The district will also build a magnet school focused on a different subject in each region that students anywhere in the district (and even outside of it) can apply to. The first two magnet schools, focused on the arts and entrepreneurship, will open in the fall.
After putting the plan in place, APS began the implementation phase of Blueprint in the spring of 2019, and in January of 2021, the school board voted to approve the superintendent’s recommendations for three of the regions, which included repurposing or closing several elementary schools, remodeling others and opening a new P-8 school and the two magnet schools.
The recommendations for Region 1 were rolled out almost a year later, at the beginning of December. They included closing Sable and Paris elementary schools due to low enrollment and opening a magnet school focused on health on the campus of North Middle School along with a P-TECH program, a six-year program beginning in ninth grade that allows students to graduate with a high school diploma and a college associate’s degree.
Almost immediately, the decision was met with backlash due to the suggestion to close Sable. An initial document released in 2019 identified Crawford Elementary, Paris Elementary, Park Lane Elementary and North Middle schools as Region 1 schools that were under consideration for being closed or repurposed — but not Sable.
At the December meeting, Munn said that list was supposed to be seen as a draft, and
not a guarantee that schools that weren’t included would never be taken into consideration. It wasn’t a message that seemed to translate to the community, which spent the next several months telling the board and district administration they felt like a rug had been pulled out from under them.
Communicating effectively about Blueprint APS has been an ongoing preoccupation for district leadership, which has said that it considers community involvement paramount at every step of the process. But despite the community forums, online surveys, focus groups, task forces and other outreach methods in multiple languages the district has touted throughout Blueprint, one of the main frustrations voiced by Sable parents is that they did not understand the process or feel like APS was taking them into consideration.
“The logistics and people power it takes to communicate are not easy…at the same time, neither is the decision to close schools,” said Linnaea Reed-Ellis, president of the Aurora Education Association, which has supported Sable employees’ efforts to keep the school open.
The district’s attempts to explain the thought process behind the decision in the ensuing months met with little success. A virtual community forum in January turned sour when the district’s decision not to record the audience Q&A portion — intended as a decision to respect people’s privacy — was interpreted as another sign that parent’s voices weren’t being listened to.
Parents were also skeptical of the explanation that the district didn’t have a plan for what the Sable building would be repurposed for because leadership considered it inappropriate to make that decision before the community had even been notified it would potentially be closed. Throughout public comment, a common implication from parents was that the decision was being made so that the district could sell the school building, and was not truly for students’ benefit.
APS also got a cold shoulder from city government, with several Aurora city councilmembers grilling the district on the recommendation when it addressed them during a study session in early March. Councilmember Crystal Murillo spoke at public comment during the board’s February meeting in opposition to the plan, saying that she had 50 people show up to her January town hall upset about the Sable closure and asking if there was a way the district could partner with the city to pursue another decision.
“Don’t leave any option unexplored,” she said to loud applause.
Katherine Schultz, dean of CU Boulder’s School of Educa-tion, said that school closures are frequent sources of conflict between district leadership and families, particularly when districts close schools that serve as community touchstones, as many people said Sable does.
“So often when districts close schools they do it without paying close attention to the impact in the community, and to the students, and it does create distrust because there are often questions that people raise about, ‘Why this school? Why now?’” she said.
School closures “introduce a sense of precarity into a community,” Schultz said. “They feel that their dignity is being trampled on, and that they aren’t key stakeholders. And of course
they are.”
Things came to a head on March 22, when the school board had to make a final vote on the recommendation. The board had the option to vote in February but postponed the decision another month, with several board members saying they didn’t feel ready.
The extra month appeared to be of limited benefit, as during the discussion board members voiced confusion over what their options were and what would happen if they rejected the vote. Several board members expressed a desire to split up the vote — deciding on each recommendation individually — but were told that under their own policies they were not al-
lowed to do so.
Ultimately, board members Debbie Gerkin, Carter and Anne Keke voted yes on the recommendation (Keke after a long hesitation). The other four board members, Tramaine Duncan, Nichelle Ortiz, Vicki Reinhard and Stephanie Mason, voted no.
The sense of elation in the room was palpable as the understanding that the vote would fail dawned. Immediately after the vote several “Save Sable” supporters got up from their seats and unfurled a large, prepared banner in the back of the room.
“Dear Community, You Just Saved Sable” it declared in colorful spray paint.
One of the banner holders
was Liliana Saffron, who works as a family liaison at Sable. She was upset that the district would close a school that did such a good job at meeting the needs of its students, many of whom were low income or come from immigrant families and relied on the school for essentials like regular meals.
“Sable is not just an elementary school, it is a community hub,” she said at public comment in March.
The board members who voted no said that they were largely driven by frustration over how the process was handled and what they saw as a lack of transparency, particularly regarding the decision to close Sable.
During the meeting, board
member Reinhard said she was “highly uncomfortable” with the process and said that the effects of the pandemic had to be taken into consideration when going forward with Blueprint.
“This is not the same community that we started the project with,” she said.
Reinhard and Ortiz both said they were unhappy with how little notice Sable was given, and didn’t think it was fair that the school was told it was being considered for closure only several months before the vote.
Ortiz said she would like for the board to implement a requirement that schools must be on a list for potential closure for at least a year before the recommendation could go to a formal
not support the closure of Sable.
He said he supports Ortiz’s idea of a longer timeline, and personally would like for Park Lane to be repurposed and its students sent to Sable instead, which could house more students if mobile classrooms were used or more permanent classrooms were built.
However, he said that district families need to understand that it’s inevitable that some schools will have to be closed.
“I don’t want schools to feel like all they need to do is come and make noise at our board meetings or gather community to keep their school open,” he said. “We want you all to be a part of the conversation of what we should do next, but we need to put the information out in a way people understand it. It goes both ways.”
Carter said he had similar concerns, and was worried about the message the vote sent, although he also agreed that communication should be improved.
“We need to be accountable, and the first thing we do is punt,” he said. “How does that help?”
The Sable community is entitled to their frustration, he said, but at the end of the day, the board is accountable to the entire 40,000-student district and he thought this was the best way to help preserve resources for all students.
“The narrative out there that hurt me was that we were trying to abandon kids,” Carter said. “We want them to get the quality education that we deserve. That’s one of the reasons I’m behind it.”
Gerkin, the board’s president, had a similar frame of mind for her yes vote.
“I think we have a fiduciary responsibility to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars,” she told The Sentinel. “But even more than that, we must be thinking about every child’s education and making sure that every kiddo gets an equitable shot at shaping a successful future.”
intentionally pursue a small school strategy…that’s when you start to see imbalances in services for kids, and that’s the situation we’ve been trying to avoid by going through this Blueprint process,” Munn said. “But if you intentionally pursue a small schools strategy what you likely see is fewer services across the district but an equal distribution of them.”
After the vote on Tuesday, the board members struggled to come to a consensus about what they wanted to see next. The no vote triggered a requirement that Munn come back to the board with a new recommendation, but he struggled to explain to them that if they wanted something different they had to change the criteria for how the decisions were made.
The district is not currently using academic performance as a factor it looks at when considering what schools to close, nor is it simply identifying the absolute lowest-enrolled schools district wide and closing those.
Some of the board members seemed frustrated that the district hadn’t prepared another plan already in the event of a rejection.
“We do not work for you, you work for us,” Mason said at one point.
Eventually, they came to a decision that Munn would come back at the board’s May meeting with a set of Region 1 recommendations that can be voted on individually along with information about what pausing Blueprint would mean, including what the financial and other implications of doing that would be.
The board could potentially have a second opportunity to vote on the existing recommendations, if Munn brought them forward again. They could also decide to pursue a completely different approach for the rest of Blueprint, if they came up with something a majority of them agreed with.
vote, and that the district needed to be more intentional about the way it communicated to families.
“Considering the languages and diversity of our district I don’t think it’s that we didn’t try to do the communication, I think the way we packaged it was confusing to people,” she said.
Board members Mason, Ortiz and Keke declined to speak to The Sentinel. Reinhard did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Duncan, who voted no, told The Sentinel he would have voted to approve the closure of Paris and the magnet/P-Tech program if the decisions were separated out but that he could
One of the district’s overarching concerns regarding low enrollment was that it could create inequities between students in different schools. Schools with lower enrollment are less cost-effective, and more of their budgets are slated toward building maintenance than student services, according to district documents. This could lead to a situation where some APS students didn’t have access to the same classroom resources as others, depending on what size their school was.
Munn said that if the board decided it wanted to intentionally pursue a small-school strategy (which has benefits as well, such as closer relationships between teachers and students) the district would work to mitigate those disparities.
“The problem is if you don’t
Changing course at this point would have “serious financial implications” for the district, Munn said, as it would have to figure out how to prioritize resources at the same time as enrollment (and therefore the district’s budget) is declining. But he stressed the district isn’t doing this because it’s in a financial crisis (it went through a major budget restructure in 2017 before starting Blueprint), it’s doing it to address demographic trends.
Part of the chaotic nature of the process is the fact that it’s a long-term plan overseen by board members who serve limited terms, and the people who launched the process won’t necessarily agree with those who take up its mantle after they are gone. Whether that’s a feature or a bug is in the eye of the beholder.
“Democracy is never easy,”

It was truly a rare season on the ice for Aurora, as it was the first time in 15 years that neither the Regis Jesuit or Cherry Creek coop program appeared in the Frozen Four.
The Raiders — who had been to the semifinals in every season dating back to 2008 — got upended in the Class 5A state quarterfinals by Fort Collins and the Bruins came up short in an epic play-in game against Chaparral, leaving the championship to be decided without a local team for the first time in a long time.
Still, there was plenty of talent in skates between the
The Raiders were adept at scoring as usual and the top line was potent, with seniora Sean Holloway and Robbie Dembeck leading the way.
Hollway had the only goal in the quarterfinal loss and finished with 13 on the season as one three players with double-digit goals, while he also finished with a team-high 20 assists. Dembeck fell just short of the double-digit group as he accounted for eight goals while also registering 17 assists.
The Raiders were also stout defensively and that had a lot to do with the play in goal of senior Gage Bussey, who was outstanding and

It was a remarkable season in many ways for Regis Jesuit, which got off to an undefeated start before winter break, which included earning career win No. 300 for head coach Dan Woodley and original assistant coach Terry Ott. The Raiders would lose only two games on the entire season, including a contest to eventual state champion Denver East, while the second one ended their season as they fell 4-1 to an outstnading Fort Collins team in a quarterfinal playoff game played at Magness Arena.
unfortunately missed the quarterfinal playoff game due to injury. On the back line, senior Blake Bridges was an important piece for Regis Jesuit and also was able to go forward offensively when needed.
Coach Jeff Mielnicki’s Cherry Creek co-op team — a mix of players from schools across the Cherry Creek Schools — shook off a slow start to finish hot and qualify for a playoff game, which the Bruins lost after four overtimes to Chaparral with a spot in the 5A quarterfinals on the line.
One of the fastest skaters in the state played on the backline for Cherry Creek in the form of defenseman Addy Powell (a Grandview student), who was outstanding with the puck on his stick and also directed the team in many ways. He led the team with 18 assists, while he also scored eight goals.
The Bruins also had an offensive force in senior Dalton Berkey, who had several dangerous chances to end the playoff game in overtime, but came up just short. Berkey finished just shy of double digits for the season in goals, while he registered 11 assists to finish second on the team behind Powell.

One of the best overall girls swimming seasons across Aurora finished on a high note at the Class 5A state meet, where three local teams finished in the top 12 and two in the top six.
As has happened often, Regis Jesuit swimmers earned the majority of the spots on the 2021-22 Sentinel Colorado All-Aurora Girls Swim Team — which is determined by state performance — while two other strong Aurora programs have representation as well in Cherokee Trail (Skylar Brgoch) and Grandview (Megan Doubrava).

Dale also swam legs on the 200 medley and fourth-place 200 freestyle relay.
Frei earned the All-Aurora spot in the 100 backstroke with a fifth-place finish that represented an 18-spot climb from pre-meet seeding as she dropped five seconds and she was part of the 200 medley and 400 freestyle teams. Sanchez, fellow senior Amelie Colsman and junior Rosie Jump earned All-Aurora honors with relay teams as well.
Regis Jesuit dominated on the diving board with three top-nine finishes in the state championship. The Raiders’ charge was led by senior Chiara Lopach, who finished in third place with a season-best score of 462.25 points.
contingent is led by a state champion in senior Emma Weber, who captured her third 100 yard breaststroke state title in four years and also earned All-Aurora positions in the 200 yard individual medley individually as well as with the 200 yard medley and 400 yard freestyle relay teams for coach Nick Frasersmith’s Regis Jesuit team.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports EditorWeber — a University of Virginia signee — remained Colorado’s most dominant breaststroker. She was the only prep swimmer in the country to break the minute barrier in 2021 and while she wasn’t able to duplicate the feat aS A senior, her championship-winning time of 1:01.65 won by more than a second.
Weber was unable to defend her 2021 state title in the 200 yard IM, but she was Aurora’s only championship finalist and placed seventh. Weber opened the meet by combining with fellow seniors Grace Dale and Allie Sanchez and junior Sophia Frei on the third-place medley relay and joined fellow senior Faith Marsicek and juniors Frei and Samantha Aguirre on a fifth-place 400 yard freestyle relay that bested Cherokee Trail by just 0.48 of a second in the championship finals.
Dale earned All-Aurora slots in both the 50 and 100 yard freestyles in which she placed fifth and
Brgoch, a Washington State signee, capped an outstanding career with Cherokee Trail by earning All-Aurora honors in both the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly.
Brgoch came into the meet seeded to make the championship final in both events and she brought that to fruition with a sixth-place finish in butterfly and seventh-place result in the 200 free. While her butterfly time in the finals (56.27 seconds) was a little off her season-best time of 55.90, Brgoch bettered herself in the 200 free with a 1:54.36 (vs. 1:54.99 seed time). She also helped two relay teams for coach Kevin Chatham’s Cherokee Trail place in the top 12.
Grandview had an outstanding season that saw it finish in sixth place as a team. Coach Karen Ammon’s Wolves made the championship finals in all three relays and had at least one championship or consolation finals scorer in the other eight individual events.
The 500 freestyle definitely proved to be the purview of Grandview this season as only four Aurora swimmers qualified for state in the event both of the Wolves’ qualifiers — Doubrava and Brynn Koehler — earned second swims.
Doubrava exceeded both her pre-meet seeding in place and time when she swam a 5:09.75 (5:14.34 seed time) that easily won the consolation heat and put her in 11th place (projected 13th). Her finals time would have put her ninth in the championship finals.

Brandon Alconcel is set to lead his second Aurora prep football team as head coach, as the former Rangeview coach has been hired at Smoky Hill, the school announced March 28.
The hiring ends a six-week search for Smoky Hill to replace Tom Thenell, who had a successful four-season run with the Buffaloes, but revealed in February that he had accepted the job as offensive coordinator at Colorado Mesa University. Thenell led the Smoky Hill program to a 28-13 record and three Class 5A state playoff appearances over the past four seasons.
Alconcel is no stranger to Aurora football, having served as an assistant at Overland before he became the head coach at Rangeview in 2017. He led the Raiders for three seasons with a record of 8-22 before he stepped down after the 2020 season.
Alconcel spent the last two seasons as coach of different position groups at Eaglecrest, while he coincidentally had joined the Smoky Hill program recently in a post that had him run the weight room among a variety of other tasks. That familiarity gives him belief that the transition will be smooth, even as he knows he has big shoes to fill in Thenell, who put the program on a strong foundation after years of struggles.
“I think it’s a great fit for me to be at Smoky Hill and I can’t wait to get the pads on these kids and enjoy the season,” Alconcel told the Sentinel
Given how much success Thenell led the program to in the past four seasons — which included consecutive undefeated regular seasons — Alconcel doesn’t believe he has to change much. The belief the current group of players has is something that can’t be taught.
“There’s a foundation of winning now at Smoky Hill, so I’m not going to come in and change things, just really try to continue the work that Tom already did,” said Alconcel, who believes that a significant amount of starters on both sides of the ball will return.
Aurora has new coaches in place at Cherokee Trail (Justin Jajczyk), Eaglecrest (Mike Schmitt), Hinkley (Dennis York) and Rangeview (Chris Dixon) as well ahead of the new season in the fall.
Lauren Betts plays in annual McDonald’s AllAmerican Game
Grandview senior girls basketball star Lauren Betts became the second player from her program to take part
in the McDonald’s All-Star Game, a prestigious event that returned from a two-year in-person absence due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Fresh off helping lead the Wolves to the Class 5A state championship, Betts suited up for Team West in March 29 game at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago (aired nationally on ESPN2). She and Colorado’s other selection to the 24-player game, Raegan Beers of Valor Christian, both were in the starting lineup for Team West, which fell to Team East 95-75.
Betts finished with two points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots in 17 minutes, 42 seconds, of playing time. Beers had five points and five rebounds.
Betts also was one of the finalists for the Morgan Wootten National Player of the Year Award, which has been given out since 1997 and recognizes the McDonald’s selection that best “exemplify outstanding character, exhibit leadership, and embody the values of being a good citizen in the classroom and the community.” The award went to KiKi Rice of Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., who was also co-MVP of the game.

Este aviso deberá satisfacer dos requisitos de procedimiento separados pero relacionados para las actividades que llevará a cabo la División de Desarrollo Comunitario de la Ciudad de Aurora.
SOLICITUD DE LIBERACIÓN DE FONDOS
El 18 de abril de 2022 o alrededor de esa fecha, la Ciudad de Aurora presentará una solicitud a HUD para la liberación de fondos ESG-CV en virtud de la Subvención de Soluciones de Emergencia-CV, según enmendada. Este compromiso será para Restoration Christian Ministries ha solicitado hasta $ 350,000 en fondos ESG para el Proyecto de Refugios de Paletas y Exterior Espacios Seguros ubicado en 15660 E 6th Ave, Aurora, CO. 80011. Restoration Christian Ministries agregará una losa de concreto al este de su edificio principal. La losa de hormigón proporcionará hasta 50 refugios de emergencia para personas sin hogar y está destinada a ser segura y protegida. La energía se proporcionará a través del cableado eléctrico dentro de la losa de hormigón.
Las actividades propuestas han requerido una Evaluación Ambiental bajo las regulaciones de HUD en 24 CFR Parte 58 de los requisitos de la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental (NEPA). Un Registro de Revisión Ambiental (ERR) que documenta las determinaciones ambientales para este proyecto está archivado en la División de Desarrollo Comunitario de la Ciudad de Aurora, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, Colorado, y puede examinarse o copiarse los días de semana de 8 a. m. a 5 p. m.
HALLAZGO SIN IMPACTO SIGNIFICATIVO La Ciudad de Aurora ha determinado que el proyecto no tendrá un impacto significativo en el entorno humano. Por lo tanto, no se requiere una Declaración de Impacto Ambiental bajo la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental de 1969 (NEPA). La información adicional del proyecto se encuentra en el Registro de revisión ambiental (ERR) archivado en la Ciudad de Aurora, División de Desarrollo Comunitario, 15151 E.

COMENTARIOS PÚBLICOS
Cualquier individuo, grupo o agencia puede enviar comentarios por escrito sobre la ERR a Alicia Montoya, City of Aurora, Community Development Division, 15151 E.

Todos los comentarios recibidos antes del 17 de abril de 2022 serán considerados por la Ciudad de Aurora antes de autorizar la presentación de una solicitud de liberación de fondos. Los comentarios deben especificar a qué Aviso se dirigen.
CERTIFICACIÓN AMBIENTAL La Ciudad de Aurora certifica a HUD que Alicia Montoya, en su calidad de Gerente de la División de Desarrollo Comunitario, consiente en aceptar la jurisdicción de los Tribunales Federales si se inicia una acción para hacer cumplir las responsabi-
lidades en relación con el proceso de revisión ambiental y que estas responsabilidades han sido satisfechas.

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations for the City of Aurora, Arapahoe County, CO, and Case No. 21-08-0396P. The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway. The FIRM and, if applicable, the FIS report have been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title 44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. For more information on the proposed flood hazard determinations and information on the statutory 90-day period provided for appeals, please visit FEMA’s website at https://www.floodmaps. fema.gov/fhm/BFE_Status/bfe_main.asp , or call the FEMA Mapping and Insurance eXchange (FMIX) toll free at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).
