PERRY: Lawn gone — time for Colorado to give up thirsty green front yards

The amazement of my first jet ride as a kid still lingers, from the thrilling thrust and the shocking realization that I live in a desert.

Back in the 1960s, obsessed with catching a ride, I cajoled my grandmother to drop me off in Colorado Springs at the end of one summer after a season of picking onions and tomatoes in Manzanola. It’s part of the Arkansas Valley, where river water spread over thousands of acres of dry land produces world-famous melons, peppers and more.

As an expensive lark, I treated myself to a Frontier Airlines 727 flight from Colorado Springs to Stapleton Airport in Denver.

The takeoff speed made me giddy.

It’s a short flight, but the Boeing workhorse gained respectable altitude on its way to Concourse C in Denver.

From about 20,000 feet in the air, I realized for the first time that the Front Range is actually brown. There are no trees. No dense scrub. Just a lot of dirt and some roads as Colorado’s high plains exist in their natural state.

But as you fly into Denver, beginning in Aurora, the emerald yards are a stunning contrast.

That was about 50 years ago. The population, and sprawl, of the Aurora-Denver metroplex has pretty much tripled.

By removing water naturally destined for Colorado’s major rivers, and, ultimately, the ocean, more than 3 million people are pumping billions of gallons of water on the Front Range’s viridescent quilt, which now sprawls from Castle Rock to Lyons and pretty much east to Watkins.

Denver Water, which supplies most of the metro region, other than Aurora, pumps about 369 million gallons of water a day. In the summer, and as much as about half of that gets poured onto laws to keep them alive and as green as possible.

Aurora Water, one of the most innovative water providers in the country, provides about 55,000 acre feet of water to the city’s almost 400,000 residents and 5,500 businesses. Like Denver, Aurora residents pour about half their water onto their lawns during summer.

And you know what you do with all that water you pour on in the dirt around your house or apartment building? You walk right past it.

Well, not on weekends. Then you walk over the top of it with a lawn-mower.

The notion of home lawns is one of those weird European immigrant things. Going back to the 1600s — before I was in school and required to care for our own family farm of Kentucky bluegrass — lawns of herbs and natural grasses created clearing around homes as a form of security.

The notion came steadily with im-

migrants from Europe as they took over this continent, with fine-bladed grass lawns crowding out more sensible ground covers.

But as those of us from here can see, there are no woods to clear and fear, pretty much between Kansas City and western California.

There are no trees and no lush vegetation because there is no rain to keep it alive.

What grows here naturally is what most people call weeds. We spend a great deal of time and money to kill local vegetation from their lawns, which can’t survive here without a lot of extra water.

While this was little more than a novelty to me as a kid in the 1960s, the oddity of planting a yard full of grass to flood and mow so you can look at it once in a while, has become a serious problem.

Grassiness is a quagmire because so many people live here now, the extravagant amount of water thirsty fescue requires threatens things like drinking and flushing the toilet, especially in places downstream of the metro area. In relatively newly inhabited parts of the Front Range, reliable water is already gone or on the verge of being critically unreliable, even outside of a drought.

It’s long past time to end the emerald madness here in the desert.

Aurora has a good start. Not only has Aurora Water found ways to reclaim water sent downstream, the city has long been in the forefront of cajoling and sometimes forcing people to treat water like the rare commodity it is along the Front Range.

The city has long watered some parks with treated sewage water.

Aurora was in the front of the parade to create water-saving homes, even while the hose ran outside in the front yard.

The idea of lawn-watering restrictions have been around longer than most people who live here.

For decades, the city has nudged and prevailed on residents to try a front yard full of thyme, planters, almost anything other than thirsty grasses that we perpetuate here only because we’ve always done it that way.

The latest round of news — that, despite a snowy winter, drought is likely and, with it, further water restrictions for your lawn: two days a week, not three — has caused a stir among some.

The Aurora Water predictions presented to city lawmakers in February sent off a surprising round of huffing and puffing from the region’s “freedom” types, questioning the inexact and critical science of community hydrology.

The “get off my god-given-lawn rights” types sound like Colorado’s congressmembers Ken Buck and Lauren Boebert, sneering at climate change warnings when it rains, or insisting that “real Colorado farmers” need and use assault rifles to keep raccoons in check.

Fortunately, the majority of city lawmakers agreed recently with Mayor Mike Coffman to essentially end thirsty front lawns and side yards for all new homes built. Why it took this long for Aurora to simply do the obvious is a testament to the same human nature that has us watching a groundhog predict the length of winter each year.

The era of thirsty front-yard carpeting is lawn gone. Move along. Aurora even provides incentives to dig it up and give it up. As if you need any. Follow

So-called GOP ‘Parents Bill of Rights’ is only a list of political wrongs

It’s easy to sense a perilous political reckoning sinking over America, but the most treacherous struggles are headed for school boardrooms, not state capitols.

Republicans believe they’ve discovered the populist Holy Grail in using schools, teachers and public education as a political punching bag.

Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis has branded himself the anti-public-schools czar of his state, blaming schools and teachers for a host of public ills.

The presidential contender is part of a growing trend among far-right conservatives trying to create a false narrative of secretive, insular public schools where teachers huddle in regular cabals over how to brainwash children into believing political “nonsense,” such as understanding the risks of climate change.

Increasingly, what were once far-right fringe groups promoting conspiracy theories have become mainstream conservative political agendas.

Colorado is among states being subjected to this right-wing hokum and fakery.

During the 2022 gubernatorial election, GOP nominee and University of Colorado Regent Heidi Ganahl insisted that public schools were saddled with veritable herds of children who demanded to “present” as “furries.”

Ganahl’s claims and other complaints were widely debunked by the media and the schools themselves. The fury over flurries was a hardly coy attempt to swipe at transgender children and the challenges schools face in teaching them.

Also last year, a Republican on the State Board of Education attempted to insert a far-right political philosophy in state history curricula. As first reported by Chalkbeat, Republican Steve Durham, wanted “students to learn the false idea that the Nazis were socialists and that left-wing regimes are uniquely prone to commit genocide.”

Last week in Congress, House Republicans narrowly passed a bill promised to 2022 voters that seeks to “give parents a role in what’s taught in public schools,” according to an Associated Press report.

The farcical legislation panders to the growing far-right ruckus over schools, which has led to a flood of banned-book attempts, attacks on transgender students and bombastic attacks at school board meetings across the country.

The so-called Parents Bill of Rights Act cynically promises to wield the federal government in an attempt to deliver what parents in Aurora and across the state and nation already have: local control of schools.

The measure seeks to make public course studies and library materials, to allow parents to meet with educators at least twice a school year, speak at school board meetings and see school budgets.

Schools plead with and sometimes even have to bribe parents to come to back-to-school nights, parent-teacher meetings and other community functions.

Parents in school districts such as Aurora Public Schools can call ahead and even have translators available to them at school board meetings, to speak or just to observe.

Not only are school district budgets available online in school districts across the state, finite details about the plight of teacher pay and school spending are absolutely transparent — with just a few clicks of the mouse.

The “Parent Bill of Rights Act” is a ruse. What these far-right Republicans want, as outlined by Colorado’s own GOP extremist Congressperson Lauren Boebert, is to forbid schools to address concerns by transgender children and their parents, to end sex-education in schools, to end the ability of the federal government to ensure disabled children and girls receive equal treatment in all public schools, and to ensure extremists like state school board members Steve Durham are successful in forcing schools to teach partisan propaganda and not academics in history classes.

Public schools are under extreme pressure to help millions of children recover from lost-learning caused by the pandemic. And in thousands of places like Aurora, the community will almost certainly be targeting schools as the nexus for student mental health care and systems to reduce juvenile gun violence.

Residents should push back to local members of congress and the state legislature who seek to perpetuate this false far-right narrative endangering public schools and education.

Control of schools are local, and they need to stay that way.

gun violence requires every level of government

One evening last month, I returned home after a long day of lawmaking at the State Capitol to find one of my front windows shattered. A stray bullet from a drive-by shooting had gone through my window, hit a china cabinet in my living room, and damaged the wall behind it.

As you can imagine, I was shaken. As a mother of a son lost to gun violence, those same emotions, the same fear, was immediately brought back to the surface. It’s a difficult thing to feel unsafe sitting in your living room, wondering if tonight might be the night that you will be in the exact wrong place at the wrong time. Wondering whether that stray bullet might make contact with something other than a china cabinet.

I know that many others in my community feel similarly. In recent months, Aurora has been rocked by a frightening increase in gun violence incidents. Our nightly news is a near constant stream of addresses where a shooting took place, a daily recap of violence inflicted in our neighborhoods.

Just recently, Denver East High School suffered its second shooting in only six weeks. Last month, Luis Garcia was shot and killed in his car just outside of the school. Now, two faculty members have been hospitalized after a student at the school shot them. Enough is enough. Our children and teens deserve to feel safe in their communities and classrooms.

I am tired of hearing these reports. I am tired of living in constant fear of gun violence, wondering if my friends, family or I might be the next victim. The epidemic of bullets in bodies must stop. I will continue to stand up to interrupt gun violence in our community and state.

Since being elected to serve in the Colorado General Assembly in 2011, I have dedicated myself to working on policies to build safer communities for all. Following the Aurora theater shooting, I sponsored a bill to ban high-capacity magazines, and just two years ago, after the Boulder King Soopers shooting, I worked to establish the Office of Gun Violence Prevention in Colorado. These are just a few of the many steps we have taken to

reduce gun violence in our state, but there is so much more we can do.

This year, I am working with my colleagues in the State Senate on a package of bills that will help reduce gun violence of all kinds. We are fighting to pass laws that will raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm, implement a three day waiting period for firearm purchases, and expand and improve Colorado’s ‘Red Flag’ law which allows individuals to file extreme risk protection orders to temporarily remove guns from a person at danger to themselves or others. Additionally, we are working on a bill to hold gun manufacturers accountable for their actions so the same mistakes don’t continue to be made over and over again.

I’ve also introduced legislation that would ban the purchase of assault weapons in Colorado and make it harder for weapons of war to wind up on our streets.

As a state, we must take seriously the threat of gun violence all across Colorado. But, we also have to think locally about solutions that are specific and unique to our own communities.

That’s why I also hope to work alongside the Aurora City Council and community advocates on more localized efforts to reduce gun violence such as gunfire detection technology or license plate readers, so we can better track incidences of gun violence and understand the root of the problem.

I believe that every Auroran and every Coloradan deserves to feel safe and secure in their community, whether they’re at home, at school, or at the grocery store. I don’t want anyone to have to live in fear that their house might be in the way of a stray bullet like mine was.

There is no single solution that is going to eliminate gun violence. It’s going to take all of us working together at every level to make real progress on this issue. I’m committed to doing the work to reduce gun violence and build a safer Aurora, and I hope you are too. Together, there is much more work for us to do.

ICE prison death probed

CROW, IMMIGRATION ACTIVISTS SAY GEO ICE PRISON INVESTIGATION COULD EXPLAIN DEATH OF INMATE

BY CARINA

The results of a federal investigation into the death of a Nicaraguan man in Aurora’s GEO immigration detention center are expected to be released later this month.

Nelson Calero-Mendoza, 39, died in October after collapsing in the facility and being taken to the hospital. An autopsy and a death report released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that he died of a pulmonary embolism after sustaining a series of injuries to his right leg while in the facility that received limited medical treatment.

A federal inquiry into his death from ICE’s Office of Professional Responsibility is ongoing. The incident has prompted calls for more answers and renewed scrutiny of the facility, which has repeatedly drawn criticism for its treatment of inmates.

At a tour of Aurora nonprofit Casa de Paz Monday morning, Democratic Aurora Congressperson Jason Crow said GEO has not been transparent in providing information about Cale-

ro-Mendoza’s death and reiterated his belief that for-profit immigration detention centers should be shut down.

“We’ve never had the level of transparency and engagement that you would expect, frankly, because these for-profit facilities have perverse incentives so they’re never going to be fully transparent,” he said.

Crow joined Colorado’s senators in calling for an independent investigation into Calero-Mendoza’s death.

“When they’re done with the investigation, obviously we’ll expect full information on the results of that,” he said Monday.

Casa de Paz provides a place to stay for people being released from the GEO facility, many of whom have very little resources.

“People are released from these facilities often times with no safety net, right on the streets, no baggage, no personal belongings — nothing,” Crow said. “It’s bad for them, and it’s bad for the community.”

The organization, which owns a house in Aurora near the detention

center, provides people with food, shelter, telephone and computer access and transportation to help them get to their final destination. The average stay is one and a half days, and the majority of people ultimately travel out of state to reach family or friends.

Executive director Andrea Loya said the organization has “a lot of concerns” about how people are treated in the GEO facility based on what they’ve been told from people they serve.

Some people have told her that they would rather be in a regular prison than the immigration detention center because the conditions are better. Many people complain about the conditions in GEO, she said, but ultimately are shocked that this is the way people trying to seek asylum are treated.

“People did not realize that the U.S. would punish them for trying to seek a better life,” Loya said.

An autopsy from the Adams County Coroner’s Office dated Feb. 7 said that Calero-Mendoza’s cause of death was

a pulmonary embolism caused by deep vein thrombosis in his lower extremities. The manner of death was ruled an accident. Results of the autopsy were first reported by Colorado Public Radio.

“The decedent’s history of a right lower extremity injury playing football may have decreased his mobility and would be a risk factor for developing deep vein thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary emboli,” an opinion letter from a forensic pathologist in the autopsy said.

An autopsy report obtained by the Sentinel states that Calero-Mendoza collapsed suddenly while in the kitchen of the detention facility and was taken by EMS personnel to the hospital, where attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

Calero-Mendoza did not have any identified chronic health problems, the report said, but had injured his leg twice in recent months while playing football. On or around Sept. 4, he injured the big toe on his right foot, and on Sept. 27, he injured his right leg.

A detainee death report released by ICE contains more detail but also has inconsistencies

with the autopsy.

The death report said that Calero-Mendoza was seen by a nurse on Sept. 1, Sept. 12 and Sept. 29 for pain to his right foot and right calf. The report says that Calero-Mendoza told medical staff that he had injured his foot while playing soccer — not football, as the autopsy stated — in early August and that the pain had continued to get worse.

During the three sessions, the report said that Calero-Mendoza was given acetaminophen and ibuprofen, told to stay off his foot, to apply ice and warm compresses to the affected area and to return to the clinic if his condition worsened.

Shortly before 11 a.m. on Oct. 13 Calero-Mendoza had a medical emergency and was given oxygen before being transported by EMS to the UCHealth hospital, where he was declared dead at 12:32 p.m.

“Upon arrival (time unknown) at the UCH emergency department, Mr. Mendoza experienced cardiac arrest,” the report said. “EMS personnel and hospital staff performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and administered advanced cardiac life support medications for several minutes.”

AROUND AURORA

Aurora police tab completion of policy and training reform milestones

Aurora police have announced strides made toward compliance with the city’s consent decree in the form of new policies and training focusing on de-escalation, constitutional law and more.

Drafted following the death of Elijah McClain, the consent decree is an agreement between the city and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office that mandates dozens of reforms meant to end a pattern of racially-biased policing and excessive force.

The Aurora Police Department was previously admonished for missing a number of training and policy deadlines in the decree by IntegrAssure, the risk management firm tasked with monitoring Aurora’s compliance with the consent decree.

“We are still in the process of getting caught up, but we have a plan with the monitor to make that happen,” division chief Chris Juul said Thursday. “We have done an incredible amount of training so far in this past year. … We have people out there doing a lot of great work, and we just want to make sure they have good guidance from the leadership.”

According to a news release, as of March 1, all sworn officers have

received training on intervening when fellow officers use unnecessary force as well as de-escalating critical incidents, including interactions complicated by mental health problems.

APD started running officers through the Active Bystandership for Law Enforcement training program in 2021, and all officers were said to have completed two sessions of training in 2022, with updated training forthcoming in mid-2023. The Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity Act requires officers to intervene and file a report if they see another officer using unlawful force.

The Integrating Communication Assessment and Tactics training program was rolled out over a two-month period and completed in 2023.

The department also announced the rollout of its new constitutional policing policy, which was drafted to provide clear guidance to officers regarding when they should stop and search members of the public. The Colorado Attorney General’s Office previously found that Aurora police interacted with and stopped people of color disproportionately.

The so-called “constitutional policing” policy, cited on the department’s website, lists several different types of stops and searches, and describes when officers are allowed to initiate each and what officers are allowed to do during these encounters while respecting the public’s Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

Police said in the news release that training on the policy was completed in February and included how officers are required to document their interactions with the public by the Enhance Law Enforcement Integrity Act.

A separate policy on bias-based policing reiterates the importance of officers relying on the constitutional policing policy when making stops and describes the negative consequences of officers stopping citizens based solely on demographics when those demographics aren’t part of a suspect description.

“Biased-based policing undermines legitimate law enforcement efforts, alienates a significant percentage of the population, and fosters distrust of law enforcement by the public,” the policy reads. “Sworn members should recognize the value of creating opportunities to improve the perceived legitimacy of the agency by the public.”

Training on the bias-based policing policy is still in development and will be delivered to officers later this year, the news release said. Aurora police also began training jointly with Aurora Fire Rescue firefighters to improve cooperation at emergency scenes.

Police spokesman Joe Moylan broke down which of the specific mandates in the consent decree the new policies and training reflected. They included multiple mandates associated with deadlines that the department has missed.

Juul said the department is still getting caught up on deadlines re-

the complaint.

The complaint alleges that because of the severity of the bullying and the perpetrator’s prior history, the plaintiff’s rights under the Colorado Claire Davis Act to be protected from violence at school were violated.

Cherry Creek School District officials deny the school or district were negligent in protecting the student, saying schools prioritize anti-bullying programs and procedures.

The Claire Davis School Safety Act is a 2015 state law saying that school districts can be held liable for damages if they are found to have failed to protect students from “reasonably foreseeable” crimes of violence at school. The law is named after the victim of the 2013 Arapahoe High School shooting.

The law defines the crimes of violence as murder, first-degree assault or felony sexual assault. Raykin cited past legal precedents to argue that Student 1’s behavior fell under the definition of first-degree assault because of the severity of the damage he caused to the plaintiff.

“Because this assault and the harm it caused was reasonably foreseeable, the district had a duty to protect Plaintiff from such an assault,” the complaint stated.

Raykin has also filed a similar lawsuit regarding a case in Grand Junction and said he plans to file

more. He’s filing the cases in part because besides there are some avenues under disability law for students with special needs, there are almost no avenues to prosecute bullying.

Most students are not seriously physically injured as a result of bullying, but in some cases it can cause serious harm — including spurring students to suicide.

“Our intention is not to bring it as a test case in the sense that we’re not using it as an experiment, they have legitimate claims,” he says of the lawsuits. However, he expects the school districts to attempt to get the Claire Davis Act interpreted in ways that will favor schools.

“We do anticipate a fight,” he said.

Besides his own, Raykin said the only legal case regarding the Claire Davis Act he is aware of is the lawsuit the parents of Kendrick Castillo filed against STEM School Highlands Ranch. Castillo, 18, was killed during a shooting at the school in May 2019 while rushing one of the shooters.

The Castillos recently turned down a settlement offer awarding them damages under the Claire Davis Act, the Post reported, saying they want the evidence from the discovery process to be made public to expose failures in school safety.

A representative for Cherry Creek said that Raykin’s lawsuit did not not fit the legal requirement for a waiver of immunity under the Claire Davis Act.

“Cherry Creek School District does not tolerate bullying,” spokesperson Lauren Snell said in an email. “Our staff takes any report of bullying very seriously and we investigate it to the fullest. Everyone has the right to feel safe and respected in our schools.”

Raykin described the district’s claim as “nonsensical.”

“This is exactly the kind of case that the Claire Davis Act was passed for in the first place,” he said.

Ultimately, Raykin said that he would prefer for there to be more policies on the books requiring schools to be proactive about bullying before things escalate to the kind of behavior that his client allegedly suffered.

“I’m much more interested in having laws that would have prevented that from happening than suing schools once it does happen,” he said.

sity of Colorado Boulder have been allowed to admit two out-of-state students for every student they admit who participates in the Colorado Scholars Program. The number of students who can be double-counted has been capped under current law to 8% of in-state students in the incoming freshman class.

House Bill 96, which is close to becoming law, would raise that cap to 15% of in-state freshmen in the program. That higher cap would create an incentive to enroll more Colorado Scholars, who can get $2,500 a year or more in merit aid, so that universities can also enroll more high-paying, out-of-state students.

Boulder is near that limit.

University of Colorado System officials say they would use the increased money from enrolling more out-of-state students to offer Coloradans more merit- and need-based scholarships, and to become more competitive when recruiting in-state students — especially with a smaller pool of college-aged students.

School officials said the university accepts every qualified Colorado applicant. But many Colorado students never end up on campus, and the school is able to consistently enroll only about 80% of Colorado students who were accepted. Last year, however, was an outlier, with the school enrolling 92% of all Colorado students who were accepted.

In exchange for offering financial aid to more in-state students, Colorado universities soon could be allowed to admit more students from out of state who pay almost twice as much in tuition.

Universities such as the Univer-

State officials and others want Colorado colleges and universities to benefit Colorado students as much as possible, since they get taxpayer support. But lawmakers have cut state funding for schools over the years while allowing tuition hikes. That has led schools to look toward out-of-state students to bring in more revenue.

At the same time, the rising tuition has made some students rethink whether universities, especially the state’s flagship, are worth the financial burden, or if they can find a better deal elsewhere.

The bill would likely have the biggest impact on the University of Colorado Boulder, which backs the proposal. State law requires that an average of no more than 45% of incoming freshmen at public universities come from out of state, and CU

Colorado funds its public higher ed institutions at some of the lowest rates in the nation, leading colleges to raise tuition and recruit more out-of-state students who can pay more. Meanwhile, Colorado families carry high tuition burdens compared to other states.

Colorado students pay about $30,000 a year in tuition. Out-ofstate students pay about $57,000.

Across all classes, CU Boulder provides $15.5 million in merit aid for about 4,200 students, school officials said in a statement. It also supports about 1,700 students through a need-based program that pays for a student’s share of tuition.

Officials at the school said enrolling more out-of-state students is a way to sustain and increase that aid.

CU, other state colleges eyeing more out-ofstate students if they boost in-state aid

University of Colorado System spokesman Ken McConnellogue said in a statement the Boulder campus’ primary focus remains on recruiting, retaining, and graduating Colorado students.

“We believe this bill will increase affordability and access for those students while also enhancing our ability to keep Colorado’s top students in the state,” he said.

Colorado isn’t the only flagship school that’s considered how to weigh in-state student enrollment versus out-of-state enrollment, according to Tom Harnisch, State Higher Education Executive Officers Association vice president for government relations.

Because out-of-state students pay higher tuition, universities around the country have lobbied to lift enrollment caps on them as states’ overall spending on higher education has declined in recent years, he said. This year, for instance, North Carolina increased how many out-of-state students its universities can admit.

Similar to what the Colorado bill proposes, some schools have increased merit aid while also increasing the overall number of out-ofstate students on campus, he said. The change doesn’t mean there are fewer in-state students, Harnisch added, just a shift in the share of students not from the state.

The bill has passed the House and Senate and needs approval from Gov. Jared Polis. It is sponsored by state Sen. Dylan Roberts, a Democrat from Avon, Senate Minority Leader Paul Lundeen, a Monument Republican, and state Reps. Judy Amabile, a Boulder Democrat, and Matt Soper, a Delta Republican.

The bill initially raised eyebrows among some state leaders.

Colorado Department of Higher Education Executive Director Angie Paccione said in February that she didn’t want to see schools become predominantly out-of-state student serving.

But a department spokeswoman said Paccione now believes CU Boulder has demonstrated that all eligible in-state students are accepted at the school — and that accepting eligible resident students is a priority. Paccione no longer has concerns about the legislation.

The bill will also require schools to report how many out-of-state and in-state students schools enroll before the double count occurs, how schools use revenue for the purpose of aid, and where students that qualify for aid come from in the state.

Colorado needs more homegrown talent from its universities, especially because that state has large gaps when it comes to who gets a degree, said Katie Zaback of Colorado Succeeds, which brings together business leaders to advocate for education.

Zaback, the organization’s vice president of policy, said a priority for Colorado Succeeds is to examine what solutions there are to get more Colorado students access to a high-quality education, such as at CU Boulder.

CU Boulder enrolls a group of students that aren’t representative

of the state’s high school graduates, she said. And she worries the bill, if it’s enacted, would send a message that Colorado’s best and brightest can only be educated if the state recruits more out-of-state students.

“I wonder if that’s true,” Zaback said. “I wonder what the overall equity implications are.”

Firefighters snuff brush fire in south-central Aurora after forced evacuations

Aurora Fire Rescue responded to a brush fire north of the intersection of Parker Road and Chambers Road March 31, forcing evacuations for nearby homes as strong winds whipped across the region.

The agency wrote in a Twitter post that the fire was reported at around 3:15 p.m., and that only vegetation and a bridge in the nearby open space had been burned as of 4:05 p.m. Firefighters reported that eight fire engines, three brush trucks, a ladder truck and a tender were on-scene.

Just after 4:20 p.m., officials said the fire was “contained” but that extensive “mop up” would be required.

“Door-to-door evacuation was necessary for some nearby residents,” the agency wrote. “Fewer than a dozen homes/condos have been evacuated.”

The agency asked that members of the public avoid the area while the fire is brought under control.

Police say Arapahoe County man shot dead his wife in driveway March 30

Deputies say an Arapahoe County man shot his wife to death in their driveway Thursday morning and then crashed his car as he sped away from the scene.

Arapahoe County sheriff deputies were called by neighbors to the home at 5280 S. Geneva Way at about 8 a.m. to respond to a domestic disturbance.

“When they arrived, they found a deceased female, age 42, in the driveway with a gunshot wound,” sheriff spokeswoman Ginger Delgado said in a statement. “The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle and crashed a short distance away.”

Later identified as David Samuel Lechner, 45, he was taken into custody and transported to the hospital for “superficial injuries.”

Investigators said neighbors were unsuccessful in trying to stop Lechner from fleeing the scene after the shooting.

Lechner is being held without bond in the Arapahoe County jail and faces charges of first degree murder, aggravated assault and domestic violence.

Teen’s Make-A-Wish soars from Buckley Space Force Base

Fewget the opportunity to see up-close and personal an F-16 Fighter jet, but with the help of Make-A-Wish and Buckley Space Force Base, that rare chance came to fruition for one lucky teenager.

Jeremiah “J.P.” Price, who has a muscular disorder, was granted his wish to have a Top Gun experience for a day.

The day began with the 17-year-old receiving his own fighter jet suit. The thrills got even bigger from there.

During the front row experience with the F-16, he got to watch it take off from the base, which is a rare occurrence for anyone outside of the Space Force world. This was the first time Buckley Space Force Base has granted a Make-A-Wish request, officials said.

“This means a lot, because not everyone gets to experience this,” J.P. said. “They’ll never know how much it means to me.”

Sophomore Sienna Betts — Colorado’s Gatorade Player of the Year and winner of every major award possible in the state — leads the way on the 2022-23 SentinelColoradoAll-Aurora Girls Basketball Team, which is picked by the Sentinel in conjunction with balloting of city coaches.

both All-Continental League first team selections.

Coach Jordan Kasemodel’s Raiders had an outstanding season in which it was the only team to beat Monarch until Grandview did it in the championship game, defeated semifinalist Arapahoe, split with Cherokee Trail (winning a Sweet 16 matchup) and losing to the top two seeds in the 6A state tournament (No. 1 Valor Christian and No. 2 Cherry Creek) by seven and two points, respectively.

Belibi had the second-highest scoring average among Aurora players at 17.0 points per game (helped by 53 3-pointers), while the all-state second team pick also averaged 8.1 rebounds. Watts, meanwhile, led Regis Jesuit’s prolific outside attack with 55 3-pointers (the most of any city player) and averaged 14.6 points per contest in addition to 4.0 assists, which tied her for third in 6A in the category.

Outside of the 6-foot-3 Betts, coach Josh Ulitzky’s Grandview team was short of the abundant star power it has had in years past, but it was long on character, determination and dedication to the team collective. Not many other programs could return just two players with experience from the previous season and manage to repeat as state champions, especially given how many programs in the state play at a high level.

The presence of Betts made all things possible, however. She went from an All-Centennial League second team performer last season — when her sister Lauren was on the roster as one of several key seniors — to absolute dominance. Betts ranked seventh in the state in scoring average at 21.4 points per game, but she led the state regardless of classificaiton with 16.5 rebounds per contest and easily led 6A in blocked shots (3.8 per game).

But as much as those contributions, it was Betts’ calm demeanor and encouragement of her younger teammates that made them believe.

Regis Jesuit — which had its run stopped in the Great 8 — had one of the top duos in the state in juniors Hana Belibi and Coryn Watts, who were

Cherokee Trail had early season wins over Highlands Ranch and Regis Jesuit, picked up its first win over Grandview since the 2009-10 season with a dramatic victory on the Wolves’ home floor and rose to as high as No. 2 in CHSAANow.com’s 6A coaches poll.

The Cougars had a deeper pool of talent than usual, but junior Damara Allen served as the catalyst. The Cougars’ lone All-Centennial League first team selection averaged 11.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game as one of the spearheads of coach Tammi Traylor-Statewright’s defense that allowed just 41 points per game.

Eaglecrest made it to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2006 and a trio of seniors (Nia McKenzie, Laci Roffle and Anjolene Ramiro) were the backbone for coach Robby Gabrielli’s squad.

McKenzie was the Raptors’ lone All-Centennial League first team selection and she also earned a spot in the Colorado Coaches of Girls’ Sports (CCGS) All-State game after a season in which the Washburn University commit averaged 13.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.7 steals and 2.4 assists per game.

It is not for a lack of talent, however, as programs across the city had dynamic plays that made it exciting to go to the gym every night.

ALL-AURORA BOYS HOOPS

The two teams that got closest to winning a state championship — Class 6A semifinalist Regis Jesuit and Great 8 qualifier Smoky Hill — each have selections to the 2022-23 SentinelColorado All-Aurora Boys Basketball Team, which is selected by the Sentinel in conjuction with balloting of city coaches.

per game, many of them coming on monster dunks or putbacks, while he could also hit jump shots if opponents gave him room.

Fulcher rhymed with finisher this season for Regis Jesuit, which was short on returning experience. Coach Ken Shaw had the luxury of the return of his outstanding point guard, however, who seemed to play better as the moment got bigger.

He had not one, but two game-winning plays in the postseason alone as his buzzer-beating 3-pointer gave the Raiders a win over Highlands Ranch in the Sweet 16 and his three-point play inside the final 10 seconds lifted them over Rock Canyon in the Great 8. For the season, Fulcher — an All-Centennial League first team pick — averaged 16.8 points per game plus 3.6 assists.

D’Aundre Samuels of 6A state champion Denver East ultimately received Colorado’s Gatorade Player of the Year award, but the race was a close one based on the performance of Smoky Hill’s Rickey Mitchell, who finished second in the classification in scoring average at 23.8 points per game.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

An extremely difficult matchup for any defense, Mitchell — an All-Centennial League first team selection — knocked down the second-most 3-pointers of an Aurora player with 59, was an accomplished midrange shooter and used his explosiveness to get the rim often. He also averaged 6 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.6 steals per game to finish in the top 10 in the league in all four categories.

Most importantly, Mitchell was the galvanizing force that helped transform coach Anthony Hardin’s young roster into a contender. The Buffaloes gave state champion Denver East its closest test and came up short after Mitchell fouled out in fourth quarter.

Smoky Hill has plenty to look forward to, especially given what freshman Kai McGrew provided in his first varsity season. In an area that had plenty of talented big men, McGrew stood out as he finished as the Centennial League’s leading rebounder (8.5 per contest) and shot blocker (2.4 per game), while he was the team’s second-leading scorer at 10.6 points

Eaglecrest also challenged Denver East in the Sweet 16 round before an up-and-down season came to an end. The Raptors had one of the area’s most dangerous offensive players in sophomore LaDavian King, who built on the momentum he established at the end of last season.

King, an All-Centennial League first team pick, averaged 17.8 points per game, aided by 47 made 3-pointers, which tied with teammate DeAndre Brown for most in the league behind only Mitchell. King and teammate Peyton Taylor gave coach Jarris Krapcha’s Raptors one of the top backcourts around.

Grandview has a bright future ahead with the arrival of some exciting young talent, but coach Michael Rogers’ program will miss the contributions of UK Onyenwere, who had an outstanding senior season.

Onyenwere, younger brother of former Grandview girls star Michaela Onyenwere, added even more size to the Wolves’ tall lineup, but he added all-around skill as well. On a team that spread its offense out, Onyenwere led the way with an average of 14.6 points per game and scored in a variety of ways. The All-Centennial League first team performer also averaged 7.2 rebounds plus 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals per game. SECOND TEAM: An impressive second unit is heavy on youth as it includes vastly improved sophomore Siraaj Ali of Overland as well as Grandview freshman Gallagher Placide.

TRACK & FIELD Grandview edges Rangeview for Aurora city boys championship

The Grandview boys track team had its top sprinters compete elsewhere, but its distance runners were a big part of a close victory in the Aurora City Championship meet April 1 at Aurora Public Schools Stadium.

The two-time defending Class 5A state champion Wolves had a number of key contributors up in Fort Collins at the Altitude Running Invitational — where they won two relay events — but won four events and dominated the distance competition for a score of 124 points that brought them just in ahead of Rangeview (120) in competition of a field that included all Aurora programs save Regis Jesuit.

Grandview’s depth in the the distance events proved to be huge as it picked up 45.5 points in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters alone. Sophomore Evan Valencia won the 1,600 meters with support from Danek Colson in third, while sophomore Josh Tobin won the 3,200 meters with Colton White (2nd), Colson (3rd) and Ethan Hitz (5th) close behind him. The Wolves also captured the 4x800 meter relay by a wide margin.

Senior Rylen Lippelt gave Grandview (which won the meet for a second straight time) its other event championship when he won the city title in the pole vault for a second straight season. Lippelt bettered his winning height from last season of 12 feet as he cleared 12 feet, 3 inches.

Rangeview finished with a meetbest five event championships with its strength showing in the jumping events. Senior Micah Dobson won both the triple jump and the meet-closing long jump and joined senior teammates Kevin Frazier — who had one of the early highlights of the meet as he won the high jump by clearing 6 feet, 7 inches — and Demetrious Brown (800 meters) and junior Jaheim Alexander (110 meter hurdles) with victories for the Raiders.

A jump of 44 feet, 10 inches, put Dobson in front of Cherokee Trail’s Maleik Jamison (44 feet) atop the leaderboard in the triple jump earlier in the day and he ended it with a long jump of 21 feet, 7 1/2 inches to finish in front of Gateway’s Isaiah Oliver (20-11 1/4). Frazier had a big early highlight for Rangeview in the high jump, where his mark is third-best recorded in Colorado (regardless of classification) so far this season.

In another close race, Vista PEAK edged Overland by 2.5 points for third place. Junior Nathan Hunholz uncorked a throw of 130 feet, 1 inch, to take the discus competition. The Bison got another individual win from freshman Isaiah Watson in the 400 meters and from the 4x200 meter really team of Watson, Leyton Youmans, D’Quan McClennon and Dhanavan Rashad.

The Trailblazers earned 101 points with help from an individual title from sophomore Jarrius Ward in the shot put as well as the 4x100 meter relay

team of Ward, Alexander Owuso Jr., Curtis Bunton IV and Komari Owens, who beat the Bison at the finish line. Ward captured the shot put title with a throw of 46 feet, 11 inches, and was the discus runner-up.

Besides Dobson, the only other multiple-event individual winner was Smoky Hill’s Richjarion Hines, who topped the field in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes. He also anchored the Buffs’ 4x400 meter really team, which closed the meet with a win.

Donovan Sanders took the 300 meter hurdles for Cherokee Trail, which had the majority of its top athletes at the Altitude Running Invitational in Fort Collins.

TRACK & FIELD

Hancock, Powe pace Cherokee Trail to Aurora girls championship

Even not at full strength, the Cherokee Trail girls track team put on a show April 1 at Aurora Public Schools Stadium on its way to winning the Aurora City Championship meet.

Some of the Cougars — including defending state spring champion Symone Adams and others — were in Fort Collins at the Altitude Running Invitational, but those that competed

in the annual city meet racked up 162 points for a more than 40-point victory over runner-up Rangeview.

Under sunny skies and temperatures in the 60s for much of the day, junior Sanaai Hancock and sophomore Kaeli Powe combined to win five events as Cherokee Trail captured the meet championship for the second straight season.

Runner-up Rangeview won two events and third-place Grandview — which also competed with a split squad — had five event victories as the highest scoring teams in a field that included representation for every Aurora school save Regis Jesuit, which competed at Niwot.

With Vista PEAK senior hurdle star Kendall McCoy — the fastest 100 meter hurdler in the state thus far, regardless of classification — at the meet, but competing in sprinting events instead, Hancock took home the titles of both the 100 meter hurdles (in a time of 15.14 seconds) as well as the 300 hurdles (in 47.52 seconds). She also defeated McCoy head-to-head in the 100 meter dash by just 0.01 of a second.

Powe established the best long jump in the state regardless of classification at the Rangeview Raider Invitational on March 17 (19 feet, 1/2 inch) at the same venue and she won the

event with a top effort of 18-3/4, which put her in first place by more than two feet. She also eased to the triple jump title — leading a sweep of the top three spots for the Cougars with junior Damara Allen second and sophomore Ryen Galloway third — with a jump of 37-5 1/2. For good measure, Powe finished second behind Hancock in the 100 hurdles.

Rangeview’s event victories came from senior Avani Houston in the 400 meter dash, while senior Zane Bullock anchored the Raiders’ 4x200 meter relay team to a win by 0.48 of a second over Vista PEAK.

As it did on the boys side, Grandview showed off its strength in the distance events. The Wolves got a commanding win in the 3,200 meters from senior Grace Kirkpatrick, plus another in the 1,600 from junior Julia Pace and the crown in the 4x800 meter relay.

In field events, the Wolves also had winners in the high jump in senior Dallis Robinson as well as the pole vault from junior Jenna Smith.

The only other individual besides Hancock and Powe to win multiple events was Hinkley senior Leilah Swanson, who swept the throwing titles.

‘WHEN’ NOT ‘IF’

Students, community balk at the frequency of gun violence and the lack of urgency to end it

BY CARINA JULIG, Sentinel Colorado Staff Writer

On April 3, hundreds of Denver Public Schools parents gathered for a press conference on public safety following the shooting last month at East High School that wounded two administrators and led to the shooter, a 17-year-old student, taking his own life.

The incident has sparked a fresh round of concern about gun violence, and particularly school safety, in a region that has seen more than its fair share of firearm deaths. The violence goes beyond schools, however — the shooting death of 13-year-old Phoenix Day outside the Town Center of Aurora on March 25 is a reminder that youth violence continues to be an urgent problem across the metro area.

In the wake of these incidents, Aurorans have come together in recent weeks to mourn and to talk about what needs to be different.

The Colorado Legislature has not been idle in the meantime, either. Two of a slate of four gun safety bills going through the legislative process are on their way to Gov. Polis’ desk to be signed into law, and another bill cracking down on ghost guns is expected to be introduced this week.

Sen. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora, one of the new bill’s sponsors and a longtime advocate against gun violence, wrote in a letter to the Sentinel that fighting against gun violence is everyone’s responsibility.

“There is no single solution that is going to eliminate gun violence,” she said. “It’s going to take all of us working together at every level to make real progress on this issue.”

A vigil for Phoenix Day

On Feb. 10, Phoenix Day celebrated his thirteenth birthday. Last Friday night, fewer than two months later, his loved ones gathered to mourn his untimely death.

In a city that has seen more than its share of gun violence, the death of someone so young has prompted a fresh round of shock and grief. Day was shot and killed the evening of March 25 in the parking lot outside the Town Center of Aurora mall, just across the street from the site of the Aurora theater shooting 11 years ago.

Several dozen people gathered Friday evening at Bicentennial Park for a candlelight vigil in his honor, hunching their shoulders against the gusts of wind that threatened to extinguish their candles.

Organizer Shawn Vaughn-Reed distributed ribbons with Day’s photo attached to them as people in the crowd hugged each other and cried.

It’s just tragic,” she said of Day’s death. “There’s really no words.”

Vaughn-Reed grew up with Day’s stepfather, Bruce Navarro, and has known his mother, Tabatha Denney, for almost as long.

Little has been released about what led to Day’s killing. According to police, an altercation began in the food court inside the mall near closing time, which culminated in Day being shot in the parking lot outside Dillard’s. At press time, no arrests had been made.

Interim Police Chief Art Acevedo, who attended the vigil with a group of officers, said that he could not share any information because the investigation is ongoing.

“We are following up on tips and encourage anyone with information to come forward,” APD spokesperson Syndey Edwards said in a statement. “Someone knows something, and while APD unravels this case, it’s up to those involved

and those that witnessed this situation to come forward and help bring justice to our community and the family of the victim.”

Tyler Peace came to the vigil with a friend, both holding electronic tealight candles. Peace just happened to be in the parking lot at the time of the shooting and provided CPR to Day at the scene before first responders arrived. She came to the vigil to pay her respects to his family.

“I was there through it all,” she said.

It was too fresh for her to be able to go into detail about what she saw, she said, but she never expected to experience anything like that.

Navarro thanked people for attending the vigil. Phoenix was a good kid who touched a lot of people’s lives, he said.

He wanted the young people present to know that violence isn’t the answer.

“This isn’t supposed to happen,” he said, fighting back tears. “This doesn’t have to keep happening.”

In an interview with KDVR, Denney said that her son had a big heart and a big spirit.

“It’s really hard for me not to be mad right now. This whole situation hurts my heart,” she told the station.

A GoFundMe fundraiser established on behalf of Day’s family has raised close to $10,000 of a $12,000 goal as of Friday evening.

Marlin and Charlotte Bender, pastors at Radiance Church in Commerce City, briefly addressed the crowd and gave a prayer. The two knew some of Day’s relatives and had been asked to come speak.

“Phoenix’s life mattered,” Charlotte Bender said. “It mattered to God, it mattered to his family, and in one act of violence that life was snuffed away.”

The church has suffered through the deaths of a number of its young people over the past 18 months, Charlotte Bender said, including a car crash involving several members of its youth group. She said her heart aches any time she hears about another shooting.

“And when they’re this young, it’s horrible.”

There’s a distinct kind of grief that comes with losing a son or daughter, said Marlin Bender, who described Day’s death as “crazy and senseless.”

“I’ve been to a lot of things like this but it never gets any easier,” he said.

After the prayer, people gathered to release balloons, and Vaughn-Reed gave Day’s family a canvas portrait collage of photos of him.

Vaughn-Reed said that she hopes his parents will be able to find some measure of peace, and that a suspect in his murder will be named soon.

“These kids are just dying way too young and it’s all for naught,” she said.

She wanted to hold the vigil because her own stepson died in 2021 at age 16, and they held a vigil that was very moving for her and her husband.

“It was a little bit of light at a really dark time,” she said. “I was just hoping to give them a little piece of that tonight.”

A community under pressure

Three days before the vigil, a group of adults and young people gathered at Aurora Mental Health and Recovery offices for a community discussion held by the nonprofit and the Aurora NAACP.

Several community leaders had been invited for a panel discussion, but for most of the night the moderator gave the spotlight to the young people in the room, asking them to share their experiences.

A number of students at local schools expressed their consternation with the prevalence of school shootings, lockdowns and other disruptive incidents. Some felt like it was “more of a when than an if” something happened to them. Others said they were upset that at the news of another school shooting, their first reaction was not shock but resignation.

“It’s not even surprising anymore,” said one boy in the audience.

Salomae Jenkins, a student at Prairie View High School in Henderson, described a recent lockdown at her school that she said was chaotic and stress inducing. She asked the adults in the room “to work a little bit harder” to make sure their children don’t have access to guns. She also said adults need to listen to young people when they say they are concerned.

“When we do decide to tell you things, please take us seriously,” she said. “Because there have been countless times that I know people have gone to the counselors or gone to the principal and they kind of just brush it off and say ‘oh, it’s not that serious.’”

Aurora’s Police Department reported nine murders and 126 aggravated assaults where the offender or known suspect was a juvenile in 2022. Violent crime believed to be committed by youths climbed 21% between 2021 and 2022,

compared to an overall increase of about 14%. Recidivism among juveniles have dropped across Colorado, meanwhile, with the state reporting a one-year recidivism rate of 22.1% for juveniles discharged during the 2019-2020 fiscal year — the lowest figure since 2010 and less than the previous year’s rate of 30.6%. The three-year recidivism rate for those discharged in the 20172018 fiscal year was 59.4%.

Aurora NAACP youth co-advisor Danielle Young-Kombo spoke about growing up in Los Angeles during the 1990s and said she had become used to violence in her community as a child, but she remembered being shocked when the Columbine shooting happened because Littleton seemed like such an affluent, suburban community.

“I was so surprised they were experiencing that kind of gun violence. And then fast-forward to today, it’s like an everyday occurance,” she said.

The adults in the room reacted with sadness to many of the things the students brought up.

Aurora Police Department Officer Matthew Alcorta said he was a high school student during Columbine, and that he’s dismayed by how prevalent school shootings have become since then.

“It blows my mind that our children as a society are having to do active-shooter drills,” he said.

He asked students a question about a recent survey saying that one in four Colorado teens have easy access to a firearm. Several said they did not personally have access to a firearm but had seen other students brag about having access to weapons on social media.

“I feel as though an apology is necessary to the youth that are in the room,” said panelist Mordecai Brownlee, president of the Community College of Aurora. “And I want to say I’m sorry on behalf of society, for the lack of intentionality that we have shown” in addressing this issue.

“I believe that our youth are going to change things, I do, but we’ve got to figure out how to keep them alive so they can,” he said.

Longing for safety at school

After the East High School shooting, the DPS school board decided to suspend its 2020 decision removing police from all district schools. When students came back from spring break on Wednesday, 14 officers were stationed at 13 of the district’s high schools for the remainder of the school year while the district discussed how to move forward.

The decision was controversial, partly because of a lack of clarity of what options were discussed in the closed-session meeting. Some community members have said more security is needed, while others raise concerns that having SROs back in schools will be detrimental to students of color.

Both Aurora Public Schools and the Cherry Creek School District have SROs, which come mainly from the Aurora Police Department as well as the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, which serves a handful of CCSD schools.

The departments both described their SROs as having a preventative effect on school violence and said that they were not there to have an antagonistic relationship with the students. Officers in both departments must receive specific training to work in schools.

“We are so supportive of our SROs,” said APD spokesperson Sydney Edwards.

Questions also remain about the safety plan of the shooter, who was under an agreement to be searched for weapons at the start of each school day because of a previous history with firearms.

It’s unclear how common that arrangement is. APS declined to state if any district students have safety plans requiring students to be patted down, while CCSD said it did not have any.

Franci Crepeau-Hobson, a professor in the University of Colorado Denver’s school of education who’s research focuses on school violence and youth suicide prevention, said the arrangement is not common but also not unheard of.

“It shouldn’t be all the school is doing,” she said.

Ideally, schools should work to figure out the reason why a student exhibited threatening or concerning behavior and tailor their response, especially when it involves a weapon. Is the student suicidal? Is the student carrying a weapon because they are afraid of other students? Each of those situations would require different interventions, she said.

Safety plans are a standard procedure that schools use to help address threatening or concerning behavior from students, and depending on what they are for can include disciplinary action, mental health resources, modified school schedules and other resources, Crepeau-Hobson said. How effective they are exactly can be diffi-

cult to track.

“That’s the million-dollar question, right? Because prevention is a really difficult thing to prove,” she said. But in terms of tracking subsequent behavioral infractions, “for most kids we do tend to see a decrease in these problematic behaviors.”

“For the most part yeah, they’re effective, because these kinds of incidents are still relatively rare—I know it doesn’t feel like it right now,” she said.

In some instances it might be appropriate to remove a student from school and transition them to online learning or an alternative school — like some have suggested DPS should have done for the East High School shooter — but it can be a dilemma.

“Under federal law schools have to provide a free and appropriate education for every kid and yet they also have to keep everybody safe,” she said. “And that can be really tricky.”

Physical safety interventions like SROs and metal detectors can be appropriate in some situations, but making sure students feel emotionally safe at school is also a necessary part of curbing school violence, she said.

Having high but realistic academic standards, consistent and fair discipline and making sure that every student in the school has an adult they trust and feel like they can talk and having a safe way that students can bring up concerns about their peers to all go a long way, she said.

“The big thing is yes, we need physical safety measures but we miss the boat if we don’t also attend to psychological safety,” she said.

Each plant-profile screen also includes links to recommended products sold by Park Seed, which owns the app. The premium upgrade ($4.99/month or $46.99/ year) provides real-time answers to your questions from an AI “Growbot,” a personalized planting calendar and more. Find it in the Apple App Store, on Google Play and at app.seedtospoon.net. Free, with an optional paid premium upgrade.

PictureThis

Snap a photo, and the app will ID your plant and provide a plethora of information about it. You’ll instantly see its health assessment, scientific classification, worldwide distribution, common uses, harvesting time (if applicable), propagation methods, and sunlight, soil, water and fertilizer requirements. You’ll also get answers to frequently asked questions about the plant, and can seamlessly share your photo and plant description with friends via text.

After exhausting an initial allotment of free IDs, you’ll be prompted to watch ads or share the app to earn more unless you upgrade to the premium version ($29.99/year). Concerned about an ailing plant? Take a

picture, and the free version will tell you what’s wrong. You’ll need premium to see recommended treatments. The upgrade also provides comprehensive plant-care guides, 24/7 access to a team of botanists and unlimited plant IDs. Find it in the Apple App Store and on Google Play. Free, with an optional paid premium upgrade.

Denver Pop Up Plant Sale at Stanley Marketplace

April 15 and 16 from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. 2501 Dallas St. Aurora, CO 80010. Visit stanleymarketplace. com/stanley-events/ for more information.

Alright green and brown thumbs, this one is for you. We’ve found an opportunity for you to get a new plant to either flourish or sadly drown.

Whatever the case may be, you’ll be provided an opportunity to be seen at Stanley buying plants. And isn’t that the most crucial part in all of this?

Hundreds of plants will be available for purchase throughout the entirety of the event.

And don’t get confused by the name. There’s no Stanley in Denver. The tried and true Aurora is still the only home of the marketplace. See you there!

Calling all collectors of comics, gaming and sports cards, local art, anime and everything else that is related to the aforementioned. 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.

A History of Lowry Air Force Base at the Aurora Museum

March 14 through July 9 during normal museum hours. 15051 E. Alameda Pkwy. Aurora, CO 80014. Visit www.AuroraMuseum.org for more information.

This could be an exciting one, provided you care about Aurora’s history. Hopefully that’s the case, and if not we strongly encourage you to learn a bit more about the city in which you reside, such as this chestnut — Eisenhower considered Lowry Air Force base to be his summer White House from 1953 through 1955, increasing the base’s prestige to an executive level, if you will. That one’s on us.

Lowry Air Force Base played pivotal roles for the growth of Aurora and the surrounding areas, as well as playing a vital role in the country’s defense providing logistics, training and intelligence support.

The exhibit will feature photographs, documents and an extensive timeline displaying the chronology of the airfield turned Air Force Base and how it brought jobs, homes and people to the then burgeoning community we know today.

We love our dogs. It’s actually a prerequisite to live here — it’s a little known fact about CO residency. It’s no secret, however, that they do cost money. Food, treats, toys and most importantly keeping up with their health so they are with us as long as possible.

Fortunately Pet Care Coalition, in partnership with RezDawg Rescue, is offering a low cost vaccination clinic, April 8.

This drive through clinic will be giving free DAPP vaccines, $15 rabies and Bordatella shots. Plus you can get your pupper microchipped for $20.

This is a cash only affair and it is requested that you bring any previous vaccine information you may have.

No animal will be turned away due to any cost prohibitive circumstances pet owners may have.

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

Modern Swing Mondays at Stampede

Every Monday at 6:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. 2430 S Havana St, Aurora, CO 80014. Visit www.stampedeclub.net/tm-event/ modern-swing-mondays/ for more information.

Fancy yourself a dancer, do you? Yes? No? Either way, Modern Swing Mondays at Stampede is a great opportunity to cut a rug, or even just learn the skills necessary for aforementioned rug cutting should you not yet possess the required skill set. You read that right, you can pop in to Stampede every Monday, grab a swing lesson at 6:30 p.m. and then showcase your newly-learned moves the same night during Open Dance which begins at 7:30 p.m.. This seems like a truly perfect date night as well, so definitely keep it in mind when trying to woo your significant other(s). Admission is $10.

April 8 at 11:00 a.m. 2501 Dallas St. Aurora, CO 80010. Visit stanleymarketplace.com/events/easteregg-hunt/ for more information.

Here comes Peter CottonTail… Wait, that’s a different rabbit. Little Bunny Foo Foo then? Nope. It’s the Easter Bunny, hooray. Nailed it. And he’s littering eggs all over the Field at Stanley for the eager youths to fill their baskets.

The fun won’t stop there. After all the eggs are found, your eager little scavenger can meet in the common area to have their photo taken with the Easter Bunny or his counterpart, the Carrot. This jerk would consider the carrot more the Easter Bunny’s meal than counterpart — but Stanley’s gonna Stanley. Goodies will also be available for the simple currency of a hug or, better yet, a high-five!
