SWEEP SUCCESS?

1 year later, Aurora still divided on impacts of homeless camping ban

Impact fees, property taxes, TABOR and other invasive weeds are back

A

I was accommodating my wife, Melody, last week on a warm day with my annual spring show of pretending to do yard work. It involves donning uncomfortable gloves, collecting splintery-handled tools, a lot of loud sighing and strategic hand-on-hips poses as I lament the chaos that is our yard.

Eventually, after a long segment of narrating the damage of the winter to just about everything, the iced coffees are taken away and I’m left to crawl around on my hands and knees and actually pull the weeds.

DAVE PERRY

It’s always the same weeds. Rarely is there anything new or interesting or easily confused with something we’d want in the yard.

Just thistle, wild lettuce, dandelions, creeping this, noxious that and invasive everything.

Damn weeds. Journalism is a lot like that.

This week, city lawmakers and deep-thinkers inside Aurora’s fancy city hall had a brainstorm about “impact fees.”

That’s a word only real professionals like journalists, city lawmakers, developers and city administrators bandy about. Don’t actually try it at home. It’s a lofty word for taxes, levied against building something new in Aurora.

Years ago, and years before that, city leaders realized that if you build a big housing development out on the plains, it costs a fortune to pump water out there, drain sewage back, police the streets, and that was after spending a boatload of dollars just to build the streets.

So city types, not just here, but everywhere, invented “impact fees.” If you want to build

We’ve got a new spot and an old mission: giving loyal Sentinelreaders and minions the real news they want, dread and crave.

With government wags certifying that the pandemic has faded into non-emergency status, Quid believes it’s now safe to come out of hibernation and start mingling. Back with an earful, allow us to offer you this week’s fresh eye rolls:

QUID HAS HEARD that a new phrase has been coined in honor of Aurora’s very own city council: civility disobedience. That’s what happens when a group or organization despises each other so much and is so determined to squabble that they will bicker even during efforts to stop the sparring. Seems that council nabobs attending the April 29 Saturday marathon council retreat were asked to participate in a “make nice” team building exercise created to bring some semblance of civility to a group that excels at regularly slandering each other.”How long is this going to take?” Councilperson Danielle Jurinsky, the panel’s top disparager, huffed as Councilperson Curtis Gardner cajoled the group into trying to tolerate each other for a short while. It took little time, Quid has been told, for Jurinsky to bolt from the effort, “I have real work to do,” along with Mayor Mike Coffman, sources tell your faithful hack. While Jurinsky’s lament went out of earshot, the rest of the city’s finest, sans two, could hear Coffman loudly grunting out push-ups near-

Of course, in reality, anyone buying a home in Limonish Aurora paid those fees. The rationalization is, “let growth pay for itself.”

I blame a lot of gray hair on having to listen to these arguments that go back and forth for decades.

The argument against impact fees is that cities that don’t charge them often win the development, warehouse, or big fancy hotel. Cities know this, so it becomes an expected part of negotiating with some businesses or developments, but not others.

Damn weeds.

As you might expect, snuggling up to important city lawmakers, or donating mightily to their campaigns, doesn’t hurt your chances of turning a few thousand dollars in campaign checks into millions of dollars saved in impact fees.

It’s just the cost of doing business for everyone. Think of it as the Weed and Feed of the development world.

been brought under control by heavy use of Pandemic and Surging Growth Roundup, it sprang up again at a recent city council session.

New faces pointed out to other new faces that, hey, we make growth in housing developments “pay their own way,” but not businesses.

Lawmakers almost unanimously agreed what an inequity and lost opportunity for big bucks it is to not charge new retailers for traffic signals and warehouse centers out in the middle of nowhere for more police cars that will probably rarely if ever drive out that way.

Amid the deep and comprehensive discussion was the lost nugget that businesses already pay far, far more in property and “use” taxes that residents pay. It’s like fivetimes as much on buildings worth a lot more than a house.

Damn weeds.

That same deep-rooted sucker popped up at the Legislature last week as Democrats tried to legislate away a giant looming property tax increase that creeped across the state. That toxic spurge sprung up in a large part because the same legislators persuaded voters a few years ago to yank out the Gallagher Amendment from the state Constitution, which for decades has made businesses pay way more for property taxes than homeowners — and would you look at that TABOR tax thistle right there in the middle of the Great Lawn of City Hall again?

Just when you thought our government leaders had all this under control, the public has to get out there and see what’s springing up at city hall and the Capitol and whether it’s worth watering or just another invasive thing to fret about from now on.

Damn weeds.

QUIDNUNC

AND QUID HAS HEARD that the days of yore when Aurora’s mayor practically picked fist fights with hizzoner of Denver are long gone. Bad blood between former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb and then Aurora Mayor Paul Tauer was a source of endless headlines for years. Rest assured, Tauer did not lament the end of Webb’s role as mayor, and Webb never sent roses when Tauer ran out of years to bang the local gavel. That was then. Now, Mayor Mike Coffman honored hizzoner of Denver Michael Hancock, as he prepares to hand over the keys to that city next month. “Whereas Mayor Hancock collaborated with the city of Aurora and fellow metro area elected officials on many issues of shared importance, including public safety, homelessness and housing, equity and economic development,” Coffman proclaimed Monday night. Quid is eager to meet the Mayor Hancock Coffman honored, having only ob-

served what must have been the evil twin all these years. It was apparently that Mayor Hancock who pushed to pour billions of state highway money into an elevated I-70 debacle that turned every other town’s highway dollars into Denver’s elevated soccer park. It was clearly the other Hancock who violated the already violated DIA deal by arranging the surrounding Aerotropolis plan to widely benefit Denver and not the surrounding counties and cities who were guaranteed the trickle-down airport goodies. It was the other Hancock who stood behind efforts to harass that city’s homeless campers and send them scattering to Aurora and other nearby suburbs. It was the other Hancock who sneaked off to Texas for some fun time, snubbing a bevy rules, while the good Hancock stayed behind to “strongly” lead Denverites with “hope and determination.” And your faithful affiant is unclear which Mayor Hancock shrunk away from Aurora’s battle when Colorado Springs tycoon Phil Anschutz and others sued Aurora to try and prevent them from winning the Gaylord of the Rockies pact. Denver Mayor Regionalism became a pawn of Downtown Denver hoteliers’ effort to squelch the Gaylord deal. Apparently, recent Aurora politicos have short or ill-equipped memories. Rest assured, most of city hall and yours truly do not.

Only real immigration reform can end the crisis

The crisis unfolding again at the country’s southern border isn’t the result of the latest failed legislative efforts to address immigration, it’s the consequence of ignoring it.

Starting this week, the nation ends so-called Title 42, a vapid ploy to turn back immigrants using the pandemic as a ruse.

The federal executive order instructed customs officials to oust undocumented immigrants, including those seeking asylum, from the United States. The excuse was that immigrant holding facilities were ill-equipped to handle anti-COVID protocols.

Even after Trump was removed from office by voters in 2020, the Biden administration continued the scheme.

The Biden White House has had more than two years to prepare for Title 42 ending and has done little to deal with the expected onslaught of immigrants desperate to get into the United States.

Immigration policy stands out as one of the nation’s most catastrophic and humiliating failures by Republicans and Democrats alike.

Already useless immigration policy fermented by the Obama Administration was weaponized during the Trump presidential campaign and his dismal term in office.

Vastly expensive and wasteful remnants of his notorious “great wall” along segments of the southern border stand as testament to Trump’s insidious exploitation of some Americans’ fear or disdain for immigrants, and especially immigrants who are people of color.

Republicans and Democrats must end the cruelty, the inhumanity and the vast lost opportunities for immigrants and the nation alike. They must work together to finally solve this problem, of which illegal immigration is but a symptom: jobs.

Endless U.S. industries and businesses depend on the cheap labor that illegal immigrants provide. Until that issue is addressed, nothing will change.

For decades, the problem of illegal immigration has been primarily about jobs, and Trump and his acolytes have worked hard to distract from that. Despite all the heated rhetoric and emotional arguments targeting both sides of this thorny issue, there is a growing cadre of inconvenient facts we’ve highlighted repeatedly:

• There are an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States, and their stories and circumstances are astoundingly varied. Officials estimate greater Aurora is home to about 130,000 illegal immigrants.

• Many of these immigrants are settled and integrated into our communities. They have jobs. They own cars and homes. They make more than $60 billion a year from U.S. businesses. They have children in schools. They spend vast sums of money in the community.

• They are our friends, neighbors and a daily part of our lives, distinguishable from the 40 million Americans not born in the United States only by their lack of documentation.

• Business groups and more than a few industries haven’t been shy in making it clear that these immigrants are critical to their operations. Many metro businesses can’t currently find adequate numbers of employees, even with illegal immigrants backfilling the workforce. Removing these people from the workforce would be disastrous to the U.S. economy.

• Deporting illegal immigrants is far from a simple matter. Many families consist of citizens and non-citizens, many with varying degrees of legality. Tearing apart families will only lead to tragedy and increased government expense.

• The cost of rounding up, collecting from holding cells, housing, processing and deporting millions of immigrants would be astronomical. Even proponents admit that.

The answer isn’t knee-jerk racism, disinformation or a wall, it’s employment.

The nation needs a vastly changed immigration system that offers worker permits. It must include heavy penalties for businesses that employee undocumented workers. It must be a system that allows immigrants to work here legally without having to be citizens. It must be a program that allows for accomplishing citizenship for those who play by rules.

The only answer is comprehensive immigration reform that continues America’s lauded policy of open arms, transparency and accountability.

We need good government to take the place of abhorrent politicians.

Way to go, Mom

She was only 18 when rheumatic fever damaged her heart.

The doctors said she’d be lucky to live into her 40s — that she was no longer strong enough to bear children.

Lucky for my five sisters and me, she ignored them!

When we were babies in her womb she never took so much as an aspirin for a headache. She never put anything into her body but the nutrients that would help us flourish.

As a child, my world was rock solid because of her. Her devotion filled me with an incredible sense of security that is with me still.

She loved us without condition. I was so unaware of the fear and pain less fortunate children suffer that I wouldn’t know for years that such concepts existed.

She was extraordinarily moral. I still can’t tell a fib, thanks to her, and I even blush when I’m innocent and people think I’m fibbing.

The only thing she hated more than dishonesty was phoniness. She made sure we were, above all, authentic — a task made easier for us because our father was one of the most authentic men on the planet.

She prized graciousness and friendliness. She taught us to treat everyone the way we wanted to be treated.

She is still full of incredible compassion and understanding. The phone still rings constantly at her apartment, people calling for consolation, reassurance or just to be cheered up on a down day.

She taught us to enjoy the little things. The smell of a flower could send her into fits. The silliness of a child could make her laugh for days.

Laughter was one of her most important lessons. We laughed constantly growing up, and I was drawn to friends who all have an incredible sense of humor. Nobody makes me laugh harder than my family and my friends.

Yet the laughter is not so common now that she lost her husband of 66 years last August.

That big authentic man left a massive void that can never be filled. My mother struggles with this loss every moment of every day — struggles to be cheerful, happy and hopeful, her natural state for all the years I have known her.

When others look at my mother and father, they

probably see good, ordinary people who were blessed with a nice family, a long marriage and good health for most of their lives.

When I examine my mother’s and father’s lives and marriage, I see two ordinary people who have lived extraordinary lives.

They lived extraordinarily right. They were the good citizens, good neighbors and decent, generous, hardworking people who are the heart of all great civilizations.

Their legacy is the six children, 17 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren — the most recent, Mia, joining us just a few weeks ago — who are all good citizens, or will be, and who are all out in the world doing good deeds.

I know my mother will be reunited with my father in time, but I pray that in the here and now she may enjoy easily again the sweet smell of flowers and laugh out loud at the silliness of a child.

It is all I wish for this extraordinary human being who I am incredibly blessed to have as my mother. Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!

Giles at the helm

THE NEWLY APPOINTED SUPERINTENDENT FOR AURORA PUBLIC SCHOOLS EXPLAINS HOW HE GOT HERE AND OFFERS A LOOK AT NAVIGATING THE FUTURE

BY CARINA JULIG, Sentinel Colorado Staff Writer

lidified his second one.

Michael Giles’ first career choice so-

After college, he started working as a counselor in juvenile corrections facilities. He was drawn to helping underserved and at-risk kids, but he felt frustrated that he was only reaching them after their lives had been so dramatically derailed. He decided to move into public education, where he felt like he could help prevent student problems instead of work later to resolve them.

Decades later, Giles has now been named as superintendent of Aurora Public Schools, a place where he will have ample opportunity to serve students who need support. Nearly 75% of the district’s 38,000 students qualify for free and reduced lunch, a marker of poverty, and over 40% speak English as a second language. Meeting the needs of such a diverse student body was identified as one of the district’s top priorities when searching for a new leader.

“I believe education is the equalizer; it’s the key to success,” Giles said in an interview with the Sentinel about what drew him to the field.

Giles was tabbed the school district’s sole superintendent candidate finalist April 27 by a unanimous board vote.

Giles has spent his entire educational career in the neighboring Cherry Creek School District, starting at the school level in 2002 and joining the district cabinet in 2018. He said he plans to draw on many of the things he’s learned over his time in the district, but he won’t be attempting to make the two districts

try to look the same.

“I don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to make APS Cherry Creek,” he said.

But there are some ways he’d like the district to more resemble its neighbor. During candidate interviews with the board in April, Giles said he wants APS to be the “destination district” for families in Aurora, a position he acknowledged that Cherry Creek currently serves for the region.

“Right now we have a lot of people who are moving to Aurora but when they move to Aurora they’re choosing to come to Cherry Creek as opposed to APS,” Giles said. “I don’t want that to be the case.”

He believes that strengthening the district’s partnerships with the many organizations and companies in the city — CU Anschutz, Buckley Space Force Base, DIA, Amazon, etc. — to give students more opportunities to explore different career paths is one way that APS could stand out. He also spoke about the importance of highlighting the good work already going on in the district, something APS has attempted to be more intentional about in recent years.

Giles also said there are more opportunities for the two districts to work collaboratively, something he said he and Cherry Creek Superintendent Chris Smith have spoken about at length. He highlighted CCSD’s summer leadership academy, a program created last summer to help address youth violence, as something that could potentially be expanded to APS.

“We’re serving the same community, so it would behoove us to partner more collaboratively,” he said.

Giles was up front about the challenges facing APS, including lagging academic performance that

took a hit during the pandemic. He was hesitant to go into detail about his plans to improve academics, saying his first responsibility when coming on board will be to understand the work that’s currently being done and how curriculum is being taught at the classroom level.

“Once I understand what is going on, then I’m equipped to make some decisions,” he said.

Giles has talked repeatedly about the importance of recruiting and retaining teachers and staff, noting that if teachers feel supported and valued, they will become the district’s best recruiters.

Something that came up in CCSD’s ongoing work to diversify its staff was finding out that many teachers of color didn’t see a pathway to grow in their roles, he said. Mapping out different ways that educators can grow, either as a teacher or progressing into administration, is something he said is critical.

Along with academics, Giles said that his first priorities will include creating opportunities for the community to get to know him and looking into the district’s safety measures, a significant topic of community concern during the selection process, which took place shortly after several shootings outside a Denver high school that sparked renewed concern about youth violence across the metro area.

Giles said he intends to convene a safety task force, something he was involved in the creation of in Cherry Creek several years ago. The task force will invite administrative and building-level employees, teachers, students, parents and community members including police and mental health providers to

including police and mental health providers to share their perspectives on what is needed. He said CCSD’s task force gave the district valuable insight, and helped it create better parameters for the role of school resource officers.

“What was happening was that in some buildings we were having SROs involved in discipline where it really should have been an administrators’ job,” he said.

Over the past several years, APS has navigated how to manage its finances as the district’s enrollment is decreasing. That has included the implementation of Blueprint APS, a facilities plan that has included closing and repurposing a number of schools over community objections.

Giles said he is familiar with the plan and would like to assess it when he takes office to determine whether it’s still working as intended. Unlike other metro districts, Cherry Creek has so far not had to face the possibility of closing schools, but it’s an issue Giles said he’s prepared to address.

“As superintendent you have to make decisions that are in the best interest of students that we serve and are fiscally responsible,” he said, acknowledging that closing schools is always incredibly difficult for communities.

Overall, he said the district

community needs to make sure that it understands what its priorities are and is budgeting responsibly in alignment. There are several opportunities he’d like to pursue to increase funding, including continuing to lobby at the state level for more overall education funding, exploring potential grants and expanding partnerships at the city level.

During the candidate interview in April, Giles asked board members how he could help restore trust in leadership as superintendent. A survey conducted by the superintendent search firm found that a lack of trust with district leadership and issues with board dysfunction were two of the district’s biggest challenges identified by community members.

Giles said he appreciated that the board acknowledged the findings and hopes that they can have a good working relationship centered on their shared goal to help students.

“The focus on students’ welfare was pretty clear to me, that all of them believe their purpose is to provide opportunities for students,” he said. “I think that can be our grounding place.”

Negotiations for Giles’ contract are ongoing, after which the board will take a vote. His first day as superintendent is slated for July 1.

6 hurt, 2 critically, after AC unit falls into pool at Gaylord Rockies

Large parts of a heating and cooling system fell from the ceiling into a swimming pool at the Gaylord Rockies May 6 injuring six people, two critically, according to Aurora fire and rescue personnel.

“We have provided medical care for six total patients,” fire officials said in a tweet. ”Two of these patients were transported to local hospitals with life-threatening injuries.”

All of those injured were taken to nearby hospitals.

“Our hearts go out to all those who were injured today, to their families and to those traumatized by witnessing what occurred,” Mayor Mike Coffman said in a statement. “We expect a thorough investigation, and our immediate focus is the well-being of those involved, and we thank our first responders for their quick response and care.”

Eight Aurora firefighters were at the hotel for a training exercise when the incident occurred just before 10 a.m.

“This allowed a quick response of highly trained paramedics and EMTs who went right away to the pool to assist patients,” city spokesperson Ryan Luby said in a statement.

Witnesses said the pool was crowded at the time, with as many as 100 people in the pool and the area.

Rescuers had to not only respond to injured people but ensure they weren’t also injured by falling debris, officials said.

“I would like to share that the men and women of this agency train for this type of incident every day,” said Aurora Fire Chief Alec Oughton. “I am proud of their rapid and effective response in caring for our community.”

Firefighters extinguish two-alarm office building fire in southwest Aurora

Firefighters extinguished a twoalarm fire May 4 reported on the second story of a three-story office building in the 2600 block of South Parker Road.

“A fire has been reported in the building and the incident Commander has requested a second alarm response,” Aurora Fire and Rescue officials said in a tweet at about 4:30 p.m. “Please avoid the area of Parker Rd and Yale as we have units incoming to the area.”

Firefighters said the fire was extinguished by about 5 p.m. and there were no reported injuries.

“While the fire is now under control, much of the building is still filled with smoke,” fire officials said in a tweet. “Firefighters continue to search for people and pets throughout the building.”

Smoke affected much of the building, officials said.

“Two office units involved in the

fire and other offices are impacted by water and smoke damage,” according to firefighter officials.

“Firefighters stopped the fire and an entire wing of the building remains unaffected.”

Aurora police investigating fatal minimotorcycle crash

An unidentified man died May 4 after crashing his pocket-bike motorcycle into a car at the intersection of Del Mar Parkway and Havana Street, according to Aurora police.

Officers responded at about 11 p.m. to a report of a vehicle crash in the Del Mar Parkway neighborhood. Investigators determined the pocket-bike motorcycle — about a quarter of the size of a regular motorcycle — was traveling south when it collided with a Subaru Forester that was headed north on Havana and making a left turn, a news release said.

Police spokesman Joe Moylan later said the Subaru is believed to have had the right of way and was turning during a green arrow. The man who was riding the mini-motorcycle was taken to a local hospital and died from his injuries. The female driver of the Subaru remained at the scene of the crash and was said to be cooperating with police.

So-called pocket-bikes and other mini-bikes are not legal on Colorado roadways, according to state officials.

The identity of the man will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office, the news release said. Police reported that the fatal crash was the city’s 19th traffic-related death this year.

AROUND AURORA

Aurora lawmakers consider charging impact fees on new commercial construction

Commercial and industrial development may soon come with a higher price tag in Aurora as lawmakers consider charging so-called impact fees that would help pay for expanded roads across the city.

Right now, builders pay several thousands dollars in impact fees on every newly-built single-family home and unit of new multifamily housing, while non-residential properties are exempt.

Mayor Mike Coffman and city staffers April 29 described impact fees as an approach to making development “pay its own way,” forcing builders to help with the up-front costs of new roads, parks, fire stations and other infrastructure and services needed as more people live and do business in Aurora.

According to Deputy City Manager Laura Perry, since the fees were introduced in 2008, the city

has not charged impact fees on non-residential property.

But consultant Brian Duffany on Saturday told the City Council that the fees are commonly charged on commercial developments in other cities and said the impact on the pace of development would most likely be insignificant.

“I think the city is very wellpoised to continue capturing a very large share of the non-residential market, especially in warehousing and distribution,” Duffany said at the Saturday workshop.

“Development impact fees are very common in a fast-growing environment like this, and so it’s not

like when national developers come to build in Aurora, they’re going to say, ‘Oh my God, watch out for the impact fees.’”

Duffany and Perry shared the results of a study completed by Duffany’s firm, Economic & Planning Systems, which evaluated the impacts of different types of development and how much the city could reasonably assess in fees.

A proposal by Coffman would require developers of non-residential properties to pay transportation impact fees on new construction.

“We’ve always had the philosophy that growth ought to pay its own way,” the mayor said. “I think it’s something that we ought to take a look at.”

Based on the EPS study, the city could charge up to $12.70 per square foot for new retail development, $7.40 per square foot for offices, $3.80 for industrial space, $1.10 for warehouse space, $0.80 for mini-warehouse space and $4,400 per room for hotels.

Under Coffman’s plan, the city would phase in the transportation fees over three years starting Jan. 1, 2024. The proposal would also abolish the “zone” system that currently requires impact fee revenue to be spent in the same general area they were collected, which Perry said keeps the city from investing impact fees in larger projects. The dollar value of fees would also be pegged to inflation.

Council members didn’t oppose the change, agreeing that development creates a demand for city services that developers should help offset.

“I understand that implementing something like this will make development more expensive, but development also brings with it these costs,” Councilmember Curtis Gardner said. “We can live in this fairy world, where we say we’re not going to charge development fees because it keeps the cost of development lower, but we are still creating more needs for our city.”

While Coffman’s plan did not include an adjustment of transportation impact fees for residential development, the study proposed a maximum fee of $5,900 for single-family homes and $4,600 for multifamily housing units. Currently, developers pay $749 per home and $528 per multifamily unit.

Councilmembers Alison Coombs and Juan Marcano both said they would be interested in seeing the residential fees adjusted in a way that encouraged density.

“We don’t want to increase the cost of housing, but we also have to recognize that more costs can come with that,” Marcano said.

Perry said staffers may return later in the year with recommendations for implementation of the non-residential fee.

BARD NONE: Adams County searching for county’s first poet laureate

Scribes, take note: in partnership with Anythink Libraries, Adams County is searching for its inaugural poet laureate.

The county is seeking an experienced poet, performer and artist for a two-year residency, according to a news release from Adams County. An application form is open through May 14, and the position is open to any Colorado resident “with a connection to Adams County,” according to the release.

During the residency, which comes with a $40,000 stipend, the poet laureate will be responsible for creating a public programming series, creating original and commissioned works and hosting public readings.

One of the goals of the residency will be “to document the works by the Poet Laureate and by the people of Adams County into a bound collection,” according to the submission form.

The poet laureate will give readings at public county functions such as ribbon cuttings, Adams County Pride and the Anythink backyard concert series. The public programming series will be a partnership with Anything Libraries, which has seven locations in cities throughout Adams County.

Originally a national and state

function, more cities across the country are adopting poet laureates. Aurora started its own poet laureate program in 2013 and selected its third laureate, Ahja Fox, last summer.

“This program represents an incredible opportunity to connect with our communities in a deep, impactful way, and to advance the literary arts,” Adams County Commissioner Steve O’Dorisio said in the release. “The selected artist will represent and elevate the voices of the residents of Adams County, and we are humbled to play a role in making it happen.”

Applicants must have an established body of work and experience leading workshops on the arts, according to the submission form. Finalists will be invited to present a detailed project proposal, with a selection being made in mid June.

BEYOND AURORA

DOBBS EFFECT: As demand for abortions in Colorado goes up, so do wait times for in-person care

Nearly one year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the number of people traveling to states where abortion is still legal has surged. In Colorado, the volume of out-of-state patients

more than doubled between 2021 and 2022.

Because of the increase in need for services, everyone is having to wait longer for in-person care—including Colorado residents.

Mar Galvez, an Aurora non-binary 23-year-old who works for the Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights (COLOR), could relate.

“I actually found out I was pregnant on the day that Dobbs was announced and Roe was overturned,” said Galvez, then a student living in Boulder. “I realized I was eight weeks pregnant at the time. It felt surreal…It didn’t feel like it was something that I was holding evidence of in my hands.”

When Galvez found out they were pregnant, they knew they wanted an abortion—and they knew who to call.

But they were unable to get an appointment within a few weeks at any of the nearby clinics. Instead, they found an online organization that connected them with a provider over telehealth who could prescribe them mail-order abortion pills.

“It is painful and it is scary, but it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t precisely the decision that I wanted for myself,” Galvez said of their abortion. “The only thing I felt afterwards and during it was a relief that I had access to that care.”

Clinics across the state are experiencing increased demand. Following the Dobbs decision last

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains’ 14 Colorado clinics had wait times of up to 28 days for abortion appointments. More recently, patients can expect to wait around 10 days, still a significantly longer wait than in years past.

“Ten days matters,” Adrienne Mansanares, the president of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains (PPRM) said of the risk in increased wait times.

Abortions pills, the most common abortion option today, are approved only through 10 weeks of pregnancy.

“We’ll have patients who make an appointment for a medication abortion…We get them all ready to go and when they come in, they’re too far along for a medication abortion,” Mansanares said.

Statewide, the majority of out-ofstate patients are coming from Texas after an abortion ban took effect there in 2021. In the past, around 10% of PPRM’s patients in Colorado have come from out-of-state. So far this year, that number has hovered around 40%.

“These numbers are just remarkable,” Mansanares said. “We’ve never seen anything like that before.”

Resources in the state are being stretched thin as providers adjust to the increase in need.

Abortion funds like Cobalt Abortion Fund are being inundated by patients who need help paying for outof-state travel. So far this year, the Colorado non-profit has spent over $126,000 on financial assistance for

individuals seeking abortion care, more than twice what the organization had spent at this time last year.

Clinics are bringing on more staff. Wait times for routine reproductive care like pap smears have increased, too, in some locations.

“We are doing a lot more clinical time,” Dr. Rebecca Cohen, the chief medical officer of Comprehensive Women’s Health Center in Denver, said. “Our nurses, our staff are, you know, are staying late, doing all the things because people need us.”

Cohen said generally, demand is still high, although she is seeing fewer patients seeking abortions early in pregnancy. She thinks many of them are accessing medication abortion care online.

Plus, for those with health insurance, more options have come available in recent months. This past fall the Colorado health care giant Kaiser Permanente announced it was expanding abortion services in response to long wait times at other clinics.

In her clinic, Cohen is now seeing higher volumes of women further along in their pregnancies, with more complications.

“To hear that someone is coming to see us after it’s taken them three months to get money together—we are where we are,” Cohen said with a sigh. “Those are the things that break my heart, is just knowing that if they had felt safe enough to reach out earlier we could have helped more.”

Meanwhile, Colorado lawmakers are working to further secure ac-

cess to abortion services. Gov. Polis recently signed three reproductive health bills into law, including one that shields out-of-state patients and providers from criminal prosecution should they seek or practice abortion services in Colorado.

DISCARDED JOINTS POSE HAZARDS FOR DOGS

Bondi, an 8-month-old toy poodle, had just returned from a walk when he began stumbling. His head wobbled and soon he could barely stand, so his owner, Colleen Briggs, rushed him to the vet.

The good doctor quickly made a diagnosis: Bondi was stoned.

On his walk, a sniff must have led Bondi to a discarded joint, which he ate.

“He was just doing his usual — exploring everything, sniffing everything,” said Briggs, who began to notice the pot shops sprouting up around New York City, the frequent whiffs of marijuana while circling her Manhattan neighborhood and the unfinished joints now littering sidewalks.

“The reason we’re seeing so many cases is that people are using marijuana on the street and then discarding the unwanted ends of their joints,” Attas said. “And that’s a real problem because dogs will eat those.”

In the first three months of the year, she had already seen six cases, which is about the same number she’s treated over the past three decades. Multiply that by the number of vets working in New York City, she said, and the result underscores the widening problem.

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said cases are rising nationwide. Last year, there was an 11% increase from the roughly 6,200 cases reported in 2021, and over the past five years, there has been a 300% increase.

head,” said Scott, 68. Marijuana poisoning was not among them. “I would never had thought that,” she said.

Scott made a video call to Dr. Attas, who said Circe was showing all the signs of being high. She now keeps Circe on a shorter leash, mindful of where she pokes her nose.

“I don’t know if you know pugs — they’re constantly on the lookout for their next morsel,” said Scott, who has owned four other pugs, none of whom ever returned home stoned. “But sometimes it’s pretty tough to control them because they are so fast. They’ll just dart at something.”

Although dogs rarely die from marijuana poisoning, treatment can be expensive, sometimes requiring a trip to the animal emergency room, a stomach pump and intravenous fluids.

Thursday April 6, 2023, in New York. When Bondi recently became sick, a quick diagnosis found he was likely poisoned after nibbling unfinished marijuana joints. Veterinarians are growing alarmed by an apparent rise in marijuana poisonings among dogs that ingest discarded joints and edibles on city sidewalks.

In places like New York City, where the first legal recreational pot dispensary opened last year, users can smoke it in the open. As a result, more dogs are coming across — and eating — discarded joints and edibles, prompting alarm among veterinarians and pet owners who blame the steep rise in poisonings on smokers oblivious to the harm they can do by littering.

Marijuana poisonings, which are almost never fatal, were once rare among pets, even when medical dispensaries started opening, according to Dr. Amy Attas, a New York City veterinarian. Until recently, many occurred at home, when pets got into their owners’ stashes.

“To me, it is unbelievable how prevalent this now is,” said Attas.

Twenty-one states have legalized the recreational use of cannabis, and in large urban areas like New York, there’s no escaping the whiff of pot in public.

In many cases, owners are unaware that their dogs have eaten a leftover joint until they begin showing signs of toxicity. Even then, owners might not understand what is ailing their pets.

Sue Scott was in a panic when her 9-monthold fawn pug, Circe, collapsed after a recent walk. Circe’s paws splayed out on the floor, her head shook to-and-fro and she drooled.

“A million things were running through my

The stress on the patient and its owner is also enormous.

Bondi has been poisoned three times, the first time last fall, said his owner, Briggs.

Even as Briggs grew more vigilant when walking her pup, she acknowledged that she must have gotten distracted when Bondi became sick a second time. That time, she let Bondi ride out his high.

“Walking him ... it’s just a really intense situation. So I’m always looking on the ground, and it’s just everywhere now,” she said of the spent joints that she and Bondi come across on walks.

“One time,” Briggs said, “I caught him and grabbed it out of his mouth.”

AURORA FOX THEATER HITS A HIGH-WATER MARK WITH MUSICAL ADAPTATION OF TREASURE ISLAND

BY CARINA JULIG, Sentinel Colorado Staff Writer

If the advent of summer has you pining for some adventure on the high seas, the Aurora Fox might be able to tide you over in this landlocked state. The final show of the season, Treasure Island: A New Musical, is running for two more weeks.

It’s also going to be the Fox’s last show for a while — the theater announced recently that starting next season it’s shifting its calendar to start in January, though there will be some one-off productions to tide theatergoers over for the remainder of this year. All the more reason not to miss out.

This is the second year in a row the Fox has ended its season with a splashy (no pun intended) family-friendly musical, following last year’s rollicking production of Disney’s Freaky Friday. The production value of Treasure Island isn’t quite as high — the cast is smaller and it doesn’t make the same use of technology as Freaky Friday’s set did. But it still pulls out quite a lot of stops, including turning the stage into a pirate ship for the majority of the performance.

Unless you’ve been living on a deserted island yourself, the plot of the show should be quite familiar. Following the death of his father, young Jim Hawkins is helping his

mother run the family inn when an erstwhile sailor Billy Bones appears as a guest with a mysterious treasure chest. Bones is attacked by a group of other men who are trying to find a map he has pointing to an island where infamous pirate Captain Flint supposedly buried his treasure. Bones dies, and Jim finds the map, which he shows to two of the family’s friends. The pair decide to crew a ship to go in search of the treasure, taking Jim along, with his mother’s grudging approval, as cabin boy. From there, mayhem ensues.

The show is appropriate for all ages, and might be best enjoyed with some young viewers who are less familiar with the story. The plotline hews closely to the original story, so for those who have already spent several decades immersed in various book, movie and stage adaptations of the tale it might not be quite so exciting. But despite the familiarity the cast does a good job bringing both humor and pathos to the plot, which in many ways is a coming of age story about our hero, Jim.

Clearly still hurting from the death of his father, we see Jim yearn for a life of adventure and wrestle with the challenges when it turns out that his nautical journey isn’t going the way he expected. We see him face betrayal from those he thought he could trust and watch him wrestle with how to ethically treat people who have hurt

him and others. The loss of innocence that comes with maturing from a child into an adult is universally relatable, though in most cases it doesn’t happen while being kidnapped by pirates.

Interspersed with the drama there’s also plenty of comic relief, particularly in the form of one character who shows up in the second act. In what must be a fun production to perform in, the 11-person cast does an excellent job of bringing the ragtag pirate show crew to life. After a series of sparse casts earlier in the season it’s enjoyable to watch a big production.

Nathan Petit is particularly notable as Jim, and Scott McLean has a strong presence in dual roles first as Billy Bones and then long-suffering Captain Smollett.

This will be the last seasonal show at the Fox for the rest of the year. In an announcement on May 1, the Fox said that starting next season it will be shifting its season to a January-December schedule. To fill the rest of this year it will be holding a lineup of performances dubbed the “Fox Interlude” which will include a series of musical performances and a production of Cinderella geared towards young audiences. Tickets will be sold individually and not as part of a season pass. More details are available at aurorafox.org.

City spokesperson Chelsea Jones said that the decision was made in part to align

the season with the fiscal year of the city for cleaner accounting and reporting purposes. More details will be shared in the fall.

The Fox has also been without an executive director this season, after Helen R. Murray departed last year for a new position running a theater in the Tampa Bay area. Acting executive director Beau Bisson said that an announcement about the search is anticipated in the next couple of weeks.

Details about Fox Season 39 will be released at an announcement party and fundraiser on Sept. 9.

If you go: Runs through May 21, Thursdays-Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Approximate 2 hour and 15 minute runtime, including intermission

Adult tickets $28-$40

Purchase online at aurorafox.org or by calling 303-739-1970

Appropriate for all ages. Production features haze effects and non-firing prop weapons.

BREAKING CAMP

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Colorado Staff Writer

Ayear after the City of Aurora banned homeless encampments on public lands, abatements have ramped up, and even as camps persist, officials say campers are being connected with resources and help.

into housing

ing ban went into effect, during the COVID-19 pandemic, city staffers said they were limiting sweeps to camps that posed a particularly serious health or safety threat.

Hundreds of campsites have been abated since the ban went into effect last May, according to the city. At the same time, records provided by the city indicate that abatements have failed to deter camping overall, with some sites being swept multiple times every month or even multiple times in a single week. The city was not able to quantify how often the same individuals have been targeted by sweeps.

The ban prohibits unauthorized camping on public land and was created to discourage homeless camping in Aurora and manage the public health risks posed by encampments.

Mayor Mike Coffman brought his proposal for a ban forward in February 2022, and the conservative majority of Aurora’s City Council passed it into law. While a mosaic of laws gave Aurora the authority to disband camps before the camp-

The decision to temporarily pause camp abatements was consistent with guidance from public health agencies that advised cities not to break up campsites to avoid displacing people who were trying to quarantine themselves while sick with COVID-19.

Coffman’s measure signaled a shift in the city’s attitude toward camps, as the ban codified a policy of sweeping all unauthorized camps on public land.

An abatement can only take place if there is enough shelter space available to house everyone in the camp.

Under the ban, campers are given at least 72 hours’ notice to leave a site and are visited by an outreach team before the city’s contractor arrives to dispose of any leftover items. Any “personal documents or identifications” found at a site are turned over to the Aurora Day Resource Center for temporary storage.

Homeless advocates say camping ban is moving homeless people around but not necessarily

Supporters of the ban argue that it would be a helpful tool to curb camping and would benefit campers by connecting them with resources such as shelter, even though Aurora’s shelter capacity was and remains limited.

Aurora is likely home to hundreds more homeless people than available shelter beds, with the city reporting in February of last year that 285 beds were available between all of the city’s shelter resources or as many as 360 beds during inclement weather.

Since then, the city has made limited strides toward increasing capacity, for example supporting 30 new Pallet shelters — individual, prefabricated housing units measuring 8 feet by 8 feet — at two shelter sites in Aurora operated by the Salvation Army.

City spokesman Matthew Brown said a total of 132 homeless campers had accepted shelter at the Salvation Army sites, located at the group’s warehouse on Peoria Street and at Restoration Christian Ministries on East Sixth Avenue, between which there are nearly 100 individual Pallet shelters.

An outline for addressing homelessness brought forward by Coffman and passed by the majority of the council in the fall envisions a large central facility that would include housing and other services.

The former campus of the Ridge View Youth Services Center in southeast Aurora is also closer to becoming a substance abuse treatment and transitional housing complex capable of housing about 195 adults at a time, according to a news release published by the state.

But the revamped Ridge View campus won’t be operational until 2024, and Aurora was home to at least 612 homeless people last year, according to the 2022 point-in-time survey conducted on behalf of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Results of the city’s 2023 count of its homeless residents are expected to be released in the coming months.

Council members and others who opposed the camping ban describe it as cruel to homeless residents who had nowhere else to go and ultimately ineffective due to the city’s lack of shelter resources, arguing that it would only shuffle campers from one location to another.

Mile High Behavioral Healthcare CEO Bob Dorshimer reported in July that people impacted by sweeps were simply setting up camp elsewhere in Aurora and that only three people out of dozens swept had accepted offers of shelter at the Aurora Day Resource Center.

He told the Sentinel this week that, while the renewed focus on outreach had been successful at connecting more homeless people with resources, the regular sweeps were not encouraging the Aurora Day Resource Center’s clients to get off the streets.

“Sweeping people from encampments only succeeds in moving them someplace else,” he said.

Emma Knight, the city’s manager of homeless programs, told the Sentinel in December that the ban was pressuring more of Aurora’s homeless residents to seek out services.

Close to a year after the ban went into effect, data reported by the city indicates the pace of abatements has increased, with 369 abatements completed in the 11 months since the ban took effect compared to roughly 80 abatements in all of 2021.

Abatements since May 2022 have cost the city about $130,122, with another $51,285 billed to the Colorado Department of Transportation for camps located on their properties in Aurora. Brown said the council had budgeted a total of $250,000 for abatements.

Other data — such as the total amount spent on implementing the ban, the frequency with which abatements were targeting the same people and whether members of the public were reporting encampments less often since the ban went into effect — were not readily available.

City spokesman Ryan Luby wrote in an email that some of the information was being compiled for a presentation on the first year of the ban that staffers are scheduled to deliver to Aurora’s City Council in June.

“I can’t imagine what this city would look like without a camping ban,” Coffman wrote. “It would definitely be much worse.”

The Salvation Army said in August that their waitlist for Pallet shelters had nearly doubled since late April, and Salvation Army’s non-congregate shelter director, Tyler Burwell, said April 24 that the waitlist for the Pallet shelters that have not been set aside for sweeps specifically was at 65. He said that all of the agency’s clients who stayed in the longer-term Pallet shelters over the past several months had been able to move on to more permanent housing.

However, Coffman also said the city has been unable to clear camps three days after giving notice consistently because of a lack of resources.

Coffman said he was working on a proposal to be introduced in the coming weeks that would bring on more staff who could help with outreach and abatements. He said he would also be interested in creating a third Pallet shelter site and setting up temporary fencing around areas that “have a pattern of encampments.”

“After a year, I believe that having a camping ban is only a part of the solution when it comes to addressing the challenges of unsheltered homelessness, but the situation would be far worse without one,” the mayor wrote.

The ongoing problem of homeless campers returning to areas where they have driven out of has been brought up multiple times by council members on both sides of the aisle.

At a policy committee meeting in March, Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said her constituents often complained about encampments along Interstate 225 near Iliff Avenue and Parker Road. Knight told her the city was undertaking “weekly” abatements in the area, but that “once a camp is abated, they can come back that same night.”

A spreadsheet of abatement dates and locations provided by the city shows city representatives swept campsites near Iliff and I-225 more than 20 times between the enactment of the ban and late April, while camps near Parker and I-225 were swept about 17 times.

Campsites reappear frequently along the I-225 corridor, with camps near Sixth Avenue and Mississippi Avenue targeted more than a dozen times for abatements. More than a dozen abatements also took place at Horseshoe Park and several took place at Lowry Park.

Councilmember Steve Sundberg said during the March committee meeting that he and the city’s legal staffers were working on an update to the ban that would allow the city to define “emphasis areas” where the removal of camps would be expedited. He previously said the city would “look like 1969 Woodstock … with all of the campers around” if the council hadn’t passed a ban.

The phenomenon of persistent homeless camps has fueled comparisons with Denver’s camping ban. First signed into law by Mayor Michael Hancock in 2012, the Denver ban is widely considered to be ineffective at controlling the impacts of street homelessness in that city.

Addressing homelessness has become a major focus of the Denver mayoral race, with the two frontrunners, Mike Johnston and Kelly Brough, differing on how precisely to handle the crisis.

Johnston has proposed tiny home communities in Denver as a temporary housing solution, while Brough has endorsed designated campsites and said she would support arresting homeless campers who refuse to move or accept treatment. Neither candidate has proposed striking down the camping ban.

“Ican’timagine whatthiscitywould look like without a campingban,”

MayorMikeCoffman

Aurora City Council member Juan Marcano, who announced his candidacy for mayor in January, said he expected homelessness would also become a key topic in his city’s municipal election. Marcano emerged as a vocal opponent of the Aurora ban as it moved through the legislative process last year.

“They’ve been doing this for over a decade at this point, and they don’t have any progress to show for it,” Marcano said of Denver’s ban. “We called out what was going to happen with this policy in our city, that we were going to waste money pushing people around the city. We were right.”

Marcano said he would support rolling back Aurora’s ban and reinvesting the budgeted funds in permanent supportive housing, guiding the city toward a “housing-first” model for addressing homelessness similar to the strategy employed by Houston, Texas.

Council members traveled to Houston and San Antonio last year to study those cities’ approaches to homelessness, ultimately settling on a “work-first” strategy endorsed by Coffman that promises more aid to homeless residents who are willing to participate in programs offering support such as job training and drug treatment.

Coffman told a Denver TV news station in December that he would be running for reelection but has yet to file the paperwork formalizing his candidacy with the city clerk’s office. As of mid-April, Marcano was the only person who had filed paperwork to run for the office.

Cathy Alderman, chief communications and public policy officer for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, said camping bans have not been proven to be effective, mentioning the failure of Denver’s ban to connect homeless campers with resources. Aurora is one of many cities in the western U.S. to have adopted such a ban in recent years.

While Aurora officials have disputed the idea that camping bans are equivalent to criminalizing homelessness — noting that sweeps only take place when there is enough shelter space for every camper and that campers are only ticketed or arrested if they refuse to leave a campsite — Alderman described the policies as “an enforcement mechanism to say you can’t be in the state of being unhoused.”

“Automatically, it says to somebody who is being contacted under a camping ban that there’s something wrong with your mere existence, or the government is coming after you because of your mere existence,” she said. “Ultimately, connecting them with housing and services should be the goal.”

Dorshimer described campsite sweeps and free meals as “a Band-Aid solution” on their own. He said homelessness was too great of an obstacle to expect people to simply “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.” At the same time, he dismissed the suggestion that housing necessarily solves problems such as mental illness and substance abuse that trap people in homelessness.

He said most people underestimate the support that may be required to reintegrate a formerly homeless person back into the community.

“It takes enormous commitment from the community and those trying to rejoin it,” he said.

“They’ve been doing this for over a decade at this point, and they don’t have any progress to show for it,”

Preps

Perhaps like never before, Aurora is absolutely loaded for bear going into the Class 5A boys state swim meet.

The city has long had top talent from Regis Jesuit — the defending 5A state champion with 23 all-time titles to its credit — and from a few other programs, but it is better across the board this season going into the May 11-12 meet at the Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center.

There’s abundant potential in the 57 individuals and 14 relay teams from five city programs (Cherokee Trail, Grandview, Overland, Regis Jesuit and Smoky Hill) and three teams hope to make top 10 as they did last year.

BOYS SWIMMING

Regis Jesuit — which snapped a three-season title drought last year —

Seniors Truman Inglis (50 and 100 freestyles) and Hawkins Wendt (50 and 100 freestyles) — key members of those relays — are also seeded to score in two championship finals, while Regis Jesuit is likely to have many more as it has notoriously outstanding prelims performances.

Smoky Hill finished sixth last season and returns the vast majority of its point scorers, all of whom have taken steps forward this season. Coach Scott Cohen’s Buffaloes finished as the runner-up to Cherry Creek at the Centennial “A” League meet May 6 and have the horsepower to finish anywhere near the top of the standings.

Junior Daniel Yi won one of three league championships for Smoky Hill as he took the 200 yard individual medley with a time of 1:51.76, which makes him the No. 2 seed in the event at the state meet (just 0.01 of a second behind Legacy’s Sam White.

has a chance to repeat, though coach Nick Frasersmith’s Raiders will have to get past a Cherry Creek team that it lost to in dual competition as well as at the recent John Strain Memorial meet.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Staff Writer

Regis Jesuit finished fourth at the Continental “A” League meet May 5-6, though it didn’t have any of its top-line swimmers in the lineup. The Raiders bolstered their numbers in terms of state qualifiers, however, and roll into the state meet with 22 individuals in the mix along with all three relay teams.

The relays will be key for Regis Jesuit, which is seeded first in the event in both the 200 and 400 yard freestyle events. Both of those top times (1 minute, 24.02 seconds in the 200 and 3:05.17 in the 400) came at the John Strain meet and gave the Raiders a boost of confidence late in the season as they readied for the state meet.

Yi is also seeded second in his specialty, the 100 yard breaststroke, and he should be extra motivated at the state meet. He suffered a rare loss in the event in the Centennial “A” League championship heat as Cherry Creek’s Trevor Boodt touched him out. Boodt is seeded No. 3 coming into the state meet, while the No. 1 seed is Chatfield’s Joshua Corn — who touched out Yi at the Smoky Hill Invitational — and the fourth seed is Heritage’s Mitchell Oliver, last season’s state champion.

The Buffaloes figure to pick up big points in the 500 freestyle, where sophomore Ian Noffsinger and junior Jake Baker continue to push each other to new heights and come into the state meet seeded No. 2 and 3, respectively. Both were championship finalists in the event last season (Baker finished fifth, Noffsinger ninth), but both hope to make big moves up. Noffsinger won the event at the league meet, while Baker claimed the 200 freestyle and is seeded to score in that as well at state.

Smoky Hill also has two relays seeded in the top 10 and an outside chance to get the third in to the championship, which would be a rare feat for the program if it happened.

Grandview finished third at the Centennial “A” League meet and seeks to better last season’s 10th place finish. Coach Dan Berve’s Wolves were just nine points out of seventh place last season and could make a big jump this time with a total of 14 individual qualifiers.

After the league meet, all three Grandview relay teams are seeded in the top seven and that could yield good points at state if it can hold or better those positions. Individually, sophomore Oliver Schimberg made two championship finals last season and is seeded to do so again, while he is a major challenger for the state championship in the 100 backstroke.

Schimberg didn’t swim the event at league meet, but his top time of 49.59 seconds is only just behind the 49.20 of Monarch’s Gavin Keogh. Senior Matthew Scicchitano is seeded to make two championship finals and senior William Schimberg is seeded to score in two events for the Wolves.

Cherokee Trail finished 17th last season and could make a move up with a contingent of seven qualifiers and three relays. Sophomore Bronson Smothers is seeded to score in two events for the Cougars, who could score in all three relays.

Overland has two relay teams qualified and it also has the only state qualifier for Aurora in diving in sophomore Chad Hamilton.

The diving competition is at 9:55 a.m. May 11.

High-stakes rematch

CHEROKEE TRAIL, EAGLECREST BOYS VOLLEYBALL TEAMS KNOW EACH OTHER

WELL AND WILL BATTLE RIGHT AWAY TO OPEN STATE TOURNAMENT AT

Just two Aurora programs made the boys volleyball state tournament and they will face each other right way.

Second-seeded Cherokee Trail and seventh-seeded Eaglecrest earned spots in the May 11-13 state tournament — which will be played at Overland High School for a second straight year — and the two local rivals drew each other in the opening round.

OVERLAND

Cherokee Trail swept through the Region 2 tournament on its home floor May 5 with a 2520, 25-12, 25-17 victory over Cheyenne Mountain followed by a 24-26, 25-16, 25-19, 25-17 win over Regis Jesuit in an all-Aurora matchup. It was another challenge from the Raiders — who stretched Cherokee Trail to five sets just a few days earlier — but the Cougars prevailed.

Eaglecrest has a five-match winning streak working and its only loss in the last eight matches came to Valor Christian in the semifinals of the Centennial League Challenge.

The Raptors have an experienced roster as well, which is led by senior outside hitter Ayden Shaw, who ranks third in the state in total kills on the season. Senior Dennis Ancheta is an experienced libero who ranks in the top 10 in the state in digs despite missing time due to injury.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

When the Cougars and Raptors launch the first serve at 5 p.m. May 11, it will be the fourth meeting of the season between the two programs, both of which have fairly veteran lineups and who know each other quite well. The winning side will get off to a good start in the double-elimination tournament, while the loser will have its back against the wall as it hopes to survive.

Cherokee Trail finished 1-2 at last season’s state tournament, but coach Mike Thomsen’s team is zeroed in on a much bigger performance this time.

The Cougars come into the tournament with a sparkling 22-3 record (including a current 11-match win streak) and all three of their losses came to teams in the state tournament (No. 1 Discovery Canyon, No. 3 Valor Christian and No. 4 Legend). They evened the season series with the Titans and Eagles, who they defeated in five sets to win the Centennial League Challenge to end the regular season.

The region showed a balanced effort from a team that has a top-end talent in junior John Clinton — who racked up an astonishing 32 kills in the five-set regular season win over Regis Jesuit and averages 3.7 kills per set — while junior Chase Jensen and sophomore Jaeden Barnes were effective as well.

Cherokee Trail has plenty of experience on the floor from Clinton —who has started since he was a freshman — plus seniors Daniel and Rocky Xiao, Owen Collitt, Jaime Coronel and Rohith Thomas.

Eaglecrest, meanwhile, pulled off one of just two upsets across all regional play as the Raptors defeated No. 7 Poudre School District in five sets, just like they had in the regular season. Castle View, the 11th seed, had the other upset at regionals when it defeated No. 6 Thornton.

Coach Chad Bond’s Eaglecrest team comes into the state tournament with a 17-8 record and seven of its losses have come to teams in the tournament (three to Cherokee Trail, two to Valor Christian and one apiece to Bear Creek and Castle View). The Raptors own a win over the Sabercats.

Sophomore Jackson Shaw has come to play a huge role this season offensively, while senior Logan Taylor and sophomore Matthew Dye have taken on bigger roles in the middle, where both starters from last season graduated.

Cherokee Trail won the three previous matchups between the teams, including two-set meetings at tournaments at Eaglecrest (25-20, 25-17) and Legend (28-26, 25-22), while they took the Centennial League matchup 25-23, 26-24, 2927, though both sides were without some key personnel due to injury.

Four of the seven sets between the teams needed extra points to decide, so the opening round matchup could be one of the most competitive of the four (the others are No. 8 Castle View vs. No. 1 Discovery Canyon, No. 5 Douglas County vs. No. 4 Legend and No. 6 Bear Creek vs. No. 3 Valor Christian).

The loser of the Cherokee Trail-Eaglecrest first round matches turns around for a 7 p.m. matchup against the loser of the Discovery Canyon-Castle View match in the first set of elimination matches, while the winner advances to a 5 p.m. May 12 championship bracket match state champion) against the other winner.

GIRLS TENNIS

Freshman Johnson gives Vista PEAK first state tennis qualifier

Freshman Francesca Johnson made history for the Vista PEAK girls tennis program by becoming its first state tournament qualifier.

Johnson earned her way into the championship match at the Class 4A Region 2 tournament May 5 at Kent Denver and despite a loss Lila Moldenhauer of the host Sun Devis, earned the region’s second spot in the May 11-13 individual state tournament at Pueblo City Park.

On top of that, she is the first state tennis qualifier for an Aurora Public Schools program since 2011, when Rangeview — coached by current Vista PEAK coach Simon Morwood — had the No. 3 doubles team of Christiana Dedi and Melissa Kolanek and the No. 4 doubles team of Hannah and Rachel Carnes make it to the 5A state tournament.

Breaking the 21-year drought for the district, Johnson will face Longmont senior Lauren Pavot May 11 in a 4A state opening round match scheduled to begin at 9 a.m.

Johnson came into Region 2 as the No. 3 seed and opened play with a 6-0,  6-0 victory over Aurora Central’s Ruby Rodriguez, the No. 7 seed. That put Johnson up against second-seeded Olivia Carter of Denver South in the semifinals and she prevailed 6-1, 1-6, 6-3 to qualify for the title match. Moldenhauer didn’t drop a game in either of her first two regional matches and she also topped Johnson 6-0, 6-0, but Johnson avoided a playback when Carter won the third-place match over Littleton’s Luci Brendlinger, who could have challenged Johnson had she won.

GIRLS TENNIS Regis Jesuit takes full team to 5A state individual tournament

The Regis Jesuit girls tennis team may no longer be in the Class 5A team state tournament, but all three of its singles players and four doubles teams earned a chance to win individual hardware.

The Raiders — who recently lost to top-seeded Cherry Creek in the quarterfinals of the inaugural 5A state team tournament — will be whole for the May 11-13 5A individual state tournament at Denver’s City Park after they made it through in a variety of ways from the Region 6 tournament at the APEX Tennis Center.

First-year Regis Jesuit coach Jennifer Armstrong had all seven positions make it into championship matches May 4 and all came against host Ralston Valley, which won five of the seven matchups. The No. 1 doubles team of senior Quinn Binaxas and junior Mary Clare Watts and the No. 4 duo of sophomores Cait Carolan and Lily Beebe both won three-set matches to take regional titles for the Raiders.

The regional championships yielded better position in the brackets for Regis Jesuit’s two doubles teams. Binaxas and Watts could have an interesting second round matchup in the form of Cherry Creek’s Riley Loehr and Sabrina Sharma, who they defeated to give Regis Jesuit its lone win in the 6-1 team state loss. Carolan and Beebe lost to the Bruins’ Julia Karlberg and Zoey Hao in the team dual and could get a rematch if both teams make it to the semifinals.

All three Regis Jesuit singles players — senior Madison Wei at No. 1, senior Paige Wolf at No. 2 and junior Lucia Filippini at No. 3 — lost in regional championship matches, but none faced playbacks as they had defeated the third-place finisher. Wei — a returning state qualifier along with Filippini and Watts — and Wolf both ended up with possible rematches with Cherry Creek, while Filippini is on the oppo-

site side of the bracket at No. 3.

The No. 2 doubles team of junior Brenna Radebaugh and sophomore Ebba Svard and the No. 3 tandem of junior Elise Holt and freshman Otilya Martino each had to go the long way to make it into the state tournament, which they did via playbacks.

First round matches begin at 9 a.m. May 11 and play start at the same time May 12 and May 13 for championship and third-place matches.

he took that event at the league meet with a time of 21.72 seconds, while he also claimed the 100 as he crossed the finish line in 10.75 seconds.

The Regis Jesuit boys also took the 4x100 meter relay crown on their way to a runner-up finish. Coach Quinn Pack’s team earned 109.5 points, which was behind runaway winner ThunderRidge, which earned 199.5.

The Regis Jesuit girls accrued 59.5 points to finish ninth in the team standings. They had no champions, but Dorothy Freeman finished as the runner-up in the high jump.

GIRLS LACROSSE

Cherokee Trail earns win to open 4A playoffs

The Cherokee Trail girls lacrosse team picked up a win to open the Class 4A state playoffs for a second straight season as the 14th-seeded Cougars

defeated 19th-seeded Denver North 15-12 May 9 at Legacy Stadium.

Junior Kyla Bieker scored six goals and juniors Aubrey Benton and Kyra Shipp added three apiece for Cherokee Trail, which improved to 9-7 on the season. The Cougars move into the second round, where they will visit third-seeded Evergreen at 6 p.m. May 11. The Cougars had a bye in the opening round.

Against a Denver North team playing its first playoff game, Cherokee Trail came out and scored the first four goals of the game from four different players before the Norse steading the ship and got to within 8-7 at halftime. The Cougars saw their lead shrink to 13-11 with just over eight minutes left, but Bieker scored and Kylee Hayes fed Sage Sorrells for a score for some breathing room.

GIRLS SOCCER

Grandview, Cherokee Trail, Regis Jesuit fall in Class 5A playoffs

Defending champ Grandview, plus Cherokee Trail and Regis Jesuit were part of the 32-team field for the Class 5A girls state soccer tournament, but all made first round exits May 9.

The Wolves received the No. 15 seed and got a first round home game against No. 19 Chatfield in a game that stretched deep into the night at Legacy Stadium and ended with the Chargers winning on penalty kicks.

Coach Brian Wood’s Grandview team fell behind by two goals, then tied it up on scores by freshman Lexi Yi and junior Madalyn Hopkins as the game went to halftime at 2-2. Sophomore Isabelle Rogers scored in the first minute of the second half to give the Wolves their first lead, but that lasted just seven minutes before Chatfield got the equalizer.

Nobody scored in the final 32 minutes of regulation or in either of the 15-minute overtime periods, which sent the game to penalty kicks. The Chargers converted all of their chances and one of the Wolves’ tries was saved and the game ended.

Grandview finished the season 9-6 and fell short of advancing to face Broomfield in what would have been a rematch of last season’s state title game.

Cherokee Trail, the No. 22 seed, traveled to French Field in Fort Collins to play 11th-seeded Rocky Mountain.

In a game that was halted at one point due to lightning, the Lobos came away with a 2-1 victory, which ended a 10-5 season for coach Jose Rosales’ Cougars.

No. 25 Regis Jesuit took on eighth-seeded Ralston Valley at the North Area Athletic Complex and coach Will Cropper’s team trailed just 1-0 at halftime.

Sophomore Brooke Metcalfe scored in the second half, but Regis Jesuit ceded three goals in a 4-1 loss that ended its season at 7-9.

BOYS LACROSSE

Cherokee Trail opens 5A playoffs, while Regis Jesuit has bye

Two Aurora teams qualified for the Class 5A boys lacrosse playoffs, but only one of them had to play in the opening round May 10.

By virtue of its No. 14 seed, Cherokee Trail got to play its first round game at home and was scheduled to welcome No. 19 Chatfield to Legacy Stadium. Coach Matt Cawley’s Cougars finished 8-7 in the regular season, while the Chargers are 7-8.

The Cherokee Trail-Chatfield winner moves on to the second round, where Regis Jesuit — the No. 3 overall seed — awaits. Coach Jim Soran’s Raiders received a first round bye.

BASEBALL Grandview makes Centennial League Challenge final

In dramatic fashion, the Grandview baseball team made it to the championship of the Centennial

League Challenge, where it will rematch with Cherry Creek.

The Wolves — the league’s regular season champ — rallied from one-run deficits three times in the final three innings and scored twice in the bottom of the 10th inning for a 6-5 victory over rival Cherokee Trail.

Junior Tony Crow ground ball on the infield brought home senior Spenser Smock to give Grandview a walk-off win and a spot in the May 13 final against Cherry Creek, which defeated Mullen 9-3 in the other championship semifinal. The Wolves topped the Bruins 4-2 in the regular season meeting of the teams.

On the consolation side of the bracket, Eaglecrest got two home runs from Brayden Harbin and a grand slam from Braylen Bell as it went on to defeat Smoky Hill 14-2.
