TAKING COLORADO BY DORM

Sofia sets out to be the first Down syndrome student to attend UNC for a bachelor’s degree

So, you’re standing in line at the store, the bank or gathered in the produce department at the supermarket, among 10 other people.

According to an Associated Press poll released this week, six of those people around you are afraid that immigrants are somehow being enlisted to sway elections, steal their jobs or end “American” culture to supplant it with their own.

You might even be one of those fearful people.

I hear you in stores, restaurants and read your Facebook posts all the time.

The fears are stoked by people like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, or like Tucker Carlson on Fox News, who claims Democrats are trying to flood the country with immigrants as a way of consolidating political power and “diluting” “American culture,” according to an AP story this week.

We’re living with the results of this constant message from conservatives.

A kindly-seeming older guy at a hardware store the other day on the west side of the metroplex was telling his apparent friend about work he’d recently had done at his house by “Mexicans” and how a problem arose. “I wasn’t about to let a Mexican pull one over on me,” the guy said, bragging.

As unsettling as the comment was, even more worrisome was that this guy felt comfortable in loudly announcing his naked racism in the middle of a busy hardware store.

“Wow. Bigotry robs you of a lot of things,” I told the guys, visibly shocked not that I was listening, but that I pushed back.

Just as surprising to me, the bigot tried to explain that he wasn’t a bigot, but that it’s important for “Americans” to “draw the line” so “Mexicans know what they can and can’t get away with…or else it’s all over.”

He clearly didn’t see his bigotry as a personal defect but as something necessary to his survival.

I’ve heard and overheard this kind of talk, almost always in matter-of-fact or sometimes almost apologetic tones, my entire life. As a white guy, other white people often just assume supremacy, racism and bigotry are a shared experience and common value.

Besides being white, discussing what’s what with our safe-sounding, bland Western drawl is another privileged perk where members often feel free to slur “others” without reprisal.

I grew up in Colorado when detectable lilts even from New England or Texas raised eyebrows and suspicions.

It’s both encouraging and depressing that after so many generations of immigrants in a nation created by immigrants, that the fears of “others” still persist and sometimes change.

My own family, the Nesselhufs, emigrated here from Freiburg, Germany in

the late 1800s, among millions of German immigrants. They settled in Manzanola in southeast Colorado, because it was so much like the region they’d left for a new and better life here, away from meddling kaisers.

My grandmother told me distrust of the Nesselhufs by some turned to hatred by many as World War I erupted. German immigrants were suspected and frequently accused of being spies, even in Manzanola of all places. No one spoke German outside the house after that. Neighbors slurred them as “Huns.”

What was once the post-Victorian language of enlightenment, art, music and fun became a shameful moniker of treachery.

German books were removed from the libraries. Germans were unwelcome everywhere.

Despite decades of demonization, however, “they” eventually became “us.”

I point this out only because endless other immigrant groups have suffered the same or far worse. Immigrants from Italy, Poland, Ireland and Russia have long been considered “others,” worthy of suspicion and distrust, until they’re not, for the most part, because they’re white.

Brown immigrant groups have never been so lucky. In the eyes of American bigots, they’re doubly cursed with fostering an alien culture and an alien race.

On one end of the racism spectrum, are people who note the race or culture of people in retelling a story when it has nothing to do with what they’re talking about. “I was outside and this Black guy came by walking two yappy dogs who hated being out in…” Or it was a “Hispanic lady” or an “Asian guy.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard a white person retell a story about “some white guy,” where his race wasn’t germain to the story.

On the other end of the spectrum was this guy at the hardware store. He clearly thinks that brown people, especially brown people speaking another language,

want to change alter his suburban community, the state and the nation.

What I’ve never been able to figure out, and I’ve asked, is “how” immigrants and “others” would change our world if they could, according to all these fears.

If you’ve spent any time out and about in Aurora, you quickly get the fact that “them” is “us.” If you shop at Arash, an amazing international market on Parker Road, you can mingle among Muslims in bluejeans or burqas shopping with Jews and Latinos and East Africans, Eastern Europeans and even old guys like me who appreciate the amazing cured olives, flatbreads from every culture in the world and the only place I know of where you can get French feta cheese. It’s the same at H-mart, across the street, where everybody there from cultures across the world or across the city can paw through every kind of pepper on the planet. Just a little farther east is a King Soopers store filled with employees and shoppers who look like everyone in the neighborhood, from everywhere.

They aren’t looking for socialism or forcing people to speak Farsi. They drive Toyotas and Fords to pick up their kids from schools they depend on to do a good job teaching their kids. They want the city to fix the potholes and the Costco to not run out of toilet paper before they get there. They want the price of gas to go down and to see their favorite show on TV without someone telling them the dog got out of the backyard again. They want to be recognized and respected for their hard work on the job and at home.

In every way that matters, they are us, and we are them.

If you’re going to be afraid of something, fear that you’ll get to the end of your life never realizing that and enjoying it.

Two-thirds of U.S fear immigrants are going to take over and make us like them, which we already are

Weeks after Aurora’s latest police fiasco, it’s clear Chief Wilson’s firing was a political hit job

Weeks after Aurora officials ousted former Police Chief Vanessa Wilson, and months into a pervasive problem with backlogged police reports, the public still can’t get straight answers about the controversy.

Police reform and law enforcement issues are critical in Aurora, and this controversy is too important to just look the other way.

It’s hard to pin down when the problem of a ballyhooed backlog of police reports waiting for “transcription” began, but the recent police leadership debacle is easy to peg.

For the past decade or more, the reputation of Aurora police has become that of an insular, secretive and abusive department. Years of uncovered, horrendous crimes, racism and malfeasance, culminated in a court-monitored consent decree, where the state attorney general identified patterns and practices of racism, abuse, cover-ups and malfeasance.

The findings are horrific, not just because of what was documented, but because it wrongly shrouded the entire police department in a cloud of mistrust and corruption. Aurora Police has long had a proud and well-deserved reputation for its progressive, community-based department, serving one of the most diverse large cities in the country.

City Manager Jim Twombly elevated Wilson as chief just as the department drew endless ridicule and suspicion onto itself by one mistake after another. Despite that, and despite the ruined APD reputation especially among Black residents, Wilson was able to restore public credibility to the department with her candid, honest admissions of police malfeasance and demands for transparency, accountability and professionalism.

Some police members, mostly union officials, pushed back against high-profile firings and condemnation of police actions when they clearly warranted condemnation. A car full of Black girls and women forced face-down onto hot pavement, a drunken officer passed out in his squad car, officers mocking the infamous death of Elijah McClain and an officer pistol-whipping a man were just the most infamous APD exploits Wilson lambasted.

In 2021, three Republican city council members — Dustin Zvonek, Danielle Jurinsky and Steve Sundberg — campaigned against Wilson’s honesty, swearing allegiance to Aurora’s police unions, winning their support and seats on the city council. All have made repeated, disparaging comments about police accountability, but Jurinsky went so far on talk-radio as to demand Wilson’s ouster, calling her “trash.”

Since the new city council was seated, these lawmakers and police union officials have routinely made it clear they wanted Wilson out.

In a ham-handed series of gaffes, Twombly fired Wilson April 6, citing only a vague allegation that Wilson was unable to lead.

Along the way, the question of a backlog of police report transcriptions became a key point in city lawmakers demanding Wilson’s firing.

It clearly was a convenient deception.

After multiple demands for information and explanations by Sentinel reporters, it’s become apparent that:

• The transcription process of curating police reports is not critical to pursuing investigations nor solving crimes and pursuing offenders, as the public was misled to believe by Ed Claughton, CEO of consultant PRI Management Group and author of a scathing report. The exaggerated claims were repeated by city officials.

• That a backlog of transcribed reports has been a long and recurring problem, predating Wilson’s tenure as chief.

• Claughton has a profound, documented reputation for criticizing on social media police reform efforts, leaders pushing for police accountability and supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement.

• That the author of the report wildly inflated the alleged threat to individuals and the community posed by the backlog.

• That city officials failed due diligence in assessing the reputation of the report’s author, even in the face of how critical police reform and practices is to the Aurora community.

• That Twombly knowingly allowed the report to be used privately and publicly as a way to provide cover for Wilson’s firing, despite the fact it was grossly erroneous and misleading.

• That even after much of this came to light after reporting in The Sentinel, city and police officials continued to pursue justification of giving the report credence and credibility by adding that six cases were finally identified justifying Wilson’s critics fear of risks created by the debacle.

These six cases were at best nothing more than compelling illustrations of sloppy policing on the part of officers and investigators, having nothing to do with Wilson nor the lag in transcribed cases. The cases were for the most part old, cold events that never allowed unchecked criminals to continue victimizing people as the report’s author and Wilson’s critics on the city council insisted.

In short, Twombly and city officials still have produced nothing to show that Wilson’s firing was anything less than a political hit job.

Aurora is about to embark on hiring a new chief, after hobbling the city not just with a police department suffering from one of the worst reputations in the country, but now as a city led by a suspect group of lawmakers and officials who have destroyed what little trust and credibility Aurora and the police department had left to offer.

There is nothing more critical to Aurora right now than finding a trustworthy leader of the police department. It comes at a time when crime and violence are so concerning, when the reputation of the police is so appalling and now the stature of those responsible for hiring and overseeing the chief is badly damaged.

The only hope for Aurora now is complete honesty, transparency and accountability about Wilson’s ouster. Without it, a new chief will struggle against a mountain of doubt and credibility when the job of fixing this ailing police department is nearly insurmountable.

MICEK: Book bans are really about fear

More years ago than I really care to count, the children’s librarian in my little town in rural northwestern Connecticut, apparently tired of my endlessly renewing the same book over and over again, pressed a copy of “The White Mountains” by John Christopher into my eight-year-old hands.

Mrs. Bullock was her name. She was the mother of one of my schoolmates. She’d taken note of my reading habits, such as they were were, and decided to take matters into her own hands. If I liked the book I’d been endlessly renewing, she argued, I’d love this one.

She was right. I read every volume in Christopher’s pulpy series, which followed the adventures of young people rebelling against alien overlords’ bent on keeping a servile population under their collective thumb with futuristic tech that suppressed their individuality and free will. It was the start of my lifelong love of books and libraries. And viewed through the prism of 40-odd years, it was an oddly prescient choice. Students and their teachers in schools across the country — and now public libraries — are waging a brave fight against the king of organized book- banning campaigns that once only seemed the province of the worst kind of totalitarian governments — or dystopian science fiction.

As Pennsylvania Capital-Star Washington Reporter Ariana Figueroa made astonishingly clear in a recent story, hundreds of books, across dozens of states, are being banned at alarming rates.

A majority of the bans we’re seeing across the country have targeted books written by authors who are people of color, LGBTQ+, Black and indigenous. The books feature characters, and deal with themes, that reflect the experiences of marginalized communities, Figueroa reported. And while those behind these campaigns hide themselves behind the mask of parental control, what I think they’re really concealing is fear: Fear of a country and world that’s changing around them. Fear of voices that were kept silent too long who are now speaking up and demanding their seat at the table of power. Perhaps most importantly, fear of the erosion of their own privilege.

Books are more than printed matter. They’re conduits to an endless universe of knowledge. And they are the greatest democratizer we’ve ever invented. Take one down off the shelf, read it, and finish it, and it will nudge you to another, and another. Before long, you’re navigating the twists and turns

of human experience, letting your own curiosity be your guide, allowing it to bring you to places you’ve never been, and to introduce you to people, places, and cultures you might never have met or experienced on your own.

And that’s why, when they’ve sought to erase people and cultures, every authoritarian from the beginning of time until now has destroyed their books and burned their libraries.

After the the Romans tore down ancient Carthage, brick by brick, and sold its people into slavery in 146 B.C.E., they gave the Carthaginians’ books to the city’s adversaries, who either destroyed or lost them, silencing them forever.

The Nazis held well-documented book burnings in 1933. And in a modern twist, Vladimir Putin’s Russia is struggling to keep the truth of its savage invasion of Ukraine from its own people. Last year, students in a Pennsylvania school district about 40 minutes south of Harrisburg made nationwide headlines when they took on — and won a reversal of — a year-long ban on a list of anti-racism books and educational resources by or about people of color, including children’s books that dealt with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.

The school board’s president, Jane Johnson, told the Washington Post at the time that the board was trying to “balance legitimate academic freedom with what could be literature/materials that are too activist in nature, and may lean more toward indoctrination rather than age-appropriate academic content.”

Hear that? Indoctrination? That’s the voice of fear talking. It’s a way to push back, without appearing to push back, against arguments that you’re trying to silence or erase those whose voices badly need to be heard.

When a student — or anyone — picks up a book, it’s a moment of singular liberation. It’s their first step down that hallway of knowledge. It’s the start, rather than the end, of the adventure. And there’s no telling where it might take them — perhaps even to the halls of power themselves. And if they’re very lucky, they will have their own Mrs. Bullock to help guide them down those twisting and turning corridors, always nudging them along, gently prodding and testing them, but never, ever standing in their way or blocking the path.

Only the fearful do that.

4-DAY FUTURE

CHARTER SCHOOLS IN DENVER, AURORA BET ON A FOUR-DAY WEEK TO REVERSE PANDEMIC LEARNING LOSS

Starting in the upcoming school year, Vanguard Classical Schools will switch to a four-day school week. The charter school, which has campuses in Aurora and Denver, hopes the change will boost student well-being and strengthen connections with families.

Instead of classes, Mondays will be used to provide targeted tutoring for students who struggled academically during the pandemic.

“We’re thinking this is a very direct way to really try to help students and lessen the growth gap,” executive director Jay Cerny told The Sentinel.

Cerny said the school’s leadership team began researching the potential benefits of a four-day week this school year and found research suggesting that it helps school districts form stronger connections with families and improves student well-being by giving them a longer break. It also decreases student and staff absences by giving them a day during the work week to schedule appointments and conduct other business.

“We’re trying to put a really high emphasis on the value of family time,” he said.

The change was approved by the school board in March, and the administration sent a letter out to families last week officially notifying them about the decision. It still needs to get final approval from the Colorado Department of Education, which is expected to

give its decision next week, but Cerny said he believes it will be approved.

For families that cannot have their students at home on Mondays, the school is implementing a day program at both campuses for students in kindergarten through 8th grade from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The cost for one student will be $38 for a whole day of supervision and $20 for a half day, and may be free for families if they apply through the Colorado Childcare Assistance Program. If they do not qualify for free care but cannot afford the full price, the school will offer them a subsidized rate.

The school will be using data from assessments conducted this spring to invite some students to participate in tutoring sessions on Mondays, which Cerny said was “an incredible driver” for the new schedule.

Students in 2nd through 8th grade have been most affected by pandemic learning loss, he said, and will be offered tutoring in English, math and, for English language learner students, literacy. The sessions will take place from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. two or three Mondays a month and will be conducted by Vanguard teachers and staff, who will be offered an additional contract to work that day.

Students in 9th through 12th grade will be given the option to complete supervised credit recovery if they have classes they failed in the previous year that they want to make up.

The tutoring will be strongly encouraged but not mandatory for anyone, Cerny said. The school is preparing for several hundred students to take advantage of it.

Much or possibly all of the money to pay teachers on Mondays will be drawn from federal pandemic funding to help schools recover from the effects of the pandemic, he said.

When researching four-day weeks, Cerny said the leadership team’s main concern was that most districts that implemented it lost 60-70 hours of instructional time per year. Vanguard will rearrange its schedule so that it will have slightly more instructional hours next year. The district will start a week earlier, eliminate its fall break and add about 20 minute to each school day.

In Colorado, 64% of school districts have a four day school week, according to a 2021 report from the Colorado Department of Education. The majority are smaller districts in rural parts of the state.

Vanguard Classical is unique in that its decision to switch to a shorter week is not motivated by financial need. The school told parents it’s not cutting the budget and will dedicate an estimated $500,000 saved in utilities and cleaning costs to instructional costs and teacher support.

Janelle Asmus, a spokesperson for the 27J school district in Brighton, said that the dis-

trict transitioned to a four day school week in 2018 after a failed mill levy vote in the previous election.

Families were unsure of the change at first, but it has become “business as usual,” she said. The district provides low-cost child care for families that cannot make other arrangements, but not many people make use of it.

The schedule has been an attractor for teachers as the district struggles to be competitive with salaries and gives students more time to spend with their families on the weekend instead of just doing homework, Asmus said.

“It really is a much more relaxed way of handling the weekend and getting prepared for the week ahead,” she said.

Because of the effects of the pandemic and the cancellation and low participation in state tests over the past few years, it has been hard to track academic performance in the ensuing years. However, Asmus said the district’s graduation rate has continued to

ing us,” she said.

A survey conducted by Vanguard Classical Schools found that 70% of parents and 95% of staff were in favor of switching to a four day week, Cerny said. That tracks with data reported at the state level.

“Satisfaction surveys indicate that 80% - 90% of community members favor continuing the four-day week in districts which have been on the schedule for several years,” the CDE report said. “The opposition seems to come from members of the community not directly associated with the school, and from those who feel that school employees should work a traditional week.”

As well as benefiting current students, Cerny hopes that the new schedule will be a draw to families not currently enrolled.

The west campus in Denver currently has 350 students with the capacity for a total of 450, and the east campus in Denver currently has 750 students with capacity for 900.”

“We’re really hoping this will not only fill the schools but really set them apart,” he said. “We want to be a realistic choice for as many

Lawmakers finalize camping ban

Aurora’s City Council finalized a new policy on Monday for storing some of the belongings of those displaced by homeless encampment sweeps.

The policy promises that people working on behalf of the city to abate encampments will “recover personal documents and identifications observed in the trash and debris and turn this property over to the Aurora Day Resource Center.”

“City staff and City agents will not sort through the trash and debris to look for personal documents or identifications,” the policy reads.

A spokesperson did not immediately respond Monday night regarding when the city would begin enforcing the ban.

Council members finalized a ban on unauthorized camping earlier this year, which included an amendment initially proposed by Councilmember Crystal Murillo that directed the city manager’s office to come up with a policy for storing leftover personal property.

On Monday, Murillo said she believed more work was needed to treat homeless campers humanely in light of the new camping ban, but that she was comfortable voting on the policy as it was.

“This is not the most comprehensive way to address storage, but given the conversation at the last meeting, I think that a policy is better than no policy,” she said.

Council members voted unanimously to introduce the policy. Items will be stored for up to a year at the Aurora Day Resource Center, which the city is also considering turning into a 24/7 shelter.

On May 2, Assistant City Attorney Tim Joyce told the group that the policy was the last thing standing in the way of stepping up enforcement to align with the goals of the camping ban, though the city is

still in the process of creating more shelter space. Based on local and federal estimates, there may be hundreds more homeless people than shelter beds.

City shares youth violence services funding draft

City of Aurora staffers delivered their recommendations for splitting up $500,000 in funds for youth violence prevention last Thursday, including money for violence interrupters, mental health care and other services.

The update delivered to the Housing, Neighborhood Services and Redevelopment Policy Committee came after Aurora’s City Council approved making the $500,000 in marijuana tax revenues available for organizations to help combat youth violence and gang activity.

Council members Juan Marcano, Ruben Medina and Crystal Murillo, who make up the committee, said they approved of the recommendations for $400,000 in violence intervention services, which include:

$68,141 to Mosaic Unlimited, Inc., a nonprofit associated with Mosaic Church of Aurora,  for its Safe Havens program and Strengthening Families Curriculum.

$65,000 to the Step Up Youth Corporation, a not-for-profit organization based in the Denver metro area that offers scholarships, in part to partner with Aurora Public Schools.

$62,500 for the University of Colorado’s At-Risk Intervention and Mentoring Program, a violence interruption effort that identifies hospital patients at risk of violence and connects them with hospital- and community-based resources.

$60,000 to Fully Liberated Youth, a Denver-based nonprofit, for outreach, mentorship, therapy and wraparound services.

$56,000 to the Struggle of Love Foundation, another Denver nonprofit, for violence interruption services.

$48,759 to the Juvenile Assessment Center — a nonprofit that works with families in Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties — for a bilingual family liaison and youth assessment and case management services.

$39,600 to Aurora Community Connection for mental health and bilingual services.

The three also gave tentative approval to spending $100,000 for violence prevention services such as:

$10,000 to A1 Boxing, a boxing gym in Aurora, in part to offer youth scholarships for the sport.

$10,000 to the Rocky Mountain Welcome Center, a not-for-profit organization in Aurora, to offer services specifically for young immigrant girls.

$10,000 to Aurora Public Schools for prevention supports for students and families.

$10,000 to Driven by Our Ambitions, a youth mentorship and therapy organization based in the Denver area, for hosting basketball nights and helping with the re-entry

of youth committed by the state’s Division of Youth Services.

$10,000 to the Aurora Sister Cities program for a civic engagement youth summer camp.

$10,000 to the Salvation Army and $10,000 to Denver Area Youth for Christ for hosting youth nights for Aurora youth.

$10,000 in additional funding for the Struggle of Love Foundation for the Safe Zones program and wraparound services.

$7,500 to Rise 5280 and $7,500 to Urban Nature Impact for joint youth prevention programming.

$5,000 to the Aurora Housing Authority for movie nights and other resident engagement programs.

Christina Amparan, the city’s youth violence prevention manager, said the city received a total of 30 applications in March from organizations interested in grant funding.

Applications were reviewed by a panel consisting of school resource officers from the Aurora Police Department and representatives from the Tri-County Health Department, Aurora Mental Health, Center, Colorado Youth Detention Continuum, and Aurora Housing and Community Services.

Amparan said the group considered the level of organization and oversight within the agencies that applied, as well as their past successes and whether programs were rooted in evidence and best practices.

“We wanted to be sure we were recommending organizations that had either the curriculum or the staffing but also the expertise to be able to provide those services to our at-risk youth,” she said.

In response to a question from Marcano, Amparan said she thought the $500,000 provided “a good starting point” for organizations to help address youth violence in the city.

“There’s a lot of concern,” Marcano said of the topic of youth violence. “I don’t want you all to ever hesitate to come to us and ask for more.”

The recommendations will be presented to the City Council at an upcoming study session before they are approved or rejected by the group as a whole.

Mental health center of DOE visit

From telehealth visits to the playground, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education Cindy Marten lauded Aurora Public Schools’ wraparound commitment to supporting students’ mental health needs with the federal pandemic relief funding it received last year.

April shooting victim dies

A man shot and wounded three weeks ago in central Aurora has died, elevating the case to a homicide, police said.

Slain was Noah Pfister, 32, police said. No other identifying information was released.

“Upon officers’ arrival, they located a man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound,” police said in a statement.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital. Police said the man died May 4 from gunshot wounds sustained during the shooting.

“At this early stage in the investigation, the facts and circumstances that led up to this death, to include suspect descriptions, are still being determined,” Agent Matthew Longshore said in a statement.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.

Protester headed to trial

A man accused of falsely imprisoning Aurora police during protests outside a police substation during the summer of 2020 will finally be headed to trial in August.

Daxx Dalton, 24, is facing misdemeanor charges of false imprisonment, engaging in a riot and obstructing government operations. The charges stem from a demonstration in front of a north Aurora police station on the University of Colorado Anschutz medical campus that spanned from late July 3 to the early morning hours of July 4, 2020. The protestors were there to demand the arrest of the officers involved in Elijah McClain’s death.

More than a half dozen people were originally accused of a gaggle of crimes in connection with the Adams County protest that Aurora police said posed a significant and prolonged threat to public safety after demonstrators barricaded doors and prevented police from exiting the building for hours.

But Adams County District Attorney Brian Mason dropped all of the most serious criminal charges against five people who were previously accused of various felony and misdemeanor counts in connection with the protest last May, saying that prosecutors would not be able to win convictions in the cases.

Another person, Cameron Frazier, was sentenced to two years of probation for a felony weapons charge incurred at the same protest.

Dalton was originally scheduled to go to trial in October after pleading not guilty, but was delayed. He appeared remotely in Adams County District Court Friday for a motions hearing before Judge Leroy Kirby.

Dalton was originally scheduled to appear in Judge Marques Ivey’s courtroom, but Ivey recused himself from the case because he had some initial interactions as private counsel with Elijah McClain’s family after his death.

At the hearing, Dalton’s lawyer filed a motion to extend the trial date beyond when it was scheduled in June due to the amount of discovery the prosecutors had filed in the case, including a witness list that was originally 20 pages long.

Dalton agreed to waive his right to a speedy trial, extending when it could be scheduled, and it was reset for the week of August 8 through 12.

Alleged open meeting violation headed to judge

Attorneys for Sentinel Colorado say a district court judge will determine whether to make public the recording of a closed city council meeting where members discussed and ended the censure process of a fellow council person.

The Sentinel and statewide free-press experts and attorneys contend the meeting violated state open meeting laws, and that the decision to end the process of censure against Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky occurred during an illegal, secret vote among lawmakers.

“The facts of the case speak for themselves as to the legality and appropriateness of handling such a public matter in private,” said Sentinel Editor and Publisher Dave Perry. “The censure of an elected official demands the public’s attention, and the public was wrongly deprived of that opportunity by holding this meeting and making a crucial decision in secret.”

Aurora city attorneys have defended the closed meeting and

said no formal action was taken by lawmakers when they decided to curtail the censure process against Jurinsky.

City council members approved a measure Monday night that essentially allows a judge to listen to a recording of the March 14 city council meeting and determine whether it should be made public. It was unclear at press time when a court review of the recording would occur.

Attorneys for The Sentinel said they’re confident that at least part, and likely all, of the recording will be released because the city did not meet criteria for holding the meeting in secret.

“Because the action taken behind closed-doors, and in secret, was in violation of the (Colorado Open Meetings Law), the record of the discussion, the recording, and all other meeting materials must be made available for public inspection,” attorney Rachael Johnson said in previous demands to the city.

According to prior reporting from The Sentinel, a majority of Aurora’s City Council agreed in private in a closed session at the beginning of their March 14 meeting to dismiss a censure process pending against  Jurinsky.

Sentinel attorneys argue that the agreement, taken during a roll call by the mayor during the closed meeting, constitutes an illegal vote.

The city council also gave direction to city staff to work with Jurinsky’s attorney to reach a settlement to pay her legal fees.

City legal officials have argued that the roll call was an effort to solicit opinions about the censure process but no actual vote occurred, despite the agreement halting the censure from going forward. According to Councilmembers Juan Marcano and Alison Coombs, Mayor Mike Coffman asked individual council members whether they supported the process continuing, and

after a majority said they did not, the city attorney said the process would be formally halted.

Steve Zansberg, a Denver attorney who specializes in media law and president of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition, told The Sentinel that the vote needed to be public to be legitimate and was a “flagrant, black-and-white, open-and-shut violation of the Open Meetings Law.”

The censure was initiated by Marcano regarding Jurinsky’s comments on a regional conservative talk radio program in January, where she called former Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson “trash” and called for her and deputy chief Darin Parker to be removed from their posts.

Marcano accused Jurinsky of violating a council regulation that requires members to act “in a professional manner” toward city staffers as well as a section of the charter that bars council members from meddling in the appointment of employees who fall under the authority of the city manager.

Jurinsky described the censure attempt as an infringement on her First Amendment rights and retained attorney David Lane, who warned that she would consider suing Marcano and the city if the censure process wasn’t halted by March 4, later pushed back to March 14.

Sentinel reporter Max Levy originally sent a records request to the city March 18 asking for a recording of the portion of the executive session pertaining to Jurinsky’s censure. In a March 22 message, Aurora City Clerk Kadee Rodriguez denied the request, saying that the recording “is privileged attorney/ client communication and is exempt from disclosure.”

Review: Disney’s Freaky Friday the Musical

AURORA FOX FROLICS THROUGH BODY SWAPS, SONGS AND DANCE

BY CARINA JULIG, Staff Writer

The latest at The Aurora Fox Arts Center has been a long time coming, but it was well worth the wait.

The theater had just begun rehearsals for “Disney’s Freaky Friday the Musical” about two years ago when the pandemic ground show business everywhere to a halt. Now the show is up and running with a production that dazzles.

The Fox pulled out all the stops for “Freaky Friday,” which had a cast of 22, enough to cover the stage during the ensemble dance numbers. The musical is based on both the 1972 Mary Rodgers novel of the same name and the three subsequent Disney film adaptations (the most famous being the 2003 movie starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis).

The musical borrows the basic plot points of the movie — a widowed mother and her spunky teenage daughter magically switch bodies the day before the mother’s wedding to a new man and have to navigate each other’s lives as they figure out how to reverse the enchantment. The details are slightly different, however — in this adaptation the mother (Katherine Blake) runs a catering business that she hopes will get a boost from wedding publicity and the daughter (Ellie) is a struggling student trying to get her crush, Adam to notice her and her mom to let her go on a schoolwide scavenger hunt the night of the rehearsal dinner.

After switching bodies courtesy of an hourglass that Ellie’s late father left her, Katherine has to navigate high school as Ellie tries to charm a magazine reporter covering her upcoming nuptials. Along the way they have to attend a parent-teacher conference in each other’s bodies, find Ellie’s little brother Fletcher when he runs away and try to reverse

the swap before Katherine walks down the aisle. Can they do it? The plot will be familiar to many, especially those who were young in the early aughts, but the enjoyment is in watching it all unfold live on stage.

“Freaky Friday” should be appropriate for audiences of all ages, making it suitable for a family night out. Though the premise is zany and most of the plot lighthearted, it has an emotional core. The backdrop of much of the plot is the fact that Ellie hasn’t fully coped with the death of her father when she was in middle school, and unlike her little brother isn’t ready to let her mom’s fiance, Mike, into her life. Watching the family grapple with their loss as they move forward into a new chapter is genuinely touching.

But not to worry, there are plenty of comic moments too, most of them fueled by the high school drama propelling the musical. Mercifully, the young actors don’t borrow too heavily from the Disney school of acting and deliver performances that are funny and sweet without being over the top. Elton Tanega does a pitch-perfect job playing the teen heartthrob Adam and is a perfect combo of goofy and charming. Steph Holmbo might have the most fun role as Savannah, Ellie’s archenemy and stereotypical mean girl.

The most impressive acting performances are naturally those of Hannah Dotson (originally Ellie) and Sharon Kay White (originally Katherine) who have the difficult task of coming across believably as a mother and daughter while pretending to be in opposite bodies. The pair do an impressive job channeling the mannerisms of someone much older or younger than themselves for the majority of the 2-hour plus runtime.

Much of the dialogue is set to music, with the two acts containing a whopping 30 songs. The lyrics are catchy and the performers pull

off their lines and songs with equal aplomb.

The most impressive (and fun to watch) numbers are when everyone or almost everyone is on stage at the same time for an ensemble piece, which feels particularly novel after the last several years. The hardest working cast members might be the behind-thescenes crew managing props and costumes, who do an excellent job transitioning the stage rapidly between several different settings. The musical also makes use of screens built into the side walls of the theater, which project photos and videos of the cast members during some scenes. The high-tech effects weren’t a necessary component of the production and could have been slightly better integrated, but were put to humorous use several times throughout the show.

This is the last show at the Fox until the fall, when the 38th season will launch with a gala night in September. For the first time since 2020, the upcoming season will include four shows on the main stage and two one-woman performances in the Fox’s studio theater. The lineup will include “The Year of Magical Thinking,” an adaptation of Joan Didion’s stunning memoir about the sudden death of her husband, the Colorado premiere of “Toni Stone,” a play about the first woman to play baseball in the Negro Leagues and a new musical adaptation of Treasure Island.

“The past two years have pushed the boundaries of what we thought we were capable of, as individuals and as a community,” Aurora Fox executive producer Helen R. Murray said in a news release. “Our season will celebrate the strength of the human spirit with stories of the exact kind of bravery we all have shown throughout recent years and events.”

Malinalli on the Rocks at Museo De Las Americas

Now through July 23. Open noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m. on Saturday, closed Sunday and Monday. Register for tickets as www.museo.org.

How should La Malinche be remembered? An enslaved Aztec girl, Le Malinche was multilingual and therefore a crucial part of Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés’ brutal takeover of Mesoamerica. There are few records, especially from her point of view, that provide insight into the mind of La Malinche, but her legacy has become somewhat of an artistic endeavor. A major installation of inspired work at the Denver Art Museum and also now Museo De Las Americas invites the community in to decide for themselves what kind of emotion the infamous name should evoke. “If we remove the patriarchal lens and Eurocentric vantage, what we confront is a powerful presence, a woman that survived and overcame adversity,” writes curators at Museo De Las Americas. “Malinalli on the Rocks” is on display until late July.

Anybody with a perfectly imperfect family can surely relate to the hilarity that ensues when a highstrung mother switches bodies with her teenage daughter and needs to figure out how to switch back before her wedding. The early-00s Disney fans among us probably could recite almost every line of the movie that taught us Jamie Lee Curtis makes a kickass teenager and Lindsey Lohan also does music, and we don’t hate it. That energy, adapted from its first version of the 1972 book, is back — with choreography and a score by the Pulitzer Prize-winning composers of Next to Normal and If / Then — until May 22 at the Aurora Fox Arts Center. The beloved version of Freaky Friday takes the stage thanks to directorial team Kenny Moten and Trent Hines. Tickets on sale now, with shows every Thursday-Sunday until May 22.

In the span of one lifetime, mankind went from having no instances of significant flight to landing on the moon. It’s the kind of innovation that makes anything feel possible, and it’s all on display at Wings Over the Rockies through June 19. “Skyward: Breakthrough in Flight” examines all of the major milestones that have gotten us to where we are today: simultaneously curious about commercial flights to the final frontier and also wondering how Frontier could possibly give us less leg room. From the very beginning through today and what’s next for flight, you won’t want to miss the stories and artifacts collected by curators at Wings. The exhibit is on through the beginning of the summer.

Have you ever wondered what an art exhibit designed by young children would look like? Through August, the Clyfford Still museum is bringing this unique idea to life in an exhibit that was “co-created” with children across the Front Range. Clyfford Still was a leading figure in the abstract expressionist movement, and the Denver museum that houses a large collection of his work is carrying on his iconoclastic legacy with this exhibition, which is part of an initiative to welcome children into the museum. The first four galleries will feature Still’s work, with paintings hung at a low eye-level specifically for young viewers. The rest will display artwork that children from six months to eight years old from Fort Collins, Denver, Lafayette and Boulder helped curate. According to the museum website, these local children “selected and arranged their favorite artworks; shared their perspectives for the gallery and audio content; and helped design interactive activities.” Really puts a new spin on the jab that modern art is so abstract that “a child could do it.”

The term “Orwellian” gets thrown around politics a lot these days, but we’re betting those who use it could use a refresher on what the British author wrote about outside of “1984.” In “Down and Out in Paris and London” the writer reflects on a life among the cities’ poorest residents and in “Animal Farm” Orwell writes of how power corrupts the desire to be equal. Luckily, that refresher comes a bit easier than a high school sophomore reading list. You can catch a 1 hour 20 minute rendition of “Animal Farm” in Arvada through May 21. OnStage Colorado called the play “wonderfully impactful and surprising, despite the well-known source material.” All patrons must show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or provide proof of a negative test to view the dark literary satire.

LETTER PERFECT

BY CARINA JULIG, Staff Writer

In a few short weeks, Sofia Aarestad will be one of the 500-plus students to walk across the stage to graduate from Overland High School. In many ways she’s a typical Overland student, working hard to balance school, extracurriculars and family.

In another way, she’s breaking barriers. Sofia has Down syndrome, and she will be the first or one of the first people in Colorado with Down syndrome to go straight from high school to a degree-granting college program. She was accepted into the University of Northern Colorado and will begin studying finance in the school of business this fall.

Sofia and her family hope that more people will be able to follow in her footsteps.

“It’d be nice if she’s the first and not the only,” her father David Aarestad told The Sentinel.

Her trajectory is testament to the fact that expectations and opportunities for people with Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities have expanded over the past several decades. But in many cases, it’s still an uphill battle for families to get the services required for their children to succeed.

Sofia Aarestad, center, shows off her acceptance letter, May 6, while sitting at the family coffe table with her brother Brynn, left, and father David. Sofia will be the first, or one of the first, people in Colorado with Down syndrome to attend a degree-granting program straight from high school.

Remarkable school career of an Aurora girl with Down syndrome ends with a ticket to UNC in Greeley

Sofia’s success is “a happy result given what we were presented with when she was born,” David said.

At the time, David and Karen Aarestad were living in Cambridge, England. Sofia wasn’t diagnosed with Down syndrome until 24 hours after birth, when a nurse noticed something out of the ordinary. Sofia has mosaic Down syndrome, the rarest form, which means that some of her cells have an additional copy of the chromosome that causes Down and others do not.

Their first experiences with medical professionals after her diagnosis were less than stellar. Doctors told the family to prepare for her to have a difficult life.

“They said ‘you’ll be lucky if she can stock shelves,’” Karen recalled.

The family moved to Aurora when Sofia was about 20 months old. When she was 5, she started kindergarten at Polton Elementary School. They weren’t sure what to expect but wanted to give her the best shot at success that they could.

“Our mantra in education has been ‘our kids will live up to or down to our expectations,’” David said. “We always push for what would be an aggressive goal. Why can’t she do this? Why can’t she do that? What do we need to do to support the teachers so she can succeed?”

Initially, Polton used the common practice of pulling Sofia (and other special needs students) out of their regular classes to give them specialized support. David volunteered heavily at the school after being laid off from his job as a lawyer during the 2008 recession, and over time he lobbied for the school to bring additional supports into the regular classroom instead.

That shift is something advocates have been pushing for for a long time.

Michelle Sie Whitten, president and CEO of the Denver-based GLOBAL Down Syndrome Foundation, said that the best practice is for a general education teacher to teach all the students and for the curriculum to be modified as needed to meet the needs of special education students. When students are taken out of the regular classroom, their social-emotional skills suffer and they don’t learn how to interact with their peers.

“You learn from your peers what is appropriate behavior in a classroom, and they’ll never learn that if they’re just pulled out and shoved in a room,” Whitten said.

Many of the things that help students with Down syndrome — making sure they have free time during the school day, giving them plenty of advance time to prepare, structuring schoolwork around their learning style — are things that would help all kids but are “almost kind of do-or-die for kids with Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities,” Whitten said.

The foundation provides training for teachers and school staff on a case-by-case basis through the Sie Center at Children’s Hospital Colorado, which Whitten said is the only medical center in the U.S. that has a full time special education teacher.

The teacher, Jennifer Harris, will meet with school teachers and administrators at the request of individual students with Down syndrome and their families to provide targeted training and support. Whitten said the model is unique and has proven to be very effective. The Aarestads praised the GLOBAL Foundation for work they did with Sofia’s teachers when she was at Polton.

After elementary school, Sofia attended Prairie Middle School and then Overland High School, where she continued to do well in school. The family said they always planned for Sofia to go onto some type of higher education after college, whether it was a certificate program at a community college or something more, but said that seeing her excel in regular classes at the high school level gave them more confidence that she would at least be a contender for a college program.

Originally, David said they thought she would have to go to a school out of state to receive the kinds of support necessary, but recently more col-

leges in Colorado have been offering programs for students with disabilities.

The nonprofit Inclusive Higher Education has been instrumental in expanding opportunities for students with disabilities in Colorado, and lobbied for the passage of Senate Bill 196 in 2016, which created funding for pilot programs for inclusive higher education at UNC, University of Colorado Colorado Springs and Arapahoe Community College.

The programs allow students to graduate with a certificate in their area of study and provide vocational and social skills alongside academics.

Whitten said that Metro State University of Denver also has a program for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and believes that Regis will be starting one in the future. It’s a far cry from the ’70s where students with Down made headlines just for knowing how to read.

“They’re the minority but people are thinking about it more and more,” she said of higher education. Whitten said she hopes that the increase will

help K-12 schools realize this is a real opportunity for their students.

Throughout Sofia’s time in school, the Aarestads said one of their biggest challenges was trying to get the schools aligned with their own belief that Sofia would rise to the level of their expectations. She had many supportive teachers, but at the administrative level there were some people who presumed that she wasn’t going to graduate unless her classes were modified.

“I think sometimes kids with disabilities, even physical disabilities, are assumed incompetent before they’re assumed competent at things and by doing that we take away their strengths,” Karen said.

All students with disabilities are legally required to receive equitable access to education, but the quality of what’s provided often varies district by district, and even school by school.

“Parents have to push,” Karen said.

Whitten said that many times parents make significant progress in improving how their own chil-

dren’s schools operate, but those changes don’t always last once they have moved onto a different school. A more comprehensive overhaul would need to come from the top down.

At college, Sofia will receive support from the college’s disability resource center, which will coordinate her individualized education plan. Though she isn’t part of UNC’s Inclusive Higher Education certificate program, GOAL, she’ll be able to socialize with the students there so they can share experiences.

She’ll also participate in Soar, a program at UNC created several years ago to provide resources to students who might need extra support making sure that they graduate.

Soar works with first and second year students in several categories, including first-generation students and students with grades below a certain level, along with individual students like Sofia who request to take part in the program. To qualify, students must meet four to five times a semester with an academic success coach who will work with them to map out their goals and make sure they’re on track to meet them. Students also attend workshops and social events and have the opportunity to participate in a peer mentorship program.

In the three years since it started, director Christopher Freeman said Soar has served about 1,000 students. According to university data, students who participated in the program had higher first year GPAs and higher retention rates than students who were invited to participate in the program but chose not to.

The program model is part of a recent shift in higher education towards focusing as much on retention as getting students accepted to college.

“As an institution, if we admit someone we should be just as responsible for providing them the resources they need to get a degree,” Freeman

said.

It also backs up the assertion that students from many backgrounds benefit from the same types of targeted support that improve the outcomes of students with disabilities. David said that meeting with the Soar office was one of the factors that convinced them UNC would be a good fit for Sofia.

Along with schoolwork Sofia has been involved in extracurriculars throughout her time in school. Last year she served on the council at her church, Augustana Lutheran in Denver.

This year she was on the pom squad at Overland, and participated in cheer her freshman and sophomore year. During her sophomore year the team traveled to Florida for a national varsity championship, where the team placed 14th.

She was involved with Girl Scouts for a number of years, and while in middle school as part of working toward earning their Silver Award her troop got an ordinance passed in Aurora making it illegal to smoke or vape in a car while juveniles were present (the ordinance sunseted in 2020 two years after being approved). At the time, their efforts made national news.

“An uncle in Florida reached out and said ‘Sofia’s on the front of our newspaper!” Karen said.

Sofia also loves to sing. Jazz and pop are two of her favorite genres, and Katy Perry is her favorite singer — well, Perry and Overland choir teacher Philip Drozda, who is also her favorite teacher.

Drozda originally taught choir at Prairie Middle School and had Sofia as a student for sixth through eighth grade, then moved over to Overland when she was a sophomore. Drozda told The Sentinel that she’s been an invaluable member of the ensemble, and he’s proud of how far she’s come over the years.

“She’s such a wonderful, hardworking kid, she’s been a joy to have in choir all these years,” Drozda

said. “I feel very fortunate that I’ve got to watch her grow up from sixth grade until now.”

Before Sofia, Drozda said he had taught several students with Down syndrome, but none for as many years as her.

Unless they’re getting a special education license there are a lot of things teachers aren’t taught about how to teach kids with disabilities in school because there’s limited time, Drozda said. He credited Sofia for teaching him how to be a better teacher to kids with disabilities, particularly by never automatically lowering his expectations for any student.

“She has taught me that I need to check my own assumptions at the door about what a student may or not be able to do and kind of let them show me what level they can excel at,” he said. “I am grateful that I had her as a student.”

Along with UNC, Sofia applied to CU Denver, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, Arapahoe Community College, Colorado Mesa University, Metro State University and Colorado State University, and was accepted to all but CSU and CU Denver.

Colorado Mesa University and UNC were her two favorites, and she struggled to choose between the two of them but eventually went with UNC. A tour of the campus led by a very enthusiastic student guide helped tip the decision in UNC’s favor.

As a graduation present, she, her parents and younger brother will be taking a trip to Los Angeles and Pasadena over the summer. Sofia is particularly excited to tour the Paramount studio lots where her favorite TV show, “I Love Lucy,” was filmed. She’s excited to go to college, and though she’s not nervous, said she will miss being away from home.

“I’m going to miss it, and I’ll always come back,” she said.

Aurora’s contingent for the Class 5A girls state tennis tournament is large, but inexperienced.

When the dust had cleared on regional play, seven singles players and four doubles teams from three city programs earned spots in the May 12-14 tournament at Gates Tennis Center, but hardly any of them had been there before.

Regis Jesuit will have all three of its singles players and all four doubles teams in the draw, but of those 11 players, only three were there last year for coach Laura Jones’ Raiders, the champions of the Region 8 tournament at City Park.

the state tournament as did Tinsley, who has a matchup with Legend’s Taylor Eddy — who she defeated in Continental League play — in the opening round.

Two of Regis Jesuit’s doubles duos also won regional titles in the No. 1 tandem of sophomores Mary Clare Watts and Lucy Filippini along with the No. 3 team of senior Anna Neff and sophomore Elise Holt.

Watts and Filippini — who got past Rocky Mountain in three sets to win the regional — are the other two Regis Jesuit qualifiers with previous state experience, as they were there with the Nos. 3 and 4 doubles teams last season. Watts and her graduated partner won their first round match to account for one of

The Raiders feature a singles contingent of juniors Madison Wei (No. 1) and Quinn Binaxas (No. 2) as well as senior Peyton Tinsley (No. 3), all of which earned regional championships and the seeding advantage that comes with it at the state tournament.

Of that group, Wei has the only state experience as she made it last season at No. 3 singles and lost her only match. She moved up the singles ladder this season and navigated a tough season of playing in the top spot in the Continental League and made state with a regional championship victory over Denver East’s Addie Uhl.

Binaxas topped Denver East’s Isabella Massena in straight sets to earn her first trip to

the two points accumulated by the Raiders. Filippini lost her first round match at No. 4 doubles.

Neff and Holt outlasted a team from Denver East in two long sets to win the regional championship

The No. 2 team of sophomore Brenna Radebaugh and freshman Ebba Svard and the No. 4 team of senior Elise Duffield and freshman Cait Carolan go into state as runners-up for Regis Jesuit.

Grandview’s contingent is made up of No. 1 singles player Shriya Ginjupalli, a freshman, as well as senior Halia Pena at No. 2 singles.

Pena played in the No. 1 spot last season — a major challenge in the Centennial League — and came up short of qualifying for state. Moved down one spot in the lineup for coach

Jeff Ryan’s Wolves, Pena reinvented her playing style by moving away from the slug-it-out from the baseline style of most high singles players and coming forward to the net often.

The change has worked and she’s looking forward to her first state tournament, as is Ginjupalli, whose older sister played for the Wolves and qualified for state at No. 2 doubles as a senior in 2019.

Shriya Ginjupalli enjoyed the challenge of playing in the spot in a league that includes powerhouse Cherry Creek and other top singles players and believes her game is tuned up for her to perform well at state.

One Aurora player with state experience that is unable to play is Cherokee Trail No. 1 singles player Aarzoo Aggarwal, who had to forefeit the spot she earned as runner-up at her region.

Aggarwal, who played at state last year at No. 2 singles — losing her only match — had to withdraw once she found out that two of her International Bacchalaureate tests were scheduled for May 12, the opening day of the tournament.

That leaves the state contingent of sophomore No. 2 singles player Sierra Miller for coach Paul Whipple’s

Cougars.

BOYS SWIMMING

Aurora teams loaded up for 5A state meet

Fifty-three individuals and 17 relay teams from six Aurora programs will be in the water at the Class 5A boys state swim meet May 13-14 according to psych sheets released by the Colorado High School Activities Association May 10.

The Aurora Public Schools coop, Cherokee Trail, Grandview, Overland, Regis Jesuit and Smoky Hill will all be represented at the Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center and it could be a good two days for the local programs.

Swim prelims begin at 10 a.m. May 13, while the diving competition begins at 8:55 a.m. May 14 and is followed by swim finals at 4 p.m.

Regis Jesuit is in search of its 23rd all-time state championship — and first since 2018 — and has led the 5A rankings for the majority of the season. Coach Nick Frasersmith has a compliiment of 21 individual state qualifiers in addition to three relays, all of which are seeded in the top three.

Senior Gio Aguirre won last season’s state championship in the 100 yard freestyle and is seeded No. 2 in the event as he seeks to defend the title and is also seeded to make the finals in the 200 yard freestyle.

Senior Luke Dinges is seeded to do some heavy lifting for the Raiders in the 100 butterfly (in which he is seeded third) and the 100 backstroke (No. 4 seed). Senior sprint freestyle Mack Dugan is also seeded to make the championship finals in both of his individual events.

Smoky Hill has a massive contingent of 15 individuals and is particularly loaded in the 100 yard breaststroke and 500 yard freestyle. In the breaststroke, three of the top nine seeds are Buffaloes, including sophomore Daniel Yi, who comes in seeded first after he swam a time of 56.38 seconds in the prelims of the Centennial “A” League championship meet. Seniors Isaac Yi and Joshua Nieves are seeded Nos. 5 and 9, respectively, in the same event. Sophomore Jake Baker (No. 5), freshman Ian Noffsinger (No. 7) and sophomore Patrick Adams (No. 11) are all seeded to score in the 500.

Grandview is loaded in the relays — particularly the 400 freestyle (No. 4) and 200 medley (No. 5) — while freshman Oliver Schimberg is seeded third in the 100 backstroke and sixth in the 100 butterfly. Junior William Schimberg is also seeded to make a championship final heat in the 200 freestyle (No. 8).

If seedings hold, Cherokee Trail would score in all three relays, including a 400 freestyle squad that comes in at No. 4. Senior Tucker Meeks owns the top individual seed among the Cougars’ six individual qualifiers as he is seventh in the 100 yard freestyle.

The APS co-op team has two individual qualifiers in senior diver Liam Ross and junior Gavin Harding, who are all seeded to place and

score. Harding is ninth in the seedings for the 100 butterfly and 19th in the 100 backstroke, while Ross goes in with the 10th-highest score. The Penguins have a full compliment of relays qualified as well.

Overland will be represented by its 200 yard medley and 200 yard freestyle relays.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL Aurora teams ousted before final day

Aurora’s three quaifiers for the boys volleyball state tournament felt good about their chances, but Cherokee Trail, Eaglecrest and Regis Jesuit ran into some buzzsaws in play May 5-6 at Overland High School.

Third-seeded Eaglecrest and 10th-seeded Regis Jesuit both made it to the second day of the double-elimination tournament, but both were stopped in consolation matches.

Coach Chad Bond’s Raptors dropped a five-setter to Legend in

their opener, rebounded with a win over Douglas County in the consolation match before they were swept by Centennial League rival Cherry Creek, which stayed alive all the way to the state championship match. It was the rubber match between Eaglecrest and Cherry Creek, which split during the regular season. Ayden Shaw racked up 18 kills and Alfred Maiava added nine (plus 27 assists) in the final defeat for the Raptors, who finished 20-6.

Tenth-seeded Regis Jesuit led 2-1 over No. 1 Cherry Creek in its opening match, but eventually fell in five tight sets. Coach Kristi Gauss’ Raiders rebounded to take down fifth-seeded Cherokee Trail in an all-Aurora elimination match that also lasted five sets, but then got stopped in four sets by No. 2 Bear Creek in consolation play while playing without several regulars. Regis Jesuit finished 16-10 with all of its losses coming to state qualifiers.

Cherokee Trail encountered eventual state champion Discovery Canyon — which went through the entire season without dropping a set — in the first round and then lost to Regis Jesuit. Coach Mike Thom-

sen’s Cougars — who got setter Caden Cole back after he missed some late regular season matches and regional qualifying — finished 18-7.

GIRLS SOCCER Grandview, Regis Jesuit move into 5A 2nd round

Five Aurora teams qualified for the Class 5A girls soccer state tournament and two remained when the field was reduced from 32 teams down to 16 May 10.

Fourth-seeded Grandview — the only city team with a home game — and No. 17 Regis Jesuit earned first round victories, while No. 23 Cherokee Trail, No. 27 Eaglecrest and No. 32 Rangeview all lost road contests.

Coach Brian Wood’s Wolves faced a tougher test than expected from No. 29 Denver East, as the teams went into halftime at Legacy Stadium in a scoreless deadlock.

Senior Meg Gonzalez found some open space and lofted a shot from the wing that landed in the far corner of the net to put the Wolves ahead. Alexis Robinson later finished on a pass from Isa Dillehay for some insurance for Grandview.

Junior Torie Turner scored on a service from Kiana Sparrow in the closing minutes, but the Cougars (who finished the season 7-8-1) were unable to get the equalizer.

Eaglecrest’s season came to an end at 8-7-1 after a 6-0 loss to sixth-seeded Columbine at Lakewoood Memorial Field. The Raptors earned their first playoff appearance since 2013 and finished with their most wins since 2016.

GIRLS LACROSSE

Cherokee Trail rolls in 4A 1st round contest

The Cherokee Trail girls lacrosse team made its first appearance in the postseason since 2012, but looked plenty comfortable on the stage May 10.

The 10th-seeded Cougars scored 10 goals in each half of a 201 victory over 23rd-seeded Rampart at Legacy Stadium to earn its 10th win of the season and a spot in the second round. Cherokee Trail travels to play at seventh-seeded Aspen (11-4) at 5 p.m. May 12.

Sophomore Kyla Bieker and freshman Loralei Gearity led the offensive charge with four goals apiece, while seniors Kaley Bruning and Lana Howell and sophomore Aubrey Benton each had three in the big victory.

With Annalise Whitaker and Lexi Roybal taking turns in goal, Cherokee Trail had a chance for a shutout escape when Rampart scored with just over 13 minutes remaining.

BOYS LACROSSE Rangeview’s season ends in 4A 1st round

The Rangeview co-op boys lacrosse team wasn’t sure it would make the Class 4A state playoffs, but played well when it got the chance.

The Raiders received the No. 22 seed in the postseason after a 10win regular season and drew a road trip to seventh-seeded Aspen. The Skiers prevailed for a 13-8 victory that brough Rangeview’s season to an end at 10-6.

BOYS LACROSSE

Regis Jesuit seeded No. 1 in 5A state playoffs
