150 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Aurora and state officially mark the day slavery ended for Black Americans

DAVE PERRY Editor

I

But the sheer sustained force of GOP U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert’s “you’re-making-that-up” eldritch is like nothing I’ve ever encountered.

Just about every single day, Boebert broadcasts sometimes dozens of freaky to creepy exclamations on Twitter or Fox TV like a pulsating Rainbird sprinkler tapped directly to the wobbling head of the long-gone Laughing Sall outside the Lakeside Amusement Park Fun House.

What boggles the mind, is that the media has either so tired of pointing out Boebert’s endless soothsayer tsunamis, or decided reporters are only making it worse by repeating or drawing attention to all that Boebert goes off on, all day, every day — without accountability.

Don’t take it from my conclusions that not only is Boebert not OK, but that allowing official members of the government to spew this stuff as if it makes sense or even hovers nears Planet Reality actually makes the media, and everyone, complicit in whatever it is that Boebert does.

Here’s just a few recent highlights:

“Dear men, you will never be woman enough to be a female.”

...

“Fact Check: Not true. Fake News. Four Pinocchios. Also… Y’all need Jesus!”

...

“There are only two genders.”

“Fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction. It’s time to aggressively address this crisis!”

“1984 called and they want their bleak, immoral, thuggish and deadly totalitarian dystopian future back.”

“It is immoral to signal to poor and desperate people to put their lives in the hands of the cartels and come here illegally. This breaks my heart. CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER!”

...

“The Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents caught nearly 4,000 migrants over the Memorial Day Weekend. More than 1,600 migrants avoided apprehension and made their way into the United States. Make no mistake, this is not a “humanitarian effort”, it’s a full-scale invasion!”

(Quoting an endorsement from the ColoradoSpringsGazette) “Boebert relates to average, hard-working Coloradans like no one we have seen... District 3 primary voters should nominate Boebert for a second term.”

...

“Take your children to CHURCH, not drag bars.”

...

“Biden trusts Ukraine with guns.

’ve seen some pretty weird stuff in almost 40 years of watching the world for a living.U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colorado. AP File photo

He trusts the Taliban with guns. He trusts the Mexican drug cartels with guns. Why doesn’t he trust law-abiding Americans with guns?”

“Pray as if it all depends on God. Live as if it all depends on you.”

...

“The same Democrats who think 18-year-olds can serve in the military but are too immature to buy guns also want 16-year-olds to vote and 6-yearsold to be able to identify as the opposite gender. Make it make sense.”

“Democrats one month ago: “Give your money to Ukraine! They need guns!” Democrats today: “None of you American peasants may own a gun.”

“You know the American education system is in trouble when teachers are praised for talking about their sex life but are fired if they dare utter the name of God.”

...

“The price of gas is higher than Hunter when he started snorting the Parmesan… and these prices are only getting higher.”

“The Archbishop of San Francisco has announced that Nancy Pelosi will be denied the Holy Eucharist. She’s likely more concerned about not being able to drink the Communion wine.”

“It took @elonmusk barely 24 hours of becoming a Republican for him to be Me Too’d. Do you see the way they play this game now?”

...

“So now the term woman is too old school for Michelle Obama and she’s decided to start using “womxn”. Yes, really. They’re erasing women right before our eyes!”

“It is official. Liberals in power

support killing a baby on the day of birth.”

“Perfect love casts out all fear. Love is fearless!”

...

“Abortion has become big business for the Left. They’re protecting their bottom line.”

“The Left thinks misgendering someone is a more heinous crime than dismembering and murdering a baby.”

“The Left has gone beyond questioning man and are now questioning the will of God. Dangerous and demonic territory.”

“If you’ve been woke all these years, you must be tired. Time to take a nap. The patriots are taking back over.”

...

“Jesus did not comply with lockdowns. Happy Easter!”

The topper to just a few weeks of mind-numbing Boebertisms? After hundreds of tweets about this kind of stuff and nothing of substance about how critical water policy is to that region, as her GOP primary election on the Colorado Western Slope nears, this gem:

“My top 3 priorities are water, water, & water. Rural CO’s water supply must be expanded, especially during times of drought. I am a champion for water policies that deliver solutions, & these projects will add thousands of acre-feet of water storage.”

When it comes to wacky and weird beyond the pale Rep. Boebert speaks for herself

Editorials Sentinel

Children of American immigrants are Americans above all

The journey in understanding how the conundrum of children brought the to the United States by undocumented immigrant parents is different from all other immigration dilemma has been too long and too hard won to abandon what is only common sense.

In just a few weeks, arguments for and against the legality of former President Barack Obama’s so-called 2012 “DACA” policy will begin in front of a federal appeals court.

Obama created the program amid great and needless controversy ten years ago this week.

Lawyers will be arguing a case ruling from Texas last year where a federal judge said Obama’s creation of the program for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is illegal.

This comes after a majority of Americans, Democrats and even a large number of Republican leaders agreed that the interests of children brought to the United States as immigrants have no other real home other than the United States rise above the politics of immigration debates.

A 2020 Pew Research poll revealed that 74% of Americans support a DACA program, including 54% of Republicans.

For years, advocates have helped Americans understand these are children caught up in a quagmire of policy and bureaucracy they are powerless to solve or even address.

In almost every case, they know no home other than the United States and they have no home other than here.

Outside of a set of paper credentials, they are no different than any other child born here or naturalized.

Obama wisely stepped around the unwinnable 2012 politics of the moment and created the DACA program by executive action, creating security for millions of American children.

Part of that long, political journey involved tabbing these children as “DREAM-ers” referring to the congressional Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act, which has repeatedly failed to pass.

While more and more Americans have understood the plight of these children and how the DREAM Act and DACA have created a palatable solution for even some of the most ardent anti-immigrant lawmakers, extremists have continued to fight.

One of the sorriest moments in U.S. History came during former President Trump’s 2018 State of the Union Address.

“Americans are dreamers, too,” he boasted, preening for the camera and his Republican fans in the House Chamber, even as he said it. He knew the line would play well with his base.

Immediately, the line was lauded by people who agreed with it, understanding Trump’s slight.

“Thank you President Trump,” Ku Klux Klan wizard David Duke said immediately in a tweet. “Americans are ‘Dreamers’ too.”

Like Trump, Duke and other teams of dedicated racists, nationalists and white supremacists believe that by lending sympathy to the country’s so-called immigrant DREAM-ers, they and the rest of America, get less. Somehow by providing support to people who have lived here almost their entire lives, documented citizens are cheated.

It makes no sense, even to a growing number of conservatives.

It’s a common theme and misconception among Trump supporters and white nationalists. They believe that if we yield sympathy and support to the Muslims, then Christians are diminished. If we stand behind equal rights for gays and transgender Americans, then straights are cheated out of — something. Minority rights mean majority wrongs in the eyes of so many Trump adherents.

DACA foes don’t understand that the thousands of “DREAMers” in Aurora, and hundreds of thousands more across the country, are every bit as American as any of the rest of us. Our Americanism doesn’t come from our credentials. It comes from our community and our allegiance to the notion that all of us are equal.

There has never been a more critical time to legislate the DACA program into permanency.

It’scowardice to ignore gun violence

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity — it’s inhumanity. The truth is: One nation under guns.”

Over the past few weeks, those words from poet and activist Amanda Gorman have been on my mind as our nation has once again been devastated by tragic, repeated outbursts of mass gun violence. 10 people died at the hands of a white supremacist gunman in a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. 21 people – including 19 children – were murdered in Uvalde, Texas. Days later, four people were murdered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. All together, the U.S. has suffered at least 246 mass shootings in 2022 alone.

Those communities join an ever-growing list, alongside now-familiar names – Boulder, Columbine, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Parkland, and our own community here in Aurora – that have been shattered by such senseless, and preventable, tragedy.

Attention-grabbing, mass shootings like these are horrifically common, each one adding a fresh layer of horror that families across the country feel every day due to gun violence, breaking communities apart and leaving devastation in their wake. I know firsthand the pain of losing a loved one to gun violence. In 2005, my son, Javad, and his fiancée, Vivian Wolfe, were murdered. Right here in Aurora, my beloved son was shot and killed – a tragic memory that has left a mark on my family forever. There are no words to explain the pain and grief I still feel every day, a pain I share with far too many. But somehow, I kept going and turned my pain into purpose – my son’s death is the reason why I ran for office and it’s the reason why I am calling for an end to this senseless violence today.

In 2020, 45,222 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S., according to the CDC. That’s more than 100 of our friends and neighbors, our parents, our siblings, and even our children who are shot and killed every single day, casualties of our nation’s obsession with guns.

And yet, shamefully, we as a society haven’t found it within ourselves to loudly proclaim that enough is enough and put an end to this senseless violence once and for all.

We’ve taken steps here in Colorado to address the problem where we can. After 10 people were killed in the King Soopers mass shooting in Boulder, we passed six gun violence prevention bills, making 2021 one of the most productive gun reform sessions in Colorado legislative history.

Those bills strengthened our background check system, further restricted those with violent records from accessing any firearms, mandated safe storage requirements, and removed the statewide preemption so that local governments could pass their own gun violence prevention ordinances.

Thanks to that work, Colorado communities have recently passed measures to ban the sale and possession of assault-style weapons, raise the minimum age for firearm possession to 21, and limit ammunition magazine sizes – measures that have been proven time and time again to prevent

gun violence.

We also established the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, which treats gun violence in communities as the public health issue that it is, and in 2019, we passed a ‘Red Flag’ law, which enables a family or household member or a law enforcement officer to petition the court for a temporary extreme risk protection order if a person poses a significant risk to themselves or others by possessing a firearm.

It remains far too easy for individuals in this country to obtain weapons that can kill so many in such a short amount of time. There is no place for assault-style weapons on our streets or in our neighborhoods, and it will take federal action to truly address this crisis once and for all.

The time to act is now. Doing nothing in the face of such utter tragedy is nothing less than an unacceptable act of cowardice. The United States is the only country in the world where this happens regularly. Allowing children to be murdered in their schools is a policy choice. Allowing our neighbors to be murdered at the grocery store is a policy choice.

It’s time to stand up to the gun lobby, and to Republicans in Congress, who are holding this country hostage and demand action on gun violence prevention. Congress must take the reins and enact real, meaningful gun safety legislation that will improve public safety and save lives. Raising the age to buy semiautomatic weapons, like the ones used in Uvalde and Buffalo, is only the first step. We must go further. We must expand background checks to keep guns out of the hands of those who pose a threat to society. We must improve our safe storage laws, so that folks who do legally own guns can do so safely and securely. We must reinstate the federal assault weapons ban, which was successful in reducing instances of gun violence in our communities before it expired.

There are any number of ways we can act to create the safer communities we deserve – the only thing we cannot do is nothing.

I am pleased to see that a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators has reached a deal to start addressing gun violence and safety. It’s an improvement that will save lives and keep guns out of the hands of those who want to harm others. I am hopeful this framework passes, and that it represents the beginning, not the end, of Congress’ efforts to reduce the staggering amount of gun violence in our country. Gun violence in America will never end completely. But this is the moment – we cannot let this opportunity go by without making real change to improve public safety – because thoughts and prayers will never stop this endless cycle of pain and suffering across our country. By taking a few commonsense steps, we can save countless lives and keep more families and communities together. My son’s life mattered. All of our kids’ lives matter – we can show this country that we value our children’s lives more than guns. Let’s prove it.

STATE SEN. RHONDA FIELDS

‘MORE THAN JUST A DAY OFF’

Proponents of pushing Juneteenth into official holiday status say it’s day to reflect on the past and the present

The Juneteenth celebration of the end of slavery has new relevance and fervor this year as both Aurora and the state have designated the day as an officials holidays, giving government workers time off to reflect on more than 150 years of emancipation.

Proponents say making June 19 an official holiday across the state and in Aurora, home to one of the largest Black communities in the state, is a victory for offering June-

teenth as a time to take stock of the progress made since the first Africans arrived in North America kidnapped and forced into slavery, and consider the work that remains to be done to achieve equality.

A handful of public celebrations are taking place across the Aurora-Denver metropolitan area this week, and The Sentinel reached out to local Black leaders to ask about the holiday’s significance for people of color:

The history behind June 19

On June 19, 1865 — more than two months after the Confederate surrender at Appomattox and two-and-a-half years after Abraham Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation — hundreds of thousands of slaves residing in Texas were officially freed.

Slaveowners had fled the South for the relative safety of Texas as the tide of the Civil War turned against the Confederacy. The Union army’s success in the South eventually left Texas as one of the last holdouts of the pro-slavery rebellion, whose forces were commanded by Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith.

As news of Lee’s surrender and other Confederate losses reached Texas, the rebel army began to disintegrate. Soldiers deserted en masse and in some cases participated in looting.

There would be no gallant last stand — on May 30, Smith wrote that he was “a commander without an army, a general without troops.” He surrendered officially a few days later. In June, Union Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger was dispatched along with 2,000 or so federal troops to formally take control of the state.

Upon arriving in Galveston, one of Granger’s first priorities was to publicize the news of the Emancipation Proclamation, by which Lincoln freed slaves kept in the 10 U.S. states that remained in rebellion at the end of 1862.

Sources disagree on how exactly Granger’s General Order No. 3 was made public, with some saying the general’s men marched through the streets, reading it in front of the Union army headquarters as well as at a customs house and courthouse, and a Black church. Others say the order was published in local newspapers without fanfare on the part of Granger or his men.

“The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free,” begins a handwritten copy of Granger’s order.

“This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor. The freedmen are advised to remain quietly at their present homes and work for wages. They are informed that they will not be allowed to collect at military posts and that they will not be supported in idleness either there or elsewhere.”

In reality, Granger’s order did not instantly free the 250,000 slaves that historian Henry Louis Gates Jr. estimates were residing in Texas at the time. Gates says the mayor of Galveston forced newly-freed Blacks back to work, and he recounts one story of a Texas woman who remained enslaved for six more years after the order was published.

Texas wasn’t even the last corner of the Union where slavery was formally abolished — the practice continued legally in Kentucky and Delaware until the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in December 1865.

But Granger’s announcement of emancipation represented a massive step toward equality for Black Americans, affirming legal rights for hundreds of thousands of people, at least on paper, for the first time in their lives.

Recognizing Juneteenth hits home

Public celebrations of Juneteenth have taken place each year since 1866 on the anniversary of the events in Galveston. Since 2020, more and more communities across the U.S. have officially embraced the Juneteenth holiday and its significance for Black Americans.

Aurora’s City Council voted earlier this year to add Juneteenth to the city’s holiday calendar. Colorado’s legislature followed suit, passing a bill sponsored by Black lawmakers, including Aurora Sen. Janet Buckner, which made Juneteenth a legal state holiday.

“A lot of Coloradans are saying, you know, the Fourth of July is important, but Juneteenth is even more important for people of color,” Buckner told The Sentinel last week. “It’s a day for people of color, but for everyone it should be a day of hope.”

For Black Americans, Juneteenth is a time to celebrate how far the nation has come in delivering on its founding promises of liberty and equality. It’s also a time for all people to reflect on the discrepancies that remain between those lofty promises and reality.

State Sen. Rhonda Fields, another member of Aurora’s Black legislative delegation, described how Texans hid the news of emancipation from their slaves.

“There was a lot of trickery done,” Fields said. “They kept those people working and harvesting the farms until they were told eventually that they were free. Some slaveowners wanted to continue to profit off the bodies and the labor of these slaves.”

“It’s more than just a day off,” she said. “It’s a day to reflect, and it reminds us that we still have work to do.”

Buckner said she received “hate mail” after the Juneteenth bill was introduced from those who questioned the importance of the holiday, which she said many Black people call “America’s second Inde-

pendence Day.”

She and Fields both said they were glad to hear that Aurora voted to recognize the holiday on an ongoing basis.

“It’s a small victory, acknowledging that back in the day that was a practice, where Black people were bought and sold as property,” Fields said.

Dexter Nelson, the Associate Curator of Black History and Cultural Heritage at History Colorado, said that the organization has evidence of Juneteenth being celebrated in Five Points as early as 1953. A local business owner named Otha Rice, who operated Rice’s Tap Room and Oven in the neighborhood, spearheaded the city’s first Juneteenth celebration.

Black Coloradans who came to the state from the South during the Great Migration are believed to have brought the holiday with them, Nelson said. Colorado wasn’t as big a migration hub as midwestern cities such as Chicago and Detroit, but Nelson said for some Black families Colorado was seen as a land of opportunity.

“It was definitely desirable,” he said.

History Colorado will be at the Juneteenth Music Festival in Denver, where it will be spreading the word about a new virtual Black history tour in the History Colorado app.

“We’re trying to create new ways we can make our content more accessible to everyone,” Nelson said.

Barbara Shannon-Banister, founder of Aurora’s NAACP and former manager of the city’s Community Relations Department, was instrumental in creating Aurora’s yearly MLK Day celebrations. Shannon-Banister said Aurora is the only city in the nation to have a weeklong observance of the civil rights hero, which is now in its 36th year.

But despite coming from a family of civil rights activists, it took Shannon-Banister many years to learn about

Juneteenth. She grew up in New Orleans, but even living in the state next to Texas she never heard anything about Juneteenth growing up. It wasn’t mentioned in any of the textbooks used in her segregated school, which were hand-me-downs from white students with the names of previous owners erased.

“In the segregated South, you didn’t speak up about those things,” she said.

It wasn’t until moving to Casper, Wyoming that she first learned of the holiday through some neighbors, who would always have a barbeque on that day. When she later moved to Aurora, her next door neighbor was from Texas and celebrated the holiday as well.

She’s glad that knowledge of the holiday and its significance is becoming more widespread, along with other aspects of Black history “because we as a community are requiring that those things happen.”

City spokesman Michael Brannen said Aurora’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plans to host a Juneteenth celebration at CU Anschutz from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday. The event will include food trucks, music and games.

On June 6, Mayor Mike Coffman also acknowledged the upcoming holiday at the start of the Aurora City Council’s weekly meeting, remarking that “celebrating Juneteenth reminds each of us of the precious promise of freedom, equality and opportunity which are at the core of the American Dream.”

“And, too, it reminds us that much work needs to be done to improve equity, inclusion and equal rights in order to overcome racism in our country and in our community,” he said.

Fields said she plans to attend the annual celebration of Juneteenth in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. Buckner also said she plans to take part in the June 20 march in the city.

Since becoming a federal holiday last year, a number of private companies are marking the day as a paid day off along with banks and government offices. Kevin Hougen, president of Aurora’s Chamber of Commerce, said that some chamber members are taking the day off but there isn’t a clear consensus yet since the federal holiday is still so new. Businesses tend to follow the direction of the city government and banks, he said. The chamber itself will be closed Monday in observance.

“This is a fairly new opportunity to celebrate,” he said.

CU Anschutz, along with the rest of the University of Colorado system, announced in May that it will give faculty and staff an additional personal day to use anytime before the end of the year.

“Recognizing holidays is an important step toward advancing our mission to be an inclusive and equitable institution and achieving the kind of transformational change we all want,” university leadership said in a message. “We still have much work to do to create an environment where everyone is included, valued, and respected.”

Juneteenth is the first new federal holiday since the creation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which was observed at the national level beginning in 1986.

For those who can’t make it to any of the official Juneteenth celebrations this week and weekend, Buckner and Fields said Juneteenth can be commemorated by reflection on the significance of emancipation and the legacy of civil rights.

“I think it’s a time of reflection, and in the United States, we have so much to reflect and improve upon,” Buckner said. “It’s a time to celebrate, and educate people, and come together, and get a better understanding of one another.”

Interim changes

TEMPORARY POLICE CHIEF DAN OATES SAYS POLICE WILL FOCUS ON STABILITY, PREVENTION AND EQUITY

BY MAX LEVY, Staff Writer

Aurora’s new interim police chief Dan Oates told an audience last week that he is committed to outreach as well as focused-policing in high-crime neighborhoods, as the city continues to grapple with what he called the “traumatic” departure of ex-chief Vanessa Wilson.

“It’s been through a lot of turmoil, as you might imagine,” Oates said of the Aurora Police Department, which he previously led from 2005 to 2014. “The departure of a chief under the circumstances under which my predecessor left is traumatic for an agency, as you might imagine, just as it’s been traumatic for the city.”

“My job is to use all of my skills and experience to sort of stabilize the environment within the police department,” he said.

Wilson was fired by City Manager Jim Twombly in early April, a decision which she alleges was politically-motivated and fueled by resentment from conservative politicians and union leaders who opposed her approach to police reform. Twombly has said the decision was made in response to unspecified failures of management by Wilson. Oates was selected to serve as interim chief later that month and began his second stint as chief in June.

One of Aurora’s state senate representatives, Rhonda Fields, led a question-and-answer session with Oates on Thursday evening, along with her daughter, Maisha. The event was held at the Dayton Street Opportunity Center in north Au-

rora, which was established in honor of Rhonda’s son and Maisha’s sibling, Javad, who was shot to death in 2005 along with his fiancee after agreeing to testify in a murder trial.

Rhonda and Maisha Fields both praised Oates for his compassion and commitment to justice as the department investigated Javad’s murder, which happened just a few miles from the center.

“When Chief Oates came on board, he said, ‘I promise you, I’m going to make sure your family has justice.’ … He said, ‘I won’t rest until we solve this case,’” Maisha Fields said. “I trust Chief Oates, and I trust him in this process and when he says that he’s going to give each and every one of us access to the department.”

“He was not only the chief of the police department in the City of Aurora, but he’s also a personal friend. And the reason I can tell you he’s my friend (is) because he cares. He cares about people, and you cannot do police work if you don’t care about the people,” said Rhonda Fields.

When pressed by attendees about his plans to tackle increases in certain crimes, a topic that he has been hesitant to address since being selected as interim chief, Oates reiterated his commitment to proactive policing as well as more community engagement.

According to information reported by the department as part of the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System, between the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, Aurora experienced a

29.9% increase in violent crimes, including murders, sexual assaults, aggravated assaults and robberies.

Police responded to 13 murders between January, February and March 2022, compared to six murders during the same time period in 2021. The number has since climbed to 20 murders so far this year, Oates said.

Motor vehicle thefts also jumped by 32.1% between the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, from 1,457 reported incidents to 1,924, according to NIBRS data.

Acen Phillips, a local pastor, asked Oates how he would engage community members to help clear cases and stem violence.

“Right now, the number one issue in Aurora and around the nation is folk killing folk,” he said. “How are you going to get us engaged? Because if we don’t get engaged, there’s no way you can do anything, because you only come after we call you, after the crime has been committed.”

Oates again expressed interest in creating a proactive policing unit modeled after New York City’s Neighborhood Safety Teams — a proposal by Mayor Eric Adams that has garnered criticism in that state for its resemblance to previous plainclothes units, which developed a reputation for violence and racial profiling in the urban communities they were meant to serve.

Oates emphasized that officers selected to serve in the Aurora unit would receive special training on topics such as de-esca-

lation and lawful search and seizure, and said community members would be invited to share concerns with officers.

“I am also aware that we’ve had challenges in this community around trying to do proactive policing. And we are being — rightfully so — we are being very carefully watched to make sure we do that in an ethical and constitutional way,” he said.

He said a unit similar to the Neighborhood Safety Teams and Aurora’s defunct Direct Action Response Teams could be established “in the next three to four weeks.”

He also blamed a lack of resources for the decline in the number of officers placed in Aurora schools, which he described as an opportunity for outreach, along with events like Thursday’s forum. Oates promised to continue to “deliver the cops to have those conversations” at future community events.

When Rhonda Fields asked how Oates would reach out to communities that did not trust police because of past incidents of excessive force, the chief said he anticipated it would take “months and perhaps years of hard work.”

“A lot of damage has been done to the reputation of the department because of our own failings in recent years,” he said.

He mentioned how the department’s consent decree mandates the collection of more information about contacts with citizens, including demographic data.

METRO City pursuing impound lot

For victims of auto theft, the roughly $200 fee that must be paid to get a recovered vehicle stolen from them out of the impound lot used by the city police is an insult added to injury.

Change may be coming after years of discussion, as council members expressed support on Monday for researching the costs of the city running its own impound lot, designed to break even rather than turn a profit.

Information included in the council’s agenda on Monday indicates that M&M Towing & Impound, which Aurora contracts with currently for impound services, collects around $975,000 in fees per year from theft victims.

“We can certainly do a lot better for our residents,” said Marcano, who supported the proposed investigation into the costs associated with a city-run lot.

While agenda documents say police can provide fee waivers on a case-by-case basis, they note that it is not financially feasible for the city to waive fees for all theft victims.

The proposal for the city to open its own lot comes as Aurora grapples with a rise in auto thefts, which rose by 32.1% between the first quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, according to data released by the Aurora Police Department.

Batchelor said other large Colorado cities such as Denver and Colorado Springs already operate their own impound lots.

“This has been looked at a number of times over the years. We’ve just never been given formal direction to proceed past a high-level exploratory phase,” Batchelor said.

If it’s passed at a regular meeting, the resolution would require the city to prepare a report within 180 days and present it to the Public Safety, Courts and Civil Service Policy Committee. The item proceeded out of study session unopposed on Monday.

Election monitor appointed in Elbert County

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold last week appointed an official to monitor this month’s primary election in a county where the clerk made copies of voting system hard drives and also named advisers to help in another county where the clerk is being prosecuted for allegedly providing unauthorized access to voting equipment.

Elbert County Clerk Dallas Schroeder turned over his copies of the hard drives to Griswold’s office after being ordered to by a judge, but an election order naming Christi Coburn as the election supervisor for the June 28 primary states that the investigation into what happens continues and officials do not believe the risk to “election security protocols” has been resolved.

Coburn, described as a “profes-

sional elections administrator” with years of experience, is charged with monitoring all decisions and actions of Schroeder and his staff during the primary election and submitting reports of any “instances of substantial noncompliance” with election laws and rules.

Elbert County will have to pay for the work done by Coburn, the order said.

Schroeder’s lawyer, John Case, declined to comment, saying he had not been able to talk to him yet about the announcement.

Meanwhile, Griswold, a Democrat, appointed former Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams and former Mesa County clerk Sheila Reiner, now the county’s treasurer, both Republicans, to serve as advisors for the primary election in Mesa County.

Last month, Judge Valerie Robison barred Clerk Tina Peters from overseeing this year’s elections there at Griswold’s request after finding that Peters and her deputy failed to follow orders of the secretary of state and election law, neglected their duties by failing to take steps to protect confidential information, and lied. She appointed the county’s election director, Brandi Bantz, to oversee this year’s elections instead.

Williams and Reiner will advise Bantz “as needed,” Griswold said. They all worked together last year after Williams was appointed to step in and oversee Mesa County elections instead of Peters.

Peters is being prosecuted for allegedly providing unauthorized access to voting equipment, a breach that led to a public release of sensitive information. She has denied the charges, calling them politically motivated.

Peters has become a hero to election conspiracy theorists following the lead of former President Donald Trump and is running for the GOP nomination for secretary of state.

The secretary of state’s office has not taken any action at this point to try to block Schroeder from overseeing elections in Elbert County, Griswold spokesperson Annie Orloff said, noting that the office is still reviewing the copies of the hard drives.

Officials have previously been appointed by the secretary of state’s office to monitor elections, most recently in 2020 when Griswold asked Eagle County Treasurer Teak Simonton to monitor the election in Mesa County when Peters was in charge. The Daily Sentinel reported that Simonton was appointed after 574 uncounted ballots from the 2019 election were found in a drop-off box during the presidential primary election in February 2020.

Election supervisors were also previously appointed in Teller and Alamosa counties, Orloff said.

Cyclist dies in heat wave

Authorities say a 52-year-old man ran out of water and died while

mountain biking in intense heat in western Colorado.

Mesa County sheriff’s officials say three other cyclists called 911 after finding the Colorado Springs man alone on mile 28 (kilometer 45) of the 32-mile Palisade Plunge trail near Grand Junction on Saturday evening. That group of cyclists had also run out of water and were treated for dehydration.

Temperatures reached a record 102 degrees Fahrenheit (39 Celsius) in Grand Junction on Saturday. Authorities have not released the name of the man who died.

Effort connecting kids with free therapy

Aurora Police Department is joining forces with other local agencies to get the word out about Colorado’s “I Matter” program, which allows children and teenagers to access six free visits with a therapist.

The department is the first in the state to partner with the program.

Joshua Nicholas, APD’s community relations manager, hopes that others will soon follow their lead.

“There’s really no reason why youth shouldn’t know about this free resource,” he said.

I Matter is the result of a 2021 law passed by state lawmakers, which was sponsored by Aurora-area state Sen. Janet Bucker and state Rep. Dafna Michaelson Jenet. The law created a new youth mental health services program in the Office of Behavioral Health and allows youth 18 years old and younger to receive free therapy visits.

“Many children have been impacted by COVID in ways that are going to have lasting scars if we don’t address them soon,” Jenet said at the bill signing last summer.

A second bill passed in the 2022 legislative session extended the program, which was originally set to expire this summer, through June

2024 and appropriated $6 million more to fund it.

According to the bill text, as of January over 1,300 therapy sessions had been conducted through I Matter.

Nicholas said the department decided to partner with I Matter after hearing about the need for youth mental health resources at a series of town halls and community events.

“It tears your heart out when you see an 8-year-old go up to a microphone and say ‘I need help,’” he said.

With the ongoing effects of the pandemic, gun violence and other stressors, there’s a lot that Aurora’s young people are facing.

“I couldn’t imagine what it would feel like to be a teen in today’s world,” Nicholas said.

The department ordered flyers, stickers and posters to promote the program in English and Spanish that it will be distributing around the city’s Parks and Rec facilities and giving to nonprofit partners to distribute. Nicholas said that anyone in the community can also reach out by contacting apdcommunity@auroragov.org and the department will send over materials free of charge by mail or can have an officer visit in person.

Along with reaching young people, the department hopes to convey to parents that their kids needing extra help isn’t a failure on their part.

“We’re trying to overcome that stigma that asking for help is a sign of weakness,” he said.

The partnership is one of APD’s efforts to support young people during the summer as the city continues to grapple with a rise in youth violence. It’s partnering with the Salvation Army to host a youth summer camp, and will be running its Global Teen Police Academy in June and July. —

Man shot in possible ‘road rage’ incident

An unidentified man was shot and wounded June 11 after what police said was a possible case of road rage in south-central Aurora.

Police closed all lanes at Chambers Road and East Evans Avenue at about 7 p.m., saying only that a man was taken to a hospital with “serious injuries,” and there was no suspect information.

The intersection and roads were reopened at about 11 p.m.

“This case is currently being investigated by our Major Crimes Unit,” police said later on social media.

Police said any witnesses who didn’t want to speak to police at the time are asked to call 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. — SENTINEL STAFF

Denver house party shooting kills 2

Two people were killed and four others were seriously wounded in a shooting at a house party in an east Denver residential neighborhood early June 12, police said.

Denver police tweeted just before 1:20 a.m. that the shooting had taken place at a home near the 4600 block of East Colorado Avenue, and no suspects were in custody by Sunday afternoon, KMGH-TV reported.

After the investigation began, “a second victim was pronounced deceased and two additional victims were located with gunshot wounds in serious condition,” Denver police said in a tweet.

A person who lives nearby told the broadcaster they were surprised by the violence.

“You never think it’s going to happen on your block because the whole block is really just super quiet and chill, lots of families and stuff,” Keegan Maselli said.

Police said anyone with information cal call 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. — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TRAIL OR SNOW

Investigators look into Denver, Aurora chase

Adams County judicial district investigators will lead the inquiry into a Denver Police car-chase into Aurora Monday evening that left four bystanders and two cops injured, and the suspect critically injured from a gunshot wound.

Events leading to the car chase began just after noon Monday when Denver Police were called to the parking lot of the Bass Pro shop in Denver’s Northfield shopping district to investigate a shooting. Information from that incident led to police looking in the region for a suspect and his vehicle.

“About 4:30 p.m., Denver Police Officers spotted this same vehicle in the area of East 46th Avenue and Tower Road,” Aurora Police Agent Matthew Longshore said in a statement. “A pursuit of that vehicle went southbound on Tower Road, merged onto eastbound Interstate 70 and finally to southbound Interstate 225.”

Denver Police chased the car into Aurora on the interstate toward Colfax.

“Just south of the East 17th Avenue exit, Denver Police Officers used a ‘pursuit intervention technique’, also known as a PIT maneuver, to disable the suspect’s vehicle,” Longshore said.

The controversial maneuver

METRO ›› METRO, from 10

During the maneuver, “multiple different vehicles were struck, but it ultimately stopped the suspect’s ability to continue fleeing,” Longshore said.

When officers approached the suspect’s crashed car, they discovered, “a man driving the vehicle, and only occupant, suffering from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” Longshore said. “There is no evidence at this time to suggest that any police officers fired their weapons.”

The unidentified man was taken to a nearby hospital and remains in critical condition.

“In total, seven vehicles were involved in the crash, and six people transported to the hospital,” Longshore said. “Of those six, two were Denver Police Officers.”

According to state law, the Critical Incident Response Team for the 17th Judicial District in Adams County was assigned to investigate the incident.

Details about injuries suffered by the bystanders were not released.

COURTS

Council mixed on hiring prosecutor

Aurora’s City Council expressed early support this week for a host of policy changes, including hiring another employee to help the U.S. Attorney’s Office pursue crimes.

Councilman Dustin Zvonek said the proposal to hire one full-time attorney and appoint them as a special assistant to the U.S. Attorney’s Office was made in response to statutory changes that make it tougher to prosecute crimes such as possession of a weapon by a previous offender outside of federal court.

“This (intergovernmental agreement) … will put a tool in our toolbelt allowing us to federally prosecute these felons in a way that the state law now does not allow us to do,” Zvonek said.

Under the terms of the proposed IGA, the locally-hired assistant would help the U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecute crimes in Aurora. No council members objected to the proposal.

However, a majority opposed another proposal to fund two more assistant district attorney positions in the 18th Judicial District to help prosecute violent crimes, specifically those addressed by the Regional Anti-Violence Enforcement Network.

“The rising rates of violent crime of course have been really alarming,” said Assistant District Attorney Tom Byrnes. “The proposal would be to increase our ability to assign prosecutors from the 18th particularly to work on the RAVEN cases.”

Funding the two attorneys’ jobs would cost the city up to $275,000 per year, according to a draft IGA between the DA’s office and the city. Mayor Mike Coffman and others questioned why the city was being approached for funding before counties.

“I’m really disappointed,” Coff-

man said. “This is the responsibility of county taxpayers, and it is unprecedented to go to a municipality and to ask for a municipality to fund what are the counties’ responsibilities.”

Coffman opposed the deal, along with council members Alison Coombs, Angela Lawson, Juan Mar-

BY MAX LEVY, Staff Writer

Ahja Fox would like a word with you, or many.

For the third time in the city’s history, Aurora will have a designated new voice. Fox is poised to become Aurora’s third poet laureate, succeeding Assetou Xango who became the city’s premiere poet in 2017.

Fox’s poetry is evocative and intimate, often focusing on the body. Her poems and prose writing have been published in print journals and anthologies as well as online.

“I think to understand the world, you have to understand yourself, and I feel like the people around me sometimes struggle with that. The more you know yourself, the better you can interpret the world,” Fox said.

“I believe anyone can use poetry as a creative outlet to speak their mind.”

Xango and the city’s first poet laureate, Jovan Mays, both participated on this year’s judging panel along with state poet laureate Bobby LeFebre, Aurora City Council member Danielle Jurinsky and representatives of the Aurora Public Library and city staff.

Mays said Fox was chosen from a field of six candidates after completing an application process, interviewing and performing an original poem about the City of Aurora.

“Ahja just did a really solid job presenting her version of Aurora, which really showcased Aurora’s diversity and how Ahja perceives the beauty of diversity,” Mays said. “Her work is really cryptically interesting and uniquely beautiful.”

Aurora’s poet laureate is tasked with promoting poetry and literature within the city as well as presenting poems at special events like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Veterans Day and Aurora’s birthday.

Fox worked previously as a managing editor for Homology Lit and as an assistant poetry editor for Copper Nickel, and has worked in multiple roles with Poetix University.

“I know Colorado like I know every inch of my own skin,” Fox wrote in her piece for the judging panel. “We are every shade of pastel with speckled hints of bold color. We smell of aspen leaves to the West as we smell of bonfire to the East.”

“I’ll admit it. I adore the downtowns and up-arounds, but the Dam Road is an exact location I can reach within my mind. ‘It is just a bridge that drives right over Cherry Creek Reservoir.’ It is just the settling pit of everyone’s dark. Whenever I drive on it, I speed a little, roll down all four of my windows like I’m queen of the god-damn town. This is me and I am this. Cold tickling an earlobe, darting sharp across an upper lip.”

Fox traces her passion for poetry back to the classrooms of her third- fifth-grade teachers at Samuels Elementary, Mrs. Wentworth and Mrs. Seeley, who she said sparked her love of reading and writing. Fox said she had been “writing poems ever since.”

At Arapahoe Community College, she took a creative writing class that cemented her love of poetry, and she decided to pursue a major in English with a focus in creative writing.

Some Colorado poets and writers that Fox said she

has drawn inspiration from include Hillary Leftwich, Stina French and Alejandro Lucero, as well as author Steven Dunn.

Fox said she heard about the poet laureate opening through a Facebook group for writers of color and mentioned how she previously met Mays at the Denver Art Museum.

“I was super inspired,” she said. “I thought, this is the sort of thing that I want to be involved in, in terms of facilitating these spaces and promoting the power of words.”

As poet laureate, Fox said she hopes to undertake more public outreach, including in Aurora’s schools, libraries and recreation centers. She also said she hopes to raise more awareness of established poetry readings and places where the public can experience the artform for themselves.

“I want to elevate existing spaces that already do this,” she said.

Mays said that, during his own tenure as poet laureate, he also focused on outreach and making poetry accessible

to more people.

“When I was in elementary school, I don’t remember meeting a poet, let alone a poet who looked like me and represented the experiences I came from,” Mays said.

“I really thought it was great that Assetou brought (another) level of professionalism to the post. And Ahja specifically carries this out to even another level,” he said. “I can see this position taking another leap significantly.”

Fox said she also hopes the role would help her grow as a poet.

“I‘m proud of being from here, but I want to avoid navel gazing,” she said. “I know I’m going to meet a lot of people and hear a lot of stories, and not only do I want to help people share their stories but also speak from a broader perspective than I have.”

Aurora’s City Council will have to vote to finalize the appointment of Fox, who said the final decision is scheduled for June 27. A subgroup of council members gave a preliminary thumbs-up on May 31.

You already know so much about beer, don’t you? Well guess what, there’s more to learn beyond the eccentricities of the triple-hops brewed barley pop they pump out of Golden. If you really want to impress your friends with your vast knowledge of all things suds, you will “hop” over to the Brewsology Brewfest this Saturday in Denver. Dozens of local breweries and cider houses will be offering around 100 options to sample. We aren’t talking penny-wheeps either, as there will be the opportunity to try recreations of ancient beers — craft classics from the days of yore, and historical favorites like Avery’s White Rascal. There will be a beer historian on site, and a “touch cart” that will hold historical beer artifacts for you to… touch. After you get your buzz on, take a stroll through the museum and enjoy what the events organizer Dan Silberstein described as a “boozy hybrid of your middle school museum field trip,”

Who’s hungry? I am. Putting pen to paper in the wee hours of Monday morning, all this hack can think about is crushing some Q.

If you suffer from the same affliction, July 9 may bring some respite to curb those desires for all the smoked meats. The 6th Annual Brew-N-Que Festival will host local barbecue vendors, as well as other culinary treats like shaved ice and churros. Not only will there be an opportunity to gluttonize yourselves with smacking-sweet sauce covered pork, chicken and beef, you can mimic a Southern version of Bacchus and throw frosty barley pops down your gullet. Since itis is real, you’ll inevitably need a seat and maybe a nap, so chairs and blankets are welcome. Sadly you can’t go full-blown REM cycle, so leave the tents and canopies at home.

Long before Aurora was a city, before Colorado was a state and before pioneers ventured across the West, 20 million to 30 million bison roamed the land. Then came the settlers, and extinction for the native grazers neared. The Lakota people called bison “tatanka,” which were an important symbol to the indigenous peoples’ culture. As a part of the Aurora History Museum’s “Mosaic of Cultures: Aurora’s Mexican Community” Artist Arturo Garcia, who was born in Jalisco, Mexico, and now owns a studio in Denver, captures the relationship between the bison and the people who first called this land home through a series of paintings. “This exhibition tells the visual story of a significant event in our nation’s history, and I am grateful to have Mr. Garcia’s work on display to share with our museum visitors,” museum director T. Scott Williams says of the exhibition.

In “Blackademics,” two Black female scholars arrive for a dinner reservation at a trendy cafe, but in this hilarious play written by Idris Goodwin their celebration takes a turn. First they debate and then battle “figuratively and literally… for a seat at the table.” Goodwin is an award-winning playwright and Colorado local, serving as the director of The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College. He’s the first Black man to hold the position in the center’s 100 year history.

Regis Jesuit returned to the top of the prep boys swimming world in the 2022 season, fueled by a group of determined seniors and others who saved their best for their last time in the pool.

Not surprisingly, the core of the team that earned the Raiders’ program a 23rd all-time state title appears on the Sentinel Colorado 2022 All-Aurora Boys Swim Team, which is based primarily on performance at the Class 5A state meet.

Wendt — a transfer in his first year with the team — was the common denominator as he swam a leg on all three relays. Aguirre, Dugan and junior Carter Anderson each were on two teams, while seniors Luke Dinges and Jacob Sykora and Krauss were each part of one.

The Raiders owned a significant lead over rival Cherry Creek in the team standings, which kept all the pressure off the 400 freestyle relay team, which finished in 3 minutes, 4.11 seconds, earning it automatic All-American honors.

Aguirre anchored the title-winning team, which swam a full 3.5 seconds faster than in prelims and finished comfortably ahead of runner-up Fossil Ridge.

Junior Harry Kerscher also earned two All-Aurora individual spots with his showings in the 100 yard backstroke (third place) and 200 yard individual medley (fifth place), the same two events he topped city competitors in last season.

Both of Kerscher’s performances in the finals were big jumps from his pre-meet seeding. He was seeded 16th in the backstroke, but swam more than three seconds faster in the final to finish in 50.36 seconds (just ahead of Dinges), while he improved by more than five seconds in the IM to move up seven spots from the No. 12 seed.

Four Regis Jesuit swimmers made the championship final of the 50 freestyle and Dugan earned the All-Aurora honors with a fourth-place result, which was a handful of spots ahead of where he was seeded pre-meet. Dugan finished a full half-second faster than his seed time.

Dinges led city competitors in the 100 butterfly after he was seeded third coming into the meet and took fourth, a two-place rise for him in the event from 2021, when he also led city swimmers in the event at the state meet. Dinges is headed to Division II Rollins College.

Krauss’ finals time of 4:38.74 was more than six and a half seconds faster than his seed time.

Senior Dylan Mullen took the All-Aurora slot in the 1-meter diving competition as he racked up a score of 493.10 points to take sixth. Mullen competed in state for the first time since 2019, when he placed 13th with a final score of 394.10.

Yi had an epic season in the 100 yard breaststroke, which was a Smoky Hill signature with three placers in the top 11 at the state meet, which helped coach Scott Cohen’s Buffaloes finish in sixth place.

Yi set the pool records in the event at several venues, won the Centennial League championship and placed third in the finals at state after coming in seeded No. 1. He earned All-Aurora honors for a second straight season.

Regis Jesuit’s three singles players and four doubles teams all performed the best at their respective positions and combined on the 2022 Sentinel Colorado All-Aurora Girls Tennis Team, which is based primarily on play at the Class 5A state tournament.

Watts and Filippini ended up playing with each other as Regis Jesuit’s top doubles team — up from Nos. 3 and 4 doubles a year ago — and the duo had an outstanding season that included a regional championship as well as the team’s only top-four state place.

Watts and Filippini won their first two matches before they were stopped by Cherry

Creek’s Vivienne Bersin and Victoria Moldovan — the eventual state championship who had also won a regular season meeting between the teams — in the semifinals. The Raiders rebounded with a consolation semifinal win, then fell to Mountain Vista’s Peyton Hostelley and Olivia Ivankoe for the second time on the season in the third-place match.

The Raiders scored 12 points to finish with their most points at the state tournament since 2018 (when they had 15) and all three singles players (Wei at No. 1, junior No. 2 Quinn Binaxas and senior No. 3 Peyton Tinsley) tallied at least one for their team. The three singles players all returned from the previous season, but all were in different positions as Wei went from No. 3 to No. 1, Binaxas dropped from No. 1 to No. 2 and Tinsley dropped from No. 2 to No. 3.

Wei and Tinsley accounted for two points apiece as both were victorious in their opening round matches as well as in playback wins when the opponent they lost to in the quarterfinals made the finals.

Wei ran into Cherry Creek star Jacqueline Pearsall in the consolation semifinals to fall a win short of playing for third place, while Tinsley — who lost to eventual state champion Jisele Boker of Cherry Creek in the quarterfinals — lost to Heritage’s Megan Johnson in the consolation semifinals. Binaxas won her first match and then dropped her next two.

Regis Jesuit’s No. 3 doubles team of senior Anna Neff and sophomore Elise Holt won a regional championship to give themselves a good position in the draw, then cruised to a 6-1 win over Arapahoe’s Maddie Malcolm and Kira Dyer in their first round match. The Raiders dropped their next two sets, however, 6-4 and 6-2 and never got a playback when the Warriors turned around and lost in the next round.

The Regis Jesuit No. 2 doubles team of sophomore Brenna Radebaugh and freshman Ebba Svard and the No. 4 team of senior Elise Duffield and freshman Cait Carolan both finished as runners-up at regionals, pitting them against champions from other regionals in the opening round.

AWARDS

Regis Jesuit’s Dallas Macias named Fred Steinmark winner

The accolades keep getting bigger for Dallas Macias after the conclusion of his senior year at Regis Jesuit High School.

The multi-sport star just led the Raiders to the Class 5A Baseball Championship Series and was named Gatorade’s Colorado Player of the Year on the diamond.

Macias’ bigger prize came last week, when he was announced as the male winner of the prestigious Fred Steinmark Award, while Amanda Licht of Kent Denver received the female award.

The Steinmark Award was established in 1972 to commemorate the all-around excellence in athletics and character of the late Fred Steinmark, who starred in multiple sports in his prep days at Wheat Ridge High School in the 1960s before he went on to play football at the University of Texas. Steinmark died of cancer in 1972, three years after helping the Longhorns win the national championship.

“Mr. Steinmark was dedicated to courage and faith, and I believe many great athletes have that in common,” Macias wrote in his application letter to the Colorado High School Coaches Association (CHSCA), which gives out the award.

“The Freddie Steinmark Award honors a man who put his team before himself and lived his life courageously through his faith,” he added. “Whatever the future holds for me, I will strive to lead and inspire others, both on and off the field much like Freddie did.”

Macias is the 52nd male winner of the award as he was selected

Both duos played competitively, but ultimately lost, as the No. 2 duo took a 6-4, 6-4 defeat from an opponent from Valor Christian and the No. 4 team fell 6-3, 6-4 to a Heritage team it had played to a third-set tiebreak during Continental League play.

ALL-AURORA GIRLS GOLF

The future looks bright for Aurora in girls golf, as only one of the five members of the 2022 Sentinel Colorado All-Aurora Girls Golf Team — which is based on results from the Class 5A state tournament — is a senior.

That one upperclassman is Devin Gilbreath, part of a contingent of three players from Cherokee Trail to make up the top fivesome along with junior Bead Boonta and freshman Kaleigh Babineaux, while the city’s top group is rounded by Eaglecrest junior Savanna Becker and Regis Jesuit junior Ella Denslow.

from a group of finalists that also included Cheyenne Mountain’s Nico Gagliardi, Limon’s Trey Hines and La Junta’s Trent Johnson. Requirements for application include a 3.0 or better GPA, a minimum of two sports played during a year and selection to 1st team all-state in one sport and minimum 1st or 2nd team all-league in another.

The 6-foot, 190-pound Macias starred in multiple roles on the football team in the fall (and was a finalist for the Gold Helmet Award) and then had a superb baseball season in the spring. Macias, an infielder, tuned up to play at Oregon State or professionally if he gets selected where he wants to be in the upcoming Major League Baseball Draft.

Outside of athletics, Macias

listed activities such as volunteering at the Winter Park Bible Sports Camp, the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Extreme Community Makeover, where he and friends spent time cleaning up communities. At Regis Jesuit, he worked with student leadership and he was selected as the winner of the Lou Kellogg Award as the school’s top male athlete.

Last year, Grandview girls basketball and volleyball star Addison O’Grady (who is now at the University of Iowa) gave Aurora another winner of the prestigious award.

Aurora’s two previous boys winners of the Steinmark Award came back-to-back in 1985 and 1986 in Rangeview’s Terry Taylor Jr. and Aurora Central’s Pat Manson.

CHSAA

Vista PEAK AD John

Sullivan hired as CHSAA assistant commissioner

The Aurora Public Schools connection to the Colorado High School Activities Association grew stronger with the addition of John Sullivan, who has been hired as an assistant commissioner to the state’s governing body.

Michael Krueger — a former APS Athletic Director — takes over as CHSAA’s new commissioner in July and his staff will now include Sullivan, who was announced as a new hire June 14 in a press release.

Sullivan is a longtime APS coach and administrator, who has most recently served as athletic director at Vista PEAK.

but she ended up 11th in play at the challenging The Olde Course at Loveland. Boonta was 13th after the opening round and shot three strokes better in the second.

Gilbreath shot one stroke higher in her second round than the opener, but still improved on her 2021 state place by five positions as the Regis University signee finished in a tie for 27th place.

“I have been lucky enough to work with some amazing people as a coach and athletic director and I look forward to expanding that work throughout Colorado,” Sullivan said in a statement. “I am beyond excited for the opportunity with the current CHSAA team and assuming my role with them.”

Before he was Vista PEAK’s athletic director, Sullivan served as the school’s head football coach — and led the program to its first-ever state playoff appearance in the spring season of 2021 — and also coached a variety of boys and girls sports at Rangeview.

Already a member of CHSAA’s Football Committee, Sullivan is now expected to take over duties overseeing the sport as well as baseball and wrestling.

“John is a veteran educator, coach and athletics and activities administrator who brings passion, experience and a humble heart to this important role,” Krueger said in a statement.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Smoky Hill hoops takes 4th at USA Games

The Smoky Hill Unified basketball team lost two heartbreakers back-to-back to finish fourth at the USA Games in Orlando, Florida, June 5-10.

The team representing Colorado at the Olympics-style event held every four years — which was made up of players and partners from Smoky Hill along with two other schools — finished 4-0 in pool play at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

In the medal round, coach Kelton Coppinger’s team dropped a two-point contest against a team from Massachusetts — which had been averaging wins by double digits previously — then lost to Florida in an overtime game in which they took a two-point lead with just over two seconds left, but lost by one on a banked in 3-pointer from midcourt as time expired.

Becker is another returning member of the All-Aurora Girls Golf Team from 2021 and she ended up as the city’s second-highest finisher in the state standings when she came in 22nd.

Coach Justin Jajcyzk’s Cherokee Trail had an outstanding season that saw it win multiple tournaments — including one in Centennial League play — with a group that included an influx of young talent around two players

with previous state experience in Boonta and Gilbreath, who are repeat All-Aurora performers.

Boonta finished in sixth place at the state tournament as a sophomore and threatened to win another medal with a top-10 finish,

Babineaux and fellow frosh Haylee Clark gave Cherokee Trail a serious boost in competitiveness and Babineaux turned in the top result of the duo at the state tournament as she tied for 38th. She finished with the same score and place as Grandview sophomore Caroline Ryan, but earned the All-Aurora nod after she made the All-Centennial League first team during the regular season along with Boonta and Gilbreath. The trio contributed to a sixthplace state finish, which led three scoring Aurora teams in the final standings and also marked a rise of three spots at state from the previous season.

The left-handed swinger surged up the leaderboard in the second round of her second state tournament as she improved by 10 strokes with an 80 that matched Boonta for the best score achieved by any of Aurora’s 13 qualifiers in either round.

Becker took over a leadership role for coach John Olander’s Raptors with the graduation of Emma Bryant, a former state champion who is now playing at the University of Denver.

Denslow was one of four Regis Jesuit players to qualify for this season’s state tournament and one of three of coach Charlie Rutenbeck’s Raiders with no previous state experience. Once she got there, she played evenly over two days. Denslow’s consecutive rounds of 90 put her in a tie for 36th place overall.

Big winner: Dallas Macias excelled on the football and baseball field during his senior year at Regis Jesuit High School and it helped earned him the prestigious Fred Steinmark Award, which has been award to a top senior who plays multiple sports with good grades and off the field work since 1972.

The activities proposed have required an Environmental Assessment under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements.

“We’ll have that information, and we’ll be able to make some assessment of policing based on that,” Oates said.

Oates also said the department was writing fewer tickets than in past years, which indicated to him that fewer traffic stops, and thus fewer questionable stops, were taking place, though he questioned whether enforcement needed to be stepped up to address a rise in traffic deaths.

Rhonda Fields asked Oates specifically about the challenges of balancing crime-fighting with the perception of overpolicing in communities of color.

“It’s not all about how we can help solve crime, because I think everyone wants to live in a safe neighborhood, and I know if I see somebody doing something wrong, I’m going to tell,” Rhonda Fields said. “But there’s some people that don’t want to get involved in that kind of activity because they’re concerned about some kind of retribution.”

The chief told Fields that he was committed to sending officers into high-crime areas. He said that, in addition to arrests, police would focus on

securing convictions for crimes and interrogating prisoners to better understand criminal networks.

“It’s a lot of hard work, and it requires good patrol policing and good detective work,” he said.

When asked what he would do to address staffing problems and turnover within the agency — the department employed 712 sworn officers in May, including 27 officers in training, out of a total billeted staff of 744, and lost a total 126 officers in 2021 — the chief said he was still analyzing the problem.

“I don’t yet have a handle on the issues around recruitment and why people have left the agency other than that the agency has been in turmoil,” he said. “That’s why I’ve said that my top priority is to somehow stabilize the organization and make officers feel good about the organization again.”

“The question is a very big question, and I don’t have any easy answers to it. The best that I can do is be myself and lead the organization as best I can, and make people feel good about it, and choose not to leave. I think I’m off to a good start in that regard.”

SCOTUS rules against Navajo Nation member

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Native Americans prosecuted in certain tribal courts can also be prosecuted based on the same incident in federal court, which can result in longer sentences.

The 6-3 ruling is in keeping with an earlier ruling from the 1970s that said the same about a more widely used type of tribal court.

The case before the justices involved a Navajo Nation member, Merle Denezpi, accused of rape. He served nearly five months in jail after being charged with assault and battery in what is called a Court of Indian Offenses, a court that deals exclusively with alleged Native American offenders.

Under federal law Courts of Indian Offenses can only impose sentences of generally up to a year. Denezpi was later prosecuted in federal court and sentenced to 30 years in prison. He said the Constitution’s “Double Jeopardy” clause should have barred the second prosecution.

But the justices disagreed.

“Denezpi’s single act led to separate prosecutions for violations of a tribal ordinance and a federal statute. Because the Tribe and the Federal Government are distinct sovereigns, those” offenses are not the same, Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for a majority of the court. “Denezpi’s second prosecution therefore did not offend the Double Jeopardy Clause.”

The Biden administration had argued for that result as had several states, which said barring federal prosecutions in similar cases could allow defendants to escape harsh sentences.

In a dissent, Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote that the case involved the same “defendant, same crime, same prosecuting authority” and said the majority’s reasoning was

“at odds with the text and original meaning of the Constitution.” The conservative Gorsuch was joined in dissent by two of the court’s three liberal justices, Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Justice Elena Kagan.

The case before the justices involves a tribal court system that has become increasingly rare over the last century. Courts of Indian Offenses were created in the late 1800s during a period when the federal government’s policy toward Native Americans was to encourage assimilation. Judges and generally prosecutors are appointed by federal officials.

Federal policy toward Native Americans shifted in the mid-1930s, however, to emphasize a greater respect for tribes’ native ways. As part of that, the government has encouraged tribes to create their own tribal courts, and the number of Courts of Indian Offenses has steadily decreased. Today there are five regional Courts of Indian Offenses that serve 16 tribes in Colorado, Oklahoma, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah. They are generally tribes with a small number of members or limited resources. Nationwide there are more than 570 federally recognized tribes.

The court said in 1978 that the Double Jeopardy clause did not bar the federal government from prosecuting a Native person in federal court after a tribal court prosecution, so the only question for the court this time was whether the rule should be different for Courts of Indian Offenses, which are sometimes called CFR courts because they have their basis in the Code of Federal Regulations.

In July 2017, Denezpi traveled with a female member of the Navajo Nation to Towaoc, Colorado, which is a part of the Ute Mountain Ute Reservation. While there, Denezpi raped the woman.

Denezpi was first charged in a Court of Indian Offenses with assault and battery, among other things. He eventually agreed to a so-called Alford plea in the case, not admitting guilt but acknowledging that prosecutors had enough evidence that he would likely be convicted at trial. He was sentenced to time served, 140 days in jail. His prosecution in federal court followed.

A lawyer for Denezpi did not immediately return an email seeking comment following the decision.

The case is Merle Denezpi v. United States, 20-7622.
