Irony is a dish best served bold to critics of the mainstream media
You don’t have to be a journalist to appreciate the sumptuous taste of irony.
Outside of the world of noodgey copy editors, sarcastic reporters and endlessly skeptical editors, the rest of the planet, too, enjoys a good dose of “you’ve got to be kidding.”
I’m unsure whether it’s because Mercury is in Gatorade or if it’s just the heat, or the pull of the August moon, but the social-mediaverse and headlines have been rife with double-takes.
Here are some of my recent favorites: Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Carpetbagville, is always worth a wince. This week, she posted a selfie to Xwitter, or whatever it’s called now, standing next to Florida GOP Congressperson Matt Gaetz on Primary Tuesday Day in that state.
“Watching the numbers come in with my Congressional bestie!!” Boebert yelled through multiple exclamation marks as Gaetz looked into the lens. There appears to be no one but the two of them in Gaetz’ Florida flat, on Election Night. Where most candidates attend election events as “the numbers come in,” Gaetzy and his bestie apparently have to entertain themselves. It would be remiss not to point out that Boy Bestie is under investigation by the GOP controlled House Ethics Committee for a long list of accusations. The panel stated in June it was determining whether Gaetz “engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use, accepted improper gifts, dispensed special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship, and sought to obstruct government investigations of his conduct,” according to Associated Press story cites.
Girl Bestie is not under House ethics investigation for her public prurience last year during a Beetlejuice show at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. Boebert and her one-night bestie got tossed out of the theater because she kept vaping and making sounds like she was singing and generally being Boebertine in her behavior. It wasn’t until a few days after she got forced out of the show — and threatened theater employees with a “do you know who I am” on the way out the door — that 9News got the inside theater video tape of Boebert repeatedly reaching for something she must have kept dropping in her date’s crotch. That must have been tricky to pull off while he played motorboat on her mammary glands, all during the show, until they got kicked out.
Both GOP congressional candidates repeatedly focus their messages and their mission on the Good Lord and a return to real family values.
Sometimes, the irony doesn’t come in smirks and snorts. Elon Musk sends it in what old geezer journalists like me used to call “muffin chokers.”
It was a tip of the hat to usually pageone stories that were so bizarre or heinous that the poor guy in his kitchen reading the morning paper over breakfast would proverbially choke on his morning muffin when he read the headline or lede.
Musk tosses this stuff out on his Xhitter social media machine with assembly line
frequency.
“Citizen journalism from actual domain experts and people actually on the ground is much faster, more accurate and has less bias than the legacy media!” Musk Xtwirted last week.
He’s been on a roll with slamming “legacy media” as nothing but propaganda.
This from a guy who fancies himself a “citizen journalist” telling the world the truth about things like:
“Population is collapsing rapidly,” Musk Twarted on Aug.9, referring to some nations with a sliding birth rate.
Meanwhile, in another part of the realityverse, the world population topped 8 billion last year, increasing every year it’s been counted since the early 1900s.
This is Musk’s idea of truth in citizen journalism on social media.
“Kamala is quite literally a communist,” he Xhurted on Aug. 7. His observation was based on another Xtra user who pointed out that she said “communistic” things like “equity” and “equality.”
This was about the same time that Musk and Xhitter filed a lawsuit against former advertisers that bailed from the platform after Musk commandeered it, creating a boycott.
“I strongly encourage any company who has been systematically boycotted by advertisers to file a lawsuit,” Musk wrote on Aug. 6.
This from a guy who has convinced himself that Xhatter is all and only about free speech.
“A reminder that free speech in America is special and we need to do everything possible to preserve it,” He wrote on Aug. 17.
That’s “free speech for me but not for thee,” if you think you should be able to take your advertiser dollars elsewhere when the publisher pisses you off.
Punching at the media even comes from within the media, kind of.
Case in point here is Douglas County’s Heidi Ganahl, who was once a CU regent and then GOP candidate for Colorado governor in the last election.
Ganahl did, and does, slam the mainstream media for what she says is endless liberal bias.
She really began complaining about that when the mainstream media kept asking her if she believed Trump’s “Big Lie” about his 2020 election being stolen. The questioning got more persistent when she added a publicly out election denier to her gubernatorial ticket as lieutenant governor.
“Colorado voters deserve the FULL truth, not what the media chooses to edit in order to satisfy their narrative,” she said about two years ago on her Xphitter feed after a 9News interview quoted her saying what she said.
So she started her own “media company” a few months ago, The Rocky Mountain Voice, to forever end bias in the media. Most of the website is scrapes from the area’s legacy media.
“Colorado is at a pivotal moment in time,” Ganahl wrote in January. “It’s never been more critical than now to get real, unbiased news from a reliable source.”
Here are few recent unbiased headlines from her Rocky Mountain Voice unbiased reporters:
• Rep. Boebert: ‘It’s now truly MAGA vs. Marxism’ in presidential race
• Who is Harris’ VP candidate Tim Walz?
A far Left radical, Trump campaign says
• ‘The Kamala Crash’: Trump terms market selloff as ‘preview’ of world without him in the White House
• ‘We must protect our kids’: Lundberg calls for ‘all hands on deck’ to help get initiatives to the ballot
• What’s on my ballot? A look at how voters might determine true primary progun supporters
Sounds like “fair and balanced” to me. But what do I know? I’m just an old skeptical reporter.

Special legislative session on tax relief could sidestep budget crises
Few things making up Colorado state government are as complicated and obtuse as how the state levies property taxes.
Even those who are paid to understand the state’s Byzantine property-tax structure agree.
“Complicated!” is how the state Legislature’s two top economists described it in a recent state report on how the Colorado Legislature modified tax laws earlier this year with Senate Bill 233.
Gov. Jared Polis has wisely called a special session of the Colorado Legislature in a high-stakes effort to keep two ballot initiatives from making the state’s bewildering property tax problems even worse.
The current fix, SB 233, was rushed through the end of a hectic legislative session in May. It intended to address public angst over mushrooming property taxes for homeowners and commercial property owners alike.
Colorado’s latest property tax quagmire was spurred by spiraling property values, especially in urban and resort regions. The huge property value increases were destined to result in equally large — and unfair — property tax bills.
Because property taxes are affected by myriad laws and formulas — often competing or contradictory — creating a unified method of pushing back on essentially automatic property tax increases statewide is fraught with risk.
Another problem is created by different local governments receiving property taxes at different rates and under a variety of regulations. Legislative, state administrative and local governments all agree the fiscal risk to some governments is inevitable and in some cases serious when changing property tax laws.
In trying to navigate all those obstacles with SB 233, neither business and residential property owners nor local government leaders were pleased. The state saw a net increase of more than 20% in property tax revenues, even after SB 233 reductions, according to state officials.
More than a few Sentinel readers were among those shocked to see their $3,000 annual property tax bill rise by more than $500 a year.
The result of all this was two ballot initiatives destined for the November Election. Both of the measures, Prop 50 and Prop 108, would reduce and then cap property taxes, for businesses and residents, considerably more than did SB 233.
At the same time, both measures could have a catastrophic effect on recipient governments, especially schools and higher education, state projections show.
The existing convoluted system, compounded by either of the ballot measures, creates extraordinary danger for the state.
Democrats and Polis have offered a counterproposal that would, in effect, slightly lower and cap property taxes beyond what they approved earlier this year, but that reduction and cap is considerably smaller than either of the ballot measures offer.
While the details have yet to be fully analyzed, the new Polis-Democrat proposal would be far less likely to critically impact schools and other governments. Given the certainty of negotiation between Democrats and Republicans, who suddenly have political leverage in this debate, it’s too early to make a recommendation.
Given the stakes, it was a smart move to push this into the legislative arena one more time. Republican-led counties, school districts and sheriff departments are at the same risk as others. And despite the efforts of SB 233, the reductions were too small not to lure voters toward approving one of the two ballot initiatives.
Lawmakers need to keep that in mind as they move through the special session, which Polis has called for Aug. 26.
Most voters are overwhelmed and even uninterested at this point in having to understand the mechanics of the state’s property-tax quagmire. They want shelter from higher property taxes, in the midst of still-painful inflation, and they want to ensure critical services like schools, roads and public safety don’t slide backward.
Pushing all this toward a workable compromise, Polis said he won’t sign into law whatever the special session produces unless backers of the two initiatives first pull them from the statewide ballot.
If all this fails in the special session, persuading voters statewide to turn away big property-tax cuts, however self-defeating, will be a difficult endeavor.
A great deal depends on state lawmakers and Polis avoiding a standoff and delivering the goods in less than a week.

Colorado affordable housing laws help small-businesses thrive, too
As an Aurora resident and owner of Better Days Delivery with deep roots in our community, I am grateful to our state lawmakers, including our State Rep. Iman Jodeh, for championing legislation aimed at tackling our state’s housing affordability crisis head-on. The passage of critical bills such as House bills 1152 and 1313 marks a significant step towards ensuring that every Coloradan has the opportunity to secure a stable and affordable place to call home.
At the core of our economic security and well-being lies the ability to afford a home near where we work, go to school, and build our lives. However, the soaring costs of housing have placed this fundamental necessity out of reach for far too many hardworking individuals and families across our state. Over the past decade, the price of both homes and rentals has more than doubled, leaving Coloradans burdened with exorbitant housing expenses and less disposable income for essential needs like groceries, health care, and child care.
Affordable housing solutions are not only essential for the well-being of individuals and families – they also play a key role in the success of local businesses. As a small business owner in Aurora, I understand firsthand the challenges of attracting and retaining talented employees in a competitive market. High housing costs not only strain the finances of our workforce but also limit our ability to recruit from a diverse pool of candidates. By making housing more affordable and accessible, we create a more stable and satisfied workforce, reducing turnover and ensuring that businesses like mine can thrive. Affordable housing solutions benefit us all, strengthening the fabric of our communities and laying the foundation for a prosperous future.
House Bill 1313, which was sponsored by Jodeh, will help Aurora residents continue to live and work in the communities where they grew up by building more affordable housing near jobs and transit. It will remove barriers that can displace valuable members of our community and workforce and provide financial assistance to empower our local government to meet the housing needs of our community.
House Bill 1152 addresses Colorado’s housing shortage by giving homeowners the freedom to build an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), also known as a granny flat, on their property. This increases our dwindling supply of housing and it helps people stay in their communities by providing an affordable way to help an older family member age in place or even generate extra income by renting out the ADU.
The urgency of addressing our state’s housing crisis cannot be overstated. Too many young adults find themselves priced out of the rental market, while families struggle to achieve the dream of homeownership. Seniors, who have contributed so much to our communities, are being forced to uproot their lives due to unaffordable housing options. This erodes our communities and puts our local businesses at risk as employees are forced to seek housing elsewhere.
The legislation passed by Rep. Jodeh and her colleagues represents a beacon of hope for countless Coloradans grappling with housing insecurity. Thanks to their efforts, I can rest assured that our elected representatives are doing everything they can to help our businesses and communities succeed. By investing in affordable housing solutions today, we can lay the groundwork for a more prosperous tomorrow where every Coloradan has the opportunity to thrive.

Aurora voters to determine fate of city pit-bull ban — again
PIT BULL BANS ‘FORCE PEOPLE TO MAKE REALLY, REALLY DIFFICULT DECISIONS THAT INVOLVE A LOT OF HEARTBREAK’
BY SUSAN GREENE, Sentinel Reporter in Residence
Pit bulls — meaning dogs, not politicians — will be on Aurora’s ballot this election cycle.
City voters will be asked to weigh in on whether to allow the breed, along with American Staffordshires and Staffordshire Bull terriers, back to live in Aurora after an official 16-year exile.
For those recalling that the Aurora City Council already removed these breeds from the banned animal list in Aurora, you’re right. This time, voters are being asked to allow the dogs back, legally.
November’s ballot issue follows years of municipal indecision about dogs perceived by some critics as too aggressive and unsafe for city residency.
Here’s a brief history:
Aurora’s City Council originally passed an ordinance in 2005 that established a ban on pit bulls and several other dog breeds considered by some officials as overly aggressive.
The Council in 2011 modified that ban by reducing the number of breeds it outlawed down to the three mentioned above.
Three years later, in 2014, council members voted to place an advisory referendum before the people of Aurora about whether to repeal the breed ban. Voters rejected the repeal by a 2-1
margin, continuing to outlaw pit bulls and the two other breeds.
The council later ignored that vote, saying it was only advisory. And in 2021, city council passed an ordinance repealing the breed ban at the request of pit bull lovers in the city.
That decision prompted some Aurorans to legally welcome the breed back into their homes for the first time in 16 years.
Things got more confusing later in 2021 when Aurora resident Matthew Snider sued the city for legislatively lifting the ban. He argued that the no-ban ordinance violated Aurora’s City Charter and undermined the will of voters in 2014. He asserted the city can’t repeal its ban without another referendum vote of the people.
The city, for its part, countered that Snider — a Colorado Center Party candidate who has run, unsuccessfully, for a seat in the state legislature — had no standing to file the lawsuit because he has never been injured by any of the three kinds of terriers.
The case bounced around the state judicial system, up the Colorado Court of Appeals, then back down to Arapahoe County District Court where a judge in March denied the city’s motion to throw out the case. That decision, which the city is now appealing, forced Aurora in the meantime to scrap its 2021 ordinance repealing the breed ban and
left some pit bull owners in limbo.
Mary Sarah Fairweather, the vice president of sheltering at the Dumb Friends League in Denver, said Monday that the nonprofit loves and cares for pit bulls like it does “all our other animals.” She supports the Aurora ballot measure and stands “unequivocally” against breed bans, arguing they stereotype the behavior of certain dogs when those of any breed can be overly aggressive.
“I don’t think they’re fair to the animals, I don’t think they’re fair to people who love them and are responsible pet owners,” she said. “These bans also force people to make really, really difficult decisions that involve a lot of heartbreak for families that is obviously devastating. … And they push pit bills into cities that don’t have these bans, and clog up those cities’ shelters and other resources.”
Fairweather, in the spirit of full disclosure, admitted to having once raised a beloved pit bull “who got very sick and is no longer with us.” She lives in Denver, where voters lifted that city’s pit bull ban in 2020 but imposed specific conditions to own the breed.
“If I had a landlord here in Denver who would allow me to have one, I would get another in a heartbeat,” she said.
The clerk’s office has not yet determined the number of the ballot issue.

$1.6M appropriation for Gateway Domestic Violence program reflects growing need, Crow says
Amid a statewide spike in domestic violence deaths, Aurora’s longstanding domestic-violence shelter
receives a $1.6 million congressional boost to expand programs for emergency and transitional housing for survivors.
Aurora Democratic Congressperson Jason Crow presented the funds Aug. 15 to Gateway Domestic Violence Services, which for more than 40 years in Aurora has been known better as Gateway Battered Women’s Shelter.
“Gateway is an important part of the community,” Crow told shelter
officials and supporters last week.
Shelter officials said the funds will go toward expanding a variety of services, but especially for increasing the number of crisis shelter rooms for victims by three-fold. The funding will also allow Gateway to create more critical transitional housing spaces.
Expansion of crisis housing will roll out first, Gateway officials said.
“The second phase will build a state-of-the-art transitional housing program, increasing the number of individuals served and extending their stay for successful placement into permanent housing,” Crow said in a statement.
violence statistics prompted him to push through the House appropriation.
He cited domestic violence as the leading cause of homelessness for women and families across the nation.
“The need for shelter has grown,” Crow said in a statement.
About 2 million – 3 million incidents of domestic violence are reported each year, and experts say tens of millions more go unreported.
Carter said the need for crisis housing and numerous other services in Aurora far outpaces resources for the program.

“My patriotism isn’t found in an exuberant flag collection, or how many times I type ‘Merica’ in online debates,” she said. “The truth is, I don’t engage in either one of those activities.”

Gateway Executive Director Karmen Carter and others say the need for more crisis assistance and services for those escaping abusive and violent personal relationships has grown exponentially with the growth of Aurora.
The 2023 Colorado Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board report for the previous year showed a multiyear surge in reported domestic violence attacks and fatalities attributed to domestic violence. As many as 94 people, some children, were killed in personal-violent incidents in 2022.
Current numbers were not immediately available.
Crow said daunting domestic
Crow said Gateway is a critical part of the Aurora community, offering not just safe harbor, but also in navigating issues surrounding homelessness, employment, mental health and the criminal justice system as victims.
“We all need help in some form or some shape at some time in our lives,” Crow said. “Gateway helps people that are uniquely vulnerable. You save women’s lives.”
Carter said she recently was reviewing the case of a woman who had called crisis workers previously on multiple occasions as her live-in relationship became increasingly dangerous.
Instead, Baker teaches eighth grade U.S. history at Mrachek Middle School in Aurora. There, she seeks to help students understand the nation’s founding, the vision that drove it, and the work that still needs to be done to realize its ideals.
Baker recently won a James Madison Fellowship from the James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation in Alexandria, Virginia. She’ll use the award, which pays for graduate coursework, to work toward her master’s degree in political science at the University of Colorado Denver and take a summer course on American Constitutionalism at Georgetown University.
“She no longer felt safe,” Carter said.
The woman and her children were brought into the shelter amid an extreme crisis.
Not long after, the kids were playing and laughing with other children, for the first time in a long time, Carter said.
Then she got a job, with benefits.
But she still couldn’t afford a home for her and her children.
So the woman transitioned into Gateway’s program that allows families to stay for up to 90 days.
Recently, the woman “and her two children moved into an apartment,” Carter said. “We’re so excited for her.”
All the while the woman was putting her life together after leaving her abusive life, about 200 other people called Gateway with similar crises and needs, but Gateway, at capacity, could get those people in.
“We simply cannot keep up,” Carter said.
The congressional award sought by Crow, in addition to recent funding increases from Arapahoe County, will let more people in crisis get the help they need, Gateway officials said.
In many cases, Carter said, just knowing that help exists inspires women and others trapped in abusive homes to seek help and get out.
Carter said that, in most cases, abused women finally leave their perpetrators after the seventh attempt.
More capacity just might inspire abuse survivors to leave sooner and recover faster, she said.
The Gateway appropriation is one of the 15 community projects Crow secured through the FY24 congressional funding process.

Baker talked to Chalkbeat about how her time in the Air Force influenced her approach to teaching, why an annual scavenger hunt gives her hope, and what she does to get students excited about the Declaration of Independence.
This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
Was there a moment when you decided to become a teacher?
By the time I was in eighth grade, I knew I would be a social studies teacher. My eighth grade geography teacher, Mr. Granger, would allow me to complete the daily geography question by standing in front of the class and calling on other students to help me answer the prompt. I’m sure it was super annoying for the other students, but no one volunteered, and I was highly engaged in class. That year, I realized I could hold my own while teaching eighth graders.
How did your experience in the military influence your approach to teaching?
One of the Air Force’s core values is “excellence in all we do.” This value encourages me to rise to challenges in my profession diligently. I have a high standard for myself because I know I can — and do — excel in my profession. This leads me to have high expectations for my students because, with the proper support, they can rise, engage, and learn at a high level.
Tell us about a favorite lesson to teach. Where did the idea come from?
I thoroughly enjoy it when my students analyze the Declaration of Independence. The lesson starts with an engaging hook — a modern-day breakup letter the students believe is from one of their peers. It really draws the students in because who doesn’t like drama? The letter mirrors sections of the Declaration of Independence and is simply signed “A.C.”
I have to sell the letter and stay mum as they try to figure out which one of their classmates wrote it. Finally, I reveal the letter is from the American Colonists (A.C.). The students are so angry, but I’m able to channel that energy and excitement into processing the actual document. The magic is in the brilliance of the document and students realizing we have work to do to make those ideas actualized for all Americans.
What prompted your interest in the James Madison Fellowship and your desire to further study the Constitution and the nation’s founding?
I firmly believe that America has the potential to live up to who and what we claim to be, and those ideals are in our founding documents. After studying Americans’ behavior patterns and overall civic engagement, there’s concern for the democratic republic. One of the best ways to rectify an issue is through education. The James Madison Foundation provides a fantastic opportunity for teachers to deepen their understanding, craft, and skills so that we can better prepare the future of America — our students.
Tell us about a memorable time — good or bad — when contact with a student’s family changed your perspective or approach.
Sometimes I feel frustrated by what I perceive as a lack of family engagement. However, every year that I have hosted the eighth grade Downtown Denver Scavenger Hunt, 25 to 35 parents come in to help us.
During the hunt, students are required to take at least one professional tour at History Colorado, Colorado Supreme Court, Colorado State Capitol, Denver Mint, Denver Art Museum, or Union Station. They must also find institutions, artifacts, individuals (we’ve met a couple of state representatives) that are instrumental in spreading culture and ideas, and in the administrative running of our society. Everything is worth points, so there is a winning team. Family life for many of my students is complex, and there are bar-
riers that parents have to overcome. So when that frustration creeps in, I remind myself of how parents in the community show up when I ask them to guide a group of four students around Denver.
What’s something happening in the community that affects what goes on in your classroom?
The classroom is a microcosm of several communities. Their strengths appear in the classroom, as do the challenges. The strengths are diversity and support. We have students who are refugees and others who are new arrivals to American customs and culture, so it’s humbling to watch them show each other how to use Chromebooks and navigate classroom tools.
Although the community has many strengths, there is a lack of resources. Parents work hard, but sometimes they battle economic hardships. There’s a lack of a strong support system or “village” to help meet the needs of families. Also, there are unprecedented youth mental health struggles parents have to navigate.
What are you reading for enjoyment?
At the moment, I’m loving Manisha Sinha’s ”The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic.” She places Reconstruction from 1860-1920, which includes women’s suffrage. Like, duh! It totally makes sense, whereas most historians end Reconstruction around 1877 or so. Sinha lays out several points that illustrate how different sections of society attempted to rebuild America during and after the Civil War with the aim of what W.E.B. De Bois called “abolition democracy.”

CU Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz talks DEI, the value of a liberal arts education
Just six weeks into the job, University of Colorado Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz has jumped in with both feet embracing his school spirit. As he took meetings on Tuesday, he wore a black, gold, and white pair of custom Nikes with his initials on them.
While he has embraced representing the state’s flagship institution, he’s taking a slower approach to putting his own stamp on Colorado’s largest university. He said he’s committed to ensuring that CU Boulder’s student body better represents the state, helping more students graduate, and furthering diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
Schwartz said that before he makes decisions he asks many questions and has numerous conversations — and that means he’s still evaluating.
“I’m very much in the sort of absorb and learn and ask questions
phase,” Schwartz said.
Schwartz, 59, officially replaced outgoing Chancellor Phil DiStefano, who retired after 15 years in the role, in July. He was hired in April.
Schwartz is a nuclear engineer who has worked 30 years in higher education and was hired from The Pennsylvania State University, where he worked as executive vice president and provost.
He also spent time as dean of the Penn State College of Engineering, headed a department at North Carolina State University, and worked as a faculty member at historically Black college Florida A&M University. He earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and has a doctorate
in nuclear engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Earlier this week, Schwartz sat down with Chalkbeat Colorado to discuss his short time on campus. Here’s what the new chancellor had to say:
Schwartz credits his childhood for his commitment to ensuring the school represents the state’s diverse communities and people. He grew up in a family of college academics in Evanston, Illinois, which in 1967 became one of the first northern communities in the country to desegregate its public schools.
“The diversity of experiences I had, the diversity of relationships I had, I certainly believe contributed strongly to my success,” he said.
“There is no shortage of social science that shows that diverse groups are more successful, right?”
And he wants students at CU Boulder to have that same diverse experience when they enter campus to help set them up for success.
“There’s a fundamental responsibility as a state university to represent the diversity of the state. We are the University of Colorado,” he said. “That means that we should be representative of the state. That should be a clear obligation.”
CU Boulder isn’t where it should be yet when it comes to representing the state’s share of students of color, Schwartz said. But it’s also not too

far behind representing the makeup of the state, especially in recent years.
About 68% of the school’s undergraduate students are white, based on fall 2023 enrollment numbers. That’s compared to about 66% of Coloradans who identify as white.
Meanwhile, 13% of the school’s students are Latino, and 2.8% are Black. Comparatively, state demographic data shows 22.5% of Colorado residents are Latino and 4% are Black.
Schwartz said he wants to help students of color feel welcome and safe on campus, which will in turn help attract and retain students.
“If you have cultural success and academic success, whether it’s student, faculty, or research success, you have to begin with belonging,” Schwartz said. “And if you don’t feel safe, what do you do? You want to retreat back to your home. So if you don’t feel safe, you don’t have belonging.”
And he said he plans to lean into diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives on campus. Driven by conservatives, DEI efforts have faced a national backlash, but he said he is committed to pursuing such programs lawfully.
“I think that should go without saying, but in today’s climate, that needs to be said,” he said.
He wants to communicate the value of liberal arts education
In a state with almost two jobs for every unemployed person, Colorado lawmakers have pushed to get students career education training, such as in trades and in-demand fields.
There’s also a need for workers in science, technology, engineering, and math fields. But a liberal arts education is still valuable, Schwartz said.
For instance, during the Iraq War, the United States needed more Arabic speakers, he said.
“In 1999 if a university said we’re going to ramp up their Arabic department, people would have said, that’s insane, you’re not training people for a useful job,” he said. “Well, turns out, that would have been the wrong assessment.”
There are also English majors who are leading universities or Wall Street firms, he said. The country needs trained thinkers and artists who enrich our lives, and liberal arts helps provide those tools, he said.
“I will strongly defend the need for large state universities to continue to offer the full spectrum of intellectual opportunities,” he said. “At the same time, I will also fully defend the need for folks going into career paths that don’t require college, because they’re both valuable.”

1 year after double murder in Aurora, police appeal to the public for leads
Nearly a year after the murders of Omar Williams, 25, and Kejuan Mays, 27, Aurora Police are renewing pleas for the public to help solve the case.
The double homicide occurred on Aug. 19, 2023 in an alley near the 2200 block of Galena Street in northwest Aurora.
Aurora firefighters were called to the alley that morning after residents reported an unresponsive man.
Upon arrival, they discovered the first victim, later identified as Omar Williams, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
A subsequent search of the area led investigators to a second victim, Kejuan Mays, who was also found dead from gunshot wounds a short distance away.
Investigators since then have determined that Mays and Williams had spent the previous night with friends in Downtown Denver. There were no indications of any altercations or disputes during that part of the evening.
The two men drove from Downtown in Williams’ Dodge Journey, which later became a crucial piece of evidence in the investigation, police said.
Surveillance footage obtained by Aurora detectives shows the Dodge Journey leaving the alley where the murders took place. The car was later discovered abandoned Oct. 13 at an apartment complex near East Alameda Parkway and South Kittredge Street.
Despite the find, investigators have been unable to identify any suspects or determine the events leading up to the murders.
Investigations Chief Mark Hildebrand said police are frustrated by the lack of leads and asked for the public to reveal what happened.
“The Major Crime Homicide Unit has worked diligently on this case for the last year, but we’ve reached the point where we need the public’s help to advance the investigation,” Hildebrand said in a statement. “We know somebody out there has information about this case. At least one vehicle drove away from the scene, and that person has valuable information about what happened.”
The families of the victims, especially Mays’ parents, Alonso and Felishea Bradway, say they are desperately seeking closure.
Mays, a father of a young son who turns 3 next month, was the oldest of four siblings. His mother, Felishea, made an emotional appeal for anyone with information to come forward, according to police spokesperson Joe Moylan.

— Sentinel Staff Man walking on Colfax in Aurora said he was shot by someone in a car
An unidentified man walking on East Colfax early Aug. 17 said he was shot by someone in a car that pulled alongside him and another person he was arguing with, police said.
A local hospital notified police that a man had come to the emergency department about about 3 a.m. suffering from a gunshot wound.
“According to the victim, he was involved in a physical altercation with someone while walking on Colfax” at about Dallas Street, Aurora police spokesperson Agent Matt Longshore said in a statement. “A few moments later, an unknown vehicle drove up next to him and an occupant fired a shot, grazing his abdomen.”
It’s unclear how the man made his way to a hospital.

Man who pulled gun on Aurora Burger King worker who refused drugs as payment gets 143 years
A man who was convicted of pointing a gun at an Aurora Burger King drive-thru worker who wouldn’t accept drugs for payment and later shooting at other people elsewhere the same night has been sentenced to 143 years in prison.
Prosecutors who announced the sentence Aug.14 said the drive-thru incident was the beginning of a series of crimes Eugene Robertson carried out in Aurora on Oct. 17, 2022. No one was wounded.
The employee of the Burger King near Alameda Avenue and Buckley Road told police he believed he was going to be shot and killed after turning down Robertson’s offer of a baggie of drugs. Instead, Robertson drove away and pulled up to the 7-Eleven at the northwest corner of the intersection.
DA’s office spokesman Eric Ross wrote in an email that a baggie dropped by Robertson at the 7-Eleven and recovered by police, which contained about 5 grams of methamphetamine, resembled the baggie described by the drive-thru worker.
A witness later told police that, when Robertson entered the 7-Eleven, there seemed to be “something off” about him, and that Robertson was “talking about God” and carrying a Bible with a purple cover.
Robertson and the witness got into an argument, and Robertson again drew his handgun and pointed it at the head of a store employee. Robertson then shot a television screen that was displaying surveillance camera footage of the inside of the store.
The witness ran out through a side door and retrieved his own handgun from his car. When Robertson walked outside, he started shooting at the witness, who returned fire.
Following the brief gun battle, during which neither man was hit, Robertson fled the scene.
About 15 minutes after responding to the 7-Eleven shooting and less than an hour after they were called out to the Burger King, Aurora police officers were dispatched to yet another 911 call involving Robertson, this time from a woman who reported that her friend, “Eugene,” had just shot at her apartment.
The woman said Robertson knocked on her front door, and when she refused to open it, fired at the door twice. He also shot once through a sliding glass door into the woman’s apartment, where multiple people were present.
Robertson lived in the same apartment complex, which is located less than a mile from Alameda and Buckley. Officers found the Audi that witnesses had said was involved in the two previous incidents parked nearby.
While investigating the shooting at the complex, police spotted Robertson, who tried to escape on foot by running through a bush. When he emerged from the bush, an officer shot at him and missed. Robertson was then arrested.
“During his arrest, Eugene said he was not physically hurt, but his ‘feelings were hurt,’” the affidavit said.
ertson said he had consumed marijuana and alcohol prior to encountering officers, which would have been a violation of a prior Arapahoe County court order.
“Robertson also spontaneously uttered that he was wearing white Nike tennis shoes and blue jeans prior to our arrival,” the 2021 affidavit says.
The same affidavit mentions that Robertson had previously served an 84-month sentence for felony distribution of crack cocaine, making it illegal for him to possess a firearm.
Robertson’s 2021 case remains open, while his sentencing for the recent convictions is scheduled to take place Aug. 9.
“It’s a miracle no one was seriously hurt or killed,” prosecutor Taylor McCreary said in the Thursday news release from the DA’s office.
“This defendant endangered countless lives that night by recklessly firing a gun.”

Man injured from Thursday shooting at central Aurora apartment complex
Few details were released after an unidentified man was injured by gunfire Thursday afternoon at a central Aurora apartment complex.
Police were called Aug. 13 at about 4:30 p.m. to Brandychase apartments in the 14100 block of East Colorado Drive.
“When officers arrived on scene, they located a man with a gunshot wound to the leg,” police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement Friday. “Officers set up a perimeter to try to locate and apprehend the suspects, which was unsuccessful.”
The man was taken a local hospital for treatment of what appears to be a “non-life-threatening gunshot wound,” police said in a social media post Thursday evening.
“Both the victim and multiple witnesses did not cooperate with the investigation,” Moylan said.
No suspect information in the shooting was made available.

Bicyclist struck by light-rail train in Aurora trying to ride around crossing arms
“He was a great father, and now my son will never know what it’s like to raise his child” Felshia said in a police statement. “His brothers and sister will forever miss the person they looked up to. We just want closure. Somebody has the answers we’re looking for. Somebody knows what happened to my son.”
Metro Denver Crime Stoppers
In April, a jury found Robertson guilty of 17 crimes, including eight counts of attempted murder. The sentences for many of the crimes were stacked on top of each other, leading to a long sentence. Robertson, 40, had faced a maximum sentence of more than 400 years when he was sentenced Aug. 9.
“We consider this 143-year sentence justice for the multiple victims he put in fear that night. Jurors recognized the severity of the crimes this defendant committed. We believe the judge imposed an appropriate sentence,” Eric Ross, a spokesperson for 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner, said Friday.
When questioned by police, Robertson initially provided a false name and said he didn’t know what officers were talking about when they asked about the handgun that had been used in the incidents that evening.
Officers also learned that Robertson had an outstanding warrant in connection with a March 2021 case where Robertson was allegedly involved in a vehicle crash and shooting, fled the scene, removed or lost his pants and flagged down an Aurora police officer, who arrested him on suspicion of illegally possessing a firearm.
Police wrote in the arrest affidavit associated with that case that Rob-
A bicyclist apparently trying to beat a light-rail train approaching a road crossing was struck and seriously injured Aug 14, according to Aurora police.
The crash happened at about 9 a.m. at the light-rail crossing at Sable Boulevard and Smith Road in north Aurora, police said.
The road was shut down briefly and has since reopened, police said.
“Initial details are that the bicyclist rode around the railroad crossing arms, that were down, and was struck by a passing train,” police said in a socia media post. “The bicyclist has serious injuries and was taken to the hospital.”
Police said there were no other injuries reported.

School’s back. So is ‘what’s for dinner’ angst
FALL MEANS A RETURN TO ROUTINES AND NIGHTLY DINNER STRESS. CAROLINE CHAMBERS IS HERE TO HELP
BY MARK KENNEDY, The Associated Press
You so know the drill. The day started on a run trying to get work done before getting your kids and mate out the door. Then it was new and regularly scheduled chaos all day.
You barely make it back inside at home after killer traffic when you hear the front door slam. Wait for it.
“What’s for dinner”? rings into the kitchen as you stare blankly into the refrigerator, filled with dread.
Now, there’s a book for that.
Many cookbooks are organized by ingredient — like pasta, chicken and veggies. Or by dish — mains, sides and desserts. But not the latest offering by Caroline Chambers. Her book is grouped by how long each recipe takes to cook.
“What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking” has sections for meals ready in 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes and an hour, complete with shortcut tips, slow cooker instructions, ingredient swaps and ways to bulk each dish up.
It was inspired by the daily grind: She found herself a new mother, working full time as did her husband, facing the nightly freakout about what to feed everyone.
“I think every single person is daunted by the idea of putting dinner on the table every single night for their family,” Chambers says. “That’s why we text our friends like, ‘Hey, what are your kids loving lately? What’s something you’ve cooked lately that was really good?’”
If you have an hour, Chambers shows how you can make Salmon Crunch Bowls or Sheet Pan Sesame-Ginger Steak & Peppers.
If all you have is about 15 minutes, there’s a fish dish — any fish will do — with cherry tomatoes and saffron, or a skillet dish with ground pork, Brussels sprouts and peanut butter.
Each is a complete meal, so no need to add a vegetable side from another part of the book.
Piggybacking off Chambers’ popular Substack newsletter, the cookbook comes out just as summer melts into fall, schools restart and the dreaded 9-to-5s kicks back into place.
“All of a sudden, we’re having to get back in the routines. We’re not eating chicken nuggets
at the pool anymore. We’re not eating hot dogs every single night. We are like, ‘OK, back to reality. Let’s cook a meal,’” she says.
Chambers is all about ease and flexibility. Take her Thai-inspired Coconut Curry Chicken Meatballs & Veggies — 45 minutes — that uses red curry paste and handmade meatballs. She encourages home chefs to grab Italian meatballs from the store if time is running low.
“Would a Thai cook ever use oregano? Hard pass. Would they ever use thyme? Nope, they sure wouldn’t. But those flavors can still play together really nicely and it’s going to make your night a lot easier,” Chambers says. “A little oregano in a meatball is not going to be as weird as you think it is when it’s thrown together with coconut milk.”
Her proteins include mussels, eggs, steak and scallops, and her flavors jump from North African harissa to Mexican fajitas, Asian bo ssam and Italian pesto. She thinks lentils are criminally disrespected and refried beans are the perfect thing to bind a “taco-dilla” — a cross between a taco and a quesadilla.

The 15-minute chapter offers several melty sandwiches, multiple uses for rotisserie chicken and instant ramen — cheap versions are fine, toss the flavor pouch — to which she adds tons of vegetables and pantry items like coconut milk, sesame oil, peanut butter and soy sauce.
“It doesn’t have to be fancy and it doesn’t have to be the coolest seaweed kelp noodles to taste really good and still be a nourishing meal,” she says.
Chambers, a North Carolina transplant, has enjoyed a varied career in food, opening her own catering company, Cucina Coronado, and becoming a professional recipe developer. Her first cookbook, “Just Married: A Cookbook for Newlyweds,” came out in 2017 after she got married, to George, a former Navy SEAL. The couple now have three boys.
During the pandemic, Chambers offered easy, smart meals on social media, perfect for stuckat-home readers. She created a paid Substack newsletter, thinking she’d maybe make enough for a side hustle. Think again: She’s attracted almost 20,000 paid subscribers and is the No. 1 entry on Top Food & Drink Substacks.
“I grew a really loyal audience by just showing up and giving them exactly what they needed — really quick, really easy. Everybody was sick and burnt out on cooking,” she says.
Chambers’ editor — Amanda Englander, the editorial director at Union Square & Co. — says: “Her audience has proven really loyal and really engaged. I think it’s because she’s such a genuine person but also because her recipes are also so true to how we all really are in the kitchen.”
(On the day she was contacted, Englander was letting shrimp defrost to make Chambers’ shrimp orzo skillet).
Ten of Chambers’ recipes from the newsletter have found their way into the cookbook, including one of her most popular dishes, Hella Green Pasta, which uses boiled kale and garlic, and Parmesan in the sauce.
“My kids do not touch a green vegetable, but they absolutely demolish Hella Green Pasta,” she says. “It has this insanely creamy, delicious sauce. There’s olive oil, there’s tons of Parmesan. And it’s like a pesto — pesto’s cool cousin.”

Anthony Quinn: What am I? ¿Qué soy?
Museo de las Americas is set to debut “Anthony Quinn: What am I? ¿Qué soy?” This pop-up exhibition, curated by Yolanda Fauvet, explores the life and artistry of Anthony Quinn, the first Mexican-American to win an Academy Award and a prolific visual artist.
The exhibition’s title refers to a pivotal moment in Quinn’s childhood when he questioned his identity, sparking a lifelong dialogue about his dual heritage. Curator Fauvet noted, “Quinn had an ongo-
ing dialogue with the labels being given to him as compared to his own relationship to his dual nationalities.” Fauvet finds this exploration relevant today, inspiring more inclusive conversations about identity.
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Quinn’s heritage is a recurring theme in his work. The exhibition features self-portraits and pieces from Quinn’s Tribal Series, reflecting influences from Plains Indian cultures. Museo’s Executive Director, Claudia Moran, highlighted Quinn’s ability to navigate both acting and visual arts, stating, “The artistic wealth of Anthony Quinn invites us to reflect on the adaptations we constantly undergo to fit into predetermined social models.”

AURORA COPS JOINS
‘REGIONAL APPROACH’ TO PROTECTING MIGRANTS FROM VENEZUELAN GANG CRIME
The goal is to enhance communications, share intelligence and maximize investigative resources
BY SUSAN GREENE, Sentinel Reporter in Residence, and the Associated Press
The Aurora Police Department is teaming up with state and regional law enforcement agencies to address concerns — real or perceived — about the presence of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua also known as TdA.
With the influx of some 40,000 Venezuelan migrants into metro Denver in the last two years have come claims about gang activity by certain Aurora residents and officials.
Some, for example, allegedly exaggerated the level of violence and lawlessness at a meetup of 3,000 to 4,000 migrants at an Aurora shopping center on July 28. That was Election Day in Venezuela when opposition candidate Edmundo González was expected to trounce incumbent strongman Nicolás Maduro. Maduro later declared himself the winner of another six-year term.
Some city lawmakers and others attributed — without evidence — the city’s move to shut down Aspen Grove, a decaying apartment complex in north Aurora last week to the presence of TdA gang members, The allegations were discredited by city staffers who countered that the complex was shuttered because of code violations.
At least three council members have said they do not believe their own city staffers’ reasons for forcing tenants, many of whom are newcomers from Venezuela, out of the 98-unit building.
“None of us buy that story, that this is based on a code enforcement violation,” Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky said during an Aug. 8 city council public safety committee meeting, referring to herself and council members Stepahnie Hancock and Steve Sundberg. “The three of us believe there is a huge gang problem.”
Jurinsky said that despite not having proof of claims by the building’s owner that gang members had been squatting in the building, “our opinions are not up for debate.”
Aurora police have neither confirmed nor denied the presence of TdA members in that building or elsewhere in the city, nor have they detailed what activities they may be responsible for.
“I don’t think Venezuelan gangs are a big safety concern
in the city of Aurora,” Chris Juul, the acting deputy police chief told the Sentinel last week.
The Aurora Police Department is continuing to investigate a shooting near East 12th Avenue and Dallas Street late-Sunday, noting that, “At this time, there is no information to suggest that this incident is connected to the TdA organization or its members.”
An unidentified man was critically injured by gunfire late Sunday at the complex, police said.
Dispatchers sent officers to the area of East 12th Avenue and Dallas Street after residents there reported gunfire at about 11:30 p.m.
“When officers arrived they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound,” Aurora spokesperson Agent Matt Longshore said in a statement.”He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.”
Police did not release information about a possible suspect in the shooting.
“Numerous shell casings have been located and detectives are actively investigating this incident,” Longshore said.
Police did not include in their statement that an unknown number of cars parked along the street near the apartment buidling were damaged by gunfire, as reported by 9News.
Police maintain, however, that the incident was not related to the the notorious TdA gang.
Still, in response to what it calls “concerns heard at the local, state, and national level” about TdA activity in the city, Aurora Police Department released a carefully worded news release on Monday saying it is joining a regional effort to “target crime involving migrant communities.”
Working with the Colorado State Patrol and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, metro area police departments and sheriff’s offices have formed a task force to “assist agencies throughout the region with their ongoing investigations with the goal of enhancing communications, sharing intelligence and maximizing investigative resources,” the announcement said.
“APD will not tolerate violent crime in our communities,” it noted. “We remind all community members, including members of our migrant communities, to report crimes committed against them to
their local law enforcement agencies and not remain silent victims.”
A worldwide day of protest goes virtual in Aurora Venezuelans across the world — some with flags and other patriotic paraphernalia — responded to a call from
their country’s political opposition Aug. 17 and took to the streets to defend the faction’s claim to victory over President Nicolás Maduro in last month’s disputed presidential election.
Despite concerns by Aurora police and some alarmist local anti-immigrant social media posts — made without evi-
dence — protests in Aurora and at the city’s annual Global Fest did not materialize.
City officials who produce the annual Global Fest food, music and entertainment extravaganza said it was eventful this year, but only in that the turnout was large, even for a hot day, and without incident.

SOS Venezuela, a Colorado immigrant support organization, held a “virtual” rally Aug. 17 for about two hours, allowing people from across the region to weigh in on how best to support Maduro opposition candidates and supporters.
In addition, former Venezuelan Congressman Juan Guanipa, in an interview with El Comercio de Colorado newspaper publisher Jesus Sanchez and during remarks during the SOS Venezuela broadcast, chastised the Maduro regime for ignoring the results of the election and effectively terrorizing his critics.
“We are seeing how repression does not distinguish between leaders and ordinary citizens,” Guanipa told Sanchez. Anyone who has been part of the electoral process is in danger,” he said.
Participants in the SOS Venezuela event echoed that.
“SOS Venezuela Denver says ‘Yes’ to the global call considering the desire of the entire Colorado community to participate from wherever they are, we want to make it as extensive and global as possible,” organizers said in a social media post.
Aurora has been the focus of media attention over the past month after up to 4,000 people in cars flooded a local shopping center parking lot during the July 28 Venezuelan election.
Some Aurora city lawmakers and others continue to make unproven claims that Venezuelan gangs are extensive in Aurora and wreaking havoc in the metro area.
Aurora police and other city officials insist claims of rampant gang activity are unfounded.
Despite dire warnings on social media, no rallies or gatherings materialized in the Aurora area, according to Aurora, Denver and other metro police reports.
That was not the case across the globe.
Large demonstrations in Tokyo, Sydney, Miami, Mexico City and several other cities were an effort by the main opposition coalition to make visible what they insist is the real outcome of the election. They also called on governments to throw their support behind candidate Edmundo González and express support to Venezuelans who are fearful in their home country of speaking against Maduro and his allies during a brutal repression campaign.
As thousands of Venezuelans waved the national flag, opposition leader María Corina Machado made her way through the streets of Caracas on a truck while shouting “brave” and “freedom.” Then, before a crowd, she said it was the moment “that every vote is
respected.”
“Let the world and everyone in Venezuela recognize that the president-elect is Edmundo González,” she said while being applauded by thousands of cheering supporters.
Earlier, González, the opposition candidate wrote on his X account: “They will not be able to cover up the reality of July 28: we won resoundingly.” He didn’t show up at the demonstration in Caracas.
In Mexico City’s Monument to the Revolution downtown, hundreds of people young and old alike loudly repeated the chants for “Freedom! Freedom!” that dominated the opposition’s rallies ahead of the election. “Maduro out! Maduro out!” they then screamed as motorists going by honked their horns.
“What is happening right now is that Venezuela woke up … so much so that the government doesn’t dare to show the tally sheets,” Antonia Imbernon said, referring to the voting results documents that are considered the ultimate proof of results. “What are they afraid of?”
Venezuela’s National Electoral Council, whose members are loyal to the ruling party, declared Maduro the winner of the July 28 election hours after polls closed. Unlike previous presidential elections, the electoral body has not released the tally sheets’ detailed voting data to back up its claim that Maduro earned 6.4 million votes while González, who represented the Unitary Platform opposition coalition, garnered 5.3 million.
But González and opposition leader Maria Corina Machado shocked Venezuelans when they revealed they obtained more than 80% of the vote tally sheets issued by every electronic voting machine after polls closed. The documents, they said, showed González winning by a wide margin and were uploaded to a website for anyone to see.
Machado urged supporters to print the tally sheet from their voting station and take it to Saturday’s demonstrations. In Mexico City, some held signs reproaching the decision by Mexico’s government to not participate in a Friday hearing of the Organization of American States focused on Venezuela’s election crisis.
“Mexico, we missed you at the OEA,” a sign stated using the acronym in Spanish for the regional body.
The opposition has consistently expressed the need for the international community’s help to get Maduro to accept the unfavorable results of the election.
“The derision is worse this time because there is proof; anyone can see them,” said Janett Hurtado, 57, who left Ven-
ezuela two years ago, referring to the tally sheets. “(The government) took away other elections from us again.”
Hurtado said she has noticed Venezuelans’ fear to speak against Maduro following the widespread arrests across the South American country in connection with protests sparked by the election results. She said she has friends who have not sent her a single text message since then.
Security forces have rounded up more than 2,000 people for demonstrating against Maduro or casting doubt on his claim he won a third term despite strong evidence he lost
the vote by a more than 2-to-1 margin. Another 24 have been killed, according to Venezuela-based human rights group Provea.
The spree of detentions — urged on by Maduro himself — is unprecedented, and puts Venezuela on pace to easily exceed those jailed during three previous crackdowns against Maduro’s opponents.
Those arrested include journalists, political leaders, campaign staffers and an attorney defending protesters.
Others have had their Venezuelan passports annulled trying to leave the country. One local activist even livestreamed her
arrest by military intelligence officers as they broke into her home with a crowbar.
“It pains us to see what’s happening,” said Hurtado’s daughter, Veronica Guedez, 19. “We are here to support us as brothers and sisters.”
The opposition was dealt a blow last week when Brazil and Colombia — countries that had been pressuring Maduro to release vote tallies backing his claim to victory — began suggesting a repeat of the contest instead. But Machado categorically rejected any plan to redo the election, and she said that it would be “an insult” to the people.

It was a historic, but not high-scoring debut for girls flag football in the city Aug. 17 at sun-drenched Legacy Stadium.
Less than four months after the Colorado High School Activities Association became the 12th state in the country to offer girls flag football as a sanctioned sport, Regis Jesuit and Grandview squared off on the scorching hot turf in the first official contest for area teams.
One big play made the difference in a defensive contest, as Regis Jesuit senior Catherine Eure navigated a gauntlet of defenders after catching a pass from senior Naala Barnes early in the fourth quarter as the Raiders topped the Wolves 6-0.
What turned out to be the winning series for Regis Jesuit came to start the fourth quarter on a third-down play when senior Alexiah Toval received the snap and ran towards the sideline and pitched to Barnes, who heaved it to an open Eure just before her flags were pulled.
Eure then evaded the attempts of two Grandview defenders and made it to the end zone as her flag belt came loose and started to slide off. She was mobbed in the end zone by jubilant teammates.
“I felt like we needed a jolt on offense,” Danecki said. “We called that play earlier and watched what the defense was doing, then we just tweaked one thing when we called it again. …We just had to get creative and once we got that play, the energy picked up.”
For openers
“Last year, I had a problem where I would stop running before I made it to the end zone, so I’m trying to work on that,” said Eure, who played last season when the sport was still in its pilot phase. “Honestly, I didn’t know it (the pass) was going to me, so I’m just glad I caught it and kept running.”
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor
After coach Ben Danecki’s Regis Jesuit team — which was ranked No. 9 in CHSAA’s preseason coaches poll — got on the scoreboard after the teams played 39 scoreless minutes, Eure and senior Ariel Sandoval-Reed both came up with interceptions to keep the Wolves at bay.
Among the highlights for coach Mark Fisher’s Grandview team was an interception from sophomore Brooke Sullivan. Sullivan’s big leg in the kicking game also helped the Wolves keep the Raiders from getting on the scoreboard for the first three quarters.
The score definitely ramped up the urgency in the contest, especially since the clock doesn’t stop, except in the last two minutes.
Led by senior quarterback Ivy Daniel, Grandview — which got several good plays in open space on passes to senior Kenzie Dodd — had two solid drives as it sought a tying touchdown. But harassed early and often by freshmen rushers Jasmine Lugo and Isabella Jubis, Daniel’s pass for Dodd was intercepted by Eure.
Fisher deftly used all three of Grandview’s time outs on Regis Jesuit’s subsequent possession to get the ball back with just one a minute remaining, but Sandoval-Reed leaped in the middle of the field to snare a ball intended for senior Tierra Goodgain. The Raiders then ran out the clock.
“Our defense played really good, so that’s a real positive,” Danecki said. “Our offense was moving the ball, we just had trouble finishing drives. We’ll have to tweak some things, but I’m
pleased with how we looked for a first game and we’ll try to carry that momentum forward.”
Eure — who finished with three catches for 60 yards as the leading receiver, while freshman Kaitlyn Buhler caught four passes for 42 yards as Barnes (17-for-30 for 131 yards spread the ball around — was encouraged by the growth she said.
She expects the Raiders will be better when they visit Highlands Ranch on Aug. 21.
“A lot of these games will be difficult, but that’s the process of learning,” Eure said. “When we learn, we go through hardships. That’s normal and that’s OK, we just have to remind ourselves that we’ll bounce back. …I expect us to win a lot of games this season.”
Fisher was also happy with what he saw from his Grandview team and thought it was something to build on.
“It was tough having a game that quick and jumping right in, but the girls are getting better at what we’re doing,” Fisher said. “It was good for us to see things and learn from it. …I think it was two evenly matched teams and they got us on the one trick play, but it was a lot of fun and it was great for the girls to have a game in the stadium in a good atmosphere.”
