Metro residents finding fewer options for adults to spend their days when they can no longer stay home alone
Ihave solved many mysteries in my life.
I understand comma splice. I know why a martini is best stirred and not shaken. I know for certain I can do 9 mph over the speed limit anywhere on any interstate with impunity.
Well, I’m pretty certain. So far, so good.
But I have never been able to fathom why people watch sports.
It’s not that I don’t like sports. Baseball, soccer, tennis, it’s all fun. It’s fun despite the fact that my playing those sports is endless entertainment for my own spectators as well. I would not insult any girl to agree that I throw like one. However, I enjoy all kinds of activities that I suck at, like writing and being a dad.
But riding my bike as fast as I can, downhill, is nothing like watching someone else ride their bike as fast as they can, downhill.
That’s just weird.
And to watch someone ride a bike as fast as they can, on TV, or beat each other up on the scrimmage line or in front of a net on an ice rink?
That’s just really weird. And really boring.
Sure, hurl your pucky insults now.
Not only is watching most team sports as dull as whatever it is they print on the inside cover of every owners manual of every home appliance you’ve ever owned, there is no winner in baseball, football and hockey. Nobody wins, they just finally stop playing when a clock stops, or, in the case of baseball, after they do it for a while. A long while.
In a footrace somebody wins because they actually go faster than the
second-fastest runner. Baseball is the athletic equivalent of those yellow-beaked “Drinking Birds” in novelty stores. The ones made of glass tubes and bulbs that bob a little farther toward a glass, finally getting its beak wet, and then the whole thing starts all over again.
So fun.
Don’t even get me started about all the disgusting bodily things these sports animals do during games, things that always prompt a testy “Day-vid” or “Excuse me?” when I get caught doing them at home. I don’t wanna see that stuff.
I’m not the first to note that not only is baseball as dull as red paint on an old Rambler, you don’t even have to be an athlete to play. Swing hard. Hit hard. Jog a short ways. Repeat. Even the team players don’t watch each other during the games.
My pals who see wisdom in shelling out enough cash to buy a decent plane ticket somewhere say it’s really not about the game. They say it’s all about the cultural experience of being there and drinking expensive lame beer and eating expensive lame hot dogs and sitting there a while longer. Nope, longer. Not yet. Longer. And then you go home.
Or they trot out this old meme: “I go for the people watching.”
That’s like saying “I like to go to the grocery store to see cereal boxes.
To me, it all sounds like having to pay a couple hundred bucks to sit through jury duty.
Why? What did they do to sports fans when they were children that makes them think they have to do this?
It’s no small thing, that’s for sure.
Of the billions of dollars spent directly and distantly on college and pro sports, more is spent every year. There were more than 100 million tweets, just on final sporting events alone. And even more people pack stadiums to shell out hundreds to get the treatment, and no more so than at a race track. The average attendance for a NASCAR race bumps 100,000 people.
Car racing. It’s like watching traffic on I-225, only they make you pay to do it.
I’ve driven a race car. It was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done. I’ve seen part of a car race. I blacked out before the 48th lap. I came to in another state.
I just don’t get it. And it’s not just sports I don’t play that bore me. Skiing? I can watch five minutes or so. Basketball? I’m good for five minutes there. At least something happens at a clip that doesn’t make you want to scratch your mosquito bites for fun. But golf? Sweet Jesus. Curling? Swimming? Just waterboard me.
Probably attention deficit issues. Same thing causes me to realize I’m suddenly looking at my wife because she’s explaining something that I promised I would do but forgot about and then forgot again what I was listening to.
So, I’ll end this rant here, now friendless, and probably homeless when my wife reads this. I’ve got to unload some Rockpile tickets I got for Christmas so I can go biking all alone.

Texas, a state that frequently elicits pity for how residents there are so frequently the victims of odious exploits inflicted by the very people elected to serve them, increasingly is becoming a grave danger to the rest of the nation.
There’s no explaining away that women living in Texas suffered a direct in the past few years from the Republican dominated state Legislature, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and the Republican controlled U.S. Supreme Court. Texas lawmakers and Abbott succeeded have succeeded in effectively prohibiting access to safe, legal abortions in that state by enacting their so-called fetal heartbeat law.
The measure prohibits legal abortions after an embryonic pulse is detected, usually about six weeks after fertilization. Gynecologists point out that many women are unaware or uncertain of pregnancy before the arbitrary Texas clock interjects the government into a woman’s private health and reproductive decisions.
As a standard, rights bestowed women after the famous Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision center on legal abortion to a point of fetal viability, about 24 weeks.
Texas is controlled by GOP lawmakers who refute clear science and good sense on many fronts, especially when it comes the endlessly controversial issue of abortion. It’s the stated goal of everyone involved in the issue, pro-choice and pro-life alike, to reduce the incidence of abortion. But rather than accept and promote proven best practices to reduce the need for abortion, through education and access to birth control, women in Texas are abused on both fronts by the government installed there.
Texas Republicans impose their own extremist religious views on state residents, treating women’s need for birth control as a non-medical perk. While at the same time, lawmakers ensure that the need for sexual dysfunction drugs and procedures for Texas men is unabated by workplace and other insurance regulations.
Texas is a state that has worked to reduce access to Medicaid, a chief source of effective and safe birth control for indigent women, and never a source for abortion.
Texas women, and the rest of the nation, were stunned two years ago when the Supreme Court allowed Texas’ clearly unconstitutional and dangerous law to roll out. Women in Texas have been abandoned to suffer the whims of a barbaric ruling political party intent on imposing their religion and their will on millions of now helpless wives, daughters, friends and unnamed victims of sexual assault.
Businesses, government agencies and alarmed residents, in Colorado and across the country, should curtail travel and business ventures in that state. The boycott would work similarly to how the nation effectively yanked the reins on North Carolina when Republicans in that state went rogue, trampling the rights of transgender citizens in 2017.
The need for a solid Texas boycott is clear. It not only works to protect victims in Texas directly harmed by these unwarranted restrictions on women’s rights, it would serve to protect the health-care system in other states.
Women have been forced to flee Texas to receive abortion health care in Colorado.
Colorado abortion clinic officials this week point to a huge spike in healthcare services from women traveling far from restrictive states, mostly Texas.
Abandoned by the Supreme Court ending Roe vs Wade protections for women, Colorado and other enlightened states can now push back the only way it is empowered to: with economics.
State governments and businesses should shun Texas, a state driven by economics no ethics.
TOM PURCELL, GUEST COLUMNISTThere’s a reason the name “Jimmy Buffett” elicits immediate joy in the hearts of millions: happiness contagion.
A study conducted by Harvard University and the University of California followed 5,000 people for 20 years to determine if happiness was contagious.
The study’s finding: it most certainly is.
If you smile at a stranger as you hold a door open for him, you transfer a positive, happy energy that he can’t help but enjoy.
Better yet, according to Psychology Today, the study finds that the happiness you just infused in a stranger is shared by him to approximately three others, who in turn share it with others and so on.
Jimmy Buffet, who died Sept. 1 at age 76, was a master of happiness contagion — filling me with joy since I first heard of him at a “Buffet Party” in a Penn State dorm room back in the 1980s.
Buffet said that his audience worked hard all week long and it was his job to give fans two full hours of joy and have fun doing it.
He knew exactly what he was doing as an entertainer.
“It’s pure escapism is all it is,” he told the Republic. “… I think it’s really a part of the human condition that you’ve got to have some fun. You’ve got to get away from whatever you do to make a living or other parts of life that stress you out.”
For someone who portrayed himself as laid back and easy going, he was actually a happy workaholic.
He didn’t start playing guitar until his first year in college at Auburn, then promptly flunked out because he was having so much fun strumming and singing, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
He eventually graduated in 1969 with a history degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, then bounced around New Orleans and Nashville for a few years.
In 1970, while working as a reporter for Billboard, he got his first record deal — only selling 324 albums, according to the New York Times.
By 1971 he made his way to Key West, Florida, fell promptly in love with the place, moved there and began writing his Caribbean-themed songs.
In 1973 his second record release was a success and the hits began coming — culminating in 1977
with the groundbreaking “Margaritaville,” which is still one of the world’s best-known songs.
But Buffett was just getting started.
A savvy businessman would soon emerge. He took ownership of the Margaritaville brand and built a billion-dollar empire that “includes over 30 hotels and resorts and 150 restaurants, bars, and cafes,” reports Inc.
He also published a half dozen best-selling fiction, non-fiction and children’s books.
Jimmy Buffett makes me feel like a slacker, but his story is a reminder that with a little talent, a little luck and a lot of hard work, amazing things can still be achieved in America.
Better yet, his story reminds us that any of us has the power to spread happiness — something he did on a magnificent scale.
In a modern world in which so many people choose to be smug, snarky, judgmental and divisive — thank you, social media — we can all do our small part to unleash a happiness contagion through our kindness, our smiles and our eagerness to hold the door open for strangers.
Or through one of my favorite methods: Singing “Margaritaville” on Karaoke Night.

Aurora families are again looking for alternatives after the closure of LiveWell Adult Day Services, a private adult day care facility that shut down about a year and a half after the city’s own program was discontinued.
BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer
Enrolling a loved one who is unable to live independently because of Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive problems in an adult day care center tends to be more affordable than placement in a long-term care facility, making it an attractive option for middle-class families.
One projection by insurance carrier Genworth estimates a monthly cost of about $2,414 for enrolling in an adult day program in Denver, compared to $5,835 per month for assisted living and $10,665 for a private room in a nursing home.
The enrollee can also continue to live at home, while their primary caregiver is able to work during the day.
But officials and local service providers say adult day care programs, particularly those that can accommodate people with behavior problems associated with dementia, are scarce in Denver and Aurora, with the scarcity driven by a shortage of professionals working in elder care, among other factors.
“That has a larger impact on families and on women in particular, because they’re largely the caregivers,” said Jayla Sanchez-Warren, the direc-
tor of the Area Agency on Aging for the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
“If there’s nowhere for the person in your care to go during the day, your choices are either a nursing home, or you’ve got to hire someone, and that’s really costly. Or you quit your job to take care of Mom or Dad.”
Demand for elder care services is already outstripping the supply of providers working in the field. While the number of home health and personal care aides is projected to increase 25% over the course of the decade — adding close to a million jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — the population older than 65 is expected to swell by nearly 17 million.
And the Aurora area is aging along with the rest of the country. Colorado’s State Demography Office estimates the proportion of older adults in Arapahoe County will grow by 2030, with those 65 and older making up about 17.9% of the population compared to 14.4% in 2021, and adults 45 and older making up 41.1% compared to 38.9%.
“We have a huge amount of older adults and less workers than we’ve had in a long time. And that’s going to stay that way for the next 30 years,” Sanchez-Warren said.
The landscape of elder care was greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in some facilities like Aurora’s Morning Star Adult Day Program closing. The city-sponsored program was established in 1989 and offered
meals, activities and some health care services to adults over the age of 55 suffering from memory disorders and other health problems.
Morning Star first closed its doors at the start of the pandemic, along with many other facilities catering to older adults. The final decision to discontinue the program was announced in January 2022, with city staffers saying Morning Star was already grappling with late reimbursements from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and problems finding part-time and seasonal nursing assistants.
At the time, some city officials questioned how the decision was made, saying Morning Star was irreplaceable for the families that relied on it for respite and was worth the cost of restarting. Others argued that the need filled by Morning Star could be better met by the private sector.
LiveWell opened shortly after the city’s announcement. Mayor Mike Coffman wrote in a social media post at the time that the private facility was capable of accommodating up to 120 seniors at a time. But on July 10 of this year, families who relied on LiveWell for adult day services were told they had just four days to find another program.
A statement shared by spokeswoman Maryssa Baron said that “assistance was provided to anyone interested in transitioning to another adult day program in the area.” Baron did not reply to an email asking what specific assistance was offered to families looking for alternatives.
Opponents of a campaign to empower Aurora’s mayor are questioning how the city clerk arrived at her decision to throw out a written protest Monday, calling out conflicting information shared by city leaders.
Former city official Charlie Richardson challenged the petition forms that the strong-mayor campaign used
to gather signatures from registered voters to try to get the item on the 2023 ballot, saying the forms did not comply with city law.
Aurora City Clerk Kadee Rodriguez ultimately rejected Richardson’s arguments in a ruling issued Sept. 11, after that night’s Aurora City Council meeting. The city has said she was assisted
by outside legal counsel while drafting her ruling.
Prior to the final ruling being issued, about 10 minutes before an executive session that preceded the council meeting, Councilmember Curtis Gardner said interim City Manager Jason Batchelor informed him that the clerk had ruled in favor of Richardson and was prepared to throw out the petitions.
But just a few hours later, Rodriguez ruled against Richardson, standing behind the format of the petitions that her office and the office of city attorney Dan Brotzman had helped create.
Mayor Mike Coffman was closely involved in the campaign to ask voters to empower Aurora’s mayor. While Gardner did not accuse Coffman of interfering in the drafting of the ruling, he pointed out that Coffman and Rodriguez were both absent from the executive session.
Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky, who said she was seated near Gardner when he received the news from Batchelor, also questioned the discrepancy between what Batchelor said and the final ruling, and asked why Coffman and Rodriguez weren’t present for the session, calling the events “very strange.”
“Where was Coffman? (This is) just speculation, but was he off bullying Kadee?,” Jurinsky asked. “He just always feels so sneaky. Who the hell knows what’s going on? And it seemed like everything just changed. Like, in the blink of an eye.”
Coffman later said he recused
himself from the executive session because it concerned the hiring of a permanent city manager, and the strong-mayor campaign still hopes to bring the matter before voters in 2025, as 2023 deadlines have passed.
“I never had any communications, written or oral, with the clerk over the ballot initiative but I assume that she had communications with the individual who was responsible for turning the petitions as well as with the lawyer for the ballot initiative who had to procedurally represent the interest of the initiative’s proponents before her,” he wrote in response to the question of whether he or anyone with the strong-mayor campaign had conferred with the clerk about her ruling between the time of the Aug. 30 hearing and Monday night.
The measure failed to make the November ballot because of a timing issue, which proponents say was caused by protests of the measure.
While Gardner said Batchelor told him the information came from a draft news release, Batchelor later said that he was relaying what other city employees, whose names he could not recall, told him.
“What I had heard was that they were going to rule against the proponents (and) that the signatures were invalid,” Batchelor said. “I was relaying information that I heard third hand; I had not spoken with Kadee. … You caught me participating in the City Hall rumor mill, so it is true that (Gardner) heard it from me, but I had nothing official.”

Batchelor said that, in retrospect, he believed he should not have shared the unverified information with Gardner.
Councilmember Alison Coombs said she had been told by Brotzman that Rodriguez was absent from the public portion of Monday’s council meeting because she was finalizing the ruling.
The city did not immediately respond to an email including questions about the strong-mayor campaign’s contact with the city clerk and attorney’s offices since the Aug. 30 hearing.
Richardson said the opponents of the campaign have submitted open-records requests to try to better understand the decision-making process behind the clerk’s ruling. (The Sentinel has separately submitted a similar request.) He said he believed the fact that it took the city until the deadline to produce a ruling reflected some interference in the process.
“The fact that there was some bizarre behavior last night is indicative of some monkey business going on, but I don’t want to disparage monkeys,” he said.
The city clerk on Monday ruled against the opponents of a proposal to empower the city’s mayor, saying the petitions used to collect signatures from registered voters to get the proposal on the ballot are acceptable under city law.
The campaign has announced that it is no longer seeking to bring the matter before voters in 2023, with some key deadlines having been missed. However, supporters say they plan to resume the campaign and bring the proposal back for a vote in 2025. Whether they are allowed to do this under applicable election law remains to be seen.
Richardson said earlier in the week that opponents have yet to decide what they want to do in response to the clerk’s ruling.
“We’re disappointed,” he said. “Obviously. It was a tall mountain to climb, to ask the city clerk to invalidate the petition when she approved everything at the outset.”
Rodriguez ruled on Richardson’s protest even though it had to do with whether the petition created by her office and the city attorney’s office complied with city code.
When asked how the city would mitigate potential conflicts of interest in the case, city spokesman Ryan Luby previously said that the city had hired outside legal counsel to assist during the hearings but that they were “bound by city code which states that the city clerk is the hearing officer who must issue written decisions on the hearings.”
Suzanne Taheri, an attorney representing the strong-mayor campaign, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the clerk’s ruling.
In the protest and at a hearing Aug. 30, attorney Mark Grueskin argued on behalf of Richardson that the pages signed by voters were invalid because they didn’t include a summary of the proposal and a warning identifying who was eligible to sign and directing voters to read the language of the amendment or the summary.
While Rodriguez wrote in her ruling that Richardson’s arguments had been “persuasive,” she ultimately found that Richardson “did not meet his burden of proving the petition is insufficient as required in Section 54 146 of the Aurora City Code regarding the printing of the warning and summary.”
She similarly dismissed opponents’ objection to voters’ city of residence not being included in the area of the signatures pages where they wrote their addresses, calling it “hyper-technical” and saying she had been able to verify that those people were registered electors using the other information in the petition and voting records.
Grueskin brought up during the hearing that some people signed the petition and later said they were misled by the people who presented them with the petition forms. Rodriguez wrote in her ruling that she had also ruled on specific requests to remove signatures. The other rulings published by the city indicate a total of six signatures were removed at the request of citizens.
Finally, although Richardson argued that voters who didn’t include their apartment number in their residential address when signing the petition should have their signatures invalidated, Rodriguez said agreeing with Richardson would mean invalidating the protest itself, since his own voter registration includes a unit number that he didn’t include when he wrote his information on the protest.
— Max Levy, Sentinel Staff WriterCongressperson Jason Crow, senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper discussed their advocacy on behalf of Buckley Space Force Base on Friday, after a meeting with military leaders and local elected officials.
“As the world becomes a smaller place, this is the best place to protect (against) an attack on the homeland from the North,” Hickenlooper said outside of the base’s old visitor center.
“Russia has already demonstrated that they can come over the pole. China is certainly capable of that, and we have to be ready. And if we close down the wing here, we lose a certain amount of readiness.”
Crow said the country’s military “protect(s) the entire western United States out of this base,” as the group talked about persuading the Department of Defense to invest in replacing the aging F-16 fighter jets flown by the 140th Wing of the Colorado Air National Guard.
Other challenges facing the base that the group mentioned in their meeting included energy infrastructure — Crow said the space monitoring equipment underneath the characteristic golf ball-shaped radomes of the base draw large amounts of power, and that the base is working with Xcel Energy and the city to build more infrastructure.
He also said the base hopes to disseminate more information about military careers to increase lagging re-
cruitment numbers and talked about his efforts to develop a national guard component of the U.S. Space Force.
“Buckley Air Force Base fell short in terms of its application for Space Command, and yet the citizens of Aurora rode into the breach when we were having that fight,” Bennet said.
“We wanted to make sure that the administration in Washington understood that this is an amazing place to host some of the most important missions that this nation has for our national defense.”

Cherry Creek School District’s latest standardized test scores showed no significant changes from the previous school year, school board members were told yesterday.
The board members and dozens of community members gathered at Infinity Middle School during a board meeting Monday evening to discuss slow improvement on student test scores, which were released by the state in August. All tests are taken in the spring. The state’s standardized test, Colorado Measure of Academic Success, is taken by elementary and middle school students. Two national tests, the PSAT and SAT, are taken by high school students.
Norm Alerta, director of assessment and performance analysis, delivered a data-heavy presentation to the board.
CMAS test results from the 202122 school year to the 2022-23 school year showed no significant changes. About half of Cherry Creek students met or maintained grade level expectations in English. Less than half met or maintained grade level expectations in math.
The high school students’ test scores showed some improvement.
The number of district high school students who met grade-level expectations in math increased, with significant change seen in ninth and 12th
grade students. There were no significant changes in the number of high school students who met expectations in reading and writing.
Overall, recent state data shows that about half of Cherry Creek students met or exceeded grade level expectations in English language arts while 39.9% of students met or exceeded grade level expectations in math. However, there are sizable differences among district schools.
Cherry Creek’s Challenge School pulled ahead of the curve, with 88% of students meeting or exceeding grade level expectations in English and 85% of the students meeting or exceeding expectations in math.
Also in Cherry Creek, however, only 17% of Prairie Middle School students met or exceeded expectations in English and only 8% of students met or exceeded expectations in math.
Superintendent Chris Smith and several board directors reiterated that test scores were just one metric for student performance.
Director Kristen Allen questioned if students’ test scores are indicators of future success. Alerta said that it was difficult to answer because you had to first define and quantify the meaning of success, which could vary from future income to future happiness.
He explained that typically, the tests are used to predict the likelihood of doing well in certain college classes.
Alerta also said that parents have opted their children out of taking the tests, which affect the district’s overall test scores. When Director Angela
Garland asked why parents are opting out of the tests, Alerta was only able to provide anecdotal evidence. He said that this is a trend seen in other school districts, and that some parents don’t prioritize standardized tests.
— Kristin Oh, Sentinel Staff WriterTwo Aurora police officers won’t face charges for their roles in the June shooting of Jor’Dell Richardson, 14, who allegedly grabbed for a replica firearm while trying to escape the scene of an armed robbery.
Officers Roch Gruszeczka, who fired the fatal shot, and James Snapp, who tackled Richardson, were both cleared by 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner in a letter released Wednesday.
While Kellner called the shooting “tragic” and said Richardson’s family had described the teen as “an intelligent, motivated young man with a promising future,” the DA ultimately found that Snapp was justified in chasing down and tackling Richardson, and also that Gruszeczka’s decision to pull the trigger was reasonable.
“The evidence shows that at the time of deploying lethal force, Officer Gruszeczka possessed an objectively reasonable belief that lesser degrees of force were inadequate to the situation, and an objectively reasonable belief that both he and Officer Snapp were in danger of being killed or receiving serious bodily injury,” Kellner wrote.
“As such, his actions fall within the statutory framework for legally justified use of lethal force by a peace officer, and criminal charges cannot legally or ethically be pursued in this case.”
Qusair Mohamedbhai, an attorney representing the Richardson family, said Richardson’s parents were “disappointed” by the DA’s decision not to file criminal charges.
“The family is grieving and are exploring all their legal options, including civil litigation,” Mohamedbhai said. “They remain determined to hold accountable the officer who shot and killed their son.”
In a statement, Aurora Police Department Chief Art Acevedo said he agreed with Kellner’s findings and called the shooting “a tragedy for his family and extended community” that would “continue to weigh heavily on members of our department.”
He said the department was finishing up its internal investigation into the actions of Gruszeczka and Snapp to determine whether the officers had acted in accordance with department policies.
“It’s my hope that our community will come closer together and direct our collective energy toward comprehensive, meaningful and lasting solutions to empower our youth,” Acevedo said. “This effort will not succeed unless we secure commitments from a wide range of community, business, and government leaders.”
According to investigators, while on patrol June 1, an Aurora Police Department sergeant spotted Richardson among a group of people standing outside of a convenience store near East Eighth Avenue and North Dayton Street wearing masks and hooded sweatshirts despite warm weather.
The same sergeant located a stolen minivan nearby and called for backup. Suspecting a robbery was about to take place, Gruszeczka and Snapp responded.
A clerk who was working in the convenience store later said the group came into the store, and a youth who investigators believe was Richardson demanded vape products and threatened the clerk by showing her a pellet gun that resembled a semiautomatic pistol tucked into his waistband.
Kellner wrote that other members of the group who were caught by police later said they were given the replica gun by an unidentified third party and that they thought it was a real firearm.
Leaving the store with stolen merchandise, the group encountered Gruszeczka and Snapp, who chased Richardson into the alley behind the store.
As Snapp tackled Richardson, Gruszeczka saw what he thought to be a firearm in Richardson’s waistband, and yelled, “Gun!” Gruszeczka then dove on top of Richardson, and, according to Kellner, the teenager began reaching for the pellet gun:
”Officer Gruszeczka saw and felt the individual reaching his hand in between their bodies to try to get his hand around the grip of the pistol. Although Officer Gruszeczka reported he had a hand on the slide of the gun, he felt the suspect’s hand at the grip of the gun and could not block the trigger. During this struggle, Officer Gruszeczka unholstered his own firearm and loudly ordered the individual to drop the gun. In response, Officer Gruszeczka felt the individual’s fingers and knuckles moving along Officer Gruszeczka’s belly, re-gripping the pistol-grip of the gun. Officer Gruszeczka fired one round into the midsection of the individual causing the individual to lose control of the gun. Officer Gruszeczka then threw the gun clear of himself and Officer Snapp. Both Officer Gruszeczka and Officer Snapp then began performing first-aid on the individual until the arrival of medical personnel.“
While Kellner acknowledges that Richardson said “you got me” immediately before he was shot, the DA notes that Gruszeczka did not recall the statement by Richardson, that it was not audible in the officer’s body-worn camera recording, and that it occurred while the alleged struggle for the pellet gun was taking place.
Aurora police previously released multiple sources of video footage of the shooting, including the body-worn camera footage filmed from the perspectives of Gruszeczka and Snapp. However, the footage failed to show what exactly the teen was doing when he was shot.
“Due to the position of the bodyworn camera, the placement of Officer Gruszeczka’s hands and the individual’s hands are not visible at the time Officer Gruszeczka fires his weapon,” Kellner wrote.
“Nonetheless, the body-worn
camera does corroborate Officer Gruszeczka’s description of a physical struggle between him and the individual, his commands to drop the gun, and warning of the use of lethal force to the individual being given prior to the shot being fired.”
Kellner also suggests that Richardson would have struggled for the replica gun because “information provided from the additional armed robbery suspects arrested on scene indicates that all the participants of the armed robbery, including the individual involved in the (officer-involved shooting) himself, likely believed the simulated firearm was, in fact, real.”
After the shooting, the DA said police “immediately” identified the item in Richardson’s possession as a pellet gun and that the information was relayed to investigators with the police department as well as the 18th Judicial District’s Critical Incident Response Team the same day.
Acevedo faced criticism for initially reporting that Richardson was armed with a firearm and not publicly acknowledging that the item was actually a pellet gun until more than a week after the shooting. He later blamed this on miscommunication within the department.
Police spokesman Matthew Longshore said Acevedo has since implemented a new policy regarding information-sharing following critical incidents.
— Max Levy, Sentinel Staff Writer BEYOND AURORARetired Colorado Rockies first baseman Todd Helton is teaming up with the organization RIP Medical Debt to help eliminate $10 million in medical bills for residents around the state.
The program is set to start later this month, with recipients around Colorado receiving letters that notify them their medical bills have been paid in full. Medical expenses have been among the leading causes for bankruptcy in the United States.
Helton, who retired in 2013 and is the franchise’s all-time leader in many statistical categories, said in a release Monday that he drew inspiration from his friend and philanthropist Ryan ‘Jume’ Jumonville.
“(He) recently took care of $100 (million) in medical debt for the people in his home state of Florida,” Helton said. “I … wanted to do something similar for the people of Colorado.”
Helton worked with Jumonville in 2004, when the tandem donated money to health care programs in order to help University of Tennessee system employees.
RIP Medical Debt is a charity that aims to abolish medical bills for those who need financial assistance. Since 2014, the not-for-profit organization has aided more than 6.5 million people in eliminating more than $10 billion in medical debt.
“Medical debt is not only a financial burden; it also creates enormous mental health strain on patients and
their families,” RIP President & CEO Allison Sesso said in a statement.
“We’re grateful to Todd and Ryan for lifting up this critical issue and directly helping Coloradans who need it most.”
Helton spent his entire professional baseball career with the Rockies after being picked in the first round of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft. His No. 17 was retired by Colorado on
Aug. 17, 2014.

October 20, 1948 - September 2, 2023
Lee Ann Robertson (née Crawford) was born October 20, 1948 in Joplin, Missouri to parents Dr. Archibald (Archie) Lee Crawford, M.D., a physician, and Elizabeth Crawford (née Price), a homemaker. She had an older sister, Mary Lisa Crawford, who preceded her in death in 2008. She spent many of her childhood years traveling internationally with her family, but had a special liking for Scandinavian culture. She spent her childhood in Joplin and later attended the University of Arkansas, receiving a bachelor’s degree in psychology. During college she met and later married Bengt Sundelius, who later became a professor of political science in Sweden. During this time, she lived in the town of Malmo in southern Sweden with her husband, spending some of her most memorable years in the beautiful countryside of Sweden and majestic fjords of Norway. They later moved to Denver, Colorado so that Bengt could pursue graduate study in political science at the University of Denver. During this time, she worked both as a clinical social worker, as well as a high school history teacher in Commerce City, where she was well-loved by both her patients and her students. Following their divorce, she met and later married Dr. Lawrence M. Robertson, Jr., M.D., a neurosurgeon, in September 1982. Together they had one child, a son, Will who was born in August 1983 in Denver. She served as a stay-at-home mother and homemaker, constantly and tirelessly attending to her family’s needs. She remained married to Lawrence (“Larry”) until his death in June 2008. She is survived by her son Will, a high school science educator, who lives in Maryland with his wife Casey and their two dogs, Wunjo and Jera.
Donovan Light’s musical talent emerged at an early age.
He started piano lessons in the first grade, and then he learned to play trumpet when he was in sixth grade.
His parents say there are many musicians in their family, and they believe the benefits of music are lifelong.
Barbara and Andrew, his mom and dad, always encouraged him to pursue his passions, even though they knew they’d have to make accommodations for him.
Donovan lives with spina bifida, a birth defect where the spinal cord does not develop properly. It confines him to a wheelchair. And while his parents have supported Donovan and let him explore his interests, he has found success in music.
Rather than sitting at a piano or a music stand, Donovan plays the trumpet in his school’s marching band, and not from the sidelines.
Barbara didn’t know it was even a possibility until his teachers encouraged him.
His middle school band teacher was the first to suggest it. And Zak Ruffert, the band director at Smoky Hill High School, got him rolling.
Donovan was excited to get on the field with his trumpet, “and I remember thinking, ‘How is this going to work?” Barbara recalled. “Is Dad going to have to get fitted for a band uniform?”
Unsure how it actually would work, Zak offered to write a show allowing the band to march around Donovan, if needed.
That’s when Nolan Dauer got involved, and the special choreography became unnecessary. A chance encounter during their seventh grade lunch period at Laredo Middle School brought the two boys together. Donovan was new to the school when he saw Nolan at a table playing a card game with a group of students. He joined in.
The two high school seniors are best friends.
COVID-19 prevented marching bands during their first year of high school. The following year, Nolan said he felt burnt out from playing trumpet, but that he still enjoyed music. That’s when he got the idea to get Donovan on the field by pushing his wheelchair in the marching band.
At first, Donovan was skeptical.
“Like does he really want to do this?” Donovan said.
Eventually, he became convinced Nolan really did want to team up with him in marching band as an unusual duo.
“I gathered the fact that he does really want to help me, and I definitely agreed to it because I thought it would be fun for us. And so far it has.” Donovan said.
For three years, Nolan has marched Donovan’s wheelchair during their halftime performances at home football games while donning the same black-and-green uniform as everyone else in the band.
Barbara points to the success. It was like “the fates aligned to have this all work out in such an organic and positive manner.”
During his decades-long career, Zak has seen
wheel-chair bound students on the sidelines, usually playing some kind of drum. However, Nolan has allowed Donovan to march and play just like all the other musicians on the field.
“Anybody, even our students, can look at this situation and appreciate the effort that Nolan’s put into it,” Zak said. The effort makes Donovan feel like he’s just another member of the band.
He added that Donovan and Nolan have solved all kinds of choreography challenges together. Nolan starts pushing the wheelchair early to build momentum when they’re marching on the football field.
Donovan said that they’ve worked out a system so he doesn’t jerk forward during fast stops and when making tight 90-degree turns.
“I’m the first person in our whole band to try this out. So, trying to basically pioneer an entirely different marching style. That took a little bit of practice, but eventually kind of got it down,” Nolan said.
Zak said the pair work seamlessly with the rest of the marching band, and that he trusts them completely.
They performed during their first halftime show of their last high school year together. They still have a handful of shows and two marching-band competitions left.
“I am amazed at their accomplishments and proud of their growth,” Barbara said. “We get excited that he is a part of something bigger and fits in this amazing group of kids. It is wonderful to watch the acceptance and camaraderie of the band.”

Coming from the grills or the hookah lounge, clouds of flavorful smoke wafted over the crowds this weekend during The Taste of the Middle East.
The festival brought hundreds of people to sample a melange of delicious food from a bevy of vendors, traditional wares and goods being sold by local artisans and cultural dances and music of the region, Sept. 9 at the Aurora Municipal Center. Festival goers were also treated to a hookah lounge, Henna tattoo artists, kids games on the Great Lawn and even the opportunity to be willingly mocked by caricature artists. This celebration of food, dance, music and culture celebrated its fourth year, with it being the second year it was held in Aurora.
Recently, Lauren Gelber, 44, went on a family trip for two weeks and paid around $1,800 to board her two dogs. Gelber, who lives in Marin, California, said the cost was high because she has two pit bull mixes and her dog hotel charges more for large dogs.

Pets provide joy and companionship, but costs can add up quickly, especially if you’re a first-time owner and don’t know what to expect.
Many prospective dog or cat owners only focus on the positive aspects of bringing a furry friend into their lives. And there are countless reasons why pets are great. But it’s also important to have realistic expectations so you don’t face sudden expenses that could hurt your financial stability.
“It’s important to be able to choose a pet that is going to fit your budget and your lifestyle the best,” said Dr. Wendy Hauser, a veterinarian who founded her own consulting company.
When Melissa Chavez decided to get a toy poodle named Milo in the summer of 2020, she had an idea of the costs but was surprised by how fast they added up. Like many others during the pandemic, she saw her stay-at-home schedule as a perfect opportunity to get a puppy.
“I’ve never had any dogs before, so I think everything was a learning opportunity for me,” Chavez said.
If you are considering getting a pet, or looking for ways to cut costs, here are some things to consider:
When Sharon Simon, 64, and her husband want to go on vacation, they ask their adult children to look after their dogs.
Initial costs for a dog or cat go beyond the fee to adopt or buy them.
First, you need to visit a veterinarian to get them vaccinated or do a routine wellness check, which can cost around $200 to $300. Once you get them home, pets need a bed, food, leashes and harnesses and grooming supplies, among other things. While these items are fairly inexpensive individually, they can quickly add up.
On average, you can expect to spend $1,400 a year for a dog and $1,200 for a cat, according to Kerry O’Hara, chief insights officer at APPA, the American Pet Products Association, a trade group.
Knowing how much you will initially need to spend when you get a pet will help you budget.
If you want to know which items are a must, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals offers dog and cat supply checklist for first-time pet parents.
If you are a frequent traveler or are away from home for many hours at a time, you might need to spend some extra money on boarding or daycare.
“We couldn’t afford to board two dogs and go to Europe for two weeks,” said Simon, who lives in Salinas, California.
If you don’t want to board your pet, you could take them with you on vacation, but you will have to pay for the pet’s flight and any hotel fees.
If you need to leave your house every day for work, you might also need to invest in daycare or dog walking services. When Gelber’s children were younger, she used to take her dogs to daycare so they could be walked and socialized. That added around $800 a month to her expenses.
Doing research on the breed of pet that you will adopt is important, not only because it will help determine if they fit your life but also whether you can afford them, Hauser said.
“An example are Maine coons, they are amazing cats but they have a high incidence of heart disease so you are going to have to pay for ultrasounds and cardiac consults once or twice a year,” Hauser said.
Another example of an expensive breeds is French bulldogs, which tend to develop many health issues, Hauser said.
Gelber used to have two French bulldogs who each had their own health complications that required emergency care at a cost of $4,000 and $6,000. Gelber ended up paying a small fraction of those amounts because she had pet insurance, which she got knowing that French bulldogs are prone to getting sick.
Aside from medical issues, it’s important to consider the energy levels of the pets or if they require a specific diet that could be costly. While Gelber’s pit bull mixes are healthy and haven’t required as much medical care as her French bulldogs, she does spend more on food and boarding because of their size.
A few months ago, Milo suffered a case of pancreatitis and Chavez had to pay thousands of dollars in the emergency room, which affected her budget for a while.
“I had to limit myself. I was just staying home and telling my friends ‘I’m sorry, I just spent almost $3,000 on my dog, I cannot go out to eat,’” she said.
While it’s impossible to know what the future will bring, Hauser says that there are some things pet parents can do to limit the possibility of health issues. The main one is consistently taking your pet for wellness checks.
“We would much rather detect diseases early and manage them and have the pet live a longer, better quality life than to put out a fire,” Hauser said. Two important things to keep track of are dental care and weight, she added.
Pet owners can also get health insurance, though some feel it’s not worth the cost.
Chavez’ recent emergency bill made her second guess her decision to not get pet insurance for Milo. Gelber also benefited from pet insurance for her dogs’ emergency bills. But Simon, who has had dogs for 25 years, has never gotten pet insurance and has not needed it during that time.
Whether you have pet insurance or not, it’s good to have some savings in case you need to pay for an unexpected vet visit.
There are ways to cut the cost
of caring for pets. Chavez recommends that other new pet owners not get impulsive about buying everything they see online.
“Don’t get influenced to get things that you might not need because it will add up,” Chavez said.
To save some money, she joined Facebook groups in her area where people give out pet items for free. She’s gotten things like a pet carrier but also sold or gifted things that she ended up not needing, like a car seat for her dog. Chavez also got her dogs’ vaccines through Petco’s affordable veterinary care clinics, which offer vaccines at a lower cost.
You can cut some daycare costs by asking family members or friends to take care of your pet. If you need help with pet food, you can search pet food pantries around the country at Pet Help Finder.
Regardless of how much they have spent on their dogs, Chavez, Gelbert and Simon agree they don’t regret having them in their lives.
“The cost is 100% worth it, they are members of our family. I would just say you have to know (the cost) going into it,” Gelber said.
When philosophy professor Darren Hick came across another case of cheating in his classroom at Furman University last semester, he posted an update to his followers on social media: “Aaaaand, I’ve caught my second ChatGPT plagiarist.”
Friends and colleagues responded, some with wide-eyed emojis. Others expressed surprise.
“Only 2?! I’ve caught dozens,” said Timothy Main, a writing professor at Conestoga College in Canada. “We’re in full-on crisis mode.”
Practically overnight, ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence chatbots have become the go-to source for cheating in college.
Now, educators are rethinking how they’ll teach courses this fall from Writing 101 to computer science. Educators say they want to embrace the technology’s potential to teach and learn in new ways, but when it comes to assessing students, they see a need to “ChatGPT-
proof” test questions and assignments.
For some instructors that means a return to paper exams, after years of digital-only tests. Some professors will be requiring students to show editing history and drafts to prove their thought process. Other instructors are less concerned. Some students have always found ways to cheat, they say, and this is just the latest option.
While Aurora schools do not have policies specifically against students using AI to cheat on assignments, education leaders are looking at ways AI can be used as a tool to help teachers and students.
At Community College of Aurora, an AI chatbot named Professor Fox, was launched along with their new website in late April. It helps students apply for and enroll in classes. Blair Lee, executive director of communications, said that since its launch, the chatbot has engaged in more than 1,000 unique conversations with students.
Lee added that the community col-
Schools in Aurora and across the country wade through a jungle of thorny issues surrounding artificial intelligence writing applications
lege has also used AI to help translate their website to Spanish, which is expected to launch at the end of October. A human will review the translations to ensure their accuracy.
Brandon Feres, dean of academic success in general education, said while AI is a prolific tool, students must learn the nuances of using it in their coursework and in their career.
The rise in popularity of free AI tools such as ChatGPT, gives students the opportunity to cheat on assignments. Feres said that there have been increased instances where students submit AI-generated work.
To combat this, the community college encouraged teachers to speak with their students about academic integrity. They also rely on AI detection software.
Jason Koenig, chief information officer at Cherry Creek School District, said that it’s hard to prevent students from using AI to cheat. The district can turn off access to ChatGPT on the school’s devices but students have access to it at home or on their cellphones.
The school district also uses a detection software, called GPTZero, which is a free tool for teachers to use. However, it’s not foolproof.
If students plagiarize AI-generated essays, then GPT Zero will detect that it was written by a computer. However, if students only copy and paste half of it and write the other half, then the detection tool will not flag it as being written by AI. Koenig added that there are also ways for students to use AI that will allow their plagiarized essays to be undetectable by GPTZero.
Koenig added that they’ve seen students use AI to augment the lessons they’ve learned in class.
“It’s a question of, what do we do to encourage students to be good creators and consumers of the internet,” Koenig said.
In Aurora Public Schools, a newly established AI
Steering Committee will make policy recommendations and provide professional development opportunities to prepare district staff to work with AI.
In a statement from spokesman Corey Christiansen, the district is “evaluating potential AI detection tools and working with teachers as they navigate this emerging technology with their students.”
An explosion of AI-generated chatbots including ChatGPT, which launched in November, has raised new questions for academics dedicated to making sure that students not only can get the right answer, but also understand how to do the work. Educators say there is agreement at least on some of the most pressing challenges.
— Are AI detectors reliable? Not yet, says Stephanie Laggini Fiore, associate vice provost at Temple University. This summer, Fiore was part of a team at Temple that tested the detector used by Turnitin, a popular plagiarism detection service, and found it to be “incredibly inaccurate.” It worked best at confirming human work, she said, but was spotty in identifying chatbot-generated text and least reliable with hybrid work.
— Will students get falsely accused of using artificial intelligence platforms to cheat? Absolutely. In one case last semester, a Texas A&M professor wrongly accused an entire class of using ChatGPT on final assignments. Most of the class was subsequently exonerated.
— So, how can educators be certain if a student has used an AI-powered chatbot dishonestly? It’s nearly impossible unless a student confesses, as both of Hicks’ students did. Unlike old-school plagiarism where text matches the source it is lifted from, AI-generated text is unique each time.
In some cases, the cheating is obvious, says Main, the writing professor, who has had students turn in assignments that were clearly cut-and-paste jobs. “I had
answers come in that said, ‘I am just an AI language model, I don’t have an opinion on that,’” he said.
In his first-year required writing class last semester, Main logged 57 academic integrity issues, an explosion of academic dishonesty compared to about eight cases in each of the two prior semesters. AI cheating accounted for about half of them.
This fall, Main and colleagues are overhauling the school’s required freshman writing course. Writing assignments will be more personalized to encourage students to write about their own experiences, opinions and perspectives. All assignments and the course syllabi will have strict rules forbidding the use of artificial intelligence.
College administrators have been encouraging instructors to make the ground rules clear.
Many institutions are leaving the decision to use chatbots or not in the classroom to instructors, said Hiroano Okahana, the head of the Education Futures Lab at the American Council on Education.
At Michigan State University, faculty are being given “a small library of statements” to choose from and modify as they see fit on syllabi, said Bill Hart-Davidson, associate dean in MSU’s College of Arts and Letters who is leading AI workshops for faculty to help shape new assignments and policy.
“Asking students questions like, ‘Tell me in three sentences what is the Krebs cycle in chemistry?’ That’s not going to work anymore, because ChatGPT will spit out a perfectly fine answer to that question,” said Hart-Davidson, who suggests asking questions differently. For example, give a description that has errors and ask students to point them out.
Evidence is piling up that chatbots have changed study habits and how students seek information.
Chegg Inc., an online company that offers home-
work help and has been cited in numerous cheating cases, said in May its shares had tumbled nearly 50% in the first quarter of 2023 because of a spike in student usage of ChatGPT, according to Chegg CEO Dan Rosensweig. He said students who normally pay for Chegg’s service were now using the AI platform for free.
At Temple this spring, the use of research tools like library databases declined notably following the emergence of chatbots, said Joe Lucia, the university’s dean of libraries.
“It seemed like students were seeing this as a quick way of finding information that didn’t require the effort or time that it takes to go to a dedicated resource and work with it,” he said.
Shortcuts like that are a concern partly because chatbots are prone to making things up, a glitch known as “hallucination.” Developers say they are working to make their platforms more reliable but it’s unclear when or if that will happen. Educators also worry about what students lose by skipping steps.
“There is going to be a big shift back to paper-based tests,” said Bonnie MacKellar, a computer science professor at St. John’s University in New York City. The dis-
cipline already had a “massive plagiarism problem” with students borrowing computer code from friends or cribbing it from the internet, said MacKellar. She worries intro-level students taking AI shortcuts are cheating themselves out of skills needed for upper-level classes.
“I hear colleagues in humanities courses saying the same thing: It’s back to the blue books,” MacKellar said. In addition to requiring students in her intro courses to handwrite their code, the paper exams will count for a higher percentage of the grade this fall, she said.
Ronan Takizawa, a sophomore at Colorado College, has never heard of a blue book. As a computer science major, that feels to him like going backward, but he agrees it would force students to learn the material. “Most students aren’t disciplined enough to not use ChatGPT,” he said. Paper exams “would really force you to understand and learn the concepts.”
Takizawa said students are at times confused about when it’s OK to use AI and when it’s cheating. Using ChatGPT to help with certain homework like summarizing reading seems no different from going to YouTube or other sites that students have used for years, he said.
Other students say the arrival of ChatGPT has made them paranoid about being accused of cheating when they haven’t.
Arizona State University sophomore Nathan LeVang says he doublechecks all assignments now by running them through an AI detector.
For one 2,000-word essay, the detector flagged certain paragraphs as “22% written by a human, with mostly AI voicing.”
“I was like, ‘That is definitely not true because I just sat here and wrote it word for word,’” LeVang said. But he rewrote those paragraphs anyway. “If it takes me 10 minutes after I write my essay to make sure everything checks out, that’s fine. It’s extra work, but I think that’s the reality we live in.”
LiveWell founder and CEO John Bersani said in the same statement that the program wasn’t able to attract enough people to make the facility financially viable.
“It was a difficult decision to close the center after so much hard work by our team, but we really had no choice,” he said. “We did have a wonderful core group of regular daily attendees, but it just wasn’t big enough to support a facility of our size.”
William Zagorski — the chairman of the board of directors of the National Adult Day Services Association, who also serves as executive director of Centennial Adultcare Center in Nashville — said it’s rare to see adult day programs shutter shortly after opening.
“Generally, once they kind of hit a critical mass in the first year or two, they become bastions of that community and really thrive,” he said. “So we don’t see a lot of programs that open and close in the first few years unless they’re poorly run.”
He mentioned Morning Star as a program that served as a community hub in Aurora.
Morning Star and LiveWell were one of a small number of adult day facilities serving the area and were also notable for accepting U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits. Lori Sanchez of the City of Aurora said in an email shortly after LiveWell closed that she was aware of at least 18 people seeking alternative programs that accept VA benefits.
While the exact number of operational adult day cares is hard to come by — a list of licensed facilities maintained by the state describes LiveWell as active — local service providers and experts agree there aren’t enough spaces to meet the need.
“With the closure of LiveWell being pretty sudden, people are left with not a lot of choices in the area,” said Tia Sauceda, director of caregiver and respite services at Seniors’ Resource Center, an adult day facility in Wheat Ridge.
“I know it’s a challenge for the VA to find providers, but it’s also just been a challenge for everyone to find providers, whether you’re paying for it privately, or you have Medicaid, or you have a voucher. It’s a very limited resource at this point, which is unfortunate.”
Jeannie Davis, who chairs the city’s Commission for Older Adults, said her commission identified four Aurora-area programs that offered services similar to Morning Star around the time of the city’s announcement. One of those programs was LiveWell.
“Some of the programs are not open five days a week, and caregivers have to figure out what to do about that. Some programs won’t administer meds during the day. There are very few that accept the VA reimbursement,” Davis said. “Some of these facilities take individuals who are at higher risk of wandering, while others often just don’t.”
She described her own mother’s experience in a local skilled nursing facility. One Sunday morning, Davis’ mother wan-
dered out of the building with a church choir that had come to sing, prompting a search by Denver police.
“They had six Denver police patrol cars out looking for my mother. And when they found her, she was almost three quarters of a mile away from that facility,” Davis said.
“Nobody even noticed. She walked right out the door with the choir, and nobody even noticed. I guess they thought that she was a part of that group. They weren’t paying attention. That’s why you really need to have a staff that’s knowledgeable about the behaviors of these dementia-related patients.”
Sanchez-Warren said staffing challenges driven by industry-wide pay problems have stopped more programs from opening. She said the COVID-19 pandemic also resulted in many hospital workers exiting the health care field, resulting in those higher-paying jobs opening up to people who may have previously worked in elder care.
“It’s just been so hard to find and pay for the staff that we need in all services,” she said. “It’s not easy work, either. It’s really intense. It’s very rewarding, but it’s still intense. And it’s not like a job where you can just go into a patient’s room, and serve them for 15 minutes, and then leave and go to someone else.”
Zagorski said staffing is less of a challenge for programs nationwide than changes in Medicaid reimbursement rates and regulatory obstacles. He said that, while
entry-level turnover can be high, those rates decline significantly for people who remain on the job for several months.
When asked about potential policy solutions, he praised the state of Washington’s 1% payroll tax, which went into effect in July and will go toward long-term care programs, as well as grants and tax rebates for adult day facilities backed by federal funds that have been rolled out by other states.
Michael Macklin, associate vice chancellor for workforce partnerships and development for Colorado Community College System, said one of the ways the state has responded to the shortage of elder care workers is through Care Forward Colorado, a program which pays for students’ health care credentials, funded by $26 million in federal COVID-19 relief dollars.
Macklin said the program has so far covered the cost of more than 400 nursing credentials. He said the Colorado Community College System is also considering ways of attracting recent high school graduates to careers in health care.
“Earlier on in the pandemic, there were definitely folks leaving the industry but we also saw people who wanted to come in and support their communities or those around them and so definitely movement out of the industry,” Macklin said.
“And so I feel like in this space and with the support of Care Forward Colorado and some of these other programs, we’re seeing those program numbers increase
now as well.”
In 2022, the state reported that about 93,430 people were employed in health care support roles, making a median salary of $37,270, compared to a pre-pandemic 2019 figure of 95,560 people making a median salary of $32,142.
While Macklin said there hasn’t been movement at the state level toward subsidies that could help adult day care facilities pay employees more, he suggested one way of increasing expectations for pay could be raising the bar for certification, though he said that wouldn’t necessarily increase the pool of candidates for jobs.
Those involved in the adult day programs said the fact that adult day is a lesser-known option compared to long-term care and skilled nursing has limited its utilization with Sauceda calling it the elder care industry’s “best kept secret.”
Still, whether demand is keeping up with the need or not, Zagorski said he sees more adult day programs opening and getting ready to open across the country now than in the past 15 years combined.
“The drive for deinstitutionalization was absolutely if not exponentially increased through COVID. People did not want to go to a nursing home and be isolated. And people also don’t want to be isolated at home,” he said. “The best way to cure geriatric depression and loneliness is to have people being cared for and enjoying themselves in a groupbased environment.”
Things have begun to heat up on the softball diamond as a number of city programs have started to round into form.
Tournaments, the staple of early season play, have concluded and league competition is beginning in earnest with the end of the season looming in just a month.
Eaglecrest and Grandview tested themselves at the Dave Sanders Memorial tournament Sept. 7-9 and learned a lot of important lessons in the process.
has senior infielder Izzy Ervin.
Cherokee Trail and Grandview also have shown themselves to be quite potent offensively and especially when they play each other. The Cougars claimed a 14-10 road win over the Wolves in Centennial League play Sept. 11 in a game that featured fireworks on both sides.
For coach Yvette Hendrian’s Raptors — who are off to an 8-3 start after a 13-1 road win at Denver East Sept. 11 — the lessons so far have involved taking care of opportunities.
When Eaglecrest didn’t execute in key situations, it has resulted in losses (to ThunderRidge by two in eight innings, to Arapahoe by three and to defending Class 5A state champion Columbine by two), but when it does, it is hard to beat. Eaglecrest did it for the most part in a 4-1 performance at the Dave Sanders tournament, which resulted in a third-place finish in a quality group of teams.
The Raptors have a definite strength on the pitching mound as senior Addison Mower and juniors Zaya Elliott, Briahna Gallegos and Jordan Stilley have have all been strong. That has taken some pressure off the Eaglecrest offense, which has produced six runs per game. Senior Jac Smith has been a hitting machine with a .595 batting average, while senior Megan Drugan — who had a two-homer game in the tournament opener — has also been swinging it well late, as
Coach Caley Mitchell’s Cherokee Trail team returned some key elements from last season’s 5A state qualifier that includes veteran bats in seniors Addi Krei, Kiki Pryor and Jocelyn Steiner, plus juniors Kennedy Brian and Kylie Twilt, which give the lineup depth and balance . Cherokee Trail is young on the mound, but freshmen Emma Rice and Sydney Cobb have both shown ability to come through when needed.
The Cougars got a big boost in the return of senior pitcher Cayman Lightner, who provides big game experience and grit on the mound, even as she continues to return from injury.
Grandview’s spirited run to last season’s 5A state tournament imbued returning players with confidence that translated into a 6-0 start that included a victory over Columbine.
Coach Liz Carter’s Wolves ran into some adversity at the Dave Sanders tournament with three closes losses and then another to Cherokee Trail, but it is the midst of a stretch in which the team had nine games in a seven-day span.
Carter believes her team — which includes veterans in seniors Peytann Weiland, Ashley Miller and Kristin Gallego, plus a good young core that includes junior Brooklyn Heil, sophomore Sasha Kennedy and others — will take a lot from the stretch, even if comes with some losses.
The biggest chance for Grandview is on the mound, where Makayla Valle graduated and has been replaced by a committee that includes juniors Kamaya Soniea-Harris and Leah Graves. How the pitching staff continues to improve during the season will be vital to the Wolves’ fortunes at the end.
Offense hasn’t been a problem often for another eight-win Aurora program — Vista PEAK Prep — which has averaged nearly 11 runs per game during an 8-5 start. Coach Eddie Sanchez’s Bison have a strong young core that has speed that can put pressure on defenses, but it will look to improved defensively in the second half of the season as opponents have scored seven runs per game and reached double digits four times.
Regis Jesuit has softball back after a year hiatus and it has been a season of extremes. Coach Tyler Robbins’ team is 6-3 and every single contest has been decided by at least 10 runs either way. Senior Natalie Shellhorn has been a key contributor as she is back with the program after she played elsewhere last season.
Rangeview is off to a 5-10 start, while Overland owns a 3-9 mark, Smoky Hill has started 2-10 and Aurora Central sits at 2-9. Still looking for its first win of the season

Through three weeks of the prep football season, only one Aurora program remains unblemished, as Eaglecrest picked up one of just two victories for local teams among a combined 11 results.
The Raptors started somewhat slow in their matchup with winless Highlands Ranch Sept. 8 at Halftime Help Stadium, but ramped it up in the second half with 30 points on its way to a 51-7 victory to get to 3-0 for a second straight season.
Quarterback Joe Steiner threw for 198 yards and hit Zavion Gamble and Xavier Waldron with touchdown passes, while Josh Wiley rushed for two touchdowns for Eaglecrest. Cam Chapa had a monster all-around game as well for the Raptors as he scored a short touchdown, recorded an interception and recovered a fumble.
The other win for an Aurora team came from 1-2 Smoky Hill, which earned a gritty 7-0 victory against Overland on Sept. 9 at Legacy Stadium to win custody of the Wagon Wheel traveling trophy. A opening drive touchdown pass from quarterback Zion Brake to Ene Niusulu held up as the only score.The Buffaloes’ defense made a goal line stand in the third quarter and kept the Trailblazers (1-2) off the scoreboard for the first time. Overland played the game without standout running back Jarrius Ward, who received two personal fouls in the previous game.
Grandview (2-1) had a showdown with Ralston Valley Sept. 8 at the North Area Athletic Complex. The Mustangs came out hot and built a 240 lead on the way to a 30-15 victory. The Wolves scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter via rush by Chris Blanks and a strike from quarterback Liam Szarka to Kyler Vaughn.
Regis Jesuit came through in the clutch in close wins over Valor Christian and Kennedy Catholic in the first two weeks and found themselves in another battle on Sept. 9 at LPS Stadium against Arapahoe. The Warriors built a 21-7 halftime lead, but the third of three touchdown passes by quarterback Peyton Lindell and second to JoJo Hernandez evened the game in the third quarter. Arapahoe picked up some crucial first downs and ended up scoring two touchdowns in the final quarter to eventually hold off Regis Jesuit, which scored again late on a rushing touchdown by Garrett Reece.
Cherokee Trail had a difficult matchup with unbeaten Columbine Sept. 8 at Legacy Stadium, which the Rebels came away with a 35-7 victory. The Cougars (1-2) got a touchdown pass from Eliot Ming to Jacob Mathenge in the fourth quarter.
Vista PEAK Prep paid a visit to defending Class 4A state champion Broomfield Sept. 8 and fell to 1-2 with a 49-6 loss. Quarterback Owen Packer and Isaiah Watson connected on a first quarter touchdown pass for the Bison.
Hinkley remains on the quest for its first victory since the 2019 season and came close before it fell 6-0 in a visit to Adams City Sept. 9. Aurora Central (1-2) picked up a close victory over Falcon on the road in the 2022 season, but the Falcons turned the tables in their visit to Aurora Public Schools Stadium Sept. 9 with a 42-0 victory. Gateway played its first home of the season Sept. 8 and dropped a 55-6 contest to the Far Northeast Warriors at APS Stadium. The top highlight for coach Rashad Mason’s Olys was a 70-yard scoop and score from Lyric Wynn.
Also 0-3 now is Rangeview, which fell 44-7 to Douglas County Sept. 7 at APS Stadium. Jah Alexander had 116 yards and the Raiders’ touchdown.
The Cherokee Trail boys golf team moved up a spot in the final Centennial League standings, as the Cougars grabbed second place behind Cherry Creek when the last of five league tournaments finished Sept. 5.
Fueled by three players who fin-
ished in the top 10 in the individual standings in sophomores Brayden Forte and Dalton Sisneros and junior Christopher O’Donnell, coach Jason Leclaire’s Cherokee Trail team finished 22 strokes behind the Bruins.
League team honors were determined by the cumulative total of scores from tournaments at Meadow Hills G.C., South Suburban G.C., Fox Hollow G.C., Saddle Rock G.C. and Aurora Hills G.C., while individual honors were based on a point total accrued by players’ finish at each tournament.
