Despite recent protests among city lawmakers over acknowledging indigenous lands, Colorado and Aurora history speaks for itself
Spare us the pearl-clutching by Republican extremists over President Joe Biden’s divisive observations that Trump’s MAGA cultists threaten the nation.
In an unusually terse and critical prime-time speech Thursday, Biden outright accused the unabashed devotees of Trump of trying to undermine the nation and the tenants of the democracy it’s built on.
Biden has continued attacking Trump extremists as anti-democratic insurgents and existential threat to the nation.
Despite the Trumpists’ howls of, “well, I never!” it’s hardly a novel idea or accusation.
DAVE PERRY EditorBiden did little more than repeat, more loudly, the exact accusations that Republican icon Rep. Liz Cheney has been making for months.
“Equality and democracy are under assault” in the U.S., Biden charged, casting Trump and his backers in the GOP as a menace to the nation’s system of government, its standing abroad and its citizens’ way of life, the AP wrote Thursday night.
Trumpy MAGA-loids “promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence,” he said. They “are determined to take this country backwards.”
Backward? This is a wholesale shove into the depths of Word War II Italy.
Last week, Biden launched the f-bomb into the camp of seething Trump cultists, coyly calling them “fascist,” by saying they are “semi-fascist.”
At what point does the very of definition of fascism by dictionaries, every expert and Trump himself not sink in here: “An authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization”?
All of this is only controversial because the media, while willing to label people who commit overtly racist acts and make racist statements as “racists,” fear tabbing those who commit overtly fascist acts and make undeniably fascist proclamations as “fascists.”
We, the media, are to blame for “both-siding” a regime we would never allow to go unchecked in our stories if they were from outside the United States. This isn’t fair, accurate or accountable journalism; it’s a hot mess and tacit complicity.
If you believe the unhinged, autocratic and absolutely untrue load of crap that Trump uses to cover his trail of crime, lies and corruption, you might have a problem.
All Biden, and thousands of others are trying desperately to point out, including courageous Republicans, is that if you find yourself philosophically connecting with people like GOP congresspersons Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Green, you not only have a problem, you are the problem.
Trump gathered his MAGA forces to storm the U.S. Capitol with the explicit hope of undermining the United States Presidential Election that he lost and have himself installed as “president” by force or by undermining the constitutional election process.
If that sounds pretty dictator-ish to you, it does the rest of the world, and cogent Americans, too. That would include Cheney and a handful of elected Republicans destroyed by their own, who saw their brave honesty dangerous.
Well of course seething, shrill and unhinged people like Colorado self-proclaimed “ULTRA-MAGA” Lauren Boebert is a Trumpy fascist. She unapologetically continues

to insist that Trump is the nation’s president, with Biden having “stolen” the 2020 election.
She unabashedly insists that the United States should behave like the theocracy she says it is.
“I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk that’s not in the Constitution,”Boebert said at a public event in June. “It was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like what they say it does.”
Trump’s militia and allies tried to overthrow the U.S. government, and his dwindling but increasingly desperate adjutants, like Boebert, and the equally shrill and indicted southwest Colorado county clerk Tina Peters, are not your father’s Republicans, folks.
They are unapologetic fascists who don’t like being called out, and Biden, Cheney and all the other adults in the room are absolutely right. They’re dangerous.
They’re also not representative of most Republicans in Colorado or anywhere else. They’re certainly not representative of the vast majority of Americans.
A July New York Times/Siena College Poll — taken before Trump’s classified document theft and obstruction scandal — reveal what’s behind the noisy fascists trying to overthrow the GOP and the nation:
– Only 28% of Americans currently identify as Republicans
– Of those, half, as of July, do not support Trump
– 16% of Republicans would vote for Biden again.
It’s up to American voters to make sure none of these extremists hold positions of power in the Senate, the House, state capitols or even local school boards.
It’s up to Republicans to drag these extremists off the political stage, reinsert democratic conservatives as party leaders and bring them back to the ranks.

The alarming scheme involving a former Arapahoe County social worker using her position to persecute an Aurora city council member in an apparent act of wanton vengeance has now mushroomed into a debacle demanding outside intervention.
In July, Arapahoe County Sheriff officials said an investigation revealed that former Arapahoe County Department of Social Services agent Robin Niceta targeted Aurora City Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky earlier this year in a scheme to falsely accuse the lawmaker of child abuse, according to sheriff and court documents.
Arrest affidavits revealed that Niceta made a false “anonymous” claim about unproven abuse by Jurinsky with the intent of persecuting her in a sordid act of revenge.
Niceta was at the time involved in a romantic relationship with former Aurora Police Chief Vanessa Wilson. Jurinsky was a vociferous critic of Wilson, who was a staunch advocate for reforming the city’s beleaguered police department. After months of haranguing Wilson in public, Jurinsky, speaking on a local right-wing talk radio show, demanded Wilson’s firing and called her “trash.”
Wilson was later sacked by Aurora City Manager Jim Twombly, who cited Wilson’s management deficiencies.
Attorneys for Wilson have since said Wilson is no longer involved with Niceta.
Arapahoe County prosecutors say Niceta was incensed by Jurinsky and first faked a complaint and then used her position in the social services department to persecute Jurinsky in an attempt to have her toddler son removed from Jurinsky’s care.
Arapahoe County officials have essentially stipulated the Niceta allegations made by sheriff officials and prosecutors from the 18th Judicial District.
But two weeks ago, Jurninsky returned to the media spotlight, announcing a class-action lawsuit brought forward by up to 40 other parents, all claiming similar, lurid cases of abuse by Niceta — and other, unnamed Arapahoe County social workers.
“What happened to me was not an isolated incident,” Jurinsky said at an Aug. 24 news conference.
Jurinsky said her going public with her instance of Niceta’s scheme prompted other parents to come forward.
Lawyers said most but not all of the allegations by numerous parents of harassment and vindictiveness were at the hands of Niceta.
Social service officials and the county are accused of selectively considering and not sufficiently vetting evidence related to child abuse complaints, illegally seeking protection orders against parents and caretakers and otherwise acting unethically to remove children from their care.
The lawsuit alleges the abuse “occurred over the course of many years,” affecting “dozens, if not hundreds (or more), of Arapahoe County families,” according to previous Sentinel reports.
Jurnisky told the media that only about 75% of the complaints by parents involved Niceta, although neither Jurinsky nor her lawyers offered further details.
County officials said Jurninsky’s allegations about Niceta were deeply troubling and under investigation by the department.
County spokesperson Luc Hatlestad told The Sentinel there are “many checks and balances” that the county uses to weed out false allegations of abuse, including evaluation by “multiple layers of human services, educational, medical, mental health and legal professionals.”
Clearly, those multiple checks and balances failed in the Jurinsky case.
The well-publicized allegations of dozens of parents at this point, even undetailed and unproven, have created a catastrophic credibility problem for Arapahoe County social services, which could only be made worse by an internal investigation of any kind.
The county, reportedly working with the state, should immediately step back from any kind of analysis or investigation and the Colorado Department of Human Services and the Colorado State Attorney General should coordinate a transparent investigation into the department.
While county officials say parents have always had the courts to depend on for being a referee for fairness and accountability, it’s beyond the pale to insist that is an acceptable substitute for ensuring parents and children aren’t abused at the whim of disgruntled or disturbed social workers.
Only an accountable investigation from an outside and independent agency can reliably ensure that additional or systemic problems are identified and corrected.
With such an immense amount of power, made potentially dangerous by the need for privacy and discretion, departments of social services must have credibility and accountability to protect children.
Arapahoe County, at this point, has neither.
DICK POLMAN, CONTRIBUTING COLUMNISTThey say a picture is worth a thousand words. This one is worth a stint in jail.
Trump’s sweat-soaked defenders are freaking out about a FBI photo of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago and fumbling for fresh rationalizations – they say it’s “staged” and “dishonest.”
Meanwhile, the thief-in-chief is veritably chewing his grandiose carpet about the way “his” top-secret documents were treated during the Aug. 8 search: “They (FBI agents) took them out of cartons and spread them around on the carpet, making it look like a big ‘find’ for them. They dropped them, not me – Very deceiving.”
Why are they all so upset? Because they respect – and, in this case, they fear – the power of the visual image. Because now the average American who has no time to read abstruse court filings can measure the depth of Trump’s crimes with merely a glance.
Psychologists have long concluded that humans are far more likely to remember something they see, as opposed to what they read or hear. Historians have long noted that even Cicero, the legendary Roman orator, brought visual props to enhance his eloquent speeches. But we need not reference ancient history. Richard Nixon “lost” the 1960 presidential debates in part because his TV makeup made him look more haggard than JFK. Mike Dukakis, the 1988 Democratic candidate, was forever branded as a dork because he looked diminutive while riding in a military tank.
The late French philosopher Jacques Ellul said that the visual image “locks us up…and obliges us to look. The visual image is always rigorous, imperative, and irreversible…You cannot dispute with an image.” And that’s why Team MAGA’s attempts to dispute the FBI’s image have been so desperately hilarious.
Start with the complaint that the photo was “staged.” Of course it was! It’s standard law enforcement practice for federal agents to lay out the evidence seized in a legal search – and to catalogue those seized materials by snapping evidentiary photos. Imagine how stupid it would sound if drug dealers, after being raided by police, tried to complain that their guns and cash were being unfairly depicted in “staged” photos.
But what’s most delicious are some of the last-ditch defenses that have only made Trump look more guilty.
When Trump fumed on his social media site that the FBI agents took the classified documents “out of cartons and spread them around” in his office, he ba-
sically confessed that he’d been hoarding the stolen goods in those cartons in his office. And his fourth-tier lawyers are just as dumb as he is. Alina Habba told Fox News that her client would never have strewn those documents on the floor: “That is not the way his office looks. He has guests frequently there.” Thank you, Habba, for confirming that national security materials stolen from Washington were stashed in an office where “guests” came and went.
(Hanna also said that the FBI is trying to persecute Trump with “three mundane statutes: espionage and the two others – obstruction.” It’s news to me that espionage is a “mundane” offense; during the Cold War, it was serious enough to fry the Rosenbergs in the electric chair.)
And the Trump camp has only itself to blame for the release of that evidentiary photo. The Justice Department shared it with the public only because Trump keeps going to court seeking to impugn the legal search. As the government’s rebuttal, that photo is a smoking gun. One marketing expert has pointed out: “We respond to and process visual data better than any other type of data. In fact, the human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text, and 90 percent of information transmitted to the brain is visual.”
So when a visual image speaks for itself, there’s only so much one can do to spin it away. Karl Rove, the ex-Bush Republican swami, didn’t even bother to try. He told Fox News on Wednesday: “Let’s be clear on this. None of these government documents are his to have taken. A lot of the former president’s problems are of his own creation. Under the Presidential Records Act of 1978, you cannot take original documents out of the White House when you leave, whether it’s the president of the United States or any of his aides. It’s verboten under the law.”
In fact, let’s contrast that evidentiary photo with something Trump said at a campaign rally on Aug. 18, 2016: “In my administration, I’m going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information. No one will be above the law.”
Yes indeed, some spoken words are memorable after all.
Aurora police believe the key to curbing car thefts and other prominent crimes could be
an elite proactive policing team, which cops now say has been operating around north Aurora for just over a month.
The Direct Action Response Team, called DART, was resurrected in July after being disbanded years ago by former police chief Nick Metz, who opted to increase the department’s SWAT capabilities instead, according to Special Operations Division chief Jad Lanigan.
The team also bears resemblance to proactive policing teams in other cities that have drawn the scrutiny of organizations such as the ACLU, which said it’s opposed to the Aurora program.
“DART is not a new philosophy for the police department. We’re just starting to reimagine it,” Lanigan said. “We’re going to take the data that shows where crime and violent crime are happening and ask this team to concentrate their efforts on those areas.”
The team frees officers from patrol responsibilities, ensuring they’re not “tied to a radio,” and instead assigns them to tasks like searching for specific suspects or stolen vehicles, Lanigan explained.
Using the data shared in regular meetings on crime strategy, robberies, pattern crimes, non-fatal shootings and homicides as well as data provided by police analysts — including hot-spot maps and information reported as part of the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program — DART command staff determine where to deploy the team, police spokeswoman Sgt. Faith
Goodrich said.
DART’s dozen officers, two detectives, two sergeants and one lieutenant have only been directed to follow the data and “saturate” the neighborhoods where certain crimes are statistically prevalent — so far, many of the arrests have taken place in north Aurora.
Lanigan said the team is empowered to work flexible hours. They’ve been equipped with covert vehicles, license plate readers, devices that fire a GPS tracker at fleeing cars and other tools to hunt for stolen cars specifically.
It’s the first major anti-crime program to come out of Dan Oates’ transitional administration, at a time when Aurora and Colorado are grappling with a rise in motor vehicle thefts, shootings and other crimes.
Aurora police last month logged a 34.5% increase in car thefts, comparing the number of incidents so far this year compared to the same time period last year, along with a 27.7% increase in aggravated assaults and a 28.6% increase in murders.
In its first few weeks, Lanigan said DART managed to hunt down a dozen stolen cars, all but two of which were occupied, along with three guns and an unspecified volume of drugs.
“We’re hoping this team can go out, and give people the ability to walk the streets, and enjoy their parks, and go to the grocery store without being a victim of crime,” he said.
Oates in June described his plans to reintroduce Aurora’s DART program, modeled off New York City’s anti-street-crime units, called Neighborhood Safety Teams.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams brought the Neighborhood Safety Teams back earlier this year, despite concerns that past iterations of the teams received a disproportionate number of brutality and bias complaints.
Lanigan said DART officers were selected from a pool of about 40 applicants based in part on their Internal Affairs record of using force — officers facing an open internal affairs investigation would be turned down, as would officers that were the subject of a sustained complaint of unreasonably using force.
The candidates were interviewed, along with their supervisors. Lanigan said candidates were required to have been with the department for at least three years.
“We wanted to know, are these people out there proactively policing our neighborhoods right now? Are they good at working in a team? Because this is more of a team,” he said.
Once selected, the officers were sent back to a police academy for two weeks to receive refresher training in areas such as Constitutional law, de-escalation and working with vulnerable populations, as well as high-risk stops, rolling surveillance and the use of less-lethal weapons.
Oates said de-escalation training was made a priority for the officers who would be assigned to DART, saying he was “aware that we’ve had challenges in this community around trying to do proactive policing” and that the department was “being very carefully watched to make sure we do that in an ethical and constitutional way.”
The team made its first arrest July 27, and has since effected dozens of arrests for everything from drug and weapons crimes to car theft and robbery, according to Lanigan and information shared by the department on social media.
“Nobody wants drugs in their neighborhood. Nobody wants prostitution or stolen cars,” Lanigan said. “If we can take away the problems in society, then the bad people won’t go to those areas to create havoc in our community.”
Lanigan said at an Aug. 11 city council policy committee meeting that “many” DART arrestees were juveniles. Goodrich later shared data on the team’s arrests made through Aug. 20 — close to 50 in total, plus around 10 criminal summonses.
The data indicates that four or five of those arrested were juveniles, between 8.2% and 10% of all DART arrestees, including one 12-year-old boy. That’s compared to 197 children out of the 3,354 people arrested by APD this year through mid-August, or 5.9% of all arrestees.
When asked about the frequency of juvenile arrests effected by DART officers, Goodrich said that police and the city “recognize the importance of connecting with the youth in our community” and included a link to a webpage for city-run youth programs.
“The increase in crime and juveniles committing crimes is not solely an Aurora issue, it is being experienced in many of the Metro Areas,” Goodrich wrote in an email. “It is a multi-faceted problem. As such, it would be irresponsible to speculate as to the reasons why.”
As for the racial makeup of DART arrestees, 21 were white, representing between 42% and 42.9% of the group; 22 or 23 were Black, or between 44.9% and 46%; and six were Hispanic, or between 12% and 12.2%.
Census data from 2020 indicates that about 42% of the city’s population is white, 15% is Black and 30% is Hispanic or Latino. In the 80010 ZIP Code, where more than half of the arrests through Aug. 20 took place, about 23% of residents were reportedly white, 16% were Black and 50% were Hispanic or Latino.
In 2021, the police department reported that about 30% of its arrestees were white, 39% were Black, 29% were Hispanic and the remaining 3% were some other race.
The initial data does not indicate that people of color are being arrested disproportionately, but at least one prominent civil rights organization says it’s still opposed to proactive policing programs such as DART.
Taylor Pendergrass, director of advocacy for the ACLU of Colorado, said cities impact crime more effectively through violence interruption (the city agreed to invest $40,000 in one such program run by the University of Colorado earlier this year), neighborhood meetings, foot patrols by uniformed officers and other strategies focusing on community engagement.
“The ACLU would advocate for Aurora as a city to invest in those community-based solutions rather than looking to policing as the solution for rising violence,” Pendergrass said.
Lanigan said DART was a reallocation of officers currently employed by the department and that the creation of the program did not involve budgeting for more
officers.
Pendergrass said the push by New York and Aurora police to reintroduce street crime units such as DART is unique at a time when many departments are moving away from that model, calling New York’s decision to disband its teams in 2020 “appropriate.”
“These types of units have proven to be so woefully ineffective at actually addressing the root causes of violence and crime, while just creating massive constitutional violations and racial profiling,” he said. “If we could have arrested our way out of violence with aggressive policing, we would have solved the programs a long time ago.”
When asked about the legality of enforcement practices that tend to target minority neighborhoods — north Aurora, where police say they have been pointed by crime data, is also home to a large share of Aurora’s residents of color — Pendergrass mentioned successful litigation against New York’s Police Department for its stopand-frisk policy.
However, he said departments should be equally deterred by the fact that programs such as DART have been “a failure across the board” at mitigating crime, according to the ACLU.
Later, Lanigan said the department is still in a “staffing crisis,” but that they hope to make a significant dent in crime with the DART model.
“Now, the chief again wants a proactive team to go out and address violent crime through statistics,” he said.
“Everyone in this community in Aurora deserves to be able to walk the street, and go out in public, and go to a park, and enjoy dinner. So if there’s crime in the community, that’s where we want our officers to go.”
The newly-established Adams County Board of Health selected Kelly Weidenbach this week to serve as the agency’s first executive director.
Weidenbach has been acting as the transition director since February, ensuring that the county is ready to take over public health services when the Tri-County Health Department, which has served Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties for more than 50 years, dissolves at the beginning of 2023.
As a result, Aurora, which sits in all three counties, will have three public health agencies overseeing policy in the city.
Adams County commissioners voted to leave the health agency last fall after Douglas County commissioners first opted out of the department to form their own. In December, Arapahoe County commissioners decided to follow suit.
County commissioners said prior to their vote in October that leaving Tri-County would “give us an opportunity to focus on the specific needs of our residents and invest dollars in the areas that need it most.”
Weidenbach said in a statement to media that health equity is among her top priorities in the position that will serve a minority majority population, which the county said in a news release has “faced compounding issues the new health department plans to address.”
“…We often talk about raising the voices of communities and populations that may have been historically undervalued, underrepresented, and who experience adverse or disproportionate outcomes,” Weidenbach said. “We will also be really looking around recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic — looking at places where the community may have lost traction on important health issues such as mental health, substance abuse, and physical and mental well-being.”
Adams County reports that one in four residents say they are in “poor” mental health and the suicide rate in the county is about 10% higher than the national average.
Prior to working with the new county health agency, Weidenbach served as the Director of Planning and Information Management at the Tri-County Health Department and worked as an executive director at a health department in Wyoming.
She has a doctorate degree in public health and health policy and management from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a master’s degree in public health in epidemiology from Emory University.
— KARA MASON, Sentinel Managing EditorAn Adams County resident died this week after contracting West Nile Virus, according to the Tri-County Health Department.
The person was in their 60s and
likely died from a complication of an underlying infection, the department said in a news release. This is the first West Nile-related death in Adams County this year and the third in Colorado, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
In Colorado, West Nile season typically runs from May through October with the majority of cases reported in August and September, the department said. Last year there were 175 reported cases and 11 deaths. So far this year there have been 39 reported cases, 29 hospitalizations and three deaths. Four cases have been in Adams County. One has been reported in Arapahoe County.
West Nile is spread through mosquito bites, and symptoms include fever, muscle aches, fatigue and headaches, though most people do not become symptomatic. People over 50 and the immunocompromised are at higher risk, the release said.
To protect against mosquitos, Tri-County recommends using insect repellent, limiting outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active and wearing long pants and sleeves in areas where mosquitoes are active.
“Our thoughts go out to the family of this Adams County resident,” Tri-County executive director Dr. John Douglas said in the release. “The increased rain and warmer weather have given mosquitos an ideal breeding habitat this season. I urge people to take precautions, especially at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active.”
— CARINA JULIG, Sentinel Staff WriterThe Community College of Aurora is in the final stages of completing security upgrades to its CentreTech campus, which will include increased external cameras and lighting along with code blue stations.
“It’s been really exciting to go through this whole process,” said Travis Hogan, director of campus safety and security.
When he first started working at CCA about five years ago Hogan said there were almost no external cameras on campus, which made it difficult to determine how much foot traffic the campus got overnight and left it more vulnerable to theft and vandalism.
The college submitted a controlled maintenance request to the state for upgrades, but shortly afterward the COVID-19 pandemic started, throwing higher education and government into emergency mode. Hogan figured the college had missed its chance, but to his surprise the request was approved for $1.3 million. The college’s cabinet also contributed some money to the project, for a total of $1.5 million.
With that money, the college began installing many more interior and exterior cameras on campus, going from about 65 to 220. It also

replaced all the lighting in its parking lots and pathways in order for there to be enough light for the cameras to function properly, said Hogan, who noted that light has also shown to be one of the biggest deterrents of crime.
In addition to lighting the college also installed five emergency code blue stations throughout its campus, which have a button that people can press to be immediately connected to a 911 operator.
The upgrades took place only at CCA’s CentreTech campus, as the buildings on its Lowry campus are rented from the Colorado Community College System, which is directly in charge of security at that location. The CCCS did a similar upgrade that was smaller in scope recently, Hogan said.
He said that the caliber of upgrades have earned praise from people who work in the state’s government and some at Aurora’s Raytheon location, which is just across the street from CCA.
“It’s really exciting to have a system like this at such a small institution, but it just goes to show how much CCA takes pride in the safety of our students and staff,” Hogan said.
Upgrades began in August 2021 and were mostly finished in April and May, with a few IT upgrades still ongoing. As part of the project the college increased the amount of server storage space it has to accommodate footage from the additional security cameras as well as to prepare in advance for the new STEM building that the college will break ground on later this month.
During the pandemic there was some theft on campus, including a stolen vehicle, but Hogan said that since installing the cameras and lights it has not had any major incidents take place. The cameras allow the security team to have eyes on the building at night, since unlike a residential campus people are not present 24/7.
The college has a good working relationship with local law enforcement, Hogan said, and if they see something out of the ordinary in the footage they can have someone come over to take a look at it.
Despite their close relationship, the campus security team isn’t law enforcement.
“One of my phrases I always say is ‘we’re a resource, not a police force,’” Hogan said.
Another change that’s taken place over the past year is a shift in the security team’s uniform. When Hogan took the reins as security director, the six-person team wore uniforms similar to what police wore and carried batons and pepper spray.
CCA prides itself on having one of the most diverse student bodies in Colorado, with students from 65 different countries who have “a lot of different lived experiences with law enforcement,” Hogan said. He noticed some discomfort from students who mistook the team for police and decided to “take down the tone” a little bit.
After receiving approval from
the college’s leadership team, Hogan switched the uniform to jeans with polo shirts that say “campus security” on them.
“Since then, folks know when they see us that we’re CCA security,” Hogan said. “We’re there to help them, we’re there to assist them. If they’ve done something wrong, we’re not going to arrest them.”
If there is an issue that rises to the criminal level, they can get in touch with their law enforcement partners quickly, Hogan said. But even when students do break the code of conduct, “it’s not a real adversarial system.”
“We want that restorative justice,” he said. We not only want the person to be accountable for what they did but to restore that space to the way it was before so the student is not negatively impacted.”

After he was found guilty of trying to murder a former acquaintance, an Aurora man faces new felony and misdemeanor charges for allegedly attacking his victim at trial.
On Monday, a jury found Daniel Ayala, 29, guilty of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon, following an incident in June 2021 when Ayala struck his victim with a pickup truck.
The man was hospitalized in critical condition, and Ayala later admitted to police that he had targeted him on purpose. The victim survived the attack, identified Ayala as his attacker and went on to testify against Ayala, who faced two felony charges along with two sentence enhancers.
Jurors were exposed to unexpected evidence of Ayala’s violent behavior during the trial, when the defendant, who was free on bond, allegedly jumped over the defense table and began hitting his victim in the face and body.
According to a news release from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, deputy DAs Chandler Neumann and Kate Tierney intervened and restrained Ayala. Neumann and the victim sustained minor injuries.
“Attacking a victim while he is testifying is an insult to our justice system and something no witness should ever have to fear,” Neumann said in a statement to reporters.
“The victim showed tremendous bravery throughout the trial, and this verdict will finally provide the victim with some closure.”
Ayala’s bond has since been revoked, and he now faces charges of retaliation against a witness or victim, a class 3 felony; third-degree assault, a class 1 misdemeanor; and two counts of violation of a protection order, also class 1 misdemeanors.
He is scheduled to be sentenced for the attempted murder case Oct. 28. Ayala’s next appearance for the alleged courtroom attack will be
For all the images of ski resorts and snow-capped peaks, Colorado is experiencing shorter winters and hotter summers that are increasingly putting people at risk for heat-related illnesses. Yet until this year, the National Weather Service hadn’t issued a heat advisory for the Denver metropolitan
the state.
“We have never been able to issue them based on the old ways of looking at heat impact,” said Paul Schlatter, sciences and operations officer with the National Weather Service in Boulder. “Now with HeatRisk, it’s much easier. It shows up really nicely and gets to the real impact for Colorado.”
area in 13 years.
That’s because the heat index commonly used by the weather service to gauge the health risks of hot weather relies on temperature and humidity. Colorado’s climate is so dry that reaching the thresholds for that kind of heat advisory is nearly impossible.
But this year, the National Weather Service in Colorado adopted a prototype heat warning index, known as HeatRisk, that is used in California and other parts of the Western U.S. and relies on local climate data to determine how much hotter than normal the temperature will be and what the hazards could be to people.
The result is a more defined standard for warning people about heat and a higher likelihood that an advisory will be issued in Denver and other areas of the state. Since adopting the HeatRisk index at the start of the year, the weather service has issued five heat advisories for the northeastern part of
On July 18, for example, Denver had a high temperature of 100 degrees and a relative humidity of 13%. That put the traditional heat index at 94 degrees, below the threshold for a heat advisory, Schlatter said. But the heat was high enough under the new system to issue a heat advisory.
The weather service has three tiers of alerts about weather — advisories, watches, and warnings — but the Denver region hasn’t reached the most severe tiers. Still, even the heat advisories are crucial for public health. In Denver, a heat advisory triggers the opening of cooling centers and alerts residents to avoid exertion during the hottest parts of the day.
“If you look back before 2010, Denver would average less than one day per summer of 100 degrees or more,” said Gregg Thomas, director of the Environmental Quality Division of the Denver Department of Public Health and Environment. “Now it seems
we’re in that handful of days at or above 100. It’s in line with what the projections have been saying for climate change with hotter and drier summers.”
Denver has had four triple-digit temperature days so far in 2022. The record was set in 2012, when the city had 13.
The Boulder weather service office started evaluating the HeatRisk index three years ago and found that emergency room admissions for heat-related illnesses tended to increase on the same days that the index indicated high risk. However, that data may underestimate the true health impact of extreme temperatures because heat can exacerbate other conditions, such as kidney disease or diabetes, that aren’t counted in heat illness numbers. And research has shown that mental health conditions can flare during hot weather.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heat leads to more than 67,000 emergency room visits, 9,000 hospitalizations, and 700 deaths each year in the U.S. Extreme heat kills more Americans than any other type of weather hazard.
“People see heat as more of a nuisance,” said Kimberly McMahon, public weather services program manager for the National Weather Service. “The biggest challenge — no matter what index we’re using — is having people recognize that heat is dangerous and can lead to death.”
The HeatRisk index got its start in 2013, when the California Office of Emergency Services approached the National Weather Service’s western region headquarters about providing a more consistent heat advisory tool than the heat index.
The heat index criteria for issuing an advisory was lower in Northern California and in the mountains than in Southern Califor-

Fed up with immense workloads, Colorado’s public defenders launched a unionization drive on Thursday hoping to organize attorneys, paralegals, investigators, social workers, and administrative staff even though Colorado law blocks them from collective bargaining.
If successful, the Defenders Union of Colorado would join unions in Minnesota and Pennsylvania to become one of the few public defense staff unions in the country.
The effort to organize follows a chaotic year for courthouses in Colorado, with pandemic delays pushing backlogged jury trials handled by both public and private attorneys up from around 2,700 on a typical year to roughly 14,600 in 2021, The Denver Post reported.
“Every day you write yourself this to-do list that can’t possibly be done in single day,” said Kiyomi Bolick, a lead deputy public defend-
er and co-chair of the organizing committee.
Nearly 40% of regional managers for the state’s public defender’s office left their posts in the last 18 months, Bolick said.
“We are dropping like flies. People need hope. People need a reason to believe this is going to change,” Bolick said.
The same effect has been felt across the country. Oregon’s understaffed public defenders office begged private attorneys to take cases as some defendants sat jailed without representation for months while Minnesota’s public defenders threatened a strike — a nearly unprecedented action for public defense attorneys — over high caseloads and low pay in March.
Partly in response to the havoc caused by the pandemic, President Joe Biden earlier this year took executive action attempting to ensure Americans have better access to legal representation, rebuilding services that decayed during the Trump Administration.
In Colorado, Bolick said around 750 employees would be eligible to join the Defenders Union of Colorado, affiliated with the Communications Workers of America, Local 7799.
Even though Colorado law doesn’t offer judicial employees a legal avenue to collectively bargain, “our belief is that no one has to grant a worker the right to unionize,” said Bolick, “that is fundamental and has been born out of centuries of worker exploitation in our
history.”
Maureen Cain, director of external communications for the Office of the Colorado State Public Defender, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Those leading the charge hope they can build enough political momentum to pressure the state legislature to pass a law rolling back that prohibition and codifying the right to organize.
But “that doesn’t mean we are not allowed to actively take on campaigns to try and improve working conditions while we wait for the legislature to catch up,” said Bolick. Similarly, a bill passed earlier this year opened the doors for
some county workers in Colorado to unionize without first needing permission from their bosses.
That bill, however, was hardfought. After receiving pushback from Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, the negotiations shrank the original intent to give over 250,000 workers the right to unionize down to only 40,000.
Bolick plans for the Defenders Union of Colorado to garner enough members to ratify their own bylaws and hold elections for a more formal structure by the end of the year.
When Roland and his wife, Jossline, arrived, Brown told them he had accidentally brought the wrong vehicle title and asked the couple to meet him elsewhere, according to the lawsuit.
They followed the man to the address, where Brown was accused of pulling a handgun and shooting the couple after Joseph Rolands’ tried to wrestle the weapon away. Investigators say the teen then fled with $3,000 in cash the Rolands had brought with them to pay for the SUV.

U.S. District Court Judge Charlotte Sweeney granted the restraining order on Tuesday in a lawsuit brought by the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners over Boulder County’s recent gun control rules that include a ban on assault weapons.
It’s the fifth lawsuit brought by the gun advocacy group in Colorado — including one targeting the state’s 15-round magazine capacity limit — after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a New York gun law.

higher in mid-summer than in May or September.
HeatRisk also factors in whether nighttime temperatures drop below 70 degrees, giving people and buildings a chance to cool off. Most of Colorado rarely has nights in which temperatures stay above 70.
A Colorado jury on Wednesday convicted a man of fatally shooting the parents of five children who were trying to buy an SUV in 2020 using the online marketplace app Letgo.
Arapahoe County jurors convicted Kyree Brown, 20, of multiple counts, including first-degree murder, in the killings of Joe and Jossline Roland on Aug. 14, 2020, KUSA-TV reported.
The deaths led to a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the victims’ family that claims Letgo, which has been acquired by OfferUp, was negligent because it allowed the alleged shooter to become a “verified seller” using a fake name and despite his criminal history.
That federal court case is still working its way through the legal system.
Authorities say Joseph Roland was looking for a vehicle for his teenage daughter and found a Toyota RAV4 advertised by a “verified seller” on Letgo named James Worthy, who was really Brown, then 18. Roland agreed to meet Brown in a parking lot near a mall in Aurora.
Brown was arrested about two weeks after the shooting. He faces up to life in prison for the first-degree murder convictions. A sentencing hearing was set for Nov. 21.
Letgo and OfferUp have filed a pending motion to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing, in part, that the company encourages users to exercise caution and use third-party meetup spots like police stations and that users acknowledge there are risks when buying and selling on an internet-based marketplace.
The motion argues that Letgo and OfferUp cannot “guarantee to each of its millions of users that engaging in real-world transactions with someone initially contacted through an ad posted on the Letgo platform would be entirely free from risk.”
“The site provided its users with guidelines for how to buy and sell safely, cautioning that there is always some danger involved in transacting with buyers or sellers who are met initially online — whether on Letgo or some other platform,” the motion states.

Boulder County is the second Colorado municipality to be hit with a temporary restraining order by a federal judge over its gun control
The high court’s ruling reinforces the group’s belief that the local gun restrictions infringe on Second Amendment rights. The organization promised a wave of lawsuits following the decision.
Now, the group is suing the City of Boulder, City of Louisville, and the Town of Superior over similar gun restrictions in legal battles that may set the groundwork for future Second Amendment litigation.
In the motion for a temporary restraining order, the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners’ lawyers cited the temporary restraining order granted by another federal judge against Town of Superior last month.
“After the Superior case, it was pretty much a slam dunk for us,” said Taylor Rhodes, Rocky Mountain Gun Owners’ executive director, “We fully expect to win all five of our suits now.”
Gloria Handyside, spokesperson for Boulder County, said in a statement, “The county plans to present a defense of its ordinance, along with the municipal ordinances, at a preliminary injunction hearing. At the hearing, the county will demonstrate that its assault weapons ordinance is constitutionally sound.”
Also on Tuesday, Superior filed an unopposed motion requesting to consolidate the four lawsuits into one. The Rocky Mountain Gun Owners supports the motion and is awaiting a decision from the judge.

Colorado is in the weather service’s central region. After weather service officials in Boulder learned of the new index in 2019, they contacted the other Colorado weather service offices, in Grand Junction and Pueblo, and they all agreed to use the HeatRisk index for issuing weather advisories starting this year.
McMahon stressed that the heat index is just one way of evaluating extreme heat and that weather service offices in the western region and Colorado can use a combination of HeatRisk, the traditional heat index, and maximum temperature to determine when to issue an advisory.
The heat index was developed in 1979 by Robert Steadman, a physicist working in the textile industry, to measure how hot it feels when both temperature and humidity are high.
Recent research from the University of California-Berkeley suggests that the traditional heat index may underestimate the health risks of extreme temperatures by as much as 20 degrees. David Romps, a Berkeley professor of Earth and planetary science who conducted the research along with graduate student Yi-Chuan Lu, said they mapped the heat index to people’s physiological states and found skin blood flow so elevated at extreme temperatures that their bodies were nearly unable to compensate.
Once the skin temperature rises to equal the body’s core temperature of 98.6 degrees, the core temperature begins to increase. The maximum survivable core temperature is thought to be 107 degrees.
“So we’re closer to the edge than we thought we were before,” Romps said.
The researchers tweaked the formula of the traditional heat index and then applied that fix to past heat waves. They found, for example, that during a July 1995 heat wave in Chicago, which killed at least 465 people, the National Weather Service had reported the heat index as high as 135 degrees when the temperature really felt like 154 degrees. Romps said he has sent the research to the weather service.
The HeatRisk index aims to show how much hotter than normal the temperature is. For example, it accounts for whether a hot day occurs early in the summer, before people have gotten used to the heat, and for consecutive days of hot weather. The thresholds for a heat advisory using the HeatRisk index are
Such factors are combined to determine a HeatRisk index score from 0 to 4, matched with a color scale, from green to magenta. A score of 3 would trigger an advisory and 4 a heat warning.
A healthy person may be fine when the heat risk is in the yellow zone, but older people, young children, and pregnant women may want to take precautions. Also, some medications can affect people’s ability to regulate their body temperature, putting them at higher risk even at lower risk thresholds.
It’s then up to local health jurisdictions to determine how to react to the weather service’s heat notices. Despite the warming trend — a 2-degree Fahrenheit increase in average Colorado temperatures over the past 30 years — most counties in the state lack extreme heat mitigation plans.
When Grace Hood joined the Boulder County Public Health Department as a public health planner in October, she was tasked with putting together an extreme heat advisory plan. She presented the plan to the county board of health on June 13, just three days before the weather service issued its first heat advisory for Boulder since 2008.
“Holy cow,” she thought. “Here we go.”
Boulder has had four heat advisories this summer. When public health officials tracked who showed up in the emergency room with heat-related illnesses on those days, two groups stood out: older people and outdoor athletes.
The health department then worked with the Parks and Recreation Department to identify trails with high sun exposure and posted extreme heat safety information at trailheads.
Denver public health officials only recently adopted an extreme heat plan. It includes advising people to go to cooling locations, mainly recreation centers and libraries, if they lack air conditioning at home. According to Denver public health officials, about 75% of the city’s housing was built before 1980, when summers weren’t as hot. An estimated 30% to 40% of homes lack air conditioning.
The National Weather Service is collecting feedback on the HeatRisk prototype, taking public comments through Sept. 30.
“So far, I would call it a win,” Schlatter said. “We just have a better understanding of which days are really going to be the problem days for the health department folks to focus on.”
MaryKate Berg is in a quandry when she is in the goal for the Regis Jesuit field hockey team.
Her love of the sport causes her to want the ball to come to her, but similarly she doesn’t want it anywhere near her to keep her opponents off the scoreboard.
Regis Jesuit’s star backstop — who has been in the goal for consecutive state championship-winning seasons for coach Spencer Wagner’s team — is OK with boredom.
HOCKEYRegis Jesuit shut out 14 opponents last season — including high-scoring Colorado Academy 1-0 in the state final — and Berg (who has committed to Davidson College) allowed just a total of five goals all season.
With overtime rules moving to 7-on-7 this year, Wagner is glad to have such an experienced goalie and leader that can make the difference when pressure situations arise.
“That change makes things a little more terrifying, but in a coinflip match, I feel like MK is going to give us the edge,” Wagner said. of Berg.
“I love touching the ball, but it’s also great to see it on the other side of the field,” Berg said with a chuckle after Regis Jesuit’s 6-0 shutout win over Grandview Aug. 29 at Legacy Stadium.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor“I love watching our team play, so it’s really not that boring,” she added. “They’re really good at working together, so it’s really fun to watch.”
Berg has been a common denominator of both of two state championships for Regis Jesuit in a sixth-month span, beginning with the 2020 season actually contested in the spring of 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic followed by the normal season that concluded last fall.
Things have changed in terms of offense for Regis Jesuit, however.
Ten new players have assumed key role and the attack will now feature many more players involved, instead of just a few as in years past.
“The name of the game of us this year on offense is diversity,” Wagner said. “We’re attacking as a team, using our speed and communication and they’ve done that so far.”
Indeed the Raiders have spread the offensive wealth during a 4-0 start that has seen them pile up 20 goals. Those goals have come from eight different players, while a whopping 11 have registered at least one assist.
Senior Carly Kennedy (6 goals, 2 assists) and junior Sydney Cornell (6 goals, 2 assists) both sit in a tie for the most points in the state
with 14, while junior Sloan Anderson has four goals and eight points to rank sixth — but seven different players have scored, while a whopping 11 have recorded at least one assist.

Rangeview and Eaglecrest high schools will honor some past luminaries in athletics and activities at upcoming Hall of Fame ceremonies.
A 6:30 p.m. Sept. 17 ceremony in Rangeview’s auditorium will recognize the school’s Class of 2022 in its Athletic Hall of Fame: Lars Van Etten (Class of 1989), Terry Davis (Class of 1993), Katie Termeer (Class of 2004), Corey Nabors (Class of 2006), Davy Armstrong (Class of 2010), Jaleel Awini (Class of 2011), coaches Dave Gonzales and Rob Schurich, game announcer Rich Gomez — who has been with the school since it opened — and athletic secretary Wanda Brynoff.
The group will also be honored at Rangeview’s Sept. 29 Homecoming football game.
Eaglecrest’s Athletics & Activities Hall of Fame will induct its eighth class at a ceremony at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 17 at Heritage Eagle Bend. The Class of 2022 is made up of athletes Xavier Lewis, Serena Johnson and TreShawn Wilford, while 2021 selection Sarah Wire (a key contributor to the school’s newspaper) will also be included after she was unable to attend last year.
The Smoky Hill football team turned in a quality performance to open the season, but it will no longer appear in the win column.
The Buffaloes defeated Denver East 40-21 on Aug. 27 at All-City Stadium in Denver, but the game had to be forfeited due to the discovery that a player who was academically ineligible had played in the game according to Smoky Hill athletic director John Thompson.
The school self-reported the violation to the Colorado High School Activities Association and counted the game as a forfeit to the Angels.
“Everybody feels bad about it, but it’s the right thing to do,” Thompson told the Sentinel
A wild Week 2 saw Aurora teams finish 6-5 in games spread out over three days as scheduled or because of the intervention of weather.
Five of the six wins earned by city programs came Sept. 1, as Aurora Central, Eaglecrest, Grandview, Overland and Rangeview all prevailed in their contests, while Vista PEAK picked up the last win Sept. 2.
Grandview moved to 2-0 with a 4917 road win over Fossil Ridge at Timnath Stadium in Fort Collins as quarterback Liam Szarka racked up 335 yards of total offense and accounted for four touchdowns (three passing,
one rushing), while Donovan Vernon rushed for two touchdowns.
Eaglecrest also improved to 2-0 with a 32-20 victory over Horizon in a game in which the Raptors scored 20 straight points after trailing by two at halftime. Jacob Schmitt’s third touchdown pass of the night (a 51-yard score to Burke Withycombe) gave Eaglecrest the lead for good and Diego Cearns and David Torres added rushing touchdowns (the former set up by a Peyton Taylor interception).
DJ Collins rushed for a touchdown and returned a punt for a score in the fourth quarter as Rangeview moved to 2-0 with a 34-12 win at Westminster.
Armani Patterson also scored for the Raiders on the ground.
Aurora Central evened its record at 1-1 in a big way with a 56-0 win over rival Hinkley at APS Stadium. Cai’Reis
Curby had a rushing touchdown and a punt return score and Simone Veasley also ran for a touchdown in the opening half to get the Trojans going.
Overland is also now 1-1 in the wake of a 35-21 road win over Prairie View that was keyed by several big plays. Komari Owens had a 90-yard interception return for a score, while Andre Veasley found Talil Seals-Fisher with a touchdown pass and Jarrius Ward ran for a pair of scores.
Only one of the three games started on Sept. 2 played to the finish thanks to late-arriving lightning and rain. Smoky Hill’s matinee with Rock Canyon at Legacy Stadium started slow, but finished with a flourish. In a rematch of teams that rang up more than 100 points in a playoff matchup last season , the Buffaloes got two late touchdown passes from Tyliq Bowers to Troydell Dixon Jr., but fell short in a 26-19 defeat. Bowers also threw a touchdown pass to Jamahll Humphrey for Smoky Hill (0-2).
A large lightning storm arrived midway through the evening and forced Gateway’s game with Northglenn to be declared over at halftime, with the
Olys falling 12-6. Amarion Lacour had a 59-yard kickoff return touchdown for Gateway (0-2).
Ellis Williams’ 60-yard interception return touchdown gave Cherokee Trail a fast start against Rocky Mountain at before play was stopped by lightning early in the second quarter. The game’s conclusion was shifted to Sept. 3 in Fort Collins and the Lobos prevailed 17-14 in overtime to send the Cougars to 1-1.
Vista PEAK moved to 1-1 with a 22-19 road win at Brighton Sept. 3 that included a long touchdown run from Cortlen Johnson Jr. in addition to Calem Moore’s defensive score.
Coming off a big Week 1 win over Valor Christian, Regis Jesuit traveled to California and battled Oaks Christian before dropping a 34-28 contest Sept. 3. Exander Carroll threw a touchdown pass to Andrew Metzger and Anthony Medina rushed for a score for the Raiders.

WriterAurora’s founding on land taken from Native Americans recently divided its city council over how best to address or even ignore injustices of the past, raising the question: how far removed the city is, or should be, from its colonial history?
If the timeline of human settlement near Aurora spanned the length of a football field, the period of indigenous control would stretch nearly from end zone to end zone, with the story of the 131-year-old City of Aurora told only in the final few feet.
For thousands of years, indigenous Americans called the region home, migrating over the plains and into the foothills in pursuit of game and winter shelter, developing a complex and strong relationship with the land.
Acknowledging Aurora’s indigenous history by way of a short statement before meetings was last month considered and rejected by the city council, but ultimately embraced by the mayor who read an acknowledgement for the first time before the group’s meeting on Aug. 22.

In this Dec. 27, 2019, photo, an entrance sign is shown at the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site in Eads, Co. This quiet piece of land tucked away in rural southeastern Colorado seeks to honor the 230 peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho tribe members who were slaughtered by the U.S. Army in 1864. It was one of worst mass murders in U.S. history.
Much longer ago than Europeans, even before they were Europeans
Historian Elliott West writes in his 1998 book “The Contested Plains” that the prairies of Colorado may have been one of the first corners of the country to be inhabited by man.
America’s first immigrants likely crossed a “land bridge” connecting Siberia and Alaska that was exposed by falling sea levels during the last Ice Age, between 12,000 and 14,000 years ago.
As they moved southward, deeper into the interior of the continent, the newcomers would have followed the Rocky Mountains, seeking out more moderate weather at the base of the Front Range.
“The first Americans might have camped along creeks and in clusters of timber where Denver and Colorado Springs later appeared,” West wrote. “They may have stayed for decades or for centuries.”
According to West, those early denizens of the Front Range would have been part of the Clovis — and later Folsom — cultures. They were accomplished hunters, who stalked the hulking Bison antiquus over the same terrain where the Cheyenne and Arapaho would hunt modern bison many thousands of years later.
At one site in Yuma County, dating back 10,000 years, the butchered skeletons of more than 300 bison, as well as remnants of ancient weapons and tools, have been uncovered, testifying to the success of the early plains hunters.
“For 5,000 years, nearly half its human story, the central plains were home to a series of societies of master hunters,” West writes. “Several millennia before the birth of Christ, the plains already lay deep in a history of movement and adjustment, crisis and resolution.”
Shrinking bison herds led to the development of a seasonal rhythm among Colorado’s indigenous people. In the valleys near the base of the Front Range, rivers converged and the terrain offered shelter from the wind, which made them an attractive place to hunker down during the winter.
As the weather warmed, small groups would move
north into Wyoming and west into North Park and Middle Park, where they found animals to hunt and quartz to make tools.
With the arrival of fall, groups would coordinate large hunts, using elaborate stone structures to funnel herds of animals into pens where they would be slaughtered en masse, before the snow again drove the hunters down into their winter camps.
“This arrangement proved flexible and sustaining for more than sixty centuries, from the time when Sumerians were founding Babylon until the eve of the present,” West writes. “White pioneers who moved onto the plains east to west believed they were leaving the old country for the new. They had it exactly backward.”
Spain and France became the first European nations to stake claims to parts of Colorado in the 17th and 18th centuries. West writes that the Cheyenne called the first European traders veho, while the Arapaho called them niatha — both words meaning “spider,” in reference to the ingenuity of the foreigners who brought never-before-seen trade goods like iron cookware and firearms.
Guns as well as horses, which were also introduced by whites, radically changed life on the plains, giving the indigenous tribes a leg up in hunting and warfare. The Europeans also brought with them diseases that wiped out many of the immunologically-sheltered natives.
By 1803, the land that would one day become Aurora was included in the French territory of Louisiana — a vast swath of land stretching from New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico in the south to present-day Saskatchewan in the north. That year, France sold the United States its interest in Louisiana for $15 million, or about $342 million in modern currency, according to one estimate by National Geographic.
French and American control over most of the territory was nominal in 1803. But the Louisiana Purchase laid the groundwork for the U.S. government to initiate the final stage of white settlement that would ultimately sever the relationship between Native Coloradans and their homelands.
According to Colorado Encyclopedia — an online reference material developed by Colorado State University, Colorado Humanities and the University Press of Colorado — fur traders were active in Arapahoe County by the 1820s, and in 1832, the first trading post on the South Platte River was established along Cherry Creek.
West writes that the Arapaho had forged a strong alliance with the Cheyenne and abandoned an agricultural existence in the east for a life on horseback by the 1820s.
The Cheyenne, too, adopted the life of nomadic horsemen, giving them the ability to hunt bison more efficiently and mediate the trade between Native Americans and the European colonists to the east and south. They came to Colorado in the early 1800s, according to West.
Life on horseback followed a new seasonal cycle of migration, with hunters fattening their horses on spring greenery before riding to hunt bison and fight rival tribes during the summer.
In the fall, the hunting groups would disperse and then winter in the relative shelter of river bottoms, near cottonwoods that could be burned for warmth and whose branches and bark could be fed to horses if no other food was available.
The Arapaho and Cheyenne shared control of the land that would be Aurora by the time the American pioneers began their westward migration through and into Colorado. Peace with the nearby Apache, Comanche and Kiowa peoples was achieved in 1840 through an agreement mediated in part by Arapaho chief Little Raven.
Brothers Ben Ridgley and Gail and Eugene Ridgely of the Northern Arapaho trace their lineage back to Little Raven — they described him as a skilled diplomat and an ambassador for the native peoples of Colorado.
“He looked out for the people’s interests,” Ben Ridgley said. “I think he thought he would remain in good standing with the U.S. government at that time, but it didn’t happen that way.”
Little Raven would eventually set up camp with
a few hundred others along Cherry Creek — Gail Ridgely said the American government forced the chief to leave in the late 1850s.
The discovery of gold in Englewood’s Little Dry Creek and later Clear Creek greatly accelerated the movement of white settlers into Colorado around that time, leading to the establishment of mining camps that would later grow into cities like Denver and Boulder.
In “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” author and historian Dee Brown says Little Raven told the eager miners that he was “glad to see them getting gold, but reminded them that the land belonged to the Indians, and expressed the hope they would not stay around after they found all the yellow metal they needed.”
But many of the settlers had no plans of leaving. Geoffrey Hunt, a retired history professor and former chair of social sciences at the Community College of Aurora, framed the conflict between the settlers and Native Americans in terms of competition over precious, limited resources like bison and timber.
“By the 1850s, the buffalo were pretty well cleared out of Colorado’s plains. And then when you have 100,000 people coming across the plains in one summer, that drives away the game from the trails,” Hunt said. “There went the neighborhood.”
In 1851, at a spot near Fort Laramie in present-day Wyoming, the U.S. government signed an agreement with a handful of tribes, which in part recognized a swath of territory extending over much of eastern Colorado, including land as far west as Denver and Aurora, as reserved for the Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples. The tribes in exchange agreed to leave westward-traveling Americans alone.
But as white goldseekers — and later farmers and ranchers — competed for the resources that were the pillars of native life, frustrations grew.
The U.S. government gathered some chiefs together at Fort Wise in 1861 to present a new agreement — this time, the United States proposed to relegate the Cheyenne and Arapaho to a reservation on a fraction of the land promised a decade earlier in exchange for pledges of government assistance.
The Treaty of Fort Wise was signed, though Colorado Encyclopedia states the chiefs later said they did not understand the terms. The agreement also failed to move the majority of the tribes onto the reservation next to the Arkansas River and Big Sandy Creek.
Tensions between settlers and Colorado’s indigenous people erupted finally in November 1864, with the unprovoked massacre of hundreds of Cheyenne and Arapaho women, children and elders on the banks of Big Sandy Creek by U.S. volunteer cavalry led by Col. John Chivington.
Ryan Ortiz — a representative of the Northern Arapaho to the Sand Creek Massacre Foundation who traces his ancestry back to the massacred chief White Antelope — described the infamous killing as the result of years of policy decisions that stripped the plains tribes of their lands and legalized violence against them by whites.
He mentioned in particular then-Territorial Governor John Evans’ proclamation in August 1864 that it was legal “to kill and destroy, as enemies of the country… all hostile Indians.” The declaration was formally rescinded last year. Evans also appointed Chivington to lead the Colorado Volunteers in 1864, prior to the massacre.
“He essentially gave a loaded gun to Chivington,” Ortiz said. “At that time, the tribes were trying to negotiate peaceful means to be able to live. Evans, and Chivington, and the people of that time, they didn’t want that. They wanted to kill the Indians.”
After the killing, the Sand Creek soldiers parad-

ed into Denver with grisly trophies taken from the massacre site, including scalps, human fetuses and genitals severed from the corpses of victims.
Ortiz said the display was meant to further terrorize the state’s native populace, but the events of Sand Creek also kindled an armed resistance against the U.S. government, prompting years of fighting between native tribes and American soldiers.
“The Sand Creek Massacre set the plains on fire,” Hunt said. “And that spring, it blew wide open. The Indian fighting didn’t stop until years later.”
Vastly outgunned, the alliance of plains tribes failed to stop the westward invasion. Though fighting would continue into the 1870s, in 1867, a group of chiefs signed the Medicine Lodge Treaty, under which the Cheyenne and Arapaho relinquished their reservation southeast of Denver for lands in Oklahoma.
A little over a decade later, some of the remaining Arapaho would be transported to a Shoshone reservation in Wyoming, known today as the Wind River Indian Reservation.
A document shared by Gail Ridgely also states that 73 Arapaho and Shoshone children were sent east on trains after Carlisle Indian Industrial School opened in Pennsylvania in 1879. Only 26 children would survive the experience, according to the document, as tuberculosis and other diseases claimed many lives.
Ortiz said Aurora’s indigenous forebears were distrustful and traumatized by Sand Creek when they were compelled to leave the state, describing the tribes’ relocation to their Colorado reservation in 1861 as being ”sent there to be murdered.”
“We were living one way peacefully, striving to live, and after that, it was chaos, and everything changed, and people were struggling just to survive,” Ortiz said.

Later in the summer, Jackson and fellow commissioners Jeff Baker, Bill Holen and Carrie Warren-Gully visited the tribe’s Wyoming reservation and were given a tour of tribal facilities and programs.
In Aurora, the discussion of how to honor the city’s indigenous history trended recently toward land acknowledgements — a statement read before the meetings of an organization recognizing indigenous tribes as the original stewards of American land.
Denver’s council began reading an acknowledgement before its meetings in 2020. A proposed acknowledgement came before the Aurora City Council in August, naming the Cheyenne, Ute, Arapaho and Lakota people as the region’s original settlers:
“The City of Aurora acknowledges that we gather on the territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Ute, Arapaho and Lakota peoples, past and present. We also recognize the 48 contemporary tribal nations that are historically tied to the lands that make up the State of Colorado. Indigenous people have remained committed to the stewardship of this land over many centuries.
As these words of acknowledgment are spoken and heard, the ties that these nations have to their traditional homelands and to their vital place in the ecosystem are renewed and reaffirmed, and we are called to be better stewards of the land we inhabit as we continue to work to meet the needs of our entire community.”
The idea was shot down by council conservatives — one member, Danielle Jurinsky, said she was “adamantly against” the acknowledgement as written and would only support an acknowledgement that recognized Aurora as “God’s country” — but Mayor Mike Coffman opted to read the statement anyway at the start of the council’s Aug. 22 meeting.
“While I joined with some members who complained that some of the language of the resolution was controversial, the actual language of the Land Acknowledgement, in my view, is not controversial,” Coffman wrote in an Aug. 16 social media post, adding that he would include the statement “at my discretion” in the council’s opening prayer.
Other conservatives said at the time that they thought an acknowledgement could be divisive and questioned why the acknowledgement focused on the harm done to Native Americans rather than the injustices of conquest in general.
“Land has been conquered from all racial groups, and that’s where I’m struggling with this,” Councilmember Angela Lawson said. “It seems like this could be kind of divisive in a way.”
Council progressives were supportive of the acknowledgement, with Crystal Murillo saying it would “show a sign of respect to our indigenous community,” and Ruben Medina saying the practice was common in other colonial nations.
“It’s just respecting the past,” Medina said. “It’s something that’s going on worldwide.”
“It was all a forced removal,” Hunt said. “And there’s no way to sugarcoat that.”
The former professor said the idea that native lands were obtained by diplomacy is a myth — treaties were broken by the United States and rewritten to suit its interests, and the chiefs who signed in some cases could not have represented the entirety of a tribe.
“No one could speak for the entire people. And then, once you’ve signed it, how do you get the white folks to honor the treaty? That’s not going to happen,” Hunt said. “None of these treaties were willingly entered into by the indigenous nations. They were all more or less forced choices.”
Colorado was elevated from a territory to a state in 1876. Aurora was incorporated as the Town of Fletcher some 15 years later, acquiring its present name in 1907.
Since the century of upheaval which expelled Colorado’s native people, the ancestors of émigrés and those killed in clashes with settlers have fought to preserve the early history of Colorado.
By supporting the mission of the Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site, seeking out research and archival materials, partnering with tribal organizations and creating educational materials, those involved with the Sand Creek Massacre Foundation work to immortalize the hundreds killed on lands where they had been guaranteed safety.
“All of this time, Sand Creek was the start of what the tribe’s historical trauma is today,” Ortiz said. “I know it’s shameful, and they’d rather not teach it in schools. They’d rather talk about Governor Evans as the founder of (the University of Denver) than as a person culpable for the massacre.”
“I get asked all of the time why I’m doing this,” Gail Ridgely said. “It’s a healing process, not only for the victims, but for the people of Colorado. … We’ve got to remember what happened at Sand Creek.”
Local governments have also pursued closer ties with the indigenous nations —- in June, Arapahoe County renewed its partnership with the Northern Arapaho Tribe of Wyoming with an agreement signed by Nancy Jackson of the Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners and tribal elder
While some have criticized land acknowledgements as performative, Hunt said he believed the statements send an important message of awareness and openness to those residents of settler communities who can trace their roots back to the indigenous tribes of Colorado.
“They’re still here. They didn’t vanish. There are still tribal members living and working in Aurora, and being insulted by the city council, and living along the Front Range. They’re not a vanished people,” Hunt said.
Ortiz said he thought acknowledgements like the one considered by Aurora’s council was “just the beginning” of healing, but would be appreciated by the Arapaho people.
And for Ben Ridgley — whose ancestor, Little Raven, reportedly said during treaty negotiations in 1865 that “it will be a very hard thing to leave the country that God gave us” — the land where Aurora was built was more than property changing hands.
“We didn’t look at it as an asset. It was our nature of living. It was our home,” he said. “When you’re living somewhere, you’ve got to remember the people who came before you.”
nticipation for one of the fall’s likeliest bestsellers has been growing all year.
For months, Colleen Hoover’s millions of fans on TikTok, Instagram and elsewhere have been talking up and posting early excerpts from her novel “It Starts With Us.” By summer, the author’s sequel to her bestselling “It Ends With Us” had already reached the top 10 Amazon.com. It might have climbed higher but for competition from other Hoover novels, including “Ugly Love,” “Verity” and, of course, “It Ends With Us,” the dramatic tale of a love triangle and a woman’s endurance of domestic abuse that young TikTok users have embraced and helped make Hoover the country’s most popular fiction writer.
Hoover’s extraordinary run on bestseller lists, from Amazon.com to The New York Times, has been Beatle-esque for much of 2022, with four or more books likely to appear in the top 10 at a given moment. “It Starts With Us” had been so eagerly desired by her admirers — CoHorts, some call themselves — that she broke a personal rule: Don’t let “outside influences” determine her next book.
“I never allowed myself to entertain a sequel, but with the amount of people emailing me every day and tagging me in an online petition to write about (those characters), their story began to build in my head in the same way my other books begin,” she told The Associated Press in a recent email. “Eventually I craved telling this story as much as I did my other stories, so I owe the readers a big thank you for the nudging.”
Hoover’s new book should help extend what has been another solid year for the industry. Booksellers are looking
Aforward to a mix of commercial favorites such as Hoover, Anthony Horowitz, Beverly Jenkins and Veronica Roth alongside what Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt calls a “really strong” lineup of literary releases, including novels by Ian McEwan and Kate Atkinson.
The fall also will feature new fiction from Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk and Pulitzer Prize-winners Elizabeth Strout and Andrew Sean Greer. Celeste Ng’s “Our Missing Hearts” is her first novel since “Little Fires Everywhere.” Story collections are expected from George Saunders, Andrea Barrett and Ling Ma, along with novels by Percival Everett, Barbara Kingsolver, Kevin Wilson, N.K. Jemisin, Lydia Millet and Yiyun Li.
Joe Concha’s “Come On, Man!: The Truth About Joe Biden’s Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Presidency” is the most colorfully named of the latest round of books attacking an incumbent president — a long and profitable publishing tradition. But the most high-profile works of political reporting dwell on Biden’s predecessor, Donald Trump, among them “Confidence Man,” by The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, and “The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017–2021,” by Peter Baker of the Times and Susan Glasser of The New Yorker.
Michelle Obama’s “The Light We Carry” is her first entirely new book since her worldwide bestseller from 2018, “Becoming.” Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Bibi” is the first memoir by the former Israeli Prime Minister, while American politicians with new books include Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke.
Celebrity books include Bono’s “Surrender,” Matthew Perry’s “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing” and Geena Davis’ “Dying of Politeness.” Bob Dylan reflects
upon an art form he helped reinvent in “The Philosophy of Modern Song,” while the title of Jan Wenner’s memoir invokes the Dylan classic that helped inspire the name of the magazine he founded, “Like a Rolling Stone.”
History books will cover the famous and the overlooked. Among the former are Pulitzer-winner Jon Meacham’s “And There Was Light,” the latest entry into the canon of Abraham Lincoln scholarship, and Pulitzer-winner Stacy Schiff’s biography of Samuel Adams, “The Revolutionary.” Fred Kaplan, who focused on Lincoln’s prose in “Lincoln: The Biography of a Writer,” now assesses Thomas Jefferson in “His Masterly Pen: A Biography of Jefferson the Writer.”
Releases highlighting those less remembered include Kevin Hazzard’s “American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America’s First Paramedics,” and Katie Hickman’s “Brave Hearted: The Women of the American West.” With the overturning last summer of Roe v. Wade, Laura Kaplan’s “The Story of Jane” is a timely reissue of her 1995 book about the underground abortion counseling service founded in Chicago in 1969, four years before the Supreme Court’s historic Roe ruling.
Bruce Henderson’s “Bridge to the Sun” centers on the recruitment of Japanese-Americans, some of whom had been in internment camps, to assist in U.S. intelligence gathering during World War II.
“It was really hard to research because many of them had been working on top secret projects, and, even after they had been discharged, were reminded that they were under the National Security Act and that military secrets had to be kept,” Henderson says. “We had to do a lot of digging and contact families and see what the veterans had left behind. Of the six guys that I follow in my book, only one was still alive.”

If that doesn’t sound like the ideal Saturday morning, then we’re not sure you can be helped, and before you think we’re headed to the airport way too early because dad likes to be at the gate 2.5 hours ahead of boarding, think again (and tell dad to get TSA pre-check for goodness sake). Each first Saturday of the month, Wings Over the Rockies hosts aeronautical enthusiasts to have breakfast and watch local aircrafts fly in (pilots can fly in for a free breakfast). There’s just something about the roar of a small plane’s engine that pairs nicely with French toast sticks, you know? After that, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with some seriously cool planes for a few hours and enjoy interactive exhibits and simulators. Sounds cool? You can pre-purchase tickets at the Wings website.
