Trump was right. It could happen to you, or anyone — and it should

Donald Trump is absolutely right.

“If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone,” Trump said Friday, speaking at Trump Tower in New York on Friday. Trump, who has proven many points about himself simply by repeating them over and over, made it clear during the past few days how aghast he is that the government and courts would dare to accuse him, Donald Trump, of crimes. He is astonished and furious that prosecutors were allowed to drag him into court to face charges, and use the same judicial system that has been imposed on millions of people for hundreds of years — to convict him, Donald Trump.

DAVE PERRY Editor

Proving what so many celebrity politicians and experts said, who were neither shocked nor surprised by the verdict of guilty on 34 counts Thursday afternoon, is that, despite attempts by Trump and others, truly, no one, not even Donald Trump, is above the law in the United States.

Trump is dead right. If the justice system can do this to Trump, they can do it to anyone.

If any U.S. politician pays their fixer attorney to pay porn stars or centerfold models money to not go public with their stories to keep the scandal from scuttling their election chances, and then lie about where the money came from and what it was for, they, too, would face similar or even the exact same charges.

Absolutely, anyone in this country running for public office, even someone as rich as Trump, and even a former elected official, could face the same exact fate as Trump if their illegal scheme were to be leaked to the Wall Street Journal, like it did to Trump Jan. 12, 2018.

And you, too, might be asked by an Associated Press reporter if you were aware of leaked hush money payments, just like an AP reporter asked Trump on April 15, 2018.

“Did you know about the $130,000

payment to Stormy Daniels?,” the reporter asked Trump. “No,” he said.

You, too, would be made out to be a liar when, in court, phone recordings between you and and your fixer attorney, years before the scandal erupted, discussed making the payments to the porn actor.

If all those red flags about a crime go off on the dashboard of prosecutors, and they find a pile of corroborating evidence of a real crime having been committed, you, too, could be the subject of a grand jury investigation.

Prosecutors can’t even press charges against a suspect unless they can prove they have a substantial chance of winning a conviction against a suspect. Otherwise, the grand jury returns a “no true bill,” making it clear there is a reasonable doubt a suspect committed a crime.

That didn’t happen in Trump’s case, and the same could happen to you, if the evidence of a crime is so compelling. That’s what happened to Trump on March 30, 2023. The NY Grand Jury indicted Trump, forcing him into court to face 34 counts of lying about redirecting money to keep damaging news and information from becoming public to save his 2016 presidential campaign.

If a prosecutor anywhere in the United States can persuade a grand jury of a crime you’ve committed, you, too, could be subject to indictment.

You, also, would likely be forced to get an attorney to try to discredit the case against you and stifle it even before it gets rolling. That’s much harder to do with an indictment, as Trump discovered, because the prosecution has already provided a huge amount of evidence, so much so that a grand jury has seen a very likely conviction. Then, your lawyer, too, might have to spend days and days whittling away at fair-minded or skeptical jurors that might convict you, like they did Trump. As a defense attorney and defendant, all you need is one juror that believes there’s a remote possibility you didn’t do what a

mountain of evidence and witnesses said you did, like Trump.

You, too, could take some solace in knowing that in the United States, you don’t have to prove your innocence, not at all. Just like in the Trump trial, the total onus of the case is on the prosecution to prove you did commit the crimes you would be indicted for —beyond a reasonable doubt.

It happens to famous, infamous and obscure people all time, almost every court day. “If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit.”

Trump’s conviction fit like a glove, 34 times.

It wasn’t a witch hunt. It wasn’t the underhanded scheme of political enemies, none of whom have any control over New York state courts, grand juries, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, or any of the dozens of witnesses and the mountain of damning evidence against Trump.

You and even the families of presidents and former presidents must fret if you have a cocaine addiction and falsify paperwork to get a handgun, lying about not being a drug user, like Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden.

Last Thursday proved that, despite sustained attempts by Trump and his allies, the United States really is still governed by the rule of law. The laws apply to everyone, even you. Even Trump.

And if you do the same things Trump does when it comes to hiding hush-money scandal payments, conspiring to undermine U.S. elections, inducing and supporting an insurrection or scheming to keep the government from finding a trove of top-secret, highly classified documents in your poo-poo, it could happen to you.

Trump’s right. It could happen to anyone.

Video of officer-involved shooting is progress in reform

Few US police departments have seen as catastrophic a loss of public confidence as has the Aurora Police Department over the past 10 years.

The list of wholly racist, incompetent episodes, or schemes to keep the malfeasance quiet, has dogged the department. And the blunders have impugned the hundreds of honest, talented and caring police officers on the force, unfairly sullied.

Aurora’s documented and even adjudicated calamities have, however, resulted in powerful and long-overdue changes in state law — and local policy.

Last week, Aurora police quietly released an obviously police-produced, video review of a May 4 fatal shooting by APD officers of a man suspected of shooting someone else, just minutes before a confrontation.

The video was a sober assessment of the shooting, narrated by interim Police Chief Heather Morris.

Morris reads from a script, briefly outlining what led to the shooting.

She refers to a chaotic series of events, depicted in the officer body-cam video.

She tells viewers that the video protocol is novel for Aurora, and that it’s an important step toward providing much-needed information about violent police encounters with the public.

“The goal is to increase our agency’s transparency and accountability,” police said in a statement, and Morris reiterated in the video. “These videos are intended to provide our community with a better understanding of what occurred based on the information we have at the time of their release.”

The sober assessment is a far departure from previous, often hastily called, press conferences where the chief or

JEFF ROBERTS, GUEST COLUMNIST

appointee would relay select facts about the incident.

On more than one occasion — tragically, officer-involved shootings are not a rarity in Aurora — police officials have awkwardly, or falsely, misled the public by leaving critical information out or offering circumstantial details to TV cameras and reporters to make their case about the shooting, rather than just make a statement about the facts.

A recent example of the danger there was made by former interim Chief Art Acevedo. A year ago, an Aurora police officer shot and killed 14-year-old Jor’Dell Richardson as the boy ran from the officer after the boy apparently robbed a convenience store. Acevedo held a press conference shortly after.

There, he said the boy had a handgun and may have reached for it as he was wrestled to the ground and arrested.

Days later, the chief backtracked, saying the weapon was actually a pellet gun, not a firearm.

The issue wasn’t that an officer in a chaotic moment of arrest should be able to tell the difference, the problem was Acevedo waited several days before making the distinction public, casting doubt on the credibility of an already oft-doubted police department.

Last week’s thoughtful video review and brief assessment of the May 4 shooting is a promising departure from past policies and egregious mistakes.

The short video provides viewers with two police bodycam videos showing officers rolling up on a northwest Aurora neighborhood at about 7:45 p.m.

The film begins with a cut from a 911 tape. The shooting victim can be heard yelling out as he is shot in the leg, telling dispatchers breathlessly that he was hiding from the shooter.

Multiple police rush to the complex of row-style apart-

ments.

While officers were talking with the shooting victim, several neighbors began running and yelling that the suspect had returned to the scene.

Two officers round the corner of a long row of front doors, and the video shows what appears to be a man at a front door of one of the homes farthest from the officers.

Police yell, telling the suspect to show his hands. The suspect appears to turn to run from the officers, and several gunshots can be heard, and the suspect drops to the ground.

The video raises many questions. And it is by no means an investigative assessment justifying or criticizing how police conducted themselves and whether the fatal shooting was warranted.

But the review offers a clear and credible assessment of what led to the shooting and how it occurred. The video and APD’s motivation to provide details on tragedies like this are commendable.

We, and much of the public, are anxious to see a similar video explain how an orchestrated May 23 SWAT unit arrest with Denver resulted in the fatal shooting of Kilyn Lewis. These videos would even more powerfully establish Aurora police credibility if an independent entity — outside of the police department, but empowered by the city — were to review these productions. An independent should be able to authenticate to the public that they are, for the most part, accurate assessments.

For now, the public should laud the police effort and encourage further ways to make controversial police events transparent.

APD still encrypting scanners, rejecting compromise

The death at age 89 of longtime police reporter Marilyn Robinson brought to mind an enduring image for those of us who were colleagues of hers at The Denver Post — an image perfectly described in an obituary written earlier this month by another former colleague, Bruce Finley.

“She worked mostly in the newsroom beneath towering stacks of old newspapers and her notes, making countless calls to dispatchers, desk sergeants and frontline officers from the old landline telephones, sometimes with a phone on each ear, sustaining herself on coffee, Pepsi, popcorn and yogurt,” Finley recalled. “Robinson simultaneously monitored chatter from police radio scanners.”

The radio scanners were vital tools of Robinson’s trade, tipping her off to police activities throughout the Denver metro area — information she corroborated by making those countless calls to her many, many sources.

But they wouldn’t be so useful if Robinson were still reporting today.

As I’ve previously written, the Denver Police Department fully encrypted its radio communications in 2019 and the Aurora Police Department went silent three years earlier, moves they said were necessary to protect officer safety and tactical decisions and to prevent the public release of people’s personal information.

Recently the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition learned that the Aurora PD, when Art Acevedo was interim chief, considered reinstating a public feed of radio transmissions — with a 10-minute delay — through the Broadcastify mobile app. The

delay would have alleviated “a lot, but not all, of our internal concerns about officer safety, tactical decisions, etc.,” Joe Moylan, the department’s public information officer, told CFOIC in an emailed response to our questions.

But Broadcastify doesn’t provide a way to protect witness and victim information that might be transmitted over the radio to the public, he added. Ultimately scuttling the project was the 2023 enactment of legislation that requires the deletion of all names and identifying information of juvenile victims and witnesses from police and court records.

“We have a moral and ethical obligation to protect victim and witness privacy,” Moylan wrote. “We take that very seriously and even while we were considering the Broadcastify option, there were significant concerns among leadership about how we would continue to protect victims and witnesses.”

075 during a February 2023 Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.)

Since 2021, a state law has required each Colorado law enforcement agency that encrypts all of its radio transmissions to create a “communications access policy” for letting local news media outlets listen to primary dispatch channels “through commercially available radio receivers, scanners, or other feasible technology.”

Aurora PD has such a policy but “none of our local media organizations have taken advantage of this offer,” Moylan confirmed. In a 2022 article, CFOIC reported on the reason why: The policy requires news outlets to sign an agreement indemnifying Aurora PD and the city of Aurora “from and against all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses, direct, indirect or consequential arising out of or resulting from” the agreement.

to 59 departments for records about their compliance with the 2021 state law requiring access policies for news media. Only six, including Aurora and Denver, responded with records. Each agreement provided to the law student includes an indemnification clause that many journalists have been reluctant to sign because of the potential financial risks.

A few law enforcement agencies, such as the Colorado Springs Police Department, have reached agreements with local newsrooms to provide radio access, and some still have public dispatch feeds. For example, the public can listen to Boulder Police Department communications on Broadcastify.

“Those concerns were further heightened when Senate Bill 23-075 was introduced and ultimately passed, which now legally requires us to not only protect the privacy rights of juvenile criminal offenders, but also juvenile witnesses to crimes. Those new legal requirements apply to all public records, including dispatch radio traffic, and there’s no way for us to redact that information in real time.”

(Note: Both Acevedo and Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman testified in favor of SB 23-

Denver PD’s proposed agreement includes an additional sticking point for news organizations, a clause giving the city auditor or any agent of the city “the right to access and the right to examine any directly pertinent books, documents, papers and records of” the news organization.

The Aurora and Denver departments are two of many agencies around the state that have encrypted their dispatch communications. For a forthcoming paper commissioned by the Colorado Broadcasters Association, a University of Denver Sturm College of Law student submitted requests

Moylan told CFOIC that Aurora PD rejected a proposal from news organizations to have officers switch to an encrypted channel before airing sensitive information. “This is an unreasonable expectation and places an unnecessary burden on our officers, particularly when they are responding to and/or in the early stages of investigating a ‘hot’ call or violent crime,” he wrote. Aurora PD knows that “the vast majority” of journalists vet information they hear on scanners before reporting it, Moylan added. “However, Broadcastify would be open to everyone. There is no mechanism that exists that would allow us to uphold our moral, and now legal, obligation to protect victim, witness and juvenile privacy rights while also providing the media and the public with the access to radio traffic they desire.”

Aurora voters deciding the ‘blues’

Voters choosing Democrats in two legislative and one county primary race for fall ballot

BY MAX LEVY, KRISTIN OH Staff Writers

While much of the media attention on the 2024 Colorado Primary Election has focused on crowded congressional primary races, three of Aurora’s down-ballot contests will be decided by June 25 voters.

All three primary contests are among Democrats.

In Aurora, voters will decide November candidates for Senate District 28, House District 36 both mostly covering central Aurora, and Arapahoe County Commission District 5.

Read on for select answers to campaign questions for each candidate. Go to SentinelColorado.com and click on 2024 Voter Guide for more details from candidates about local issues in each race.

HOUSE DISTRICT 36

Two Aurora Democrats are vying to win the Democratic nomination for House District 36.

Michael Carter, an attorney who currently sits on the board for Aurora Public Schools, is running against APS history teacher Bryan Lindstrom.

Carter was elected to the board in 2021 and his term ends in 2025.

According to his campaign website, Carter served in the U.S. Army. After, he attended the University of New Mexico and graduated with degrees in African American studies and political science. After graduating from the University of Denver with a law degree, he worked as a public defense attorney and private criminal defense attorney. Carter also served on the Judicial Performance Commission in Arapahoe County.

Carter is married with three children.

Lindstrom was born and raised in Aurora, according to his campaign website. He graduated from Hinkley High School and attended the University of Northern Colorado. After graduating, he worked as an educator, spending the last eight years at Hinkley High School. He also served on the board of directors for the Aurora Education Association.

There is no Republican candidate for the district race registered as of June 4.

A: Building rapport with marginalized communities requires understanding their diverse experiences. Aurora is Colorado’s most racially diverse major city, home to an immigrant and migrant population, and too many of our families are experiencing poverty. My background as a public defender, lawyer, and Army veteran has grounded me in these communities’ struggles. Whether addressing issues like navigating the judicial system, the unnecessary constraints that prevent our neighbors from being lifted out of poverty, or the challenges of re-entering the workforce after military service, I will engage directly with residents, advocate for policies that work, and ensure my team reflects our community’s diversity.

A: First of all, the series of bills passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Polis need to be executed in a manner that delivers on their promise. We need legislators active in seeing things through; for instance one of the bills provides local communities first option to purchase multi-family homes and buildings to continue their service as affordable housing to their communities. I’ll work with our city legislators in Aurora to make sure they have the state-level support to ensure these bills meet their potential.

Individuals getting a ticket in the mail without any context or clear path forward on how to advocate for themselves is not a solution and further alienates citizens from law enforcement.

I also have invested myself in becoming fluent in Spanish both to communicate with my family that only speaks Spanish and to be able to go door-to-door and meet the needs of our community.

AANHPI community plans new ‘Social Fabric’ center with $500,000 federal grant

As Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month came to a close, Colorado’s AANHPI community is one step closer to having a central location to celebrate their heritage.

During a press conference May 30, Colorado Asian Culture and Education Network announced their latest steps for a new community center. It will serve as a hub for resources, social services and programming for AANHPI immigrant and refugee communities.

The community center, called Social Fabric, will be located at 67 Inverness Drive in Englewood, near Centennial Airport, and is set to open in the first half of 2025, CACEN Director Annie Guo VanDan said during the presentation.

VanDan also said that the community center will:

• Include office spaces for non-profit organizations and businesses

• Serve as a gathering place for

community members

• Be used as event spaces for competitions and holidays

• Include health and wellness providers and services

• Have a library of bookstore highlighting AANHPI authors

• And also be family friendly

VanDan said the need for this space started to rise in 2020, when anti-Asian hate crimes increased during the pandemic. She also explained that there was also a general need for Asian Americans to feel more visible and share their culture with their friends and community members,

“I know many of you, my friends in the community, have been a part of this vision for so long,” VanDan said while getting emotional. “It’s just very exciting.”

Also during the press conference, Colorado Rep. Jason Crow gave CACEN $500,000 in congressional appropriation funds, which will go to support the community center.

“I am very proud to represent this community for a lot of reasons but one of things I’m most proud of is the diversity of this community, “Crow said. “I’m hon-

ored with this $500,000 to help open Denver’s first Asian American Social Fabric Community Center, which I think is going to be a model, not only for Colorado, but potentially the rest of the country.”

Aurora blaze Sunday seriously damages 1 home, mostly spares neighbor

Aurora Fire and Rescue officials said one south Aurora home sustained heavy damage from a fire June 2, but firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading into a neighboring house.

Rescuers were called to the 17600 block of East Bethany Place at about 4 p.m.

tempted-homicide case.

“The SWAT Team was called to assist when the suspect was located driving a red sedan in Aurora,” Longshore said. “The suspect arrived at the apartment complex just before noon.”

Aurora SWAT officers approached Lewis as he exited his car and attempted to arrest him.

“During the interaction, an Aurora SWAT officer fired his weapon, striking the suspect,” Longshore said.

Officers provided medical treatment until rescuers arrived. Lewis was taken to a nearby hospital and died from his injuries two days later.

Police identified the officer who shot Lewis as Officer Michael Dieck, a 12-year veteran of the police department. Longshore said Dieck has been assigned to the SWAT unit for over eight years.

Dieck was placed on administrative leave, which is standard police department policy.

Police have begun a shooting investigation, as well as an internal affairs investigation. The 18th Judicial District will be part of a Critical Incident Response Team, providing an independent investigation into the shooting.

“One home had significant fire damage to its exterior, with fire also in the attic,” Aurora Fire and Rescue spokesperson Shannon Hardi said in a statement. “The siding of the neighboring home also caught fire due to the intense radiant heat.”

Firefighters began extinguishing the fire at both homes and ensured no people or pets were inside.

“The fire is out, and no injuries have been reported,” Hardi said.

“One family will be displaced due to fire damage,” officials said. The neighboring home is still habitable.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Killed suspect and Aurora officer who fired fatal shot during May 23 arrest identified

Police and county officials have identified a man shot and killed by an Aurora police officer May 23 during a SWAT unit call and attempted arrest, and they’ve identified the officer involved in the shooting.

Coroner officials said the man was Kilyn Lewis, 37, of Denver.

Officials said he died May 25 from injuries sustained from a shooting, two days after his attempted arrest in Aurora.

Friends and family of Lewis posted laments on social media, and a GoFundMe account has been started in his name.

The shooting occurred just before noon at Edenbrook condominiums at 384 S. Ironton Street in west-central Aurora.

Police said Denver and Aurora police SWAT units went to the complex earlier in the morning and set up to arrest Lewis in connection with a May 5 Denver at-

Police on Thursday released a produced video addressing a May 5 Aurora officer-involved shooting. In the video, interim Police Chief Heather Morris offers some detail about the shooting, but states that the video was a new protocol for APD, and an effort to provide “transparency and accountability.”

It’s unclear whether police will release a similar video focusing on the May 23 officer-involved shooting.

Aurora police release video, offering graphic details of May 4 officer involved shooting

Aurora police on Thursday released a graphic, police-produced video review of a May 4 fatal shooting by officers of a man suspected of shooting another person, and then returning to the scene in a fast and chaotic episode.

Introducing the video, interim Police Chief Heather Morris reads from a script, explaining that this is the beginning of a new process for providing the public information about officer-involved shootings.

The story with video is at https://buff.ly/3KrmeHL She said the video, and some analysis of the shooting is an effort to inform the public even as the incidents are under investigation. Police said the video was redacted in parts to shield the identity of witnesses, as well as to blur out close-up view of injuries, but the video was not cut or changed.

“The goal is to increase our agency’s transparency and ac-

METRO

countability,” police said in a statement. “These videos are intended to provide our community with a better understanding of what occurred based on the information we have at the time of their release.”

The film provides viewers with two police body-cam videos showing officers rolling up on a northwest Aurora neighborhood at about 7:45 p.m. May 4.

The film begins with a cut from a 911 tape. The shooting suspect can be heard yelling out as he is shot in the leg, telling dispatchers breathlessly that he was hiding from the shooter.

The video begins with an officer arriving on the scene, and he is immediately confronted by a man who was shot in the leg. The man said the shooting suspect, later identified as Jose Rodriguez-Balderrama, 28, had fled in a red Mustang.

Multiple police rushed to the complex of row-style apartments on the 1400 block of Clinton Street.

En route, police saw a red Mustang in the area and engaged in a brief chase, then losing sight of the car, police reported earlier in May.

While officers were talking with the shooting victim, several neighbors began running and yelling that the suspect had returned to the scene.

Two officers round the corner of a long row of front doors, and the video shows what appears to be a man at a front door of one of the homes farthest from the officers.

Police yell, telling the suspect to show his hands.

It’s unclear in the video what Rodriguez-Balderrama does, but he appears to turn to run from the officers, and several gunshots can be heard, and the suspect drops to the ground.

Rodriguez-Balderrama can be heard groaning as the two officers run to him and begin medical treatment.

In the video, police offer viewers a photo of the gun, modified with a large magazine and able to fire automatically, like a machine gun, police said.

Morris speaks to the camera stoically, saying that APD wants to be forthcoming about the shooting, and that same time, lauding the work, generally that police do under stressful, chaotic conditions.

“I recognize that interactions with officers have lasting impacts on community members,” Morris says in the video, and also in a statement released at the same time. “I also recognize being a police officer is a tough job. Officers must make split-second decisions, in chaotic and dynamic situations often with limited information. We are committed to being a learning organization, focused on training and providing officers with wellness resources to ensure they are equipped to make the best possible decisions even while under duress. I support the men and women of the

Aurora Police Department who are willing to risk so much to keep our community safe. I also hold them to very high standards because it’s what the community expects and deserves.”

Police arrest 2 Aurora robbery suspects after car chase, attempted carjacking

Police say they’re looking for potential car-jacking victims after robbery suspects led officers on a chase from a south-Aurora grocery store to northeast Aurora May 31.

Police were responding to an armed robbery reported at the Walmart at 5650 S. Chambers Road May 31. The time of the robbery was not disclosed.

When officers arrived at the Walmart, they began pursuing suspects fleeing in a car.

The suspects at some point crashed their car into another vehicle. Police said there were no injuries associated with the crash.

“Immediately following the crash, the suspects attempted to carjack another vehicle,” police said. “This vehicle was a red sedan.”

Apparently, the fleeing robbery suspects were unable to commandeer the red sedan and began to run, somewhere near East 40th Avenue and Tower Road, police reported.

“A short foot pursuit began and officers were able to locate the suspects and get them into custody,” police said. “A weapon was successfully recovered.”

Police did not identify the suspects, but they did say they would like to talk to the attempted car-jacking victims as part of the investigation.

“If you were a victim in the attempted carjacking, please reach out to APD,” police said in a social media post.

Shooting suspect

who ‘fell out of’ car evading Aurora police identified, along with victim

Police said the shooting suspect who “fell out of a moving vehicle” he was driving while trying to evade officers last week was Gilbert Vermillion.

Vermillion, whose age was not reported, is being held in the Arapahoe County jail in lieu of a $1,001,000 bond and faces charges of first-degree murder in the death of Aaron Paul Dafner, 45, of Aurora.

The shooting case began at about 10:45 p.m. May 24 when police were called to the 3600 block of Zeno Way after reports of gunfire.

“When officers arrived, an adult male was seen fleeing in a vehicle,” police said in a social media post.

Additional officers arriving on

scene pursued the suspect as he drove away.

“When the suspect made a turn, (he) fell out of the moving vehicle,” police said. The car then crashed nearby.

“We believe he fell out of the vehicle, while it was making a turn, due to a faulty car door” Aurora police spokesperson Sydney Edwards said in a statement.

Vermillion was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Dafner was was treated at the scene of the shooting. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his shooting injuries.

Right: Regis Jesuit coach Matt Darr, right, congratulates Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson after the Raiders fell to the Bruins 5-2 in the Class 5A baseball state championship game on June 1 at All-Star Park in Lakewood.

Matt Darr knows that soon he will be sitting on a porch with Marc Johnson talking about their mutual love for the game of baseball.

The Regis Jesuit baseball coach had hoped to have the bragging rights with his good friend — a Colorado coaching legend who was in his 52nd and final season on the diamond — but that won’t be the case as Johnson’s Bruins defeated Darr’s Raiders twice to win the Class 5A state baseball championship June 1 at All-Star Park.

The Bruins still had life, however, in the double-elimination tournament and held off 16th-seeded Grandview 11-9 May 31 to earn a chance to play on the final day as they aimed to win the program’s first state title since 2012 and ninth all-time, which ranks first in Colorado history among large schools.

Cherry Creek cruised to a mercy rule-shortened 11-1 victory in the opener — as it dealt the first loss to Regis Jesuit senior right-hander Liam Mosley, who came into the game with an 8-0 record — but the rematch had the intensity and emotion ratcheted all the way up.

Bittersweet end BASEBALL

Regis Jesuit couldn’t get its offense going over two games against Cherry Creek’s talented pitching staff and lost 5-2 in the finale after it dropped an 11-1 contest earlier in the day. When it was over, Darr embraced Johnson with a mix of sad and happy tears in his eyes.

“I was happy for him; if we weren’t going to win, I wanted it to be him,” Darr said. “I know I’ll see him next week on his porch, sitting in rocking chairs talking about coaching like we usually do. It’s hard, because you’re torn between your kids, because you know how hard they worked, and you’re happy for him.

“It’s a really hard juxtaposition of emotions. I’m happy for him, but heartbroken for my kids.”

The last time Regis Jesuit won the 5A state title was in 2019 and it was against the same opponent — as was also the case in 2011 when the Raiders also won — but this time ended differently.

Regis Jesuit (which finished the season 22-8) took seeming command of the Championship Series with a 3-0 opening weekend that included a 3-0 victory over Cherry Creek May 25, which meant the Raiders needed only one win to claim their first state title since 2019.

Sophomore right-hander Hudson Alpert started for Regis Jesuit and kept the potent top of the Bruins lineup (which had gone 7-for-8 with eight runs scored in the first game) at bay in the opening four innings. Meanwhile, the Raiders created some chances, but were also kept off the scoreboard in the same span by Cherry Creek junior Ryan Falke, who they faced for the first time in the four meetings of the teams.

Both teams made key early defensive plays as Regis Jesuit junior Christian Lopez was thrown out at home plate in the bottom of the first inning, while Raiders senior third baseman Trevor Nordstrom fielded a bunt and flipped to senior catcher Grant Wiebe for a tagout at home in the top of the second.

“I kept thinking if we could take the lead early, we’d have them, but we never got that big hit that put the pressure on them,” Darr said. “We just never could get there. ...Really we haven’t been very good on offense for the last two weeks with only 12 runs in five games. You can only hang on for long with that and your pitching can only be so good. I just think it kind of caught up to us.”

All tournament long, Cherry Creek capitalized on virtually any mistake made by its opponents, and it got a break in the fifth when Luke Rose grounded to shortstop, but beat the throw to first. Just one pitch later, leadoff hitter Brayden Yasu-

zawa brought him home with an RBI double, and he also scored on Connor Larkin’s double before Alpert struck out Eddie Esquivel to end the frame.

Junior Jace Filleman got a run back for the bottom of the fifth with a solo home run for Regis Jesuit, but the Bruins tacked on another run with two hits and then scored twice more in the top of the seventh (off junior Luke Reasbeck, who threw a complete game, two-hitter against them the previous week) for some insurance.

Junior Nick Wiley doubled and scored on a base hit by senior Andrew Bell for Regis Jesuit to cut the lead to three and senior Brody Chyr singled to put two on and bring the tying run to the plate in Nordstrom, who has a batting average near .500 for the season. Nordstrom had been hitting the ball hard in the second game but swung through the third strike to end the game.

It brought to an end a day in which the Raiders scored just three runs over a total of 12 innings, despite generating 14 hits, including nine in the finale. They stranded at least one baserunner in six of seven innings.

“It was not a good hitting day for us,” Alpert said. “Their defense will usually dwindle down if you keep putting the ball in play. We just didn’t do our job and helped them out. They kept themselves in the game.”

Cherry Creek’s raucous postgame celebration fittingly centered around the story ending for Johnson, who some of the Regis Jesuit players knew from playing for his team in the summer.

“He’s obviously a legend and he’s a great dude, so I just loved my time playing for him,” Chyr said. “Not enough good things to say about him.”

Darr collected the state runner-up trophy, and it sat on the edge of the dugout as Regis Jesuit players and coaches hugged each other and slowly departed, where they were greeted with applause from friends and family.

Regis Jesuit will graduate a variety of key seniors, including Bell (a Duke University recruit), Chyr (who has signed with Loyola Marymount), Mosley (who finished the season 8-1), Nordstrom (the team’s leader in batting average at .476) and others.

“These seniors did everything we asked of them, but baseball is a cruel game” Darr said.

“This sparked us a little bit. …We’ll be a young team next year that will be looking for leaders because we lose a lot of good senior leaders.

This was one of the best senior classes Regis Jesuit has had.”

GRANDVIEW RALLY FALLS SHORT IN 5A SEMIFINAL LOSS TO CHERRY CREEK

The Grandview baseball team nearly played spoiler in Marc Johnson’s storybook exit, as the Wolves threatened to overcome Cherry Creek in the final inning of a Class 5A Championship Series semifinal May 31.

“THIS ONE HURTS, SO I’D WATCH OUT FOR NEXT YEAR... THIS ONE SPARKED US A LITTLE BIT.”

-HUDSON ALPERT, REGIS JESUIT SOPHOMORE, ON 5A FINAL LOSS

Those expected to return — including a variety of arms, led by Alpert (5-3, 2.43 ERA) and Reasbeck (4-1, 3.12 ERA) — plus championship game starters in seniors-to-be Lopez, Filleman and Gavin Cronin plus junior-tobe Chase Massey will be hungry.

“This one hurts, so I’d watch out for next year,” Alpert said.

Coach Scott Henry’s 16th-seeded Grandview team fell behind the Centennial League rival Bruins by as many as eight runs, but scored six times in the seventh inning and had the tying run on base before the final out was recorded in an 11-9 loss at All-Star Park.

Despite the late charge, the Wolves fell short in the quest to get the program into the state championship game for the first time.

“The guys just didn’t want to

make that last out and kept competing, competing, competing,” Henry said. “I’m super proud of that.”

Down 11-3, Grandview’s final rally was sparked by junior Kyler Vaughn, who had missed most of the season due to injury. Vaughn came on as a pinch hitter after a single by senior Collin May and cranked a home run to left field.

Senior Tony Crow — who joined May with three hits on the day — followed with a single, senior Easton Flores drew a walk and junior Chase Chapman greeted a Cherry Creek reliever with a base hit to load the bases. Senior Brock Johnston drew a walk to force in a run to make it 11-7, which was followed by a walk to senior Tucker Smock and May’s two-run single.

to battle all the way to the end.”

Added Johnston: “We went down by eight, and we almost came back. Even the guys who were in the dugout, nobody was ready to give up. We were going to fight until that last pitch.”

Resolve typified the season for Grandview which had a 4-6 record at one point early in the season but then put together a 9-1 stretch and rode it all the way to the postseason. Grandview won the Region 1, which included a 14-inning marathon against Ralston Valley to get the program back into the Championship Series for the first time since 2019.

With Vaughn at the plate again as the potential go-ahead run and with the lineup turned over, Smock got caught off second base by an alert Cherry Creek defense, and he was tagged for the final out.

It was disappointing end, but fittingly competitive.

“I really thought we had a chance there at the end,” Crow said. “I think the biggest thing about this group is they’re going

Once there, the Wolves finished 3-2 — with both losses coming to Cherry Creek, which was responsible for four of their 11 defeats on the season — in the Championship Series with two wins over Prairie View and another against Fort Collins. It was the first time Grandview made the Final Four since 2015.

“I’ve never been more grateful to play with a group of people,” said Crow, a three-year starter.

“It’s been so much fun, and I can’t even explain how much this group has grown. From halfway through

the season when we were sitting around .500 with our record and everyone in the clubhouse just wanted to work and get here. We did.”

Henry believes the losses of seniors such as Crow and May in key positions in the middle of the field will be tough to replace, as will speedy Smock in center, Flores (a walk machine who made pitchers uncomfortable), Johnston (who was outstanding in the Championship Series) and senior pitcher Ben Crandall (whose relief contributions were vital).

But the performance of starting pitchers Jax Pfister (4-2), lefthander Nick Martensen (who pitched complete games in both of his Championship Series starts and finished 4-3) and Justin Dean (6-2) — all of whom were juniors — is definitely encouraging. Chapman, rising sophomore AJ Maroni (the team’s leading hitter with a .368 batting average), a healthy Vaughn and most importantly getting the chance to play in high-level postseason contests will help despite the losses.

“I’m going to miss those guys. They’ve been my brothers for so long, and it was a lot of fun to play with them,” Pfister said. “We have good playoff experience now, so we’re going to get them next year.”

Three different Aurora programs appear on the 2024 AuroraSentinelAll-Aurora Girls Golf Team, which includes duos from Grandview and Regis Jesuit, in addition to Vista PEAK Prep sophomore Sophia Capua.

The Wolves’ duo of senior Caroline Ryan and sophomore Jean Lim and the Raiders’ tandem of junior Audrey Whitmore and sophomore Natalie Furguason earned spots along with Capua based primarily on performance at state tournaments.

She won the league meet at Saddle Rock G.C. by two strokes and also tied for first in the tournament at Aurora Hills G.C., while she was second at both Murphy Creek G.C. and Foothills G.C.

Greens team

Whitmore was the only one of the group to earn a medal as one of the state’s top-10 finishers, which she secured with her best performance in three trips to the state tournament. She was 45th in 2022 as a freshman, surged to 18th as a sophomore and then cracked the top 10 with a two-day score of 152 (courtesy of rounds of 75 and 77) as the leader for coach Charlie Rutenbeck’s Regis Jesuit team.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

Whitmore’s improvement in results coincided with her increased dedication to the sport. She came into her junior season with lofty goals and played well along the way, with four rounds in the 70s during the regular season, including a low score of plus-1 73 in a third-place finish at the Heather Cho Memorial tournament April 11. She shot 78 or lower in her last five rounds and finished in the top nine of those four tournaments.

Ryan was the city’s most seasoned player in terms of state experience as she qualified in each of her four varsity seasons. Though Ryan shaved two strokes off her state total as compared to last season, it resulted in a lower final finish in a loaded tournament, as she was 20th after coming in tied for 17th in 2023.

During the regular season, Ryan — who signed with the University of Wyoming, where her older sister, Morgan, played —was one of the Centennial League’s top players, as she finished in the top four individually in every tournament.

Coach Kurtis Bailey’s Grandview team ended up without a team score when its third qualifier withdrew after the first round, but Lim — a firsttime state qualifier — played some of her best golf of the season with rounds of 92 and 91 for a twoday total of 183. That was the third-lowest score among city players and earned her 52nd place. Lim’s best round of the season was an 87 that came April 29 at the Bruin Invitational at Overland Park G.C., which led to her highest finish on the leaderboard with a tie for 10th place.

Regis Jesuit had four state qualifiers and two of them were new, including Furgason, whose sister, Paige, also was a state qualifier. Natalie Furgason finished with the fourth-lowest score among Aurora players in the 5A state tournament with a two-day total of 188 (on rounds of 97 and 91) that gave her a 57thplace finish. Her best score came with an 88 at the Heather Cho Memorial and she hovered around the top 20 of just about every tournament she played during the season.

Capua won a medal last season in her debut varsity season, as the Vista PEAK Prep standout — one of just two regular players for the program all season — tied for ninth. With hopes to match or improve on that result, Capua had another outstanding regular season playing in tournaments in the City League, as she was champion of the league meet played at Wellshire G.C. April 3 and finished second twice.

At the 4A Region 4 tournament at Foothills G.C., Capua shot even-par 72 (her best round of the season) to finish third behind only Erie’s Logan Hale and Hadley Ashton, who went to finish first and third at the state tournament and help the Tigers to a team win.

HONORABLE MENTION: The All-Aurora honorable mention list includes senior Maddie Dossey, who became Gateway’s first state qualifier since 2012 when she made the 3A tournamet along with Aurora’s other state qualifiers from Cherokee Trail, Regis Jesuit and Grandview.

Regis Jesuit fills up lineup on All-Aurora Girls Tennis Team for 2024

It was a lineup that got Regis Jesuit into the Class 5A girls tennis state team tournament and went fully intact into the 5A individual tournament as well. It was also a lineup that earned spots across the board in three singles positions and four doubles slots on the 2024 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Girls Tennis Team, which is based on season and state performance.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

Coach Jenn Armstrong’s Regis Jesuit team was heavy on state experience, especially in the double ranks, where six of the eight players on the four teams had been to at least one individual state tournament. Additionally, two of the three singles players — senior No. 2 Mary Clare Watts and sophomore No. 3 Otylia Martino — also had been to state before.

Watts was a four-time state qualifier (and fourtime member of the All-Aurora team) and did so in three different positions, as she went as a singles player this season after consecutive years at No. 1 doubles (including a championship match apparance last season) and a freshman season at No. 3 doubles. She lost her lone state tournament match and did not get a playback.

Rounding out singles, Martino came within a set of earning a top-four place at No. 3 singles before her opponent from Continental League rival Rock Canyon rallied to win in three sets to end her run. Martino had 18 total wins for the season, while five of her eight losses came to the two players who met for the state title at No. 3 singles.

Junior No. 1 singles player Rebecca Gelfer earned a trip to state for the first time and lost her only match, but finished with 15 wins. Several of her eight losses came to players who finished in the top four at the 5A state tournament and another came to the 4A state champion.

The No. 1 doubles tandem of seniors Lucy Filippini and Brenna Radebaugh was particularly experienced for Regis Jesuit, as Filippini earned her fourth state appearance and Radebaugh her third. Filippini returned to state at No. 1 doubles (where she was in 2022 along with then-partner Watts) and also made it previously in two other positions, while Radebaugh spent the past two seasons as part of the No. 2 doubles team. As a tandem, they won 20 matches for the season, which included a 2-2 showing at state. They lost to eventual state champion Ralston Valley in the quarterfinals, then won a consolation match before losing in the consolation semis.

Juniors Cait Carolan and Ebba Svard had both been to state in their previous two seasons and they kept the streak intact as they played together at No. 2 doubles. Svard spent her third straight season in the same position, while it was a good-sized jump for Carolan after two years in the No. 4 doubles position. Their state tournament experience together lasted

two matches, as they won their opener and then fell in the second.

The No. 3 team teamed junior Lily Beebe (a 2023 qualifier at No. 4 doubles) with senior Torri Loftus, who had not been to state previously. The Raiders knocked off another Aurora area qualifier in the Grandview team of Quincy Muntean and Maddie Mayer in the first round before losing in the second round to a Valor Christian team that subsequently was eliminated. Beebe and Loftus finished with 19 victories, which was second most in the state at their position behind undefeated Sofia Elola and Mataya

The No. 4 doubles team paired a senior in Elise Holt with a sophomore in Helen Adams and it was a beneficial combination. The duo earned the only point for the Raiders in a 5A state team quarterfinal loss against Ralson Valley with a three-set victory (over a team that had beaten them 6-1, 6-1 earlier in the season), though the Mustangs would return the favor in a consolation semifinal at the individual state tournament that kept Holt and Adams out of the placing round. They finished with a total of 19 wins playing together.

CHSCA All-State Games

Thirteen recently-graduated senior athletes from Aurora high schools in five different sports are set to compete in the Colorado High School Coaches Association (CHSCA) All-State Games June 11-14 at Colorado State Pueblo.

More than half of the local contingent will be on display on the wrestling mats in competition on June 14, as five Aurora-area boys wrestlers (Eaglecrest’s Adonias Cantu and Ethan Diaz, Cherokee

Trail’s Jay Everhart and Kyle Stevens and Smoky Hill’s Zach Brophy) and three girls wrestlers (Eaglecrest’s Gianna Falise and Chasey Karabell and Smoky Hill’s Maddie Patterson) will take part. Also onhand will be Eaglecrest girls wrestling coach Horacio Vialpando.

All of the Aurora wrestlers that were selected competed in the state tournament at Ball Arena in February and Falise (a Grandview student who wrestled with the Eaglecrest co-op team) won the 190-pound girls state championship. Cantu wrestled for the Class 5A boys 113-pound state title and is a twotime state finalist.

Basketball is first in the schedule of competition on June 11 and the set of two boys basketball semifinals will have an Aurora presence, as Rangeview guard Mareon Chapman is on the roster of the Blue Team. CHSCA

boys basketball semifinals take place at 6:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. at Massari Arena, while the championship game will be played June 12. Also on June 12 is the CHSCA All-State Softball Game, which will pit the Blue Team — which includes Grandview’s Kristin Gallego — against the Red Team, which includes Eaglecrest’s Jac Smith.

The June 13 girls soccer contest at the Art & Lorraine Gonzales Soccer/Lacrosse Complex has Cherokee Trail defender Peyton Waterman on the Blue Team roster, while Rangeview goalkeeper Jazlyn Yomona is part of the Red Team.

ARAPAHOE COUNTY COMMISSION

In the race to represent most of Aurora on Arapahoe County’s Board of County Commissioners, seasoned state legislator Rhonda Fields faces off against community activist and political consultant Hashim Coates for the Democratic nomination.

The winner of the primary contest will likely have their work cut out for them Nov. 5, as Aurora has for decades chosen Democrats to occupy the District 5 seat. Like Fields, current commissioner Bill Holen is prevented by term limits from mounting a re-election campaign.

Also vying for the seat in November will be Eliseo Gonzalez of the Libertarian Party, the only other candidate who has filed with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office to run in District 5.

Democrat

Rhonda Fields has represented Aurora in the Colorado General Assembly for more than a decade — as a state representative from 2010 to 2016 and a state senator since 2016. During her time in office, Fields has sponsored major public safety, education and health care legislation, including bills regulating access to firearms, strengthening safeguards against police misconduct, providing meals to low-income students and families, and funding mental health care for representatives of the criminal justice system. Previously, Fields worked for United Airlines and received her master’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado. She is the co-founder of the Fields Wolfe Memorial Fund and the Dayton Street Opportunity Center.

About Rhonda Fields

Q:ArapahoeCountyfacesabudget shortfallofmorethan$35millionin 2025,asfederalCOVID-19relieffunds dryupandresidents’expectations ofthecountycontinuetogrow.How shouldthecountyaddresstheshortfall?Ifthecountyhadtocutback,where wouldyoucutfirst?

A: Arapahoe County is facing a significant budget shortfall of over $35 million in 2025, largely due to the depletion of federal COVID-19 relief funds and given Arapahoe County is one of the fastest growing counties in Colorado. The current TABOR formula exacerbates this problem by imposing an artificial ceiling on public infrastructure and public programs, hindering Arapahoe County’s ability to meet our growing needs in areas like health care, fire and first-re-

sponder training, access to quality and affordable food, and child care assistance.

To address this challenge, I propose de-Brucing, a solution that has been successfully adopted by many other localities in Colorado where an increase in population has been similarly impactful. De-Brucing would require voter support and would alleviate the local revenue cap imposed by TABOR, allowing the county to make strategic investments aligned with residents’ priorities without levying huge tax increases. However, if budget cuts become necessary, I advocate for a careful and strategic approach. Rather than indiscriminate slashing of services, I suggest a surgical approach that involves obtaining input from relevant departments and consulting with colleagues to minimize the impact on the organization’s ability to fulfill its purposes, and an emphasis on keeping folks in their homes and our economy operational. The goal would be to identify opportunities for budget reduction without compromising essential services to residents.

Q:Isthereanythingmoreyou’dliketo seeArapahoeCountydotoregulateoil andgasoperationsnearAurora, especiallyaroundhomesandwater sources?

A: While Arapahoe County’s current efforts to regulate oil and gas operations are commendable, continued monitoring is essential. I am open to exploring stricter zoning ordinances and setback requirements, especially in residential areas and near water sources to minimize pollution risks. Additionally, robust monitoring and expanding enforcement capabilities of our existing regulations are crucial to ensure compliance, safety and transparency.

A: I believe in fostering strong partnerships between municipalities and the county to effectively address the needs of our communities. When faced with unfunded demands from cities like Aurora, it’s crucial to engage in open dialogue and collaboration to find solutions that benefit all parties involved. Oftentimes, these demands don’t just come out of nowhere, and when they seemingly do, it’s usually because our leaders weren’t talking to each other, much less seeking a pragmatic outcome for each of our constituencies.

While recognizing the importance of supporting essential services, we must also ensure fiscal responsibility and equitable distribution of resources. I will work closely with city officials to address concerns and explore alternative funding mechanisms to alleviate the financial burden on the county. Ultimately, my approach will be one of cooperation and transparency, prioritizing the well-being of our residents while maintaining respect for the tax dollars our residents entrust to Arapahoe County. In fact, that’s exactly why I sponsored House Bill 24-1437 during

the 2024 legislative session. This bill prevents municipalities from using fixed payment structures for indigent defense, ensuring fair distribution of costs. I believe all parties should be held to the same standards, protecting county resources while upholding justice.

Q:Towhatextentisitfairtocharacterizethisprimaryelectionasacontest betweentheprogressiveandmoderate wingsofthelocalDemocraticParty?

A: Governing is multifaceted. For me, the focus has always been on effective governance and pragmatic problem-solving for the common good, rather than adhering strictly to labels like “moderate” or “progressive.” My track record speaks to this approach — I’ve successfully expanded health care access, reduced property taxes, tackled housing affordability, implemented criminal justice and policing reforms, and protected women’s freedoms and Colorado’s environment. My guiding principle is common sense and being willing to spend the time it takes to more fully understand and seek common ground so that we can address the diverse needs of our community. In this primary election, I aim to continue my commitment to impactful and measurable solutions because I will be a leader for all of Arapahoe, not just those with a certain label.

Q:Whatisthemostimportantdifferencebetweenyouandyouropponentin theprimary?

A: The most important difference between my opponent and I is my life experience. I know Arapahoe County well, and I proudly call Aurora my home. After 30 years of military service, my mom and dad retired in Aurora. My children were raised and educated in Aurora’s public schools, and as a single parent, I took advantage of Aurora Parks and Recreation, where my kids learned how to swim, play and explore creative arts. Following the tragic murder of my son in 2005, I was compelled to run for office by the support of my community and friends. In 2010, I was elected to the House of Representatives, serving for six years, and then for eight years in the State Senate. Driven to service by my lived experience and inspired to continue by the many thousands who have trusted me to remove barriers through legislation is a unique level of community experience which positions me to effectively serve the people of Arapahoe County. I’m a steadfast problem-solver with a demonstrated record in delivering tangible results, and I’m ready to leverage my knowledge and experience from day one as county commissioner.

Q:ArapahoeCountyfacesabudget shortfallofmorethan$35millionin 2025,asfederalCOVID-19relieffunds dryupandresidents’expectations ofthecountycontinuetogrow.How shouldthecountyaddresstheshortfall?Ifthecountyhadtocutback,where wouldyoucutfirst?

A: To address the $35 million budget shortfall Arapahoe County faces in 2025, we must take a balanced approach that prioritizes both fiscal responsibility and progressive values. First, we should evaluate the aid provided to external agencies, such as cities and nonprofits, that receive grants and other funds from the county. Redirecting several million dollars from these grants could help bridge the budget gap. While this is a difficult decision, it’s essential for the county to ensure its own financial stability before extending support to others. This aligns with the sentiments of other County officials, who also see this as a primary area for potential cuts.

Next, we may need to reduce some services to address the shortfall. This could include areas like road maintenance. Although not ideal, it’s a more viable option than cutting personnel, which should be our last resort. Maintaining our workforce is crucial for providing essential services and effectively supporting the community.

Additionally, we need to explore revenue-generation options. Removing the revenue cap imposed by TABOR (de-Brucing) is a critical step. Introducing a modest sales tax dedicated to county services could also provide significant relief and help cover immediate budgetary needs.

Moreover, establishing a County Bank (public bank) is a forward-thinking, longterm solution. Such a bank would allow Arapahoe County to keep more revenue within the community, funding essential services and projects for decades. This initiative requires substantial planning and time but promises a sustainable financial future.

Combining these strategies ensures we address the shortfall pragmatically while laying the groundwork for longterm fiscal health.

Q: Is there anything more you’d like to see Arapahoe County do to regulate oil

and gas operations near Aurora, especially around homes and water sources?

A: At the bare minimum, Arapahoe County must conduct comprehensive environmental studies to ensure clean and accessible water sources for decades to come. We understand the pressing need to balance environmental protection with the demands of oil and gas but our priority should always be safeguarding our community and the environment.

While we advocate for cleaner forms of energy, we recognize the current role of oil and gas. However, it’s crucial to implement strict regulations to minimize the impact on our homes and water sources. This includes enforcing buffer zones, rigorous monitoring and implementing best practices to mitigate risks. Ultimately, our goal is to transition to cleaner energy sources. While we may not be there yet, we must push hard in that direction, gradually phasing out oil and gas operations in favor of sustainable alternatives. This progressive approach ensures we protect our environment and public health while paving the way for a cleaner, greener future.

Q:Aurora’sCityCouncilhasexplored waysofshiftingtheresponsibilityfor providingvariousservicesontothe county.Mostrecently,thecouncilhas proposedtohaltthemunicipalprosecutionofdomesticviolencecases, whichthecountymayhavetospend millionsofdollarsonanannualbasisto prosecuteinatimelyway.Howwould yourespondtoAuroraandothercities makingsimilarunfundeddemandsof thecounty?

A: Shifting the responsibility for various services onto the county without providing the necessary funding is a significant concern, especially when it involves critical issues like the prosecution of domestic violence cases. Here’s how I would respond to Aurora and other cities making similar unfunded demands of the county: Given how Aurora has treated their public defender’s office of late, how their city prosecutor’s office has violated defendant’s rights over and over, and just in general how their police department handles Aurora’s business, I would love Arapahoe County to take over prosecutions from Aurora where we can guarantee we will better serve the residents of Arapahoe County. Shifting the responsibility for various services onto the county without providing the necessary funding, however, is a significant concern, especially when it involves critical issues like the prosecution of domestic violence cases. I would welcome the shift, but it has to happen slowly and with proper funding. To achieve that shift, I would look for the following: Advocacy for fair funding — I would advocate strongly for fair funding to accompany any transfer of responsibilities. It is essential that Aurora and other cities work collaboratively with the county to ensure that the necessary financial resources are allocated to handle the increased workload effectively. This could involve negotiating intergovernmental agreements that include appropriate funding mechanisms. The county also has a number of enforcement mechanisms to make behaving in a less poor way in Aurora’s best interest. Those mechanisms have been poorly, or not at all, used in the past 50 or so years. The current electeds are generally in favor of using said seldom-used

power, and I would join with them. State-level advocacy — I would push for state-level involvement to address the issue of unfunded mandates. Engaging with state legislators to create policies that require cities to provide adequate funding when shifting responsibilities to the county is crucial. The state can play a role in ensuring that all jurisdictions have the resources needed to serve their residents effectively.

Transparent budgeting and accountability — I would insist on a transparent budgeting process that clearly outlines the costs associated with the additional responsibilities. This transparency would allow residents to understand the financial implications and hold both city and county governments accountable for ensuring services are adequately funded.

Collaboration and shared services — exploring collaborative approaches and shared services agreements can help mitigate the financial impact on the county. By working together, Aurora and the county can find efficiencies and cost-saving measures that benefit both parties while ensuring essential services are maintained. This collaborative approach should include regular communication and joint planning sessions.

Community Involvement and input — involve the community in discussions about shifting responsibilities and funding. Public input is vital to ensure that decisions reflect the priorities and needs of residents. Hosting town hall meetings, forming advisory committees and conducting surveys can help gather valuable feedback and build community support for fair funding solutions. Focus on domestic violence — given the severe nature of domestic violence, it is crucial to prioritize these cases. I would advocate for specialized funding and resources to ensure that domestic violence cases are prosecuted effectively and in a timely manner. This could involve seeking grants, creating dedicated domestic violence prosecution units and partnering with nonprofits and advocacy groups to support victims. Progressive revenue solutions — exploring progressive revenue solutions to address funding gaps is essential. This could include revisiting property tax assessments, implementing impact fees for new developments or exploring other progressive tax policies that ensure those with greater financial resources contribute fairly to the provision of essential services.

Building a stronger social safety net — ultimately, the goal should be to build a stronger social safety net that includes robust support for victims of domestic violence and other vulnerable populations. By investing in preventive measures, social services and community programs, we can reduce the demand on the criminal justice system and improve overall community well-being. Responding to unfunded demands from Aurora and other cities requires a multi-faceted approach that includes advocacy for fair funding, state-level policy changes, transparent budgeting and community involvement. By working collaboratively and exploring progressive revenue solutions, we can ensure that essential services, especially those as critical as domestic violence prosecution, are adequately funded and effectively delivered.

Q:Towhatextentisitfairtocharacterizethisprimaryelectionasacontest betweentheprogressiveandmoderate wingsofthelocalDemocraticParty?

A: To characterize this primary election solely as a battle between the progressive and moderate wings of the local Democratic Party oversimplifies the complexities at play. While I proudly identify as a Democrat and embrace progressive values, reducing the race to such labels overlooks the broader context and diverse needs of District 5. My decision to run stems from a deep frustration with the lack of action from current elected officials, particularly as District 5 faces significant challenges, including high poverty levels and neglect. This district deserves an advocate who will fearlessly represent the interests of its diverse residents without being beholden to political favors or debts. My campaign has garnered support from a wide range of individuals, including those who have changed their party affiliation to support my progressive, people-centered platform. If my dedication to serving the community without regard for personal political gain qualifies this race as progressive versus moderate, then so be it. However, my ultimate goal is to provide inclusive and interactive representation that prioritizes the needs of all constituents, especially those in the working-class and blue-collar communities of District 5.

Q:Whatisthemostimportantdifferencebetweenyouandyouropponentin theprimary?

A: Apart from the influence of billionaires, special interest groups and individuals earning over ten times the median income of Arapahoe County annually (which is $46,244), who are attempting to sway this election with their wealth, the most important distinction between my opponent and me in the primary is rooted in our approach to community engagement and service. While my opponent may tout endorsements and political connections, my candidacy is fueled by a genuine commitment to grassroots activism and direct support for vulnerable communities. My experiences, from managing budgets to hands-on assistance for those in need, have been driven by a sense of duty and moral obligation rather than political ambition.

My involvement in the community predates any aspirations for elected office. I have consistently prioritized the needs of the community because it’s the right thing to do, not for personal gain or political advantage. This authenticity and dedication to the people are reflected in my actions, whether it’s continuing to canvass after being bitten by a dog or actively listening to the concerns of constituents.

My candidacy is not just about winning an election, it’s about serving as a voice for the community and making a positive impact on society. I am driven by the desire to honor my family, inspire others who have faced challenges, and encourage civic engagement among the youth. My opponent may focus on endorsements and political alliances, but my campaign is rooted in a genuine commitment to uplifting and empowering the people of Arapahoe County. I am Hashim Coates, and I am Unbought, People Bossed.

Their singing abilities were truly remarkable, ranging from their smooth blend harmonizing with each other, making it hard to distinguish their individual voices, to each sister’s ability to deliver a solo with her own unique talent.

Q:Whatfunfactaboutyouwouldmost surprisepeoplewhoknowyou?

A: I find joy in observing people, and I make it a practice to identify at least two positive qualities in individuals I encounter. If I sense that someone is having a challenging day based on their energy or body language, I’m prepared to share those affirmations to brighten their moment. Laughter is a priority for me, as life is too fleeting not to uplift others during our shared journey.

SENATE DISTRICT 28

Two Aurora Democrats are campaigning to represent Senate District 28 in the upcoming primary elections. Mike Weissman has represented House District 36 for the past eight years and is term limited.

He has lived in eastern Aurora for nearly two decades.

He graduated from Tufts University in 1999 and from the University of Colorado Law School in 2014, according to his LinkedIn page.

Keith Idris and his family have lived in Aurora for over a decade, according to this candidate website. He previously served on the Aurora Advisory Budget Committee.

Democrat

Q:Isitimportanttoyoutobuildrapport withvotersfromhistoricallymarginalizedcommunities?Ifso,howwouldyou dothat?

A: This is supremely important to me, and it’s something I think about constantly, and have thought about since I first became a candidate for my present office, House District 36, in 2015. In the immensity of the work at hand –studying issues; assisting constituents; understanding people – public service jobs are bigger than any one person can be. This is especially true when we work to build bridges with others whose backgrounds are different than our own backgrounds. I think it starts with coming from a place of humility about what you don’t know, or might not know, and trying actively to gain perspective. That means listening. It means putting yourself in places where you will hear things from people whose perspectives are different from yours. Specifically in the legislative context, it means paying attention to what issues are being brought forward from colleagues who are themselves representatives of historically marginalized communities, especially when those issues are explicitly on behalf of marginalized communities, and trying to support those issues. For example I have had colleagues in the Colorado House who are the first African

immigrant representative in our state’s history; the first Muslim representative; the first transgender representative. I have paid close attention to the issues these colleagues raise. Specifically in the community context, it means, among other things, awareness about elements of history around the world that we may not think about much overall in the United States but that are deeply important to particular immigrant & refugee communities. It means awareness of culturally significant holidays, such as Lunar New Year. It means being available to people are naturally leaders in their respective communities within our broader community of Aurora.

Q:Statelawmakersrecentlypassed ahandfulofmeasuresaddressingthe problemofaffordablehousing.What more,ifanything,canthestatedoto addresswhattomanyfamiliesinAurora andthemetroplexisacriticalproblem?

A: I fundamentally look at this as two halves. First, we have to get more homes built (for sale or for rent) that are priced affordably. Second, we have to help people be able to pay those sale prices or rental rates. In 2019 I passed a bill to eliminate a $45-50M/year sales tax loophole and instead invest that money into affordable housing. That was the first time CO has had a durable source of funding like that for this purpose. This year in particular the legislature expanded or created a variety of tax credits that will invest over $1.5 billion into affordable housing construction into the early 2030s. Basically, when the state invests either through dollars or tax credits, homes can be built and sold for a lower price than they otherwise would be. I have also supported other measures to incentivize building affordable homes, like the HB24-1152, the “accessory dwelling unit” bill. 1152 says that IF You want to build such a unit on your property, and you comply with building codes, the local government can’t get in your way. So it’s both a housing bill and a property rights bill. (And if you don’t want to build an ADU, you certainly don’t have to.)

On the other side, hundreds of thousands of people in our state are “housing cost burdened”. That means they pay more than 30% of their earnings on housing. Some people have to pay more than 50%. This is a lot of why I have worked so hard on our tax laws over the years, to get rid of corporate loopholes and put dollars back into the pockets of working families through laws like the Earned Income Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and tax credits for the costs of child care and to support senior citizens.

Q:PrimarilyDenver,butAurora,too, hasabsorbedthebiggestbruntofan influxofmorethan30,000immigrants overthepastyear,primarilyfromSouth America.Shouldthestatestepupits supportofmunicipalitiesorcountiesto helpcarefortheseimmigrants?

A: Our ability as a state is somewhat limited, but yes. For example this year we passed, and I was a co-sponsor of, HB24-1280, which invested some funding into a grant program by which the state would work with non-profit partners. In this kind of work we have to acknowledge that the state can be a bit slow sometimes and that sometimes non-profits that are grounded in our communities are able to move faster

and get things done.

Q:Stateandlocalpolicedepartments continuetoreportalackofresources neededtoprovidetrafficpatrol.Should thestatemandatetheuseofspeedcheckcamerasandticketsonstate roadsandhighwaystohelpcurbspeedingandweaving?

A: I’d like to climb a really big mountain, say Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru in Africa. Q:Whatmoviedoyouthinkdeservesa sequel?

A: This is pretty nerdy, but a sequel could be made to Oppenheimer. The sequel could go into the development of the hydrogen (fusion) bomb like Oppenheimer went into the development of the atomic (fission) bomb. The rivalry between Oppenheimer himself and Edward Teller who played a part in the Oppenheimer movie and who is sometimes thought of as the “father of H bomb” was intense, personal, political, and pretty awful especially for Oppenheimer.

Q:Isahotdogasandwich?

A: No. If you were to put the hotdog on bread, I would reluctantly concede that would be a sandwich. But hotdogs on a bun…that’s just a hotdog, not a sandwich.

Q:Isitimportanttoyoutobuildrapport withvotersfromhistoricallymarginalizedcommunities?Ifso,howwouldyou dothat?

A: Historically marginalized communities require more than rapport building. Instead, historically marginalized communities need access to capital and resources. Throughout this campaign, I have supported the notion of making Aurora the Small Business Capital of America - including for historically marginalized communities. The Colfax corridor can be a hub of commerce and industry for Woman-owned small businesses, Black-owned small businesses, Brown-owned small businesses - ALL SMALL BUSINESSES. Historically marginalized communities must have a shot at ownership of homes, businesses, and communities. Mere rapport building will not generate revenue to build up our communities. A message of economic growth and development will ignite the rapport required to create jobs and strengthen our economy. I will ensure we engage all communities and stakeholders if elected to SD28. I would keep constituents engaged in several ways. First, I would act in a man-

2024 Primary Election voter information and resources

Primary Election Day is Tuesday, June. 25, but registered voters in Colorado started receiving mail-in ballots after June 2. Colorado began statewide vote by mail in 2013.

We know voters and potential voters will have questions about how voter registration works, how mail-in ballots work, how ballots are counted and more. The Colorado News Collaborative and its members, including Sentinel Colorado, want to answer those questions.

When do elections officials start counting our ballots?

Elections officials may start counting ballots 15 days ahead of the election. But first, elections officials must verify the voter signature on the envelope. (See below for information about how signatures are verified.) The early counting relieves some of the Election Day crush, but no results will be made public until after polls close at 7 p.m. Nov. 7. Not even elections officials know the results until then because computer software prevents the count from being revealed until after polls close. Even with the head start in the count, full results in super-close contests still might take a few days.

• Arapahoe County voter information visit: www.arapahoevotes. com or call 303-795-4511

• Adams County voter information visit: www.adamsvotes.com or call 720-523-6500

• Denver voter information visit: www. denvergov.org/Government/ or call 720-9138683

• Douglas County voter information visit:

www.douglas.co.us/elections or call 303660-7444

Who can vote in the 2024 Primary Election?

• Voters affiliated with a major party: may cast a ballot for candidates of the party they are affiliated with.

• Voters affiliated with a minor party: if there is a minor party contest those affiliated with that minor party may cast a ballot for those candidates.

• Unaffiliated voters: An unaffiliated voter may cast a ballot for any one political party. If an unaffiliated voter returns a ballot with more than one political party, the ballot will be rejected and none of the votes will be counted.

Registration

How do I know if I’m registered to vote?

GoVoteColorado.com has a range of information on registration, including the ability to register to vote if you have a Colorado driver’s license or ID card.

What if I’ve moved?

This link also will allow you to change your address: www.sos.state.co.us/voter/pages/ pub/olvr/findVoterReg.xhtml

How long do I have to register?

Typical voter registration has ended in order to receive a mail-in ballot. But any qualified voter can register and vote in person at vote centers through 7 p.m. on Election Day.

Ballots

What signature is used to validate the one on my returned ballot envelope? My signature has changed over time.

The most recent signature on a state transaction is used as a reference — typically a recent driver’s license or the signature on

the last ballot you returned. All past signatures are available for election judges to review.

If election judges question your signature, you’ll get a notice from your clerk within three days (two if it occurs on Election Day) and you’ll have eight days to verify the signature is yours.

Do I have to request a ballot from my county clerk or the Secretary of State?

Not if you’re an active registered voter. County clerks automatically will begin mailing ballots to active registered voters on Oct. 8. Again, a voter is considered active if they’ve voted in the most recent general elections or updated their address or other registration information.

How do I know if my ballot was received?

Voters statewide may sign up to track your ballot online. You’ll get notifications via email, text message or phone (you may choose) when your ballot is mailed, and when it has been received and accepted. A dozen Colorado counties already offered ballot tracking, so if you’re already signed up, there’s no need to do it again.

How do I return my ballot?

Ballots must arrive at a vote center or county clerk’s office by 7 p.m. June 25. You may mail your ballot back, if there’s enough time for it to arrive. Remember: postmarks don’t count, according to the Secretary of State. The ballot has to be in the physical possession of elections officials on Primary Election Day — not sitting in a blue box somewhere in the metroplex.

You may also deliver it to drop boxes at your county clerk’s office or other locations in your county. About 75% of Colorado voters return their mail ballots to drop boxes, according to the Secretary of State’s office.

What if I don’t get my ballot?

Check GoVoteColorado.com to see if your ballot has been mailed. If it has been mailed and you haven’t received it, contact your county clerk’s office and ask. Not every county will send ballots out the first day possible. But they need to hear from you if you don’t receive yours.

I won’t be here during the time ballots are mailed out?

Can I get a ballot earlier? Or have one mailed to a different address?

Yes. And, as of now, you may be able to pick up a ballot before you leave. Contact your county clerk to work out details if you want to pick up a ballot or have it mailed to a different address.

Security

Are drop boxes safe from tampering?

Yes, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. They are under 24-hour video surveillance and are emptied every day by a team of bipartisan election judges. The sturdy, metal boxes are bolted to the ground.

If I send my ballot back by mail, will it get there?

The Secretary of State recommends delivering ballots in person in the final eight days before the election. If you mail them before that, they should arrive in time.

I don’t want to vote by mail. I want to vote in person.

Colorado will open hundreds of voting centers and drop boxes the last week of October. You may vote there in person starting then through 7 p.m. Primary Election Day with some limited weekend hours.

Summer reads in the city

BY THE AURORA SENTINEL

Whether your on summer vacation or just in summer vacation mode, something new and different to read will make the season for lounging memorable.

Here’s a short list of recommended reads from journalists near and far, tapping into the “different” as well as the memorable.

Indigenous author explores charged issue of blood lines in his debut novel `Fire Exit’

Morgan Talty’s debut novel is narrated by a white man named Charles, who lives across the river from the Penobscot Nation. Years before the story begins, he fathered a child with a Native woman, Mary, who raised the girl on the reservation with her Native husband. Charles wants to tell their daughter the truth about her paternity, but Mary does not. Their conflict comes to a head when Elizabeth goes missing and Charles must help find her. Associated Press reviewer Ann Levin says Talty’s book is a brave, heartfelt exploration of family and tribal identity.

From Crichton and Patterson, ‘Eruption’ is poised to be seismic publishing event

Michael Crichton pulls off a “Jurassic Park”-like resurrection, posthumously releasing a new thriller, “Eruption,” with James Patterson, the king of co-authoring. The book’s characters are straight out of central casting, writes AP reviewer Rob Merrill, about the story of an imminent eruption of the Mauna Loa volcano on the big island of Hawaii. Fans of both authors will guarantee it’s a bestseller. It’s formulaic, sure, and the writing won’t win any prizes, but it’s a thrill and the pages practically turn themselves. There are real character casualties, giving the story some emotional weight, but there are also a lot of scenes seemingly written with a movie in mind.

In ‘Farewell Amethystine,’ a private eye hunts for a beautiful woman’s exhusband

In “Farewell Amethystine,” the 16th novel in Walter Mosely’s series featuring Los Angeles private detective Easy Rawlins, a beautiful woman hires him to look for her missing ex-husband. When he presses for details, he thinks she’s lying about something. However, he’s drawn to her and takes the case anyway. Soon, he’s ensnared in a byzantine plot involv-

ing the mob, a casino, police corruption and several murders. AP reviewer Bruce DeSilva says the main attraction of this and other Mosely novels is the prose. The dialogue is pitch perfect and some passages have the sensuous rhythm of a basement slow dance.

Joyce Carol Oates’ novel ‘Butcher’ is a reflection on women’s agency over their bodies

The new novel “Butcher” by Joyce Carol Oates is a reflection on women’s agency over their bodies. It tells the story of Silas Aloysius Weir during his years as director of New Jersey State Asylum for Female Lunatics in the mid- to late 1880s. It uses authentic documents of 19th century doctors to describe the horrific medical experiments of that time. The novel comes amid the current political debates around reproductive rights in a post-Roe v. Wade world. Oates is the author of more than 50 novels. They include a fictional account of Marilyn Monroe’s life.

So you think the culture wars are new? Shakespeare expert James Shapiro begs to differ

Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro knows the power of free theater. The Columbia University professor was advising New York’s Public Theater when its 2017 production of “Julius Caesar” sparked an uproar for drawing parallels between the Roman tyrant and Donald Trump. In a new book, Shapiro examines a similar moment in the late 1930s when a congressional committee took aim at a fledgling, taxpayer-supported theater project and killed it by fomenting a culture war.

Associated Press reviewer Ann Levin says “The Playbook” is an enthralling story of a little-known chapter in American theater history. It is published by Penguin Press.

A dark secret exposed about a World War II internment camp in ‘First Frost’

In 1964, Walt Longmire’s football career at Southern Cal ended, so he enlisted in the Marines. On his way to boot camp, his truck broke down near the desert town of Bone Valley, Arizona. Unfriendly locals warned him to get out or else. Clearly, something was wrong, and Walt just couldn’t let it go. Eventually, he learns a dark secret worth killing for about an abandoned nearby World War II Japanese internment camp. “First Frost” is Craig Johnson’s 20th novel featuring Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire. Reviewer Bruce DeSilva says fans of the series

will appreciate how the action-packed tale adds to the hero’s backstory.

Emil Ferris tackles big issues through a small child with a monster obsession

Emil Ferris follows up her visually stunning 2017 debut graphic novel with its concluding half, “My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book 2.” Picking up where Book 1 left off, 10-year-old Karen Reyes is in a fever dream, processing the death of a loved one. In lined notebooks filled with her favorite thing, monsters, she narrates and illustrates her life in 1968 Chicago. Donna Edwards of The Associated Press says “Monsters” is an incredible feat of storytelling and art, and a must-have for any comic-lover’s collection. “My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Book

2” is available from Fantagraphics Books, Inc.

Twin brothers, one religious, one not, go on a wild and wacky road trip through South

Mayer Belkin is deeply engrossed in his study of Torah when he receives some shocking news. His mother has taken her own life, leaving behind a suicide note in which she reveals that Mayer and his twin, David, are not in fact Jewish. Devastated, Mayer embarks on a road trip through the South with his rascally brother that will prompt both men to reevaluate their lives. So begins “Goyhood,” Reuven Fenton’s quirky and entertaining debut novel that explores the enduring importance of faith and family. Associated Press reviewer Ann Levin says readers should buckle up and prepare for a rollicking good ride.

Rhythmic. Moving. Heartbreaking. This time-bending play takes on the Flint Water Crisis and dives deep into the poisonous choices of the outside world, the contamination within, and how we make the best decisions for our families’ futures when there are no real, present options. This Regional Premiere features an intergenerational cast of all Black women joined in song, in reckoning and in ritual.

Fazal Sheikh: Thirst | Exposure | In Place

Fazal Sheikh: Thirst | Exposure | In Place is an exhibition created from three projects photographer Fazal Sheikh made on the Colorado Plateau from 2017 to early 2023. Sheikh’s portraits and landscapes shed light on the far-reaching consequences of extractive industry and climate change.

The exhibition presents Sheikh’s recent work in three interrelated sections: Thirst is a new series of aerial photographs that document the decline of the Great Salt Lake in

northeast Utah, which is shrinking due to overconsumption and dwindling rain and snowfall. Exposure examines the impacts of uranium, coal, oil and natural-gas extraction on the American Southwest and on its Indigenous inhabitants. In Place evokes the enduring landscapes of the Bears Ears region in Utah, bringing Sheikh’s photographs together with contributions from scientists and Indigenous communities in and around Bears Ears in southeastern Utah.

Visitors will reflect upon the transformation—and often devastation—of these landscapes in the context of the past, present and future, while considering the juxtaposition of beauty and catastrophe, as well as intimate, human-scale stories and those spanning vast geological eras and changes.

Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI)

ForAurora Mental Health and Recovery New Acute Care Center 1290 South Potomac Street, Aurora, Colorado 80012 CE1HS52409 218331-01

In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act, the Council on Environmental Quality regulations for implementing NEPA (40 CFR Parts 1500 through 1508) and the HHS General Administration Manual Part 30 Environmental Protection (February 25, 2000), HRSA has determined that the Aurora Mental Health and Recovery (AMHR) New Acute Care Center project will have no significant adverse impact on the quality of the human environment. As a result of this FONSI, an Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provides funding through the FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 117328) for congressionally directed spending projects that relate to the construction and renovation (including equipment) of health care and other facilities.

Aurora Mental Health and Recovery has applied for this HRSA award. The applicant proposes to use HRSA funding to construct a new patient care building and associated parking lot; utilities such as telephone, electrical, and sewer; and a landscape area on a vacant parcel that was purchased by AMHR in 2020. The proposed building would consist of three floors within a footprint of approximately 0.46 acre. The gross square footage of the building would total 48,289. The parking lot (0.69 acre) would be used by patients, staff, and visitors, and would accommodate up to 81 passenger vehicles and four full size vans.

A 16-foot sanitary sewer easement area (0.06 acre), two detention ponds (0.51 acre), and drainage and water easements (1.86 acres) would be constructed as part of the Proposed Action. Underground electric cables, fiber optic cables, and a water line would also be installed during construction. The 7.3-acre total project area is currently vacant (recently cleared of buildings and infrastructure) except for trees bordering the project site, and the entire project area has been seeded with native seeds and mulched. The applicant submitted an Environmental Assessment (EA) that documents impacts of the proposed action. This EA is incorporated by reference into this FONSI.

Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Assessment for this project, which is on file at the following address for public examination upon request between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

ner consistent with my skills as an attorney. The most essential characteristic of a reasonable attorney is the ability to listen to others. I will actively listen to all communities and guarantee that listening sessions are accessible to all who wish to attend.

Second, I would research to understand the issues of concern. Only through research would one understand the specific challenges and priorities of community leaders and organizations who established trust with marginalized communities.

Third, I will continue consistently engaging constituents beyond standard election-time show-ups.

Fourth, we must be candid with voters about what is possible versus the impossible. I refuse to engage in unrealistic promises. We need leadership that can keep communities informed about proposals, progress made, and setbacks and how the same impacts them.

Fifth, we must be dedicated to inclusive policies that address systemic issues faced by marginalized communities and involve community members in the policy-making process to ensure their voices are heard.

Sixth, and finally, we must offer resources, support, and services that directly benefit the community while partnering with local organizations to provide health care, job training, and educational opportunities.

Q:Statelawmakersrecentlypassed ahandfulofmeasuresaddressingthe problemofaffordablehousing.What more,ifanything,canthestatedo toaddresswhattomanyfamiliesin Auroraandthemetroplexisacritical problem?

A: As noted previously, the issue of affordable housing is based upon a high

demand and a limited inventory. If we sunset the construction defect statutes, we can encourage developers to build more inventory, decreasing the demand as consumers are placed into single-family homes and multi-dwelling units. The affordable housing issue will persist as long as the statute remains in effect.

Primarily Denver, but Aurora, too, has absorbed the biggest brunt of an influx of more than 30,000 immigrants over the past year, primarily from South America. Should the state step up its support of municipalities or counties to help care for these immigrants?

The legislature can assist cities, counties, and municipalities in addressing the migrant crisis. However, this is an issue that federal and state officials must solve together. The United States has a long history of assisting other nations as they fight poverty and disease. This was evidenced by pro-

grams such as the Peace Corps or the United States Agency for International Development “USAID.” Unfortunately, there has been a decreased interest in assisting other nations to combat issues such as hunger. Until we can help other nations stabilize their governments, our cities, counties, and states will be left to address only the symptoms of a more significant global crisis. As President John F. Kennedy noted in his Inaugural Address in January 1961, “If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.”

Q:Stateandlocalpolicedepartments continuetoreportalackofresourcesneededtoprovidetrafficpatrol. Shouldthestatemandatetheuseof speed-checkcamerasandticketson stateroadsandhighwaystohelpcurb speedingandweaving?

A: There are more than 700 state high-

ways in Colorado, and each stretch of road is unique in its own right. The state government should not dictate how to enforce statutes to local jurisdictions best. State and local authorities should inform legislators of their overall concerns, and state legislators should formulate legislation that best meets the needs of each jurisdiction.
