WALKING IT OFF

After a brutal attack, Debi Hunter Holen reflects on her attacker’s conviction, fate

Valentine’s Day is the worst time to look a grift horse in the mouth

I’ll get the unpleasant part out of the way: admitting that I suck at giving gifts my wife likes.

She hates that about me.

Now for the really unpleasant part. I don’t know what to get for her this year for Valentines Day to hate.

DAVE PERRY Editor

It’s not like I don’t want to get her something that makes her squeal with delight when she opens that Nordstrom-looking box while we’re having that awesome romantic dinner, with us and my 27-year-old daughter. But I fail because of my disease. I’m frugal.

OK. I’m a liar, because I’m actually cheap.

I don’t want to be miserly. It’s congenital. I was raised the poor son of penny-pinching parents. They were not the kind of people who hoard money, we just didn’t have any. So anything that cost more than a buck or two was a lot of money. Anything more than $100 was a life-changing expense.

I don’t mean to make it out like I lived in a holler and ate opossum pie for Thanksgiving. But Friday was payday, and we went to the grocery store for the week’s entertainment. As a family, we were not only poor, but kinda fat, too. Store brand canned rice pudding is not at the top of the list of best nutritional choices.

For as long as I can remember, my culinary diary has been mapped out by Wednesday circulars, they still are. I horrify my daughter by always scouring the clearance racks and rooms. I treasure day-old donuts and mangled boxes of cereal for pennies on the dollar. Bag o’ nasty avocados for a buck? You betchya.

“Wow. I didn’t think anybody actually bought this stuff,” one checkout clerk quipped one day, as I immediately drew looks of curiosity and then pity from the other customers. She winced when I pulled out the coupon for the damaged, sticky bottle of Pine

Sol, but gave me the discount. It was cool.

To this day, while my wife, Melody, and all my friends live in regular dread of having to shop for groceries, I still love it. Any food expenditure was and is justifiable. I have no problem paying $7.63 for enough farmed salmon for three meals — only when it’s on sale — but laying out that same amount on decent towels or sturdy laundry baskets? Sinful.

“Why not just use old boxes for dirty laundry?” I asked recently. Melody seemed to think I was offering to move and obliged me. She has nice towels for her and our daughter. After I complained about the price of them, I’ve been relegated to using something most people would say no longer would suffice to wash the car. It sops up the water but leaves behind a cache of lint and threads in my hair. It’s bad karma, I’ve heard more than once.

So I want to buy something nice for Valentine’s Day, I just get all weird when I see how much money it costs. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m a tightwad, but I’m no hermit. We live in a kinda nice house. I ski, just not a lot, which is an issue. Once a year or so we’ll fly somewhere very far away and obscenely expensive — if we’d gone when normal people go. But I can tell you where the damaged goods and clearance racks are just about anywhere in Avignon, Mainz, Buenos Aires and weird American cities in a good many states.

So it would seem like I would win the best husband prize when one year I announced I was giving Melody a trip to Iceland for Valentine’s Day.

“Are you going, too?” she asked, making me feel sort of funny.

“Well, yeah.”

“Then it’s a vacation, not a Valentine’s Day gift.”

Melody and my daughter seem to have a lot of rules about things like this. I, however, am unemcumbered.

She’s difficult to please when it comes to birthday, anniversary and Christmas gifts. It’s not like I ever gave her a sweater that would win an ugly sweater contest. Well, there was one that I kind of wondered what I was thinking when she pulled it out of the box. She wondered that, too. I got it from the rack of doom.

And it’s not like I’m the kind of cad who gives household appliances as gifts. Well, there was a vacuum, but she said she really wanted it. It wasn’t the one she wanted. It was a knock-off, and I got it on sale. But the thought was first-rate. And the toaster, well, that was supposed to be a joke, and it would have been a really good one if I’d remembered to get something else for that Valentine’s Day. It’s not like it wasn’t a nice toaster. Just not a name brand, and it was a display model or a return or something. You couldn’t even see the dent on the back side.

OK. I’m a loser. I go to Etsy.com and look at the stuff she talks about loving and think, “Seriously? $50 plus shipping for craft projects? I could make that for $2.”

But then I run out of time, and it’s days or hours away from Valentine’s Day and, well, who wouldn’t want a knock-off IKEA shower curtain from Big Lots?

And that brings me to the waning hours before V-Day hits this year. I’ve already been warned about gift cards, which are apparently a euphemism for not caring enough to actually find a gift. I, however, would love to be euphemised. Not Melody.

And looking through the Harbor Freight Dollar Days circular for the gift that will save my marriage and my reputation looks pretty grim. If you have suggestions, send them now. Follow @EditorDavePerry on Mastadon, Twitter and Facebook or reach him at 303-750-7555 or

What I assumed to be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for last year, was not. Trying to be helpful during the coldest time of the year, who wouldn’t want some love from some warm clothing? My wife, apparently. PHOTO BY DAVE PERRY

Immigration quandary is still solvable with reason

The nation’s growing immigration quagmire has become a crisis only because we’ve needlessly made it one.

Yet another generation of MAGA Republicans are now part of Congress and insisting that shutting down almost all immigration — and deporting those here without proper credentials — is a practical solution.

It’s nothing more than the same dangerous delusion that drove Donald Trump and his acolytes to waste billions of dollars on a “wall” and torment millions of people.

Now, and for decades, the “problem” of illegal immigration has been primarily about jobs, and the past and current Republican forays into the morass have ignored that.

Despite all the heated rhetoric and emotional arguments targeting both sides of this thorny issue, there is a growing cadre of critical facts:

• There are an estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the United States, and their stories and circumstances are astoundingly varied. Officials estimate greater Aurora is home to about 130,000 undocumented immigrants.

• Many of these immigrants are already settled and integrated into our communities. They have jobs. They own cars and homes. They make more than $60 billion a year from U.S. businesses, according to a variety of sources. They have children in schools. They spend money in the community. If we deport them, can they retain their property? Business groups and more than a few industries haven’t been shy in making it clear that these immigrants are critical to their operations. If they leave, who will fill their jobs? Many metro businesses can’t find employees even with undocumented immigrants filling the workforce.

• Deporting undocumented immigrants is far from being a simple matter. Many families consist of citizens and non-citizens, many with varying degrees of authorization. If the father of a family of six is deported, why force his American wife and perhaps three-of-six documented children to live here in anguished poverty and on the government dole, if they don’t leave the country with him? Tearing apart families will only lead to tragedy and increased government expense.

• The cost of rounding up, collecting from jails, housing, processing and deporting millions of immigrants would be astronomical. Even proponents admit that. The federal government has tried to boost its border control and ICE force before, only to find out how difficult, ineffective and expensive it is.

• Once collection and deportation of immigrants begins in earnest, the level of angst and panic would push communities like Aurora into real chaos. Unauthorized immigrants would quickly go underground, pulling their children out of school, avoiding police and other government officials, hoarding cash and spending little. Everyone’s chances of being involved in a hit-and-run car crash would increase dramatically as anyone nervous about their citizenship status, or with someone like that, does all they can to avoid civilian police. Immigrants, and people who appear to be immigrants, would be easy and frequent targets for criminals and scams, as crooks and bandits take advantage of the fact that these people would likely never contact police.

Despite claims that unauthorized residents drain public resources, a 2017 study by Colorado’s Bell Research Policy Center revealed that the question of what undocumented immigrants “cost” the state is: nothing. The Bell center calculated that the cost of educating unauthorized children, incarcerating undocumented convicts and providing social-safety-net benefits to some is about the same of what these residents and families pay in sales taxes, property taxes, income taxes and more.

We don’t have to sabotage the entire country to solve the problem, and given the massive challenges the country faces with climate change, health care, infrastructure and foreign wars, this really isn’t even a problem at all, even as it exists.

But we can offer those who live here work permits and work visas that allow them to live legally in the U.S. — under any conditions we choose. They must pay taxes, penalties, document their lives, anything we insist on. If they are convicted of felony crimes, they lose their visa. In order to work in the U.S., they must prove citizenship or visa status. If a business is caught employing someone without work credentials, they must pay a serious and hefty fine.

It’s about jobs. It’s not hard. It’s not unfair. And it’s not impractical. That must be the win-win basis for comprehensive immigration.

But first, Aurora, and all of Colorado, must stand firm against GOP congressional leaders’ demands to oust families living in the United States, indiscriminately bus them across the country, and use racist, xenophobic tropes and tricks or ignore a problem that is so easily addressable.

State bill will force higher insurance premiums

Editor: HB23-1068 has unintended consequences. If insurance companies cannot charge premiums based on risk (large or aggressive pets) then they will just raise premiums on everyone. Dead beat tenants might get a pet to put more evictions roadblocks in place. Use my taxpayer dollars and your taxpayer dollars to reimburse owners up to $1000 tenants pay for pet damage. What happened to personal responsibility?

Greenwood Village’s scholarship exclusion a bad move for all of Arapahoe County

Editor: Art is usually about breaking down barriers, opening minds, connecting communities, and reaching across borders. For members of Greenwood Village City Council, however, it appears to be about closing doors, building walls, marginalizing people, and restricting arts funding. That pessimistic conclusion follows the recent decision of city leaders to cut the funding for an arts scholarship after they couldn’t force the city’s Arts and Humanities Council to limit eligibility to only city residents. Previously, the annual scholarships of up to $5000 had been open to any graduating high school senior living in Arapahoe County.

Of the nearly seventy scholarships Greenwood Village Arts Council has awarded over three decades, the majority have been given to Village residents, with just twenty-nine of the winners living outside the city. However, last year’s three scholarship winners were from Smoky Hill High School, Overland High School, and Eaglecrest High School. It appears rather unseemly that following a year when three talented artists from outside the city won – a year when only two Village students even applied – the Council voted to restrict and ultimately kill the scholarship. Eliminating a scholarship, and effectively hurting young people who could have benefited, simply because they couldn’t give it to their own neighborhood kids, regardless of interest or merit, is profoundly disappointing.

Injecting politics and division into a program that should be about inclusion and joy is nothing short of spiteful. However, that is the nature of the local politicians who ran for office on a campaign of exclusion, the Save-Our-Village movement. Council Member Donna Johnston said, “It’s not our role to pay for anything outside of our city that doesn’t benefit us.” If that’s the philosophy of Greenwood Village city leaders, then it’s probably in the interest of people outside the city to reconsider spending money in the Village. For, apparently

Johnston and her Council cronies believe their city is a self-sustaining island. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Greenwood Village is a tiny entity in southeast Denver, and most of its political business is irrelevant to people outside the city. However, this recent action should be of great interest to all residents of Arapahoe County. For, there’s little doubt that residents of Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Englewood, and others spend money in GV, a town whose budget is heavily dependent on sales tax to fund its beautifully manicured parks, its pristinely plowed streets, its appealing parks and rec program, and exclusive community offerings. The arts scholarship issue is significant for non-resident families whose kids attend school there, study dance there, take arts and music classes there, attend concerts there, hang with friends there, spend their money there. It’s relevant to the 50,000 people who travel into Greenwood Village to work every day – taxpayers who are charged a monthly two-dollar fee for the privilege of working in the Village.

Perhaps, non-Village-residents who can spend their money elsewhere should consider keeping their business out of the Village. For the current crop of council cronies have made it clear to non-Villagers that GV business is “none of your business.” The scorched earth politics of the people on the Council has already led to businesses moving just across the street in the Tech Center. The curmudgeonly council effectively zoned the entire city against middle and working class people when it voted to outlaw any future townhomes, condos, apartments, or multi-family housing. As one former council member told me at, ironically, a charity event, “Look, I only want single family houses.” Yeah, he actually said that to a teacher who lives in a townhome in the Village.

The most egregious and deceptive part of the city council’s action is that the Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council does not use any city tax revenue. In 2011, a city ordinance established that “Monies required for the (Arts) Council shall come from donations, proceeds of fundraising events, and grants secured by the (Arts) Council, and held within the Special Revenue Fund.” The Arts Council raises its own money, sponsors its own events like the arts scholarship, and conducts its own business, the goal of which is to support the arts. Thus, theoretically, a resident of Centennial or Aurora could contribute funds to GV Arts with the expectation that they support a scholarship open to a kid from their own city, and the GV City Council could take that money and tell the Arts Council they can’t give it to non-residents.

And that’s just wrong.

Witness protection

HINKLEY SHOOTING, SENTINEL STORY PROMPT CALL FOR CHANGE IN STATE COURT RECORDS LAW

BY CARINA JULIG, Sentinel Staff Writer

Prompted by information made public and a Sentinel Colorado story connected to the 2021 Hinkley High School shooting, a new state legislative proposal would require all juveniles’ names to be redacted from court records.

The bill, drafted by Aurora state Sen. Rhonda Fields, stems from a 2021 incident where officials now allege unredacted affidavits published by Sentinel Colorado harmed teen witnesses to a shooting at a local high school.

To date, after several requests, neither the Aurora Police Department nor Aurora Public Schools have provided evidence to support claims that students dropped out of school and went into protective custody because of the published affidavits.

Senate Bill 23-75, “Deletion Of Child’s Name From Criminal Justice Records,” was introduced Jan. 27 by Fields, Sen. Tony Exum and Rep. Naquetta Ricks, all Democrats..

Under current Colorado law, the names of juveniles are required to be redacted from court documents when they are a victim of sex assault or child abuse. The new bill would require a child’s name and identifying information be redacted if they are named in court records as either victims

or witnesses of a crime. Juveniles facing criminal charges are already not identified unless they are being charged as adults.

Instead of being identified by name, the designation “child victim” or “child witness” would be used in court documents, the bill states.

Fields said that Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman asked her to bring the bill forward citing an incident where a number of juvenile suspects, witnesses and victims were named in the arrest affidavits for the alleged perpetrators of a shooting at Hinkley High School.

The Nov. 19, 2021, shooting took place in the parking lot of the high school during lunchtime, wounding three students. The shooting particularly rattled the community because it came days after an unrelated shooting near Aurora Central High School, and spurred renewed discussions about youth violence and gang activity.

Four teenage boys were originally charged as adults in connection with the Hinkley shooting. Cases against three are currently ongoing. Charges against one suspect were dropped. Affidavits for three of the suspects were released unredacted by the 18th Judicial District Court, and include the full names and dates of birth for eight juveniles, including two of the students who were shot. Those affidavits were linked to in a Dec. 7, 2021 Sentinel article announcing that a fourth teen had been charged. The

witness information was not included in the written article.

Fields said she was told by the Hinkley principal that one student named in the affidavit dropped out of school, and viewed her bill as a way to safeguard minors and witnesses to crimes.

The issue is one that Fields says is personal to her. In 2005, Fields’ son Javad Marshall-Fields and his fiance Vivian Wolfe, both recent college graduates, were shot and killed less than a week before Marshall-Fields was scheduled to testify as a witness in the murder trial of his best friend.

“My son was a witness,” Fields said. “I see it as a personal issue for me, because we need witnesses to help us solve crimes. And if a child is involved in seeing a crime and their information is exposed and it creates a chilling effect in various settings, then that’s not going to do anything to keep our community safe.”

In a Jan. 28 community town hall meeting, Coffman discussed the bill with constituents and said that because of the affidavit’s publication, students are now less willing to discuss criminal activity with School Resource Officers.

“It’s had such a chilling effect,” he said.

Aurora police would not provide information regarding Coffman’s statement.

After the article with the unredacted affidavits was published, The Sentinel was

not informed of any concerns until over a year later during a December 2022 meeting with Coffman and a Hinkley employee. After the meeting, The Sentinel removed the links to the affidavits from the article.

In a statement, Sentinel publisher Dave Perry said that publishing the names of minors involved in crimes is counter to the newspaper’s policy, unless they are being charged as adults. Perry said he regretted the oversight that led to the affidavits being published without the paper doing its own redacting.

“It’s unclear how unredacted versions of the affidavits were linked to the story rather than those redacted for the sole purpose of shielding names of juveniles not accused of crimes,” Perry said. “We apologize to those students and will ensure such oversights don’t reoccur.”

Perry said that had anyone brought the issue to the Sentinel’s attention in the 11 months since the story was published online, the problem would have been addressed immediately.

“It was never our intention to link our reports with the unredacted affidavit,” Perry said.

Perry questioned the lapse in time to bring the issue to the attention of the paper and others involved given the gravity of reports of how students were affected.

Aurora council approves grants

After months of debate over how the city vetted applicants for a grant program, Aurora’s City Council last week approved 14 nonprofits to receive funding, while rejecting or postponing votes on several others.

Council members voted to fund the $2.5 million program through the federal American Rescue Plan Act last January. Proposals included a variety of assistance for small businesses, older adults, health care programs, Aurora students and others.

Conservatives Curtis Gardner and Francoise Bergan in November convinced their colleagues to postpone a scheduled vote on the list of grant applicants, which deputy city manager Roberto Venegas had said were vetted by a third-party auditor as well as city staffers from multiple departments.

Last week, the two said they were still uncomfortable with the lack of detail offered in the program budgets turned over by city staffers. For the most part, they declined to describe their concerns with the individual proposals removed from a consent vote, mostly by Bergan.

Bergan also said she was worried about how much of the grant funds were being spent on staffing costs and salaries.

“I take it very seriously, my obligation to the public, making sure their taxpayer monies are being used responsibly,” she said. “I’m

not saying that these that I pulled are not necessarily good organizations, I just found them troubling in terms of the information I found.”

While Councilmember Alison Coombs pointed out that it would make sense for organizations that focus on education to be investing a large amount of funds in teachers and other skilled staff, Bergan said she considered that when singling out the proposals.

Arguing that it was unfair for the city to be introducing what seemed like new criteria after the grant program had closed, Councilmember Crystal Murillo said she was not comfortable rejecting the groups that Bergan had singled out.

“I think it’s a pretty common thing to write into grants the cost of your staff,” Murillo said. “There’s a reason why we have a standardized criteria and we follow processes, and for that to change really makes me uncomfortable.”

In total, 13 organizations were approved to receive the recommended grant amounts, including:

* Tigray Ethiopian Community Association in Colorado — $250,000 to support Tigrayans fleeing violence in Ethiopia by constructing a community center that would include retail storefronts, classrooms, a gym and community space.

* DAWN — $227,567 to purchase medical equipment and hire consultants that will help the organization develop standard operating procedures.

* Mi Casa Resource Center — $152,905 to support small business owners through services such as business consulting and legal support.

* A Little Help — $85,000 to support the organization’s outreach work to older adults.

* African Chamber of Commerce Colorado USA — $75,000 to support the chamber’s Technical Assistance program for small businesses.

* Rocky Mountain Youth Medical and Nursing Consultants — $75,000 to fight clinician burnout by having professional medical scribes handle some administrative tasks.

* Boys Hope Girls Hope of Colorado — $50,000 to support the organization’s program at Aurora Central High School to support students in poverty and prepare them for college.

Colorado Alliance for Health Equity and Practice — $50,000 to offer mobile physical and mental health care with the help of a specially-equipped van.

* Community Enterprise Development Services — $50,000 to renovate the organization’s office building and make it more feasible for them to help clients and conduct training.

Aurora Community Connection — $40,000 to provide dance and martial arts classes for Aurora youth.

* Brothers Redevelopment Inc. — $30,000 to purchase at least one

A Rate Worth Getting Excited

vehicle to help provide home renovations and painting services for elderly homeowners in Aurora.

* Aurora Public Schools Foundation — $25,000 to provide free school supplies to Aurora Public Schools educators.

* Downtown Aurora Visual Arts — $25,000 to support HVAC repairs and boiler work in the organization’s Community Art Center.

Although Bergan said she was concerned about the East Colfax Community Collective being based in Denver and running initiatives that she described as “political,” Bergan offered the group $150,000 rather than the $313,598 approved by staff rather than reject the grant proposal completely after several members of the public spoke in favor of the group. The compromise was accepted by the rest of the council.

Other applicants — the Rocky Mountain Welcome Center, RISE Colorado and You be You Early Learning — were rejected by the council, with progressives voting in favor and conservatives opposed. Grants for New American College and Mosaic Unlimited Inc. failed on a tie vote with Gardner joining the progressives in support.

A motion to vote on the proposed grant for Caring Voices was not seconded, and grants for Aurora Interchurch Task Force Inc. and Issues of Life Church Ministries Aurora were not moved at all, meaning they were not voted on.

Finally, the council voted 9-1 to

postpone a vote on a $250,000 grant for the Metro Community Provider Network, as Coombs said she wanted to know whether the organization plans on closing clinics in the near future.

EPA seeking comments

The public has until Feb. 13 to weigh in on new rules proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency to reduce methane pollution at oil and gas facilities.

Emma Galofre Garcia, a doctoral student at C.U. Boulder’s environmental studies program, said the EPA has an opportunity to build on successful efforts led by states including Colorado to rein in methane emissions, a dangerous air pollutant.

“It’s a precursor to ozone and smog, causing lung damage, heart damage, greater susceptibility to respiratory infections. It causes and worsens lung disease such as asthma and bronchitis,” Galofre Garcia said.

Some critics of proposals to limit methane pollution, including those passed in Colorado that require oil and gas operators to find and fix leaks and reduce flaring, have argued that the cost of implementation can be prohibitive. Proponents argue that companies benefit by

capturing emissions and bringing more gas to market.

Some communities face greater risks than others. Latinos are twice as likely to go to the emergency room for asthma, and Latino children are twice as likely to die from asthma as white children.

Galofre Garcia said Latinos historically have had no other option but to live in the shadows of refineries and other sources of air pollution, but the goal should be to make all neighborhoods safe for families.

“Communities of color, Latinos have only had access to housing that have been red-lined and that are in areas that are more polluted,” Galofre Garcia said. “But it’s also that we don’t want places like that to exist.”

She added industrial methane emissions targeted in the EPA’s new rules also come with toxins linked to cancer, damage to immune systems and developmental problems in children.

“Outdoor workers, who are disproportionately Latino, and children, who spend a lot of time outdoors, are at a higher risk of health problems caused by smog – since they spend more time outdoors in polluted air,” Galofre Garcia said.

Sentinel adds ad staff

Amid restructuring, Sentinel Colorado has recruited two expert newspaper and media advertising and marketing veterans for the growing team.

Advertising Director Ron Thayer and Senior Advertising Executive Phoebe Grace Rozelle joined Aurora’s premier news media last week.

“We are fortunate to bring on new team members who are not only highly skilled and committed to building businesses in the community, they’re both deeply passionate about the trusted-news mission of the Sentinel,” said Sentinel Publisher and Editor Dave Perry.

The Sentinel last year began the transformation to begin a non-forprofit corporation, turning the 113 year-old newspaper and digital media company over to the community through an innovative business model.

Advertising Director Ron Thayer comes to the Sentinel after a 13-year career in the Navy and as a sales executive and director for a host of newspapers in Washington, Oregon, California and Pennsylvania.

He was a successful manager for both the Lee newspaper chain and MediaNews Group.

“Each stop has offered me the opportunity to learn something new and to help countless advertisers grow their businesses,” Thayer said, “all while advancing my own career in newspaper sales and sales management.”

Thayer said he’s excited to join the evolving mission of the Sentinel to empower local businesses and communities through a growing variety of strong channels and media.

Rozelle has more than 20 years of experience in statewide business

journals, daily newspapers and alternative publications, as well as marketing and advertising agencies in Pennsylvania, Wyoming and Colorado.

She has a passion for working with large and small businesses to create and execute comprehensive marketing plans to help meet clients’ revenue and awareness needs.

“I’m a stereotypical Colorado transplant who enjoys hiking with my dog, visiting unpretentious mountain towns, soaking in hot springs and listening to live music at small venues, “ Rozelle said. “I haven’t gotten a Subaru or 4Runner. Yet.”

POLICE Man shot in arm

An unidentified man was shot in the arm Feb. 5 in northwest Aurora.

“The injury isn’t life threatening,” police said in a tweet.

Police said the shooting occurred about 11 a.m. somewhere near Chester Street and East 17th Avenue.

Police said the man was shot “by an unknown suspect.”

The alley between East 17th and East 19th avenues between Clinton and Chester streets was closed for a few hours while police investigated.

No other details were released.

Man shot in car

An unidentified man was shot inside his car and wounded Feb. 5 in north Aurora, police said.

The shooting occurred some time Sunday night, but was reported about 11 p.m.

Police said the injured man said the shooting occurred near Atchison Street and East 30th Avenue.

“Victim told officers he was in his car when he was struck by a bullet,” police said. “The victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment of a minor gunshot wound.”

No suspect info was provided.

Teens struck by car

A girl was killed and a boy seriously injured when they were hit by a car while crossing East Colfax Avenue at Moline Street Feb. 1, according to Aurora police. Both were 15 years old.

The two were in the crosswalk, moving from the north side of the street to the south side, when police say they were hit by a Jeep Wrangler traveling east. Police were dispatched to the crash at around 8:30 p.m. Both teens were taken to the hospital.

“The girl was suffering from life-threatening injuries and tragically died from her injuries last night. The boy had serious injuries and is expected to survive,” police wrote in a news release Thursday. “The pedestrians were in the crosswalk, crossing Colfax against traffic, while the Jeep had the right-of-way.”

The release said the driver was not believed to be intoxicated or

speeding when the crash happened. The stretch of Colfax where the crash occurred was reportedly closed for several hours as police collected evidence and took photographs and measurements.

Police said the identity of the girl would be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office once her family is notified. They invited any witnesses to the crash who have not spoken to police to contact them at 720-913-7867.

The girl’s death is the third traffic-related fatality to impact Aurora this year, according to police.

Teen sentenced for deadly fire

A Denver teenager who was one of three friends who authorities say ignited a house fire that killed five Senegalese immigrants was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years behind bars in court where a man who lost his wife and baby daughter called the boy a “monster.”

Amadou Beye said he thinks about killing himself every day and needs medication to sleep. His wife, Hassan Diol, had immigrated to the United States before him and he hadn’t yet met their infant daughter, Hawa.

“My life doesn’t make sense anymore,” Beye told Judge Martin Egelhoff during a sentencing hearing for Dillon Siebert, who was 14 at the time of the Aug. 5, 2020 fire and is now 17. At the hearing, Beye wore a sweatshirt with a photo of his wife and baby together, with the words “Why my wife? Why my daughter?”

The investigation of the fire dragged on for months without any leads amid fears that the fire had been a hate crime, prompting many Senegalese immigrants to install security cameras at their homes in case they could also be targeted. But authorities ended up alleging a separate, disturbing motive — three teens had set fire to the house out of revenge for a stolen iPhone, which

one of them mistakenly traced to the home in a neighborhood near Denver’s airport.

Siebert, originally charged as a juvenile, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in adult court in December under a deal that prosecutors and the defense said balanced his lesser role in planning the fire, his remorse and interest in rehabilitation with the horror of the crime.

In juvenile court on Wednesday, Siebert was sentenced to serve three years in juvenile detention under the terms of the deal. In a separate hearing in adult court, where Beye, and other relatives and members of the Senegalese community spoke against the agreement, Siebert was sentenced to serve seven years in a state prison program for young inmates. If he violates the terms of that sentence, he would then be required to serve 26 years in prison, prosecutors said.

The cases against the other two teens, including the alleged ringleader, Kevin Bui, and Gavin Seymour, who were 16 at the time of the fire, are still pending in adult court where they are charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, arson and burglary.

Also killed in the fire were Hassan Diol’s brother, Djibril, his wife, Adja Diol and their 22-month-old daughter Khadija. Their bodies were found on the first floor of the home

Trail guide

Asplintered board. A tree with blood on it. Her clothes, also bloody. Her bruised body after she was newly admitted to the hospital.

Those are some of the photos that Debi Hunter Holen looked at during the November trial for the man who assaulted her on the High Line Canal trail more than two years ago. Last month, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

Hunter Holen, a longtime Aurora resident and former city council member, says she has refused to let the attack define her or even let her stop walking on the trail, but it has irrevocably changed her life. More than two years later, she’s still wondering what exactly to take away from the experience.

“I feel like there’s something I need to do with this, and I don’t know what it is yet,” she said.

In the early morning of July 11, 2020, Hunter Holen walked along the High Line Canal trail with her friend Carlee Cellar. An avid walker who lives close to the canal, Hunter Holen went on a walk along the trail by herself or with a friend just about every day.

That morning, the pair passed a man who was beating a large piece of wood

against the ground at part of the trail near East Second Avenue and North Oswego Street. He became angry and then lunged for Hunter Holen.

The man, later identified as Julio Gonzalez, began beating Hunter Holen with the wooden board until it splintered. Cellar ran away from the attack and called 911.

Hunter Holen said that at the trial, Cellar testified that as she was running away, she could hear Gonzalez beating her.

“She kept hearing the thud of him hitting me while she ran to get help,” Hunter Holen said.

Hunter Holen learned a lot about the attack for the first time at the trial, in part because she had been instructed not to talk to other witnesses and in part because she didn’t remember much of what happened.

She said she didn’t know that she had a brain bleed or a punctured lung, or that Gonzalez attacked her because he was schizophrenic and heard voices in his head that were telling him to hurt her, according to his attorneys.

“I remember saying or thinking the words ‘make him stop, it hurts,’” Hunter Holen recalled later. She remembered

briefly being in an ambulance, but doesn’t remember the ride to the University of Colorado Hospital, where she then remained for the next six days.

By the time police arrived, Hunter Holen was “completely unresponsive” and had severe injuries to her head and body, according to an arrest affidavit for Gonzalez. The index finger on her left hand was almost completely severed off and the tendon was visible, the affidavit said.

Today, Hunter Holen has recovered significantly but described her reality as more of “a new normal” instead of a return to what she used to feel like. She still doesn’t like people to touch her hair or scalp, which had over 32 staples in it. She struggled for a long time to find a hairdresser she felt comfortable seeing. And the mobility to her left hand has not fully returned.

“I wanted to be able to use my finger so I could cut an onion, and I can almost cut an onion without it slipping,” she said. “But the movement is so limited.”

Hunter Holen doesn’t remember her first several days in the hospital, and says she pieced together what happened to her slowly from hearing her family members

discuss it. Her husband, Bill Holen, was by her side the entire time.

“I don’t know how he did it,” she said.

At the sentencing hearing at the Arapahoe County Justice Center on Jan. 18, Bill Holen spoke about his experience as a military veteran who suffered from PTSD. His wife had been there for him during his struggles, he told Judge Ryan Stuart, and he knew the depth of what she was suffering.

Along with her injuries, he also noted the financial burden of the attack — insurance covered most of the treatment, but the couple was still left with about $50,000 in medical bills, he said.

Hunter Holen’s attack drew headlines in part because of the random nature of a violent assault and her and Holen’s stature in the community. Hunter Holen served on the Aurora City Council from 2011 to 2015, and Holen is a current Arapahoe County Commissioner.

Their lives in local politics also became a point in the trial. Gonzalez’s defense team tried to imply that because Holen is a sitting politician, then-District Attorney George Brauchler had given Gonzalez harsher charges than the attack deserved.

In his impact statement, Holen said he was hurt by the allegation that he misused his position to influence the District Attorney’s office.

“This case was decided on facts, not assumptions,” he said.

Hunter Holen was also upset — but at the same time, she said it may have worked to her benefit.

“I have said since the beginning, thank God my husband is a county commission-

er, and I am a former city councilmember, because I feel that every effort was made to pick him up and get him off the street, and he was not able to hurt anyone else,” she said.

The attacker was newsworthy, too, because of his history.

In an arrest affidavit, police said Gonzalez had fled the scene by the time they arrived. That same afternoon, he was apprehended by police at a local Target for inappropriately touching a woman inside the store. In a bizarre coincidence, the victim in that case was an Aurora city councilmember at the time.

Gonzalez was charged with harassment and released at the scene due to COVID-19 restrictions, and arrested for the attack on Hunter Holen after he returned to a homeless encampment by the trail later that day.

Gonzalez was wearing an ankle monitor at the time of the attack and placed him at the scene of the crime, the affidavit said. He was also identified using surveillance footage from a residence abutting the trail.

It was later discovered that Gonzalez, a native of Guatemala, had been released from the Denver Justice Center less than 12 hours before the attack against Hunter Holen. He had been arrested July 9 by Denver police on assault and battery charges.

Gonzalez legally entered the country through Orlando, Florida, but overstayed his visitation status and had been illegally living in the U.S. for more than three years at the time of the attack, according to ICE officials.

Denver jail officials and ICE traded blame for his release. ICE claimed that

authorities at the justice center refused to honor an immigration detainer that had been filed against him, while the Denver Sheriff’s Department said it had faxed ICE a notification of his release.

After being arrested for attacking Hunter Holen, Gonzalez was later charged for a similar attack that had taken place on the trail on July 8 against a woman riding her bike along the trail with her two daughters. The woman was able to escape on her bike and later identified him as the perpetrator, according to court documents.

When Hunter Holen found out that Gonzalez had just been released from a jail before assaulting her, she said she was initially very angry. After finding out more about his life circumstances during the trial, she’s still angry, but not just at him.

Hunter Holen said that Gonzalez’s legal team described a life that included being raised by an immigrant single mother — who kicked him out of the house at one point because she was so overwhelmed with dealing with him — struggles with severe mental illness and run-ins with law enforcement, after which he was released from confinement with no resources and no way to get help.

“This individual has been let down by every institution he has been in,” she said of Gonzalez.

During the trial, a jury declined to find Gonzalez guilty of attempted murder but also rejected the defense’s argument that he should be found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was ultimately deemed guilty of first and second degree assault.

Gonzalez’s sentencing hearing was an object lesson in the difficulties of deliver-

ing justice for criminals with severe mental illness. Stuart and Gonzalez’s attorney Andrea Kremer both said that they did not believe he would have attacked Hunter Holen if he had been receiving the proper mental health treatment.

Asked to weigh in on his sentence, Hunter Holen told the courts that she wanted Gonzalez to take accountability for what he did and to be in a place where he couldn’t hurt more people, but also to have the opportunity to get help for his illness.

“I want him to be held accountable for what he did, but at some point to be held accountable you have to realize what you did,” she said.

Speaking to the judge at the sentencing, Kremer said the Department of Corrections has extremely limited mental health resources and that it is incredibly unlikely he will get any treatment beyond being medicated for his schizophrenia.

“The reality is that this is purely a punitive sentence at this point,” said Kremer, who held back tears at one point while describing Gonzalez’s predicament.

Gonzalez, who Kremer said was “struggling very badly with his mental health right now,” did not speak at the hearing. Kremer said that since being medicated, he had expressed nothing but remorse for his actions.

“To the extent that it matters to them, Mr. Gonzalez is extremely sorry and horrified by what happened” to Hunter Holen and Cellar, she said.

“Prison isn’t going to fix Julio” and the longer he is incarcerated the longer it will be until he can get serious treatment, she said, asking the judge to impose the mini-

mum sentence of 10 years in prison.

After listening to Kremer and the prosecuting attorneys, who asked Gonzalez to be sentenced to 24 years in prison, Stuart left the courtroom for about 15 minutes before returning to impose his sentence. As he did, he expressed frustration with the limits of his ability. He said he respected the jury’s decision to reject the insanity plea, but that it might have been better for everyone if they had accepted it.

“What Mr. Gonzalez needs is to be in a locked mental health facility for the rest of his life or until he’s rehabilitated,” Stuart said. “That’s how we keep our community safe, that’s how we treat people in a dignified way, that’s how we prevent crime. I feel like that would maybe be the just sentence I could impose — but I can’t, I don’t have that authority under the law.”

Stuart ultimately sentenced Gonzalez to 25 years in the Department of Corrections and three years of mandatory parole with credit for the more than 900 days he’s already spent in jail. He was also given several other sentences that will run concurrently.

Hunter Holen said she’s determined not to let the attack reshape her life. While she struggled psychologically in the immediate aftermath, she credited the outpouring of support from the community with helping her to recover.

After the assault, former Aurora police chief Vanessa Wilson called Hunter Holen and said she would walk the High Line Canal Trail alongside her when she was ready. A month later, the two and another friend of Hunter Holen’s took to the trail, passing the spot where the attack took

place.

Two weeks later she asked Wilson to take another walk with her, and after that decided to walk along the trail by herself again.

“And once I did that it was better,” she said. “It was a lot better. But I had to do it by myself.”

Hunter Holen estimates she walked 2,022 miles last year — much of it along the High Line Canal — and has a goal to walk 2,023 miles this year. She still loves walking, but now she’s more observant of her surroundings. She carries mace or a noisemaker.

About a year after the attack, the High Line Canal Conservancy installed a bench in Hunter Holen’s honor near where the attack took place. It has a plaque with the words “walking in gratitude, sanctity returns,” which Hunter Holen selected.

Most days, she is able to walk by the spot where it happened without issue.

“Usually when I walk by there I don’t even think about it,” she said. “It’s kind of blended into the area. It’s not separate or special anymore.”

In her victim impact statement during the sentencing, she spoke about the long term effects the attack has had on her life but also her refusal to live in fear.

“I was victimized,” she said. “I was not and continue to not be a victim. I shared this with the defense team as well, that while this attack was random, I am thankful it was me. Their client was no longer able to violently victimize others. The impact that day has had on my life is profound. It is clear I have unfinished business.”

The final wall is ahead for the girls swimming season, which concludes for local competitors over three days at the Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center.

In the wake of league championship meets, a combined total of 44 individual swimmers and divers and 15 relay teams from five city programs — Cherokee Trail, Eaglecrest, Grandview, Regis Jesuit and Smoky Hill — earned the chance to compete in the Class 5A state meet, which runs Feb. 7 (diving) and Feb. 9-10 (swimming). Swim prelims take place at 10 a.m. Feb. 9, with finals set for 5 p.m. Feb. 10.

Cherokee Trail comes into state with a compliment of 10 individuals (plus three relays) and some momentum after a third-place finish at the Centennial “A” League meet. Even missing freshman standout Jameson Young, the Cougars managed to finish in front of rival Grandview for the first time at the league meet.

Cherokee Trail’s strength with sprint freestylers has helped its 200 yard freestyle relay team to the No. 6 seed going into the event. Junior Sarah Woren holds the team’s highest individual seed in the No. 14 spot in the 50 yard freestyle (in which she was the Centennial “A” League runner-up) and is seeded to possibly score in two events, as are senior Morgan Walker and Young.

Coach Nick Frasersmith’s Raiders dominated the diving portion, however, as Sarah Mann won the championship (with a score of 412.10 points) with fellow junior Kathryn Jewell (387.90) as the runner-up. The pair will be joined by junior Maya Kriz and sophomore Jasmine Munn at the state meet.

Diving could get Regis Jesuit — which has been ranked No. 2 behind Cherry Creek for the majority of the season — off to a strong start in terms of points before the other 13 individuals and three relay teams get into the water.

The highest-seed swimmer for the Raiders is senior Sophia Frei, who enters the state meet as the top seed in the 100 yard backstroke with a top time of 54.34 seconds. She is also seeded third in the 100 butterfly as one of three Regis Jesuit swimmers (which also includes junior Charlotte Burnham and freshman Taylor Johannsen) seeded to make the championship finals in two events. The Raiders’ highest-seeded relay is the 200 yard medley, which comes in second.

Grandview has the second-most individual qualifiers among city teams with 13, which includes a trio of divers. Sophomore Addison Campbell won the Centennial “A” League title on the board with a season-best score of 488.95 points and will combined with juniors Tanvi Jitta and Hailey-Cate Bull in trying to get coach Karen Ammon’s Wolves off to a good start. Grandview has a strong senior class that includes Paige Dailey, the No. 2 seed in the 100 yard breaststroke, along with Megan Doubrava and Kya Guikema, who are each seeded to potentially score in two events. After Dailey, junior Amelia Brown is the Wolves’ highest-seeded individual as she is No. 4 in the 50 freestyle and No. 5 in the 100. Brown won both events as the Centennial “A” League meet. The Wolves could load up on points in the relays as all three are seeded in the top eight. Smoky Hill’s cast of individual qualifiers (four in all) is all underclassmen, including a trio of freshmen. Leading the way in seeding is Cameryn Walkup, who comes into state seeded No. 7 in the 500 freestyle. Walkup (the Centennial “A” League runner-up in the 200 individual medley) is also seeded to score in the 100 breaststroke. Mya Noffsinger also could earn points in two events if she holds or improves her seeds in the 200 IM and 100 backstroke.

Eaglecrest — whose coach, Jillian Fehringer, was voted as Centennial League Swim Coach of the Year — takes all three of its relay teams with the 400 freestyle seeded highest in 27th.

Rationed passion

VALENTINE’S DAY PRICES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THIS YEAR, BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO RECESSION-PROOF THE HOLIDAY

BY LIAM GIBSON, Wealth of Geeks

hocolates, roses, fine jewelry, candlelit dinners - it all adds up. Yet these pricey indulgences aren’t the only way to show that special someone you care, and when it comes to Valentine’s Day, empty pockets shouldn’t spell a lonely heart.

Valentine’s Day is the fifth biggest consumer spending event of the year. Yet last time we had a recession in 2009, spending on the festival of love dipped by almost 5% - what could 2023 hold?

Bank of America (BofA) economists warn the recession may be upon us as soon as the first quarter. Last month, Fitch Ratings forecasted that rising unemployment, dwindling savings, and pressure on housing prices are likely to stimy U.S. consumer spending growth next year. That means tightening purse strings, especially on discretionary items like flowers.

Yet a slowing economy doesn’t have to drag February 14 down with it. Here we’ll cover a variety of practical tips to cut back on your Valentine’s Day budget while still kindling the romance.

Cheap n’ Cheerful

One of the best ways to save is by simply staying put. Whenever you head out the door for some fun, be it catching an Uber, dining out, or enjoying some entertainment, there are always tips, surcharges, and other unexpected costs that can add up fast and blow your budget.

So instead of going out to a pricey restaurant, surprise your partner with a low-cost homemade meal. Besides, restaurants get overrun by couples on Valentine’s Day. This can have the two of you feel like you are following a crowd rather than spending quality time together.

CBy staying at home, you can make the experience more intimate and memorable for the two of you. Make it extra unique by changing up the decor of the room. Try draping fairy lights over some furniture, setting the table with candles, or adding another twist by drawing on whatever other aesthetic inspires you.

For those who typically head to the cinema for a date, try a movie night at home. Take in a rom-com or even binge-watch a favorite TV show together. Make it even more special by popping popcorn and whipping up a hot chocolate. Haven’t got a Netflix or HBO subscription? Don’t fret - several platforms stream movies for free, including Hoopla and Crackle. Just be sure to check whatever title you want to watch is available beforehand.

To really save on the symbolism, try avoiding flowers and instead go for a beautiful pot plant. Not only do they last much longer, but they will continue to grow over time, embodying the staying power of your love.

If you feel flowers are a must, though, there are still several hacks to trimming back on costs. Roughly 250 million roses are grown for Valentine’s Day each year, according to the Society of American Florists. Despite that enormous supply, they’re often sold at double their usual price for the big day.

Avoid the sting of premium rose prices by opting for an alternative bloom. Tulips, orchids, or even daffodils, are just as nice on the eyes (and are much easier on the wallet). Also, consider where you buy them. Boutique florists aren’t your only option.

The flower sections at grocers, hardware stores, or wholesalers usually have the best deals. For instance, last year, Sam’s Club offered pre-ordered a dozen European-cut roses for just $39.98.

When it comes to other gifts, steer clear of top-end jewelry, handbags, or other branded items and instead show your creative side by making a gift from scratch.

This could be a knitted scarf, a handmade soap, or a calendar filled with your couple’s photos. If money is a bit tight this year, invest a little time instead and make it meaningful.

If short on cash, another approach is to buy your lover a subscription or membership. This way, you can spread the cost over many months throughout the year rather than in a lump sum. If they are interested in baseball, for instance, consider gifting them a subscription to a sports magazine. This thoughtful and inexpensive gift could deliver them ongoing value.

High Hopes?

However you choose to spend your Valentine’s Day, it’s essential to check in with your partner first and ensure they are on board with your date’s direction. Psychologists warn that unmet expectations can sometimes do more harm than good.

“Valentine’s Day, with its commercialistic to-do list, can boomerang on lovers,” psychologist Dr. Diana Kirschner told the American Psychological Association.

“The advertising industry holds up an image of the perfect Valentine’s Day experience, with flowery cards, fancy chocolates, uber-romantic dinners, and, of course, a dozen red roses. All of which can be very difficult to create in real life… As a result, expectations are raised and often not met. Unmet expectations can have a negative impact on a love relationship.”

Recessions and romancing may not sound like natural partners, but with some savvy budgeting and creative activities, next year’s Valentine’s Day can be as memorable as any other. Who knows, finding the fun in frugality and making the most of the tougher economic times now may result in a more resilient relationship over the long run.

Follow along as the Vintage Theatre takes a journey through the life of Duke Ellington, objectively one of the best Jazz musicians to tickle the ivories. This retrospective is said to be stylish and brassy.

Beginning with his early days at the Cotton Club, the show pivots in Act II exploring Ellington through his own music. It’s described as a “high-stepping salute inspired by the glamorous nightlife and sensuous highlife of a man who lived to love.”

We got a good family building exercise here. Build your own tipi. Well, a miniature version of one. The Botanic Gardens is hosting a workshop at the Plains Conservation Center giving the opportunity to learn how the Ute, Cheyenne and homesteaders made their shelters by making your own tipt to take home with you.

This hands-on activity will offer guided instruction, as well as teaching about the prairie, the people that occupied it and the plants and animals that flourish in it.

The workshop is designed for families with children between the ages of 5-10 years old.

get to the moviehouse to check out a flick, and then wrap your day with some laps around the rink.

Aurora Public Schools Art Educators’ Exhibition at DAVA

Now through March 4, Monday-Friday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. 1419 Florence St. Aurora, CO 80010. Visit https://www.davarts.org/event/ aurora-public-schools-art-educators-exhibition/2022-01-28/ for more information.

The current exhibition on display at DAVA is featuring the art of Aurora Public School art teachers. It gives them an opportunity to showcase their own inspiration and skills outside of the classroom — allowing for room in invention and new ideas and processes.

Feb. 13 from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. 15051 E. Alameda Pkwy., Aurora, CO, 80012. Visit http://bit.ly/3DMiIF3 for more information.

Combat medicine holds prevalence just as much today as it did in the early aughts, the 90’s, 60’s, 50’s — you get the point. The COMBAT center at Anschutz still researches the specific study of medicine, and continues to improve the care of combat related injury.

On Feb. 13, the director of COMBAT, Col. Vik. Beberta, M.D., will discuss the department’s clinical and research work.

Certainly worth checking out if you have an interest in this specific field of medicine. Or if you’re curious to learn about something that you never even thought about, we present a good opportunity. You never know when it will come in handy on trivia night.

The Pond Ice Rink at Southlands Mall

Some of the educators within the district began their careers as interns with DAVA, one of which is Rangeview Art Educator Faith Williams Dyrsten who says the show is a “wonderful way to share so much of the creativity, expertise and passions from the APS art educators as skillful artists themselves.” Admission is free to the public.

You fancy the Classical period of music, yeah? Well, move over Beethoven. Ya know, Haydn and Schubert too, because this is a performance about Mozart by 11 Minute Theatre. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to be more specific. We don’t want to confuse him with Leopold — Wolfy’s old man. This play, which doesn’t shy away from a Classical period packed soundtrack, tells a fictional tale of Mozart and Salieri. The play was first performed in 1979 and won a Tony for Best Play in 1981.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

February 9, 2023

City of Aurora Community Development

Division 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy Aurora, CO. 80017 303-739-7921

This notice shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activi ties to be undertaken by the City of Aurora Community Development Div.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS

On or about February 27, 2023 the City of Aurora will submit a request to HUD for the release of HOME funds under the HOME Investment Partnership Program, as amended. This undertaking will be for Aurora Mental Health and the Housing Authority of the City of Aurora which has requested up to $1,000,000 in HOME and $1,000,000 in HOME ARP funding for the Potomac Apartment Project located at 1290 S. Potomac Street., Aurora, CO. 80012, and the total project cost will be up $25,000,000. A planned demolition of an existing building currently located at 1290 S. Potomac Street will proceed in the spring of 2023. These funds will be used for the development of 60 multifamily units which will provide affordable housing for future Aurora residents.

The activities proposed have required an Environmental Assessment under HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58 from Na tional Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environ mental determinations for this project is on file at the City of Aurora, Community Devel opment Division, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Aurora, Colorado, and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M to 5 P.M.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT

The City of Aurora has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the En vironmental Review Record (ERR) on file at City of Aurora, Community Development Division, 15151 E. Alameda Pkwy, Au rora, CO. and may be examined or copied weekdays 8 A.M to 5 P.M.

PUBLIC COMMENTS

Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to Alicia Montoya, City of Aurora, Com munity Development Division, 15151 E. Alameda, Aurora, Colorado, 80012; or amontoya@auroragov.org. For questions and additional information please contact Alicia Montoya at the above address or call 303-739-7900. All comments received by February 26, 2023 will be considered by

the City of Aurora prior to authorizing sub mission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION

The City of Aurora certifies to HUD that Rodney Milton in his capacity as Com munity Development Division Manager consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied.

HUD’s State’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and al lows the name of grant recipient to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO THE RELEASE OF FUNDS

HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the City of Aurora certifica tion for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the fol lowing bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Aurora; (b) the City of Aurora has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development pro cess have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Ob jections must be prepared and submitted via email in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be addressed to Noemi Ghirghi, CPD Region VIII Director, at CPD_COVID19OEE-DEN@hud.gov. Potential objec tors should contact CPD_COVID-19OEEDEN@hud.gov to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Alicia Montoya, Community Development Division Man ager

Note: The fifteen or eighteen-day public comment periods are the minimum time periods required by regulation prior to sub mission of a Request for Release of Funds and Certification (form HUD-7015.15) to HUD. The Responsible Entity may choose to allow a longer comment period. 24 CFR Part 58 requires, at Section 58.46, “Time delays for exceptional circumstances,” a 30-day comment period for controversial or unique projects or those similar to proj ects normally requiring the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. The fifteen-day objection period is a statutory requirement. The objection period follows the submission date specified in the No tice or the actual date of receipt by HUD, whichever is later.

BEFORE THE COLORADO GROUND WATER COMMISSION DETERMINATIONS OF WATER RIGHT

LOST CREEK AND KIOWA-BIJOU DESIGNATED GROUNDWATER BASINS AND LOST CREEK GROUND WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT - ARAPAHOE COUNTY

TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to section 37 90-107(7), C.R.S., and the Designated Ba sin Rules, 2 CCR 410-1, Bennett Heights LLC has applied for determinations of rights to allocations of designated ground water from the Laramie-Fox Hills, Lower Arapahoe, Upper Arapahoe and Denver aquifers underlying 392 acres generally described as two noncontiguous parcels described as follows: Area A containing 155 acres generally described as part of the NW 1/4 of Section 4, Township 4 South, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M.; and Area B containing 237 acres generally described as the S 1/2 of the NW 1/4 and the SW 1/4 of Section 9, Township 4 South, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M. The applicant claims ownership of this land and control of the groundwater in these aquifers underlying this property. The groundwater from these allocations is proposed to be used on the described property for the following benefi cial uses: domestic, commercial, industrial, irrigation, livestock watering, fire protec tion, recreation, and replacement, either directly or after storage.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7), the Colorado Ground Water Commis sion shall allocate groundwater from the above aquifers based on ownership of the overlying land. A preliminary evalu ation of the application finds the volume of water available for allocation from the aquifers underlying Area A of the abovedescribed property to be 3,140 acre feet for the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer; 1,580 acre-feet for the Lower Arapahoe aquifer; 2,900 acre-feet for the Upper Arapahoe aquifer; and 1,260 acre-feet for the notnontributary (4% replacement require ment) Area A1 portion and 2,560 acre-feet for not nontributary (actual impact replace ment requirement) Area A2 portion of the Denver aquifer. A preliminary evaluation of the application finds the volume of water available for allocation from the aquifers underlying Area B of the above-described property to be 5,150 acre feet for the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer; 3,020 acre-feet for the Lower Arapahoe aquifer; 3,630 acre-feet for the Upper Arapahoe aquifer; and 6,450 acre-feet for the Denver aquifer. These amounts are subject to final evalu ation, and subsequent to issuance of the determinations, adjustment to conform to the actual local aquifer characteristics.

In accordance with section 37-90-107(7) (a), well permits issued pursuant to sub section 107(7) shall allow withdrawals on the basis of an aquifer life of one hundred years.

In accordance with Rule 5.3.6 of the Des ignated Basin Rules preliminary evaluation of the application finds the replacement water requirement status for the aquifers underlying the above-described property to be nontributary for the Laramie Fox Hills aquifer, nontributary for the Lower Arapahoe aquifer, and nontributary for the Upper Arapahoe aquifer. The replace ment requirement for the Denver aquifer effectively divides Area A into two tracts: Area A1 containing 51 acres overlying not-nontributary (4% replacement require ment) water generally described as parts of the NW 1/4 NW 1/4, NE 1/4 NW 1/4, and SW 1/4 NW 1/4 of Section 4, Township 4 South, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M.; and Area A2 overlying not-nontributary (actual impact replacement requirement) water containing 104 acres generally described as parts of the NE 1/4 NW 1/4, SW 1/4 NW 1/4, and SE 1/4 NW 1/4 of Section 4, Township 4 South, Range 63 West of the 6th P.M.

Upon Commission approval of determina tions of rights to the allocations, well per mits for wells to withdraw the allocations shall be available upon application, subject to the conditions of each determination, the Designated Basin Rules, and approval by the Commission. Such wells must be com pleted in the aquifer for which the right was allocated and must be located on the 392 acres of above described property. Well permits for wells to withdraw groundwater from Area A2 overlying not-nontributary (actual impact replacement requirement) of the Denver aquifer would also be subject to the conditions of a replacement plan to be approved by the Commission.

Any person wishing to object to the approv al of these determinations of rights to allo cations must do so in writing, briefly stating the nature of the objection, the name of the applicant, a general description of the property, and the specific aquifers that are the subject of the objection. The objection, including a required $10 fee per application being objected to, must be received by the Colorado Ground Water Commission by close of business March 11, 2023. Objec tions should be sent via email to DWRper mitsonline@state.co.us, upon which the objector will be emailed an invoice for pay ing the fee online. If the objector is unable to provide the objection via email please contact 303 866 3581.

He said the Sentinel, like most news media, regularly get immediate feedback from police or school officials during the course of reporting on crime or education issues. He said such a latent report from a city council office rather than police, justice or school officials is unusual.

According to City of Aurora spokesperson Ryan Luby, Hinkley Assistant Vice Principal Emily Nickerson reached out to Coffman in late July and the two met shortly afterward. In September, an aide contacted the Sentinel on behalf of the mayor “to discuss The Sentinel’s release of names of the minors involved in the November 19, 2021 shooting incident at Hinkley High School.”

In December, when Nickerson, Coffman and Sentinel staff met Nickerson said she had reached out to the mayor to discuss her concerns over students’ names being published in the affidavit, which she said had “unintended consequences” at the school.

“We had a family that had to go into protective custody because they were named in the affidavits, and so this was just kind of the conversation I had had with the mayor around what are some next steps and things that we can do just to ensure that doesn’t happen again,” she said.

Nickerson, who took the meeting from her office on campus, said that she wasn’t speaking as a representative of APS but in her personal capacity.

“That was my concern as a community member that now we have several kids that have been named and we have to follow up with each of them individually, some of which require protective custody or have not returned to Hinkley … and they’re afraid of retaliation,” she said.

Looking into Nickerson’s claims has proved difficult as official sources have not been willing to comment about what happened.

“We take student privacy matters very seriously and would not share any information that may compromise that. Aurora Public Schools works to protect juvenile information in accordance with state and federal law,” APS spokesperson Corey Christiansen said in an email.

The district is not involved with Fields’ bill, he said.

The police department declined to comment on whether the incident has had a chilling

effect on minors being willing to speak with police.

“Publication of the names of juvenile witnesses in the media is a major public safety concern, opening them up to bullying, retaliation and additional acts of violence,” interim Aurora police Chief Art Acevedo said in a statement. “The Aurora Police Department supports efforts aimed at extending the same privacy rights to minors who witness a crime as are already guaranteed to criminal suspects in the state’s juvenile justice system.”

Nickerson did not respond to further inquiries from The Sentinel.

The 18th Judicial District Court did not respond to a question about why the affidavits were not redacted by the courts. It’s unclear how many copies of the affidavits were released, and to whom.

Under the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, records custodians have broad latitude to redact things in court documents that are deemed contrary to the public interest, said Jeff Roberts, the executive director of the Colorado Freedom of Information Coalition.

“There’s already the power in the law to do that,” he said of redacting juveniles’ identities. “This would say they must be redacted. I understand what the intent is, but I worry about making law based on one incident that perhaps was unintentional.”

He said that the coalition is unlikely to take a position on the bill, but wondered about the potential impacts to reporting in the case of a school shooting or other serious crime involving minors. Even if a newspaper did not publish the names of minors, knowing the identities of the parties involved could be important to reporting on a story.

The Society of Professional Journalists professional code of ethics stipulates that journalists should “use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects” and be cautious about naming juvenile suspects or victims.

At its Jan. 30 meeting, the Aurora City Council voted to endorse Fields’ bill. Speaking at a study session prior to the vote, Coffman argued that the release of juvenile names had a “chilling effect.”

The bill is next scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Feb. 13.
