Since Trump can’t hide his crazy, he’s enlisting Colorado Republicans to market it for 2024

I

DAVE PERRY Editor

f you hate Muslims, immigrants in general, economic stability, trans people, due process, science, government accountability, electric cars and NATO, you are going to love life in America if Donald Trump goes to the White House next year instead of prison.

If rounding up millions of people in “immigration raids” for immediate deportation, shooting shoplifters dead in the store, firing government workers who uphold the law, herding homeless people into massive tent cities, letting parents “elect” school principals and building massive warehouses for people his government deems “dangerously deranged” sounds like the country you’ve always been waiting for, Trump is your guy.

For those who’ve been there, seen that, in the Soviet Union and Europe in the 1940s, Trump is a recurring nightmare that’s just getting worse.

Coming off the heels of the 2023 election, few things are less compelling to me right now — and just about everyone — than the 2024 election.

But you need to be afraid. Trump himself is here to tell you that all of those crazy things that dozens of Republicans who worked with him keep saying about Trump being unhinged and being the incarnate definition of modern fascism, are alarmingly true.

A very wise woman, Maya Angelou, once remarked, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

So the guy who banned Muslims from entering the country, belittled war heroes and disabled people, lied so many tens of thousands of times that the New York Times pretty much lost count, provably lied about losing his bid for reelection and marshaled an insurrection into the Capitol and then watched it unfold — but wait, there’s more — and then after being evicted from the White House, stole cartons of dangerous classified documents to keep as mementos, he’s exactly who he tells you he is.

You don’t have to believe me, believe what he says himself.

As the leading GOP candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, he recently set out his plan for January 2025 — if he can keep from being sent to prison for treason or election fraud, conspiracy and obstruction, or stealing classified documents, or if the 14th Amendment barring him, as an insurrectionist, from running for president, doesn’t.

Here’s what Trump has in store for MAGA Daba Deux: The Revenge.

1. Using an executive order, he would reclassify thousands of government employees, like those in the FBI and Department of Justice that have held him accountable for breaking the law. He calls them “corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus.” By changing their employee status he could fire at will.

2. He would impose Travel Ban, Extra Strength, and not only restrict Muslim travel but also seek out Americans and residents who have “jihadist sympathies” — pro Muslims — and deport them.

His description of those he wants out of

the U.S. are, oddly, clear matches for the goons he deployed for the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and insurrection: “dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs.”

The Associated Press writes that Trump pledges at his rallies to impose “ideological screening” for all immigrants, thus detecting those who would seek to elevate Muslim theology to the level Christian theology across the country.

3. Trump said he would ask Congress to end transgender distinctions in the United States, imposing the gender indicated on a birth certificate for life, legally making crossdressers out of transgender citizens. Despite staunch backing from every reputable medical and pediatrician organization in the country, he would by fiat outlaw transgender treatments in hospitals and doctor offices.

4. Ignoring the already immediate consequences of global climate change, he would push the country to “DRILL, BABY, DRILL” and end electric car incentives and goals.

5. Even though he promises to close the Department of Education, he would try to impose “patriotic education” in the classroom, as well as push for prayer in public schools and promote “nuclear” families with lessons on “the roles of mothers and fathers” and the “things that make men and women different and unique.” (See Trump Pays Hush Money to Porn Actress Stormy Daniels) 6. As for solving the pesky crime thing, it would be the death penalty for drug dealers, soldiers on the streets of big cities, doing soldier-y things, and asking police to shoot dead suspected shoplifters.

Those are just a few highlights of the inner-workings of a guy who had to pay millions for sexually assaulting a strange woman in a dressing room, is facing all of his scummy shyster lawyers who are turning on him after being caught trying to rig a handful of presidential elections across the nation, and who keeps secret U.S. war documents in his Florida com-

pound potty.

These aren’t assessments by trusted and reliable news agencies — not nuts at FoxNews — this is all from footage from his own propaganda rallies and his own social media company.

And this guy, this certifiable, indicted criminal lunatic, is the top choice of polled Republicans, including leaders of the Colorado Republican Party.

Yup. Colorado GOP Party Chairman Dave Williams said in a tweet last week, “Colorado Republicans spoke loudly and clearly that President Trump is the frontrunner and the man to beat,” after a straw poll among state party faithful at a wingding in Centennial tabbed Trump the top choice. “The Party congratulates President Trump and looks forward to the grassroots America-First energy he will continue to bring to our base heading into 2024.”

Well, maybe not all of America is looking forward to that. In fact, not all Republicans are looking forward to that.

The remnants of Colorado Republican lucidity are in court in Denver right now in an effort to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot. They’re arguing that his leading the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and insurrection triggers the 14th Amendment clause against insurrectionists, making him ineligible for office.

Among the “RINOs” trying to persuade fellow Republicans that Trump is a criminal nutcase is far, far right Congressperson Ken Buck.

“Too many Republican leaders are lying to America, claiming that the 2020 election was stolen, describing Jan. 6 as an unguided tour of the Capitol and asserting that the ensuing prosecutions are a weaponization of our justice system,” he said. “These insidious narratives breed widespread cynicism and erode Americans’ confidence in the rule of law.”

And there you have it, folks, from the mouths of the far-right itself.

CPAN, ‘parental rights’ activists, present public danger with antimental-health campaigns

A

statewide group claiming to bolster the rights of parents in areas of education and government has crossed a dangerous line in the organization’s political zeal to impose its will in the public arena, especially regarding mental health programs.

The Colorado Parental Advocacy Network is a locally-based group of political activists that has become increasingly involved in public policy and elections in the metroplex, particularly the Cherry Creek schools district. The group is similar to a national movement of groups calling themselves Moms for Liberty, which lobbies state and local governments in an effort to impose far-right, and often erroneous, changes in school policies, curricula and instruction.

Until now, that’s been the case for CPAN, whose members have appeared at Cherry Creek schools board meetings and made endorsements in the most-recent school board election.

The group has recently targeted mental health crisis programs.

“We’re going to be talking about the evidence of real harm to children across the state under the guise of mental health,” Lori Gimelshteyn, executive director of Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, told participants in a social-media broadcast rally earlier this month,” Sentinel reporter Kristin Oh reported last week.

The group appears to be part of a national trend of far-right activists focused primarily on efforts to prevent public schools from offering equity and information to LGTBQ+ children and their families, and in particular, transgender children.

CPAN members, mirroring other far-right national extremists and activists, have attempted to force the school district to ban books and instructional materials from school libraries and classrooms it deems offensive or inappropriate. Most of these efforts are focused on policies and materials providing equity and respect toward children who are transgender, concerned about gender or sexuality, or come from families with LTBGQ+ parents or other family members.

National groups have also pushed back against history curricula surrounding the creation of the United States and its historical role in slavery.

Like Moms for Liberty, the group mistakenly insists that Cherry Creek schools, and other schools, usurp the rights of parents by forcing political philosophies on children without parental knowledge or consent.

It’s a lie, one that CPAN and similar groups use propaganda and disinformation to purport and support.

While the group has, until now, been a distraction to the school district as it works to address a wide-range of serious and pervasive educational challenges, the group is poised to become a very real threat to public health.

The Sentinel last week reported on a social-media based CPAN rally of sorts where group officials and participants worked to create fear and distrust of mental-health crisis lines, as well as suicide-prevention hotlines.

The group’s chief complaint is that the crisis lines, by design, take calls from anyone, including teenagers — considering self-harm or suicide — without parental consent.

Programs the group has targeted include the Colorado Crisis Services hotline and recent efforts by Cherry Creek to bolster mental-health services for students.

The CPAN group members are especially critical of suicide-prevention crisis lines offering support and resources to students distressed about their gender identity or sexuality, and they want school districts and other state agencies to refuse services to minors.

The demand is nothing more than a fraudulent political encroachment on public health and education that endangers lives.

In context, credible public health and pediatric officials have long been sounding the alarm about an extraordinary number of children suffering from a variety of mental-health maladies and anxieties. Some of these issues have been the result of or exacerbated by the isolation and disruption from the pandemic. Other causes include social media and a vast range of societal pressures, creating unique problems for children and young adults.

Suicide and suicide-attempt rates have grown alarmingly, including across Colorado, according to a wide range of credible sources.

While more research certainly needs to be conducted on best practices for crisis intervention, and especially ensuring long-term benefits, there is no proof that crisis lines do anything other than save lives by offering provably effective resources to children, or anyone, considering suicide.

The crisis of pediatric mental illness and suicide is so pervasive and alarming that experts from Children’s Hospital Colorado and others have repeatedly worked to draw attention the growing quandary.

“Fully a third of Colorado high school students say they consistently feel sad and hopeless, a key warning sign, and 17% admitted considering suicide,” Children’s Hospital Colorado experts say in an online effort to save lives by helping parents understand the problem. “Seven percent actually made an attempt. The numbers for LGBTQ-identified youth are triple that. And very often, kids who are struggling don’t go to parents first.”

The non-scientific, alarmist and disinformation-ridden efforts by CPAN and others to undermine critical state, regional and national suicide-prevention efforts creates real danger for all of Colorado.

School and state officials should work to call out this group’s fraudulent claims and politicized goals and ensure the school district and the state continue to expand critical mental-health offerings to all who need them.

If you or someone you know is thinking of suicide, call the national suicide hotline at 988. The Colorado Crisis Hotline is also available by texting “talk” to 38255.

Aurora’s red political wave

I

t’s the hope that kills you.

As a Palestinian American, after Oct. 23 the city council meeting , I renewed my belief that Aurora would finally have a majority progressive city council. With chants of “vote them out” and an energized Muslim base in the city, this belief didn’t seem farfetched.

After the Nov. 7 election results, however, it became clear that Aurora is far from becoming the city I and many others want it to be, jolting me back to reality.

In the wake of the decision by the City Council not to include the Palestinian people in their resolution pledging support to the people of Israel, the Palestinian community in Aurora felt alienated. This was not because we didn’t want the city council to support the people of Israel, but because we, too, wanted support.

This was just the latest installment of the systemic alienation of minorities in Aurora carried out by the majority conservative city council, which has been in power for a few years now. Despite Aurora’s immense minority population, roughly 45%, it’s becoming more and more evident that we don’t belong. We will never be true Aurorans to some in our community.

Following the election results on Tuesday, we will now see a city council composed of eight conservatives – including the mayor – and only three progressives. The demographics of the city council do not match the demographics of Aurora, a city flourishing with immigrants, progressives and minority populations.

The City Council of Aurora includes a mayor who is to the right of Trump on immigration and has council members whose main priority is to “crack down on crime,” a known racist dog whistle. So, we must pose the question to ourselves, why has this happened? Particularly when many other states and cities in the country have swung the other way, becoming more progressive, even in places where it wasn’t expected.

I believe it has happened for a couple of reasons. One, the amount of money pumped into this most recent election has been tremendous and heavily skewed toward conservative candidates. This played a part in what happened on Election Day, but there’s another reason. The left has struggled with energizing voters or getting them to care enough to vote.

To get people involved in local politics, you must meet them where they’re at and explain

to them the importance of why they need to vote, but unfortunately, there still hasn’t been any breakthrough in doing so here in Aurora.

This brings us to the subsequent question: How is this problem fixed?

While the future looks bleak in Aurora, with an almost certainty regarding the passage of more conservative and harmful legislation to suppress and alienate at-risk communities in this city, there is still a way forward. Coalitions of BIPOC, working-class and minority populations need to begin taking a foothold in this city to ensure our interests are being put first. So, we need to organize and persuade these populations that their votes matter, and that their voices will make a difference. To do so, we must be brave and honest with our neighbors, show them why this legislation harms them, and persuade them to begin organizing with us.

All of our struggles are connected. My freedom is contingent on your freedom, just as yours is on mine. When there is no justice for Elijah McClain, there is no justice for the Palestinian people.

When police forces here in the United States are trained by the Israeli police and military, it becomes clear why we need to stand in solidarity with one another. When our human dignity is taken from us, whether it be by the forceful removal of the unhoused from their camps or the Palestinians from their motherland, it becomes clear why we need to stand in solidarity with one another. When our police budgets are massively inflated, yet most of us are struggling to make ends meet, it becomes clear why we need to stand in solidarity with one another.

Aurora is a city that I love and have cherished my whole life. I do not want to see this city become a conservative dwelling ground; I want Aurora to serve the diversity it always tokenizes, instead of harming it. I want Aurora to become a haven for immigrants, a protector of cultures, and a safe place for all children: white, Black and brown.

The direction we’re heading in is dangerous, but my hope for what our city can become hasn’t gone away. We can become a model city for America, a beacon of the future, because of our composition, because of our culture, and because of the collective kindness present in this city.

Khalid Mhareb is an Aurora resident.

Without evidence, Colorado parental-rights activist group says suicide-prevention hotlines harm children FORMER JEFFCO DA EMPLOYEE GEORGE MUMMA ACCUSED HOTLINE WORKERS OF GROOMING CHILDREN

M

embers of a local parents advocacy group say it’s inappropriate for mental health crisis hotline workers to speak with children and offer treatment without parental consent or knowledge.

“We’re going to be talking about the evidence of real harm to children across the state under the guise of mental health,” Lori Gimelshteyn, executive director of Colorado Parent Advocacy Network, told particBY KRISTIN OH, Sentinel Staff Writer ipants in a social-media broadcast meeting earlier this month.

Despite acknowledging that mental health is a problem in the country, it’s one of many grievances Gimelshteyn made against the Colorado Crisis Services hotline during a Nov. 2 online discussion she hosted.

The group discussion was hosted on X, formerly known as Twitter, and the recording of the hour-long discussion is available online. As of Friday, more than 250 people have listened to the discourse.

The group moved into local politics recently by endorsing candidates for Cherry Creek schools board and taking positions on a variety of education issues, mirroring concerns and philosophies similar to Moms for Liberty and other parental-rights groups. Gimelshteyn has Supporters of Colorado repeatedly said that CPAN is not a political orParent Advocacy Network ganization, but it has often collaborated with Screen grab from the right-wing organizations such as Turning Point organization’s website USA and Libs of TikTok.

CPAN’s website states that they are a statewide organization, but members of the group, including Gimelshteyn, have focused complaints against Cherry Creek School District, which recently opened an expansive day facility to support students struggling with mental health.

Gimeslshteyn’s complaints against the statewide mental health crisis hotline ranged from staff qualifications to child safety. The Sentinel looked into those complaints.

What is the crisis hotline?

Colorado Crisis Services hotline is a free resource for people in need of mental health, substance use and emotional support. People can call or text the hotline, which is open 24/7, every day, according to the organization’s website.

The crisis hotline “immediately connects callers or texters who might be experiencing behavioral crisis with trained staff that are able to de-escalate, screen, triage or be able to refer people to other community based services than the call can provide,” said Marc Condojani, the director of adult treatment and recovery for the Behavioral Health Administration.

“We know that suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people between the ages of 10 to 24,” Condojani said. “We certainly encourage young people to reach out to family, friends, trusted adults when they’re struggling with their mental health, but sometimes young people might not feel comfortable or safe to do

so. So having an option to call or text with a trained supportive person gives the true lifeline.”

Colorado has the sixth-highest suicide rate among all states, about 22 deaths per 100,000 people each year. Teen suicide rates mirror that assessment, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and other sources.

The hotline workers who respond to texts and calls are trained in crisis management, according to their website. People who contact the hotline have the option of speaking with a trained professional or a peer specialist.

Stefany Busch, spokesperson for the state’s Behavioral Health Administration, the agency in charge of the crisis hotline, said that the people who work on the hotlines are paid employees.

However, she did not immediately respond to the Sentinel’s question about hotline employee qualifications Friday afternoon.

Similar organizations like the Rocky Mountain Crisis Partnerships, require employees to have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, clinical social work or other related fields.

While suicide-prevention hotlines have a long history in the United States and other countries, a 2020 National Institue of Health study of 30 studies calls for more analysis. It stipulates, however, that most of the studies show immediate benefit from crisis-line intervention.

Robin Niceta found guilty of fabricating child sex abuse allegation against Aurora council member The ex-girlfriend of Aurora’s ex-police chief left an Arapahoe County courtroom in handcuffs Tuesday after being found guilty of framing an Aurora City Council member for child sex abuse.

It took a jury just over an hour to return their verdict that Robin Niceta was guilty of attempting to influence a public servant — a fourth-de-

gree felony, punishable by a prison term of two to six years and a fine of between $2,000 and $500,000 — and making a false report of child abuse — a third-degree misdemeanor, associated with up to six months’ imprisonment and a fine of $50 to $750.

Niceta’s sentencing was set for Jan. 19. She was taken into custody

by Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office deputies after Denver Judge Eric Elliff replaced her personal recognizance bond with a $10,000 cash surety property bond.

Prosecutors made the case that Niceta called an Arapahoe County hotline in January 2022 to falsely accuse Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky of molesting her own son as a way of punishing Jurinsky for criticizing then-police chief Vanessa Wilson on a talk radio show. Niceta and Wilson were in an intimate relationship at the time.

Niceta’s attorney insisted Wilson contacted the hotline herself using Niceta’s phone but called no witnesses and presented no evidence to support this claim.

After court was adjourned, one juror, Laurent Kingston, embraced Jurinsky in the hallway outside of the courtroom. Kingston told journalists that jurors did not struggle to reach a verdict and were strongly convinced by digital forensic evidence presented Tuesday.

“It’s pretty obvious. Especially with the unanimous vote, everybody was kind of on the same page,” he said. “That was pretty villainous.

That was bad.”

Jurinsky said the guilty verdict was “a long time coming” and marked the end of an ordeal that she described as “nerve-wracking.”

“It gives me peace, because after the sentencing on Jan. 19, I believe that she will be in jail. And then, at that point, I will at least know that she is in jail and not up to her usual antics,” Jurinsky said.

“I’ve known she was guilty since Day One, and she was faking the brain tumor, and everything that’s gone along with it. The woman is an absolute liar. And I’ve known from Day One that she was guilty. So this is amazing. I feel amazing.”

Jurinsky won a $3 million default judgment against Niceta in December in a libel case stemming from the same hotline call.

Prosecutors called additional witnesses on Tuesday to bolster their case that Niceta wanted revenge against Jurinsky and took steps to cover her tracks both before and after the crime.

Michael Garnsey, an Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office investigator, testified about digital evidence recovered from Niceta’s cell phones and laptop that pointed to her placing the call to the county’s child abuse hotline on Jan. 28, 2022, one day after Jurinsky went on a radio show to criticize Wilson.

Messages recovered from Niceta’s personal cell phone indicate Wilson complained to Niceta on Jan. 27 about Jurinsky’s radio appearance. Niceta was employed at that time by the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services as a caseworker specializing in the investigation of child sexual abuse

cases.

On the Jan. 28, minutes before the hotline call, Niceta’s county-issued laptop was used to look up information online about Jurinsky and a sports bar, JJ’s Place, which Jurinsky owns. The hotline caller claimed to be an employee of JJ’s Place.

The same computer and Niceta’s county cell phone were also used to look up information about the state’s child abuse hotline, including Bing searches such as, “does the child abuse hotline keep phone numbers in colorado.”

At 5:07 p.m., phone records obtained from T-Mobile indicate Niceta’s personal cell phone was used to contact the Colorado Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline, which forwarded the call to Arapahoe County’s child abuse hotline.

The caller tried to block their caller ID by dialing “star-six-seven” beforehand, which did not prevent T-Mobile from recording information about the call.

During the phone call, Niceta received text messages from Wilson, which prosecutor Daniel Cohen pointed to along with other messages to discredit defense attorney Frank Moya’s assertion that Wilson made the call herself.

Prosecutors also described an alleged plot by Niceta and her mother, Janice Dudley, to convince the court that Niceta was suffering from a brain tumor, with her defense attorneys arguing earlier this year that Niceta was too sick to travel for court appearances to Colorado from New Mexico, where her parents live.

The attorneys withdrew from her case once the authenticity of medical records describing Niceta’s cancer diagnosis were called into question.

One of those attorneys, Marci LaBranche, testified as a prosecution witness Tuesday. LaBranche confirmed that attorneys received medical records supposedly sent from a cancer clinic, New Mexico Oncology, and said she talked with a man who identified himself as Niceta’s doctor, “C. Marquez.”

Returning to the stand after testifying about his investigation into the hotline call Monday, Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office deputy Johnnie Turnidge said he helped investigate Niceta’s brain cancer claims and discovered that New Mexico Oncology did not exist, its business address was invalid and there was no doctor named “C. Marquez” licensed to practice medicine in the United States.

He also said brain scans included in Niceta’s medical records were identical to publicly-available internet images of a glioblastoma tumor that date back at least as far as 2010.

Niceta and Dudley were indicted in July for their roles in the brain cancer scheme. The next court hearing in that case is scheduled to take place Dec. 1.

Summing up the evidence for the jury, Staub again described the hotline call as an act of vengeance and said Niceta would have known the harm the false allegation would ›› See METRO, 7

cause from her experience as a caseworker.

“Robin Niceta knew how to get back at Danielle Jurinsky. She knew how to make her life miserable,” Staub said. “She went far too far, and her act of retaliation broke not one but two laws.”

Moya insisted in his closing remarks that prosecutors had presented nothing beyond circumstantial evidence that Niceta made the call herself, saying it was a “real possibility” that Wilson called the hotline instead.

“What evidence do you have that it was (Niceta) who was on the phone, that it was her voice that was on the recording? Well, you have one witness, basically,” Moya said.

“If it were true, you would have had a parade of people coming in here, saying, ‘Yes, that was Robin Niceta’s voice.’ But instead you had one and only one. She knew better than to make a call like that.”

Niceta did not appear to react as the verdict was read, while Jurinsky clasped her hands in front of her face. Tuesday was the second and final day of the trial, which took place at the Arapahoe County Justice Center in Centennial.

SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION

Cherry Creek schools sees steady growth in career-oriented classes More students at Cherry Creek School District are enrolling in career and technical education classes.

Career and technical education classes provide “students with the academic, technical, and real world knowledge, skills, and experience they need to be prepared for a variety of career options,” according to the district website.

During a board of education meeting Monday, directors heard a report stating that there were more than 23,000 enrolled career-oriented seats in classrooms in middle and high schools last year. It increased from 2021, when the district saw 18,747 enrolled seats.

According to the report, there are 82 career-oriented programs in district schools.

One of the growing programs offered to students is the Future Educator Pathway. Students in 11th and 12th grades attend hybrid-model classes and have on-the-job training as paid district employees, similar to teacher-assistants and classroom aids, according to the program’s website.

During the 2019-20 school year, there were a total of 12 students enrolled in this program. By the 202223 school year, 39 students were in the program.

1 year after shooting, Aurora police ask for leads in finding man’s killer One year after an Aurora man was shot dead outside his apartment, police are asking the public for help in finding the man’s killer.

Police said they were called to apartments in the 900 block of South Crystal Way at about 3 a.m.

Nov. 12 after reports of a shooting.

“When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man lying on the sidewalk with an apparent gunshot wound,” police spokesperson Joe Moylan said in a statement.

“The man was pronounced dead at the scene.”

The man was later identified as Jared Chavez, 41, who lived at the apartment complex.

“The preliminary investigation revealed the shooting stemmed from an argument between Chavez and an unknown suspect,” Moylan said.

Investigators “have exhausted all leads in the investigation and are asking for the public’s help” for leads into the case, Moylan said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Raines at 303-739-6068.

In addition, police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-9137867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000, police said.

Man who shot Aurora Waffle House cook in 2020 over mask mandate gets 13 years The man who was refused service at an Aurora Waffle House for refusing to comply with COVID-19 mask rules and then returned a day later to shoot a cook in the stomach has been sentenced to 13 years imprisonment.

Kelvin Watson, 30, entered the Waffle House restaurant at 12880 E. Mississippi Ave. without a mask at around midnight on May 14, 2020.

He was told he needed to wear a mask for staff to serve him due to COVID-19 mandates. He left and returned with a mask but refused to wear it.

When he was told again to leave, according to a waitress, Watson pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot the restaurant’s cook. He ultimately left the restaurant, and the incident was reported to police that morning.

About a day later, police were dispatched to a shooting at the same Waffle House and discovered the cook who Watson had threatened had been shot in the stomach.

The cook, who survived the shooting, identified Watson as the shooter, and the wait staff said Watson was a “regular” at the restaurant.

Watson pleaded guilty this month to attempted second-degree

murder, a Class 3 felony, as well as a sentence enhancer for committing a violent crime with a weapon. He was sentenced by Arapahoe County District Court Judge Jacob Edson.

Once released from prison, Watson will spend three years on mandatory parole.

“While restaurants and stores are public places, businesses have the right to refuse service or ask customers to leave their establishment,” 18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner said in a news release. “The defendant drove back to the restaurant and shot an innocent employee for no reason other than doing his job.”

Gimelshteyn expressed various concerns about the hotline workers. One of her concerns was about their weeks-long training, comparing it to the 6-year long training and education she went through to become a speech pathologist.

The crisis specialists are trained to respond to people of all age groups. Some of the topics they are trained in include: substance use, self harm, crisis counseling and interventions.

Crisis hotline workers are mandatory reporters and “follow mandatory reporting policy and procedure.” However, hotline workers may not have enough information to report suspected child abuse and neglect because people who use the hotline are not required to provide identifying information.

The hotline workers are also supervised in individual and group settings in accordance with the American Association of Suicidology accreditation requirements.

Gimelshteyn also complained that the hotline workers have an obligation to inform parents about their child’s mental health treatment. Condojani said the hotline is not considered mental health treatment, but is “a supportive service.”

“It’s clearly not meant to provide treatment or do diagnosis or

testing or formal assessment, or counseling for callers and texters,” Condojani said. He added that if additional support is needed, then the hotline workers will offer referrals to other services.

Posing as a child During the online discussion, Gimelshteyn stated that one time she texted the hotline while posing as a 9-year-old girl, “Hailey,” who was wondering if she was transgender.

“Hailey” told the hotline worker that she didn’t want her parents to know about her concerns.

She said that the hotline worker reassured her that the conversation would be confidential and asked if she was thinking about hurting herself, to which “Hailey” responded she was not. The hotline worker then sent her links to resources such as the Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization focused on suicide prevention in the LGBTQ community. They also provide resources on mental health, gender identity and sexual orientation.

Gimelshteyn made a montage of screenshots of the text conversation between “Hailey” and the hotline worker and posted it on Facebook and X in late October.

Another complaint Gimelshteyn had about the hotline was that the crisis specialist asked for “Hailey’s” name, date of birth, pronoun and

zip code. She said it was “highly personal information” and she said that “children should never give out their personal identifying information without their parents permission.”

Condojani said that the people who call or text the hotline are not required to give out that information in order to use the service.

He added that specialists ask for that information “so that they can respond appropriately. There’s going to be a different response if they know they’re talking to someone who’s 10-years-old versus someone who’s 30-years-old.”

Condojani also explained that knowing “roughly where [someone’s] location is can be helpful” in case they need to escalate the situation and contact emergency medical services.

Between June and August, the crisis hotline reportedly received over 10,000 calls and 3,000 texts.

People who self-identified as being under 12-years-old made up 1% of calls and 4% of texts. People who said they were between the ages of 13-17 made up 4% of calls and 14% of texts.

Busch said the data only represents those who chose to provide identifying information to the hotline workers.

Child Safety One of the guest speakers invited to “speak” at the social-media event was George Mumma.

According to his LinkedIn account, Mumma has worked at the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office for 22 years and served as the Morrison Police Department Chief for two years.

According to Brionna Boatright, spokesperson for the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, Mumma’s “primary assignment involved working with the Jefferson County Juvenile Assessment Center, focusing on juveniles accused of committing crimes and addressing safety issues in local schools.”

While he was not a part of the Crimes Against Children Unit during his tenure at the DA’s office, he assisted in investigations targeting adults that solicited children online for sexual purposes.

Mumma accused hotline workers of grooming children.

He claimed that the hotline workers are “posing as a trusted adult, the same thing that was going on during [his] sex crimes investigation. So what they’re doing is leading this child down a road without parental involvement, which is the same thing we saw in the sex crimes field.”

Condojani said that while parents should be vigilant about what their children are doing online, he would feel comfortable if his children contacted the hotline.

“I certainly hope and pray that if [my children] are struggling with anything that they feel comfortable and safe bringing it to me

or my wife and asking for help.

And if not us, a safe adult that they do know in their life, whether that’s a teacher or a coach or somebody else. But if they didn’t, for some reason…I would feel very safe as a parent with [the crisis hotline] if my kid had to use it,” he said.

Legislative session During the second half of the online discussion, Carolyn Martin, director of government relations for Christian Home Educators of Colorado, spoke about potential state legislature bills that “undermine parent’s rights.”

Martin spoke about 12 bills, 3 of which she says are proposed for the 2024 legislative session, as examples of the government undermining parent’s rights.

Some of the measures, already passed law, are: HB19-1032, which adds content requirements for public schools that offer comprehensive human sexuality education; HB19-1129, which prohibits a mental health care provider from engaging in conversation therapy with a minor; and SB23-296, which requires public schools to accept formal reports of harassment and discrimination and adopt procedures to investigate those reports.

Colorado lawmakers will convene in January 2024 for the next legislative session.

AURORA VOTES 2023: DEMOCRATS DWINDLE ON CITY COUNCIL AS COFFMAN LOCKS IN SECOND TERM

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

D

emocrat Juan Marcano last week conceded the race for Aurora mayor to incumbent Republican Mike Coffman, joining the majority of this year’s progressive city council slate in defeat.

Nov. 7 was a banner day for Aurora Republicans, who cheered Colorado voters’ rejection of Proposition HH, and a bleak one for Democrats, who now risk becoming further marginalized on the council, as their minority shrinks from four seats on the legislative body to three.

Aurora’s City Council includes four at-large council seats, six ward seats associated with each of the city’s six geographic divisions and one mayor elected by the entire city. This year, two at-large seats, three ward seats and the mayorship were up for grabs.

Four current council members are on track to be re-elected, including Republicans Francoise Bergan and Curtis Gardner, filling the Ward VI seat and an at-large seat respectively; unaffiliated conservative Angela Lawson, representing Ward V; and Democrat Alison Coombs, who won the other at-large seat.

Marcano’s Ward IV council seat is set to be filled by incoming Republican Stephanie Hancock, while Coffman earned himself another four-year term.

The new majority will provide security as well as some additional powers to Republicans.

A supermajority of seven council members and

the mayor acting in concert can act unilaterally in ways that a simple majority can’t, such as by dismissing members of the Aurora Civil Service Commission or moving the city’s planning and annexation boundaries.

As for the four ballot questions that the city council sent to voters, Ballot Question 3A, sponsored by Coombs, is also failing, meaning instances of gendered language in the Aurora City Charter will likely be preserved. Meanwhile, 3B, 3C and 3D, which propose various modifications to police and fire personnel rules, are on track to pass.

The three counties overlapping Aurora were mostly done counting ballots as of Thursday evening. Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez said in a social media post Thursday afternoon that all ballots received by her office have been counted, not including a “small number” of duplicated ballots. Turnout among Aurora voters in Arapahoe County has been pegged at about 37.2%.

The Adams County Clerk and Recorder’s Office posted on social media Thursday morning that it has counted all ballots received by the close of Election Day. Douglas County spokesperson Wendy Holmes also said Thursday that the county had about 1,000 ballots on hand left to count by the end of the day Wednesday, which would not be enough to change the outcome of any contest.

Counties have until Nov. 15 to count ballots

cast by overseas voters and those serving in the U.S. military. Voters also have until the 15th to “cure” ballots with missing signatures and other discrepancies.

Blues seeing red Aurora’s step toward conservatism means the council will likely double down on work-first and sweep-based approaches to reducing homelessness, punitive strategies for discouraging crime, and tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks designed to benefit businesses.

Mike Coffman has said his priorities for his second term as mayor will include improving public safety by investing in the city’s police department and continuing to support tougher criminal penalties. He has also spoken about wanting to encourage the development of affordable housing, particularly in lower-income neighborhoods.

Before becoming mayor in 2019, Coffman served in the U.S. House of Representatives and as Colorado’s secretary of state and treasurer.

He previously founded a property management company in Aurora and is a veteran of the U.S. Army and Marine Corps.

The mayor could not be reached for comment Thursday. Coffman claimed about 52.6% of the vote between the three counties, while Juan Marcano received 40.6% and outsider Democrat Jeff Sanford took home 6.9%.

ELECTION

Marcano conceded once Arapahoe County released results shortly after 4 p.m. that showed Coffman continuing to lead by several thousand votes. By Thursday evening, all but one Democrat had announced the conclusion of their campaigns, with Jon Gray in Ward IV saying he would wait to speak with his campaign manager. Gray conceded the next day.

Marcano emerged as a prominent progressive voice on the council following his election in 2019, often coming into conflict with conservatives over social issues and the council’s spending priorities.

The architectural designer and child of Puerto Rican immigrants advocated for housing-first policies to address homeless camping along with nonprofit housing development and alternatives to traditional policing and jail time for criminals.

After conceding, Marcano said he was “pessimistic” about the new council and the ability of the majority to tackle problems facing the city.

“I think housing is going to continue to be a struggle for folks, and obviously wages are going to remain far below where they ought to be,” he said. “There’s going to be more folks out on the streets. The solutions that Coffman and the Republican majority ran on, including the folks who are about to get elected here, are completely ineffective.”

When asked why voters have rejected all but one progressive candidate this year, Marcano and other Democrats brought up the spending gap — conservative candidates spent about 1.8 times as much as the Democrats who appeared on the ballot, and conservative dark money groups spent several hundred thousand dollars more than their progressive counterparts.

“It’s so expensive to get the message out there. I didn’t do it. I couldn’t do it,” said Ward VI candidate Brian Matise, who invested $80,000 of his own money into his campaign. “How do you respond to all of the lies? They’re saying I’m soft on crime, and there were accusations that I’m a socialist, which are absurd. I was a Republican most of my life.”

Marcano also blamed the incumbent advantage held by most of the Republican candidates for Democrats’ struggles. Marcano and Ward V candidate Chris Rhodes both said the local Democratic Party will need to evaluate what may drive progressive Aurorans to the polls before the next council election in 2025.

“Republicans have figured out that they can just keep fearmongering on crime, and that turns their people out. But we haven’t figured out what turns out our people. We need to figure out what Democratic voters actually care about so they show up and vote,” Rhodes said.

Coombs’ re-election was the one bright spot for Democrats emerging from this electoral cycle — she traded her Ward V seat for an at-large seat and had claimed more votes than any other candidate with the exception of Coffman as of Thursday evening.

When asked what role a diminished progressive minority might play on the council, Coombs said she, Ruben Medina and Crystal Murillo will continue to advocate for policies that have community support and try to find common ground with Republicans.

She was also hopeful that her conservative colleagues would take the faith placed in her by voters seriously.

“I hope that (Coffman) will see that as a clear statement from folks that they do want him and the Republicans to work across the aisle,” Coombs said. “I really hope to see some change from my colleagues in terms of the outright rejection and shutting down of discussion around issues.”

Republicans say theirs was the winning message For Republicans, the latest election was a sign that Aurora voters trust the council’s current conservative leadership and their approach to social issues such as public safety and homelessness.

Curtis Gardner, who beat out Democrat Thomas Mayes and fellow Republican Jono Scott for an at-large seat, said the vast majority of voters who he spoke with during his campaign expressed concern about crime.

“Especially in central Aurora, I remember we were in a neighborhood around Chambers (Road) and Mexico (Drive), and, I mean, every door we knocked on they talked about how they heard gunshots at night, and their cars were getting broken into,” Gardner said.

“I think most people want the same things. They want safe schools, and they want to feel safe when they go to church, or when they go to work. … For me and some of the other candidates, the focus was really on public safety. Certainly, both sides worked hard. But that difference in the messaging probably won out.”

Yard signs for Coffman advertised the mayor as “tough on crime,” and other conservative candidates also ran on platforms that included tougher penalties for criminals as part of their approach to public safety.

While Scott ultimately fell to Coombs and Gardner, he too believed Republicans’ emphasis on protecting residents from criminals brought voters to the polls.

“I knocked on, I would venture to say, thousands of doors. And that was the number one issue at the door. People don’t feel safe. And I think they feel that conservatives can handle that better,” Scott said.

Stephanie Hancock bounced back to lead the Ward IV race this year after campaigning unsuccessfully in 2022 for the seat in the Colorado House of Representatives held by Democrat Iman Jodeh.

As the only new face on the council, Hancock brings a background in Aurora’s business and arts communities as the co-founder of 5280 Artist Co-Op and president of the Aurora Cultural Arts District.

She is also a U.S. Air Force veteran and a graduate of Texas Southern University.

Her campaign platform included tackling crime by forcing more criminals to pay restitution and by offering job training and mentorship opportunities to Aurora youth.

She also expressed interest in reducing street homelessness as well as addressing housing affordability through economic development and advocating for reform of the state’s construction defect laws.

Hancock said members of the public shared concerns with her about the problems of homelessness and crime “moving” from Denver to Aurora, though she credited her own victory to having honest conversations with voters and letting people know that she plans on representing constituents regardless of their political background.

“When people get away from the partisan politics of these things, and look at the bread and butter issues that we face, it’s common across the board,” she said.

“I’m very gratified by the fact that I had support from Republicans, Democrats and unaffiliateds, which tells me that people want to see real change happen in our city.

And I want to earn their trust by doing exactly what I said, which is to attack the issues that face our beloved city.”

What they said:

Thomas Mayes, D — At-Large “I’m feeling great. I plan to continue doing the work, I just won’t get paid for it, I guess. It is what it is. I’m excited the campaigning part of it is over, and we’ve got some challenging days ahead of us. That’s basically my mindset now: where do we go from here? … I think we ran well. I tried to run a very clean race, without mudslinging, and I’ve seen a lot of that being done.

And that’s unfortunate, but that’s politics.”

Jono Scott, R — At-Large Mike Coffman, R —Mayor Coffman did not respond to requests for comment.

Juan Marcano, D — Mayor “I’m very happy with the race I ran. I ran authentically as myself, I had a phenomenal campaign manager, and I’m very proud of how much I was able to raise as a grassroots candidate. It’s just that, with the fundraising past a certain point, you can’t really compete. But I am thrilled that Alison Coombs not only won citywide with record votes but won as the first LGBTQ woman on our council and as a democratic socialist like me. I love to see it. I think that at least bodes well overall for the future of the city.”

“We ran a hard race with a lot of good support and came up short. … It was close.

I mean, all four of us candidates are within 7%. That’s a close race. And my hat goes off to Alison and Curtis for running a great campaign. I’ll also say that I met Thomas Mayes, and I gained a friend through that.

I enjoyed the process. And I hate to lose, but I’m not bitter about it. I’d do it again, even if I knew the result.”

Jeff Sanford, D — Mayor “I don’t have any regrets, other than I didn’t win, but I don’t look at it as I didn’t win. The electorate picked who they thought would do the best for the city. And he just happened to be an incumbent. … I wish we could bring down the temperature on politics and work more toward what’s best for the city. I know that’s very idealistic, and I knew it was when I went in. I stood for not raising campaign funds or spending them. That was a strategic error on my part, but I wouldn’t do anything differently.”

Jon Gray, D — Ward IV “Running this campaign was a labor of love in partnership with my wonderful family, dedicated volunteers, Democratic slate teammates and the community I hold dear.

Although this race might be over, our work in Aurora is not. I will carry every conversation with Ward IV residents as inspiration as I continue the work to make Aurora a thriving city for all and continue to fight for equitable public safety programs, fully-funded community care for our youth and economic justice for all Aurorans.”

Stephanie Hancock, R — Ward IV “I’m doing great. And I’m ready to get going. It was a hard race. We worked hard.

We knocked on a lot of doors, and we talked to a lot of people. … I want to let people know how much I appreciate their support and their faith in me, and that I intend to earn it right from Day One.”

Alison Coombs, D — At-Large “I’m certainly glad that I was able to get my message out to folks and that they support me continuing to serve the city in more of a citywide capacity. … I think I had the benefit of having the support of my existing constituents, who I’ve been responsive and supportive to. But I also have built a lot of relationships with folks across the city in all six wards. It’s a lot easier to stave off personal attacks when people know you personally.”

Curtis Gardner, R — At-Large “I felt pretty confident going into Election Day. And being an incumbent certainly has an advantage. But you still have to run your race. And we were able to knock on tons of doors, thousands of doors, and that was in addition to outreach through all of the other stuff, like mailings and digital ads. … By and large, most people want the same things.”

Angela Lawson, R — Ward V Lawson did not respond to requests.

Chris Rhodes, D — Ward V “I’m obviously disappointed. Kind of all the emotions: confused, sad, angry. … We really need to start gearing up for 2025 if we’re serious about taking the city majority. We can’t put it off until the last minute and all of that stuff like we typically do. We need to start focusing on who we’re going to run in 2025 and getting them support.

That’s kind of where my head is at now.”

Francoise Bergan, R — Ward VI Bergan did not respond to requests for comment.

Brian Matise, D — Ward VI “The voters spoke. I lost. I’ve congratulated Francoise. … I think the voters in Ward VI, and I would agree with this, believe that my opponent Francoise Bergan’s responsiveness to them was an important factor.

Aurora Vote 2023: 4 Aurora ballot questions to be decided by voters Four ballot questions were sent to voters

by Aurora’s City Council this fall, including a proposal to remove gendered language from the city’s charter, which was failing Tuesday night, as well as proposed changes to police and fire personnel rules, all of which were on track to pass.

Question 3A: Scrubbing gendered language from the city charter As of Nov. 13, Ballot Question 3A was losing, with just 41.5% of voters among Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas counties showing support.

The measure would rewrite sections of

Honest Journalism #NoPayWallHere

sentinelcolorado.com

Aurora’s City Charter that refer to city officials and employees using gender-specific language, removing personal pronouns and substituting in gender-neutral nouns.

Councilmember Alison Coombs sponsored this amendment, which the council voted unanimously to send to voters after conservatives objected to an earlier version that would have used the pronouns “they” and “them” to refer to individuals.

Currently, while some sections of the charter refer to officials and employees using phrases such as “he or she,” other sections use language that assumes those individuals are men.

The measure identifies more than two dozen examples of gendered language in the charter and also permits the city attorney to “make additional changes to the City Charter that are not substantive and that comply with the principals and goals of this ordinance if additional specific instances of gender specific language are identified.”

Question 3B: Letting the chief of police bypass officers for promotions and tweaking police and firefighter probationary periods About 60.4% of voters expressed support for Ballot Question 3B by Nov. 13. This item would grant the police chief the ability to pass over candidates for promotions “for a specific reason, without consideration of any legally-protected characteristics,” while allowing candidates to appeal that decision to the Aurora Civil Service Commission.

The proposed change — which along with 3C and 3D is endorsed by the Aurora Police Department — comes after officer Nate Meier was automatically promoted to the rank of agent just a few years after he was found passed out drunk in his police vehicle.

When asked in June whether he believed the change could encourage favoritism or exclude certain officers from command positions, interim police chief Art Acevedo said promotions beyond the rank of captain are already made at the chief’s discretion and that he thought it would give the chief the ability to respond more effectively to misconduct.

The measure would also clarify in the charter that the probationary period for new police officers and firefighters can be extended if an officer or firefighter spends more than four weeks on leave or restricted duty.

Currently, when a new officer or firefighter completes their academy training, they are employed on a probationary basis for one year, during which time their performance is evaluated and they can be fired by their respective chief without being able to appeal that firing to the Aurora Civil Service Commission.

At the end of the probationary period, if the officer or firefighter’s performance is found to be satisfactory, they are hired on a permanent basis and exit probation. If not, they are fired.

The charter amendment would clarify that the probationary period for an officer or firefighter who spends more than four weeks either on leave or on restricted duty “such that a full performance of the conduct and capacity of the employee could not be fully evaluated” is to be extended by an equivalent amount of time, to give their agency the time to evaluate them fully.

Question 3C: Expanding opportunities for police and fire candidates from other agencies Ballot Question 3C was also on track to pass, with a healthy 67.7% of voters expressing support. 3C would give the Aurora Police Department and Aurora Fire Rescue more leeway to consider candidates with experience working at other agencies for job offers and promotions.

Aurora’s City Charter currently stipulates that no more than half of the list of candidates offered police and firefighter jobs at any one time can be so-called lateral candidates.

Also, when someone with prior law enforcement experience is hired to serve as a police officer, they are not credited for their past service when waiting to become eligible for promotion to the rank of sergeant.

The measure would remove the limit on the number of lateral candidates who could be hired at once and also credit cops for up to two years of service at another police agency, reducing the waiting time to be considered for the sergeant rank from five years to as little as three.

These changes come as Aurora police specifically have struggled to maintain staffing levels and recruit new officers.

Question 3D: Formalizing appointment rules for police leadership and pegging size of command staff to population Ballot Question 3D was also on track to pass, with 69.6% of voters casting ballots in favor.

This measure would codify the current practice that police ranks higher than captain — including the ranks of deputy chief, division chief and commander — are granted by the chief, and officers in those positions may be demoted to the rank of captain without having recourse to Aurora’s Civil Service Commission.

It would also tie the maximum number of command staff positions to the total authorized size of Aurora’s police force, which is itself pegged to the city’s population, as legal agreements with the Aurora Police Association require that the city field two officers per every 1,000 residents.

Despite this, Aurora’s City Charter specifies that Aurora police may have no more than four commanders and four division chiefs. The measure would instead establish that no more than 1.5% of officers may be ranked as commanders and no more than 0.5% may be ranked as division chiefs.

It also specifically allows the chief to add another deputy chief position with the city manager’s approval when the department’s authorized sworn strength reaches at least 800 members and then again at 1,500 members.

Aurora police employed 633 sworn officers in September 2023, with another nine in field training and 46 in the academy, according to information shared with the city’s Public Safety, Courts and Civil Service Policy Committee.

LOCAL OSAGES REACT TO ‘KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON’

BY EMMA VANDENEINDE, KUNC

T

he movie adaptation of David Grann’s book, Killers of the Flower Moon, premiered a few weeks ago, highlighting the Reign of Terror – the mass murder of the Osage tribe members for oil money in Oklahoma during the 1920s. It also portrays the systemic practice of white men manipulating Indigenous women into marriage, only to kill them and take their wealth.

Many Colorado Osages gathered to watch the movie, and while most are happy about its existence, they have some mixed reviews.

The Colorado Osages Facebook group was one of the groups that gathered to see a premiere of the movie on opening night.

Natasha Lovato was impressed with how Director Martin Scorsese reflected Osage culture in the movie. Not only did he choose to film in Oklahoma, but he met with tribal members to ensure cultural accuracy – from the clothing to the language.

“It was really crazy seeing Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio speaking Osage,” said Lovato, an Osage tribal affiliate. “I think anyone walking out of it was speechless…you know, how often do you see a movie with a native language being spoken like that?”

During the making of the movie, Scorsese met with Geoffrey Standing Bear, the principal chief of the Osage tribe, to check all of those cultural details. Standing Bear was initially unsure if the film was just going to be another Hollywood film about Indigenous people, but he was impressed.

“We were just so on guard because of stereotypes, other people telling our story and we wanted to tell our story through them, through Hollywood,” Standing Bear said. “I believe watching it being filmed, meeting regularly with the producers and Marty (Scorsese), that they did everything they could to work with us. We did everything we could to work with them.”

Jay Kilbie Reed was also at the screening put on by the Facebook group. He brought his 12- and 10-year-old sons, who were just as impacted as he was. “(I) knew the content would be a lot for a 10 year-old, but I thought it was important that he knows the story,” he said. “I didn’t actually go to bed till about 2:00 that night, I was just laying there with my thoughts.”

Tink Tinker, a citizen of the Osage Nation and a professor emeritus of Indian Studies at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, also went to see the movie. He said one of his favorite scenes in the movie is when a storm erupts outside Mollie Burkhart’s home. Earnest, her soon-to-be husband, tries to shut the window, but she stops him and tells him to stop talking. She wants to hear the storm and connect with her ancestors.

“That’s deeply, deeply Osage,” he said.

“At that moment, the movie was Indian.”

Though the film was met with much praise, many Osages still have their criticisms. Tinker would have liked Scorsese to portray the movie from an Indigenous perspective – like Mollie’s – rather than from Earnest Burkhart’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) perspective.

“Unfortunately, he’s (Scorsese) a white man who’s working with white money and selling our movie to a largely non-native

audience, so he couldn’t take the risk of putting the Osages in the center of the stage,” Tinker said. “And for us (Osages), that’s too bad. Osages are, once again, the pawns of the movie.”

It’s not the only criticism the movie has received. Some think the nearly 3 ½ hour movie is too long and it should have been broken up. Some theaters even included an intermission against the policies of Apple TV+.

Others critiqued that the movie focuses on a few murders, when there are plenty more that are uninvestigated or not talked about. Some say the movie did not do enough to share that Osages are still alive.

“Some of them (viewers), they’re just like, ‘We thought you were extinct.’ No, we’re just right down the road here a couple of hours,” Standing Bear said. “It struck me as strange that they were looking at us like we were elves or hobbits or something.

Well, here we are.”

Additionally, many Osages view the Reign of Terror as a taboo topic that is traumatic to talk about, and this movie went against that. Some tribal members still to this day do not discuss what happened.

Reed thought the movie did not explain the white “guardian” system enough. That was based on a law passed in the 20s that asked Osage people to “prove their competency” or be assigned a “competent” white guardian that would help manage – or rather, take – their wealth.

“There’s one time where Mollie goes and declares she’s incompetent and a lot of people had no idea what that meant,” Reed said.

That history is personal for Reed. His great, great uncle, John A. Kilbie, was not declared fully competent until he was 44,

according to a letter Kilbie received from the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1925. He was declared competent at 35, but when he was 40, it was revoked because he was “misusing and squandering his funds,” the letter reads.

“That was a part where my family was very embarrassed about that,” Reed said.

“As I get older, I’m like, a 40 year-old man should be able to spend his money however he wants, and (the fact) that the government could step in and do that is just mind boggling to me.”

But Reed and other Osages are happy the story is finally being shared, as many Americans are unaware. He’d often tell his family’s history to friends and he would be met with skepticism.

“Now I’ve had so many people that have texted me and been like, ‘This this Leonardo DiCaprio movie, is this the story you were telling me years ago?’” Reed said.

“And I’m like, ‘yes!’ … I have told the story more in the past month than I have in the past like five years.”

This movie joins the recent rise in Indigenous stories and creators in the spotlight.

But Standing Bear said action is key to keep lingering racism at bay.

“If you don’t say nothing, you just sit back and watch it, you’re complicit in murder,” he said. “You’re complicit in what’s going on. And you’ve got to understand, there’s a true story. And it can happen again.”

Standing Bear, along with other Osages, hope this movie will serve as a catalyst for further learning about their history and will open the doors for future Indigenous stories in film. The movie is still in theaters and will soon be moved to Apple TV+.

BUDGET CUTS HITTING HOMELESS

Aurora organizations brace for potential multi-million dollar cut threatening food and shelter for homeless ›› Full Story on 16

16 | SENTINELCOLORADO.COM | NOVEMBER 16, 2023

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

A

shortfall of millions of dollars could tear holes in Aurora’s safety net for home less residents starting in 2024, with cold-weather sheltering, temporary housing and meal programs at risk of vanishing due to a lack of funding.

The situation mostly reflects a decrease in retail marijuana sales, which are taxed by the city to fund homelessness services and youth violence prevention efforts. In September, the city reported that marijuana sales tax revenues fell by 11% in 2022 and that revenues were down by about 8.5% in 2023.

In total, the amount of marijuana funds available to homelessness services agencies dropped from $3.9 million for 2023 to $1.4 million to 2024. At the same time, federal COVID-19 relief funds are drying up, as pandemic-specific grants end and the city’s remaining American Rescue Plan Act money is spent down.

Between August and September, Aurora invited grant applications for programs serving the city’s several hundred homeless residents, and city staffers shared their recommendations for funding during a city council committee meeting in October.

Some of the city’s largest homelessness service providers say the cuts have the potential to endanger their clients’ physical safety and their progress toward obtaining stable housing.

“People won’t be getting fed. They won’t be having case management. They won’t have emergency shelter. They won’t have emergency outreach during cold days,” said Bob Dorshimer, CEO of Mile High Behavioral Healthcare.

“The impact this will have on the Aurora Day Resource Center is significant.

With the funding cut, it can’t operate at $200,000, seven days a week, and it will not be able to operate as a cold-weather shelter, because there will not be staff to do that.”

Mile High oversees the Aurora Day Resource Center, which offers emergency shelter to homeless residents when temperatures reach 20 degrees or colder.

The facility in north Aurora offered shelter to approximately 5,100 individuals during the previous cold season.

Mile High also administers the Comitis Crisis Center, where a kitchen for preparing meals — about 191,000 last year — and a case management program for families could both shut down for lack of funding. The agency’s outreach work could also be defunded.

Dorshimer said about 75% of Mile High’s funding comes from the City of Aurora. Currently, Mile High is set to receive $713,000 from the city in 2024 for all of its programs compared to about $2.4 million in 2023. While $300,000 of Mile High’s funding in 2023 came from a pandemic-related Community Development Block Grant, the majority of the decrease reflects marijuana tax shortfalls.

One client of Mile High, Ivan Mowery, became homeless in Aurora after medical problems cost him his job with FedEx and consequently the room at a motel where he had been living for two and a half years. Since January, Mowery has been sleeping at the Comitis Crisis Center, during which time he said he’s seen Mile High connect numerous homeless people with jobs.

Comitis is located near Mowery’s

doctors at the University of Colorado Hospital, though he said he’s close to moving into an apartment with the support he’s received through Mile High.

“This place will help you get housing and help you with a job,” he said. “If they take that away, you’re going to see more people in the streets.”

Jen — who asked to give only her first name, citing the fact that she became homeless after fleeing an abusive relationship in January — said staffers at Comitis helped connect her with mental health care and that she is close to securing an apartment with their help.

She described the support offered through Comitis, the Aurora Day Resource Center and Mile High as a lifeline for homeless clients, warning that people who are in need of mental health services in particular will be vulnerable if outreach and other services are scaled back.

“You’re going to have a lot of people not wanting to live. And if you think the hospitals are going to do anything for us, think again,” she said. “There is nowhere for us to turn. So if funding for this place goes down, it’s going to get worse. And honestly, we get no respect as human beings. We’re treated like dirt, even the ones who don’t leave trash around.”

It remains unclear how the potential reduction in shelter space and other services would impact the effectiveness of the city’s ban on homeless camping, which supporters say forces homeless people to engage with service providers.

Mowery and Jen both said sweeps of encampments have only succeeded in displacing homeless campers, who often set up tents again a short distance from where they were evicted from, an observation that has been echoed since the camping ban’s introduction by local service providers.

In 2022, the conservative majority of Aurora’s City Council codified the city’s current policy for dealing with unsheltered homelessness, including sweeping camps as long as there is enough shelter space to accommodate campers and pur-

suing “work-first” policies that prioritize employment as a way for homeless people to improve their lives.

Aurora City Councilmember Alison Coombs said progressives plan to bring forward a proposal to make up for the shortfall using council discretionary funds and unspent ARPA dollars during the council’s Nov. 20 study session.

“That is the approach that I’m trying to pursue so that hopefully we can get the support of all of the council to ensure we continue to have a shelter and other services without getting into ideological conflicts,” she said.

Whether or not the proposal is successful will depend on the majority’s interest in spending more city funds to backfill lost marijuana tax revenue and COVID-19 relief funds.

Mayor pro tem Curtis Gardner and Councilmember Dustin Zvonek both said they would wait to see progressives’ proposal before deciding whether to support it or not. They said they were unaware of any competing proposals to fully fund homelessness services coming from council conservatives.

“Staff will bring something forward, I’m sure,” Zvonek said. “I know that in the cold weather months, there’s always going to be a higher demand for services. So I’m sure they’ll bring forward something to ensure that we can adequately support those who are going to be facing the cold weather conditions in the coming months.”

However, city spokesman Ryan Luby said a proposal and the ultimate decision to backfill a shortfall with other funds “would rest with the City Council as a body, not staff.”

Gardner previously proposed cutting taxes on marijuana to help dispensaries that have struggled as sales have fallen since the pandemic. He said Tuesday that he is still exploring the idea.

Mile High is just one of the agencies bracing for significant cuts. Kristen Baluyot of the Salvation Army said the organization is probably looking at a shortfall of hundreds of thousands of

dollars next year that could force it to close one of its two Pallet shelter locations in Aurora.

The small, prefabricated housing units have been described by supporters as an effective and popular path to stability for the many homeless people who avoid group shelter facilities due to concerns about safety and the security of their property.

The Salvation Army operates 96 of the shelters located at the organization’s warehouse on Peoria Street and at Restoration Christian Ministries on East Sixth Avenue, and provides meals, showers and case management for residents.

“My hope is that we’ll continue the conversations with the City of Aurora to ensure that we have funding for those for the programs that we operate, because the reality is (that) the unhoused population or those that have been displaced from housing is a city issue,” Baluyot said.

“It is the city’s responsibility to respond to the needs of its citizens. And we step in to help at the request of cities to support in whatever way that we can, but our operations are funded by the city.”

The organization is bracing for a cut of at least $1.1 million, with most of the difference attributable to the conclusion of grants related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Salvation Army asked for a total of $1,130,520 in federal Emergency Solutions Grant funding and marijuana tax dollars to fund Pallet shelters in 2024.

City staffers recommended they be approved for $228,088 in total grants.

Separately, the city contributed $600,000 in general fund dollars for the Pallet shelter program in 2023 and is expected to contribute the same amount in 2024. A $1,026,202 contribution of ARPA dollars from Aurora to the Salvation Army for Pallet shelters is expected to be spent completely in 2024.

All but one of the eight organizations that were tentatively approved for funding through the latest homelessness

NOVEMBER 16, 2023 | SENTINELCOLORADO.COM | 17

grant process would be given less money than they asked for.

“We have significantly less funding available this year than we did in prior years, and that’s mostly because marijuana tax revenue has been down,” Emma Knight, the city’s manager of homelessness, told the Housing, Neighborhood Services and Redevelopment Policy Committee in October.

Aurora Mental Health and Recovery asked for $264,865 to fund drug and alcohol detox, outreach, mental health care and limited night shelter for the city’s homeless — they were approved for $100,000 and could take a cut of more than $120,000 compared to last year’s funding levels.

The organization is separately slated to get about $7 million in ARPA funds from the city for its proposed Crisis and Acute Care Campus, which will include permanent supportive housing and help the organization serve homeless clients.

However, the campus is not projected to

open until the end of 2025.

Chief Clinical Officer Kirsten Anderson said in a statement that Aurora Mental Health and Recovery was disappointed to learn about the potential cuts.

“From Aurora Mental Health and Recovery’s perspective, the services we provide with that city funding are critical and essential to our most vulnerable populations,” Anderson said.

“We will be looking for alternative funding solutions to keep all of our homeless services intact; however, if we aren’t able to find that funding, we will then be having to make difficult decisions regarding those services.”

Baluyot, too, said the Salvation Army will continue to look for other sources to fully fund its Pallet shelters. Dorshimer said cities, counties and the state government are the primary funders of shelter services and that charitable foundations have shifted their focus to investing in “housing-first” programs.

If nothing else, he said the shortfall

has united nonprofits behind the common goal of ensuring Aurora’s homeless residents have help and a place to go during the cold season of 2024.

“I’m at least excited that all of our nonprofits are interested in securing flat funding to keep homeless services together for one more year, to allow more time for us to have thoughtful budget conversations,” he said.

W

hen Wolves lurk, they get hungry.

That was the condition of the Grandview football team, which went into its Class 5A second round state playoff contest Nov. 10 at Regis Jesuit High School looking to get a taste of a season-defining victory.

The 11th-seeded Wolves left Lou Kellogg Stadium satisfied — at least for the moment — after taking down sixth-seeded Regis Jesuit 25-23 in a thrilling all-Aurora contest that turned on a touchdown pass from senior Liam Szarka to junior Donavon VerFOOTBALL non in the closing seconds.

52 yards and culminated in his 1-yard scoring plunge with four minutes left to cut a 23-13 deficit to 23-19.

Grandview’s defense made the stop of the game on the next possession. The Wolves had to burn two of their three time outs as the Raiders pushed into their territory and needed to pick up a fourth-and-1 at the Grandview 30 that likely would have sealed the outcome.

Regis Jesuit senior Anthony Medina — who scored two touchdowns — took a direct snap out of a Wildcat formation that had been been pretty effective earlier in the game for the Raiders, but senior linebacker Nkongolo Wa-Kalonji got through his block and took Medina down short of the line to gain.

Lone Wolves

“We’ve had good wins this year, but we haven’t had that big upset, so we’ve been just lurking and waiting,” Grandview coach Tom Doherty said.

“We had a great week of practice, the kids believed and we have No. 12 (senior quarterback Liam Szarka), so that helps.”

Four Aurora teams qualified for the 5A playoffs and just two of them were left after one round of play and only one could progress forward to the quarterfinals.

That turned out to

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor be the Wolves (8-4), who will have a 7 p.m.

Nov. 17 home game at Legacy Stadium against No. 14 Chatfield (7-5) for a spot in the semifinals.

The Chargers prevented a Centennial League rematch in the quarterfinals when they knocked off No. 3 Arapahoe 28-21 in overtime.

Having Szarka certainly helped make Grandview’s third straight trip to the quarterfinals possible.

The Air Force commitment had four touchdowns and engineered two scoring drives in the fourth quarter with his team facing a double-digit deficit.

First, he led a 12-play touchdown drive (that included two fourth down conversions) that covered

“We knew it was coming and somebody had to step up,” Doherty said. “The kids found a way, but we still had a lot of work to do after that.”

Indeed, that still left 70 yards to cover with a touchdown needed due to a four-point deficit and just 3:10 remaining on the clock. Szarka began by feeding junior Xay Neto (who finished with a game-high 95 yards receiving) with some out routes at the sideline and also hit junior Kyler Vaughn with a key pass as well.

Another completion to Neto got Grandview inside the 10 yard-line and the deciding play came after Vernon was stopped for a short gain. Szarka took the snap and rolled to his right, faked a rush and flipped a pass towards the back of the end zone as he was taken down by a Regis Jesuit defender.

Vernon leaped and caught the ball with two hands, while his left knee and shin grazed the ground in the end zone as he fell out of bounds.

Raiders defenders argued that he hadn’t come down in bounds, but the official right in front of the play signaled touchdown.

“I saw Liam roll out, turned around, realized the safety went away from me so I just put my hands up and hoped he’d throw me the ball,” Ver-

non said. “As soon as I saw it go up in the air, I went out and got it. I just had to catch it no matter what and worry about everything else later.”

Szarka threw a pass to Vernon for a touchdown that proved to the winning score in a 39-32 win over rival Eaglecrest Sept. 29, so he had no qualms about giving him a chance.

“He’s a veteran player and I have as much trust in him as I can,” Szarka said. “I just put it out there for him to go get,” he added. “He’s just a player and he went out and made that play for us.”

Regis Jesuit — which was coached by longtime assistant Bob McPhee, who took over with head coach Danny Filleman serving a one-game suspension — had two plays left and could not get down the field as time expired.

Medina scored two touchdowns for Regis Jesuit, one on a rush and another on a pass from junior Peyton Lindell and Jack Manthey kicked a 21-yard field goal.

McPhee took the loss hard, calling it a “gut punch.”

“We always tell our kids, it’s a game of inches, and we were about four inches too short,” he said.

“You have to give Grandview credit, they made a couple of big plays. We wish them the best of luck as they go on.

“It was a great high school football game. It’s too bad somebody had to lose.”

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

Grandview stopped on second day of Class 5A state tournament The Grandview girls volleyball team had a short stay of three matches in the Class 5A state volleyball tournament at the Denver Coliseum, but they were memorable.

Seeded eighth among 12 qualifying teams, coach Rob Graham’s Wolves ended up in a difficult position in the bracket with a matchup against top-seeded and undefeated Valor Christian waiting in the second round if they won their first round match with ninth-seeded Pueblo West.

Grandview got it done, but not without needing a massive effort from senior Emerson Deferme, who racked up 40 kills in a 25-23, 25-27, 25-20, 16-25, 17-15 victory. Tied at 15-15 in the decisive final set, the Wolves — who staved off one match point and couldn’t convert their first — took the lead on a kill by senior Mira Griffin and then won it on a combo block by senior Rachel Briar and junior Savannah Adams.

Later in the day, Grandview returned to the court to face defending state champion Valor Christian, which had won 45 consecutive sets dating back to a match on Sept. 7.

Undaunted, the Wolves prevailed 32-30 in an epic opening set that was tied 12 times in the late stages. Each team survived three set points to make it 30-30 on a Deferme kill, which was followed by a block by Briar and a kill inside a block by senior Peyton Belcher to seal it. A Belcher kill early in the second set gave Grandview an 11-7 lead, but it would be the Eagles who would prevailed in a close set to tie it up.

Valor Christian led from start to finish of the last two sets, however, to deal the Wolves their first loss of the double-elimination tournament.

Grandview remained undaunted as it hoped to work its way back through the Contenders Bracket to a possible rematch with Valor Christian in a crossover semifinal. But the Wolves were tripped up in their first match on Nov. 10, as 10th-seeded Castle View won 25-22, 25-22, 2523 to end their season at 21-7.
