Holy Conspiracy, Batman! Trump sends in The Gessler to fight reality in a Denver courtroom

W

DAVE PERRY Editor

elcome to yet another chapter in Colorado’s epic history of, “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up,” as it crashes broadside in a Denver courtroom right into the epic history of “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” about Donald Trump.

This episode features court jester Scott Gessler.

Who? Gessler, the former Republican Colorado secretary of state, who, among other things during his illustrious career, got caught ripping off the state about $2,000 in travel money in 2012 and then ran up a massive state-paid legal bill trying to cover up being busted by a state independent ethics panel.

Oh, yeah. That Scott Gessler.

No longer just another weird footnote in state history, Gessler is one of the lawyers representing Donald Trump in an effort by local Democrats to keep Trump from getting on the 2024 Colorado ballot.

He’s the same Gessler in court downtown right now trying to persuade a Denver judge that Trump had no responsibility whatsoever for the Jan. 6 insurrection he repeatedly called for and then participated in.

Inconveniently for Trump, the nation’s second-gen forefathers, which he and all his Trumpions reverely quote almost daily, created the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. That clause prevents anyone who participates in an insurrection from running for any public office.

Being rather clever, sometimes, the folks in charge of the country during the Civil War realized how dangerous it would be to have someone like Trump in charge of stuff after the War. So if you wanted to play Jan. 6 games, like Trump did, you couldn’t be elected dog catcher, let alone commander in chief.

A House special committee — led by one of the most staunch conservative Republicans of all time, Rep. Liz Cheney, daughter of former GOP veep Dick Cheney — painstakingly proved in 2022 to Americans and the world that Trump was responsible for, participated in and was gleeful about the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Gessler, however, is pretending in a Denver court, that was all fake news.

Despite Trump spending hundreds of millions of dollars on brilliant legal minds like Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, who are now taking plea deals in previous attempts to swindle U.S. courts — he can’t muster more brilliance like Rudy Giuliani (indicted).

Trump was able, however, to snag Gessler, who fits right in with team Trump.

Gessler is an old pro at being a top MAGA mind, even before there was such a thing.

GOP Congressperson Lauren “MeeMaw Groper” Boebert was still getting arrested for kid-stuff in Rifle, and Colorado’s infamous and indicted Tin Foiless Tina Peters was just weird when Gessler was driving his crazy across Colorado headlines.

Gessler is an old hand at alleging that elections were being stolen by armies of dead people, or immigrants, taking advantage of Colorado’s make-it-easy-tovote election system.

Trump was still busy in 2012 sexually accosting strangers and cheating New Yorkers out of taxes when Gessler was shrilly insisting that, as secretary of state, he was positive that thousands of people were voting illegally in Colorado.

“Gessler’s search for non-citizen voters began with a pool of 3,903 people he sent letters to challenging their status,” the Sentinel reported in 2013. Of the 3,903, Gessler accused — mostly Democrats — he later whittled down the list of fraudulent voters to 141. Of those, a few dozen were handed over to the former GOP Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler. Brauchler took receipt of 41 suspected fraudulent voters impugned by Gessler and spent 300-taxpaid hours supplied by six staffers to determine that more than half were actually legally registered.

Oops.

From that, Brauchler finally found that two voters could be charged with a misdemeanor.

Two.

The two Aurora charges — the only charges made statewide — were against a 72-year-old Ethiopian immigrant and a 47-year-old Polish immigrant — both accused of misdemeanor charges of procuring false registration.

Three years later, after a mountain of conspiracy theorizing and false information and allegations, the Polish immigrant was convicted.

“Vitaliy B. Grabchenko, 49, pleaded guilty to procuring false registration, a misdemeanor,” the Sentinel reported. ”Arapahoe County Judge Addison Adams gave Grabchenko a two-year deferred sentence and ordered him to complete 48 hours of community service. He will also be on supervised probation for two years.”

The thousands of voter fraudsters turned into one guy out of millions and millions of voters.

Gessler said at the time that the system must be strong to resist fraudsters who don’t respect that the burden of proof must be in favor of the sanctity of the system and not an individual.

So imagine my surprise — not — this week when that same Gessler told the court this while defending Trump and the mountain of damning evidence that he did indeed participate in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

“Gessler said there is an informal principle in election law known as ‘the rule of democracy,’ which essentially means to ‘err on the side of letting people vote’ whenever there is an ambiguity,” the Associated Press wrote this week.

That principle would be reserved for white, rich, sexually molesting, tax-cheating, insurrecting, classified-document-thieving, big-lying, election-frauding former presidents, not people of color and immigrants in Colorado.

Regardless, the trial goes on with Gessler driving one of the Team Trump circus cars around the Denver courtroom, honk, honk. You can’t make this stuff up.

If Congress won’t change the gun laws, change the Congress

I

f you can’t exactly remember which mass shooting came before the Lewiston, Maine rampage, you’re not alone.

America’s mass shootings are so frequent now that details often blur. Towns and victims become a fill-in-the-blank response by elected officials, tweeting out their “thoughts and prayers” for the most recent mass shooting particulars.

The nations’ fast-fading response is nearly as horrific as the shootings themselves.

The Columbine Shooting, which was the beginning of “never again,” was decades and hundreds of mass-shooting victims ago. In Colorado, the 2012 Aurora theater shooting was impetus for two modest gun control measures. Those laws seemed so provocative to some at the time that they nearly destroyed the General Assembly.

Stepping up the fight against the epidemic of gun violence and death in Colorado, nascent state laws raising the age of gun ownership and requiring a brief waiting period for gun purchases are being fought rabidly by gun rights activists who believe the right to carry any weapon, anywhere, any time by nearly anyone is absolute.

Far weaker measures being considered by Congress,universal background checks and a limit on firearm magazine size, continue to flail, despite the sea of dead bodies created by gun violence.

Gun activists insist it’s not the guns, yet they have no logical answer why free, modern, democratic nations like ours without prolific firearms does not suffer the epidemic of gun violence we do.

After each and every mass shooting, and recent shootings are no different, a public call for government action is met by an even more powerful call by the National Rifle Association and other groups to do nothing.

In almost each and every case, the NRA and its supporters and congressional lackeys win. America loses.

It will come as no surprise to almost everyone that despite recent horrific mass shootings, the NRA and Republican lawmakers who are either complicit or outright abetting are poised to squash or diminish even the most demure of national gun control bills.

Even those brave lawmakers who have at least signaled support for universal background checks, often stammer and say instead that mental illness is the problem in America, not guns.

It doesn’t matter how many Americans die at the hands of mass shooters or daily gun violence. It doesn’t matter that more and more Americans increasingly live in fear of being a victim of a shooter at school, at work, at the store, or even just walking to the car.

What matters is the NRA, and the politicians it supports and controls.

As long as a majority of NRA supported or complicit lawmakers remain in office, the shootings will continue, along with thoughts, prayers and empty promises.

This organization and its henchmen continually lie to Americans. Erroneously telling them: It’s not the guns.

Of course it’s the guns. Even Walmart, a long and fearsome advocate of completely unfettered gun rights and proliferation, no longer sells assault weapons, handguns and associated ammunition. They’ve asked patrons not to wear their guns into the store in places that allow such puerile nonsense.

The political makeup and climate of Congress must change before anything else will. The vast majority of Americans have already made clear their attitudes have changed toward mass shootings. They want gun control.

Given the choice between their political careers or fighting against the NRA and for solid gun control, Americans can bank on the vast majority of Congress and state legislators having sudden epiphanies and saving their careers.

Americans must act at the ballot box. Until lawmakers are installed who won’t bend to the will of the NRA, there will not be any meaningful gun control, and the mass shootings will continue.

The nation must collect and eradicate assault and military weapons and ammunition. The nation must do more to recognize and treat mental illness.

The nation must empower courts and police to seize firearms from those deemed mentally unstable. And, as a nation, we must all take responsibility to become vigilant about our friends, family and neighbors who have access to firearms and raise questions about their psychological stability.

Each American mass shooting catastrophe has only one thing in common: easy access to highly lethal firearms and ammunition for the shooters. The path forward is clear.

Israel, Gaza and genocide

T

o realize that “the human heart is deceitful and desperately wicked” one need only look at the anti-Israel protests around the world since Hamas terrorists murdered some 1,400 civilians and kidnapped 200 others.

The horrific acts include: • More than 260 people concert-goers gunned down as they fled marauding butchers. Women were raped, their legs broken, some burned alive.

• A grandmother taken hostage was executed by terrorists who filmed her murder then posted it to her social media account for her family to see.

• Traffic and dashboard cameras, plus videos boastfully recorded by the bloodthirsty attackers, shows them indiscriminately shooting and torturing civilians. Some, including children, were decapitated with shovels or rakes.

• A father was blown to bits by a grenade as his sons watched.

• A parent and child were bound together with wire and burned alive.

For two years preceding the Oct. 7 attack, Hamas pretended it was more interested in governing Gaza than attacking Israel. All the while, it prepared, aided

by Iranian advisors, this attack on unsuspecting civilians.

Now, Israel knows it must utterly destroy Hamas, which hides its headquarters and munitions in hospitals and schools. While Israel urges Palestinian civilians to leave before bombing these locations, Hamas forces its own people – often at gunpoint – to stay in harm’s way, eager to sacrifice civilians to foment hatred of Israel.

Meanwhile, protestors in the West cheer Hamas, chanting, “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea!” Make no mistake: Palestinians do not wish to intermingle with Jews in a free, democratic state.

The slogan means eradicating Jews “by any means necessary” from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, Israel’s eastern and western boundaries.

These mostly-white, mask-wearing protestors lack only swastikas to punctuate their gruesome, genocidal message.Israel is tiny – smaller than West Virginia.

Its 9.5 million residents (including more than 2 million non-Jews) are vastly outnumbered by 151 million Arabs in bordering countries and half-a-billion Arabs or Muslims across the Middle East. Israeli Jews comprise less than 0.1% of the world’s population. Only in a terribly twisted world is it unacceptable to allow them a

tiny homeland and the opportunity to live in peace.

As the sole democracy among its neighbors and the only one to recognize rights for sexual minorities, Israel ought to be a hero of the Left.But protestors claim Israel “has a monopoly on violence” and that it is a “colonizer” of Palestine. Of course, Israel’s survival depends on its military strength because the first war it loses will be its last.

Moreover, Israelis surely are not colonizers. Jews have inhabited the land of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for more than 3,000 years. It was they who were scattered from their homeland by Roman and then Muslim conquerors.

After World War I, control of Palestine fell to the League of Nations which created a homeland to which Jews could return and live alongside Palestinian Arabs who did not want a Jewish minority in their midst.

Some Jews fleeing Europe were confined to refugee camps. After World War II when Arab nations backed Hitler’s Germany, the United Nations voted to create separate Arab and Jewish states in Palestine.One day after Israel declared its independence in 1947, seven Arab nations attacked it, seeking to eradicate the Jews.

Miraculously, Israel prevailed in a 10-month war and emerged with control of much of the land originally designated for Arabs. Israel gained more territory following the 1973 Yom Kippur War when Egypt and Syria attacked on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

Eventually, Israel and Egypt negotiated a peace agreement in which Egypt ceased hostilities against the Jewish state.

Palestinians, however, have rejected at least four opportunities for self-governance because their leaders refuse to recognize Israel’s essential right to exist.

In 2005, Israel removed 10,000 Jewish settlers from Gaza and withdrew all military personnel. Palestinians “rewarded” Israel by electing the Hamas party which is sworn to Israel’s destruction.

That was the last election in Gaza. This much is clear: If the Palestinians put down their weapons tomorrow, they would have peace with Israel. But if Israel surrendered its weapons tomorrow, it would be annihilated. Those who justify genocide against the Jews, decapitation of children, and burning alive of families are monsters who dare not liken anyone else to Hitler or Nazis without first looking in a mirror.

The real price for Proposition HH P roposition HH is one of the most complicated ballot measures ever presented to voters. It pulls multiple levers in tax laws, increases state spending, and has costly impacts for homeowners and renters.

To help voters understand the impact of Prop HH on their own finances, CSI issued Proposition HH: The Taxpayer Dilemma, an in-depth analysis of the measure.

In a nutshell, Prop HH would take your TABOR refund to pay down a small amount of your property tax. I say small because even if Prop HH passes, property taxes in Arapahoe county will escalate more than 25%.

The economic impact of higher property tax revenue growth under Prop HH will result in a personal income loss of $425 per household and cost Colorado more than 14,000 jobs.

CSI analysis has identified several key components of the measure: • Renters are the biggest losers. 768,000 or 33% of all Colorado households that are renters would not directly receive a property tax reduction, yet joint filers would lose $5,119 in future TABOR refunds. If landlords choose to pass on property taxes as is usually the case, renters are likely to see an increase in rents over time as well.

• The average homeowner would face a net tax increase of $478 through 2032. While they would see $4,641 in property tax savings, they would have a $5,119 increase in state taxes paid for by loss of TABOR refunds.

• Where does the funding go? >> Over 80% of additional money retained from Proposition HH would go to education with no accountability measures or spending guidelines. >> Up to 20% of the tax increase would go to reimburse local governments for lost property tax revenue, though it is likely much less than that will be needed as local government assessed value surpasses the backfill threshold. >> Up to $20 million annually for rental assistance.

If Not Prop HH Then What?

Prop HH will be the only measure on property taxes voters see on the 2023 ballot, and the only policy, barring a special session called by Governor Polis, that could impact their 2023 taxes.

However, there remains numerous other policy options that could be adopted by the legislature or voters that provide greater relief for taxpayers.

Prop HH focuses tax relief for fixed-income C olorado homeowners all received a property tax assessment in the mail this year, and if your eyes went wide at the estimated increase in taxes, you’re not alone. During the pandemic we saw an exponential increase in home prices in part because we saw many high earners from other states move to Colorado, driving up the prices of single family homes.

Statewide, assessed values of homes are expected to increase by 40 percent in 2023, on average, and assessed value of commercial properties are expected to increase by 20 percent on average in 2023.

Seniors and low-income families will be hit the hardest by the property tax increases. Seniors, who are already on a fixed income, will struggle to afford the drastic raise in property taxes, potentially putting their savings in the crosshairs between their homes and unexpected medical costs. Hard working families who rent their homes may have to choose between groceries for their family or keeping their home.

While the situation may seem dire, there is hope. Proposition HH will save Colorado taxpayers over $1 billion annually in property taxes and provide targeted relief for seniors.

Seniors are particularly vulnerable to property tax increases because they often live on a fixed income. Under HH, the average senior homeowner in Colorado will save $1,065 over the next two years.

HH provides targeted savings for seniors by building upon the Senior Homestead Exemption. The most recent Col-

orado Futures Center Housing Affordability Update shows that the inflexibility of the Senior Homestead Exemption is exacerbating the housing crisis. Prop HH addresses this by making the Senior Homestead Exemption portable, allowing seniors to downsize without sacrificing the property tax savings. This includes seniors who have already moved! If a senior was previously eligible for the Senior Homestead Exemption but lost it after moving, will immediately become re-eligible and will save $2,122 on average over the next two years. This gives our older population greater flexibility in choosing homes that fit their needs.

It’s no secret that the skyrocketing rise in rent has been contributing to the state’s ongoing housing crisis. Many landlords will factor the 40 percent rise in property taxes into their rent increases next year, leaving many renters liable for paying property taxes on a home they don’t even own. Prop HH takes hardworking families’ concerns into account and will actually dedicate up to $20 million every year to assist renters in paying for a portion of their rent – securing long-term homes for renters and reducing the amount landlords could pass on to their tenants.

If Colorado voters fail to pass Prop HH this fall, the alternative would dramatically reduce funding for our schools and valuable community programs that we all rely on. The far right special interests spreading misinformation about HH want you to believe that Initiative 50 is an equal alternative to Proposition HH, but that’s just not true. Prop HH reduces property tax rates responsibly by asking the state to retain more of the revenue it already collects but would otherwise be refunded to taxpayers in order to pay for the property tax cuts – protecting our school budgets, fire districts, libraries and more. Initiative 50 is a short-sighted retaliation that would leave our community programs devastated.

Prop HH is a win-win solution for Colorado homeowners and local governments alike, and Colorado voters have the responsibility to pass the largest property tax reductions in Colorado history. By voting yes, voters will secure over $1 Billion in property tax savings for Colorado families and businesses every year for the next ten years. The average homeowner in Colorado will save $1,078 over the next two years and $3,241 over the next five years if Prop HH passes in November.

Be a good neighbor, look out for your community. Be part of the change that helps seniors, working families, and more while protecting our schools and other critical services that our communities depend on. Vote YES on Proposition HH.

More than $2 million in local, national dollars invested in Aurora council, school races AT LEAST $814,000 IN DARK MONEY WAS RAISED TO PROMOTE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES AND DISCREDIT PROGRESSIVES.

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

A

urora’s nominally-nonpartisan city council elections have pulled in close to $2 million for a slate of conservative and progressive candidates, including funding from national dark money interests, according to filings submitted last week to the City Clerk’s Office.

Campaign candidate fundraising for Aurora’s two school board races is far more sedate.

More than $930,000 has been shoveled into city races by political nonprofits that are not required to and do not disclose their donors, meeting the criteria for those groups to be classified as dark money by transparency watchdog OpenSecrets and other open government advocates.

Most of that money, at least $814,000, was raised to promote conservative candidates and discredit progressives. A smaller amount, at least $123,000, was raised for the promotion of progressive candidates.

Close to $1.7 million has been spent by all candidates and other entities in the latest election cycle so far.

Conservatives currently hold a slim majority of seats on the council. The 2021 election saw Republicans flip the Ward II council seat, representing much of eastern Aurora, as well as one at-large seat.

But Democrats are hoping to make inroads this fall, with Councilmember Juan Marcano running to unseat incumbent Republican Mayor Mike Coffman and progressives fielding candidates in all other

ward-based and at-large council races.

A total of 13 candidates appear on this year’s general election ballot, including three mayoral candidates, four at-large candidates and two candidates running for each of the three open ward seats:

Mike Coffman (R – Mayor) Coffman has raised about $216,002 this election cycle, plus another $2,085 worth of in-kind contributions, including catering for fundraisers. An in-kind contribution of a post office box valued at $80 was Coffman’s only reported investment in his own campaign.

Political entities and business groups have contributed $10,500 in cash to the campaign, including the Apartment Association of Metro Denver Political Committee ($1,000), Colorado Committee of Automotive Retailers ($1,000), Consumer Fireworks Safety Association PAC ($1,150), CORAD Holdings LLC ($1,000), Heather Gardens Republicans Club ($150), Lodgepac ($1,000), Metro Housing Coalition ($1,150), QP Health Care Services LLC ($250), Realtor Candidate PAC ($1,150), Ryman Hospitality Properties PAC ($1,000), The American Ethiopian PAC ($1,150) and Vivage Small Donor Committee ($500).

Council members Francoise Bergan ($100), Danielle Jurinsky ($1,150), Steve Sundberg ($400) and Dustin Zvonek ($1,000) also contributed to Coffman’s campaign.

Juan Marcano (D – Mayor) Marcano has raised about $99,880 from donors and invested $1,150 in his campaign, reporting no in-kind contributions.

Political entities have given $3,400 to Marcano’s campaign, including Kennedy’s BackPAC ($100), Javier’s Economic Justice Fund ($500), Conservation Colorado Grassroots Action Fund ($500), Communications Workers of America Political Action Fund ($1,150) and BIPAC ($1,150).

Council members Alison Coombs ($450), Ruben Medina ($1,100) and Crystal Murillo ($650) have contributed to Marcano’s campaign along with council candidates Jon Gray ($40), Brian Matise ($1,000) and Thomas Mayes ($50).

Jeff Sanford (D – Mayor) Sanford has said that he is not accepting donations for his campaign and reported no contributions or expenditures for this election cycle.

Rob Andrews (D – Mayor) Andrews raised $11,073, not including about $19,606 of personal funds that he invested in his campaign, before dropping out of the mayoral race in August. He also received about $1,350 worth of in-kind contributions such as mailers, pins and promotional materials.

Andrews did not receive funds from any other council members or candidates, or any committee registered with the Aurora City Clerk’s Office.

Other progressive council members and candidates have also given to Coombs’ campaign, including Juan Marcano ($450), Crystal Murillo ($400), Brian Matise ($1,000) and Thomas Mayes ($50).

Curtis Gardner (R – At-Large) Gardner reports raising $97,490 this election cycle, not including one in-kind contribution of about $126. He has not invested personal funds in his re-election campaign.

He also received donations from Scott Graves, who is campaigning alongside him to unseat an incumbent board member.

During a candidate forum, McKenna and Graves said that they are campaigning together to share resources. They have the same campaign website and work with the same campaign manager.

Graves is running to represent District C. He raised a total of $15,162, according to state financial records.

Records show that he received

monetary donations from: Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky; Cherry Creek Republican Women Small Donor Committee; Executive Director of Colorado Parent Advocacy Network Lori Gimselshteyn and Centennial Councilmember Richard Holt.

Colorado House of Representatives in 2022.

Reinhard raised a total of $20,314 for her campaign, according to state financial records. In addition to the two large donations, she also received donations from APS Director Debra Gerkin, Denver Public School Director Auon’tai Anderson and several APS employees.

Tasker raised a total of $18,994 for her campaign, the third highest amount raised for this race. She also received donations from multiple APS employees.

Saucedo raised a total of $11,072 according to state finan-

cial records, almost all of which she donated to herself. Just $400 came from three other donors.

Garcia raised the least amount of money for this race with $2,869 according to state financial records. He received donations from Aurora city council members Danielle Jurinsky and Steve Sundberg.

The three candidates with the most votes will be elected to the board.

‘I WANTED THE BUILDINGS TO TALK’: FIVE POINTS AUDIO TOURS BRING HISTORY TO LIFE

BY CARLY FOR ROSE, Rocky Mountain PBS

D

enver’s Five Points neighborhood is steeped in history, culture and change.

A yoga studio occupies what was once a mortuary owned by the sons of Frederick Douglass. Across the street from an RTD park-and-ride station, you’ll find the former home of Dr. Justina Ford, Colorado’s first Black female doctor who delivered thousands of babies, many of them in her house.

The buildings — and the people — of Five Points have witnessed the evolution of this historically Black neighborhood. As people come and go, the buildings remain. If those walls could talk, what stories would they tell? Two new audio tours from the Denver Architecture Foundation strive to answer that question.

The nonprofit released the tours, titled Five Points Fortitude, as the centerpiece of its annual Doors Open Denver event. Most years, Doors Open Denver showcases the city’s architecture through in-person tours and events. This year, the event was virtual.

The self-paced audio tours are free to access and will be available in perpetuity. The two tours — a 13-stop tour for adults and an eight-stop tour designed for families — allow people to take in the information at their own pace, pausing and replaying as needed. The tour encourages people to take their time in the neighborhood and explore destinations that aren’t designated tour stops.

Michael Hughes, DAF’s interim executive director, said the buildings often considered to be architecturally significant are grand, expensive and designed by white architects. By highlighting the architectural gems in Five Points, the foundation wants to take a step toward revising that narrative.

“The buildings that are often praised or thought about as worthy of attention are buildings of great privilege,” Hughes said. “There’s an awakening to really trying to understand the breadth of the community, the diversity of architectural styles, of historic context.”

As one would expect from an architecture tour, each stop includes information about the building’s architectural style and history. But the tour also dives into the cultural history and personal stories of the building.

To help tell those stories, DAF tapped filmmaker donnie l. betts. betts, who does not use capital letters in his name, produced, directed and co-wrote both tours. betts has established deep roots in the Five Points community, producing films that honor and preserve the history of the neighborhood and the experience of Black people in the West.

“I wanted the buildings to talk. I’m not an architect, but I know how to tell a story,” betts said. “People who are walking and listening to this will have a chance to take in those stories and take in the beauty of the architecture at the same time.”

The tours give context to visitors who may not be familiar with Five Points’ history, but betts sees the potential for even longtime residents to discover more about their neighborhood. He said a friend of his was excited to bring her family on the tour, despite being from Five Points herself.

In the early 20th century, redlining policies served to segregate major cities across the country, including Denver. As a redlined community, Five Points became Denver’s first predominantly Black neighborhood. But, as betts pointed out, Five Points has always been a

multi-ethnic neighborhood, home to Jewish, Hispanic and Japanese communities, to name a few. The audio tours tell this history.

“I want [listeners] to have appreciation of history and appreciation of the people who were there before, now and into the future,” betts said.

Five Points, historically dubbed the “Harlem of the West” for its booming jazz scene, is still attracting new residents interested in its diverse culture and history.

But the wealth of many of these new residents is changing the dynamics of the neighborhood and creating concerns about gentrification in the area.

Hughes and betts both discussed the alienating feeling that gentrification creates for longtime residents who begin to feel like strangers in their own neighborhood. Hughes hopes the tour can spark conversations about preserving the neighborhood’s history as it continues to evolve.

“The tour gives you a chance to ask, what can we do to keep the things that we love about [the neighborhood] from disappearing as the economics change and people move in?” Hughes said.

As the people betts calls “new pioneers” arrive to discover what the neighborhood has to offer, he hopes they hold on to what makes Five Points what it is.

“I just hope they have that same energy and same kind of love for the community,” betts said. “I keep coming back to that word love, because I think that’s what made Five Points different to begin with.”

Both Five Points Fortitude audio tours are available on the Denver Architecture Foundation’s website on the Audio Tours page.

AURORA PROPS 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D

promoting police officers and firefighters in ways that Aurora police say will promote accountability and ease staffing problems.

Supporters of the amendment that would have granted Aurora’s mayor the power to hire and fire city staffers and veto legislation announced in August that they were suspending their campaign, saying challenges from opponents caused them to miss a procedural deadline.

Proposed charter amendments appearing on Aurora’s 2023 ballot include:

Aurora voters will weigh A proposal to empower Aurora’s mayor may have missed the deadline to appear on the 2023 gendered ballot, but four other ballot questions brought by Aurora’s City charter Council and the police department are set to be decided by votlanguage, ers this fall.

All four proposed charter police and amendments were voted onto the ballot by a bipartisan mafire personnel jority of Aurora’s City Council.

One amendment concerns the of gendered language Question 3A: Scrubbing rules this fall presence in the city charter, while the others tweak the rules for hiring and

gendered language from the city charter

Ballot Question 3A would rewrite sections of 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 Ballot Question 3B 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 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 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.

Want To Live to 100?

LONGEVITY LESSONS FROM THE “BLUE ZONES”

BY ALEX CASPERO, The Associated Press

S

ome regions around the globe are giving Father Time a run for his money.

Centenarians, defined as those who reach the age of 100, are commonplace in five distinct areas worldwide.

The “Blue Zones,” a term coined by National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner, are home to some of the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world: Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy; Ikaria, Greece; Nicoya, Costa Rica; and Loma Linda, California.

In a four-part series that debuted on Netflix at the end of August, Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones, Buettner takes viewers through each region with take-home lessons about why these specific zones have a life expectancy much higher than the US average.

Research on the Blue Zones shows that environment and lifestyle may impact healthy aging more than the genetic hand you were dealt; the Danish Twin Study established that only about 20% of how long the average person lives is determined by genes.

Beyond just diet and exercise, Buettner and his team uncovered nine lessons, dubbed the “Power 9.” Four distinct parts sum up the overarching message: move, have the right outlook, eat wisely, and connect. These evidence-based lifestyle principles are standard throughout all Blue Zones, yet are attainable regardless of where you live.

Move Naturally An environment where you are forced to move often, whether walking to the store, tending to your garden, or traveling by sidewalk to a friend’s house, is a key part of the Blue Zones.

Building movement into everyday life is vital, in or out of the home. JayDee Vykoukal, Doctor of Physical Therapy, says, “In modern society, we

tend to think of ‘exercise’ as a chore… finding ways to move that feel good can make all the difference for our physical health.”

While many communities naturally encourage more movement, most of us will need to be more creative. Vykoukal notes, “Finding active hobbies can instantly change the mindset around the importance of getting the heart pumping daily. Find a walking or hiking club, sign up for a tennis or dance class, and start enjoying your active parts of the day.”

Know Your Purpose In Okinawa, Japan, they call it “ikgai.” Nicoyans in Costa Rica call it “plan de vida,” which translates as “why I wake up in the morning.” Whatever you call it, the message is simple – understanding your purpose, not only in your life but also in your greater community, is associated with longevity.

Downshift Stress plays a critical role in stress-induced diseases; the accumulation of day-to-day stress can cause excessive inflammation, which is associated with aging diseases such as atherosclerosis and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

We all experience stress; the key is having a routine to help you manage life’s inevitable stresses. Centenarians find a way to shred both chronic and acute stress; Okinawans pause to remember their ancestors, Seventh-Day Adventist church members, which primarily make up the community of Loma Linda, Calif., pray, the Ikarians take a nap, and the Sardinans enjoy happy hour with friends.

Hara Hachi BU Hara Hachi Bu, the Confucian teaching of eating until you are only 80% full, is said before meals in Okinawa for a more mindful eating experience. This is good advice for many, especially overeaters learning to stop eating before they are overly full.

Slowing down and giving your body time to register how much you’ve eaten can help you understand how much food you actually need.

Plant Slant While most Blue Zone residents do consume meat, it’s in much smaller quantities — about five times per month on average. Plant-based proteins, especially beans like fava, black, soy, and lentils, are the cornerstone of most centenarian diets.

Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds has been associated with improved health outcomes, including reduced risks of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer.

This is likely because plants contain nutrients associated with immunity, longevity, and overall health: vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber.

Antioxidants can ease oxidative stress, which increases inflammation and free radical damage to cells and DNA and contributes to chronic disease.

Plants average 64 times the antioxidant content of any animal-based food, yet most Americans fall short. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that only 1 in 10 Americans consume the recommended fruits and vegetables daily. Men, younger adults, and adults with lower incomes consume the least. ›› See LIVE, 14

GENERATIONS

›› LIVE, from 13 The Blue Zones demonstrate how eating a plant-rich diet can also be economical. They know how to make peasant food, like sweet potatoes, beans, and whole grains, taste delicious. In Sardinia, a simple bean soup made from garden vegetables, beans, barley,

tomatoes, and olive oil is an almost daily meal. In Okinawa, tofu is a staple and eaten twice daily, often mixed with vegetables and fresh herbs.

Wine at 5 Except for the Seventh Day

Adventist community, people in the Blue Zones drink alcohol regularly but moderately, especially with friends. In Sardinia, a glass of red wine is part of the downshift, a way to deal with chronic stress and relax with good company.

The moderate antioxidant-rich wine consumption may help ex-

plain lower stress levels among men in Sardinia, home to the world’s longest-lived men.

Belong Longevity is often associated with diet and exercise do’s and don’ts. However, belonging to a faith-based community may also be part of the equation, although denomination doesn’t seem to matter. Several studies have examined the connection between belonging to a faith-based organization and health outcomes; one study showed an average of living four years longer for those who regularly attended faith-based services.

This may be because churchgoers often engage in other positive, health-promoting behaviors. Additionally, being part of a community, like a church, offers social support, which also helps.

Positive social support can lead to lower levels of stress, increased immune function, and healthier lifestyle behaviors, all of which contribute to healthspan.

Loved Ones First In addition to seeing themselves as part of their community, centenarians in the Blue Zones prioritize family. Parents and grandparents live nearby or in the home. A 2017 study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior found that grand-

parents who cared for grandchildren had 37% lower mortality risk than non-grandparents or grandparents who didn’t provide child care for their grandchildren.

Since social isolation and loneliness are health risks similar to smoking or obesity, having older generations in constant contact with younger generations seems to prolong the lifespan.

Right Tribe Okinawans create “moais,” a group of five friends selected in early childhood who are committed to each other for life. Having this dedicated group further boosts their social network, which favorably impacts their health behaviors.

The Framingham studies have shown that many health behaviors, like smoking, obesity, and happiness, are contagious. Surrounding yourself with individuals who have positive health behaviors is likely to impact yours.

The same is true with negative behaviors.

The Blue Zones offer a blueprint for a healthier, longer life with the flexibility to live nearly anywhere: nutritious food, good friends, an active lifestyle, and a sense of purpose are the key ingredients. There may be a fountain of youth, after all.

IN THE SHADOW OF AURORA THEATER SHOOTING, A MOTHER’S LONG SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS

›› Full story on 16

“We had our daughter taken.

We lost everything we had.

And we lost our country.”

On Tuesday, Sept. 5, 2023, Lonnie Phillips, left, and his wife, Sandy, pose for a portrait at the memorial to the victims of the 2012 mass shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, in Aurora. Suffering through their own personal loss after a mass shooting in Colorado claimed Sandy’s daughter, Jessica Ghawi, in 2012, the couple set out to help other parents like them, traveling to shooting sites around the country. The trip continued for a decade. AP Photo/David Goldman

T

here’s a look Sandy Phillips came to know each time she arrived somewhere a gunman had made famous. Her road trip through mass shooting sites went on for a decade and always seemed to have a new stop.

When she reached it, she’d lock eyes with someone and see the catatonia, as plain as the weight of every leaden step they’d taken since the news that upended their life.

She, too, had inched through days when all the world’s laughter went silent and its beauty was lost. Her own daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was among the 12 murdered during the Aurora theater shooting in 2012.

In a morning fog, she’d question if it all was a nightmare, and in the black of night, when the grisly visions clawed her awake, she’d lie there wishing it was she who had died. Life became a torturous cycle punctuated by her own sobbing. She was sure she was creeping toward insanity.

Now she found herself in Newtown or Parkland or Uvalde or whatever fresh hell had just been put on the map. She had lessons to share, advice that could only be amassed by someone who’d lived through the same. So, she’d clasp the hands of the mourning and ask about the ones they’d been robbed of and mouth words that could surprise her as much as those who listened.

“You will,” she said confidently, “find joy again.”

She repeated it more times than she can count. She’d show up at the school or nightclub or church or wherever the latest battle erupted in this new American war, and she’d say them to the parents who put children in tiny caskets and the partners who never got to say goodbye. She knew them to be true even if she had to repeat them to convince herself.

It would be a journey, she told them, to rediscover happiness. A journey she was on, too.

The change Here is life before Phillips’ daughter was shot: She is sharing her dream house with her dream husband and has just landed her dream job. She goes to cocktail parties. She is fun to be around. Come summer, there are carefree vacations, and at year’s end, there are Christmas trees in every room. All the teenage strife that once occupied her San Antonio home has faded. Her son is suddenly a responsible adult. Her daughter has blossomed into a poised and professional woman, on the cusp of college graduation and eager to make a name for herself as a sports reporter.

And here is life after: The dream home is lost to bankruptcy. The dream job is abandoned. She and her dream husband barely want to leave the house, much less fake their way through socializing. Even her best friend of decades has tired of her gloom. There will be no vacation. There will be no Christmas. All of that ended with a middle-of-the-night call on July 20, 2012, that caused her to slide down the wall, screaming the same two words over and over.

“Jessi’s dead!” she bellowed. “Jessi’s dead!”

Just hours earlier, she’d texted back and forth with her daughter, Jessica Ghawi, the electric 24-year-old who oozed so much enthusiasm, kindness and impulsivity that she reminded her mother of a Labrador puppy. From the time she was a little girl, she was marked by her empathy, befriending the friendless and comforting the crying. She was fiery, she was silly, she was irrepressible. She sailed down a mountain dressed like a banana the first time she skied. She sweet-talked her way to the front of the airport security line when she was late for a flight. Her smile sparkled, her conversation never ended, she stopped traffic in a dress.

And now she was gone.

Details dripped out from inside the Century 16 movie theater in Aurora, where Ghawi was among the dozen killed,

lives ended by a man with guns he never should have had.

And, for months, Phillips sunk into a paralyzing haze.

“This really happened. This is not a dream. This is my life now,” she’d realize when she awoke.

Before, when headlines flashed of Columbine and Virginia Tech and Fort Hood and so many others, she absorbed the horror of it all for just a moment before turning away and returning to her safe and happy life. Something had to be done, she knew, but she left the task to others.

Now, it felt as if her whole identity was challenged. How could she ever again believe the idea that her country was the home of life, liberty and happiness, when her daughter’s life and her own happiness had been taken?

She felt her daughter nagging at her, not just to rise from bed day after agonizing day, but to do something more.

Aurora was not the last As the first Christmas that Phillips would not celebrate neared, another shooting erupted, this time at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. An anti-violence group reached out, asking if she might consider visiting Newtown to meet parents of the dead. She said yes and found herself in a room where she saw that familiar expression.

“We looked like that five months ago,” she said to her husband Lonnie, who had been in Jessi’s life since she was a little girl and saw her as a daughter of his own.

There, they met David Wheeler, who recalled learning of the shooting that claimed Phillips’ daughter. “Those poor people,” he thought at the time, pausing just for a moment before returning to work. Now, two of those people were before him, and he was living through the same.

Wheeler’s 6-year-old son Ben was silly, rambunctious, athletic and funny, and loved being the center of attention. He

sang Beatles songs in perfect pitch and shrieked in glee whenever a lighthouse came into view. He was about to get the training wheels off his bike, about to lose his baby teeth, about to start playing soccer, about to be so many things.

Phillips held Wheeler and offered a bevy of advice. She told him to forgive himself even as his mind would trick him into thinking he could have prevented his son’s death. She told him to think of himself first and take the time to grieve before jumping into advocacy. She told him he might lose friends and be the target of conspiracy theories. She told him he’d be happy again.

Wheeler was left stunned that anyone who’d been through what Phillips had could stand before him just months later and express any sense of optimism about life.

“Not only do you wonder if you’re going to ever be happy or feel happy or find happiness ever again,” Wheeler said, “you wonder if it’s wrong to do that.”

Phillips’ very presence gave him hope.

And for her, a sense of purpose was found.

A mission For the first time since Jessi’s death, a new life crystallized. Phillips vowed to travel to as many shooting sites as she could.

She’d pin on a button with her daughter’s face and set out for whatever makeshift memorial had sprouted up. She’d pass the piles of flowers and stuffed animals and look for the photos of the lost.

She felt a kinship with those whose loved ones’ lives ended like Jessi’s. When she looked into their eyes, she sensed the hopes and dreams that were snuffed out.

Often, those closest to the dead were hard to find, holing up as she once did to shut the world out. She would make her way through the community, looking for people to make introductions, or reach out directly through Facebook and phone calls.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 | SENTINELCOLORADO.COM | 17

“You don’t know me,” Phillips said when she made her way to Rhonda Hart after her daughter was killed at a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, “but I know what you’re going through.”

Hart’s 14-year-old daughter, Kimberly Vaughan, was a Girl Scout through and through, who devoured books and was a model of politeness, with an occasional burst of sassiness sneaking through.

When she was 3, Hart once nudged her out the door by saying, “Come on, princess.” She snapped back: “I’m not a princess, Mommy. I’m a race car.”

Kimberly loved her American Sign Language class and dreamed of being an interpreter. The last time she saw her mother, they signed “I love you” to one another.

Now Hart was in her darkest moment.

She cried constantly. She couldn’t sleep.

Her body hurt. Showering and changing her clothes had become optional. Nothing mattered.

On the other end of the phone was a woman who knew precisely how she felt.

“I kind of let my barriers down to talk to her,” Hart said. “And we just kind of bonded.”

Each place Phillips went, it repeated.

Always, there were vigils by candlelight and politicians with empty promises and first responders who’d seen too much. Always, there were reporters telling the same story that seemed to have been told a hundred times. Always, there was a cascade of grief.

“Every one is the same and every one is different,” Phillips said.

Some people Phillips met along the way stayed in touch for years; others dissolved into tears in her arms, never to be heard from again. Some spiraled to suicide. Some of their tragedies were seared into public consciousness; others receded into a jumble of places where something awful happened, but few seemed to remember exactly what.

Along the way, there were diversions.

For months, Phillips sat in a Colorado courthouse while her daughter’s killer stood trial. She found herself in court again when she sued the seller of the guns used in the theater attack, but a law shielding gun sellers ensured it failed.

On the hook for the gun shop’s legal fees, the Phillipses lost their home.

But the journey continued. They made an RV their home and took to the road even more.

Sometimes, at the site of one tragedy, they’d cut their stay short to rush to another. Sometimes months passed between shootings. Always, they returned to the road.

People would ask, “How could you keep doing this?”

They would reply, “How could we not?”

Possibilities As she pushed forward, Phillips’ hopes soared from time to time that major gun reform could happen. She went to Capitol Hill and the White House and the campaign trail to elevate the cause.

There she was, beside a president or a congresswoman. There she was, again and again, not just frustrated but sickened by the country’s inability to confront the killings.

At each shooting site, she had nothing more on her agenda than reaching families of the dead and being a source of comfort and advice gleaned from her

own experience. Often, though, those she met would reach out later, seeking to advocate for change the way she had.

Droves joined the cause, but the killings only continued and the political divide only widened.

Phillips didn’t consider it radical to believe weapons of war had no place on American streets. Her parents gave her a gun for her 10th birthday and she enjoyed bird hunting as a girl. She was a Texan, long aligned with Republican politics. Now, she found their intransigence on guns maddening.

“Innocent people and children are dying,” she said, “and people go, ‘Oh well, nothing we can do.’”

It became a source of pain for Phillips and those who joined her work.

Marc Orfanos received a call from Phillips within a day of his son Telemachus’ killing. The 27-year-old was one of 13 who were fatally shot at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, and he felt his cynicism and disgust grow with each shooting that followed.

His son was a Navy veteran who was just beginning to recover from the trauma of surviving the shooting a year earlier that killed 60 people at a Las Vegas concert.

The loss Orfanos felt rippled to people he never met. A little boy down the street wrote him a letter saying that when he’d walk his dog at night, he felt safer when he’d see Telemachus outside. A customer at the Infiniti dealership where Telemachus worked told of how she texted back and forth with him about the Dodgers.

Childhood teachers showed up, talking of his humor and how he seemed to find something in common with everyone he met.

As so many showered the family in compassion, though, others turned to vitriol.

The day after the shooting, Orfanos’ wife Susan gave a seething, voice-breaking TV interview in which she said, “I don’t want prayers, I don’t want thoughts, I want gun control.” It made the family a target and unleashed a torrent of hate. Callers dialed them at home claiming it was all a lie and their son wasn’t even dead. Letters blanketed the neighborhood saying the family was embroiled in a conspiracy to take away people’s guns. All of it came as the horrifying details of Telemachus’ death – on the floor of a bar, bleeding out from five bullet holes – tormented them.

Orfanos couldn’t find consolation in his son’s death bringing change, because it didn’t.

“One doesn’t get through it or over it or past it,” he said. “It never changes.

And the reason it never changes is because there seems to be no concerted and universal effort to stop this.”

The trek Phillips had no idea how far her trip would go or how long it would last. As it stretched on, she lost faith in politicians to do anything, and grew disenchanted with some gun reform groups, too. The only thing she could rely on was more shootings, more ripples of devastating grief.

Brandon Wolf met Phillips after he survived the shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, keeping in touch and crossing paths as their advocacy overlapped. Two of his best friends were killed in the attack. The pain remained even as the years passed.

He was plagued with guilt over making it out alive; it took years to feel as if he deserved to be happy again. When joy returned, it was dampened by the absence of two men he considered brothers. He could be guarded and vigilant. He was plagued by PTSD and insomnia.

“It severs your soul in a way that is irreparable,” Wolf said. “You learn to find new joy. You learn to navigate the world in a different way. But it changes you forever.”

As years passed tending to the grief of others, Phillips felt her own heartbreak evolve.

She had climbed out of the depths of debilitating sadness, broke the habits of eating and drinking too much, returned to putting makeup on her face and found a reason to rise from bed.

One day, she made it through without breaking into tears and when she realized it, she cried. Another, a thought of Jessi sent her into a fit of laughter, which in turn spurred a wave of guilt.

Other scars remained: Her thinking was so disjointed and attentiveness so fractured that she couldn’t make it through a book for years. Filling out paperwork in a doctor’s office seemed insurmountable. Sleep remained fitful. The sight of a mother and daughter together was piercing.

“I have that hole in my heart,” she said. “I’m not complete anymore.”

Being on the road and meeting so many others like herself often felt like it helped. She had purpose and helping others brought some solace.

But each tragedy also took its toll.

She lost count of the places she’d been.

Her phone filled with numbers for people she met, but she could no longer keep all their stories straight.

Isla Vista. Sutherland Springs. Pittsburgh. She’d try to come up with the sorrowful litany of her past decade and her mind would blank. Las Vegas. El Paso.

Highland Park. Santa Barbara. Each of them came with blessings but also added to her grief. Virginia Beach. Colorado Springs. Another Aurora. She felt it all building, but pushed on. She was in Buffalo, where a racist took aim at supermarket shoppers, when she had to fly off to Uvalde, where little boys and girls were murdered and uniformed men stood by for a seeming eternity. She was more shaken than she had been in years. The weight of her journey became blatantly clear. The grief swallowed her. And, as quickly as it started 10 years earlier, her trip was over.

A new journey To the very end of her journey, Phillips never stopped telling those she met that they would find happiness again.

She believed it to her core and needed them to believe it too.

Now, she had decided to put an end to a trip that came to define her.

But when your life is punctuated by the kind of tragedy she endured, it only has two parts. There is before and after.

After never rivals before. Everyone she met along the way affirmed it.

When Wheeler goes on vacation and a lighthouse appears, it’s impossible not to think of the lanky, wavy-haired teen with a sly smile that his son might have become before the Newtown gunman ended his life.

When Girl Scout cookie season comes, Hart avoids any place they might

appear. The cold snap of a fresh-fromthe-freezer Thin Mint, once sold by her daughter, now makes her sick to her stomach.

When Wolf’s birthday arrives, it doesn’t matter what revelry it brings, there will always be two missing faces.

Food doesn’t taste as good. Songs don’t sound the same. A visit to a nightclub, once carefree, now has him on high alert.

And for Orfanos, the gruesomeness of his son’s death at the bar still permeates his thoughts. Life feels like a performance, an effort to fill time with distractions so as not to focus on the void that defines it.

“It’s been 1,676 days,” he said one day in June. “Maybe the sun has gone up and down 1,676 times, but it’s all just one continuous day for us … Every morning you wake up and you put one foot in front of the other and you just make it through.”

It turned out Phillips wasn’t wrong when she offered confident promises of finding happiness. It was that two things could at once be true.

She had come so far in the space of a decade and yet, in some ways, nothing had changed. For all the therapy sessions, all the personal growth, all the disciplined work to rise from the suffocating depths of sadness, her daughter still was gone. The pace of killings only intensified. Instead of tighter gun laws, some states loosened them.

Exhausted, disgusted and impoverished, the Phillipses came to a radical conclusion: The country they’d pledged their loyalty to and spent their entire lives in had betrayed them.

“We had our daughter taken. We lost everything we had. And we lost our country,” Phillips says.

They rented a house an hour south of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the lakeside town of Ajijic. They continue their advocacy, but since Uvalde, haven’t returned to the road to visit shooting sites.

She is 73 now. He is 79. They know this is their final chapter. They want it to be a happy one.

The distance has been good. When a shooting happens in the U.S., they don’t rush to the TV. They eat at restaurants and don’t worry a gunman might intrude.

They walk carefree through a street market, where a lone guitarist croons and strawberries are perfectly stacked. When fireworks go off, they have no fear someone is firing a gun. In their yard, clementines and limes grow and plumerias rain from the trees. Fountains spout, hummingbirds and orioles dart and mountains rise in the background. They even have let Christmas return.

“We’re surrounded by beauty,” Phillips said, “and all in this moment is good.”

The next morning, though, the emotion rushed back. They were quietly sipping coffee on the patio when Sandy looked over at Lonnie and saw his eyes had welled with tears.

“I know, baby,” she said, and no one had to explain anything more.

Sometimes, Jessi visits in her dreams, usually appearing as a toddler. When Phillips awakes, she’ll squeeze her eyes closed and try and coax the vision to return. She begs for more.

“Let me feel her touch me,” she says.

“Let me feel her hug me. Let me feel her kiss me on the cheek again. Let me hear her laugh again. Let me hear her high heels coming up the walkway.”

Let me, she wishes, be happy.

N

o Aurora individuals or teams got to climb onto the medal podium at the end of the Class 5A boys state cross country meet Oct. 28, but there were some quality performances among locals.

The Norris Penrose Event Center course again proved a challenge on a brisk — but dry — day, with 21 competitors (full seven-runner teams from Cherokee Trail, Grandview and ReCROSS COUNTRY gis Jesuit) in the mix to represent the area.

The Wolves scored a total of 213 points, which was six clear of ThunderRidge for fifth after they were 13th last season.

Focht’s performance got Regis Jesuit (306) off to a good start, while seniors David Flaig and Caleb Aex finished 46th and 58th, respectively, for coach Chris Boyle’s 13th-place Raiders.

Cherokee Trail’s total of 404 points put it 18th among 20 scoring teams in the season following a sixth-place result. Coach Chris Faust’s team was led by sophomore Dylan Smith, who saw a significantly better performance in his second

Pallotta had the top individual result among locals as she crossed the finish line in 19 minutes, 19.4 seconds, which was good enough for 36th place. Both were significant improvements on her 2022 performance, which saw her run 19:48.84 and finish 51st. Danzer, meanwhile, made a significant jump in terms of time (running 19:52.2 Saturday in contrast to 20:12.96 in 2022), but only finished eight places higher in 69th. She was 85th as a sophomore.

Sandwiched between the two Regis Jesuit seniors came Cherokee Trail freshman Jade McDaniel, who finished in 66th overall.

I

n what appears to be a wide open Class 5A boys soccer state tournament — in which the No. 1 seed was ousted in the opening round — two Aurora teams remain alive among the eight remaining teams.

Ninth-seeded Regis Jesuit and 14th-seeded Cherokee Trail pulled off thrilling one-goal wins Oct. 31 in second round matchups, while 13th-seeded Aurora Central had a Cinderella run come to an end with a road defeat.

The Raiders and Cougars move on to quarterfinal matchups scheduled for Nov. 4 at Englewood High School and given that they are in opposite sides of the bracket, they could both make it BOYS SOCCER to the final if things went right.

No. 16 Liberty — which defeated No. 32 Lakewood in a shootout — in the quarterfinals.

Cherokee Trail (11-3-3) made it to the quarterfinals last season and earned a return with a defeat of Rampart in the second round for a second straight season.

Coach Mark Hill’s team got to the second round thanks to a stellar individual play by sophomore Vincent Tchoumba in the first round, which the Cougars won 1-0 in overtime over No. 19 Valor Christian Oct. 25. Late in the first extra session, Tchoumba — left arm bandaged after a bad fall onto the track surrounding the turf at Legacy Stadium — caused the Eagles’ goalie to flub a ball that was passed back and he scored into an empty net.

Against undfeated Rampart, Cherokee Trail fell behind by a goal at halftime, but got the equalizer from senior Bentley Sutherland-Arreola. The game remained deadlocked at 1-1 into the second overtime until senior Marcelo Ruiz put a free kick chance into the net to give the Cougars the victory.

Cherokee Trail’s quarterfinal matchup will be against No. 11 Legend.

Aurora Central had an outstanding season that included claiming the Colorado League championship and it also picked up its first postseason victory since 2015 when it topped No. 20 Fort Collins 2-0 Oct. 25 at APS Stadium.

Sophomore Anthony Cecina-Cervantes and senior Bertra Ishimwe scored second-half goals for coach Rudy Villalobos’ Trojans in the victory.

That earned then a shot against defending state champion an fourth-seeded Denver East in the second round.

The Angels scored in the opening minutes and held on deal Aurora Central (13-3-1) a 2-0 defeat.

The opening round saw two Aurora qualifiers go down to defeat.

Vista PEAK Prep (7-7-2), the No. 30 seed, got a goal from sophomore Angel Flores to take the lead on the road at Rampart, but allowed three unanswered goals in a 3-1 loss. Grandview, the No. 18 seed, played No. 14 Boulder to a scoreless tie at halftime before the Panthers netted four goals in the second half as the Wolves finished 7-6-3.

Down to two There’s quite a bit in the bit in the way of a potential meeting in the Nov. 11 state championship game at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs, but Regis Jesuit and Cherokee Trail have each earned two wins thus far and hold the belief that they could continue to advance.

Coach Rick Wolf’s RaidBY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor ers were feeling particularly good in the wake of a 1-0 defeat of postseason nemesis Cherry Creek in a second round game at chilly Stutler Bowl, as it in part avenged one-goal losses to the Bruins in the 2020 and 2022 postseasons.

Regis Jesuit (12-2-3) earned its first win in the postseason since its run to the 5A final in 2019 when it earned a 2-0 win against No. 24 Horizon Oct. 25, then followed that up with the victory over the Cherry Creek. Junior Jack De Simone had what turned out to be the only goal of the game when he leaped and deflected a clearing attempt by the Bruins’ goalie and the deflection ended up in the back of the net.

The Raiders survied a pressure-filled second half in which Cherry Creek had six corner kicks and some other set piece opportunities that were denied by its stellar defense. Regis Jesuit will face

City teams finish 4-7 to end regular season Week 10 of the prep football season served as a finale for seven Aurora teams, while four others got their final tune-ups for postseason play that begins Nov. 3.

City teams finished the week with a combined record of 4-7, which included victories for playoff-bound Cherokee Trail and Regis Jesuit along with Aurora Central and Vista PEAK Prep.

Regis Jesuit has caught fire in the final weeks of the season and earned its second straight win over a seven-win team with a 45-7 road win at Fountain-Fort Carson Oct. 27. The Raiders (who finished 6-4 overall and 4-1 in the Southern League) scored twice defensively on interception returns by Grayson McPherson and Kai Shelton, while Peyton Lindell threw touchdown passes to Anthony Medina and JoJo Hernandez.

Cherokee Trail followed up a Week 9 win over rival Grandview with a 350 victory over Smoky Hill Oct. 27 in a wet, cold night at Legacy Stadium.

Noah Collins rushed for 79 yards and got into the end zone twice for the Cougars (5-5 overall, 2-3 in Centennial League), while Ian Lee also had a touchdown. The Buffaloes finished the season 1-9 overall and 0-5 in the Centennial League.

Vista PEAK Prep wrapped a 4-6 season (1-3 in the 4A Southeast Metro) with its second straight win, a 35-28 victory over the Far Northeast Warriors in a snowy contest on the Evie Dennis Campus.

interception return TD. Aurora Central snapped a threegame losing streak with a 15-12 road win over Thornton Oct. 27 at Five-Star Stadium to finish 3-7 overall and 1-3 in the 4A Metro 2 league.

Grandview defeated Cherry Creek in Week 10 last season and the Wolves held a two-point lead in the second half as they tried to do it again, only to see the Bruins pile up 28 straight points in the third quarter to win 45-22. Liam Szarka had 277 total yards (181 passing, 96 rushing) and scored three touchdowns for Grandview, which finished 6-4 overall and 2-3 in the Centennial League.

Eaglecrest also had a Centennial League showdown to end the regular season and the Raptors slugged it out with Arapahoe before it fell 31-24 Oct. 26 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Joe Steiner threw three touchdown passes — all to Logan Ryan — and Cam Chapa had a rushing score for Eaglecrest, which finished 7-3 overall

and 2-3 in league.

Overland finished with a 5-5 record and 3-2 mark in the 5A Metro North League with a 44-20 loss to Doherty Oct. 27 at Stutler Bowl. Talil Seals-Fisher had a 73-yard touchdown pass to Zamari Stivers and Jarrius Ward broke off a 70-yard touchdown run for the Trailblazers.

FIELD HOCKEY

Regis Jesuit falls in OT in state quarterfinals Playing without two starting defenders eventually caught up to the Regis Jesuit field hockey team Oct. 27.

With two key backline members absent for service projects, the third-seeded Raiders still managed to keep No. 6 Denver East off the scoreboard for four quarters of their state quarterfinal playoff game at frigid Lou Kellogg Stadium, but they weren’t able to get a goal themselves in those 60 minutes. That left it up to golden goal overtime and fatigue finally crept in, especially with play going to a more taxing six-on-six format in the extra period. Regis Jesuit got quality possession early in the extra period, but Denver East got the gamebreaking play on a breakaway by leading scorer Vivian Leuthold for a 1-0 upset victory.

“There was no doubt I didn’t think we were going to win that game,” Wagner said. “If you look at statistics — shots, time of possession — everything was going in our favor in that game. The only thing that didn’t was the end result, and that can happen in sports. …It had never happened to us before, but probability says the odds will sometimes be against you.”

For the first time since 2017, the state championship game won’t include coach Spencer Wagner’s Raiders, who finished the season 10-4-2 overall. Regis Jesuit — which had made at least the semifinals in every season since 2016 — won state championships in 2018, 2020 and 2021, while it lost in the title game in 2019 and 2022.
