Nothing says ‘I care’ — really care — like spreading around a little democracy, and cash

O

DAVE PERRY Editor

f course you want your holiday gifts to not just draw some “ooohs” and “wows,” but you’re looking for the perfect gift that really does keep on giving.

Nothing says “I really care” like giving the gift of democracy.

We know how much you care about the health of U.S. democracy, and how worried so many people near and far worry about it.

As you might have read this week in the Sentinel, a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 62% of adults say democracy in the U.S. could be at risk.”

Experts from all political ranks, going back to the Founding Fathers, agree three critical things protect democracy: accountability, transparency and a vibrant and free press.

Last week, reporter Kristin Oh at the Sentinel shone a light on school board members from across the state holding what should have been local public school board meetings in Colorado Springs. They met on local matters during an annual statewide convention as a matter of convenience — for them, not the public.

Just days earlier, the Colorado Court of Appeals decided unanimously that the Sentinel was correct in accusing the Aurora City Council of making an important decision on whether to censure a city council member, illegally in a closed meeting.

And the Sentinel cover story last week shines light on a city controversy about whether privatizing Aurora’s public defender unit is an effort to save tax dollars. Critics say it’s a disingenuous effort to undermine the Constitutional rights of poor people of color accused of crimes by a police department under state scrutiny for mistreating poor people of color.

Also last week, the city was host to a visit by El Salvador Vice President Félix Ulloa. Aurora is home to a large Salvadoran community, which the Sentinel has written about during the past few years. Ulloa wanted to talk about that nation’s unique efforts to adopt bitcoin as an economic solution to the violence torn nation. The Sen-

tinel however, and other local news media, including the local Spanish language newspaper El Comercio, wanted Ulloa to answer questions about more pressing issues. El Salvador suspended its constitution in a state of emergency because of astonishing gang violence and murders.

Ulloa repeated national claims that more than 500 days have now passed since that nation has had a single homicide. Just two years ago, El Salvador was given the dubious moniker as the murder capital of the world.

Ulloa refused to answer reporter questions about proof of his murderless nation’s claims, about tens of thousands of people sent to a massive gangster prison without due process and how leaders will ensure democracy there continues without a working constitution.

The Sentinel and El Comercio wrote about Salvadoran problems anyway.

This nation’s defenders and Founding Fathers knew that democracy is stronger — and only possible — under the scrutiny of a free and strong press.

You can’t find that on Amazon or the department store.

But you can have it delivered faithfully every day online, in your E-mail box — and if you like, at home in your mailbox.

Give the gift that you can see every day just how much gives back to you, by giving as little as $5 today or $5 per month, or more.

We can do our part to strengthen democracy. You can do your part with a gift to the Sentinel that treats yourself, or someone else.

It’s fast, easy and secure. Just go to SentinelShares. com or send your contribution check to Sentinel Colorado, 2600 South Parker Road Suite 4-141 Aurora, CO 80014.

Then, have yourself a very merry democracy. We all will.

Top state court makes clear why Trump can’t run for president

D

onald Trump can run for president, even as a felon who stole some of the nation’s most sensitive classified documents.

Trump can run for president as a man whose lies are so profound and so prolific that even after counting and documenting tens of thousands of deceits, the world lost count.

Trump can run for president as a man who was forced to pay a woman millions when a jury concluded he sexually assaulted her and then slandered her.

Trump can run for president even though he tried to force Georgia officials to undermine the 2020 presidential election process in that state and cheat citizens who voted against him.

Trump can run for president as a racist, who once said an Indiana born judge in California could not take part in a case involving Trump’s border wall because he was “Mexican.”

Trump can run for president even though he has repeatedly bashed Muslims and Muslim Americans, inciting racism and hate.

Trump can run for president amidst his increasingly extremist vulgar and dangerous racist rhetoric, calling people of color immigrating to the United States “vermin” and repeatedly insisting minority immigrants are “poisoning the nation’s blood.”

Trump can even run for president from a prison cell, if justice is finally served against him for the growing catalog of crimes he’s committed.

But Trump cannot run for president because he incited and participated in an insurrection against the U.S. government on Jan. 6, 2021.

The U.S. Constitution clearly bars anyone who’s participated in or led an insurrection against the United States government from running for any office — any office, every office, for president — Colorado Supreme Court justices agreed, according to an Associated Press story this week.

“Siding with attorneys for six Colorado Republican and unaffiliated voters who argued that it was nonsensical to imagine that the framers of the amendment, fearful of former confederates returning to power, would bar them from low-level offices but not the highest one in the land,” according to a Dec. 19 story.

“President Trump asks us to hold that Section 3 disqualifies every oath breaking insurrectionist except the most powerful one, and that it bars oath-breakers from virtually every office, both state and federal, except the highest one in the land,” the court’s majority opinion said. “Both results are inconsistent with the plain language and history of Section 3.”

Most likely, it was simply unthinkable to post-CivilWar legislators that anyone who had participated in an insurrection, as Trump has, would have the temerity to even consider running for president.

No one could have anticipated anything like Trump.

Given the long list of egregious behaviors that don’t preclude someone running for the nation’s top office, it shines a light on the one person considered too dangerous to be president: an insurrectionist.

And that’s Donald Trump, singled out for being ineligible for the 2024 presidential ballot.

Do voters even care that the House is broken beyond prepare?

W

hen word spread that the MAGA-infested House of Representatives had formally voted to launch an impeachment probe of President Biden, I was reminded of a scene in Alice in Wonderland, the one where the Queen of Hearts tried to rig a jury trial.

“Sentence first!” she declared. “Verdict afterward!”

The House is even worse. Its battle cry is investigate first, evidence afterward.

The chamber’s nutjobs, led by a religious fanatic who likens himself to Moses, don’t have a scintilla of anything that warrants a formal probe.

In the words of Republican Senator Mike Rounds of South Dakota, the House needs “a strong case before they actually do an impeachment inquiry.

Otherwise, they can be seen as crying wolf.”

But that’s OK with the loons who’ve driven the House into disrepair. They’re only interested in ginning up (phony) stories for the right-wing infauxtainment complex and giving the MAGA hordes something new to drool about. When Troy Nehls of Texas was asked to list the evidence of Biden’s high crimes and misdemeanors, he replied: “All I can say is, Donald J. Trump 2024, baby.”

As for Mike Johnson, the House Speaker and aforementioned religious fanatic, here’s what he believed back in 2019: “You can’t impeach a president because you don’t like him. That’s not how this system works. We’re in a constitutional Republic. You don’t have to the right to do it.” But now, armed with amended marching orders texted to him by God, he fervently believes what he formerly opposed.

Indeed, with Trump in the docket as a criminal defendant, what better way to muddy the waters than to insinuate that the purported “Biden crime family” is somehow worse than their Sun God? And turning the House into a de facto Fox News studio is heckuva lot easier than doing the hard job of governance, which this ship of fools clearly has no interest in.

Yeah, governance.

That strikes me as an important feature of the job – especially now, with so much stuff languishing on the to-do list. For instance, there’s the crucial emergency aid money for Ukraine; aid money for

Israel; humanitarian money for Gaza; border legislation; the farm law, up for renewal, that helps rural America’s agricultural and food aid programs; the annual fund-the-government bills that were supposed to be passed months ago but are still held hostage by the nutjobs as the House careens from one shutdown crisis to the next…all of which require actual work, as opposed to dishing out soundbites for the saps.

I need not review all the reasons why the chamber has sunk to this level of dysfunction. It’s sufficient to connect the dots back to 2010 – in retrospect, a pivotal year in politics – when the national GOP shrewdly focused on winning state legislative races and succeeded beyond all expectations. (Naturally, the national Democrats, with a dearth of foresight, were asleep at the switch.) Propelled by that year’s red wave, the new state GOP lawmakers redrew congressional district maps, creating and gerrymandering scores of safe Republican seats.

It’s gotten to the point that Republicans in those districts now worry about one thing only: getting primaried by people more MAGA-batty than them.

Plus, of course, we have the MAGA war on factual reality – as best explained by Steve Bannon, who says duh movement’s big goal is to “flood the zone with s—.” The phony impeachment probe is merely the latest Exhibit A. Republicans are hoping that the smoke they pump out about Joe and Hunter will somehow paint them as worse than Trump (despite his 91 felony charges, and a corrupt company that has already been found guilty of tax fraud and bank fraud). And given what we know about huge swaths of the American public, the MAGA strategists have grounds for hope.

The big question is whether enough voters in 2024 will have sufficient awareness to return House Republicans to minority status, where they languished while Nancy Pelosi got stuff done. Because what we have now, to borrow underdog Harry Truman’s successful 1948 battle cry, is “a do-nothing Congress.”

Or, as Alice said to the Queen of Hearts, “Stuff and nonsense!”

Moment of truth coming for Republican presidential candidates

F

ollowing last week’s fourth – and final – 2024 presidential debate sanctioned by the Republican National Committee, increased attention has turned to the continued presence of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and whether it’s time for both to stand aside in the larger interest of solidifying support behind an alternative to former president Donald Trump.

To the dismay and concern of many Republicans, the discussion may be academic, an exercise in what might have been and an examination of how Trump captured the party and created a cult of personality that has remained resolute in the face of criminal indictments and trials.

There is growing resignation the former president’s 30 to 40 point lead un current polls has created an aura of inevitability, that the nomination has been locked down before the first caucuses convene or the first ballots cast.

Time is growing short – the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary are little more than a month away – with Trump holding a commanding lead in both.

The window of opportunity for the anti-Trump forces is closing rapidly, propelled by a fervent, unshakeable base of support that renders a decision by the challengers to remain or abandon their quest of no consequence.

Neither former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – both of whom occupy stronger positions than Christie or Ramaswamy – have shown any indication they intend to end their campaigns.

Christie has vowed to remain in the race through the New Hampshire primary, hoping for a respectable third place finish and remaining viable. Ramaswamy intends to stay in the running to joyously wreak havoc, bask in the attention and comfort his ego.

History is instructive here. Christie entered the race in June; Ramaswamy in February. In the latest Real Clear Politics polling average, Ramaswamy is at five percent and Christie at three percent. Trump

is at 60 percent. After months of campaigning, both remain statistically tied in single digits and a path to the nomination doesn’t exist.

Haley has risen to a solid second place – albeit some 30 points behind Trump – and tied nationally with DeSantis. She trails DeSantis by three points in Iowa, but leads him by 11 points in New Hampshire and nine points in South Carolina.

Supporters point to her electability in matchup polling, where she outperforms both Trump and DeSantis against President Joe Biden. She also outdistances Trump in appealing to moderate voters.

Christie is an accomplished campaigner, insightful on the issues, devastating in his rhetorical barbs at Trump, and articulate in expressing his vision and philosophy. Unfortunately, his single issue campaign – defeating Trump – has grown stale, appealing to a small slice of the Republican electorate while alienating the majority.

Ramaswamy is an embarrassment, and with each debate has descended ever deeper into irrelevancy.

He’s characterized the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol as “an inside job,” suggested that Federal agents were on board the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on 9/11, and claimed the 2020 presidential election was stolen by “Big Tech.”

Christie seemingly had his fill of Ramaswamy at the most recent debate, calling him “the most obnoxious blowhard in America.”

Should Christie depart and endorse Haley, his action would be impactful. While his unceasing assault on Trump has earned him the enmity of the Trump base, support for Haley would demonstrate a higher principle.

Ramaswamy, like all self-centered fools, will continue to play the role of national embarrassment.

In the absence of significant upward movement

by Haley or DeSantis, though, Trump will be the bitter but inevitable pill to swallow for the Republican Party.

IT’S A WRAP: Give the gift of local news this holiday season

T

oday would have been my dad’s 82nd birthday. He was an art teacher in Jefferson County schools and people often said he reminded them of Mr. Rogers.

My dad did care about his neighborhood.

My sister and I didn’t always find the right gift for our dad for his birthday or Christmas. Once, when we were in elementary school, we rewrapped the wallet we had previously given him. In our defense, we were kids. And gift giving is hard.

Because Dad was always concerned about the kind of world his grandchildren would inherit, I bet I know what would have been on his birthday and Christmas wish list today. (And it wouldn’t be another wallet!) He would have wanted some of the same things that I, and probably you, and many others wish we could have this year: A less polarized society. More trust and understanding. The ability to see our neighbors’ humanity.

Research shows all those things are more likely when a community has quality local news. And that’s exactly our mission at the Colorado News Collaborative: We help over 180 news outlets statewide — including the Aurora Sentinel — work together to make communities stronger through stronger local news.

So whether you’re searching for gifts to give or responding to inquiries about your own wish list, I have an idea that could take care of all your holiday shopping and that of your family and friends, too.

Make a donation to the Sentinel, or another local paper, in someone’s honor, then let them know you’ve done it. Or when people ask what you want, suggest they do that for you.

I’ll even help you with wrapping. Simply give them a note that says: For the holidays this year, I made a donation to the Sentinel in your honor. This makes communities stronger by making local news stronger. Research shows quality local news makes the things we all want for our communities more likely: Less polarization. More civic involvement. More efficient government. More trust and understanding.

That’s what I’m doing…in memory of my dad.

AURORA COUNCIL DEFERS VOTE ON STOPGAP FUNDING FOR HOMELESSNESS SERVICES UNTIL FEBRUARY

BY MAX LEVY, Sentinel Staff Writer

Mikhail Smith peers into a pipe at a future construction site, where there was a report of a homeless camp April 21 in Aurora. Smith is on the Street Outreach Team for Mile High Behavioral Health, which provides services to the homeless community in the metro region. Homeless activist say looming city budget cuts will greatly impact their ability to provide services.

u rora’s City Council on Monday put off decisions on whether to use unspent COVID-19 relief money to sustain food and shelter programs serving the city’s homeless, as service providers brace for funding cuts.

Last month, the council rejected the suggestion by Councilmember Alison Coombs that it tap other city funds to offset the impacts of a multi-million dollar reduction in the grants that the city offers to support homelessness services. The reduction reflects falling marijuana tax revenues as well as the end of pandemic-specific grants received by the city.

While agencies have warned that the shortfall will jeopardize programs like Mile High Behavioral Healthcare’s cold-weather shelter and meal services, as well as the Pallet shelters operated by the Salvation Army, Councilmember Francoise Bergan on Monday insisted service providers likely have the money to continue to keep up their current programs through mid-2024.

“I think it’s quite the exaggeration to say that we are going to have people dying in the

streets, and that we are basically not funding them when we did fund them. We did not fund them to the level that we have in the past,” she said. “All we are saying is that we would like to re-examine the different requests … at the Feb. 3 workshop.”

Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky suggested that the council postpone the votes on using about $1.6 million in available American Rescue Plan Act funds to soften the shortfall, which totals more than $2.5 million.

Coombs warned that by not figuring out other funding sources before the cuts start to be felt in January, the council would be endangering the lives of Aurora’s homeless residents.

“If we move this to February, these providers are going to cut the programs as we’re entering the coldest part of the year, and people are going to go without shelter,” Coombs said. “We are making a choice to ignore our obligation to take care of people, to make sure they’re housed, to make sure that people have food and that they don’t, frankly, die in the cold.”

Mayor Mike Coffman said that he also had a proposal for funding homelessness ser-

vices, but that proposal was not discussed in detail. He later clarified that this was in reference to the expectation that service providers operating out of a proposed central campus for homelessness programs in Aurora will help raise funds to pay for the running of the facility.

The council voted 7-3 to postpone the decision until its Feb. 3 winter workshop, with Coffman, Coombs and Ruben Medina opposed. Councilmember Crystal Murillo was absent Monday.

Also on Monday, the council: Voted 8-1 to appoint Dennis Lyon, Joshua Rodriguez, Glenton Muller, Alex Ortiz and Margaret Booker to the governing board of the Murphy Creek No. 3 Metropolitan District, with Alison Coombs voting “no” and Crystal Murillo absent.

Agreed to change the scheduling of future council meetings so that study sessions will take place on the same day as regular meetings at 5:15 p.m. rather than 6:30 p.m., while regular meetings are pushed from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.

COPS AND COURTS

Media banned from Brighton courtroom hallway after Elijah McClain juror incident An Adams County District Court judge on Dec. 18 prohibited photography and media activity in the hallway outside of the courtroom where two Aurora paramedics are on trial for their roles in the death of Elijah McClain.

The expansion of an order which barred cameras and other electronic devices inside of the courtroom came after journalists allegedly tried to ask the defendants and other parties to the case questions in the hallway. An unknown journalist also allegedly approached a juror who was shopping and invited them to talk once the trial has concluded.

“This action is a direct invitation for the juror to ignore the Court’s repeated order not to speak with anyone about the case and (is) an invitation for contempt proceedings,” the order from 17th Judicial District Court Judge Mark Warner reads in part.

“If the Court becomes aware of an intentional act in violation of the orders and instructions to the jury, the Court may initiate contempt proceedings.”

While the order acknowledges the importance of protecting the public’s ability to watch criminal trials, it describes the right of defendants to a fair trial as “the highest priority” of the court and distinguishes between granting access to the public and allowing unrestricted media coverage.

The expanded order prohibits audio and video recording in the hallway outside of Courtrooms 401 and 402 as well as photography, interviews and requests for interviews in the same area. It notes that the order will be enforced regardless of whether a person suspected of violating it is a journalist or not.

“The Court finds that the hallway in front of Courtrooms 401 and 402 is a reasonable extension of the courtroom itself during trial,” the order says. “Any person who violates this order shall be removed from the premises and the device(s) may be confiscated and/or the person may be subject to contempt of Court.”

Rob McCallum, a spokesman for the Colorado Judicial Department, also scolded news outlets in an email sent Monday morning to journalists that included a copy of the order.

He asked the recipients to share any information they had about the alleged inappropriate conduct and encouraged the unnamed individual who may have approached the juror to take responsibility for their actions.

“I find this to be egregious behavior, and am surprised and concerned. You all know jurors are off limits until released from service, and even then they rarely want to discuss their jury service,” McCallum wrote.

EST. EST.1989 1989 “This is completely unacceptable, and whomever made this rogue decision either knows better and didn’t care about potentially causing a mistrial, or didn’t know better and needs to be assigned to a beat not involving anything as sensitive or serious as a trial. So, one rotten apple spoils the lot.”

Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics Peter Cichuniec and Jeremy Cooper have been charged with manslaughter, criminally-negligent homicide and assault in connection with the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, who died after being confronted by police as he was walking home from a store.

Cichuniec and Cooper injected McClain with an overdose of the sedative drug ketamine after the 23-year-old had been choked by police. An amended autopsy report released last year by the coroner for Adams and Broomfield counties concluded that McClain “would most likely be alive but for the administration of ketamine.”

Opening arguments in Cichuniec and Cooper’s trial began Nov. 29.

The trial is expected to last most of December.

In October and November, two of the three cops charged in McClain’s death, Jason Rosenblatt and Nathan Woodyard, were acquitted of charges, while a third, Randy Roedema, was convicted of criminally-negligent homicide and third-degree assault.

Man who killed Aurora mom, daughter in 2022 head-on crash convicted of vehicular homicide An Aurora man accused of driving drunk last year and causing a head-on crash that killed a mother and her daughter was convicted yesterday of vehicular homicide and a host of additional charges, according to prosecutors.

Juan Pablo Pascual-Licea, 32, was found guilty on multiple charges after he killed two people in one family and critically injured two more, according to a statement from the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

The jury deliberated for less than two hours before returning guilty verdicts for two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of vehicular assault, and one count of child abuse, knowingly/recklessly causing serious bodily injury.

“In the blink of an eye, a family is torn apart by the selfish actions of someone who chose to drive drunk and endanger multiple lives,” Senior Deputy DA Meghan Gallo said in the statement. “As a mother, I cannot imagine the heartbreak, grief, and devastation this family has suffered.

It was a privilege to prosecute this case and bring justice to this family.”

were driving back home after celebrating the daughter’s birthday.

Pascual-Licea was driving more than 80 mph in the wrong direction on Chambers Road when he collided with the family’s car, according to the press release. The crash occurred near East Sixth Avenue.

The son and his father suffered serious injuries, but they ultimately survived. The mother and the daughter were pronounced dead at the hospital.

Investigators with the Aurora Police Department discovered that Pascual-Licea also hit a bicyclist and then nearly hit a group of teenagers in a crosswalk, according to the release.

Pascual-Licea’s blood alcohol level was reported at being .181, more than double the legal limit, when it was tested nearly an hour after the crash.

“There is no excuse or justification for the defendant’s egregious actions that night,” Senior Deputy DA Doug Bechtel said in the press release. “A father woke up several days later in a hospital bed, only to learn his wife and daughter were dead, and his son would have to

Pascual-Licea is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 15.

El Salvador veep talks up his country’s safety and Bitcoin during Aurora visit The vice president of El Salvador touted his beleaguered country’s progress while visiting Aurora.

Vice President Félix Ulloa and city officials held a networking event Wednesday where he spoke at length about how his country has improved and pitched investment opportunities to community members. Ulloa will also attend a reception Wednesday evening, which is hosted by Mayor Mike Coffman.

In 2021, an estimated 2.5 million Hispanics with Salvadoran origin – including people who immigrated from El Salvador and people

who can trace their family ancestry to the county – live in the United States according to a report from the Pew Research Center. Most of the Salvadoran immigrant population is concentrated in California, Texas, Maryland, New York and Virginia.

During the networking event, Ulloa boasted his country’s low homicide rate. What was once dubbed the “murder capital of the world,” Ulloa claimed that El Salvador has not seen a homicide in approximately 500 days. However, a news report updated on Dec. 10 stated that the national police reported 142 homicides from Jan. 1 to Dec. 9. The homicide data does not include the deaths of alleged gang members who have died during confrontation with law enforcement. U.S. News and World Report set that number at 600 in January.

The nation has for months been under a state of emergency and tens of thousands of people accused of gang affiliation have been incarcerated.

Ulloa did not take questions from the media during or directly after his presentation.

Ulloa also spoke at length about the county’s use of bitcoin.

El Salvador is the first country in the world to recognize bitcoin as legal tender.

Last week, the county repaid one of two outstanding $800 million bonds, the country’s treasury minister announced, pushing back worries the government could default amid its decision to make the volatile cryptocurrency bitcoin legal tender.

Treasury Minister Alejandro Zelaya tweeted on Monday night that the government had completed payment on a bond that was due to mature this week. “El Salvador meets its debt obligations,” he wrote.

The government still owes $367 million plus interest on an $800 million bond maturing in January 2025.

The country’s treasury minister said his office paid back $196 million of the debt last year through the partial buyback of the bond maturing this week. The debt was issued by previous administrations in 1999 and 2004.

Earlier this month, El Salvador reached a deal with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration for a $350 million loan. It wasn’t clear if that loan helped the government pay off the bond.

In a Jan. 5 statement, the bank said it was “to strengthen the administration of government revenues and expenses through measures to reduce the tax gap and increase tax collection, as well as reduce smuggling and tax evasion.”

In January of last year, the International Monetary Fund asked the government to reverse its decision to make bitcoin legal tender.

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele refused and the government has invested more than $106 million in the cryptocurrency, whose value plunged last year.

Ulloa’s visits are a part of an effort to “strengthen diplomatic, economic and cultural ties between Aurora and El Salvador,” according to a press statement from the city.

According to a 2018 report from Aurora Sister Cities International, Salvadorans were the third largest foreign-born population in the city. At the time of the report, over 3,000 Salvadorans lived in Aurora.

Aurora firefighters continue mopping up five-alarm blaze that torched construction site

COLORADO NEWS 24/7

visit CPR.ORG

Firefighters were still extinguishing hot spots in the ruins of a partially-built apartment complex on Dec. 18, following a weekend fire that engulfed the structure at East Colfax Avenue and Peoria Street.

Aurora Fire Rescue spokesman Carlos Oropeza told reporters gathered at a park across the street that the structure was too unsafe for investigators to enter to begin searching for the cause of the fire in person. He gestured toward the site and said part of the building had collapsed just a few hours prior.

“There’s so much damage and

such a big collapse hazard that we haven’t actually sent in any personnel for the investigation,” Oropeza said.

As of Dec. 18, firefighters were flying drones equipped with infrared cameras over the site to identify still-smoldering portions of the fire and gather whatever information they could from a safe distance.

Aurora Fire Rescue first responded to the blaze at about 12:45 p.m. on Saturday. As the fire spread, responding firefighters were forced to call for help from surrounding jurisdictions, including units based as far away as Bennett and Watkins. As many as 42 units arrived from around the Denver metro area on Saturday to render aid.

Oropeza said Aurora Fire Rescue believes a construction crew was present when the fire was sparked but that all of the workers were evacuated safely. While embers at one point flew toward residential structures, he said no other residences were impacted. The fire was mostly extinguished by 5 p.m., according to fire officials Oropeza said no relationship has been established between the fivealarm fire and a three-alarm fire that damaged an apartment complex in southeast Aurora last week, although he said the latter fire was being investigated as a possible crime.

The surrounding roadway would remain closed for “the foreseeable future,” Oropeza said, and utilities are still shut off in the immediate area of the complex.

He said heavy equipment would be used to knock down the remaining walls but that the determination of how much of the structure could be salvaged will be part of the investigation process.

“We anticipate continuing to chase these hot spots for another day or so, at least, and dealing with the collapse hazard,” he said.

First responders fought the fire from the E-470 interstate on the east side, as well as on the west and north sides of the site.

A total of five apartment units were destroyed in the fire. No injuries were reported. The investigation remains open. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will assist with the investigation by supplying heavy equipment that will be helpful in digging out the debris and determining the origin and cause, according to the press release.

As foundation for ‘Excited Delirium’ diagnosis cracks, fallout spreads When Angelo Quinto’s family learned that officials blamed his 2020 death on “excited delirium,” a term they had never heard before, they couldn’t believe it. To them, it was obvious the science behind the diagnosis wasn’t real.

Quinto, 30, had been pinned on the ground for at least 90 seconds by police in California and stopped breathing. He died three days later.

Now his relatives are asking a federal judge to exclude any testimony about “excited delirium” in their wrongful death case against the city of Antioch. Their case may be stronger than ever.

Their push comes at the end of a pivotal year for the long-standing, nationwide effort to discard the use of excited delirium in official proceedings. Over the past 40 years, the discredited, racially biased theory has been used to explain away police culpability for many in-custody deaths. But in October, the American College of Emergency Physicians disavowed a key paper that seemingly gave it scientific legitimacy, and the College of American Pathologists said it should no longer be cited as a cause of death.

That same month, California’s Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the nation’s first law to ban the term “excited delirium” as a diagnosis and cause of death on death certificates, autopsy reports, and police reports. Legislators in other states are expected to consider similar bills next year, and some law enforcement agencies and training organizations have dropped references to excited delirium from their policy manuals and pulled back from training police on the debunked theory.

Despite all that momentum, families, attorneys, policing experts, and doctors say much remains to be done to correct the mistakes of the past, to ensure justice in ongoing trials, and to prevent avoidable

deaths in the future. But after years of fighting, they’re heartened to see any movement at all.

“This entire thing, it’s a nightmare,” said Bella Collins, Angelo’s sister. “But there are silver linings everywhere, and I feel so fortunate to be able to see change happening.”

Ultimately, the national campaign against excited delirium seeks to transform the way police deal with people undergoing mental health crises.

“This is really about saving lives,” said Joanna Naples-Mitchell, an attorney who worked on an influential Physicians for Human Rights review of excited delirium.

Changing Law Enforcement Training The use of the term “excited delirium syndrome” became pervasive after the American College of Emergency Physicians published a white paper on it in 2009. It proposed that individuals in a mental health crisis, often under the influence of drugs or alcohol, can exhibit superhuman strength as police try to control them, and then die suddenly from the condition, not the police response.

The ACEP white paper was significant in catalyzing police training and policy, said Marc Krupanski, director of criminal justice and policing at Arnold Ventures, one of the largest nonprofit funders of criminal justice policy. The theory contrib-

uted to deaths, he said, because it encouraged officers to apply greater force rather than call medical professionals when they saw people in aggressive states.

After George Floyd’s 2020 death, which officers blamed on excited delirium, the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association formally rejected it as a medical condition.

Then came disavowals from the National Association of Medical Examiners and the emergency physicians’ and pathologists’ groups this year.

The moves by medical societies to renounce the term have already had tangible, albeit limited, effects.

In November, Lexipol, a training organization used by thousands of public safety agencies in the U.S., reiterated its earlier move away from excited delirium, citing the California law and ACEP’s retraction of the 2009 white paper.

Lexipol now guides officers to rely on what they can observe, and not to guess at a person’s mental status or medical condition, said Mike Ranalli, a lawyer and police trainer with the Texas-based group. “If somebody appears to be in distress, just get the EMS,” he said, referring to emergency medical services.

Patrick Caceres, a senior investigator at the Bay Area Rapid Transit’s Office of the Independent Police Auditor, successfully pushed to remove excited delirium from the BART Police Department’s policy manual after learning about Quin-

to’s death in 2020 and seeing the American Medical Association’s rejection of it the following year.

Caceres fears that rooting out the concept — not just the term — more broadly will take time in a country where law enforcement is spread across roughly 18,000 agencies governed by independent police chiefs or sheriffs.

“The kinds of training and the kinds of conversations that need to happen, we’re still a long way away from that,” said Caceres.

In Tacoma, Washington, where three police officers have been charged with the 2020 death of Manuel Ellis, The Seattle Times reported that local first responders testified as recently as October that they still “embrace” the concept.

After Elijah McClain death, Colorado changes In Colorado, the state’s Peace Officer Standards and Training board ruled on Dec. 1 to drop excited delirium training for new law enforcement officers, KUSA-TV reported.

And two Colorado lawmakers, Democratic state Reps. Judy Amabile and Leslie Herod, have drafted a bill for the 2024 legislative session banning excited delirium from other police and EMS training and prohibiting coroners from citing it as a ›› See METRO, 10

cause of death.

“This idea that it gives you superhuman strength causes the police to think they should respond in a way that is often completely inappropriate for what’s actually happening,” Amabile said. “It just seems obvious that we should stop doing that.”

The changes come after the death of Aurora McClain at the hands of police and paramedics who pointed to excited delirium at the time of his death.

Prosecutors are currently in a manslaughter case against two Aurora paramedics who have said an overdose of ketamine given Elijah McClain in 2019 was connected to a “diagnosis” of excited delirium.

Amabile said she would like police to focus more on de-escalation tactics, and make sure 911 calls for people in mental health crisis are routed to behavioral health professionals who are part of crisis intervention teams.

Taking ‘Excited Delirium’ Out of the Equation As the Quinto family seeks justice in the death of the 30-year-old Navy veteran, they are hopeful the new refutations of excited delirium will bolster their wrongful death lawsuit against the city of Antioch.

On the other side, defense lawyers have argued that jurors should hear testimony about the theory.

On Oct. 26, the family cited both the new California law and the ACEP rebuke of the diagnosis when it asked a U.S. District Court judge in California to exclude witness testimony and evidence related to excited delirium, saying it “cannot be accepted as a scientifically valid diagnosis having anything to do with Quinto’s death.”

succeed,” family attorney Ben Nisenbaum said. “It can succeed by giving jurors an excuse to give the cops a way out of this.”

Meanwhile, advocates are calling for a reexamination of autopsies of those who died in law enforcement custody, and families are fighting to change death certificates that blame excited delirium.

The Maryland attorney general’s office is conducting an audit of autopsies under the tenure of former chief medical examiner David Fowler, who has attributed various deaths to excited delirium. But that’s just one state reviewing a subset of its in-custody deaths.

The family of Alexander Rios, 28, reached a $4 million settlement with Richland County, Ohio, in 2021 after jail officers piled on Rios and shocked him until he turned blue and limp in September 2019. During a criminal trial against one of the officers that ended in a mistrial this November, the pathologist who helped conduct Rios’ autopsy testified that her supervisor pressured her to list “excited delirium” as the cause of death even though she didn’t agree. Still, excited delirium remains his official cause of death.

The county refused to update the record, so his relatives are suing to force a change to his official cause of death. A trial is set for May. Changing the death certificate will be a form of justice, but it won’t undo the damage his death has caused, said Don Mould, Rios’ stepfather, who is now helping to raise one of Rios’ three children.

“Here is a kid that’s life is upside down,” he said. “No one should go to jail and walk in and not be able to walk out.”

In some cases, death certificates may be hard to refile. Quinto’s family has asked a state judge to throw out the coroner’s findings about his 2020 death. But the California law, which takes effect in January and bans excited delirium on death certificates, cannot be applied retroactively, said Contra Costa County Counsel Thomas Geiger in a court filing.

And, despite the 2023 disavowals by the main medical examiners’ and pathologists’ groups, excited delirium — or a similar explanation — could still show up on future autopsy reports outside California.

No single group has authority over the thousands of individual medical examiners and coroners, some of whom work closely with law enforcement officials. The system for determining a cause of death is deeply disjointed and chronically

underfunded.

“One of the unfortunate things, at least within forensic pathology, is that many things are very piecemeal,” said Anna Tart, a member of the Forensic Pathology Committee of the College of American Pathologists. She said that CAP plans to educate members through conferences and webinars but won’t discipline members who continue to use the term.

Justin Feldman, principal research scientist with the Center for Policing Equity, said that medical examiners need even more pressure and oversight to ensure that they don’t find other ways to attribute deaths caused by police restraint to something else.

Only a minority of deaths in police custody now cite excited delirium, he said. Instead, many deaths are being blamed on stimulants, even though fatal cocaine or methamphetamine overdoses are rare in the absence of opioids.

Yet advocates are hopeful that this year marks enough of a turning point that alternative terms will have less traction.

The California law and ACEP decision take “a huge piece of junk science out of the equation,” said Julia Sherwin, a California civil rights attorney who co-authored the Physicians for Human Rights report.

Sherwin is representing the family of Mario Gonzalez, who died in police custody in 2021, in a lawsuit against the city of Alameda, California. Excited delirium doesn’t appear on Gonzalez’s death certificate, but medical experts testifying for the officers who restrained him cited the theory in depositions.

She said she plans to file a motion excluding the testimony about excited delirium in that upcoming case and similar motions in all the restraint-asphyxia cases she handles.

“And, in every case, lawyers around the country should be doing that,” Sherwin said.

f you travel along the Havana corridor, you’ve undoubtedly seen a Seoul Hospitality business or two.

J.W. Lee has made a point of establishing a cadre of signature establishments along Havana Street, which some have dubbed a top-ten cultural fare destination across the country.

From Coffee Story to Thanksool Pocha, a Korean Nightlife spot with premium cocktails, and all the in-between, J.W. has brought Korean cuisine to the forefront in Aurora. He began with acquiring Seoul Korean BBQ and Sushi 10 years ago and built his local empire of 10 establishments within the city, now owning 20 restaurants across the US. Tofu Story, his newest restaurant, makes organic tofu in house the old fashioned way, producing the soybean product several times a day. There is one other Tofu Story owned and operated by Seoul Hospitality, located in Queens, NY. The menu offers much more than just tofu dishes, including a bevy of hot pot options and other traditional Korean fare, most of which can incorporate its staple ingredient.

J.W., an immigrant from South Korea, has lived in the US for 25 years and Aurora for 11. He noticed that there were few makers of traditional organic tofu so he researched where he could get homegrown organic soybeans, and he ships them from Minnesota. He also bought a tofu machine from South Korea to make the product in the Tofu Lab inside of Tofu Story. “We go through about 300 pounds of soybeans a day,” J.W. said.

Light of the party

This image provided by Paula Lavender Tucker shows three blue hand-dyed marbleized candles.

FOR A HOLIDAY CRAFT THAT CREATES LIGHT, TRY MAKING MARBLED CANDLES BY HAND

BY JENNIFER FORKER, Associated Press

C

andles, already an integral part of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and New Year’s Eve, can be made even more special when they carry a personal touch. Try marbleizing them by hand, or simply using candlelight in creative ways.

Paula Lavender Tucker of Bellows Falls, Vermont, started marbleizing simple white candles about five years ago.

Before that, she marbleized quilt fabrics.

Both are for sale at her Etsy site, HippyDippyDyed.

Her marbleizing process is simple and inexpensive, and the results are mighty (directions below).

“You want to think about using contrasting colors,” says Lavender Tucker.

“Black and white are a stunning combination.”

She recommends learning how to marbleize candles with only two or three colors, and the holidays carry traditional color combinations: red, green and white for Christmas; blue and white for Hanukkah; red, green and black for Kwanzaa; and black, white and gold, or dark blue, light blue and white for New Year’s Eve.

SCENE SETTERS

BEYOND CANDLES Directions:

One easy way to display holiday candles is to wrap a small Mason or jelly jar with ribbon and insert a small pillar candle inside, says Oma Blaise Ford, executive editor of Better Homes & Gardens magazine. Accent them with seasonal items such as a small pine cone and a sprig of evergreen.

“You can customize the display for whatever holidays you’re celebrating,” she says.

While marbleized candles — tapers, pillars or spheres — can decorate the home for Kwanzaa, traditional black, red and green candles are used in the holiday’s seven-candle Kinara, or candle holder. The Kinara is lit daily during the holiday’s seven days, from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.

Erica Jones of Duluth, Georgia, sells 300 to 400 hand-carved Kinaras each year at her Etsy site, BlackandFIT, and at Walmart online. “There aren’t too many things the Black community can say, ‘This celebrates our greatness.’ This holiday does that,” Jones says.

For a New Year’s Eve party, Blaise Ford suggests filling jars with strings of tiny (called fairy) lights and tie the jars with velvet ribbon in shades of icy blue, winter white and pale pink. Wrap that in metallic star garland for extra sparkle.

“The added benefit here is that no one has to remember to blow out the candles after the midnight toast,” Blaise Ford says.

HOW TO MARBLEIZE A CANDLE Supplies: Unscented, paraffin wax candles (Lavender Tucker recommends shopping at a discount store), in a votive, taper or pillar shape Disposable cup or small container that is taller than your candle Tight gloves, such as surgical Paper towels Newsprint or drop cloth An oil-based, marbleizing paint, such as Easy Marble by Marabu, available in craft stores and online.

-

Put on the protective gloves. Cover your workspace with newsprint or a drop cloth.

Fill a plastic cup with water and add just three drops of paint from each of two or three contrasting colors. Slightly swirl the color in the water.

Lower a candle into the cup, twisting it while doing so (the twist creates the swirly design).

Skim the surface of the water with a small piece of paper towel to clear the water of ink, so the candle won’t pick up more ink, creating a muddled design, when you withdraw it. Remove the candle.

Place the candle on a drying rack or clip it to a hanger by its wick.

Before dipping your second candle, skim the water surface with another piece of paper towel to clean it.

Proceed with second and subsequent candles in this same way.

Throw away your gloves, cup, and other soiled supplies to avoid staining your skin and other surfaces.

Versatility defines Aurora’s best on the All-Aurora Football Team There were certainly many players that were good at one role, but many of Aurora’s best excelled in multiple places — either because of pure talent or by necessity depending on the situation of their teams — which made them extra valuable.

The Aurora Sentinel’s 2023 All-Aurora Football Team — picked with careful consideration by the Sentinel in conjunction with balloting of city coaches — is heavy with the type of players that made multiple contributions to their respective teams.

Case in the point is the aforementioned Szarka, who only got better in his third season as the starting quarterback for Grandview. He showed tremendous leadership and ability way back in hsi sophomore season, but he blossomed into one of the state’s most dangerous offensive players. Szarka was named the Offensive Player of the Year in the Centennial League, which is annually in the conversation for the best league in the state in terms of talent. He racked up 3,501 total yards to rank No. 3 among Class 5A playoffs and No. 5 in the state regardless of classification, which included 2,922 passing yards, 579 rushing yards (which left him two yards off the lead for his team) and a whopping 43 combined touchdowns.

Szarka went out with a bang with his postseason performance, as he slugged it out with dual-threat quarterback Jake Jones of Chatfield before the Wolves fell 38-27 in the 5A quarterfinals. Szarka finished the game with 271 yards passing and four total touchdowns.

In the vein of versatility, Szarka served as the team’s punter and coach Tom Doherty put him on the field on defense any time he need somebody to make a play. His pass breakup on a fourth down late in the fourth quarter secured Grandview’s win over rival Eaglecrest.

The All-Aurora backfield is also full of versatility in Regis Jesuit senior Anthony Medina and Overland junior Jarrius Ward, who both were all over the field for their respective teams.

In terms of game-changing ability, Medina had it in spades, as he was a dangerous rusher and receiver on offense and impactful return man on special teams for coach Danny Filleman’s team. In a rare combination, Medina led Regis Jesuit in both rushing (640 yards) and receiving (527, which included a Hail Mary touchdown catch against 5A runner-up Cherry Creek to end the first half) and he scored a combined 18 touchdowns. That was the most end zone trips made by any Aurora player and it made him responsible for 108 total points to lead the area, while he also racked up nearly 250 yards combined as a punt and kick returner.

Ward was a defensive regular and strong linebacker on defense for Overland, but his greatest value came running the football. The multi-sport athlete — nearly a state champion in track & field in the throws in the spring and a wrestler in the winter — played in nine games for coach Kyle Reese’s Trailblazers, who were shut out in the one game that he missed. Ward finished well atop the list of Aurora players in rushing with 1,321 yards (an average of 147 yards per game), which put him eighth in all 5A behind players who all had more games.

He also scored 16 touchdowns, which ranked second among city players.

Rangeview senior Jah Alexander earned an All-Aurora athlete first team spot for his overall performance in a variety of areas. Another multi-sport athlete who nearly won a state championship in the hurdles in the spring, Alexander came into the season as a value skill position player, but he had to take over at quarterback due to injury. The Raiders had a difficult season on the offensive side of the ball, but Alexander took the team on his shoulders to the best of his ability. Though he was the focus of opposing defenses, Alexander rushed for 1,042 yards and scored 11 of the team’s 17 total touchdowns, while he also had 407 yards passing and 18 receiving.

Until injuries hit late in the season, Szarka had an array of weapons to chose from, but at the end it was mostly junior Xay Neto, a slam dunk pick on the All-Aurora team as a wide receiver. At times late in the regular season and early in the postseason, Neto was the only passcatcher on the field with much experience and he utilized every bit of it. He set the Grandview single game receiving record of 254 yards in the Wolves’ opening round playoff win over Douglas County, which was part of a season in which he was one of just two Aurora players to amass 1,000-plus all-purpose yards. He was fifth in 5A with 1,007 yards receiving (plus nine touchdowns), while he also had 300 in the return game.

Among specialists, there weren’t many better than Eaglecrest senior Logan Ryan, the Aurora area’s most dangerous weapon at the tight end position. With a 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, plus good hands and elusiveness in the open field, Ryan snagged a whopping 50 balls on the season — more than double the next highest total on the team — for 690 yards (topping his team in that category by 243 yards) and snared 12 touchdown passes. His one-handed touchdown catch in a late Centennial League game against Cherokee Trail held up to give Eaglecrest a victory, while he also brought in four twopoint conversion passes to put himself as one of Aurora’s highest point scorers with 80.

Defensively, the All-Aurora first team group also has a lot of versatility from front to back.

In the trenches along the defensive line is Smoky Hill senior Ene Niusulu, who was a one-man gang up front on his way to Centennial League Defensive Player of the Year accolades. The 6-foot-2, 290-pound Niusulu commanded a lot of attention from opposing offensive lines and he still managed to make an impact as the Buffaloes’ leading tackler. He also caused two fumbles and recovered one himself.

Niusulu — who also played special teams to the chagrin of many opponents — also got some carries and passes thrown his way offensively. His touchdown catch against Overland game Smoky Hill its only win of the season.

Aurora Central had an extremely versatile talent in its defensive backfield in senior Christopher Perkins, who made the All-Metro 2 League firs teamer as a defensive back. Perkins tied for city-best honors with four interceptions, while he was a heat-seaking missile as a tackler, as he made 117 stops (65 solo, 52 assists) to rank third among Aurora players and fourth in all of Class 4A in that category. Meanwhile, he was a well-used weapon for coach Chris Kelly’s team on offense — where his freshman brother, Chris V, became the starting quarterback — as well as serving various roles on special teams.

Eaglecrest had a game-changer in many ways in senior Cam Chapa, who was an All-Centennial League first team

pick as a defensive back. He was the quarterback of the defense, a ballhawk (he tied for Aurora-high honors with four interceptions) and playmaker, while he was an often electric return man and also scored five touchdowns on just seven carries on offense.

Gateway also had a versatile talent in the form of senior Knyle Serrell, who made the All-I-25 League teams on both offense and defense and rarely came off the field for coach Rashad Mason’s team. Offensively, he was a first team selection with his ability to run the ball in space as he racked up 1,065 yards and he scored total of 82 points on 13 touchdowns. Serrell also earned all-league second team honors as an all-purpose player.

Regis Jesuit’s defense allowed the fewest points of any Aurora team with a group that included senior hybrid defensive-end Trevor Nordstrom (who ranked ninth in 5A in tackles with 157), plus junior playmaking linebacker Kai Shelton and big play defensive back Lawson Douglas, a senior.

On special teams, the All-Aurora place kicker first team spot went to Regis Jesuit sophomore Jack Manthey, who was simultaneously a member of the school’s boys soccer team, which made it to the 5A semifinals. Manthey made nine field goals, including a long of 52 yards. The All-Aurora punter is Smoky Hill senior Kaiden McElhiney, an All-Centennial League first teamer who after he kicked lined up as one of the Buffaloes main defensive players as well.

Grandview leads the way on All-Aurora Girls Volleyball Team While wins were difficult to come by for a lot of Aurora teams in girls volleyball, the talent was definitely present, as reflected on the Aurora Sentinel’s 2023 All-Aurora Girls Volleyball Team.

Chosen by the Sentinel in conjuction with balloting of city coaches, the All-Aurora Team brings together several of the players from a group that earned a total of 36 all-league honors (first and second team and honorable mention) from the four leagues that included city teams.

Traditional power Grandview remained the city’s best team and was the only one that made it to the Class 5A girls volleyball state tournament. Coach Rob Graham’s Centennial League champion Wolves assembled a senior-heavy mix of talent that revolved around two seniors in particular, Emerson Deferme and Brenna Kelly. Both played their fourth seasons on varsity and both passed significant statistical milestones, as Deferme passed 1,000 career kills and Kelly eclisped 1,000 career digs.

Graham believes that Deferme was the best all-around player in the state and the argument is easy to stand on. The Centennial League Player of the Year, Colorado High School Activities Association Class 5A AllState First Team pick and Colorado Coaches of Girls’ Sports

(CCGA) All-State selection notched more than 400 kills for the season, the fourth-highest amount in 5A and 150 more than the next Aurora player. Deferme’s signature performance came at the 5A state tournament, when she was officially credited with 65 kills in a twomatch span, racking up 40 in a five-set win over Pueblo West and 25 more in a loss to eventual state champion Valor Christian, against which the Wolves won the first set and challenged the rest of the way in a four-set loss.

Deferme also piled up 63 service aces (second-most among Aurora players) and also averaged more than two digs per set played as well. She has signed with Nova Southeastern University in Florida.

Kelly, meanwhile, ranked third among all Aurora players with 318 digs and the University of Central Missouri commitment also had 47 services aces. She made the All-Centennial League first team and also was picked for the CCGS All-State match.

Grandview’s other All-Aurora first team performer is senior middle hitter Rachel Briar, who had the second-most kills behind Deferme and she had a team-best hitting percentage of .278. On top of that, Briar averaged nearly one block for every set she played — no small feat against good competition — and she finished with nearly 90 rejections to easily lead the area.

Regis Jesuit was eliminated in regional play by top-ranked and two-time 5A state champion Valor Christian, but coach Kait Kozak’s team had the pieces to compete with most of the state’s best teams.

Two of them landed on the All-Aurora first team in senior outside hitter Peyton Kreutzer and sophomore setter Lucy Tricco, who helped the Raiders to a 12-13 overall record.

Kreutzer earned Regis Jesuit’s lone spot on the All-Continental League first team after a season in which she finished as the team’s leader in kills with 245 — an average of 3.1 per set played — and she also averaged just a shade under two digs per set as well.

In a season with a lot of new faces around Aurora in the setter position, Tricco returned and built off a solid freshman season. She nearly tripled her assists with a total of 606 that ranked her sixth in the Continental League and put her in 5A’s top 20. The 5-foot-10 Tricco also had a team-high 53 blocks and led her team with 31 service aces to boot.

Cherokee Trail had flashes of outstanding play in the first season under Neal Finch as head coach, but the Cougars were also stopped in regional play after nearly upsetting host Castle View.

In the middle was junior Kassie Cooley, who earned her second straight spot on the

All-Centennial League first team with a season in which she racked up 209 kills — fifth-most among Aurora players — while she was also one of the area’s most efficient hitters with a percentage of .247. Cooley finished with 82 blocks to come within range of Briar for the local lead.

Eaglecrest also got eliminated in the same regional tournament as Regis Jesuit — in fact the teams played a five-set match in between both losing to Valor Christian. Coach Morgan Garrow’s Raptors knew what they were going to get in every match in the back row from se-

nior libero Alysse Marcoso, who had her second straight season as an All-Centennial League first team selection. Marcoso racked up 34 digs in the five-set regional loss to Regis Jesuit and finished with 515 digs (way up from last season’s total of 345) plus 37 service aces. She has signed with the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

Rangeview had an All-City League first team performer in junior Maddie Kilmer, who did just about everything for the Raiders. She finished in the top four in the City League in kills, assists, digs and service aces.

T

he Regis Jesuit girls swim team hopes to get a victory over Cherry Creek at the end of the season, but the early season one it got Dec. 16 at The REX Coaches Invitational meet felt pretty good.

The Raiders finished the multi-classification meet at the Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center in a strong way with a victory by senior Charlotte Burnham in the 100 yard breaststroke and a runner-up finish in 400 yard freestyle relay that sealed a significant win over the Bruins, who finished in front of them at last season’s state GIRLS SWIMMING meet in the same pool.

In the pool, Regis Jesuit showed a great mix of contributing youth (freshmen Natalie Daum and Ava Terella had three top-four finishes between them) and experience. Burnham won the event in which she is the defending state champion (the breastrstroke), while she was pleasantly surprised to finish second in an off event, the 50 freestyle.

In a strong showing for Aurora programs, Cherokee Trail finished fifth, Grandview sixth and Smoky Hill 14th, while Rangeview got on the board in diving.

Coach Kevin Chatham’s Cougars made a significant move up from 2022, as they scored 72 more points and finished three places higher in field that had five more teams from the 5A classification. All three of Cherokee Trail’s relays finished in the top nine, led by the third-place result of the 200 yard medley, and the Cougars set four team records, two

by Ella Drakulich.

It was further momentum for a team that got its first-ever win over rival Grandview in a dual meet and also won the Legacy Lightning Invitational.

Grandview finished right behind them in sixth place. Coach James Boone’s team got its top individual finish — a third-place in the 100 yard freestyle — from senior Keira Vail, who was one of four finalists for the Hoyt Brawner Award, given annually to the coaches selection as the top swimmer/scholar/citizen. Diver Addison Campbell finished fourth as well.

Coach Scott Cohen’s Smoky Hill finished two places lower than the previous season but earned 48 more points. Sophomore Cameryn Walkup finished in the top four of two individual events to lead the way for the Buffaloes, who are off to an undefeated start to the season in dual meets.

Junior Hailey McDonald’s 22nd-place finish in the diving competition secured nine points for Rangeview.

The meet was held in a morning prelims, afternoon finals format that is unlike the structure of the 5A state meet, which will take place over a three-day span in February. The entire diving competition is set for Feb. 7, with swimming prelims on Feb. 8 and finals on Feb. 9.

Off the blocks Senior Maya Kriz won the diving competition the previous day to get coach Nick Frasersmith’s Regis Jesuit team off to a strong start against the other Class 5A teams in the field, and the momentum continued until the end, when Burnham won the event in which she is the defending 5A state champion and then immediately anchored a second-place showing in the

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor final relay.

“I knew we could win the meet, but I wasn’t expecting to,” Frasersmith said. “More important than that, this is a special team. I can’t stress how together they are this season. They are confident, and hard working, and I think this meet just really summed up who they are. They really earned it and deserved it.”

The Raiders got a big boost in the diving competition with 75 points accrued by four scoring divers, led by Kriz and senior Sarah Mann in the top five. Kriz earned 435.50 points for a comfortable victory, while Mann finished with 428.70 for fifth.

That should factor in at the end of the season as the Raiders — who were runners-up to Cherry Creek last season — seek to challenge the Bruins, who have won three straight team titles.

FOOTBALL

Schmitt steps down at Eaglecrest to head to his native Louisiana Two seasons after he made his return as head football coach at Eaglecrest High School, Mike Schmitt has stepped down to take a job in another state.

Schmitt’s original time with the Raptors ended after the 2017 season when he led the program to the Class 5A state championship game before he spent four seasons in Pennsylvania and then returned to Colorado and his old role in 2022.

Eaglecrest Schmitt announced Schmitt’s departure Dec. 18, just a few weeks after the conclusion of the 2023 season, which ended with the Raptors’ loss to Legacy in the first round of the 5A playoffs. A native of Louisiana, Schmitt is headed back to his home state to become the head football coach and athletic director at Prairieville High School.

“We are grateful to Coach Schmitt and his family for their dedication and commitment in their return to Eaglecrest and our community the last two years,” Eaglecrest co-athletic director Vince Orlando said in a statement sent to The Sentinel. “We wish Coach Schmitt the best of luck in his future endeavor.”

Schmitt coached Eaglecrest for 2009-2017 and he departed after a season in which the team went 13-1 and lost to Pomona in the 5A state title game. The program had a combo season of Dustin Delaney and Garrett Looney in the 2018 season, then was under the direction of Shawn Marsh for three seasons before Schmitt came back. The Raptors finished 7-4 and qualified for the 5A playoffs in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons, leaving Schmitt’s career record in nine seasons with the program at 63-48 with seven playoff appearances, during which Eaglecrest went 6-7.

Orlando said the search for a new head coach would begin immediately and that it will posted on the Cherry Creek Schools website before or just after the conclusion of the upcoming winter break. Initial inquiries can be sent to vorlando@cherrycreekschools.org.

Eaglecrest’s opening is now the third among Aurora programs in the offseason prior to the 2024 season, as Overland seeks to replace Kyle Reese and Vista PEAK Prep looks for the successor to DaVaughn Thornton Sr. WINTER SPORTS

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Aurora High Point at DIA Metropolitan District By: /s/ David Solin Secretary First Publication: December 21, 2023 Final Publication: December 28, 2023 Sentinel COMMISSION ON DENTAL ACCREDITATION POSTING FORM FOR THIRD PARTY COMMENTS The Commission currently publishes, in its accredited lists of programs, the year of the next site visit for each program it accredits. In addition, the Commission posts its spring and fall site visit announcements on the Site Visit Process and Schedule area of the Commission’s website for those programs being site visited in the current and next year. Special site visits and initial accreditation site visits for developing

programs may be scheduled after the posting on the Commission’s website; thus, the specific dates of these site visits may not be available for publication. Parties interested in these specific dates (should they be established) are encouraged to contact the Commission office. The Commission will request written comments from interested parties on the CODA website.

The United States Department of Education (USDE) procedures require accrediting agencies to provide an opportunity for third-party comment, either in writing or at a public hearing (at the accrediting agencies’ discretion) with respect to institutions or programs scheduled for review.

All comments must relate to accreditation standards for the discipline and required accreditation policies. In order to comply with the Department’s requirement on the use of third-party comment regarding the program’s qualifications for accreditation or initial accreditation, the following procedures have been developed.

Those programs scheduled for regular review must solicit third-party comments through appropriate notification of communities of interest and the public such as faculty, students, program administrators, dental-related organizations, patients, and consumers at least ninety (90) days prior to their site visit. The notice should indicate the deadline of sixty (60) days for receipt of third-party comments in the Commission office and should stipulate that signed or unsigned comments will be accepted, that names and/or signatures will be removed from comments prior to forwarding them to the program, and that comments must pertain only to the standards for the particular program or policies and procedures used in the Commission’s accreditation process.

The announcement may include language to indicate that a copy of the appropriate accreditation standards and/or the Commission’s policy on third-party comments may be obtained by contacting the Commission by calling 1-312-440-4653 or by email.

All comments submitted must pertain only to the standards relative to the particular program being reviewed or policies and procedures used in the accreditation process. Comments will be screened by Commission staff for relevancy. Signed or unsigned comments will be considered. For comments not relevant to these issues, the individual will be notified that the comment is not related to accreditation and, where appropriate, referred to the appropriate agency.

All relevant comments will have names and/or signatures removed and will then be referred to the program at least fifty (50) days prior to the site visit for review and response. A written response from the program should be provided to the Commission office and the visiting committee fifteen (15) days prior to the site visit.

Adjustments may be necessary in the site visit schedule to allow discussion of comments with proper personnel. Negative comments received after the established deadline of sixty (60) days prior to the site visit will be handled as a complaint.

Any unresolved issues related to the program’s compliance with the accreditation standards will be reviewed by the visiting committee while on-site.

Programs with the status of initial accreditation, and programs seeking initial accreditation must solicit comment through appropriate notification of communities of interest and the public such as faculty, students, program administrators, dental-related organizations, patients, and consumers utilizing the procedures noted above.

On occasion, programs may be scheduled for special focused or special comprehensive site visits and because of the urgency of the visit, solicitation of third-party comments within the ninety (90) day time-frame may not be possible. However, third party comments must be solicited at the time the program is notified of the Commission’s planned site visit, typically sixty (60) days in advance of the visit. In this case, the timeframe for solicitation of third-party comments will be shortened. The notice should indicate the deadline of thirty (30) days for receipt of third-party comments in the Commission office and should stipulate that signed or unsigned comments will be accepted, that names and/or signatures will be removed from comments prior to forwarding them to the program, and that comments must pertain only to the standards for the particular program or policies and procedures used in the Commission’s accreditation process. All relevant comments will have names and/or signatures removed and will then be referred to the program at least twenty (20) days prior to the site visit for review and response. A written response from the program should be provided to the Commission office and the visiting committee ten (10) days prior to the site visit. Adjustments may be necessary in the site visit schedule to allow discussion of comments with proper personnel. Any unresolved issues related to the program’s compliance with the accreditation standards will be reviewed by the visiting committee while on-site. Negative comments received after the established deadline of thirty (30) days prior to the site visit will be handled as a complaint.

Individuals who are interested in submitting third party comments, may contact the Commission office for submission guidance. Third party comments should
