Columns 1-2:
“The city’s fire service was also expected to reconsider how it uses sedative drugs in the field. Aurora Fire Rescue phased out ketamine prior to the start of the decree and has since re-established its medical branch to encourage oversight of paramedic work and introduced a review process that follows all us- es of sedatives by paramedics.”

“When Aurora enters and exits the second phase of the decree will depend on when the city reaches three ‘training completion milestones’ defined in the decree as the point when Aurora finishes training the relevant personnel on each of the topics of using force, documenting stops and confronting racial bias.”
Columns 3-4:
“Obstacles to analyzing the aggregate data quantifying encounters between Aurora’s entire sworn workforce and the public have also persisted several months after IntegrAssure first called the situation ‘extremely concerning’” and Schlanger promised it would be ‘addressed appropriately.’”
Columns 4-5:
“The portal was not an explicit requirement of the decree, and parties to the reform process have held the effort up as an example of APD is acting of its volition to earn residents’ trust.”
Columns 8-9:
“According to the April 15 report, the multipronged monitoring effort will include reviewing police encounters that meet one of several criteria; focused, rotating evaluations of individual police districts and special units; evaluating enforcement data, especially as more data becomes available; and meeting at least twice a month with police leaders.”
Columns 9-10:
“The same criteria will be applied when the monitor focuses on a particular district or unit — additionally, the monitor will review when and how citations were issued by officers in those units as well as other contacts with the public, especially homeless people and those experiencing mental health problems.”

Court is adjourned, but the case of Elijah McClain’s death is far from over
Another catastrophic Aurora case closed last week, but it hasn’t ended.
Friday afternoon, nearly five years after Elijah McClain was wrongly accosted by Aurora police walking home on a hot summer night, then brutally arrested, choked, drugged and killed, a judge gaveled the last criminal court case against police and paramedics closed.
Aurora firefighter paramedic Jeremy Cooper was sentenced to 14 months in Jail and four years probation for his part in McClain’s death.
Cooper’s sentencing was the last of three trials over the past year, resulting in exceedingly rare convictions of paramedics and cops involved in the death of a Black person.
Both the trials and the sentencing hearings were agonizing.
For years, the public, and finally courts and jurors, have been subjected to seemingly endless replay of officer body cam video from the fateful night on Aug, 19, 2019 that McClain was killed.
The slaying begins with former Aurora Police Officer Nathan Woodyard aggressively confronting McClain, who was walking home from a nearby convenience store with a bag of canned iced tea.
The confrontation immediately spirals out of control as McClain begins to fear for his life. Within moments, he’s on the ground being first wrestled and then choked as a herd of police descend on the scene, all the while as he begs for first mercy and then just breath.
Some police and their supporters brush off what state prosecutors and others have insisted on: McClain was accosted and killed because he was a young Black man in a poor Black neighborhood.
After several minutes of being pummeled and choked into unconsciousness by police, Aurora paramedics roll up on the scene.
Medical experts and others agree what happened then was the most likely cause of McClain’s death.
Cooper and fellow paramedic Peter Cichuniec came upon the nearly unconscious McClain and were told by police he exhibited symptoms of “excited delirium,” a cue to dope the subject with a tranquilizer like ketamine.
The jury agreed that, rather than make their own and clear assessment of McClain, paramedics instead overdosed him with ketamine and then essentially ignored him for several minutes as he was dying, not resting.
Cichuniec was convicted last year of criminally negligent homicide and second-degree assault in the case. He authorized forcing ketamine on McClain and admitted in court to knowing it was a larger dose than should have been prescribed. He was sentenced to five years in prison by 17th Judicial District Court Judge Mark Warner.
During sentencing hearings for both
Cichuniec and Cooper, a company of witnesses gave emotional and compelling testimonials to how dedicated, talented and virtuous both of the paramedics are, and have been for their decades-long careers.
But Cooper’s roster of supporters was exceptional.
Fellow firefighter Matthew Wakefield started his tribute to Cooper by sharing that his son was shot dead in a Miami restaurant three years ago. He referred to the bizarre case of Justin Wakefield, who was confronted in the restaurant by a man who later said he had eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms. Wakefield stood in front of his toddler son to protect him from the gunman and was shot to death.
“My heart truly breaks for the McClain family,” he said.
But in his defense of Cooper, he tried to negate what the world saw in those videos of McClain’s assault and medical “treatment.” He painted Cooper as a thoughtful, doting rescuer who took the time to pay close attention to anyone he encountered.
Another supporter said she, too, had lost a family member to tragedy, but that Cooper’s actions that night belied who she thought he really was, compassionate and attentive, especially to people of color.
Clearly, the defense considered losing a loved one as a key to inviting trust and making good judgments of character. McClain’s mother, at the sentencing hearing, disagreed.
No one can say they had a similarity to my son’s murder,”Sheneed McClain told the court after all the defense witnesses had spoken. “We are not the same.”
The compelling character endorsements was extensive.
“He was passionate about working on the north side of Aurora,” said Diane Shcroeder, a former high-ranking firefighter that worked with Cooper
In the end, the hearing devolved in-
to what most of the criminal trials reflected: police blamed paramedics for McClain’s death. Paramedics blamed the police. Many blamed McClain himself for not staying calm while he was accosted, assaulted, attacked and then choked into unconsciousness and for not understanding that Black people in northwest Aurora must be prepared at all times to calmly defend why they would be walking home from a convenience store in the evening carrying cans of iced tea.
Sheneen McClain is right. Everyone there that night has her son’s blood on their hands. No one tried to stop his attack and killing.
And despite each paramedic being the best of the best, as their friends, family and others told the court, they never bothered to treat McClain as any medical provider would have treated a patient, or any human, if he hadn’t been Black, young, male and handed over as a criminal suspect super-charged with “excited delirium,” even as laid there, still and just breathing.
This was no case of mistaken identity, nor a muffed encounter, nor medical malpractice. No amount of testimony or context or revisioning can overshadow the raw cruelty, indifference and incompetence these responders and rescuers exhibited as their body cameras rolled.
While criminal court has adjourned, the court of the public is still very much in session. As Aurora police roll out promises and details of new training, change and a determination to earn back trust, that jury remains out.
If only one of those responders on Aug. 24, 2019 had been more like Elijah McClain, who made clear who he was with his dying words. “I’m trying. Please, help me.”

Amajority of Aurora city lawmakers are suffering a serious misunderstanding about what constitutes important.
Last weekend, during a special study session, all but two city lawmakers at the confab agreed not only to raise fees for residents to use city pools and recreation centers, but they agreed to push toward rocketing user fees upward of 30 percent over three years.
The logic behind the misguided strategy is faulty at the foundation and the follow-through both.
Every year, Aurora, and just about every government in the nation, struggles with how to spend your tax dollars. Regularly, there are far more needs than dollars to fund them.
Aurora is facing a funding shortfall, just like most area governments, as costs increase and revenues fail to keep pace.
Some of the predicted shortfall is unwisely self-inflicted. Aurora lawmakers are considering ending the city’s long-standing “head tax,” a nominal $2 a month fee on anyone who has a job inside city limits. Behaving as if ending this nuisance would enrich every business in Aurora, city lawmakers have simply shrugged off warnings from city staff and critics that the $6 million a year in lost revenue would simply mean cuts in city services.
Lo and behold.
The attitude over the weekend among city lawmakers took a peculiar turn as council conservatives made clear they see city swimming pools, recreation centers and sports fields as mere perks, hardly being core services.
At one point, some lawmakers began to infer that Aurora should strive to ensure these services become “enterprise” funds, like the city’s water department.
Those programs, in theory, “pay their own way” from “user fees.” City recreation programs serve far more important functions than just providing leisure time fun.
These facilities are critical centers for a wide range of Aurora residents who depend on them for their health and the health of the community.
Thousands of Aurora’s older and elderly residents, far from flush or wealthy, depend on these centers for their mental health, social health, physical health and more. Any member of the city council who believes Social Security retirees won’t notice a 30% hike in senior center fees needs to consult with a Social Security retiree.
Tens of thousands of Aurora families depend on these centers for children to spend time immersed in culture, art, exercise and healthy socialization. Besides the very real benefits to individuals to have access to these facilities, there’s a very real benefit to the entire community. Urban and suburban communities that provide community center services see a real reduction in crime.
“Recreational activities are one of the cheapest and most effective ways to reducing and prevent crime,” a 2015 study published in The Journal of Recreation and Sport reports after analyzing several studies.
The sound and proven logic is what stands behind related organizations, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs and an entire industry built around giving children positive, healthful activities to fill their lives.
The city council’s misguided logic sees senior center, rec center and swimming pool services less critical than providing parks and trails or maintaining plants on medians, which do not collect revenue from fees.
And even the city’s manager pointed out that raising fees may not result in raising net revenues or reducing city “subsidy” for these programs.
“This is not on autopilot,” City Manager Jason Batchelor said during the April 27 workshop, according to a Sentinel story. “We’re going to monitor the impact on our foot traffic. Are we seeing that fall-off from the sticker shock? If folks aren’t coming through the door, we’re not getting the cost recovery we want.”
While the city might benefit greatly by making most of these services free for Aurora residents, most of the community expects to pay some small amount for a day at the pool or for a senior pottery class. But in a world where the poor and middle class are already financially stressed to the point of breaking, gouging them to cover city budget losses elsewhere is a bad move.
This is the kind of logic that insists that the government should be run like a business. Government is not a business. It is not created to serve its board of directors, sole proprietor or shareholders. Aurora’s government was created to serve residents’ needs as a community, without regard for profit or margins.
As a pediatrician at Every Child Pediatrics (ECP) in Aurora, I am passionate about providing quality care to our mostly low-income community—80% of our patients are on Medicaid or low-cost public health insurance and 10% are uninsured. Unfortunately, our ability to continue offering excellent affordable care and patient service is being threatened by a series of proposed ballot measures that would eliminate reasonable limits on the amount of money people can collect when suing a health care provider.
To be clear, I fully support that patients who experience negligence deserve to be compensated fairly, which is why there is currently no cap on the amount of money someone can be awarded for economic damages such as lost wages or ongoing medical costs. But without limits on how much they can receive for unmeasurable damages, the cost of health care will skyrocket and result in worsened health access and outcomes for all Coloradans.
If these measures succeed in abolishing caps on non-economic damages, statewide health care costs would surge by approximately $155 million a year, as estimated by COPIC, a Colorado-based medical liability insurance carrier. In states with non-economic damage caps that are too high or don’t exist, practices have been forced to file for bankruptcy or close altogether because of astronomical verdicts, ultimately limiting access to care for patients.
As a safety net clinic that offers everything from general pediatrics to mental health and dental services, our operations could take a debilitating hit from cost hikes like these. Inflated professional medical liability insurance premiums would make it much more difficult to maintain our staffing levels. With fewer staff, our pediatric patients and their families would face longer wait times to schedule appointments, speak to a nurse or connect with their medical provider. This would negatively affect health outcomes for the most vulnerable kids in our community.
At ECP, we serve complex patients who can’t afford to have delays in care. In any given week, I see infants who are failing to grow well, multiple children with autism and behavioral problems whose parents need help understanding how to support and manage
them, and adolescents with suicidal ideations who require psychiatric support and close monitoring. We have patients with chronic conditions from diabetes to asthma, as well as others who must be fed through G-tubes or use home oxygen. These kids cannot afford a lapse in access to care.
When children can’t get the preventive care they need, like refilling their asthma medicine or G-tube formulas, they end up in the emergency department or hospitalized. And children who can’t get mental health appointments end up hospitalized for suicide attempts or worse. These are horrible outcomes for the child and their family and strain our entire health care system. And what many don’t realize is that this also increases the burden on taxpayers.
As a mission-driven physician, I know that reduced access to care disproportionately hurts people in rural and low-income communities, and we can’t let that happen in Colorado. My colleagues and I are asking the state legislature and Governor Jared Polis to pass Senate Bill 130 to avoid this disastrous impact on patient care and access. Senate Bill 130 would proactively raise the cap on non-economic damages from the current $300,000 up to $500,000, putting Colorado on par with other states that cap non-economic damages. This ensures patients are fairly compensated for non-economic losses when negligence occurs while also protecting vulnerable Coloradans’ access to affordable, quality health care. Contact your elected officials and urge them to support Senate Bill 130 to protect accessible care for all, including vulnerable, underserved children.

Aformer Aurora paramedic who injected Elijah McClain with a powerful sedative avoided prison last week and was sentenced to 14 months in jail with work release and four years probation in the killing of the Black man that helped fuel the 2020 racial injustice protests.
Jeremy Cooper had faced up to three years in prison after being found guilty in a jury trial last year of criminally negligent homicide. He administered a dose of ketamine to McClain, 23, who had been forcibly restrained after police stopped him as the massage therapist was walking home in northwest Aurora in 2019.
The sentencing caps a series of trials that stretched over seven months and resulted in the convictions of a police officer and two paramedics. Criminal charges against paramedics and emergency medical technicians involved in police custody cases are rare.
Cooper, who was fired after his conviction, was sentenced to four years of probation including 14 months in jail under a program that will allow him to leave for work and return to jail at night and on weekends,
said Lawrence Pacheco with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.
The other paramedic involved in McClain’s death received a more severe punishment after being convicted on an additional charge of felony assault.
Judge Mark Warner said evidence showed Cooper did not purposely give McClain a ketamine overdose, rejecting claims by prosecutors that the paramedic had acted with indifference.
McClain’s mother told the judge prior to Friday’s sentencing that she blamed McClain’s death on everyone who was present that night, not just those who were convicted.
“Eternal shame on all of you,” Sheneen McClain said.
She said Cooper “did nothing” to help her son after he’d been restrained by police — didn’t check his pulse, didn’t check his breathing and didn’t ask him how he was doing — before injecting him with an overdose of ketamine.
Close to tears, McClain ended by raising her right fist in the air and saying loudly, “From my heart to my hands, long live Elijah McClain, always and forever.”
Aurora lawmakers support raising fees at city sports fields and rec centers
Aurora lawmakers on April 27 said they support raising fees at city recreation facilities — one of a handful of proposed changes meant to recover more of the money spent annually on providing related services.
Currently, a membership at one of the city rec centers costs about $178 annually for a single resident between the ages of 27 and 61, while an membership valid at all rec centers costs $310. Those fees would increase to $195 and $340, respectively.
Fees for swimming lessons would also be raised from about $29 to $40 per hour, and the hourly cost of renting a sports field would increase from $35-55 to $38-70. Daily rentals for tournaments, which currently cost $300, would instead cost $750.
“This is not on autopilot,” city manager Jason Batchelor said during the April 27 workshop. “We’re going to monitor the impact on our foot traffic. Are we seeing that fall-off from the sticker shock? … If folks aren’t coming through the door, we’re not getting the cost recovery we want.”
While city staffers said fees for rec center memberships, swimming lessons and field rentals would be increased by up to 10% for each of “the next three years,” it was unclear whether any of the increases discussed will begin this year and what relation the annual hikes have to the specific adjusted fees that were presented to the council.
Brooke Bell — director of Aurora’s Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department — wrote in an email Monday that the changes were “a work in progress that must consider currently advertised rates that are in place through the fall.”
On Saturday, Bell and others framed the fee increases as a way for the city to regain ground lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, the ratio of income to ex-
penses generated by recreational services offered to the public was about 45%. Prior to the pandemic, that number was closer to 60%.
Aurora’s budget projects that the recreation fund will receive about $7,057,050 in revenue from user fees while losing $17,268,909 in 2024, offset by a subsidy of $9,019,991 from the city’s general fund.
Bell also reported that Denver and Colorado Springs recovered less money than Aurora from their recreational offerings, with Denver seeing a 21% return on investment and Colorado Springs recovering about 30%.
Council members Alison Coombs and Curtis Gardner both opposed the increases, saying they unfairly burdened residents for the fact that the city hasn’t raised the fees since 2019. They also pointed out that, unlike private gyms, city rec facilities aren’t established to turn a profit.
“We want to be as fiscally responsible as we can be,” Coombs said. “We also want to make sure that we are providing safety and services for our community, and sometimes that’s going to cost us money.”
“I think that charging nothing is a failure,” Jurinsky said. “I used to have to do a bunch of chores. … I just think, for many reasons, there should be a charge. Even if it’s a dollar.”
Bell said the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department also hopes to save money and increase revenue by identifying in-demand classes and programs, figuring out other uses for city facilities that are underutilized and identifying other fee increases.
Councilmember Crystal Murillo was the only member of the council who didn’t attend Saturday’s workshop, where the group also talked about strategic planning, the current citywide budgeting process and the pursuit of federal grants.
— Max Levy, Sentinel Staff Writerpeers at CCIC celebrated their months-long effort of building tiny homes for the homeless community. The projects they have been working on since October were placed onto semi-trucks where they were transported to serve the undserved.
CCIC allows district high-school students to get hands-on training in the trades, like construction. They partnered with Colorado Village Collaborative, a non-profit organization which creates tiny home villages in order to create transformational housing communities for people experiencing homelessness.
The tiny homes have air conditioning, heating, some bookshelves and doors that can lock. However, they do not include bathrooms or kitchens because the tiny homes will be surrounding a community center which has a large kitchen, dining area, laundry and bathrooms.
“The tiny homes are cool…because I can help people and it’s helping me to learn all the different skills and trades that go along with building a tiny home,” Wehrman said.

However, most of the council was supportive. Danielle Jurinsky and other conservatives also questioned the city’s decision to sponsor free programs for children without collecting data on their ages and cities of residence and balked at city staffers saying children as young as 8 years old are allowed to visit rec centers unaccompanied and, on “rare” occasions, do.
Losing an eye didn’t stop Joe Wehrman from pursuing his passions and wanting to help other people.
On July 4, 2023, a fireworks mortar accidently went off near Wehrman.
“I don’t really know what happened, but it hit me in the face,” he said.
Wehrman is heading to Colorado State University in Fort Collins after graduating this spring. There, he plans on pursuing a degree in construction management. He dreams of owning his own construction company “and be successful enough that I can help people out.”

Jurinsky said she believed the city should at least require children or their parents to pay some amount of money, in the same way some nonprofits tell attendees to “pay what you can,” which could facilitate the city gathering information about minors using its facilities and how many pay to be there.
Wehrman explained that he broke his jaw, orbital bone and lost his right eye. The cornea on his other eye was scratched, “so [he] couldn’t see and that was kind of scary.” Wehrman now wears a prosthetic eye, and his teacher said he’s more conscious about safety.
When Wehrman came back to school in August, he said he was able to lean on his teachers and friends for support. When he felt tired, which happened frequently at first, his teachers allowed him to sit down and take a break. Michael Degitis, his teacher at Cherry Creek Innovation Campus, also went to visit him in the hospital.
“It was a no-brainer. [Wehrman] needed support at that time,” Degitis said. “He needs to know that we’re there for him, and that…we face obstacles, but nothing should stop us from continuing to be ourselves.”
Since then, Wehrman returned to school and continued his work in Degitis’ class learning about the construction trade. Losing his eye also meant that Wehrman’s depth perception was different, which made it difficult for him to hammer a nail, but “like riding a bike, it comes right back to you.”
“I could not have done this without all the support that was given to me,” Wehrman said. “It’s really comforting and it gives you motivation because then…you don’t want to get better just for yourself. You get better for everyone around you.”
On Friday, Wehrman and his
Sure, they took college entrance exams, instead, the Smoky Hill High School all-girls automotive club took a different step toward figuring out their post-high school plans. They headed to the garage. Last week, they gathered at Groove Mazda to speak with female leaders in the auto industry – Sierra Jones, service manager, and Kalie Vogeler, sales manager. The students also got to tour the Mazda and Ford repair shops, and hear from the technicians there about career paths and the auto repair industry.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women made up 17% of the automotive repair industry workforce in 2023. Comparatively, women made up nearly half of the retail industry, but 22% of women specifically worked in the automobile dealership.
And while women may be just muscling in to the automotive industry, they spend plenty on it.
Women influence 80 percent to 85 percent of all automotive purchases and hold the majority of U.S. driver’s licenses, said Jody DeVere, founder of AskPatty.com, a website that offers auto resources for women and businesses, according to a recent Associated Press story.
Women’s money in the industry has been growing for years.
At Smoky Hill, the club has only been in existence for a couple months. Emily Flynn, a junior and ›› See METRO, 7
one of the club’s founders, said that the club was born from a desire to see more women in the auto industry.
Flynn has never been interested in makeup or fashion. She likes to get her hands dirty. She said that she had to take automotive class in high school so that she can learn the basics and not have to rely on a man to fix things. But the class soon sparked her interest in pursuing it as a career.
“I like getting under the hood and working on mechanical stuff,” Flynn said. She also said that she enjoys, “proving that I can do it and I don’t need somebody else’s help to do it.”
Raya Greenberg, who is also a junior and a club founder, said she wants to educate girls on their cars because women are oftentimes over-charged when they take their cars to get serviced. At the club, they help teach girls how to maintain and repair their cars, including identifying parts of the car engine, how to jumpstart a car and check tire tread depth.
After the tour, the club members said they were interested in going into the auto industry after high school. Greenberg said that she has a goal of owning a women-operated auto shop.
“As a woman who has been in the car industry for 14 years, it’s always fun to see new faces and those faces being women,” Vogeler said. It’s not always easy. Vogeler and Jones said that there have been times in their career when customers specifically demanded to work with a man. When that happened, they both had to show they did know just as much as any man at the dealership.
When asked to give advice to the young female students who might face gender discrimination, Jones said, “Don’t give up. Every day is going to be hard…but the end goal is so rewarding.”
Voegeler echoed those sentiments and added that the girls should not be afraid of speaking up for themselves. “We come into a male-dominated industry and we’ve got all these guys telling us what to do,” she said. “But we come in with our own knowledge…and our own way of doing things. It’s a good feeling standing up for yourself, especially if you got the knowledge behind what you’re saying.”
— Kristin Oh, Sentinel Staff WriterWhen Bishnu Rai’s children started school at Aurora’s Crawford Elementary five years ago, she initially felt lost. She wasn’t very social and she struggled to help her children, she says.
But thanks to Crawford’s community school model, she’s been getting more involved, learning English, and now feels confident enough she’s helping come up with
a plan for empowering other immigrant parents.
Crawford Elementary is one of six schools in Aurora that are part of the ACTION Zone, a group of schools near Denver’s border that have high levels of poverty and large numbers of language learners. The district grouped the schools years ago as part of a plan to better support the schools with similar needs.
At Crawford, some of the work has gone on for almost 10 years, but evolved as the zone schools committed to a “community schools” model in the past five years. The approach focuses on using community partners to address whole family’s needs, with the end goal of ensuring that children have fewer social and emotional barriers to learning.
In Colorado, nonprofit organizations and the state education department are increasing their focus on how they support schools that want to use the community schools model. Some of these leaders say they see an untapped potential for improving communities.
At Crawford, 97% of the school’s 540 students qualify for subsidized meals, a measure of poverty, and students come from 40 different countries speaking about 25 different languages.
Through the community schools model, Crawford works with organizations to test students’ eyesight at school, helps parents learn how they can continue lessons at home, and brings families together to share about their various cultures. Rai also has taken advantage of English classes, health classes, and parent leadership classes.
Parents are involved in big school decisions. For instance, parents helped pick this year’s new principal by participating in interviews and hosting a forum where parents could ask questions of the applicants and fill out scorecards.
“If we empower our parents, this helps our kids,” Rai said. “They teach me how to raise my voice, how to speak up.”
Colorado Department of Education officials recently visited Crawford and Boston K-8, two of Aurora’s zone schools, as part of the state’s work to better understand how the community schools model is implemented and what resources can be shared with other schools looking to try the same model.
State lawmakers in 2022 added adopting the model to the menu of improvement options for schools on the state’s watchlist for low performance. The state education department had some support for the model spread across various departments but now is creating a team focused just on supporting the community schools model.
“We’re happy to connect schools with resources,” said Dana Scott, director of the office of student supports for the state Department of Education. “We want to be a place where we can really create some good connections for them so schools don’t have to start from scratch.”
The state doesn’t track how many districts are using the model, but nationwide, some experts believe
the model has had growing interest, and more so since the start of the pandemic. Even as schools shut down, they served as hubs for various help to families in the community, providing meals, internet, COVID tests, shots, and more.
Katie Wilberding Cross, senior director for youth initiatives and education for Mile High United Way, helps lead a coalition of organizations that want to support community schools. The coalition just started meeting in the fall.
She says the idea behind community schools is that students have needs that can be a barrier to learning, but schools should not be expected to be everything for everybody.
“There are partners that pro-
vide these different needs,” Wilberding Cross said. “United Ways are uniquely positioned to convene folks, to bring these various organizations and sectors together.”
She said part of the work is getting more districts to learn about the model. It’s hard to say how much interest is in Colorado.
“What I keep hearing is there’s a lot of percolating interest, but it’s something that hasn’t been fully tapped into,” Wilberding Cross said.
In the metro area, Adams 14 has had national support in trying to start using the model at Central Elementary, one of the district’s lowest-performing schools, which is under a state-ordered improvement plan of its own. The hope is that the model will eventually help improve
student achievement.
The Harrison school district of Colorado Springs also uses the model at one of its schools, and Pueblo 60 uses it at two of its schools.
Many more schools are likely doing much of the same work community schools focus on, such as starting a food pantry for families, or partnering with community organizations to provide another service for students or families, but they don’t have the community schools label or a plan with the intentionality that the model would provide.
Having a community schools coordinator on staff ensures that
›› See METRO, 8
the partnerships belong to the schools and not an individual teacher or principal who might leave, that those partnerships are responsive to the needs in the community, and that they are providing something for the families. With those elements in place,the work is more likely to be successful and to continue beyond just a year or two, experts said.
Schools trying to use the community schools approach generally hire a community schools coordinator. At Crawford, Maggie Lautzenheiser-Page, the community schools coordinator, helps plan and run the various programs offered for that school’s needs, which are different than the programs offered at the next school using the model.
“Then it’s not burdening or putting more weight on educators,” said Christa Rowland, Western regional deputy director for the Coalition for Community Schools from the Institute for Educational Leadership, a national nonprofit group based in Washington D.C. “Rather it should lift it.”
The community school coordinator is key, leaders agree. The
person should have some decision-making authority at the school level to help drive the work, Wilberding Cross said. There should be district buy-in. And the plans need to be designed with the community, evaluating needs and existing assets, experts said.
If schools are following Colorado’s definition of community schools as laid out in Colorado statute, then they have to assess the community’s needs every year.
Hiring that community school coordinator to implement this model does require an investment. Experts say research has shown the investment can pay off with more resources coming to the school, and improved measures of attendance, parent engagement, and eventually, other student outcomes.
Aurora has made some of that investment. The community school coordinators, one at each of the zone schools, are district-funded. The district is working to find permanent funding for some of the other positions, including community health coordinators and family liaisons for special populations that speak different languages.
The model has helped improve family and community engagement and enabled parents such as Rai to
feel empowered to help their children’s learning. But, based on state ratings, the schools in the zone haven’t seen much improvement in students’ academic achievement. Aurora Central High School, the district’s longest-struggling school is part of the zone and has continued to have low state ratings.
Crawford Principal Aubri Dunkin, who is new this year, said most school leaders want their schools to be hubs for the community.
“But this truly is a hub,” Dunkin said, noting that the community school model allows the school to support parents and help them navigate potential barriers so students come to school more regularly and “ready to learn.”
At Crawford, 50 parents, including Rai, regularly attend leadership meetings. The zone’s two food clinics, which provide food and connect parents to other resources, host regular events to give out local food. Last school year, they served more than 4,700 individuals in the events. Within the district, leaders say students whose families are engaged are showing better outcomes than those who aren’t.
And across the zone, “definitely more than half of our families are attending and participating in events
on a regular basis,” said Elizabeth Lewis, the district’s community schools impact manager.
At Crawford, which recently received a large number of new migrant students, parent leaders want to pass on what they’ve learned to help the new migrant parents be involved for their children, Rai said.
She’s also hoping to raise another issue beyond her school: pedestrian safety. She said families who walk to the school want a new stop sign at one of the busy intersections. Parents years ago successfully lobbied the city to install one outside the school, but now there’s a need for another, she said.
Experts say it’s that kind of drive by parents that really creates sustainability, and a model that is responsive to the evolving needs of the community.

— Sentinel StaffWoman shot, injured in parking lot of Aurora auto parts
Police say a woman was shot and injured April 26 by another woman while in the parking lot of an auto parts store in north Aurora.
Dispatchers were notified of the shooting at about 8:30 p.m. at the NAPA store 15355 E. Colfax Ave.
“One adult woman has been taken to a local hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound,” police said in a statement. “The injuries do not appear to be life-threatening.”
A 17-year-old girl died Friday from injuries she sustained during a shooting the week prior, police said.
Coroner officials on April 30 identified the girl as Skylar Staats.
Police were called to the scene of the shooting at about 1 a.m. April 20 near the 1000 block of South Blackhawk Street in Aurora.
Police said they detained a “person of interest” in the shooting, also an adult woman.
An initial investigation revealed that the arrested woman and the shooting victim are known to each other.

Few teams seem as prepared for the upcoming boys volleyball postseason as Grandview, which is in the midst of a sprint to the finish.
The Wolves — a blend of experienced players with an infusion of youth — continued to build momentum with four wins in a five-day span, the least of which secured the program’s first league championship.
“At the end of the day, we just had to believe that anything is possible,” junior Nick Safray said. “Yeah we’re down two sets, but we had to keep believing and focus on what we can control, like we did with our defense and our block. We just believed and what’s what happens when the whole team works together.”
Added Garcia, who had 14 kills: “Through hard, tough games like this, we really connect better. ...I think we’re really mentally strong, so we know we can climb back no matter what.”
Grandview pulled off a reverse sweep of a Littleton Public Schools team it had lost to twice already as it roared back from a 17-25, 18-25, 2516, 25-23, 15-5 victory in the Centennial League Challenge championship match April 25 at Heritage High School.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor“We’ve been preparing over the long haul for the state tournament,” coach Scott Nugent said. “We played Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and today, and I reminded them that this is what state is (like). Most of them have played club, so they know how to balance themselves, but I’m just impressed with their grit and their determination in this stretch.”
The Wolves opened the Centennial League Challenge (in which they were the No. 3 seed) with a three-set win over Cherry Creek April 23, had a day off and then outlasted rival Eaglecrest in five sets April 25, followed that with a fourset home win against Legend April 26 and then found themselves going against an LPS co-op team that had beaten them two times.
Down two sets, Grandview dug deep and came roaring all the way back. Momentum had full jumped to the Wolves in the decider, in which they rolled to a 10-point victory in shortened set.
It’s the kind of win that had previously eluded the program, which has built gradually from its debut in the 2021 season. The Wolves won four matches their first season — which was abbreviated due to the coronavirus pandemic — then jumped to six the next season and 14 last season before they lost in regionals.
Several holdovers from last season remain, but the addition of freshmen Alex Garcia and Connor Deickman has made a tremendous difference. Garcia is just outside the state’s top 10 in total kills, and Deickman is a consistent weapon that has helped take the pressure off Safray, who had to be the focal point of the offense last season.
“I’m super proud of Alex and Connor. They are so mature for their age,” Safray said. “I know from experience that playing on varsity as a freshman is very hard, and there’s a lot of pressure, but they’ve helped us so much. We definitely wouldn’t be where we are without them.”
Another factor in the rise in play is sophomore Devan Hall, who took over the setting position from graduated Nathan Bidlingmaier — who was an All-Centennial League first team pick last season — and thrived.
Hall dished out 37 assists in the final match
and was key in the service game as well.
“Devan has just come right in and run the team, and combined … with our two freshmen, we’ve been able to make a huge jump,” said Nugent, the team’s original coach.
“It’s allowed us to set our goals for the season much higher,” he added.
The new talent, a freed-up Safray (last season’s leader in kills) and a variety of other contributors have helped the Wolves reach uncharted territory for the program.
Grandview went into its April 30 regular season finale against Rock Canyon with 17 wins, trailing season leader Eaglecrest by just one. The Wolves and the Raptors are in position to be one of the eight hosts of three-team regional state qualifying tournaments. A win would put Grandview into the May 9-11 state tournament at Overland High School for the first time.
“I think if we can keep riding this momentum, we’re going
said. “This is my first year, but I’m loving every bit of it.”

When she attended Regis Jesuit High School — and was the darling of the American swim world — Missy Franklin Johnson gratefully swam in the school’s old bubble, which had its share of quirks.
The five-time gold medal winner — whose life has changed dramatically since she graduated in 2013 — returned April 25 to the campus of her alma mater, which officially named its sparkling year-old swimming facility in her honor.
A wife, mom and ambassador for the sport now that her competitive days are behind her, Franklin Johnson has started a new chapter of her life. But her time at Regis Jesuit will always remain strong in her memory.
Her rise to prominence boosted the profile of the school at a crucial time according to alum John Sheridan, who was chairman of Regis Jesuit’s Board of Trustees at the time and has helped an explosion of growth on the campus the school has occupied since it moved from Denver in 1990. Regis Jesuit opened its Girls Division in 2003 at an alternate site before it occupied the old boys building during the 2004-05 school year.
Franklin Johnson found that much had changed on the campus, but many of the important people that had been part of her formative years still remained.
“Regis has always been such a safe place for me, where a lot of the world only knows me as Missy Franklin, but Regis knows me for me,” she told a packed gym. “They know me as the one who is walking in after a 6 a.m. practice with a wet bun on top of her head and no makeup on and just being who she is with her friends and not having to put on any kind of facade.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor“So being able to come back to Regis after London when so much of my life had changed and so much was different to a place that hadn’t changed and still treated me the same way made it so safe.”
Regis Jesuit is in the midst of a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the opening of its Girls Division and one of the most notable alums — and also in the 147-year history of the institution, male or female, president David Card noted in his opening address — is Franklin Johnson, who earned four gold medals in the Olympics in London in 2012 between her junior and senior years and added another in her second Olympic appearance in 2016 with a relay.
In prep competition, she set four individual (200 yard freestyle, 200 yard individual medley, 500 yard freestyle and her specialty — the 100 yard backstroke — Colorado state records that remain, while she was part of a 400 yard freestyle relay team along with Hillary Thomas, Alex Todd (nee Martinez) and McKenna DeBever that posted the state standard in 2011.
Current Regis Jesuit head coach Nick Frasersmith said the memories of Franklin Johnson’s time at the school were still “crystal clear” in his mind and that many days on the pool deck include mention of her in some form. Her name adorns the school recordboard in six of the eight individual swimming events and one relay.
“To think of the training we had in the old pool. The kids didn’t complain. Missy was a world recordholder and didn’t complain,” he said. “It’s definitely come full circle and every time we walk into this pool, it will be the Missy Franklin pool and something to remember. This was a no-brainer to name it after her, for all she’s done and the recognition she’s brought to the school.”
Franklin Johnson posed for pictures, signed a few autographs and chatted with members of the school’s boys and girls swim teams, who crammed onto a large set of bleachers that provide way more spectator seating then the team had in the previous bubble.
“The team has been excited all week,” Frasersmith said. “I think they hear so much about Missy, then there is the reality of seeing her and how genuine she is in talking with them and making them feel special, too.”
Franklin Johnson also was able to in person present the annual award that already existed in her name to Regis Jesuit senior basketball star Hana Belibi, who is headed to Harvard University. An endowed scholarship will be given out to a Regis Jesuit female student annually as well. She posed for multiple photos in and outside the facility, before she headed inside for a Q&A session in front of the entire student body with topics that ranged from her memories of her time in school, the feeling of winning her first gold medal to her plans for the future.
The momentum from a fast start for girls flag football in Colorado has brought it all the way to being an officially sanctioned sport by the Colorado High School Activities Association.
At CHSAA’s Legislative Council meeting April 23, a proposal to end the sport’s pilot status and add it to the growing list of sanctioned sports — beginning in the upcoming fall season — earned approval from 86% of the voters (57 of the 66 votes cast were for approval).
A day after the vote, the Denver Broncos (who have been big backers of bringing the sport to the state) held a press conference at their headquarters to celebrate the decision.
Women’s flag football is now a scholarship sport at the college level, which has helped strengthen the case for its inclusion as a sanctioned sport, as is the case in 10 other states. Locally, Vista PEAK Prep graduate Leilani Caamal earned a scholarship to play at Ottawa University in Kansas, while others may follow.
Jamboree events have been held over the past two years and have been quite popular for Aurora high schools, as nearly every school has fielded at least one team. According to CHSAA numbers, 50 schools across 10 districts in the state offered flag football last fall — some field as many as four teams —which further adds to the number of options for female athletes.
The addition of flag football bumps the number of fall sanctioned sports to 11, as it joins football, girls volleyball, boys soccer, boys and girls cross country, boys tennis, field hockey, boys golf, gymnastics and Unified bowling in addition to spirit.
At the April 23 Colorado High School Activities Association Legislative Council meeting, a proposal to add a shot clock — which has been in use in a variety of other states — was approved for all classifications beginning in the 2026-27 boys and girls basketball seasons, ending a long debate.
By a slim vote of 40-30, the council approved the institution of a shot clock, which will be set at 35 seconds, inline with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). The clock will be mandatory for all varsity contests and will be used through overtime.
“The positives definitely outweigh the negatives, so this is going to be a real step forward for Colorado high school basketball,” longtime Rangeview boys basketball coach Shawn Palmer told the Sentinel. “I think it adds so many elements to the thinking part of the game.”
Advocates for shot clocks had called for their addition to improve pace of play — taking out some of the
“stall ball” tactics out of the game — and to create more strategic end-ofgame scenarios as teams in the lead can not just run out the clock. Players from Colorado also have had to adjust to playing with a shot clock at the collegiate level.
Those against the shot clock primarily pointed to cost of the equipment as well as the need to train and find personnel to operate them. Schools will decide where the clocks are installed, as long as they are in proper view of the court during play.

The Regis Jesuit girls tennis team exited the Class 5A girls tennis team state tournament with a 6-1 quarterfinal loss April 26 on the road against Ralston Valley.
The eighth-seeded Raiders — who were stopped in the same round last season by Cherry Creek in the inaugural season of the team state tournament — ran up against the top-seeded Mustangs and got their lone victory from the No. 4 doubles team of Helen Adams and Elise Holt, who won their match 7-5, 7-5.
It was the same score that Regis Jesuit won by in the opening round, as it defeated No. 9 Legacy 6-1 April 24 at Colorado Athletic Club Monaco. Adams and Holt were winners and led a doubles sweep completed by Lucy Filippini and Brenna Radebaugh (No. 1), Ebba Svard and Catherine Carolan (No. 2) and Torri Loftus and Lily Beebe (No. 3). The Raiders also claimed sin-
gles wins at the No. 1 (Rebecca Gelfer) and No. 3 (Otylia Martino) positions.
GIRLS TENNIS
The girls tennis regular season is complete and spots in the Class 5A and 4A individual state tournaments are at stake in regional play, which begin May 1 at multiple sites.
Regis Jesuit is one of the eight hosts of 5A regionals, as it will welcome a field that includes two other Aurora teams — Hinkley and Overland — to Colorado Athletic Club Monaco May 1-2. On those same dates, Eaglecrest and Rangeview will play in Region 1 at Cherry Creek High School, while Cherokee Trail is at the Arvada Tennis Center in Region 3 and Smoky Hill plays in the Region 8 tournament at Lebsack Tennis Center.
Aurora’s three 4A teams — Aurora Central, Gateway and Vista PEAK Prep — compete in the Region 2 tournament May 2-3, split between Kent Denver School and the Arapahoe Tennis Club.

he Community College of Aurora’s future looks a lot like its past.
Forty years after the first class of Community College of Aurora students donned caps and gowns and walked for their degrees, CCA President Mordecai Brownlee emulates the same spirit that made it all possible.
“I see every challenge as an opportunity,” Brownlee told the Sentinelafter his appointment as president about 18 months ago. “The challenge is ensuring the Community College of Aurora is seen as a primary factor of empowerment economically within our community.”
Mostly clad in a bow tie and also wearing an infectious smile, Brownlee and his family have become a primary factor in just about every aspect of Aurora community life, especially educational life.
“I am passionate about student success and I am passionate about bow ties,” Brownlee said when he accepted the position.
That passion for education is what sold him to local officials searching for the next college leader.
“We wanted someone with an entrepreneurial spirit who would expand CCA’s reach and partnerships, and experience in strategic enrollment management who will be able to reverse the declines in students and revenues facing the institution during these challenging times,” system Chancellor Joe Garcia said about Brownlee’s selection. “CCCS’s goals of diversity, equity and inclusion also called
for someone who will champion learning environments that promote student success for Aurora’s growing and increasingly diverse communities.”
That’s the same determination that breathed life into the college in 1983 when former Gov. Richard Lamm signed the state act creating the school. The moment came after decades of all levels of city and community leaders pushing for an independent school in Aurora that focused on the people who lived here.
The Sentinel, then the Aurora Sun and the Aurora Advocate, were staunch champions of creating the college, but the biggest push came from one generation of city council members to the next.
While the school has made huge strides in becoming a state gem in higher education — the college’s film school has more than once been tabbed by national experts as one of the top in the nation — supporters say it has not only remained true to its mission: providing education for those who want and need it, but building on that with Brownlee’s enthusiasm.
“He’s going to be able to take the college where we need to go,” former past CCA president Betsy Oudenhoven said when he was appointed. “He is the person that will take us to the next chapter.”
Read on to see what some of that next chapter will be, as well as look back at the moments that filled the four-decades of history of the Community College of Aurora.
CCA 30 years ago, encapsulated
A mask. A bottle of hand sanitizer. A Baby Yoda figurine. A fact sheet of information about Elijah McClain, accompanied by a miniature violin.
Those were some of the objects that the Community College of Aurora chose to represent 2020 for a time capsule that will be opened 30 years from now. The capsule will replace one from 1991, which was opened last year after 29 years.
The time capsule was the brainchild of then-college president Larry Carter. Installed on July 11, 1991, the contents were put in place in the ground outside the college’s classroom building, under a plaque instructing “to be opened in 2020.” Little did anyone know at the time what kind of year that would turn out to be.
Retired facilities manager Larry Steele, who helped create the capsule, did the honors of unveiling the contents. (The concrete seal, which took quite a bit of work to crack, was opened in advance by college facilities staff.)
The items from 1991 included a VHS tape with information about the college, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figurine, a plaque from the first graduating class in 1981, a graduation tassel, a copy of the college’s old student newspaper, the Highline Chronicle, and several print class schedules.
In 1991 the college was only
about a decade old and had a fraction of the population it does now. History instructors Paul Langston and Brandon Williams provided some context for what life was like in 1991 and how things have changed over the subsequent 29 years.
In 1991, the first Gulf War ended and the Soviet Union dissolved, Langston said. In South Africa, Nelson Mandela became president of the African National Congress after being released from prison for fighting apartheid. In Los Angeles, Rodney King was beaten by LAPD officers, an assault that sparked mass protests and riots the following year when none of the officers were charged.
The New York Giants won the Super Bowl, The Silence of the Lambs and Beauty and the Beast came out in theaters, and Cheers and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air were on TV.
The events that took place between 1991 and 2020 show us that “things indeed change but they also stay the same,” Williams said.
The fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War ushered in a new era of peace, but under Vladimir Putin Russian aggression is again on the rise. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 led to the war in Afghanistan, which has been underway for 19 of the 29 years the time capsule has been buried.
And just as people took to the streets after the Rodney King verdict, the deaths of George Floyd and
The Community College of Aurora has welcomed our diverse community with open arms for 40 years, eliminating barriers, providing a path to success and building a skilled workforce for Aurora.
Thank you for your impact on our world!
Elijah McClain led to sweeping protests against police brutality.
Though it’s easy to be discouraged by how little things have changed in some ways, it’s important to remember that the path towards racial equality is not linear, Williams said.
And despite the current chaos, the past three decades have created monumental changes as well, such as the election of Barack Obama, nationwide legalization of gay marriage and the rise of social media.
“It may not feel like it, but this is the most peaceful century in human existence,” Williams said.
After the capsule was opened, HR director Cindy Hesse displayed the items that will be placed in the new time capsule, which will be opened in 2050. Community members were asked to weigh in on what should be put in the capsule to represent 2020, with masks being the overwhelming top choice.
A CCA-branded mask along with hand sanitizer will be placed in, along with printouts of emails from college president Betsy Oudenhoven during the beginning of the pandemic when things were changing day-to-day.
“Clorox wipes are too valuable,” Hesse joked, saying the college couldn’t spare any for the future.
Opening the time capsule brought back a lot of memories for Steele, who said that though the

Apath for Aurora students to become police officers is once again taking shape at Community College of Aurora, as the school plans to welcome up to 20 cadets who would be fast-tracked into a career with the city’s police department.
Starting this fall, the school’s partnership with the Aurora Police Department would allow cadets to earn an associate’s degree of their choice while participating in a two-year “apprenticeship” with APD that would include a handful of days each month accompanying and learning from officers.
Cadets will also take part in a week-long “boot camp” and work in a non-sworn capacity for the city — for example, helping to manage parking at events — according to Bobby Pace, vice president of academic success at Community College of Aurora.
The program will cover the cost of cadets’ schooling if they go on to work for at least three years at APD. Pace said the four semesters of tuition and books, worth about $12,000, will be paid for using donations and contributions from the Aurora Police Association Charitable Foundation as well as by the college itself.
“The selling point for us was that it ensures the programming we provide directly
does lead to economic and social mobility for the students within Aurora,” Pace said.
“Students are truly going to get a free education with a direct pipeline to be able to serve the community.”
Cadets who complete the program and are unable or do not want to continue down the path of becoming a police officer may also choose to work for the City of Aurora for three years to have their schooling paid for.
Community College of Aurora was home to its own police academy until last year, when it was allowed to sunset amid a decline in enrollment as more departments in the Denver metro area ramped up their own in-house academies, according to Pace.
Police spokesman Joe Moylan said the idea for the new partnership developed in 2022 under former interim chief Dan Oates, who Pace said was familiar with similar programs that served as pipelines for the New York Police Department.
While both the college and police department hope to open up career paths in Aurora for Aurorans, undertaking recruitment in such a way that the city’s sworn officer force more closely resembles the community as a whole is one of the specific goals of APD’s reform agreement with the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.
“We have heard from community members that, in addition to seeing themselves
reflected in the officers who serve Aurora, they want the department to be (composed) of more ‘home-grown’ officers,” Moylan wrote in an email.
“We also recognize that the student bodies of community colleges tend to be made up of people who grew up and live in the community. We think people who grew up, live and understand Aurora provide unique advantages to serving the community.”
Since the reform agreement was signed, APD has introduced efforts like the 30x30 Initiative, pledging to raise the portion of women in recruit classes to at least 30% by 2030, and stepped up community outreach to encourage women and people of color, both historically underrepresented among Aurora police officers, to apply.
Recruitment is one area of the agreement where APD is making visible progress. Earlier this year, the department reported that the three classes completing academy training represented the largest group of recruits to progress through the academy at once since at least 2020. Demographically, the group was closer to the makeup of the community as a whole.
Moylan and Pace also called attention to the fact that one of the requirements for promotion to higher ranks within the department is education beyond high school, meaning the cadet program has the potential to train the next generation of leaders
within APD.
“You must have, at minimum, an associate’s degree to promote to supervisory positions in the department,” Moylan wrote. “By helping cadets earn their degree, we are laying the foundation for them to have a long and successful career in law enforcement, as well as attracting the future leaders of APD.”
Cadet candidates must be at least 18, are expected to maintain a grade point average of 2.5 or higher for the duration of the program and can’t have earned more than 12 college credit hours previously. They also can’t have been convicted of a felony or any other crime that would prevent them from being certified by the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training Board.
Moylan said cadets will be pre-screened before entering the program and undergo the department’s full background investigation and screening process before they are formally offered a job.
Applications are being accepted until June 6 for the first cadet class, which will begin Aug. 19 and start training with Aurora police Aug. 23. Information about the program and application process is available at buff.ly/3QocscM.
“It has really become an opportunity for us to have a great pipeline for students who are interested in law enforcement and want to work here in the community and stay in Aurora,” Pace said.
college’s programming and enrollment have changed dramatically the campus still looks very similar. One thing that’s changed are the campus’ trees, which are much bigger than they were in the early 90s.
“This place has a lot of meaning for me,” he said.
— Sentinel Staff WriterIt started with a few simple words, words that had changed with the charge of violence and tragedy.
In the weeks and months after July 20, 2012, they were words that helped reform Stacey D’Angelo’s plans for the fall semester at the Community College of Aurora. They made D’Angelo, the college’s theater director, rethink how she would approach her craft and communicate with her students. As the toll of the shootings at the Century Aurora 16 theater became clear, they turned into words with the potential to heal a battered community.
“A couple of months ago, if you heard the words ‘theater’ and ‘Aurora,’ your mind would go to one place,” said D’Angelo, who had originally planned to stage an original production about military veterans. “I immediately said I can’t do a piece about war and post-traumatic stress disorder … I felt charged to do something, I felt that this department (was) called to do something.”
“Glimpses – The Rising Dawn” is a bid to reclaim those words by D’Angelo and her students. The original stage production that will debut next week is a collective response to a community tragedy, a production that tackles deep-seated fears and wounds with candid expression and heartfelt confession. The idea for the show stemmed from the tragedy that claimed 12 lives and injured dozens, but its final form will touch on more universal themes.
“It’s not about the tragedy, it’s about healing,” said Aisha Spencer, a CCA drama student who wrote segments for the piece and who will star in the production. “It’s moments in our lives that have made us become a better person. It’s our fears, our dreams. It’s a way to show that we are strong as humans and we will find hope and strength no matter what.”
D’Angelo and the students took their cues for the show from a similar stage project from 2008, a production titled “Glimpses” that drew on personal, firsthand input and anecdotes from students. The show combined the firsthand stories in a single format, testimonials that touched on similar themes.
“When we did ‘Glimpses’ the first time, it was a community coming together, sharing their stories,” D’Angelo said. “They took the directions of going to the depths of who we are and what we strive to be, what we’re confused about, what our fears are … It did for the community then what we really needed now.”
“We’re trying to heal the word ‘theater,’” said James Brunt, a CCA drama student whose past stage
work was limited to short, one-act pieces. The format and freedom of the new version of “Glimpses” has been both demanding and liberating for Brunt, he said, but the show’s mission is unique. “Now, when people hear the word ‘theater,’ they think of shootings. We’re trying reclaim our theater. This is what we do. This is what we do for a living is put on a performance. We don’t people to be terrified of going to a simple play. We want to show them that it’s OK, that they can feel comfortable and show them that this is a community. We can heal together. We can still enjoy things.”
The format was similar to the structure of “The Laramie Project,” the drama by Moisés Kaufman and members of the Tectonic Theater Project that came as a reaction to the brutal murder of Andrew Shepard in 1998. According to Therese Jones, a director at the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the Anschutz Medical Campus, the approach hearkens back to the ancient history of the art form.
“For the ancient Greeks, theater became this public and communal form. I think that something like ‘Glimpses’ works in that traditional form of theater,” said Jones, who studied the theater community’s response to the AIDS epidemic in the 1990s. “Theater has its basis in religious ceremony. For the people who attend ‘Glimpses,’ they will be a part of this communal ritual of healing.”
That kind of catharsis is a central part of the production, D’Angelo said, an approach that seeks reinvention through pain and stark truths. Hopefully, that kind of brutal honesty will leave an imprint on audience members and the wider community.
“Maybe when they leave they’ll hear the words ‘theater’ and ‘Aurora’ and they’ll think of community and love and sharing and togetherness,” D’Angelo said. “They’ll not think about ugliness and fear and panic.”

None of the hardships were slight. None of the impediments were ordinary.
Regularly, the Sentinel and other media feature graduating students who have extraordinary stories about their journey to get a cap and gown. This Sentinel feature from 2012 reflects not the just the spirit of many students, but of the mission of the college, too.
There was the former convict who had served more than six years in prison. With the help of a director from a local police academy, he carved out a route toward an associate degree and a career as a personal trainer. A couple from North Sudan in Africa who had come to Colorado knowing only a few words of English are both fluent and training for work in engineering and auto repair. A drama student who worked even harder to perfect her craft and create new work after dis-
covered she had lymphoma.
Such were the stories on display during the Community College of Aurora’s Student Success Awards ceremony held at the school’s CentreTech campus on Dec. 7, 2012. A group of 22 students from the college accepted honors from their professors and their peers. Each had been nominated for their academic achievements, but the recognition went deeper. Every one of the honorees had faced particular hardships, challenges that seem insurmountable on their surface.
Take Jack Howard, who went to high school in Colorado but failed to receive a diploma after moving to California. Howard fell in with the wrong crowd. He spent more than six years in prison, where he received his GED and started to consider a new direction.
“When I was younger, I used to dream about stuff like this, any kind of recognition. It means a lot to me,” said Howard, 45, after receiving very public praise from CCA’s Michael Carter and other faculty. He compared his future to the rough path he’d faced as a younger man with no high school diploma and little direction. “It was a dead end, all dead ends. I’d been on the side of the road and seen how people really live.”
A fresh start came in working with faculty like Carter, the director of the school’s Police Academy program who encouraged Howard in more ways than one. With the help of Carter and other faculty, Howard made his way through the school’s Personal Trainer Academy and now works part-time at the CCA gym, guiding students bound for careers as police officers.
“We had to go through some struggles to get me in to a job here,” Howard said. “Giving people with my background a second chance means a whole lot.”

Signed maroon and yellow pennants line a wall in Valerie Sangiuliano’s office — memories of colleagues and friends that walked through the Community College of Aurora’s registrar office. Sangiuliano is one of the few people left from her generation.
Sanguiliano first stepped onto the CCA campus as a young adult in 1992.
“I took a year off after high school, and wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with my life,” Sangiuliano said. Her mom has talked with people who worked at the college and they recommended she attend Aurora’s “home school.”
“I had a conversation with my mom, the next thing I know, August of 1992, I started my classes on the CCA campus,” she said. Sangiuliano graduated in 1995 with an Associates of Arts degree, becoming the first person in her family to get college credentials.
Sangiuliano’s first job on campus was at the Learning Resource Center, which is now called The
Hub, and she helped students type on computers. Six months later, she started working in the registration department helping students register for classes. Other than a few brief stints at other companies and other departments within CCA, Sangiuliano has spent three decades working in the registrar’s office.
Sangiuliano’s passion for her career comes from watching her blue-collar parents move around from job to job. “There was no stability,” she said. “I wanted stability. I wanted community. I wanted to feel a part of something…and I think I have that.”
Sangiuliano said that despite working at the same office for decades, the work is far from boring.
When Sangiuliano first came to the community college campus as a student, the only CCA campus was on CentreTech. She remembers the campus encompassing just the main building, a classroom building and a fine arts building. Her classes also used to be held in local high school classrooms.
The Lowry campus hadn’t been opened yet. It was still a fading Air Force Base. That same year, construction was still underway to build
the Denver International Airport. Earlier that summer, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” aired its first episode, and the country was months away from electing Bill Clinton as President.
Since then, the campus has grown to include a student center and the Larry Carter Black Box Theater. The community college is also building a new STEM building which is slated to open in the fall of 2025.
The biggest change Sangiuliano has seen during her tenure at the registrar’s office is the internet.
The line of students who needed to register for classes used to wrap around the hallways, Sangiuliano said when reminiscing about her time working in the student service office. The work was all done manually and the employees helped students find and enroll for classes. But the internet made the process much faster, and students can now do this on the college’s website.
“I can remember when we first got our computers with a mouse. Nobody knew how to use a mouse, so we were all learning and practicing together,” she said.
Sangiuliano attributed the changes and growth to the community col-
lege’s past presidents, as well the current president, Mordecai Brownlee.
“This is my favorite time at CCA in all of my career because so much is changing. So much is happening, so much is evolving,” she said.
Sangiuliano will be eligible to retire in four years, but says she has enough energy to hang around the office for another 10 years. She has no plans to work for another three decades, but she would still like to volunteer in the community after she retires.
When asked to give advice to high school students who, like her, were unsure about what to do after school, Sanguiliano said that people shouldn’t be discouraged from pursuing an education. She referenced her own experience of how she came to the community college and how she didn’t earn her bachelor’s degree until 2015.
She also encouraged young people to “just go with the flow” and not to worry so much about the obstacles they may encounter.
“My advice is, don’t stop. Look ahead. Don’t look back,” Sanguiliano said. “Education is still here. And that’s the beauty of it.”
7, Carter sang his student’s praises, insisting that “it doesn’t matter what you’ve been, it’s what you’ve become.”
The rest of the honorees faced different kinds of struggles. Anxiety disorders. An adolescence spent between group homes, foster homes and jail. Life as a single parent. These were the obstacles faced by just a few of the students who accepted awards last week. What’s more Jennifer Bird, Bethany Even, Michelle Twaddell and James Fountain received scholarships worth $500.
For the professors who nominated the honorees and told their stories to an audience that included CCA President Alton Scales, Commerce Bank Chairman Jim Lewien and published poet and retired English professor Wayne Gilbert, the tales of hardship and determination perfectly summed up the mission of the Community College of Aurora.
“This is an example of how CCA works,” Carter said. “We transform lives.”

THAT’S A TAKE: Film school gives Aurora refugee students a
Hafsa Ali’s first meal in the U.S. was about as stereotypically American as it gets: McDonald’s french fries and a paper cup of crimson ketchup.
“We were just sitting there all huddled up together and this guy from Somalia (who) worked at the airport started speaking Somali and was like, ‘Oh my gosh, you guys must be hungry,’” said Ali, a 17-year-old student at Aurora West College Preparatory Academy and Junior Staff at Downtown Aurora Visual Arts. “And he just went and came back, and then got us some fries and talked to my mom and stayed with my mom until we had to go to the airplane, and then come to Denver.”
That memorable first bite of food on U.S. soil happened at a New York airport about six years ago, which was when Ali, along with her 13-year-old sister, Halima, arrived in the country after spending seven years as refugees in Uganda. Born is Somalia, Hafsa fled her native country when she was 4 years old. The journey to Uganda was harrowing, and involved goats — lots of goats.
“The only way to escape was through a truck full of goats … I was four, but I don’t think I would have liked it now,” Hafsa said, chuckling. “And then we were in the truck for a long while and we went to Uganda.”
That tale of Somalian exodus is one of several featured in “Coming to America,” a film Hafsa and three of her peers at DAVA — Falastin Khalif, Nasra Hussein and Benita Deragli — created in about two weeks this summer at the annual Colorado Film School’s Film Camp for Kids. The program grants about two dozen DAVA students access to the CFS facilities on the nearby Community College of Aurora at Lowry campus every summer.
This year, the “Coming to America” crew was tabbed for a “silver key” award from the Colorado Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, joining two other films created by DAVA students in this year’s crop of winners.
Hafsa’s sister Halima, along with students Katherine Quiche and Melissa Caudillo, won an honorable mention for their short film “Finding Our Way Home,” and Marco Benitez won a “gold key” prize for his animation “Bob and the Eraser.” The gold key designation earns Benitez, an eighth-grader at the Denver School of Science and Technology’s Con-
servatory Green Middle School, a chance to win an additional national award later this year.
Selected from a pool of more than 5,000 submissions, several hundred students from across Colorado were named Scholastic Art and Writing Award winners this year in categories ranging from filmmaking to studio art to jewelry.
Students from DAVA have had their films shown at the annual premier for several consecutive years, which is largely due to the partnership the local arts organization started with the Colorado Film School nearly a decade ago, according to Susan Jenson, executive director at DAVA.

grad says turbulent career start, high school career won’t dissuade her from goal of law school
Ryan Manzanares kept turning the small wooden block over in her hand as she talked about the power of three.
She’d just received the patterned piece of wood as a graduation gift from a fellow student at the Community College of Aurora, a mentor who insisted that the object was a talisman bearing an important message. The simple shapes carved into the wood held symbolic meaning, Manzanares explained as she sat on a bench at CCA’s CentreTech Campus a few days before her graduation. The engraved circles and lines spoke to a common pattern behind life’s most major upsets and victories.
“Everything happens in threes,” Manzanares said, before applying the rule to the most important recent events in her own life. She ticked off a list of two defeats and a major victory: dropping out of high school, going through a traumatic stint working at a major corporation and, finally, graduating from CCA. “Now I’m back up to the top. That’s the big picture.”
Manzanares, then 25, kept that big picture in mind as she walked across the stage along with 238 fellow CCA graduates during the school’s graduation ceremony on May 11. It’s a larger perspective that helped her make the transition from a shy and quiet freshman still scarred by past trauma to an outspoken activist at the top of her outgoing class. It helped pull her through the stress and strain of losing her mother, of having to be the live-in caretaker for her father.
“I was so nervous about school. It was really big for me,” Manzanares said, recalling the first classes she took more than two years ago. “I’m the first person in my family to start (college).”
Being the first family member to attend college wasn’t the only source of stress when Manzanares signed up for her first CCA courses. She’d already been through the toll of dropping out of high school, a decision that forced her to look
for steady and reliable work as a teenager. The job she found quickly turned traumatic. She was sexually harassed on the job, and the culprit initially went unpunished. After a lengthy legal battle, her harasser was fired and she came away with a settlement that barred her from mentioning the name of her former employer.
She’d been vindicated in a legal sense, but Manzanares was left with no job and no income. The decision to sign up for classes at CCA came after plenty of emotional trauma.
“I was like, ‘What do I do now?’ I was 22, I’d been in machine operating,” she said. “I was really nervous and really quiet. I used to wear all black. I didn’t want to talk to anybody.”
It was the school’s faculty that helped bring her out of her shell, and in a big way. With encouragement from teachers and CCA staff like Director of Student Life Angie Tiedeman, Manzanares found her niche at the school. She started participating in student government. She joined the honor society Phi Theta Kappa. In her role as vice chair for the Student Advisory Council, Manzanares spoke on behalf of her fellow students during debates about Senate Bill 165, which would have allowed community colleges to grant four-year degrees.
That kind of activism, developed in political science classes at CCA, didn’t end with Manzanares’ graduation earlier this month. She’s planning on starting at the University of Denver in the fall for her bachelor’s degree. She wants to move on to law school after that, and eventually find a job in law. Ultimately, she wants to start her own homeless rehabilitation center.
In order to realize those goals, Manzanares knows she’ll have to keep the bigger perspective in mind. As she pulled the small wooden talisman from her purse, she framed her ambitions in terms of three.
Manzanares went on to obtain a degree from Denver University and work in criminal justice system in the region.

The Regional Transportation District gave the community college’s Office of Student Advocacy $22,440 “to support individuals who need a reliable transportation option to get to campus. It provides 816 standard 10-ride ticket books, each valued at $27.50,” according to a press statement from the community college.
“On behalf of CCA, I want to express our deepest appreciation for all those involved in selecting our institution to receive these funds. Our students deserve the ability to attend our institution free from challenges, such as the lack of reliable transportation, that present barriers to their pursuit of economic mobility. Resources such as these aid in removing another barrier,”
CCA President Mordecai Brownlee said in the statement.
RTD set aside $1 million for this grant program, called the Transit Assistant Grant, in response to a 2023 analysis. According to the press statement, RTD received 211 applications from various organizations for funding, and awarded money to 181 of them.
“This inaugural program was intentionally designed to meet pressing and urgent needs in the community, whether that be immediate access to essential services or assisting during times of crisis, supporting the unhoused or aiding newcomers to the metro area,” Debra A. Johnson, Denver RTD general manager and CEO, said in the press statement.

On a rainy Friday in Denver, Esmeralda Cuevas-Lara stands in a classroom at Metropolitan State University holding a water bottle to her lips in place of a microphone. As a few other students sit in desks watching, Cuevas-Lara belts out lyrics from the Mexican mariachi ballad “El Herradero.”
“Ay, qué linda, qué rechula las fiestas de mi rancho…,” she sings in Spanish.
Cuevas-Lara moved to Longmont from Guanajuato, Mexico when she was 15 years old. The song, she said, brings her back there.
“This is my favorite song to sing, because the song is about the festivals in Bajío, Mexico, and I’m from Bajío–from Guanajuato,” she said in Spanish. “I love being able to represent that region, that’s so full of color, culture and music.”
Cuevas-Lara, a senior at Skyline High School in Longmont, is one of many students from across the state and country who convened at the university over the weekend for the Viva Southwest Mariachi Conference. From beginner trumpeters to advanced vocalists, the university’s King Center was full of vibrant sound as young people honed their musicianship and met others passionate about traditional Mexican folk music over the course of Friday and Saturday.
The conference encourages students to improve their skills, but it is also an opportunity to celebrate part of Colorado’s cultural heritage, said conference co-director Lorenzo Trujillo.
“This was Mexico, and the border crossed us,” he said. “It’s part of Colorado’s historical tapestry, and it’s important that we recognize it.”
Some mariachi instruments are common household names, like the trumpet and the guitar. But others, like the guitarrón and the vihuela, are unique to the musical genre. Sixteen-yearold Julissa Enriquez, also from Skyline High in Longmont, attended the conference to work on her guitarrón skills.
“The guitarrón is like a really big guitar, basically, but it’s the base of the mariachi. It keeps, like, the entire mariachi in time, and it’s just way lower than the guitar,” she said. “I got interested because there was, like, a showcase at school, and I was just like, ‘Wow, they sound so good!’”
The conference attracts top mariachi instructors to work with students. This year, Disney World’s Mariachi Cobre was on hand to guide and encourage the next generation. The band’s guitarist Omar Olivas said teaching children to play mariachi is joyful–but it also has deeper meaning.
“Folk music sometimes dies off with time, and with generations, because, you know, new music comes in. And while new music is great, I think it’s always important to learn and to keep that traditional folk music alive,” he said. “It ties you to your ancestors, it ties you to your homeland.”
As Friday afternoon wore into evening, students began to trade their jeans and T-shirts for the colorful ruffled shirts and adorned suit jack-
ets of mariachi concert attire. Some strummed vihuelas as they walked the halls toward the stage while others told jokes secretively before putting on the faces of serious musicians once again.
Cuevas-Lara said she was preparing for a solo at the student showcase that night.
“I’m a little nervous because I want to do the best that I can,” she said in Spanish. “There’s always going to be fear that something could go wrong, but I also want to enjoy it as much as possible, to represent my school and Mexico.”
Come performance time, there was plenty of enjoyment to be had. What began as a smattering of mariachi groups performing in the halls and stages of the King Center around 5 p.m. Friday soon turned into an all-out jamboree of mariachi bands of all ages playing in any available crevice of the center’s main hall. Crowds watched as folklórico dancers spun around and mariachi bands–some of them with members as young as elementary school–produced sounds that made the snowfall outside feel like sunshine.
Olivas of Mariachi Cobre said he encouraged his students at the conference to remember that their audience wants the best for them–and he couldn’t wait to see them put the new techniques they’d learned into practice.
“When you’re standing in front of all these strangers, like I told them in the classes, everybody that’s watching you wants you to succeed. They want you to do good,” Olivas said. “It just brings me joy to see them up on the stage.”
er, they play a brand of Celtic music that’s both timeless and innovative, a take on the genre the Celtic Connection calls “unique in Colorado –and perhaps in the country.”

CAT is a free program at DAVA. You are expected to attend class 4-6 hours each week after school between Tuesday and Friday, and you earn a small stipend for your hard work. Come to DAVA to fill out your application and join.
Also, families are an important part of community cultural development. Introduce your child to the creative process while developing their imagination, motor skills, and school-readiness. The Family Arts program at DAVA is designed for children ages 3-6 with a parent or guardian. Classes are free and can be attended on a drop-in basis, but they fill up fast.

For six straight decades, only one unstoppable force has flat-out dominated popular culture-breaking down barriers, pushing boundaries and letting nothing and no one stand in her way. The Cher Show is the Tony Award®-winning musical of her story, and it’s packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the kid starting out, the glam pop star, and the icon. The Cher Show is 35 smash hits, six decades of stardom, two rock-star husbands, a Grammy, an Oscar, an Emmy, and enough Tony Award-winning Bob Mackie gowns to cause a sequin shortage in New York City, all in one unabashedly fabulous new musical that will have audiences dancing in the aisles.

She later told reporters that she wasn’t expecting much from the trials and wasn’t surprised Cooper avoided prison time. “We won, Elijah won,” she said.
Experts say the convictions would have been unheard of before 2020, when George Floyd’s murder sparked a nationwide reckoning over racist policing and deaths in police custody.
At least 94 people died after they were given sedatives and restrained by police from 2012 through 2021, according to findings by The Associated Press in collaboration with FRONTLINE (PBS) and the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism.
McClain’s name became a rallying cry in protests over racial injustice in policing that swept the U.S. in 2020.
“Without the reckoning over criminal justice and how people of color suffer at much higher rates from police use of force and violence, it’s very unlikely that anything would have come of this, that there would have been any charges, let alone convictions,” said David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor and expert on racial profiling.
Harris added that juries are often reluctant to second guess the actions of police and other first responders.
“It’s still very hard to convict,” he said.
Cooper said during the hearing that he was sorry he couldn’t save McClain.
“I want you to know that I would give anything to have a different outcome, Elijah,” Cooper said as if he were talking to McClain. “I never, ever meant for anyone to hurt you.”
He added that he wished he knew more at the time, implying that he could have used that knowledge to help McClain.
Sheneen McClain walked out of the courtroom as Cooper was speaking but later returned.
Prosecutor Jason Slothouber had asked the judge to incarcerate Cooper and argued that the paramedic was “singularly most responsible” for McClain’s death because Cooper gave him a “massive overdose” of ketamine.
Cooper was not taken into custody after the hearing. He declined to comment as he walked out of the courthouse with his wife and supporters.
Judge Warner previously sentenced ex-paramedic Peter Cichuniec in March to five years in prison. He faced the most serious of the charges in the case. It was the shortest sentence allowed under the law.
Warner sentenced officer Randy Roedema to 14 months in jail with work release for criminally negligent homicide and misdemeanor assault.
Prosecutors initially declined to pursue charges related to McClain’s death when an autopsy did not determine how he died. Democratic Gov. Jared Polis ordered the investigation reopened in 2020.
The second autopsy said McClain died because he was injected with ketamine after being forcibly restrained.
Since the killings of Floyd, McClain and others put a spotlight on police custody deaths, many departments, paramedic units and those that train them have reexamined how they treat suspects.
Medical experts said by the time he received the sedative, McClain already was in a weakened state from forcible restraint that rendered him temporarily unconscious.
McClain was not armed, nor accused of breaking any laws. He went into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital and died three days later.
The Colorado health department has since told paramedics not to give ketamine to people suspected of having excited delirium, described in a since-withdrawn emergency physicians’ report as manifesting symptoms including increased strength. A doctors group has called it an unscientific definition rooted in racism.
The protests over McClain and Floyd also ushered in a wave of state legislation to curb the use of neck holds. At least 27 states including Colorado have passed some limit on the practices. Only two had bans in place before Floyd was killed.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT IN THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS FILED IN THIS COURT UNDER THE “UNIFORM DISSOLUTION OF
AND “UNIFORM CHILD CUSTODY JURISDICTION” ACTS, due diligence has been used to obtain
Cooper’s attorney and wife and fellow firefighters urged the judge to show leniency. They described him saving people from fires, jumping into floodwaters to help an older woman and using CPR to try to save a child who died in a fire.
Sheneen McClain said outside the courthouse Friday that the only closure she got was that the trials and sentencings were over.
“It doesn’t matter what anybody else does to wipe the blood of my son off their hands,” she said. “It’s already there.”
