AURORA’S HOME COURT

City’s ‘tough love’ program includes new court to help move homeless people from tents to homes

‘Tough love’ treatment of Aurora’s homeless means ‘tough luck’ for all

It’s safe to say that regardless of your political and philosophical views about homelessness, everyone agrees that having homeless people not be homeless is the best possible outcome in this growing and persistent crisis.

Much of Aurora and the metroplex find it heartbreaking that so many people, thousands of them, risk their lives almost daily without a home or even the backseat of a car to sleep in.

Much of Aurora is also fed up with often dangerous road-side encampments, burrowing into neighborhoods, becoming cauldrons of drug abuse, crime and misery.

And, despite what some say, almost all of the homeless people themselves would much prefer life with a bathroom, food, safety and retreat from the elements that having a home offers.

With everyone sharing the same ultimate goal, it’s especially disappointing that Aurora and the metroplex continue to spend hundreds of millions of dollars without even beginning to attain our mutual goal. Aurora lawmakers have a new old idea: “tough love.”

This 1960s philosophy that “father knows best” has been applied to just about every social and personal ill available. The general idea is that it’s more compassionate to hurt someone for their own good, than to just sympathize or accommodate their dysfunction.

It was a big deal when I was in school and kids got “grounded” or even arrested by truancy police for ditching school all the time.

The notion that you have to be “cruel to be kind” appeals mostly to people who see the world as black-and-white. It’s all choices and consequences. It’s an extension of “spare the rod, spoil the child.”

The problem is, these are not children.

These are real people who don’t have a place to live. Many of them have debilitating mental illness, physical health problems or addictions. They don’t live on the streets and beg for a few dollars to buy whatever meth, bourbon or fentanyl they can get because they’re spoiled. It’s because they’re sick, sometimes to the point of being nearly broken.

The idea that these people just don’t know better, and that they just need the fear of jail to get their attention, is quaint and wholly unrealistic.

That’s not just my opinion, nor is it only the opinion of an army of homeless activists and workers who see for themselves every single day what does and doesn’t work.

Multiple vetted studies consistently show that cajoled or mandated drug and alcohol addiction treatment doesn’t work.

“Evidence does not, on the whole, suggest improved outcomes related to compulsory treatment approaches, with some studies suggesting potential harms,” seven expert authors concluded in a 2016 review of nine qualified studies of a tough-love approach to trying to compel addicts to end their addictions.

I understand how attractive this philosophy is to some people. It’s based on the idea that, faced with dire consequences, like having to stay in your room with no TV, or even losing everything, humans will pull up.

When facing the worst, some people will quit drinking to save a marriage. They’ll quit meth to save their job. They’ll quit gambling to keep the house.

But more often than not, people keep drinking, gambling and doing meth, and lose it all.

What’s more, so many of these homeless people have nothing left to lose. They have nothing.

For some, a couple of weeks in jail isn’t a bad thing. It’s warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It’s safer than waking up under a bridge to someone stealing what few items you have. It’s a respite from the harsh existence so many people suffer through without a home.

Addictions are gargantuan obstacles for anyone, and especially for those who’ve already hit rock bottom.

It doesn’t mean that there won’t be at least a handful of homeless people in Aurora shuffled into the right place at the right time to pull away from their issues, get a job, a home and rejoin everyone playing by the rules.

But what’s really going to happen is that the vast majority of people who are homeless, and camping along roads, at the back of parks and under viaducts will be shooed away to another road, another park, another viaduct. Probably, they’ll be shuffled to Denver or beyond. And the homeless people in those communities will be shuffled over here.

Many will go to jail, on fail-to-appear-in-court warrants most likely, hang out there for a few weeks, at extraordinary taxpayer expense, and then find a new place to camp.

It’s sad that Aurora finds itself right where it was a couple of years ago when Tough Love Version 1.0 was introduced by much of the same city council.

We all want the same thing. It seems that with such a solid common goal, it would be easy to work together to reach it. Maybe next time.

How an Aurora SWAT unit failed in Kilyn Lewis’ safe arrest warrants explanation

Rightfully, much of Aurora has lost patience with the police department and its inability to stop fatally shooting Black people.

As absurd as that sounds, it’s an undeniable and wholly preventable truth.

Aurora police and city lawmakers, again, have been the recent target of intense and justifiable public vitriol after Aurora SWAT Officer Michael Dieck shot and killed Kilyn Lewis May 23 as a SWAT unit tried to arrest the 37-year-old Denver man in an Aurora condo parking lot.

For more than an hour Monday, Aurora City Council members were subjected to a barrage of accusations, innuendo and castigation by Lewis’ family members and a variety of local residents and activists.

Borne out of frustration by a police department that just can’t prevent the abuse and wrongful death of Black men and boys at the hands of officers, family members and others demand city lawmakers fire Dieck and press for criminal murder charges in the shooting death.

That can’t and shouldn’t happen.

City lawmakers make policy. They are expressly, and rightfully, forbidden from handling city and police personnel issues. City legislators and, especially, police cannot “charge” anyone with any type of crime.

That’s solely the responsibility of criminal prosecutors and the courts.

Officer Dieck deserves and is entitled to due process, which the man he shot to death wasn’t afforded.

Only a thorough and qualified investigation, outside of the Aurora police department, and scrutiny of that investigation will reveal whether criminal charges against Dieck are winnable, or even warranted.

Despite what investigators from the 18th Judicial District may conclude, questions and concerns raised by the information released so far are compelling in the case.

First, Aurora Police should discontinue creating their curated, narrated videos of officer-involved shootings. Despite the best intentions of offering transparency to the community, the dearth of community trust in the police department only makes these productions inflammatory. Police should release complete and unedited video to the public and allow the media to ask questions of police officials for details.

As for the Lewis shooting, offering the public a look at how the shooting occurred without the ability to clarify what they saw further undermines trust in police.

Everyone has the same questions:

Why did Dieck alone fire at Lewis if four other officers saw the same thing at the same time in real time?

Why would Dieck fire at Lewis after he raised his arms, with his cell phone clearly in view, and not as he was pulling an “unknown” object from his pocket and as he raised it?

But the most compelling question has to do with why this botched arrest ever occurred.

Lewis is accused of inadvertently shooting a bystander in Denver in early May. Denver Police reports indicate Lewis was embroiled in some kind of dispute at a Denver liquor store and fired a gun from his car, allegedly aiming for someone involved in the dispute. Instead, a round struck a man who suffers from low vision in the shoulder, injuring him.

Denver police say they were able to identify Lewis as a shooting suspect from witness testimony and videotape.

Aurora police have not detailed how they became involved in the case and the search for Lewis, but they did say that the Aurora SWAT unit conducted extensive surveillance of Lewis, determining he would be at a local condo parking lot.

This is exactly what the SWAT unit is created for and trained to do, subdue and arrest subjects, even under extreme and difficult situations. While dynamics of patrol officers in squad cars rolling up hot to chaotic crime scenes make officer-involved shootings understandable in some situations, the fatal shooting of Lewis by an 8-year-veteran of the SWAT team at a wide open scene totally under police control is anathema to the role of SWAT units.

Instead, Dieck appears to have been “trigger happy” or unable to discern a realas-opposed-to-perceived threat during the arrest.

Only a valid and detailed investigation will reveal what went wrong during the operation, but police should step up and make clear, SWAT units are trained to prevent what happened to Lewis during arrests.

We agree with many police critics who push back at those insisting that Lewis was to blame for his own death at the hands of police. Police are not courts, nor are they executioners.

While the city is in no position to criticize nor defend Dieck and other officers, they must assure the public that they can trust the department to accurately assess the problem and offer a workable, verifiable solution.

As for restoring credibility in the department and its operations, only a truly independent oversight position or committee can do that. Nothing else is a substitute.

It’s the Supreme Court, stupid

Well, hallelujah! At long last, Democrats are poised to highlight our highest court as a top-tier campaign issue.

The opposition camp has been doing this for decades – to devastating effect, as you may have noticed – so it’s nice that the Dems are finally waking up. It’s a tad late, of course, but better late than never.

President Biden made the wake-up call at a fundraiser last weekend. He correctly warned that if Trump is reinstalled in the Oval Office, the convicted felon will likely have the opportunity to appoint a few more MAGA jurists to the Supreme Court.

Or, as Biden himself put it, “he’s going to appoint two more flying flags upside down,” a barbed reference to you know who. That would be “one of the scariest” aspects of a convicted felon administration.”

The president said, “The Supreme Court has never been as out of kilter as it is today, I mean never,” citing the theocratic decree that overturned women’s right to bodily autonomy – although he could easily have mentioned any number of decisions (including last week’s ruling that puts rapid-fire machine guns back into the hands of American lunatics), plus the court’s slow-mo deliberations on presidential immunity, which have all but guaranteed that the convicted felon, prior to the 2024 election, will not face a federal jury verdict for fomenting an attempted coup.

But Biden did call out crooked Clarence Thomas’ recent contention that the court “should reconsider” its rulings codifying contraception and gay marriages. Regarding the latter threat, Biden said: “Not on my watch.” (Why would the court reconsider those rulings? I thought that conservatives pride themselves on respecting judicial precedent.) So bravo, Joe.

Granted, the Biden campaign needs to highlight a lot of things – like his first-term domestic achievements (a huge list, starting with the strongest post-pandemic economy in the western world, assuming that voters are willing to process factual reality), his second-term goals (all of which have been itemized, assuming voters are willing to pay attention), his vow to defeat fascism at home, and his characteristic decency – in sharp contrast to the felon’s babbling imbecility.

But between now and November, Biden and his surrogates need to hammer the Supreme court issue 24/7. Just as conservative Republicans have been doing for umpteen presidential election cycles dating back to the late 20th century.

I’m frankly at pains to explain why most blue voters (especially blue-leaning voters who stay home) have never seemed to understand that whoever sits in the Oval has the power to shape the bench that has the final say on virtually every hot-button issue in American life. Conservatives said that out loud in 2000 when they coalesced around George W. Bush – who later gave us Sam Alito. They said it with peak fervor in 2016 when they rallied around Trump. They knew he was a lowlife, but so what.

John Boehner, the ex-House Republican speaker, said it best in 2016. He admitted that Trump’s behavior “disgusted” him, but “the only thing that really matters over the next four years or eight years is who is going to appoint the next Supreme Court nominees…The biggest impact any president can have on American society and on the American economy is who’s on that court.” They didn’t care about purity; they understand what it takes to seize and exercise power. By contrast, the Dems in that consequential year didn’t campaign on the future of the court; they were far too invested in finding fault with Hillary Clinton. And the subsequent exit polls told the tale: Among the 14 percent of voters who said the court was “a minor factor” in their balloting decision, Clinton won by nine points; among the 14 percent of voters who said the court was “not a factor at all,” Clinton won by 18. But among the 21 percent of voters who cited the court as the “most important” factor, Trump swamped Clinton by 15. And those stats don’t include all the Democratic leaners who embraced Jill Stein or simply sat on their rears at home.

Presumably – if Biden’s comments are any indication – Dems have finally learned their lesson. If the death of Roe v. Wade can’t wake them up, nothing will.

CITY REELS AGAIN FROM POLICE SHOOTING OF UNARMED BLACK MAN

Protesters twice forced Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman to halt the June 24 city council meeting and step out of the room as they screamed, taunted and chanted at lawmakers, accusing them of indifference to the shooting of Kilyn Lewis by Aurora police last month.

Lewis’ family, friends and dozens of supporters responded indignantly to the council’s attempts to control the crowd, which included voting not to extend the time period set aside for public comment to accommodate all of the members of the group who had signed up to speak.

“You want to go home, but so did my nephew,” Lewis’ aunt, Gena Simien, yelled from the audience. “I watched him go down in the ground. I watched him be put in a coffin.”

Kilyn Lewis’ funeral service and burial were held June 13, two and a half weeks after he was fatally shot during an arrest by Aurora SWAT officer Michael Dieck. Lewis was wanted for attempted first-degree murder in connection with a drive-by shooting that wounded a man in Denver in May.

Officers confronted Lewis at a condominium complex in Aurora on May 23 and surrounded him with their rifles raised. As Lewis lifted his hands, one of which held a cellphone, he was fatally shot once in the torso by Dieck.

On Monday, while talking about Lewis

and other unarmed Black men injured and killed by police, Lewis’ family and supporters lifted their hands and cellphones into the air as an homage to the 37-year-old and his apparent gesture of surrender.

“Together, we can make sure this does not continue to happen in our community,” local activist Candice Bailey said during a rally held on the west steps of the Aurora Municipal Building prior to the meeting, where supporters prayed and talked about the importance of protesting the killings of unarmed Black men.

“We may not agree on everything, but the one thing we do agree on wholeheartedly, otherwise you wouldn’t be here today, is that this is wrong. Kilyn Lewis should be here today,” Bailey said.

Monday’s rally and demonstration inside of the Paul Tauer Council Chamber was the latest reaction to the Aurora Police Department’s release last week of segments of body-worn camera footage that showed the shooting of Lewis and included narration by interim police chief Heather Morris, who acknowledged Lewis did not have a weapon.

Morris declined to comment after the council meeting, where speaker after speaker characterized Lewis’ death as an act of unnecessary, racist violence.

“The police chief’s response was to thank her officers for their hard work, a move that deflects from the fact that another unarmed Black man was killed,” Au-

rora resident Maria McComb said. “Kilyn Lewis had a family that loved him, and they deserved to see him given a fair trial. The pattern of violence against Black men must end.”

The demonstrators also criticized council members for what they described as a lack of meaningful oversight of the city’s police department. They called for Dieck to be criminally charged and fired, though the city’s charter bars the council from unilaterally firing police officers or any city employees apart from a handful of top officials.

“We’re getting executed. We are. Yet, y’all do nothing about it,” said Kilyn Lewis’ brother, Kiawa, while addressing the council. “We’re getting tired. We are. The thing is, when we become silent, it’s something that y’all need to start worrying about. When y’all don’t hear us no more, get very concerned. Right now is our forewarning.”

After the protesters had left, Councilmember Stephanie Hancock, who is Black and was singled out for criticism throughout the night, said the council is limited in its ability to directly take action against the officers involved in the shooting.

She also pushed back on the conduct of protesters, saying she supported the public’s right to address the council but that there was “an appropriate way and a respectful way to do that.”

“To take over this chamber, to disre-

spect this body, to disrespect the process, I find it very disturbing that we’d do that,” she said. “We diminish ourselves, and we fall into anarchy, and then we have activists and others who, really, their mission is to dismantle, disrupt and destroy.”

After entering the council chamber, demonstrators sat with their hands raised until City Clerk Kadee Rodriguez called on those who had signed up to speak.

Mayor Mike Coffman opened the public comment portion of the meeting by asking attendees to be respectful and mentioning how the council’s rules limit open public comment to one hour by default, a time limit that he said the council would not vote to extend.

When Councilmember Alison Coombs asked whether the decision not to extend the time had been “predetermined,” Coffman said he would not support allowing open public comment to continue for more than an hour.

As speakers took turns at the lectern, they were cheered by the crowd and led the group in chants of “no justice, no peace” and “say his name: Kilyn Lewis.”

Speakers jeered the mayor’s attempts to enforce the three-minutes-per-person limit on public comments, and numerous people yelled at the council from the audience throughout the meeting.

Early Arapahoe County returns on Tuesday showed state Rep. Mike Weissman leading Idris Keith for state SD 28, a race awash in dark money for the Democratic nod. Michael Carter was ahead of Bryan Lindstrom, and Rhonda Fields led Hashim Coates.

Voter turnout appeared to be light for the June 25 primary election among three races in Aurora’s largest county, reaching just under 17% of eligible voters, according to county clerk records.

In Arapahoe County, which encompasses the largest part of Aurora, about 68,000 votes had been cast by Tuesday evening.

Police arrest 2 in Aurora apartment shooting of teens, say gun modified to fire like an automatic

Police investigators say they suspect a man fatally shot early June 21 at an Aurora convenience store knew his shooter.

Officers were called to the 7-Eleven store at 12085 E. Colfax Ave in northwest Aurora after reports of a shooting.

The bulk of voters returning Arapahoe County ballots so far are older and mostly registered as Democrats.

About 21,000 unaffiliated voters cast ballots in the election as of Tuesday. In Colorado, unaffiliated voters can make choices in primary elections in either party, but not both.

Aurora voters decided three local primaries this year, all Democratic. There are contests in state Senate District 28, House District 36 and the District 5 Arapahoe County Commission seat.

All three Arapahoe County Democratic races have drawn unusually large amounts of so-called dark money from independent election committees, according to multiple recent reports.

The Colorado Sun last week reported that more than $350,000 of dark money from unnamed donors poured into the Senate District 28 Democratic contest between veteran state Rep. Mike Weissman and Pinnacol Assurance attorney Idris Keith. Over the weekend the Sun reported that Colorado dialysis magnate Ken

Police say two teens arrested Thursday in connection with a shooting earlier last week at an Aurora apartment complex playground and are connected to the wounding of two other teenage boys.

A gun confiscated during one of the arrests had been modified to make it fire like an automatic weapon, police said.

Two boys, ages 12 and 14, were shot and injured Wednesday near a north Aurora apartment complex basketball court and playground Wednesday afternoon, police reported.

Police were called to 12437 E. Ford Avenue at about 4 p.m. to respond to reports of a shooting.

“They located two victims, both juveniles,” Aurora police spokesperson Sydney Edwards said in a statement. “One is an 12-year-old boy, the other a 14-year-old boy.”

Both boys were taken to nearby hospitals with what police described as “non-life-threatening” injuries.

Their current condition was not released.

On Thursday, police arrested an unidentified boy, 14, on three outstanding warrants, police said. The warrants were for previous charges for assault and criminal mischief.

Another boy, 14, was arrested and now faces charges of possession of an illegal weapon, and possession of a weapon by a juvenile, as well as obstructing police.

“The 15-year-old was in possession of an illegally modified handgun that was equipped with an auto switch that converts a semi-automatic handgun into a fully automatic handgun,” Edwards said in a statement.

Police said investigators have not yet determined if either boy fired a gun and injured the other two boys, or if the modified gun was used in the shooting.

“Detectives have identified all persons involved in this incident and no suspects are outstanding,” Edwards said. “They will be working with the District Attorney’s Office to determine appropriate charges for others who have not yet been arrested.”

Police “found one adult male suffering from gunshot wounds,” police said in a statement. “Officers attempted life-saving measures before the individual was transported to the hospital where he later died from his injuries.”

The man will be identified by county coroner officials at a later date.

Investigators did not disclose any information about the shooting suspect, but they said they believe the shooting was a “targeted incident.”

Colorado justices consider a pink and blue cake’s meaning in a transgender discrimination case

The Colorado Supreme Court is considering whether a Lakewood Christian baker can refuse to make a cake to celebrate a gender transition.

The justices last week heard about a variety of hypothetical cake-design scenarios in the case of a transgender woman who asked for a pink-and-blue cake to celebrate her gender transition.

Baker Jack Phillips refused, citing his First Amendment rights. The Colorado Supreme Court justices asked attorneys for both sides what sort of cake without any writing on it a baker could refuse to make without being discriminatory. The justices took their arguments under advisement without ruling right away.

From plain white cakes to rainbow-colored ones, the Colorado Supreme Court considered a variety of hypothetical cake-design scenarios Tuesday as it heard arguments in the case of a Christian baker who refused to make a pink cake with blue icing to celebrate a gender transition.

The case involving Denver-area baker Jack Phillips is the latest of three in Colorado pitting LGBTQ+ civil rights against First Amendment rights. In a previous case, Phillips scored a partial

victory before the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 after refusing to bake a cake for a gay couple’s wedding.

The Colorado Supreme Court took last week’s oral arguments in the transgender celebration cake case under advisement without ruling right away.

The case originated when Phillips initially agreed to make a cake for attorney Autumn Scardina but then refused after Scardina explained she was going to use it to celebrate her gender transition.

›› SHOOTING, from 5

When one meeting attendee who was not a part of the group, Robbie De Jonge, tried to address demonstrators from the lectern, she was heckled and yelled at, at which point Coffman was unable to regain control of the meeting and left the room.

Several council members — including Coombs, Danielle Jurinsky, Angela Lawson, Ruben Medina, Crystal Murillo and Dustin Zvonek — remained as former Denver Public Schools board member Auon’tai Anderson and others led the group in protest chants.

The mayor returned after several minutes and informed De Jonge that the council’s rules dictated that public commenters should address the council rather than other members of the public. She finished her comments as the group continued to mock and heckle her.

Because open public comment is limited to an hour, after the hour had elapsed, Coombs moved to allow more members of the public to speak, which fellow progressive Murillo seconded.

“They were here two weeks ago; they’ll be here in another two weeks,” Coffman said.

“They’re here right now. They took the time to come here right now,” Coombs replied.

Hancock moved to immediately end debate on Coombs’ motion, which the majority of the council supported before voting against Coombs’ original motion to allow more speakers to address the council.

The meeting once again ground to a halt as demonstrators marched down to the floor of the council chamber and resumed chanting, prompting the mayor and many council members to leave.

Some demonstrators sat on the floor in front of the dais, and the group discussed continuing the meeting on their own terms with additional speakers before they were told the council had agreed to grant them additional time.

Council members returned, and this time, the majority voted to allow the remaining handful of speakers to address the council.

The Colorado Court of Appeals sided with Scardina, ruling that the pink-and-blue cake — on which Scardina did not request any writing — was not speech protected by the First Amendment.

The Colorado Supreme Court justices asked attorneys for both sides what sort of cake without any writing on it a baker could refuse to make while the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act prohibits refusing to provide services based on protected characteristics such as race, religion or sexual orientation.

They also asked if Phillips

After close to two hours of public comment, the protesters filed out once the final speaker — Lewis’ mother, LaRonda Jones — finished her remarks, chanting as they left.

Yelling toward the council on her way out of the chamber, community activist Candice Bailey promised the group would return at the council’s next meeting.

While Coombs told her council colleagues that she planned to sponsor a resolution formally apologizing to Lewis’ family, council members avoided replying to the criticisms by demonstrators.

After the meeting, Coffman told the Sentinel that, in the same way Lewis’ family was concerned about Kilyn Lewis being deprived of due process when he was shot and killed, the public should care about Dieck being investigated without interference.

The shooting is currently under investigation by the police department’s Internal Investigations Bureau as well as the third-party 18th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team, which has the power to recommend criminal charges for Dieck if it determines charges are warranted.

“I certainly feel for the family. It’s a tragedy their son died,” the mayor said. “There was an allegation of what he did, just like there’s an allegation of what this police officer did. It’s a horrible situation that the police officer is in, having to make a split-second decision. Was it right, or was it wrong? That’s what the investigation is going to find out.”

Many of the speakers on Monday described Lewis’ death as murder, and some questioned whether the local criminal justice system is capable of investigating the incident impartially, bringing up how the police department’s Force Review Board had initially cleared the officers involved in the death of Elijah McClain.

would have agreed to make an identical cake for different purposes, such as to celebrate the birth of boy-and-girl twins.

“It’s only when they get into the home of the consumer that they take on the message. They are the same cake. It’s all a pink cake with blue icing,” Justice Melissa Hart told Phillips’ attorney, Jake Warner, in suggesting other, hypothetical scenarios involving pink-and-blue cakes.

“A corrupt department investigating itself will never find its wrongdoings,” said Nate Kassa, an Aurora resident and community organizer, demanding along with other speakers that the city release the unedited bodycam footage of the shooting.

“The time for investigations is over,” he said. “It’s long over.”

Cherokee Trail’s dominant run to a second straight team championship came with a balance of talented individuals and relay teams (which accounted for a combined four state titles and helped pile up an astounding 111 points), while two state titles apiece came from Eaglecrest and Overland. Individuals from Rangeview and Regis Jesuit also appear on the All-Aurora first team.

The Cherokee Trail 4x200 meter relay team posted a time of 1:24.93 that was not only almost two seconds faster than the runner-up, but set a Colorado and 5A state meet record, while the 4x800 meter relay team finished third in the wake of a photo finish between Mountain Vista and ThunderRidge.

Four All-Aurora first team slots went to Cherokee Trail junior star Peyton Sommers, who won the sprint triple crown (the 100, 200 and 400 meter dashes), while he also anchored the 4x200 meter relay team to gold. Sommers has accrued six individual and three relay state titles in two seasons. His 400 meter time of 46.59 seconds at the state meet led Colorado regardless of classification, as did his wind-aided (3.0 wind reading) mark of 10.47 seconds in the 100 meters at the Centennial League Championships. At state, Sommers ran 10.54 to win the 100 (over Eaglecrest’s Noah Brown) and 21.13 to take the 200 (over Chaparral’s Wilkins Persichina).

Smith popped a jump of 44 feet, 6 1/4 inches, that placed him fourth in the finals of the triple jump for coach Chris Faust’s Cougars, which was the same podium spot earned by Waters, who cleared the state pole vault bar at 14 feet, 10 inches. Eaglecrest and Overland finished fourth and fifth, respectively, in the 5A boys team standings with a pair of state championships apiece as a bonus.

Coach Chris Carhart’s Raptors (who won the Centennial League championship a week before state) flexed their strength in the relays with gold medal-winning performances in the 4x100 and 4x400 meter events. The common denominator in both winning performances was an anchor leg run by determined senior Peace Warah.

The 4x100 race saw Warah finish off an effort started by senior Jeffery Poku and juniors Eric Hill and Noah Brown (a baseball standout who made a stirling debut in his first season in track) with a time of 41.86 seconds that wasn’t the group’s

Aurora’s present and future in girls track & field was on full display over three days of the Class 5A state meet at Jefferson County Stadium.

The 2024 Aurora Sentinel All-Aurora Girls Track Team — which is based on performances from the 5A state track meet — is deep in its reach across the city as well as in grade levels.

Athletes from Cherokee Trail, Eaglecrest and Grandview combined to claim six state championships and all three programs finished in the top eight in the final team standings.

the Wolves had Aurora’s best 400 meter runner in senior Anna Wehrenberg (who placed ninth in the finals). Wehrenberg also anchored the city’s highest-finishing 800 sprint medley relay team, which was rounded out by seniors Mikaya Singleton and Emerson Deferme plus junior Leaiva Holliman. The Wolves (All-Aurora first teamers last season as well with Deferme, Singleton and Wehrenberg) ran a time of 1:47.17 to finish fifth in the event to lead locals, taking over the event after top-seeded Cherokee Trail failed to make the finals.

Golden girls

The area’s biggest individual star — Grandview senior Gabriella Cunningham — ended her career in style with two individual gold medals and secured three All-Aurora first team slots in all. The Louisiana State-bound Cunningham defended last season’s state titles in both the 100 and 300 meter hurdles, while she was also the city’s highest finisher in the 100 meter dash as she grabbed fourth place.

Rounding out Grandview’s All-Aurora contingent in is junior Andrea Davis in the high jump and senior Julia Pace in the 800 meters. Davis cleared 5 feet, 3 inches, at the state competition, which put her in in sixth place, while Pace did not qualify for state in the 800, but ran the area’s best time of 2:23.24 at the Stutler Twilight meet.

Cunningham won every prelim or final race in the 100 meter hurdles save for a seventh-place at the loaded Arcadia Invitation in April and her state-leading time of 13.61 came in the prelims of the Centennial League Championship meet, while her 41.96 in the 300 meter hurdles at the Cherry Creek Invitational led the state. Cunningham only ran the 200 three times in the entire season, as she qualified with a runner-up finish at the Stutler Twilight meet at the end of April, then advanced through state prelims to run a season-best 12.01 in the championship final.

Cunningham’s dynamic performance helped coach Charles Moss’ team to fifth place, while

While Cunningham’s career ended in a fantastic flurry, another got started in a major way for Eaglecrest freshman Zenobia Witt. Witt earned three All-Aurora first team nods herself, beginning with her state championship in the long jump on the meet’s opening day. She knocked off Cherokee Trail junior Kaeli Powe for top honors in the event (with an effort of 19 feet, 9 1/2 inches, that led 5A for the entire season), but also anchored two championship-winning relay teams for coach Chris Carhart’s Raptors.

Senior Anaya Ewing, junior Jaylynn Wilson and sophomore Tatum Gratrix combined with Witt to first win the 4x200 relay — which Eaglecrest has now won for three straight seasons — in a time of 1 minute, 40.42 seconds, that ended as the state’s best regardless of classification. Wilson has been a part of all three of those teams, though she shifted off the anchor leg with the arrival of Witt. The same group

The growth of boys volleyball has come in leaps and bounds in the few years since it became and official sport and the talent level on courts around Aurora has risen exponentially to match.

ALL-AURORA BOYS VOLLEYBALL

The 2024 AuroraSentinelAll-Aurora Boys Volleyball Team — picked by the Sentinelin conjunction with balloting of city coaches — is heavy on talent, as it includes two league players of the year in addition to players who contributed to a variety of runs to the postseason.

Spike stars

Cherokee Trail had the most experienced team when it came to postseason play with several members that had played on multiple state tournament teams for coach Mike Thomsen.

BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor

At the core was senior John Clinton, who earned Centennial League Player of the Year honors to cap a four-year varsity career and sends him off to play at Merrimack College. Clinton racked up the second-most kills in Colorado with 355, a career-high which gave him a whopping 1,181 in 331 varsity sets played in his career. He finished in the top three on his own team in kills, hitting percentage, service aces, blocks and digs and was picked for the Colorado High School Activities Association’s 5A All-State first team.

Only two programs (Cherokee Trail and Legend) in 5A had two players with 300 or more kills and Cherokee Trail’s duo of Clinton and fellow senior outside hitter Chase Jensen were the most prolific duo of them all with 683 kills. Jensen’s individual total of 328 put him sixth in the state, while he led the Cougars in serves received and ranked in the top three on the team in kills, hitting percentage and service aces on his way to CHSAA All-State second team status.

By far the best-ever season in Grandview’s history included a thrilling five-set win over Littleton Public Schools in the Centennial League Challenge championship match, followed by a home regional tournament that coach Scott Nugent’s

Wolves won to secure the first trip to the state tournament, where they went 2-2 to finish 22-7. The arrival of outside hitter Alex Garcia — one of two highly impactful freshmen — helped spur the growth for Grandview, which led Aurora in wins with a huge leap from 14 in 2023.

Garcia finished third in the state in total kills with 348, while he piled up 58 service aces, which is the second most among Aurora players at any position and ranked eighth in the state and contributed 179 digs to boot. He paced the Wolves in all three of those major statistical categories and made the All-Centennial League first team.

Sophomore Devan Hall took over the setting duties for the Wolves and he made use of all of his plethora of weapons (Garcia, fellow freshman Connor Deickman, juniors Ethan Carroll and Nick Safray and others) to pile up 864 assists, which were the second-most in all of 5A and gave him more than nine per set. He also contributed 37 services aces, which ranked fifth among local players.

Last season’s state runner-up, Eaglecrest, had another outstanding season that ended at the state tournament despite a significant amount of turnover. Coach Chad Bond’s Raptors lost its kills leader, Ayden Shaw, to graduation, but his younger brother stepped into the void in a big way. Junior Jackson Shaw cracked the top 10 in kills with 313, while the All-Centennial League first team pick also recorded 225 digs, which were the third-most among local players regardless of position. Shaw played his way onto CHSAA’s 5A All-State second team as well, while the organization also honored sophomore Dillan Ancheta with honorable mention status. Ancheta cracked the top 10 in 5A in assists and finished in the top three on the raptors in assists, digs and service aces as well.

Vista PEAK Prep won the City League championship with a 12-0 mark against league teams with a big boost from junior Tristan Rowley, who garnered the league’s player of the year award. Coach Jeffry Ransom’s Bison — who had a trio of All-City League first team picks in Rowley, Kaiyan Ivey and Benjamin Allred — went on plenty of runs with Rowley on serve, as he racked up 81 aces that ranked him second in the state. Additionally, Rowley racked up 289 kills to rank 13th in the state.

fastest time of the season (41.82 in the prelims), but put them in front of Brighton, Mountain Vista and Erie, which had the three fastest times in 5A during the season.

In the 4x400 meter relay, Warah put forth and epic come-from-behind effort in the final stretch that claimed gold for himself as well as seniors Cam Chapa and Evan Keppy and junior Thierry Asare. Eaglecrest’s time of 3:16.77 ended up on top of Cherokee Trail by a fraction of a second.

The relay Raptors are joined by senior Jayden Diggins, the city’s top high jump placer at the state meet with a third-place finish. Diggins earned the All-Aurora nod with a top jump of 6 feet, 5 inches, to outdistance Rangeview freshman Yasin Sekue, who had 5A’s second-best effort during the season of 6-6 1/2, but topped out at 6-3 at the state meet.

The Trailblazers had just three individual state qualifiers, who made a parade to the medal podium, with senior Wondame Davis Jr. and junior Jarrius Ward winning titles. Ward set the meet abuzz on the opening day when he set a 5A state meet record in the discus with a throw of 203 feet, 4 inches, which blew away the previous mark that had been in place since 1992. The multi-sport standout also earned the All-Aurora spot in the shot put with his runner-up finish with a throw of 55-10 3/4. Davis Jr. (who began his prep career at Hinkley) arrived from Texas in the middle of the school year and he finished his short stay with a state championship in an Overland uniform. Davis Jr. secured the All-Aurora slot in the long jump with his title, which was earned with a jump of 22 feet, 11 1/4 inches, and required him to sweat out the efforts of some late jumpers.

Regis Jesuit’s All-Aurora representation is heavy on the distance events, as senior David Flaig and junior Braeden Focht com-

then collected the 4x100 crown on the final day (running a 47.88 that was the best of the season in 5A) to join the boys team in giving Eaglecrest a sweep of the championships in the event.

The last All-Aurora girls spot for the Eaglecrest program (which secured fourth in the team standings) went to senior McKenna George, a second-year thrower (and softball standout) who finished as the 5A runner-up in the shot put. George’s top throw of 37 feet, 11 1/2 inches, put her a half-inch in front of teammate Katilyn Hendrian for top city honors.

Cherokee Trail finished eighth with a big performance from Powe, a four-event placer who finally captured the state championship she had been in line for in the past two seasons. Powe came into state as the top seed in the triple jump and kept her competition (namely Witt) at bay with a top leap of 40 feet, 6 1/4 inches, which was shy of her Colorado-best effort of 41-1 achieved in April. Powe’s second All-Aurora first team position came in the 200 meter dash in which she was ninth as the only local to make the finals. She ran

bined to put coach Quinn Pack’s Raiders on top in the three longest individual races. Flaig claimed All-Aurora honors in the 800 meters (in which he got on the medal podium in seventh place) and 1,600, while Focht earned the accolade in the 3,200, but missed the podium as he came in 13th. Junior Charlie

Dutmer claimed an All-Aurora spot as well with his performance in the 300 meter hurdles in which he was sixth as the area’s only championship heat qualifier.

For the second year in a row, Rangeview’s Jaheim Alexander was Aurora’s highest finisher in the 110 meter hurdles as he repeated as the event runner-up. It was much closer in his senior year, as Alexander — who raised his arms in what he thought was triumph as he crossed the finish line — was deemed to have come in second behind Fountain-Fort Carson’s Kyler Lewis by an agonizing 0.03 of a second.

25.54 in the finals, while her best 200 time of the season of 25.o7 came May 4 at the Cherry Creek Invitational.

Joining Powe on the All-Aurora team for coach Chris Faust’s Cougars is junior Raziah Hyslop, who topped locals in the

discus with a seventh-place result, along with the 4x800 meter relay team of junior Dawn Armstrong, sophomore Joselyn Price and freshmen Clara Kapfer and Jade McDaniel (which did not make it to state, but had the area’s best effort in the event

of 10:05.01 at the Stutler Twilight meet). It has been more than two seasons since a Aurora has had a state qualifier in the girls 4x800 relay.

Smoky Hill athletes had particular individual success in the hurdles events — though none

could overtake Cunningham individually — but coach Augustine Agyei’s Buffaloes finished strong with the city’s best performance in the 4x400 meter relay. Senior Danica Azumah, juniors Aniya Sigars and Darian Smith and sophomore Kiyah Enoch turned in a sixth-place result in a time of 3:59.51, which was roughly five seconds faster than their best time coming into the meet, when they were seeded 12th.

Regis Jesuit also had the All-Aurora representative in the pole vault in junior Abigail Frei, who set the school record of 10 feet, 3 inches, at the Rumble On The Divide, but did not make opening height at the state meet. She is joined by senior teammates Erika Danzer and Ashlyn Pallotta, who were the All-Aurora performers in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters, respectively. Neither of the distance runners qualified for the state meet, but Danzer earned her spot with a 5:26.18 showing at the Don Osse Invitational. Pallotta, meanwhile, clocked a time of 11:41.38 in the 3,200 meter final at the Liberty Bell Invitational that was easily the fastest by a local during the campaign.

AURORA COUNCIL ENDORSES SPECIALTY COURT, ACCELERATED SWEEPS FOR HOMELESS CAMPERS

Aurora’s City Council is moving forward with a speciality court program for homeless defendants as well as a companion ordinance that will allow the city to accelerate clearing camps, both policies that support Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman’s “work-first” plan to address homelessness.

Unlike the current policy for sweeping encampments in which city workers have to give a 72-hour warning prior to an abatement, the new policy will prohibit camping in certain areas, allowing abatements without the standard 72-hour warning.

Areas can be “closed” if the city has conducted a sweep within the past six months. Closures could occur for other reasons, including dangerous conditions, criminal activity, evidence of rodent infestation and “physically undermin(ing) or erod(ing) public infrastructure.”

In addition, the Housing Employment Assistance Recovery Team, or HEART Program, will divert defendants charged with low-level misdemeanors, including trespassing, to a voluntary specialty court. Proponents of the program say defendants can choose a diversion program, allowing the court to connect defendants with city resources, such as addiction and mental health treatment, job training or temporary housing.

Aurora’s City Council adopted both policies after weeks of discussion.

If defendants choose not to participate in the HEART program they would go through the current legal process to address their charge, which could include fines or jail time, according to what is now city code.

“Ultimately, we want people to accept services and help within our city, to become well, to experience healing and recovery, and ultimately to get back into society, and contribute,” Councilmember Steve Sundberg, who co-sponsored both policy proposals, said June 10.

The mayor’s work-first strategy was introduced in 2022 alongside Aurora’s camping ban and the city’s decision to invest in a central social services campus with the goal of helping people experiencing homelessness find employment and then housing.

Along the Interstate 225 corridor especially, the city has continued to see homeless encampments, which residents say they want addressed, said Curtis Gardner, who also co-sponsored both policies. He said the HEART Program would address residents’ concerns while acknowledging the unique challenges that people experiencing homelessness face.

“It really focuses on meeting those individuals experiencing homelessness where they’re

at,” Gardner said. address the criminal nects them with services.”

remote areas away from their social networks.”

In a 2020 article published in Social Problems, Yarbrough and amicus brief co-signatory Chris Herring reviewed surveys, interview and municipal data, which consistently indicated that move-along orders and similar laws shuffle people between neighborhoods and police jurisdictions rather than getting them into permanent housing.

In her work with the homeless community, Mile High Behavioral Healthcare’s director of business and public relations, Anna Miller, has seen the negative impacts sweeps have on people experiencing homelessness.

“They have to just have somewhere to go, and with limited resources, I think we will see increased violence, theft (and) substance misuse,” Miller said. “Unfortunately, it will happen. People will get more and more scared and frustrated when they don’t have resources or places to go … They’re human beings. There has to be somewhere for people to go.”

Ivory O’Roy has been sleeping on the streets of Aurora for the last nine months. Limited in his mobility, he uses a walker that doubles as a chair to get between bus stops and intersections. At night, his walker is also where he sleeps.

“It started getting warm at night, so this (blanket) keeps me comfortable,” O’Roy said.

Though the police have approached him several times, asking him to move or face criminal charges, he said he’s managed to maintain a clean record.

“You have a good officer, and you’ve got a bad officer. One good officer will work with you; the other one will stand there and threaten you,” O’Roy said.

Participants in the HEART Program will have priority access to the housing that the city offers, giving them a place to go, Gardner said. He said that, because it is a court diversion program, they must be charged with a non-violent misdemeanor, like trespassing, to participate.

If O’Roy maintains his clean record, he wouldn’t have access to the HEART Program and its benefits, though that does not mean the program won’t impact him — limited resources such as shelter beds are already in high demand.

Comitis Crisis Center guest Frenchan Brooks has observed his peers waiting long periods of time to access shelter space during his three stays at the center. When people have to move out prior to finding permanent housing, he has observed them spend all of their savings on motel space waiting for the next available bed, only to start the cycle over again.

“I think the help (the city is) giving them

is not the help they need,” Brooks said. “We’re giving them a place to lay down and go to sleep. But the people in (Comitis) have that and a job with no place to stay permanently.”

In the four years since he lost his sight, Frenchan Brooks has spent four months sleeping on the streets of Aurora. Though he’s had the jarring experience of being woken up by police and told to move, he avoids staying outside of established shelters at night and is trying to find permanent housing.

Prior to losing his sight, Brooks worked in construction and was a chef. Now, he receives disability benefits but still can’t afford rent. His sight comes and goes, and even if he were to get a job, maintaining the position would be difficult because he can’t guarantee that his sight will be at its best everyday.

“It’s not like I didn’t work, or I haven’t worked. It’s just I had a medical problem,” Brooks said.

It remains to be seen how disabled Aurorans like Brooks fit into what the city has presented as its comprehensive work-first strategy for addressing unsheltered homelessness, though Coffman has said no one who wants services or shelter will be denied a place at the navigation campus. A 2023 report released by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless found that 65% of adults experiencing homelessness reported having at least one disabling condition.

The HEART Program has been influenced by similar programs in Fort Collins and Lakewood, as well as a program in Redondo Beach, Calif., Gardner said. He says the program is meant to be individualized with advisers who will assist participants in navigating their options.

Once implemented, the city will be looking at the number of participants in comparison with graduates from the program as one of the metrics for success, Gardner said. He said they also will look at the number of encampments along the I-225 corridor.

The sweeps will focus on areas that the police typically abate on a weekly basis. Additional funds have not been allocated for sweeps. At the council’s June 10 regular meeting, Coombs addressed concerns regarding the distribution of resources and limited funds for area closures and abatements.

Residents have reached out to Coombs expressing concerns about encampments near their homes and businesses in areas that don’t receive weekly attention.

“I hear from folks that they don’t get the attention, that they don’t get the response, even when there are major safety issues,” Coombs told the Sentinel in reference to the current

regimen of sweeps. “I think there’s inequitable enforcement across our city that is targeted at making this policy look more effective than it is.”

Aurora Police Department data shows that, in January of this year, 55% of police hours working abatements were spent near the intersection of I-225 and Parker Road as opposed to any other abatement location.

The sweeps ordinance could divert people to the HEART Program court after they’ve been charged with trespassing under the ordinance, an approach that Coffman has termed “tough love.”

“I think the ‘tough love’ approach is driven by the myth that unhoused people don’t want housing or care and must be forced into services,” Yarbrough wrote.

“But when we look more carefully, we see that there are long waiting lists for housing, shelter, and residential treatment across the U.S. Most people who are living unsheltered are in public space because they have nowhere else to go. Unhoused people need housing first.”

VITAL SIGN

AURORA FOX THEATER BRINGING BACK THE PAST FOR THE FUTURE

ATWOOD,

Upgraded back to its nostalgic state, the Aurora Fox Arts Center’s signature 61-foot sign will be lighting up the night once more with its original 1946 colors.

For long-time patrons of the theater, such as retired Aurora firefighter Mike Ackman, preserving this part of Aurora’s history couldn’t have come sooner.

“I can still picture it in my mind, exactly what it looked like,” said Ackman, whose father attended John Wayne movies in the 1940s at the theater and where he watched shows in the 1960s. “I always remember the marquee that was over the doors, the ticket taker and the snack bar. People going into the movie theater and opening the door on the side and letting their friends sneak into the theater.”

Ackman has seen the theater bustling with moviegoers at its highest peak and at its lowest valley in 1981, when the theater caught fire.

As a firefighter, he was sent as part of the relief crew the morning after to ensure there was no chance of the fire reigniting.

‘It’s a facility that’s been around for so long, but there’s always an opportunity to continue to sort of reinvent it in some ways’

“To go in as a firefighter when the whole thing was gutted was overwhelming to me,” Ackman said. “It was just sad. It was like a loss because there was no real guarantee that they were going to rebuild it. That’s what I kept remembering: that, ‘Oh, my God, they’re gonna tear my Fox Theatre down.’ You know, it’s the only place I really knew.”

But that didn’t happen. The post-war Fox Theatre transitioned into a performing arts center in 1985 after community members petitioned for the city to purchase the building. To this day, the Arts Center thrives as two theaters; so does its sign.

After being approved in early 2020 for a State Historical Fund grant and receiving donations from the Aurora Museum Foundation, Visit Aurora and the city’s municipal funds, the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of their initial sign company delayed the theater sign’s renovation. Now, more than $143,000 later, the sign is complete.

For the Sentinel Story Sprint Project

While the project was initially estimated to cost $120,000, unexpected road bumps were revealed as the paint was chipped away.

Chris Geddes, the City of Aurora’s Historic Preservation Specialist, has worked closely with the theater and sign restoration project, digging through local news articles for early colored pictures of the sign for references and got into a crane bucket to scrape off paint samples.

“I’m afraid of heights, so it’s pretty amazing that I actually got to go up there,” Geddes said.

Initially, the theater had plans to restore the color to match what they thought to be their oldest color photo of the theater from 1962, which depicted a forest green sign accented yellow.

That was until the sign company DaVinci Sign Systems Inc. had taken off a panel from the top and side during their sign survey and

found a faded bit of yellow paint that bled through.

This led Geddes and the sign designer to do more digging to find out what the original colors were, looking at the other old Fox Theatres through Colorado and the country. Starting the search for the real original colors in December of last year, it wasn’t until this May that Geddes and the team went into a crane lift and hand scraped the paint, which revealed more yellow and a light green accent.

“The Fox Inter-Mountain Amusement Corporation had hundreds of theaters across the country, and we started seeing a pattern where they did red and yellow in a lot of theaters,” Geddes said. “I texted the designer and said, OK, we’re gonna need to tweak the drawing a little bit because we found yellow in another place.’ And he says, ‘Oh my

gosh, that’s amazing.’ Then we were scraping, and we found the green on the front.”

To add to the struggle, the team discovered an obscene amount of bird droppings caked on the sign. After years of buildup, the sign had turned into a “biohazard,” according to Geddes. To continue the restoration, the theater had to hire a biohazard team to clean the mess.

A sign of community, not just a theater

Why put so much effort and money toward revitalizing an old sign? It seems Aurora can’t help but value the Fox as a center for art and community, the theater’s Executive Director, Rich Cowden, said. Just as the community came together to save the theater in the past, several organizations in Aurora contributed to the sign restoration.

Ginger White Brunetti, the director for the Aurora Library and Culture services says the project wouldn’t have happened without support from the community.

“It’s a facility that’s been around for so long, but there’s always an opportunity to continue to sort of reinvent in some ways,” White Brunetti said. “When it comes to the Aurora Cultural Arts District, this has been an important anchor of the district and perhaps one of the best known in part because of its visibility and its history.

In other words, the renovation is representative of Aurora itself

as it evolves and changes while still making efforts to preserve and honor its history.

The theater has dipped into synergetic programming with its recent production of the Percy Jackson musical in collaboration with the Aurora Public Library to encourage kids to read the book that inspired it. The same goes for the theater’s next production, which is an adaptation of Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days slated for the fall.

The theater is also reaching out to other Scientific and Cultural Facilities District organizations to try and attract a more diverse audience and support the SCFD groups such as Roshni and the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra.

“My vision for this place is always that this is a primary community space, where everyone is welcome, where we try to keep things affordable,” Cowden said.

“We try to keep the quality very high, and part of that is partnering with other community organizations. I think it’s one of the things that we’re going to focus on as we keep going. … Some of those dramatic pieces that also have strong literary backgrounds, whether that’s for young adults, small kids, older or mature folks to be able to offer those.”

To Ackman, the theater is a cornerstone of historic Aurora, and it seems many would agree because after the fire community members successfully petitioned the city to buy the theater and convert it to a public space.

Today, Ackman is on the Aurora Historic Preservation Commission and helps in preserving and restoring historic buildings such as the Fox throughout the city.

“My old shopping centers where I used to shop, where I used to get my hair cut — that’s all gone, and it’s all six-story apartment buildings,” Ackman said. “It’s tough to tell people, (the commission wants) to landmark your gas station because of its historic styling when somebody offers $2 million for the property.”

Bubble Planet: An Immersive Experience

Fazal Sheikh: Thirst | Exposure | In Place

Fazal Sheikh: Thirst | Exposure | In Place is an exhibition created from three projects photographer Fazal Sheikh made on the Colorado Plateau from 2017 to early 2023. Sheikh’s portraits and landscapes shed light on the far-reaching consequences of extractive industry and climate change.

The exhibition presents Sheikh’s recent work in three interrelated sections: Thirst is a new series of aerial photographs that document the decline of the Great Salt Lake in northeast Utah, which is shrinking due to overconsumption and dwindling rain and snowfall. Exposure examines the impacts of uranium, coal, oil and natural-gas extraction on the American Southwest and on its Indigenous inhabitants. In Place evokes the enduring landscapes of the Bears Ears region in Utah, bringing Sheikh’s photographs together with contributions from scientists and Indigenous communities in and around Bears Ears in southeastern Utah.

Visitors will reflect upon the transformation—and often devastation—of these landscapes in the context of the past, present and future, while considering the juxtaposition of beauty and catastrophe, as well as intimate, human-scale stories and those spanning vast geological eras and changes.
