Wave a rainbow victory flag after pride and prejudice drama on city council fizzles
It’s hot, smoky and humid, a perfect mix for making me
Colorado cranky.
And I’m irritable enough to call BS on two Aurora lawmakers laying a stinking pile of big-OH-tree on the council dais this week.
The two-doo drop was against this city’s LGBTQ+ residents who call Aurora home, or who trek here to shop, eat or just sit in traffic like the rest of us.
It’s nearly Aurora Pride day, folks. Proudly wave your rainbow flag or head out to the Aurora Reservoir Aug. 3 for what has become the coolest, most fun and most family friendly Pride-fest in the region.
And thanks to some serious sensibility from nine other city lawmakers, there ain’t nothing council members Danielle Jurinsky and Stephanie Hancock can do about it.
Although, they tried. Hard.
For the past few years, the City of Aurora, the Sentinel, Visit Aurora, local health departments, Xcel Energy, University Health, Kaiser Permanente, the Community College of Aurora and — well, you get the idea — nearly everyone has stepped up to sponsor and celebrate Aurora Pride.
It started at city hall, but a handful of city officials, supporters and promoters came up with a cool idea to set Aurora’s event apart from others, and help make it the outdoor, outstanding family-fun-and-friendly event that it is.
There’s no parade or march. It’s a day at the beach, literally.
Food, music, entertainment, markets and camaraderie among the region’s LGBTQ+ residents, friends, family and those who just like festivals.
More than anything, it’s a moment in time to underscore that queer, gay, lesbian and trans people should have pride in who they are and what they can accomplish.
This is the antidote to cake bakers and website designers who hide behind religion, fake science or nostalgic bigotry to illegally and unethically discriminate against people.
In what most everyone around here remembers as unanimous agreement on the city council, Aurora stepped up fast to join the queer community in creating Aurora Pride in 2017.
For the last few years, Aurora has ponied up cash and access to the reservoir.
Last fall, as the city was preparing its 2024 budget, Pride sponsorship, around $15,000 in cash and trade, oddly got left off the list.
Councilmember Alison Coombs, who’s openly queer and a leader in that local community, started pressing to get the mistake corrected.
But for the past few weeks, Hancock and Jurinsky used a city council procedural scheme to keep the question of funding Pride, already at a discount from previous years, from reaching the city dais and a vote.
The farce ended Monday after Coombs pleaded with fellow lawmakers to give this venerable cause its due consideration. Councilmember Francoise Bergan said she’d found a pri-
vate funder to donate half of what was requested already.
The rest of the city council pretty much told Hancock and Jurinsky to pound sand.
I suggest they try it on the beach at Pride in a couple of weeks.
The lame excuse both lawmakers gave for wanting to not fund the festival was that it was just too-bad-so-sad that Pride got left off the budget block last fall. Better luck next time, because the city can’t spend new money once the budget is closed.
What a load of crap that is. I’ve watched this city council for decades reopen and amend the city budget, many — if not dozens — times a year. The mechanism and procedure for out-of-cycle budget requests is tried and true, and it just got implemented on a 9-2 vote Monday.
The other reason Hancock and Jurinsky balked at funding Pride was that they think it’s horrifically heinous that the reservoir is reserved one day for the thousands of people who turn out for the event each year.
“I believe everybody already knew it wasn’t going to be something we could fund,” Hancock said Monday, in error. “It’s unfair to have one group rent out the entire park, and we never should have done it in the first place.”
Professing to care so deeply about the folks who feel shut out of the reservoir, and the requirement to pay $10 to get in, these two lawmakers overlook that there is nothing keeping anyone out of the reservoir during Pride. It’s called “inclusion.” In fact it’s one of the few days you can get into the reservoir, and Pride, for free — with advance online reservation of a ticket. Really.
Want to ride your bike on the path as everyone around the local talent stage has all the fun? Go for it. Fish from shore? OK.
It’s hardly unusual for this city or any other to close or limit access to parks, trails or other venues for special and large events. Yeah, like streets, too.
Every year, the city closes public access to its massive soccer-baseball field venue for national contests.
Unfair to the kids who wanted a pick-up game that day? Please.
The city itself holds giant events on the Great Lawn at city hall. Everything from fireworks fiestas to Global Fest.
Should Hancock get out there and shake her fist at the food trucks, grumbling, “Get off my lawn”?
Get a grip. Get a life. Get a cause that isn’t homophobia so thinly veiled that nobody but these two council members and Lakewood’s tiresome baker of straight cakes and Parker’s pernicious web coder can feel good about.
Everyone else? Head on out for some beers, some beach and some laughs and a dose of pride.

Chief complaint: Aurora police needs independent oversight
In what has become a dangerously bad habit, Aurora is searching for another chief of police.
It’s dangerous because the city’s large and deeply troubled police department has been devastated by sustained crime, rogue and self-serving union leaders, a worrisome number of malevolent or incompetent officers and a perilous lack of transparency and accountability.
The killing, maiming and abuse of Black people, the drunken passed-out cops in squad cars, rehired racists and pistol-whipping episodes eventually drew a state investigation. That resulted in a consent decree among Aurora, its police department and the Colorado attorney general’s office. The decree mandates that a third-party expert monitor Aurora’s well-documented problems that reach back more than a decade. “Third-party” however is not independent of the complex problem, despite being tabbed “independent monitor.”
It is a paid contractor from out of state that provides expertise and feedback on police reform efforts.
The department needs real independent oversight.
For years, the Aurora Police Department has been a cloaked, insular, virtually autonomous agency that’s been primarily marshaled by an overpowering police union, and what was then a complicit civil service commission.
The police department has been pulled and pushed in every direction by a host of both well-intended and self-serving agendas.
Each time a new chief was hired, the public’s interests seem to have come last.
The department’s reputation, nationally, has now become so bad that a paid search just over a year ago turned up no one even remotely qualified for the job.
Current interim Chief Heather Morris has shown a great deal of consistency, skill and good faith toward showing the public that police can, and should, be trusted by the thousands of Black residents in Aurora. That, despite another episode of a Black man being needlessly shot and killed during an arrest.
Now Morris, too, is leaving for “personal reasons,” after being bad mouthed by some city lawmakers.
Rather than continue to diminish the department by continuing to pander to city council bullying, city administrators should make the next hire a public process.
The city should survey and take comments from the public about what they now want from police officers and from a police chief. Aurora desperately needs to provide full transparency to the public about the challenges it has in providing police protection and public safety.
The public can see for themselves that local roads, and especially highways, have become lawless free-for-alls, plagued with road racing, and near demolition derby disorder because of the astounding lack of patrol officers and enforcement.
The clear lack of visibility of police is an invitation for all kinds of criminal activity.
Equally, police rank and file need to be heard, outside of the political realm of unions.
The city must create a truly independent oversight entity among Aurora police to move ahead.
There can be no substitute for an entity whose sole charge is to represent the public’s interest in law enforcement and public safety — not the politicized engagement of city council, nor the logically self-serving actions of a police union, nor the engaged entity of city management.
A truly independent oversight board, even if it is only advisory, would install public faith, trust and a reliable foundation for solving problems.
Such a board or commission would be of great value if not in helping to hire a chief, but to ensure that a new chief is able to succeed.
This will be the seventh chief hired in five years. Clearly, Aurora is doing something wrong.
Trying something different is the only way to lead the city into doing this right.
It turns out democracy really is on the ballot with Project 2025
Last week, Professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat , author of “Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present,” commented that “one of the most alarming things” about “Project 2025” is the blatant admission that Donald Trump did not accomplish everything he intended to in his first administration.
“They got a slow start […] so their codeword is ‘day one,’” Ben-Ghiat told MSNBC’s Katie Phang of the think-tank’s proposal document, which is assumed to represent a considerable percentage of a Trump’s policies should he be successful in earning a second term. “Already, politically vetted people are in place and will immediately implement the plans if Trump wins.”
Earlier this year, I wrote a column mentioning Project 2025 and the alarming agenda it intends to enact. Fortunately, it appears more Americans have become aware of this treatise, an almost 900-page document vowing to rework every department, agency, and office within the executive branch if Trump returns to the White House.
Project 2025 has four agendas to advance conservative influence throughout the government, starting with a long roadmap. Alongside the document, the organization is developing a database of possible staff for an incoming Trump administration and, as part of a “Presidential Administration Academy,” is teaching new hires about how the government should function.
The penultimate step consists of a presidential transition playbook that seeks to help the next president hit the ground running in his effort to gain total control over the executive branch.
The intended actions of the organization includes redefining the way society functions, dismantling the social safety net, cutting wages for working people, undermining our economy, and reversing decades of civil rights progress.
Predictably, Donald Trump claimed to “know nothing” about Project 2025 or who authored it. Anyone that believes Trump is as gullible as they come.
Not surprisingly, many conservative organizations are behind the effort. Part of the plan includes terminating federal employees that conservatives believe are prohibiting right-wing policies from being implemented and replacing them with their own choices, as several news outlets have reported . The handbook describes “a top-to-bottom overhaul” of the Department of Justice and puts an end to the FBI’s efforts to curb the spread of misinformation. The handbook also said “the FBI have absolutely no business policing speech.”
Reproductive rights are also targeted. The plan
wants the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to cease promoting abortion as health care and urges the Federal Drug Administration to stop promoting and approving requests for creating abortion pills, referring to them as “the single greatest threat to unborn children in a post-Roe world.”
Not surprisingly, anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-diversity policies are also mentioned throughout the education recommendations sections in Project 2025 and in Trump’s platform. The project proposes ridding education programs of any “gender ideology and critical race theory,” such as a “non-binary” category in data collection or the ability of trans youth to participate in sports aligned with their gender. It also calls for parental approval for the use of names or pronouns other than those on their children’s birth certificates. And it wants to abolish protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The mandate targets anything the project considers to be “critical race theory.” Notably, these include “mandatory affinity groups,” training programs for teachers that require them to “confess their privilege,” and assignments in which “students must defend the false idea that America is systemically racist.”
Many other critics besides Ben-Ghiat have labeled Project 2025 as “authoritarian.” In fact, Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation stated the project’s mandate “would be implemented smoothly without bloodshed, if liberals and progressives do not challenge it.” Really?! Talk about arrogance unbridled arrogance!,
To paraphrase renowned legal attorney Sherrilynn Ifill, former head of the NAACP legal defense fund and more recently, the Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Esq. Endowed Chair in Civil Rights at Howard University. “If Mr. Roberts and his band of right wing acolytes believe that most American women , people of color, LGBTQIA+ and other historically marginalized groups are going to passively stand by and allow their hard earned rights to be revoked by a band of a right wingers with a fascist agenda, they have another thing coming!”
The language in Project 2025 presents an unmistakably ominous, threatening, declarative and dangerous agenda. It is an alarming ultimatum that must be taken very, very seriously. Democracy is on the ballot!

Aurora’s embrace of Phillip Morris brings significant costs
At an event that hearkened back to Big Tobacco’s 1950s heyday, Gov. Jared Polis, Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman, and other city and state officials and tobacco industry leaders toasted the announcement that Phillip Morris will be building a giant factory in Aurora to produce their new, highly addictive Zyn nicotine pouches. It has been reported that the city will provide more than $7 million in taxpayer-funded incentives to Phillip Morris for this project, which they say will bring thousands of jobs and tax revenue.
Seven million dollars in tax incentives to roll out the red carpet for Phillip Morris? The move defies comprehension for anyone who remembers this company’s long history of targeting the Black community, women, young adults, the misleading statements, and the carnage they are currently inflicting on the American people.
Phillip Morris executives lied to the American people, saying, literally, that “Nicotine is not addictive” before Congress. After decades of relentless marketing focused on minority populations and younger demographics, their products kill 500,000 Americans each year and are responsible for millions of deaths globally. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco and its forms are the leading cause of death, illness, and impoverishment.
One R.J. Reynolds executive infamously said, “We don’t smoke the $#!t, we just sell it. We reserve the right to smoke for the young, the poor, the black, and the stupid.” They may not say this on the record anymore, but their disregard for the dignity of human life continues.
Oh, but the tax revenue and jobs? These jobs will be tasked with preparing addictive products that will harm the fel-
low Aurorans whom they will target, and the case for the city of Aurora’s tax revenues is abysmal.
According to statistics from the WHO, the United States loses $1.4 trillion in social costs compared to only roughly$19 billion in tax revenue, indicating that for every $1 in tobacco tax revenue, we could be spending more than $70 in social costs like death, addiction treatment, cancer, increased insurance costs, and the myriad other harms associated with nicotine products.
The industry says their new nicotine pouches, which deliver tobacco-free nicotine with child-friendly flavors, are “harm reduction.” We shouldn’t believe them.
Experts from the New York University School of Global Public Health warn, “negative health effects of… nicotine pouches include gastrointestinal symptoms, like nausea, gum soreness, and ulcers, and also some cardiovascular risks
like elevated heart rate…We don’t know the full safety profile yet.” And, it would be wise to recall from the 80’s the number of mouth, gum, and throat cancer cases caused by chewing tobacco products like Skoal and Copenhagen, both produced by Phillip Morris.
One study last year indicated the additives the industry is putting in these nicotine pouches could be even more harmful. Additives? Where have we heard that before? Perhaps with Phillip Morris’ flagship product, the cigarette, where the additives are responsible for so many of the tobacco-related deaths.
Phillip Morris told the New York Post that this facility will help them meet the national demand for these products. This facility is about much more than Aurora; it’s about allowing the tobacco industry to saturate the market with its new addictive products. It is, therefore, not in the best interests of Aurora or America for
city officials to pave the roads in gold for Phillip Morris to unleash their new massharm product.
The City of Aurora recently made a positive step forward by announcing an innovative new project to help treat and deal with addiction and homelessness. They clearly take addiction seriously. That makes this announcement confusing since this project will significantly counteract these gains by creating more addiction and health care issues. Some in recovery report that nicotine pouch-type products started them on their journey toward addiction to cigarettes and other mind-altering substances.
Polis, when asked about the growing pushback to this Phillip Morris project, said because these products are “legal,” they provide “good jobs.” Why does Denver get investment from technology companies, AI, healthcare, and beyond, and Aurora is given the vice industries? Aurorans have always, and even more so now, deserved better.
I grew up in Aurora, attending Overland High School. I worked with former city council members Molly Markert and Ryan Frazier to keep adult store operators from targeting our schools. It seems every shady, community-harming, anti-family product and concept is pushed on this city.
Our citizens deserve truly good jobs that solve America’s problems and help families prosper, not addict them and shorten their life expectancy. The city of Aurora should reverse course and reject Big Tobacco’s lies with this project, which could have a fateful impact on the rest of the country.

State appeals court hears case of ‘penniless’ activist
The Colorado Court of Appeals heard oral arguments Wednesday about whether a Denver activist has legal standing to sue a state agency that wanted to charge him $600 for public records — an amount he refused to pay.
In court filings, Frank Sturgell stated he was “homeless and penniless” in 2020 when he made a Colorado Open Records Act request for copies of ketamine waivers from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and couldn’t afford the department’s estimated fee to pull 50 two-page records. He considered the fee “not reasonable” and a denial of the records, “a blocking attempt regularly used by government agencies to avoid disclosure of public documents.”
But Denver District Court Judge Kandace Gerdes dismissed his CORA lawsuit last June without holding a hearing, ruling that Sturgell did not have standing to bring his claims because he hadn’t “alleged personal injury.”
Sturgell’s attorney, Anita Springsteen, contended Wednesday the law required Gerdes to hold a hearing.
“That’s what the district court skated right past in this case,” she told a panel of three appellate judges. “We were never given the opportunity to make any argument about the reasonableness of the fee or the sort of process that Mr. Sturgell had gone through or the many, many requests he had made or the fact that he was entitled under the statute
to an hour’s worth of time” at no charge.
According to court filings, Sturgell started asking for ketamine waivers issued by CDPHE’s Emergency Medical Practice Advisory Council because of the 2019 death of Elijah McClain in Aurora police custody following an injection of the anesthetic by paramedics. (McClain’s death eventually led to a 2021 state law that limits first responders’ use of ketamine to sedate people.)
“At a minimum,” a brief filed by Springsteen says, “Mr. Sturgell and his team needed to see 49 documents, which were simply the two-page ketamine waivers presented by CDPHE and approved by EMPAC that allowed paramedics to bypass federal laws that normally limited use of a Schedule III Controlled Substance like ketamine to use by medical doctors.”
The health department “should have been able to provide the ketamine waivers with the click of a button,” within the free first hour of research and retrieval required by CORA, the brief alleges. Instead, the agency told Sturgell that producing the records would take 20 hours, billed at $30 an hour, but “gave no explanation of why it would take 20 hours of time to provide a 2-page document that was used by fire agencies across the state on a daily basis.”
Assistant Attorney General Haar Katta, representing CDPHE, defended the judge’s dismissal of Sturgell’s lawsuit.
“There was no denial,” he told the Court of Appeals judges during oral arguments. “After the initial request, the department responded by noting the $600 fee that is permissible under CORA. And then, rather than paying the fee, Sturgell abandoned the request. He walked away from it.”
Because the department never denied his request to inspect the records, “Sturgell did not suffer an injury-in-fact regarding his CORA claims,” and therefore lacked standing to sue under the law, a brief filed by Katta says.
The Court of Appeals judges asked Katta how they are supposed to determine Sturgell’s legal standing without findings of fact from the district court judge.
“It seems that there is a threshold issue regarding standing that we can’t address, which is whether the fee was reasonable,” said Judge Lino Lipinsky de Orlov before offering a hypothetical scenario. “Let’s say the department says, you want two documents, it’s $10 million, and the requester doesn’t pay it. Is that a denial?”
Katta acknowledged a $10 million fee would “seem unreasonable,” but said Sturgell didn’t properly plead his case in district court and failed to give the health department 14 days’ notice before filing suit, as CORA requires. Sturgell’s court filings dispute that claim.

COUNCIL VOTES TO SPONSOR AURORA PRIDE, REVISE PIT BULL QUESTION AT 3RD MEETING DISRUPTED BY PROTESTS
SBY MAX LEVY,
upporters of Kilyn Lewis brought a third consecutive meeting of Aurora’s City Council to a halt July 22, again prompting the council to continue its meeting in a nearby room, where it voted to approve new union contracts for first responders, sponsor an annual LGBTQ pride event and rephrase a ballot question related to the ownership of pit bulls.
After the July 8 meeting where the council voted to modify its agenda in a way that denied dozens of demonstrators the opportunity to speak, a smaller crowd showed up and was able to address the council during open public comment.
The group placed the death of Lewis, an unarmed Black man who was shot May 23 by an Aurora police officer while raising his hands, in the context of Aurora police injuring and killing other unarmed people of color.
Demonstrators again criticized the city for what they described as a failure to hold troubled police officers accountable for misconduct and demanded consequences for Michael Dieck, who shot and killed Lewis.
“I’m going to keep showing up until justice is served,” said Lewis’ mother, LaRonda Jones, say-
ing she believed Dieck deserves to be sentenced to life imprisonment. “It’s not easy for me. I cannot sleep at night, because when I close my eyes, all I can see is my son just lying on the ground, and imagining his voice, saying, ‘I ain’t got nothing.’”
Multiple speakers exceeded the council’s three-minute limit on comments by individuals, and upon reaching the one-hour limit for all comments unrelated to agenda items, a majority of the council rejected a motion by Councilmember Crystal Murillo to hear the remaining eight speakers.
As they had during the two previous meetings, demonstrators then marched toward the council dais with their hands raised, chanting Lewis’ name, while police officers lined up in front of the dais and council members exited the Paul Tauer Council Chamber through a rear door.
The remaining speakers took the podium one by one, addressing interim police chief Heather Morris, while the council proceeded with its agenda in the nearby Aurora Room, this parallel meeting being projected on screens in the council chamber.
“Community simply wanted to be heard,” Auon’tai Anderson said while addressing those in the chamber. The former Denver Public Schools board member has taken on a leadership role
throughout the protests that began last month as communications director for the Justice for Kilyn Lewis Action Committee.
Near the end of the council meeting, broadcasting from the Aurora Room, Councilmember Stephanie Hancock responded to criticism of comments she had made July 8, when she referred to protesters who showed up that night as “terrorists.”
“For those who are upset about my choice of words when I said ‘terrorists’ in this modern vernacular of how people use the word ‘terrorists,’ I apologize if you found that inflammatory,” she said, adding that she disapproved of how protesters subsequently disrupted her July 11 town hall meeting.
Hancock also said that she “didn’t call anyone specifically a terrorist.”
While she described the shooting of Lewis as “tragic” and said she had met privately with Jones the week before, Hancock said she would not let criticism by demonstrators discourage her from serving her constituents. And, along with Mayor Mike Coffman, she stressed that the city council is prohibited by the city’s charter from unilaterally firing police officers.
“He has the right to due process, just like anyone else,” Hancock said of Dieck, and was heckled

by those watching the broadcast of the meeting in the Paul Tauer Council Chamber. “As a city council, we can’t get involved in this. And I know you don’t like it, and you’ll keep screaming and hollering, but that will not change things.”
Protests over Lewis’ death have continued since late June, when the Aurora Police Department released body-worn camera footage of his fatal shooting by police and acknowledged he was unarmed.
The shooting is currently under investigation by the 18th Judicial District’s Critical Incident Response Team, which has the power to recommend criminal charges for Dieck, as well as APD’s Internal Investigations Bureau.
Aurora council debates reservoir rules but votes to support LGBTQ pride event
Swept off the council’s July 8 agenda in the same procedural move that denied Kilyn Lewis supporters the chance to speak, a resolution from Councilmember Alison Coombs declaring the city’s support and sponsorship of Aurora Pride returned Monday and earned the support of the majority of the council.
The sponsorship will come in the form of a $7,500 reduction in price for the annual LGBTQ celebration to book the Aurora Reservoir all day Aug. 3. That amount was lowered from $15,000 after Councilmember Francoise Bergan said she secured $7,500 in private funding to help facilitate the event.
Hancock again tried to remove Coombs’ item from the agenda and postpone consideration of it indefinitely, saying it needed to have been brought earlier to be integrated into the city’s budgeting process and that she disagreed with any organization reserving all of the reservoir.
“I believe everybody already knew it wasn’t going to be something we could fund,” she said. “It’s unfair to have one group rent out the entire park, and we never should have done it in the first place.”
Coombs said she had been told by city staffers that a council meeting was an appropriate forum to bring up the request and that, by avoiding a vote on the question of the sponsorship like it had the week prior, the council was turning its back on LGBTQ residents.
“Part of it’s about funding, but part of it’s also about sending that message to our community that, yes, you are welcome and valued here,” Coombs said.
“Removing it from the agenda or voting ‘no’ tells the LGBTQ+ people in this city that uniquely this council, not any of the previous conservative city councils that have governed this city, doesn’t believe we should have a
safe space for one day to celebrate our community.”
Zander Oklar, executive director of Aurora Pride, also said the event would be in “a very difficult spot” if the council did not go through with the sponsorship that it has historically not balked at. He brought up how Aurora Pride brings visitors to the city who pay taxes on food, drinks and parking, totaling an estimated positive economic impact of more than $300,000.
While Hancock and Councilmember Jurinsky both said they believed the matter of organizations booking the entire reservoir needed to be dealt with ahead of the Aug. 3 event for which Oklar said tickets have already been sold, the rest of the council expressed its support for again sponsoring Aurora Pride.
“I think that’s not the conversation we’re having tonight,” Councilmember Curtis Gardner said on the topic of changing the rules for reserving the reservoir. He also brought up how the council had agreed to spend thousands of dollars on sponsored tables at dinners hosted by the High Line Canal Conservancy District, Colorado State Patrol and other entities.
“I could go on and on through the list of table sponsorships that don’t bring hundreds and thousands of visitors and tax revenue into the city,” Gardner said. “Purely from the standpoint of where we spend our sponsorship dollars, I think it’s right in line with all of the events we sponsor.”
Coffman also said the policy of the reservoir wasn’t what the council was deciding on and mentioned that he planned to attend the event himself.
Nine council members ultimately voted in favor of Coombs’ resolution. City Clerk Kadee Rodriguez did not announce who voted for and against the item, and a breakdown of the vote was not immediately available.
Jurinsky promised to bring an ordinance that would prevent organizations from booking the entire reservoir for an event, saying the “fact that previous councils have allowed the reservoir to be shut down for any reason, for any event, I don’t care what the group, what the organization is, is disturbing in and of itself.”
Also city lawmakers:
•Voted to restate the question headed to Aurora voters this fall of whether the city should continue to ban the ownership of pit bulls in the city, clarifying that a “yes” vote supports allowing ownership of those dogs.
• Approved updated contracts for the city’s unionized police officers and firefighters.
• Agreed to opt out of a state law prohibiting the concealed carry of firearms in city buildings.
• Rejected a proposal in study session to lease a greenhouse owned by the city for use by Food Justice Northwest Aurora.
Sentinel’s request for 2022 secret meeting recording headed to state supreme court
Colorado’s Supreme Court confirmed July 22 that it will weigh in on whether the City of Aurora must release the recording of a 2022 closed-door meeting in which City Council members voted to end the censure process pending against one of their own.
The court’s decision to grant the city’s request that it hear the case means justices will evaluate wheth-
er a Colorado Court of Appeals panel made the right call in December 2023, when the panel found that the council violated Colorado’s Open Meetings Law by casting their votes behind closed doors, necessitating the release of the recording to Sentinel Colorado.
Also at issue is a finding by the appellate court that the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, which has agreed to represent the newspaper pro-bono in its efforts to obtain the recording, is not entitled to attorneys’ fees from the city, since the newspaper does not meet the definition of a “citizen” under state law and is thus not able to recoup fees, according to the panel.
The Supreme Court’s decision to hear the case means a final order to release the March 2022 recording may not come until 2025, since the last briefs in the case may not be due until December.
In early 2022, then-Councilmember Juan Marcano initiated censure proceedings against Jurinsky after Jurinsky told a regional talk radio show host how she had encouraged then-police chief Vanessa Wilson to replace deputy chief, Darin Parker. Jurinsky also criticized Wilson’s leadership of the Aurora Police Department, referring
›› See METRO, 8
to the chief as “trash.”
Marcano accused Jurinsky of violating a section of the City Charter that prohibits council members from meddling in the appointment of employees who fall under the authority of the city manager.
He also said Jurinsky’s statements about Wilson went against the language of the council’s rules of order and procedure, which require members to “conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times” when interacting with city staffers.
A supermajority vote of the council to censure Jurinsky would have been the first step before Jurinsky could be punished for her statements. However — during a closed-door meeting on March 14, 2022 — a majority of the council voted to halt the censure process and pay fees for an attorney hired by Jurinsky.
Council rules stipulated at the time that, while an executive session could be called to receive legal advice regarding the process of disciplining an elected official, “no action or decision may occur in the executive session.”
The Open Meetings Law also limits what city councils are allowed to do outside of the public eye and generally prohibits groups from adopting “any proposed policy, position, resolution, rule, regulation or formal action” in secret. If a court finds that a group took such action anyway, recordings of that meeting must be made available for public inspection.
Because the council’s actions
• Great Burgers
appeared to violate the Open Meetings Law, and because the city also failed to announce the specific topic of the closed-door meeting ahead of time, which is required under state law, _Sentinel Colorado_ requested the electronic recording of this private meeting from the city.
The city refused, with City Clerk Kadee Rodriguez writing that the recording was “privileged attorney / client communication and is exempt from disclosure.”
Arapahoe County District Court judge Elizabeth Beebe Volz found in the city’s favor in September 2022, but in December of last year, the Colorado Court of Appeals overturned Volz’s ruling, saying she had made a “clear error” in her analysis of the law. The city petitioned the Colorado Supreme Court to hear the case earlier this year.
The city has spent tens of thousands of dollars fighting the Sentinel’s request for that recording as well as the recording of an October 2023 council committee meeting, which also took place behind closed doors and was not announced to the public ahead of time, despite the Open Meetings Law requiring the committee to do so.
Aurora joins growing list of Colorado cities, counties opting out of new gun-carrying restrictions
A growing number of cities and counties in Colorado have opted out of a recently enacted state law that forbids people from bringing fire-
arms into “sensitive spaces,” like government buildings and courthouses.
The decisions are motivated by the view that the people who live in those communities are best equipped to manage the safety of their public facilities.
Douglas County was the state’s first locality to push aside the law, approved by the legislature earlier this year as Senate Bill 131. County leaders passed a resolution in midMay to allow firearms in its government buildings -- two weeks before Gov. Jared Polis even signed the bill. Weld County is the most recent, exercising its withdrawal from the law last week.
“I know people who carry a firearm everywhere they go, and for us to tell them we don’t trust you to carry a firearm when you come see us (at Board of Commissioners meetings) is wrong,” said Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas. “This is about the citizens being able to protect themselves -- this is their constitutional right.”
The law, which went into effect July 1, “prohibits a person from knowingly carrying a firearm, both openly and concealed” at municipal or county buildings, courthouses, polling places, and public or private schools, universities and child care centers. The prohibition also applies to adjacent parking areas. It contains exemptions for law enforcement, military and security personnel, along with some others who carry guns as part of official duties.
Notably, the law provides an escape hatch, permitting a local government to allow the carrying of a firearm in its buildings. But the new restrictions would remain for other types of buildings covered by the law.
use of firearms, he said -- raising the risk of tragic results, should tempers flare.
“Do we trust our police officers to keep us safe? If we do, this bill makes sense,” Ezeadi said of the new law.
State Sen. Chris Kolker, a Littleton Democrat and an SB-131 sponsor, said the bill was a comfort to some Colorado communities in an age when “we’re not keeping our social graces.”
He said some municipal leaders approached him and other statehouse Democrats to see what lawmakers could do on the topic, given the legal gray area¬†they’d be stepping into if they tried to enact firearms restrictions at the local level.
The measure is one of a several gun-control bills the Democrat-dominated legislature passed this year.
“We are seeing contentious arguments. We are seeing people come into town halls and school board meetings, and the nature of the discussion has turned negative,” Kolker said. “We feel guns are disruptive -- they can cause fear when people want to practice good political discourse.”
Kolker’s bill was far more expansive when it was introduced early in the 2024 legislative session. Its gun prohibition umbrella initially included churches, hospitals, bars, public parks, recreation centers -- even zoos.
Lawmakers winnowed it down generally to government buildings -including the state Capitol -- polling places and school property¬†before getting the governor’s signature on May 31.
She sees laws like SB-131 as an overreach by state lawmakers who aren’t adept at distinguishing between the challenges and needs of large Front Range cities and small rural communities in Colorado.
Yes, town trustee meetings in Palmer Lake get heated, Havenar said. But everyone respects everyone else’s right to feel differently and speak out. There is no metal detector to screen people, and two police officers attend the meetings to keep order.
A gun-free protocol would do little to stop a person from committing the unthinkable crime, the mayor said.
“If someone wanted to shoot up the council chambers, you could shoot through the windows,” she said, referring to the decidedly unfortified 110-year-old Craftsman-style town hall. The new law “doesn’t stop the bad guys -- it only stops the person following the law.”
But Nick Ehrhardt, a fellow trustee in Palmer Lake and the lone vote against the opt-out last month, said certain places in society simply aren’t appropriate for guns. To him, municipal buildings are considered “sensitive” spaces for a reason.
“I’m going into this Town Hall as an elected member to engage in important dialogue,” he said. “That’s exactly where tempers are going to flare. The last thing I want is that last resort of someone grabbing a gun.”

Honest Journalism
There are now about a dozen counties, cities and towns across Colorado that have opted out of the law. They include Teller, Routt, Mesa and Morgan counties and Palmer Lake, Monument and Castle Rock.
Both Aurora and Westminster are discussing whether to do the same.
“I want people who are law abiding and went through the rigor of getting their concealed carry permit to be able to exercise their right to conceal carry,” Westminster City Councilman Dave DeMott said last week. “To me, it’s about personal safety.”
DeMott is bringing an opt-out resolution to the council’s July 22 meeting, but not all of his colleagues are on board. Councilman Obi Ezeadi said he worried the presence of guns in council chambers could intimidate residents into silence during meetings -- or dissuade people from running for the council.
“In today’s politically volatile climate, the presence of firearms in City Hall poses a significant threat,” he said. “You can imagine the intimidation (of an audience member) if the person next to them has a gun.”
Ezeadi, a Democrat who last month lost a primary bid for a state Senate seat, said he looks to Westminster’s police force to protect people at public meetings. There’s no way to know what level of training an individual has received in the
That may still be too much for Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, the gun-rights advocacy group that has sued the governor and various municipalities over the years with claims of government overreach on gun restrictions. Ian Escalante, the group’s director of operations, said it was “seriously considering our options” with SB-131, including a legal challenge.
The law, he said, flies in the face of the country’s presumption of innocence doctrine.
“Deal with the bad actors -- don’t treat everyone like bad actors,” Escalante said. “Just because you are in council chambers, your God-given rights to self-defense don’t end where politicians’ feelings begin. The state government is ramming Denver’s agenda down the throats of localities.”
Concealed carry permit holders have to go through a training course on how to properly handle their weapon, Escalante said -- giving them an extra level of conscientiousness and awareness of gun safety and firearms laws.
Palmer Lake Mayor Glant Havenar has a concealed carry permit and so do many of her fellow residents in the rural El Paso County town of 2,600. The town board passed an opt-out resolution on June 27.
“People here carry all the time and it’s no problem. In a lot of small towns, people carry every day,” she said. “It’s such a part of their day, they don’t even think about it.”
Tempers in Aurora have flared in a big way in the last few weeks, following the May 25 police killing of 37-year-old Kilyn Lewis, an unarmed Black man who was being sought on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder. Recent City Council proceedings in Colorado’s third-largest city have been shouted down and repeatedly disrupted as protesters have demanded justice for Lewis’ death.
Councilman Curtis Gardner said that in this volatile environment, he’s not worried about “law-abiding gun owners exercising their constitutional right to conceal carry firearms in the council chambers.” Aurora didn’t ban the concealed carry of firearms in city buildings before the new law took effect.
“While I am concerned about the increase in tempers in local government spaces in the last several years, continuing to allow the concealed carry of firearms by law-abiding gun owners isn’t what most concerns me,” he said.
During a study session last week, Gardner introduced a measure that would opt Aurora out of the new state law. He wrote in an email to The Denver Post that many mass shootings -- even most -- have happened in places where guns aren’t permitted, showing that those laws and policies don’t deter individuals intent on carrying out harm.
“Local municipalities, not the state legislature, should be in charge of security for their buildings,” Gardner said. “Every local government has unique needs and various protocols, and our security practices shouldn’t be the purview of the state legislature.”

12 years after Aurora theater shooting, a community still grieves
It’s been 12 years since a body-armor-clad gunman walked into Aurora’s Century 16 movie theater and opened fire on moviegoers, transforming a night of shared, joyful anticipation into an ordeal of grief, terror and death.
For survivors and for the families of those killed inside Theater 9, the July 19 night vigil near city hall was a chance to reconnect with others united by the fact that, for them, the night of July 19, 2012, will never fade completely into the past.
“We think about you all through the year, especially when other tragedies happen in other communities, I know it tears at your heart because you know what they’re going through,” said Heather Dearman, cousin of Ashley Moser, who was shot and survived but lost her two children.
Dearman also leads the 7/20 Memorial Foundation, which organizes the annual vigil as well as the memorial 5-kilometer run that took place July 20.
“I look forward to this every year so that I can have this moment to see you all hugging each other, and being vulnerable, and crying with each other, and being angry is OK, too,” Dearman told the dozens of vigil attendees.

Childress, Gordon Cowden, Jessica Ghawi, John Larimer, Matthew McQuinn, Micayla Medek, Veronica Moser-Sullivan, Alex Sullivan, Alexander Teves, Rebecca Wingo and Moser-Sullivan’s unborn sibling, known posthumously as Baby Toews-Moser, all died in the attack.
Seventy others were wounded and many more were left with lasting psychological trauma.
Small memorials for each of the victims killed were set up in the city’s Water-Wise Garden. After a prayer by Mosaic Church of Aurora pastor Reid Hettich and comments from local officials, vigil attendees walked through the garden with tiny, electric candles, laying flowers next to the memorials marked by signs that included short biographies.
Aurora police and firefighters, including some of those who responded to the scene of the shooting, joined the vigil after police captain Sam McGhee read a list of victims’ names over an emergency radio channel and led first responders across the city in a moment of silence.
“We grieve with you, we celebrate life with you, we come out to these events with you, and we will never forget you,”
deputy fire chief Allen Robnett told the group.

Monarch Migration: Winged Wonders on the Move

Buckley Space Force Base makes way for butterfly landings
MILITARY AND WILDLIFE OFFICIALS JOIN TO CREATE AURORA HABITAT FOR THE ENDANGERED MONARCH BUTTERFLY
BY SENTINEL STAFF AND THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Buckley Space Force Base is flying wingman to some of North America’s most celebrated fliers.
Buckley and federal wildlife officials have joined international efforts to conserve the monarch butterfly, an iconic species known for its multi-generational migration across the continent.
Monarch populations have plummeted by more than 90% in recent years, primarily due to habitat loss, prompting increased conservation measures and consideration for listing the species under the Endangered Species Act.
“Monarch butterflies are an important indicator species for the health of our environment,” Veronica Reed, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Biologist at Buckley said in a statement. “By promoting monarch conservation on military installations like Buckley Space Force Base, we can help ensure the survival of these charismatic creatures for generations to come.”
At Buckley, the Natural Resources Program is restoring approximately 1,000 acres of short-grass prairie by planting native “nectar-rich” plants and milkweed species, essential for supporting monarchs and other
pollinators.
The program collaborates with Monarch Joint Venture and Monarch Watch to implement the Integrated Monarch Monitoring Program and Monarch Watch Tagging Program.
Matthew Hurlbert, natural and cultural resource manager for the 460th Civil Engineer Squadron, underscored the importance of these initiatives. “We value our strong partnership with USFWS on Buckley Space Force Base. Having a full-time USFWS resource expert on base allows us to collect data and conserve important habitats for species like the monarch butterfly without interrupting Buckley’s critical missions,” he said. “We have real opportunities to conserve natural areas on base for the benefit of Buckley and the larger front range ecosystem.”
Data collected at Buckley will aid conservation experts in understanding the impacts of current threats on monarch populations and migration patterns across the nation. These efforts are crucial as monarchs face numerous challenges, including climate change and habitat loss.
The urgency of these conservation efforts is highlighted by recent findings in Mexico.
The number of monarch butterflies at their wintering sites in Mexico dropped by 59% this year, marking the second-lowest level since record-keeping began, according to a
February 2024 story by the Associated Press. Experts attribute the decline to heat, drought, and habitat loss.
The butterflies’ migration from Canada and the United States to Mexico and back is a natural marvel. No single butterfly completes the entire journey; instead, successive generations carry on the migration. The annual butterfly count in Mexico measures the area occupied by monarchs clustering on tree branches in the mountain pine and fir forests west of Mexico City. This year, they covered only 2.2 acres, down from 5.4 acres last year.
“It has a lot to do with climate change,” said Gloria Tavera, the conservation director of Mexico’s Commission for National Protected Areas. Experts noted that monarchs moved to higher, cooler mountain tops, suggesting some may have been missed in the traditional population counts.
The situation is similarly dire for the western monarch population, which overwinters in California. Ryan Drum, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, emphasized the significance of these low numbers. “These low numbers we see here are a challenge for all of us,” he said. The new data will inform the U.S. decision on whether to list the migratory monarchs as endangered or threatened species, with a decision expected in October.
While the monarchs themselves are not at immediate risk of extinction, their migration
is threatened. The monarch’s journey, the longest migration of any insect species, involves multiple generations breeding along the way. Drought, severe weather, habitat loss, pesticide use, and illegal logging all pose significant threats.
Gregory Mitchell, a researcher for Environment and Climate Change Canada, described the decline as “very sobering,” but expressed hope, noting, “We have the drive, we have the tools, we have the people” to address human impacts on monarch migration. Mitchell also pointed out the effects of climate change, with fewer monarchs seen in Canada this year.
Humberto Peña, head of Mexico’s protected areas, proposed creating a “safe corridor” for migrating butterflies, reducing herbicide and pesticide use, and enforcing stricter anti-deforestation measures.
Amid the troubling news, there was a positive development: deforestation in the Mexican forests where monarchs winter dropped to about 10 acres this year, a significant reduction from the 145 acres lost last year, largely due to decreased illegal logging.
As conservation efforts continue, initiatives like those at Buckley Space Force Base play a crucial role in ensuring the monarch butterfly’s remarkable migration endures for future generations, preservation experts said.
Throughout the fairgrounds, visitors can enjoy a vast array of food, beverages, and vendor offerings.

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.

PRESTON’S EARTH Colorado Lynching Memorial Project builds a bridge to healing
BY LENTHEUS CHANEY, Sentinel Story Sprint Reporter
The Sentinel Story Sprint is a two-week, statewide journalism project. Story Sprint brings students from Colorado State University, Community College of Aurora and Colorado College into the Aurora newsroom for two weeks to cover local stories, alongside veteran journalists. Funded by a grant from the Colorado Media Project, the Sentinel Story Sprint provides a professional newsroom with emerging journalists, and emerging journalists with a professional newsroom.
In the town of Limon, whispers of the past are reminders of a grim chapter of America’s history of racial violence and injustice that unfolded here more than a century ago.
Limon sits on the eastern plains of the state, with roughly 90 minutes of prairie interstate separating the small town from Denver. Home to barely 2,000 now, in 1900, only 926 people lived in surrounding Lincoln County, according to the Colorado State Demography Office.
On Nov. 16, 1900, a 15-year-old Black boy, Preston John Porter Jr., was lynched in Limon before a large crowd that had gathered to witness the spectacle.
The Colorado Lynching Memorial Project compiled the sordid story of Porter’s lynching from research and news clippings from the time.
Porter was working on railroad construction in Limon, along with his father and brother, and they traveled to Denver to cash a check
for their labor on the Union Pacific Railway.
While in Denver, authorities questioned the three about the rape and murder of Louise Frost, a 12-year-old white farm girl who lived just outside Limon.
Despite their denials of any involvement, they were arrested and detained in a Denver jail, housed within what was then Denver City Hall at 14th and Larimer streets, today known as Bell Plaza.
Porter endured four days of torture in a sweatbox and was coerced into confessing under the threat of his father and brother being lynched. Without any court appearance or action, Denver police sent him back to Limon by train.
As the train approached Limon, a mob abducted Porter, bound him to a railroad tie and pieces of lumber, and burned him alive before a crowd of more than 300 people.

MEMORIAL PROJECT, 16

PHOTOS BY TRI DUONG, FOR THE SENTINEL ON THE COVER: Soil jar in representation of Preston Porter Jr. and his photo ready for the journey to join the collection with Equal Justice Initiative’s Community Remembrance Project.
Jovan Mays volunteers as a coalition member for the Colorado Lynching Memorial Project. He said many people in the Denver metro area, as well as the eastern plains, were unaware of these events until recently. He said he feels an urgency to teach Black men about the dangers and fears rooted in these historical traumas.
“I think about young Black men having to operate in spaces of majority whiteness and the tensions that could come from that, and when you think about the discomfort that you hear from them, it gets validated in moments when you learn about Preston Porter’s story of danger, of fear, of being tried as an adult when you’re just a child, of being adulted when you’re just a child,” Mays said.
Confronting the Truth of Racial Terror Lynchings
According to their website, the Colorado Lynching Memorial Project aims to advance racial justice and reconciliation by documenting past racial terror lynchings within the state, fighting for their proper recognition, and commemorating the victims’ memories. They also work closely with the national nonprofit law office, Equal Justice Initiative, which supports efforts to educate communities about the history of racial injustice.
Education and transparency inspires thoughtful consideration and, ultimately, change, initiative members say.
Prior to the creation of the memorial project and becoming a coalition member, Judy Ollman served as a volunteer liaison with the Equal Justice Initiative. She started the local memorial project with the help
of others, such as author Stephen Leonard and Anthony Suggs from the Episcopal Church in Colorado.
She said initially it was easy to get coalition members involved.
“Preston’s story is so compelling that once people realize what happened to Preston, they’re shocked,” Ollman said. “Most people are just completely shocked that this could have happened in Colorado.”
In 2018, the memorial project, in conjunction with the Equal Justice Initiative, spearheaded an effort to uncover, memorialize, and educate the public about seven documented racial terror lynchings that took place within the state between 1867 and 1902.
A “racial terror lynching” operated outside of legal frameworks, Mays said. It was typically mob-led, and was a widespread extrajudicial execution method in the United States and across the globe for centuries.
“Lynching as a form of capital punishment has been a part of the world for a long time, and what makes racial terror lynching different is that it’s mob centric, meaning that a grouping not bound to law is conducting that capital punishment,” Mays said.
Mays tagged racial terror lynching to the Jim Crow era, a period of American history when there were no or only minimal repercussions for carrying out such a violent act.
Becoming visibly emotional while discussing Porter’s death, Mays described how during the boy’s lynching, he called out and asked God for mercy, not only for himself, but also for his killers.
“It is said that Preston, during said time, was showing an abstract amount of empathy for those men,” Mays said, “Particularly by reading them Bible verses, particularly by tearing out the pages of the
Honoring Preston John Porter
Jr.
In profound remembrance, members of the Colorado memorial project trekked to Montgomery, Alabama, to memorialize Porter with a soil dedication, part of a nationwide memorial honoring dozens of victims with dozens of jars.
Coalition members filled a large jar with soil from Denver’s old city hall site, where Porter was tortured, as well as soil taken from the vicinity of the old train station near Limon where the mob apprehended and lynched him.
The group flew to transfer the soil to the National Memorial for Peace and Justice which was created by the Equal Justice Initiative.
“Taking that soil through the airport, getting checked at TSA, and having to clarify that we’re part of one of the most unique ceremonies I imagine that we have in this country, maybe in the world, has brought me just immense joy to be a part of that experience,” Mays said.
Mays described Porter’s memorial as one of the most profound moments of his life and likened the symbolic nature of the soil transfer to creating a fraternity of solidarity among lynching victims.
“Watching the soil get transferred felt like a representation of Preston’s body finding a home,” Mays said. “While it felt like a funeral, it also felt like a graduation and at times for me it felt like we are celebrating the ‘sweet sixteen’ that Preston deserved to have.”

Dara Ollman, who works with her mother, Judy Ollman, at the memorial project, accompanied Mays

on the trip and said she was overwhelmed and cried a lot during the ceremony.
“It was really emotional to finally be able to do a memorial for Preston,” Dara Ollman said. “It was a long time coming for us, but then to think about how long of a time coming it was for Preston to finally get this opportunity for dignity and peace and to rest, to really rest. That was just really emotional.”
Overcoming Hurdles for Commemoration
Despite keen interest from so many, the memorial project has faced a host of challenges in bringing full recognition to Porter’s story.
The Equal Justice Initiative’s process requires the formation of a community-based coalition to spearhead the placement of a historical marker and the initiation of an essay contest. Although Denver successfully met both milestones, Judy Ollman said the project didn’t get support for a coalition, a marker, or an essay contest in Limon.
“Some of them (Limon residents) were elderly, and I think that it was a lot for them to take on,” Ollman said. “Some of them were on the other end of the spectrum; they were very young. I just don’t think anybody was ready to make that kind of commitment.”
Mays said although the Limon community has not responded to inquiries about
participating in the memorial project, he is optimistic that with collaboration and repeated effort, the obstacles might be overcome.
“Some of the challenges that we’ve had in the community of Limon with activating the community remembrance project have been radio silence when it comes to our communication to try to execute a high school essay contest and get a historical marker erected,” Mays said. “What it’s going to take is collaborative communication, and we continue to struggle with that design of figuring out partnerships with people who want to be involved.”
Mays isn’t alone in hoping members from the Limon community will join the memorial project’s efforts to complete Porter’s recognition there.
Montana Stevenson joined the memorial project shortly after moving to Colorado. She served as the facilitator of the essay contest for Denver school students. She was able to initiate the essay contest in Denver only after the historical marker had been placed there per the Equal Justice Initiative’s process.
“I would like there to be some kind of marker or acknowledgment in Limon, and I know it is challenging, I’m sure, for some members of that community to face that history, especially if they have family members who were involved,” Stevenson said. “But I think it’s important. It’s really important for us to recognize these things that

have happened and acknowledge them so that they don’t get repeated.”
Stevenson said that the Denver schools essay contest helped students see how instances of racial injustice continue to plague Black people today.
“A lot of them (Denver students) didn’t know the story of Preston Porter Jr., and they had the chance to research his story or another story of racial injustice that happened either in Colorado, or the whole U.S.,” Stevenson said. “It was an opportunity for them to learn about a historical event and put current conversations about racial injustice and issues that were still happening in America in a historical context.”
Lucille Reimer, the library director in Limon, provided insight from the perspective of a Limon resident. She acknowledged the resistant attitude some community members may have toward revisiting this grim part of their history.
“I think the only people who are probably totally resistant are the quote-unquote old timers,” Reimer said. “I think they feel it gives them a black eye because that’s not how they want to be known, as a lynch mob.”
The Colorado Lynching Memorial Project emphasizes the importance of remembrance, education and community effort in confronting and understanding painful historical events. As the memorial project concludes its tribute to Preston John Porter Jr. in Limon, the organization moves forward with plans to commemorate the six other identified victims of racial terror lynching statewide by preserving their stories as reminders of efforts to attain justice and equality.
Dara Ollman said that the arts are key to reaching people’s hearts in these communities of resistance.
“I would like to see storytelling done through all the arts—plays, music, interactive art experiences,” she said. “We’ve seen the potential of opening people up with these Meow Wolf art places. What if we created something similar that promotes awareness and conversation in communities?”
She said that involvement has allowed her to advocate for justice and equality by telling Porter’s story and immersing herself in his experience.
“I think it’s got a lot to do with outreach to the community at this point and really trying to build relationships with people to help them connect in some personal way to Preston’s story,” she said. “I think something that happens when you get proximate to someone’s story like this is that it brings you closer to a part of yourself as well. It gives you proximity to your humanity.”

The Paris Olympics begin July 27 with the eyes of the world focused on the best athletes from each country.
Among those will be a trio with former or current Aurora ties, who will represent two different countries when the games get underway. Two of them are among Colorado’s contingent of 29 Olympic and Paralympic representatives, which is tied for the sixth-largest contigent from any of the United States.
Here’s a brief bio of the locals, their past international experience and what earned them a chance to go after a medal on the bigggest stage:

JORDYN POULTER, WOMEN’S VOLLEYBALL
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor
Poulter — a 26-year-old who is a graduate of Eaglecrest High School — is back for a chance to win a second gold medal with the U.S. women’s indoor volleyball team after she had a hand in helping it win its first during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The 6-foot-2 setter has been a part of the U.S. Women’s National Team since 2018, garnered Best Setter honors in the Olympic victory and earned a second straight Olympic trip after taking off all of 2023 to recover from a severe knee injury. Poulter is joined again on the U.S. roster by another former Colorado star in hitter Haleigh Washington, who hails from the Colorado Springs area. Poulter loves Colorado and the Aurora area, but she also loves to play abroad, which she did for the U.S. in international competition as a teenager and also as a professional
once she became an adult. Poulter toured the globe with youth national teams during her time at Eaglecrest and has played professionally in Italy since 2018, when she wrapped up an All-American career at the University of Illinois. PERSONAL: Poulter and her family have been a fixture of local volleyball. Her parents are Rhonda and Bob, and she has a younger sister, Lorrin, who also played at Eaglecrest, followed by time at the University of Denver and Purdue. WATCH: Poulter and the U.S. women’s indoor volleyball team begin pool play on July 29 against China and will also play Serbia (July 31) and host France (Aug. 4) in Pool A play. The sport’s quarterfinal round takes place Aug. 6, followed by semifinals on Aug. 8 and the gold and bronze medal matches on Aug. 11.
EMMA WEBER, WOMEN’S SWIMMING
Weber’s hometown is Boulder, but the now 20-year-old spent her last two high school seasons swimming for Regis Jesuit High School in Aurora. Inspired by Regis Jesuit alum Missy Franklin, Weber won three Colorado Class 5A state championships in four seasons in the 100 yard breaststroke (one for Fairview and two for Regis Jesuit), she earned a crown in the 200 yard individual medley, and she was a multiple-time All-American between her time at Fairview and Regis Jesuit. Weber moved on to compete at the University of Virginia, while she kept an eye on the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha. It was there in June that she stamped herself on the national swimming map with a runner-up performance in the 100 meter breaststroke. She finished behind only Lilly King (the current world record holder in the event) and unseated Tokyo gold medalist Lydia Jacoby by a fraction of a second. The Paris Games will

Two former Cherokee Trail players go in
2024 Major League Draft
Over the course of three days and 20 rounds, a total of 615 players were taken in the latest Major League baseball Draft and 10 of them were from Colorado.
Among those with local ties were a pair of arms who pitched at Aurora’s Cherokee Trail High School in Ethan Sloan and Nolan Sparks, who both lost their seniors seasons in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sloan went in the eighth round with the 236th overall pick to the Detroit Tigers, while Sparks lasted until pick No. 381, which belonged to the St. Louis Cardinals and came in the 13th round.
Sloan pitched for Cherokee Trail under coach Steve Eaton in the 2018-19 season and logged 30 1/3 innings on the mound with a record of 2-1 and a 3.46 ERA. He went on to pitch at Denver’s Regis University for four seasons and progressively got to the point where he had drawn professional interest with raised velocity and his competitiveness. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound left-hander finished his career with a 14-8 record and 13 saves and 167 strikeouts in 127 2/3 innings. His last season was his best as he finished 4-2 with nine saves and a 3.96 ERA.
“I think most kids have that dream of being a professional athlete, whether that be baseball, football or whichever sport. And I had that dream growing up too until about high school, when I saw some of the talent around me, and that dream kind of shifted to making it to the college level,” Sloan said in a release from Regis University after he was drafted. “I signed with Regis and my whole goal was I wanted to work so hard, and reach the very peak of my potential, that in four years’ time I wouldn’t have any regrets in retiring from baseball.

But then things started to change a bit around my junior year.”
Sloan really excelled in the bullpen in his past two seasons and his velocity has topped out at 97 MPH.
“I think Detroit is getting a kid that has a desire to be very good and has a track record of having swing-and-miss stuff, which has become a very valued part of the pro game,” Regis coach Pat Jolley said in a statement. “Ethan is also a guy who, no matter what the score is, you can always count on to go out and compete.”

Looking down deep
What is an MRI?
BY MATTHEW PERRONE, AP Health Writer
What if there was a way to peer into your body and spot early signs of cancer and other life-threatening ailments before they became serious?
That’s the pitch from a new cluster of companies selling high-tech scans to healthy people interested in learning more about their wellness.
These whole-body MRI scans aren’t cheap. Startup companies like Prenuvo charge between $1,000 to $2,500 for various scanning options, none of which are currently covered by insurance.
Proponents say consumer-driven medical scans are the next logical step in preventive medicine. The industry has received a big publicity push from celebrities and influencers like Kim Kardashian, who posted about her Prenuvo scan last year.
But many medical experts say the companies are selling expensive, unproven technology that may cause extra worries and unnecessary treatment, while driving up costs for the U.S. health system.
Here’s what to know before considering a scan:
MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. It’s a type of medical scan that uses magnetic fields to produce detailed images of organs, bones and other structures inside the body. Unlike many other types of scans, MRIs don’t use radiation.
Doctors will order an MRI to help diagnose cancer, brain injuries, damaged blood vessels and other medical conditions. Full-body scans can take an hour or more, with patients lying motionless inside a cylindrical tube.
Medical societies only recommend routine, full-body scans for certain highrisk groups, such as people who have a heightened genetic risk of cancer.
“MRIs are great for what they’re typically used for,” said Dr. Ernest Hawk, a vice president at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. “But now you’re moving them much earlier into an average risk population and that’s where you can run into these questions that haven’t been answered.”
Why are people paying for them now?
Companies like Prenuvo say their scans can help identify more than 500 medical conditions that can go undetected at a typical doctor’s visit.
The company charges $999 to scan the torso, $1,799 for the head and torso or $2,499 for the entire body. Several
other companies offer similar services and pricing.
Prenuvo’s chief medical officer, Dr. Daniel Durand, says customers can decide for themselves if the price is worth it.
“We’re trying to give people the opportunity to be more proactive about their health,” Durand said.
Along with the scans and a reader-friendly summary of the results, customers can consult with a nurse or physician employed by Prenuvo to talk about next steps.
The company says it doesn’t pay for endorsements but will sometimes “provide a complimentary scan for an unbiased review.”
What are the potential downsides of MRI
screening services?
Many radiologists say the likelihood of finding a serious problem, such as a cancerous tumor or brain aneurysm, in someone with no symptoms is very low. Instead, scans are likely to flag growths that are usually harmless. Definitively ruling out a problem could require additional tests, appointments and even surgeries.
“You’re going to end up finding a lot of incidental things,” said Dr. Mina Makary, a radiologist at Ohio State Wexner Medical Center. “That’s going to create more psychological stress or trauma for the patient, including additional costs for
tests and procedures that may have risks.”
Experts also worry that people who undergo MRI scans may start skipping other routine exams, such as mammograms.
“You’ve gone through a scan and it didn’t find anything so you say ‘Gee, I don’t need to do the other routine things my doctor recommends that have been proven to extend life,” said Hawk.
What do medical authorities say?
The American College of Radiology does not recommend MRI screening in people without symptoms, stating that there is “no documented evidence” the technique is “cost-efficient or effective in prolonging life.”
The Food and Drug Administration has not approved any MRI machines for preventive screening, but doctors are free to use the devices however they choose.
There are examples of imaging practices that were once considered experimental but have subsequently become standard practice. Prenuvo executives say their approach could follow a similar path.
“The evidence will evolve over time but patients don’t necessarily want to wait 30 years to be in a position to benefit from it,” said Prenuvo’s Durand.

Pill-iferation
HOW TO TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT REVIEWING WHAT’S NEEDED
SBY CARLA K. JOHNSON, AP Medical Writer
wallowing a handful of pills is a daily ritual for many people, but taking too many meds can cause problems. Asking your doctor or pharmacist for a medication review can help if your daily pill routine is getting out of hand. Some drugs can cause harm if taken for years. Others stop working or interact poorly with a new drug. A drug tolerated well at first can cause side effects later, leading to cognitive decline and injuries from falls. Asking questions about your medications is an important step toward better health.
Swallowing a handful of pills is a daily ritual for many people, from young adults coping with anxiety to older adults managing chronic conditions. Overall, 13% of people in the U.S. take five or more prescription drugs. For those 65 and older, that number is 42%.
If you’re taking multiple meds, it’s smart to be aware of potential problems. One pill can lead to a side effect, leading to another pill and another side effect in what experts call a “prescribing cascade.”
Some drugs can cause harm if taken for years. Others stop working or interact badly with a new drug. A drug tolerated well at first can cause side effects later, leading to cognitive decline and injuries from falls.
“Our metabolism changes as we get older,” said Dr. Elizabeth Bayliss, who studies deprescribing at Kaiser Permanente’s Institute for
Health Research in Aurora, Colorado. “Everyone’s ability to metabolize the medications they’ve been taking for a long time may change.”
The nonprofit Lown Institute calls the whole situation a medication overload that will cause 4.6 million hospital visits this decade.
If your daily pill routine is getting out of hand, ask for a medication review. Here’s how to get started with a process called “deprescribing.”
Ask for a prescription checkup
Start with a professional you trust, like a doctor or pharmacist, said Lisa McCarthy, a pharmacist and deprescribing expert at the University of Toronto.
If you’re asking your doctor, don’t wait until the end of a 15-minute visit. Instead, make a dedicated appointment and tell them when booking you want to talk about your medicines, McCarthy said.
Your doctor may not have the full picture of what you’re taking if other prescribers are involved, and some doctors hesitate to manage drugs prescribed by others. That’s when a pharmacist can help by reviewing everything and writing up suggestions you can share with your doctors, said pharmacist Bradley Phillips of the University of Florida College of Pharmacy.
“We’re considered the medication experts,” Phillips said.
Could my medicine be causing a problem?
Swelling, incontinence, restlessness, insomnia — all are side effects caused by common medications that sometimes get treated with new drugs. McCarthy wants people to ask their doctors a simple question: Could this symptom be related to one of my medications?
“If we could teach the public to ask that question it would be very powerful,” McCarthy said. And for a follow-up question, she suggested: Do I still need this medicine?
Pharmacist Barbara Farrell sees dramatic changes in many people she helps at an outpatient geriatric center in Ottawa, Ontario. Some have emerged from a drug-induced dementia after their meds are reduced. A 77-year-old woman was able to leave her wheelchair and walk with a cane after cutting her daily pills from 32 to 17. She had arrived sedated and unable to communicate, and a few months later, she was back to her hobby of knitting.
Weaning off medication takes time
Some meds can be stopped abruptly but others require a slow taper to prevent uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms — or even life-threatening seizures. Tapering to progres-

When will we know if MRI screening helps people live longer?
The studies needed to show such a benefit would have to be very large and long, tracking a diverse population for years, according to experts.
Prenuvo recently announced plans to screen 100,000 people and study their health over time. The study isn’t expected to wrap up until 2034 or later.
Most people enrolling in Prenuvo’s study are expected to pay a $2,200 fee. But eventually academic or government studies could offer individuals a chance to participate in such research without paying out-of-pocket.
“This is a great area in which to participate in a research study that might provide the information you’re seeking, while also helping answer whether this is beneficial or not,” Hawk said. “But doing so outside of a study makes no sense.”
sively lower doses is particularly important with drugs for depression, insomnia and anxiety.
After two decades on various pills for these conditions, therapist Molly Bernardi of Spokane, Washington, began tapering down her doses.
The 45-year-old suspected the pills were the cause of her worsening problems with digestion, balance, memory, stiff muscles and flickering dots across her field of vision. When scans ruled out other illnesses, she gradually stopped each of four medications.
“It’s been by far the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Bernardi said.
One of the final drugs she stopped was the toughest: a benzodiazepine, a class of sedatives that can be harmful if taken long term. Over the course of three months, she used a kitchen knife and a nail file to cut her 1 milligram daily pill into ever-smaller pieces.
She listened to her body, found support groups on Facebook and used breathwork and prayer to get through withdrawal symptoms.
“Now when I have a good day, a good hour, a good moment, it’s peace and presence like I’ve never known since before I was medicated,” Bernardi said. “I’m just experiencing a little bit of great. And a little bit of great is so great that it keeps me going.”
Be in charge of your medication list
Even in the best-connected health care systems, McCarthy said, information about prescriptions isn’t always shared among doctors. And they won’t know about your over-the-counter drugs, vitamins or nightly CBD gummy. The only person who knows everything you take is you, McCarthy said. So keep a current list of what you take, why it was prescribed and when you started taking it.
For an example of a medication list, which McCarthy called
“tremendously powerful” tool, look at the workshop materials she and her colleagues designed.
