AURORA’S CHIEF CONCERNS
The next Aurora police chief oversees hundreds but will be overseen by thousands
Global warming is making Venezuelan gangs post sinister school tweets, OK?
Two things are true nearly every day here on the third rock from the sun, out here in the suburbs of the universe.
First, there are new horrible and sometimes horror stories all day, every day associated with humans having broken the climate control on the planet.
Second, there are new, inexplicable things that appear all day, every day in the public realm that are just too freaky to dismiss by saying, “that’s weird.”
After watching the planet revolve a few thousand times over the last several years, about the time a guy named Newt Gingrich started making sense to a lot of worrisome people, I think I have an answer.
Climate change is not only about to put a bevy of Pacific islands under water for good, flood half of Vermont and starve people all over the planet, it makes some people shake their heads in agreement when they listen to Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talk together on stage. There can be no other explanation other than climate change.
Neither Trump, and especially not Kennedy, make a lick of sense to most cogent Americans. Not long ago, Trump was played by his critics, who on social media attributed quotes from famous fascists to Trump. Trump actually retweeted them, fawning over the wisdom. When reporters pointed out he’d been played into lauding the work of fascists, passed off as his own, he flabbergasted his critics and supporters alike.
“I know who said it,” he said, according to The Atlantic. “But what difference does it make whether it’s Mussolini or somebody else?”
OK.
You would think that even Trump couldn’t be that naive or freaky to brush off a little friendly fascism. It has to be global warming.
Rising temps is what I attributed to Colorado Crazy stuff this week, involving our very own Cherry Creek Schools District.
My phone started blowing up Tuesday morning with people asking whether Cherry Creek officials had gone off the rails with a Twitter stunt. The consternation came from former Colorado Republican Party Chairperson Kristi Burton Brown posting on Twitter, aka X, today that the storied school district was blocking critics from seeing tweets in a horrifying anti-information scam.
Brown posted what appears to be a screenshot of a tweet from Cherry Creek saying, “These posts are protected.” The message said that only confirmed followers could see Cherry Creek school district posts.
Brown had a social media meltdown.
“As a constitutional attorney, I’m going to point that it’s a *big* problem that one of the largest school districts in Colorado is hiding their official social media account from the public.”
She demanded immediate action from Cherry Creek to reverse its new policy and change course.
A short time later, Brown claimed victory for the people’s right to know, citing her right-wing extremist think tank, Advance Colorado, as a provocateur of power.
“Thank you, @CCSDK12 for changing this immediately,” Brown said in a following tweet not long after the first. “At @AdvanceColorado
we stand up for government accountability and transparency for citizens.”
Maybe. Accuracy and facts, however, escape Brown and her fellow soldiers.
A quick call to Cherry Creek communications folks got the, “Sorry, but, ummm, what are you talking about” response.
I explained that Brown was shocked, shocked and dismayed that Cherry Creek would try and conceal its Twitter posts.
A short time later, spox for the school district could only surmise that, back in May, the school district became a target of the right-wing extremist hate group “Libs of TikTok,” exploding their Twitter account with tens of thousands of hate tweets, based on something about a transgen-
der student.
District Communications Director Abbe Smith said district techies paused the account for a few hours or maybe a day until they could figure out what was happening and why.
They restored the account and moved on with life.
Cherry Creek officials on Tuesday had no idea what Brown was referring to, especially when she tweeted shortling after, thanking them for heeding her warning and changing their policy.
Nothing had changed. It all happened in Brown’s private universe of conspiracy and horror.
It’s flooding somewhere in Vermont right now, and there are serious synapse misfires across the conspiracy set here in Colorado.
In the meantime, Cherry Creek officials invite everyone to follow them on Twitter at @CCSDK12 for all kinds of updates.
Thanks, climate change.
Climate change has to be the only thing that could cause some anonymous TikToker calling herself “kami” to insist that everyone in Denver and Aurora are going to die at the hands of rampant and rogue Venezuelan gangs.
Run for your lives, and from your inflated property values, maybe.
“Are you guys keeping up with what’s going on in Denver (nudge nudge) Aurora Colorado? I have friends there that are leaving. They hightailed it out of there.”
Calling herself a “patriot” she says that gun stores and jewelry stores are being robbed and rampaged by Venezuelan gangs “paired up with MS13.”
What “Kami” is referring to is rampant propaganda about a slumlord in Aurora trying to blame his ghastly ghetto projects on Venezuelan immigrants and Tren de Aragua gangs that may have followed them.
There has been no credible proof, none, nada, zippo, that TdA gangs had anything to do with running two apartments and maybe more into uninhabitable conditions.
The propagandists here would have you believe that Aurora and Denver were formerly paradise, free from gangs, shootings, robberies and all other crimes until Venezuelan refugees got off the bus in Denver about two years ago.
I remember walking the streets of northwest Aurora in the early 1990s with “experts” trying to persuade city lawmakers to put up concrete barricades all over the Alton-Beeler area north of Colfax as a way to stop endless drive-by shootings, by preventing cars from being able to drive by.
Real story, folks.
Kami says that Aurora had it coming because it’s a liberal “sanctuary city” that welcomes immigrants and the gang violence she says it brings.
Clearly, the propaganda is part of a national ploy to breed fear in folks and promote anti-immigrant hate — and voting.
Kami, like Brown, needs to focus on the facts and not the fear when wielding propaganda, which has to be caused by climate change.
She overlooks that Aurora is run by a solid majority of conservative and extremist conservative city lawmakers, and has been for a few years.
If the amok she thinks Aurora has run is running at all, it runs not because of the liberals she is slighting.
We’ve got to take climate change seriously, folks. All this came storming across the city and the nation before lunch on Tuesday. Follow @EditorDavePerry on BlueSky, Threads, Mastodon, Twitter and Facebook or reach him at 303-750-7555 or dperry@SentinelColorado.com

Aurora officials shoot new police chief in the foot before he gets his badge on
The Sentinel Editorial Board extends its deepest sympathies to Todd Chamberlain, Aurora’s newest police chief.
The former Los Angeles Police Department commander was politically assaulted and injured — two weeks before he even starts the job — by the very city officials who hired him.
Although the media and the community continue to do due diligence in checking the long professional history of Chamberlain, a career police officer who spent decades of service for LAPD, from what we know so far, he appears qualified and competent.
The City of Aurora, however, has already hobbled Chamberlain with ponderous political baggage simply because city officials unwisely cut the public out of the hiring and vetting process.
It was a needless and possibly catastrophic gaffe.
The entire world knows about the horrors of the Aurora Police Department.
They’ve seen the drunken cop passed out behind the wheel of his squad car, later kept on the force.
The public has a vivid memory of six young Black women and girls forced out of their car and made to lie face-down on hot parking lot asphalt, abused by police after a bogus “arrest.”
There was a pistol whipper, a cop who called Black witnesses “porch monkeys” and kept his job for years, and a former, recent police chief who protected a top commander who lied about her involvement in an illegal domestic violation in Denver.
This is the police department infamous for the killing of Elijah McClain, and so much more.
This is a police department that has destroyed the trust of the people of color in the community it serves, as well as the tens of thousands of white people who also insist that the abuse of force must stop.
This is a department that employs hundreds of honest, faithful and skilled police officers. Yet they, too, are regularly bludgeoned by a police administration and city council that cannot avoid regular self-immolation amid endless political and administrative blunders.
Job One is correcting what the Colorado Attorney General investigation clearly identified as “patterns and practices” of racially based abuse of force.
But just as important is lifting the insular, good-ole-boy cloak of sworn secrecy that has worked to destroy the public’s trust in the Aurora police department.
It is no secret, every other embattled and beleaguered police department in the nation, and every highly-paid consultant they hire to dig them out of their quagmires, insist that transparency, accountability and community engagement are critical to restoring quality police service and public trust.
Aurora police are languishing for the lack of public trust.
Given that the city is desperate for a chief that can help restore that trust, it is astonishing that the city management and city council robbed the public of that critically needed exercise in the hiring of Chamberlain. We, and the public, perfectly understand the age-old argument about hiring top city officials in a publicized arena. It’s a valid argument that a chief, a city manager or any top government official risks souring their current employment relationship by being outed as “job shopping.”
But nothing stopped the city council or city management from announcing Chamberlain as a finalist in the search, pending community engagement and city council ratification.
What’s so astonishing is that it is exactly what the city has done in the past with other police chief candidates, long before Aurora’s reputation became so sullied.
Chamberlain’s priority on Sept. 9, when he is sworn in, should have been to assure the community he is professionally capable of supervising the state-mandated Aurora police reforms which have already been identified.
Chamberlain should immediately tell the public how he will roll out and ensure those reforms, and that he can work to protect the public from an increasingly complex and dynamic catalog of crime problems.
Instead, his first and most important duty now is to try and counter the mistrust already piled onto his tenure. He must immediately spend time cleaning up his already tarnished image.
During his introduction to the community last week at a press conference, Chamberlain directly answered media questions, and he appeared forthright, earnest and well aware of Aurora’s conundrum. He genuinely seemed eager and qualified to address the department’s long-standing issues.
The same city officials who saddled Chamberlain with this unnecessary burden need to focus now on how they can share it.
Keep local property tax control local
After years of increasing home values, no one loves property taxes, but they are how we fund our schools, counties, and “special districts” that fight fires, provide drinking water, maintain parks and libraries and more.
As Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. put it over 100 years ago “Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.” In Colorado, property taxes are LOCAL taxes paid to LOCAL governments – not the state.
So it’s fair to wonder why there’s been a lot of discussion recently about STATE ballot measures that would impact property taxes. Or why, for the second time in less than a year, Gov. Jared Polis summoned the STATE legislature to a special session about property taxes.
The short answer is: Our State Constitution and laws have mixed up the state in property taxation for a long time.
But given the reality that our state is an economically and politically diverse place, we shouldn’t necessarily keep doing what we’ve been doing. In fact, I think a lot of local government leaders and organizations that care about state and local government decisions in Colorado would rather we don’t. A number of them have said so loudly and clearly, as recently as this past Friday, at a meeting of the state’s Property Tax Commission.
That is why, as the Legislature convenes this week, state Sen. Chris Hansen, D-Denver, and I will introduce a measure that, if passed by the requisite two-thirds of both the House and Senate, will allow voters statewide to consider whether they want to stop voting on each other’s property tax bills, while retaining the right to vote on their own.
Wherever you live in Colorado, you pay property taxes to your school district and your county. You may also pay property taxes to one or more special districts, and possibly to a “metropolitan district” associated with the development of your residential community. We all expect the ability to vote on LOCAL taxes related to funding OUR LOCAL governments.
Because of how property tax laws work right now, statewide property tax ballot measures do a lot more than this. But one size does not fit all. For example, when a voter in Douglas County
(generally a conservative county) votes yes on a statewide measure to cut property taxes, that impacts local government funds in the San Luis Valley. However, Douglas County is an exurban, affluent, fast-growing area, and the San Luis Valley is a rural, agricultural area in which some counties are actually losing population.
Or, consider a different statewide ballot measure, say to increase taxes on commercial property (like office buildings or warehouses). If a voter in Boulder County (generally a pretty liberal county) votes yes, that same yes vote contributes to increasing taxes in conservative areas, such as Mesa County, that probably have a lower tax philosophy. Again, this is in the context of LOCAL government and LOCAL taxes like property taxes (contrasted to income taxes, which we pay to fund state government, of which we’re all a part).
Compared to other states, Colorado has a pretty live-and-let-live philosophy. We want to be able to walk our chosen path, and as long as others aren’t keeping us from doing that, most of us are OK if others walk their own chosen paths.
In the parlance of government, this live-andlet-live approach is called “local control.” “Home rule” cities and towns (including Aurora) possess authority that would otherwise be a matter for state government. Our 64 counties all choose their own commissioners (or councilors, in Broomfield and Denver) and can, and do, choose to do things differently. Our 178 school districts across the state educate from fewer than 100 to over 80,000 students.
Currently however, property tax law treads on local control by putting voters in the position of voting to cut, or potentially raise, local property taxes in parts of our state far from their own, even if they don’t want to be in that position.
We can change this. The special legislative session this week will move quickly, and the dominant focus will be on legislation intended to avoid billions of dollars of cuts to schools and other critical services. I hope, in addition, the Legislature will seriously consider the need to truly keep LOCAL taxation LOCAL. If the Legislature does not act on this subject this week, it must do so in the near future, for the sake of stability of communities across Colorado.

1 year after double murder in Aurora, police appeal to the public for leads
‘WE KNOW SOMEBODY OUT THERE HAS INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CASE’
BY SENTINEL STAFF WRITERS
Nearly a year after the murders of Omar Williams, 25, and Kejuan Mays, 27, Aurora Police are renewing pleas for the public to help solve the case.
The double homicide occurred on Aug. 19, 2023 in an alley near the 2200 block of Galena Street in northwest Aurora.
Aurora firefighters were called to the alley that morning after residents reported an unresponsive man.
Aurora police investigator Sgt. Jeff Longnecker asks the public for information about the car murder victims Omar Williams and Dejuan Mays were seen in Aug. 13 before an unknown person drove away with it some after the two men were fatally shot in an Aurora alley. Longnecker was joined during the press conference at police headquarters Sept. 27, 2023 with Williams’ family members.
SENTINEL SCREEN GRAB
Upon arrival, they discovered the first victim, later identified as Omar Williams, who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.
A subsequent search of the area led investigators to a second victim, Kejuan Mays, who was also found dead from gunshot wounds a short distance away.
Investigators since then have determined that Mays and Williams had spent the previous night with friends in Downtown Denver. There were no indications of any altercations or disputes during that part of the evening.
The two men drove from Downtown in
Williams’ Dodge Journey, which later became a crucial piece of evidence in the investigation, police said.
Surveillance footage obtained by Aurora detectives shows the Dodge Journey leaving the alley where the murders took place. The car was later discovered abandoned Oct. 13 at an apartment complex near East Alameda Parkway and South Kittredge Street.
Despite the find, investigators have been unable to identify any suspects or determine the events leading up to the murders.
Investigations Chief Mark Hildebrand said police are frustrated by the lack of leads and asked for the public to reveal what happened.
“The Major Crime Homicide Unit has worked diligently on this case for the last year, but we’ve reached the point where we need the public’s help to advance the investigation,” Hildebrand said in a statement. “We know somebody out there has information about this case. At least one vehicle drove away from the scene, and that person has valuable information about what happened.”
The families of the victims, especially Mays’ parents, Alonso and Felishea Bradway, say they are desperately seeking closure. Mays, a father of a young son who turns 3 next month, was the oldest of four siblings. His mother, Felishea, made an emotional appeal for anyone with information to come forward, according to police spokesperson Joe Moylan.
“He was a great father, and now my son will never know what it’s like to raise his child” Felshia said in a police statement. “His brothers and sister will forever miss the person they looked up to. We just want closure. Somebody has the answers we’re looking for. Somebody knows what happened to my son.”
Metro Denver Crime Stoppers has increased the reward for information leading to an arrest from $2,000 to $4,500. Police said anyone with information can call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867. Tipsters can remain anonymous and still be eligible for a reward, police said.
AROUND AURORA
Arapahoe County asking how to create 2,800-acre rec area
Arapahoe County taxpayers in 2010 bought 2,800 acres of open space on the eastern plains south of Byers. Fourteen years later, the county government is inviting public input into how that property can best serve as a recreational area.
County officials say the masterplan for the Bijou Basin Open Space must have low impact on the land while “preserving and celebrating the property’s active agricultural uses, such as dry land farming and cattle grazing.” Options for the property include a multi-use trail system, parking at the trailhead, picnic areas and restrooms.
The county has arranged three ways the public may weigh in on those details:
An online Survey at surveymonkey.com/r/BijouBasinSurvey1 will be available through Sept. 30.
A booth where staffers will solicit input at Bennet Days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 in Trupp Park, 105 Palmer Avenue in Bennett.
And a public open house on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at the Kelver Library, 585 S. Main Street, Byers, between 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Located about five miles south of Byers at the junction of Quincy Avenue (CR30) and Bradbury Road (CR173), the land for the recreational area was purchased with funds from the county’s open space sales tax. It includes a 1,470-acre conservation easement held by the Colorado Cattlemen’s Agricultural Land Trust. The property is adjacent to patches of conservation land such as Mule Gulch Open Space and the West Bijou Ranch.

Sentinel Colorado wins 7 journalism honors among state’s largest news media
The Aurora Sentinel was honored with seven top journalism awards Aug. 24 as part of the Colorado Press Association’s annual contest.
“We’re honored that our peers recognize the hard work the Sentinel does in shining a fierce light on the community,” said Sentinel Editor and Publisher Dave Perry. “It’s not coincidence that some of journalism’s harshest critics are those who work to shun the transparency and accountability the media strives for.”
The awards for work in 2023 were presented during the Colorado Press Association’s 146th annual convention, this year at the Delta Hotel in Northglenn.
There are eight divisions in the state, roughly sorted by newsroom size. Despite its small staff, the Sentinel competes with the largest news organizations in Colorado, including the Denver Post, the Colorado Springs Gazette and the Colorado Sun.
This year’s awards included second-place honors for breaking news reporting during a volatile Oct. 23, 2023 protest at Aurora city hall over the Israeli-Gaza war, days after it broke out.
“Another outstanding example of a newsroom reacting and responding to a breaking news story with near-perfect execution,” judges said about the story.”Textbook.”
First place among the top division went to the Denver Post for their coverage of a shooting that injured 10 after the Denver Nuggets’ NBA Finals victory.
Sentinel reporter Carina Julig won first place in the Best News Story category for her emotional take-out about a former Aurora
council member’s journey to recovery after being brutally attacked while walking along an Aurora canal trail.
“By far the best lede in this category, and the rest of the piece delivered, too,” judges said about Julig’s enterprise. “Well-written story by someone who clearly gave it the time and care it deserved.”
Second place in the category went to the Colorado Springs Gazette for their story about the “Satanic Temple” in that community.
A special investigative series among reporters in residence at the Sentinel, staff writers and the Colorado News Collaborative won second place among the state’s largest news organizations for its work about police who are “Undisciplined.”
The four-part series focused on officers from Aurora and across the state caught violating police policy and even state law in a variety of instances, but able to avoid firing or serious consequences. In many instances, officers resigned before being fired and got jobs elsewhere in the state.
“It’s appalling that such a widely acknowledged problem can go on like this as though nothing can be done,” judges said about the investigative series. “This project makes the problem so clear that the reader can’t help but feel outrage.”
First place in the category went to the Colorado Sun and Chalkbeat Colorado for their investigation series on the dwindling number of facility schools for students with disabilities.
Sentinel Editor Dave Perry was honored for his humorous columns in that category, taking second-place this year. Judges highlighted a column about Perry lamenting to be the worst marital gift-giver on record.
“Dave Perry takes us on a fun journey that just about every man has taken — finding the perfect gift,” judges said.
First place in the category went to Colorado Springs Gazette writer Jennifer Mulson for “Bird calls,” about the weird mating rituals of male birds.
Colorado continuing free school lunches
this
year as lawmakers look for funding
Colorado is still offering free school meals this school year, even though the program has ended up costing more than state officials predicted.
While an advisory group tries to come up with long-term solutions that may mean changes in future school years, state lawmakers decided to continue funding the program in the short term, so the program won’t change for this school year.
Below are answers to some common questions people have about the program.
Are school meals free for all students this year again?
Yes, in districts that choose to participate in the state’s free school meals program. Districts have to sign up with the state. Last year, a majority of the districts in the state participated. This year, districts have until Sept. 16 to tell the state they’re opting in, so the state doesn’t yet know whether all districts, or fewer, will participate this year.
Large school districts including Denver, Jeffco, and Douglas County have indicated on their websites that they are offering free meals to all students again this school year.
Why is my child’s school telling me to fill out a form to see if I qualify for free or reduced-price lunch?
The state program kicks in money only after schools and districts have already received reimbursements from the federal government for the meals of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. So identifying students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals helps your school get money from the federal government first, helping state dollars go further.
state money to cover the shortfall, and also budgeted extra money to cover the program for this school year, while they figure out if changes will be made.
Is there still a chance the free school meal program will change?
Yes, but any changes would likely be for the next school year, 202526. The state has hired a consultant that is working with the new Healthy School Meals for All Technical Advisory Group. The group is tasked with identifying how to maximize the amount of money that comes in from federal reimbursements first, and how to reduce the cost of the program. It will develop options for lawmakers on how to make the program sustainable.
One organization that helped create the program in 2022 has considered the idea of a ballot measure, for example, to ask voters for more help to fund the program.
The advisory group began meeting in July and will have an update for lawmakers in September, with its final report and recommendations due in December.

Perry also received second-place honors this year for serious column writing for columns about abuse of force by police and about homelessness.
The Sentinel was also honored for crafting headlines, winning top honors in the category.
“The headlines for Sentinel Colorado stood out for creative wordsmithing in that their headlines didn’t stray from what the article was about,” judges said. A headline by reporter Max Levy about a pig won the dog in the category.
“SWINE OF THE TIMES: Aurora porker heads to the pen after 3 days on the ham,” about a wayward pig in the city.
There are other benefits as well. The state and districts sometimes allocate certain resources to schools based on how many students qualify for free or reduced-price meals, because it’s used as a measure of poverty.
And families who are identified as qualifying for those subsidized meals can become eligible for other benefits such as discounts on other school fees or other assistance.
Didn’t I hear that the state went over budget on these meals last year?
Green is being held in Arapahoe County jail in lieu of $2 million cash bond, according to county jail records. Court officials said the arrested affidavit in the case has been sealed by either police or prosecutors.
Police said on Sunday that Green “targeted” an unidentified man Saturday afternoon and fatally shot him on the shopping center sidewalk area on the northeast part of the complex, police said.
Officers were called to area at about 2 p.m. after reports of a shooting.
“When officers arrived, they found one adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” police said. “The individual was transported to the hospital where he died from his injuries shortly after.”
Green fled the scene and was later arrested, police said.
The Sentinel also received second-place honors for the Best News Website among competing news organizations. First place this year went to the Denver Post.
— SENTINEL STAFF
Yes. The program as it was approved by voters in 2022 is funded because the state got rid of a tax credit that used to save tax-filers money. By not allowing certain tax deductions for families who make more than $300,000, the state was able to collect new revenue to pay for the school meals.
But the state miscalculated how many students were going to eat free school meals. Since many more students than expected ate school meals, the cost of the program was higher than expected.
Lawmakers last year used other
“We believe this was a targeted event and the suspect and victim know each other,” police said in a statement.
“It started as an argument between the victim and suspect and it was not a random incident,” police spokesperson Sydney Edwards said in an email. “We are not looking for any other suspects at this time.”
The slain man’s identity will be released at a later time by coroner officials.

Boy, 17, driving in Aurora shot by motorcyclists
A 17-year-old boy told police two people on a motorcycle tailed him while he was driving in his car late Aug. 21 in west-central Aurora, eventually shooting at him and injuring him, according to Aurora police.
The boy said he was driving in the area of South Peoria Street near East Louisiana Avenue at about 11 p.m. when the shooting occurred.
“The victim told officers that two people were on a motorcycle and appeared to be following him,” Aurora police spokesperson Agent Matt Longshore said in a statement. “The victim said that one of the persons riding on a motorcycle shot him.”
The boy was taken to a local hospital and treated for what police described as serious injuries.
“Detectives are following up on leads but have not yet made any arrests,” Longshore said.

BEYOND AURORA
Colorado GOP chair Dave Williams dismisses his ouster as a ‘sham’
Colorado GOP Chairman Dave Williams, who has tried to push the state party to extremes, was ousted over the weekend in a vote that he called illegitimate, precipitating a leadership standoff as the November election looms.
William’s tenure as chair led to party infighting as he leaned into public attacks against fellow Republicans who didn’t fit his idea of ultraconservative or endorse his extreme tactics echoing those of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The fight mirrors a national split in the GOP between more traditional Republicans and a
more combative flank comprising politicians such as Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
It also shows the challenges that such extreme politics face in Colorado. Opposition to Williams’ methods grew as the party under his leadership endorsed certain Republican primary candidates over others, a move that state parties tend to avoid, at least publicly.
Williams is also accused of using state party resources to benefit his own failed congressional primary election bid, and was criticized for refusing to step down as party chair after joining the race. Emails and posts from the party attacking the LGBTQ community, including a call to burn pride flags, were also met with disappointment from some fellow Republicans.
The growing resistance culminated in Saturday’s vote, with a majority of the 180 or so state party central committee members, or their proxies, who were in attendance voting to oust him.
In a news release, the Colorado GOP called the meeting a “sham,” and said that a majority of the more than 400 member committee weren’t in attendance. Williams said they can only seek to remove officers at the upcoming Aug. 31 meeting.
“This fringe minority faction knows they cannot get their way in a fair meeting where the rules are fairly administered,” said Williams in a text message.
The conflict comes down to an interpretation of the bylaws, and the decision could end in the hands of the Republican National Committee. The National Republican Congressional Committee, which works to elect Republicans in the U.S. House, said it will recognize the vote and the newly elected leadership.
Williams said in a text that the NRCC has “no authority to do anything.”
While GOP chairman, Williams ran in a Republican primary race for the U.S. House seat in Colorado Springs, about an hour’s drive south of Denver. While he gained Trump’s attention and eventual endorsement, he lost to a more moderate Republican.

BOTTOM: Eaglecrest — which has a new head coach in Jesse German — has experience at the quarterback position in Joe Steiner (10), who helped the Raptors qualify for the 5A postseason last year.
The long wait for the return to the football field is over for local prep teams.
City squads take to the field for the first time starting Aug. 29, with optimism renewed and new coaching staffs and talent in various places.
The 2024 campaign follows in the footsteps of a season that was fantastic at the end, especially with the rare meeting of current city powers Grandview and Regis Jesuit in the second round of the Class 5A state playoffs.
Regis Jesuit finished 6-5 overall, but very nearly earned its way into the quarterfinals if not for Grandview’s last-second rally. The Raiders have by far Aurora’s longest tenured head coach in Danny Filleman, who is at the helm for a ninth straight season and has had a winning record and playoff appearances in all eight of his previous eight campaigns.
Coach Danny Filleman’s Regis Jesuit team — which is No. 6 in the CHSAA preseason poll — has plenty of skill players back as well and will need all of them as its schedule is loaded again.
The area’s other two 5A state playoff qualifiers last season were Eaglecrest and Cherokee Trail and both have reason to believe postseason returns will be possible.
Tackle time
Last season’s deepest run in the postseason came from Grandview, which advanced to the quarterfinals before it was stopped by Chatfield. To get there, coach Tom Doherty’s team won an epic showdown with Regis Jesuit that came down to an iconic touchdown pass from start quarterback Liam Szarka to running back Donovan Vernon, who made a leaping catch in the back of the end zone.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor
Szarka — one of the most dynamic quarterbacks the area has seen in a long time — graduated and moved along to the Air Force Academy, which will change the Wolves’ look dramatically. Grandview will turn to junior Blitz McCarthy under center and the 6-foot-1, 185-pounder will certainly have plenty to work with a slew of top skill players back and an extraordinary group of running backs. A defense that is “fast and fiery” in Doherty’s words should keep the Wolves — who come into the season ranked No. 9 in the Colorado High School Activities Association’s 5A coaches poll — a contender.
For the coach Justin Jajczyk’s Cougars, an experienced senior class (which includes standout lineman Cade Brook) is looking to push the program forward, while the Raptors experienced another coaching change in the offseason.
Jesse German became Eaglecrest’s fifth coach since 2017 when he came over from Green Mountain after Mike Schimitt left for his native Pennsylvania. German inherits a mix of veterans and a returning senior quarterback (Joe Steiner) plus some up-and-comers who should keep the Raptors very competitive as they get used to change.
New coaches will also be in place at Overland (Tony Lindsay Sr.) and Vista PEAK Prep (Mike Campbell) and both have track records of winning in the previous stops. The Trailblazers and Bison have talent that the veteran coaches hope to harness and channel in new ways.
Aurora Central will look to capitalize on its returning strength in the trenches — as will Rangeview and Smoky Hill — while Gateway will have some skill position players to replace and Hinkley hopes improved numbers will help on the field. All return the same head coaches.

City meet XC history
WHITE BECOMES GRANDVIEW’S FIRST BOYS CHAMPION AT MEET THAT IS MORE THAN 40 YEARS OLD, WHILE EAGLECREST GIRLS BREAK 23-YEAR TEAM DROUGHT
The Aurora City Championship cross country meet has been around for more than four decades and continues to make history.
A field that might have been the smallest in the history of the meet — which began back in 1981 — due to how it fell on the schedule and small numbers in some places saw new or rare feats in both the boys and girls races Aug. 22 at the Aurora Sports Park.
BY COURTNEY OAKES Sports Editor
On the boys side, Grandview has been a successful addition to the meet since it opened in 1998, but the Wolves — who won the boys team championship in four of the previous seven seasons — had never had an individual boys winner.
That changed with the performance of senior Colton White, who pulled away from the smallish field (with only five teams present) on the opening stretch and ran alone the entire way for a victory in 15 minutes, 58.5 seconds.
Teammates Evan Valencia and Josh Tobin were next to cross the finish line as coach Brian Manley’s Grandview team swept the top three positions.
White finished second behind graduated McKay Larsen of Cherokee Trail at last season’s city meet (which was run at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds), but without the Cougars, Regis Jesuit and others, there was nobody who could stick with him on this day. He was the lone runner to crack the 16-minute mark,
though he did not touch his PR of 15:21.90 set at last season’s Liberty Bell Invitational.
Valencia and Tobin were seventh and eighth at the city meet last season, so both made big rises in the standings.
Also making a big rise was Vista PEAK Prep sophomore Brandon Pearcy, who grabbed fourth place with a time of 17:40.60 that best his previous PR by three seconds. Pearcy was 35th in last season’s city meet. Rounding out the All-City first team — top seven — were Rangeview teammates Kimi Bulto and Abdinasir Hassan (5th and 6th, respectively) along with Eaglecrest’s Cody Campbell in 7th.
Colorado Springs.
Eaglecrest had previous girls city champions (the last Janine Taurchini in 2015), but sophomore Jenna Winn’s dominant run to this season’s title helped the Raptors accomplish something they hadn’t done in nearly a quarter center.
In weather conditions that gradually deteriorated during the race, Winn needed just a mile to take the lead and she was never threatened the rest of the way as she crossed the finish line in 21 minutes, 2.5 seconds.

Grandview became the ninth different area program to have a boys individual champion, as it joined Aurora Central (2), Cherokee Trail (3), Eaglecrest (3), Hinkley (1), Overland (4), Rangeview (4), Regis Jesuit (2) and Smoky Hill (11) with at least one winner since the meet began in 1981.
Four programs that ran in last season’s Aurora City Championship meet — Cherokee Trail, Lotus School For Excellence, Overland and Smoky Hill — did not compete this season, while Gateway, Hinkley and Regis Jesuit were also absent. Cherokee Trail instead competed in the Vista Nation 2-mile meet hosted by Mountain Vista, while Regis Jesuit appeared the next day in the Cheyenne Mountain Stampede, which was run on the state meet course
Coupled with a third-place result for sophomore Mia Silva and a sixthplace for freshman Jenna Hallman, the Raptors scored 29 points and won their first girls team championship at the meet since 2001 and only the second all-time. Silva made a big move forward from 2023, when she was 16th, as she ran a 21:34.40, while Hallman clocked a 22:34 in her first varsity race.
Grandview finished just seven points off the pace in a race that had only three full city squads (Rangeview rounded out the standings) as it sought to repeat. The Wolves had just one runner in the lineup that ran in last season’s city meet — senior Lillian Carll — but had three of the top five finishers. Sophomore Emme Hensler grabbed second place with a time of 21:21 and was followed by Carll (21:52.10) in fourth and sophomore Paige Jasinowski (22:26.70) in fifth.
Rangeview sophomore Aiden Schumacher secured the last All-City first team spot with a seventh-place finish with a time of 22:49.9.

CHIEF ARCHITECTURE
It’s taking a village to decide how to build the next Aurora police
police chief
BY SUSAN GREENE, Sentinel reporter in residence
One word keeps coming up since Aurora named former Los Angeles Police commander Todd Chamberlain its new police chief: stability.
Although there may be little else they all agree on, city officials, social justice advocates and police officers told the Sentinel this past week that what they most want from the new head of Aurora’s beleaguered police force is some staying power.
Chamberlain will be the department’s seventh chief in five years.
“Most importantly, we need a solid foundation of leadership, which we haven’t had in a minimum of 28 months. Consistency, continuity have been lacking,” said Marc Sears, a sergeant in the Aurora Police Department and president of the Fraternal Order of Police, one of two Aurora police unions.
Chamberlain, 61, comes on confident. He insists he’s “here to stay” and says the challenges APD faces are nothing he hasn’t already encountered in his 34 years in the LAPD.
Still, once he swears in Sept. 9, he will face the same conflicting pressures that torpedoed most of Aurora’s six previous chiefs and interim chiefs.
Chamberlain will be expected to meet the whims of an often divided and demanding council that has sent mixed messages about making meaningful changes in Aurora’s controversy-plagued police force. The majority of its members have defended APD in its long string of use-of-force cases and pushed against reform efforts required under a state order and championed by a large part of the Aurora community.
That state order, called a consent decree, was imposed in 2021 after an investigation by the Colorado attorney general into APD’s record. It found “patterns and practices” of excessive use of force, especially against people of color. The decree requires APD to mend its ways by 2027.
Concerned about ongoing turnover, Attorney General Phil Weiser last week called on Aurora to establish an independent office monitoring the police department’s adherence to reforms after the consent decree expires.
“A permanent structure for independent review of the police department would help ensure that reform, accountability, and transparency continue, and that the city is responsive to community concerns,” Weiser said.
Such a structure would have to be put in place by the city council, which is unlikely, given the group’s efforts to stall a previous nascent effort set out by a previous city manager, but never funded.
As Sears tells it, Chamberlain is a cop’s cop, “very disciplined, very militaristic kind of individual.”
“He’s fit, takes care of himself, he’s very proud, a very proud man,” he said. “That goes a long way, and I believe him when he says he has compassion for law enforcement.”
Still, the union president says he worries about “city council staying in their lane” when it comes to the new chief. Although the city charter specifically states that council members do not have the ability nor authority to direct police department operations, Sears says “they get overzealous sometimes” by trying to push policies and programs the force doesn’t have resources for.
As of this week, the department had 62 to 100 vacancies for officers, depending whether you count officers in its academy. Five of its officers are currently on paid administrative leave and under investigation.
“I need to have a chief that is going to push back on council sometimes and recognize that
certain ideas and ordinances and resolutions they have are just not feasible at this time,” Sears said. “They mean well, and they want the best. But the reality of how we attack situations, they have no idea about.”
In the community, Chamberlain faces skepticism among police reform and civil rights advocates because city officials announced his appointment on Aug. 21 without a public vetting process. Some have questioned why he would want a job in a city without first meeting with residents beyond just elected officials and police. Some also have been critical of a comment he made at a news conference last week that “Use of forces are still going to happen” under his leadership.
“A lot of people don’t want that, but there’s a lot of times that that has to happen… and I’m sorry, but that’s an unfortunate reality…in law enforcement,” he said.
Aurora resident Aaron Futrell told council members Monday that uses of force do not need to be inevitable. He also criticized Chamberlain for not attending the public meeting during which the council voted 8-2 to ratify his appointment to the $250,000 a year job. Members Rubin Medina and Crystal Murillo cast the dissenting votes.
“Where is he tonight…?” Futrell asked about Chamberlain, whom a city spokesman said wasn’t expected at the meeting because he was home in Los Angeles and hasn’t moved here yet. “If this man can’t show up tonight, how can he show up for community in the future?”
Qusair Mohamedbhai, a Denver civil rights lawyer who has represented a number of APD officers’ excessive use-of-force victims, agrees that Chamberlain is “starting off with a big deficit.”
“Everything is about community engagement and buy-in, and when you have a police chief who was selected with little to no engagement, I think that chief will spend a lot of time trying to make up for it. We’ll have a chief who can’t hit the ground running on day one, but will be met with a lot of suspicion.”
At every city council meeting since June 24, social justice activists have renounced the May 23 shooting of Kilyn Lewis, an unarmed Black man shot by Aurora SWAT Officer Michael Dieck during his arrest on May 23. Lewis, 37, died two days later from his wounds.
Meeting after meeting, members of Lewis’s family and empathetic protesters have lined up to demand council members force law enforcement to speed up their investigation, fire Dieck — who is on paid leave during the probe — and criminally charge him for Lewis’ killing.
The investigation is out of the hands of the city council and even the police department. Officer involved shooting investigations are handled by outside Critical Incident Response Team, in this case comprising 18th Judicial District prosecutors and the Arapahoe County Sheriff Department.
The council, visibly uncomfortable with some of the remarks aimed at its members, for more than a month opted to meet beyond closed doors and televise part of its meetings to avoid the protesters’ name-calling and chanting “shame on you” and “vote them out.”
On Aug. 12, an activist asked council members to stand if they think Lewis should still be alive. Most of them did. At the next council meeting on Aug. 26, the same activist made the same request. Only three council members stood. Several in the crowd of protesters saw the remaining members’ unwillingness to stand again as proof that they don’t or won’t see excessive use-of-force as an ongoing problem that deserves their sustained attention.
Chamberlain worked for the LAPD from 1984 through 2018, when he retired as a commander who oversaw about 1,800 people across six divisions in that department. Crit-
ics in Aurora point out that his tenure in LAPD coincided with similar accusations against that department involving excessive force cases, racial profiling controversies and a laundry list of police scandals. Los Angeles was under a similar consent decree for more than a decade, ending in 2013.
After retiring from LAPD, Chamberlain worked as Chief of Police for the Los Angeles Unified School District (LASPD) and, more recently, as a public-safety consultant and a lecturer at California State University Los Angeles.
When speaking to reporters last week, he emphasized that he has worked in diverse communities similar to Aurora.
He also said he is familiar with and skilled at handling situations when policing “doesn’t go right, when things aren’t done correctly.” He noted his work auditing excessive use-offorce cases, investigating how those incidents happened, who were the officers involved, who were the kinds of people officers tended to use force on, and how the outcome could have been different.
“That accountability component is something that I truly believe in,” he said, without mentioning anything about reforming the way wayward officers are disciplined or fired. His focus as a police leader, he said, is “not just an issue of was the officer right or wasn’t wrong, but it’s really a question of, again, what could we do to make sure that this doesn’t happen again.”
He touted that he has been “at the forefront” of de-escalation training, teaching officers how to speak to potential suspects and exercise patience with them. “All of those things are things that I have honed, in general in my career, and they’re all things that I’m really enthusiastically looking forward to bringing in the city.”
To questions about a recent influx of Venezuelan migrants to Aurora, and with it unverified reports about presence of gangs, Chamberlain stressed the need to earn trust among the recent arrivals – among others in the community – to report crime.
Part of that trust-building will, by most accounts, lie in whether officers in APD racially and ethnically reflect the demographics in Aurora. Although the department has made some progress toward that goal, it is still a long way off. As of May, more than 72% of officers were white in a city whose population is made up of 51% people of color.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s in the city of Los Angeles. It doesn’t matter if it’s the city of Aurora. The most important part to me is that everybody feels that they can come to a police officer.”

Fall into better health
AS THE COLD, SCHOOL, COVID AND FLU SEASON GEARS UP, SOME NOTES FROM EXPERTS ON STAYING HEALTHY THIS FALL
— LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer
With days still relatively long and the mercury high, it’s hard to think about healthy habits and precautions despite school coming back and crowds headed indoors.
Here are three things to keep in mind over the next few weeks and months.
FDA approves updated COVID-19 vaccines, shots should be available in days
U.S. regulators approved updated COVID-19 vaccines last week, shots designed to more closely target recent virus strains -- and hopefully whatever variants cause trouble this winter, too.
With the Food and Drug Administration’s clearance, Pfizer and Moderna are set to begin shipping millions of doses. A third U.S. manufacturer, Novavax, expects its modified vaccine version to be available a little later.
“We strongly encourage those who are eligible to consider receiving an updated COVID-19 vaccine to provide better protection against currently circulating variants,” said FDA vaccine chief Dr. Peter Marks.
The agency’s decision came a bit earlier than last year’s rollout of updated COVID-19 vaccines, as a summer wave of the virus continues in most of the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention already has recommended this
fall’s shot for everyone age 6 months and older. Vaccinations could be available within days.
While most Americans have some degree of immunity from prior infections or vaccinations or both, that protection wanes. Last fall’s shots targeted a different part of the coronavirus family tree, a strain that’s no longer circulating -- and CDC data shows only about 22.5% of adults and 14% of children received it.
Skipping the new shot is “a hazardous way to go,” because even if your last infection was mild, your next might be worse or leave you with long COVID symptoms, said Dr. Robert Hopkins Jr. of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
This fall’s vaccine recipe is tailored to a newer branch of omicron descendants. The Pfizer and Moderna shots target a subtype called KP.2 that was common earlier this year. While additional offshoots, particularly KP.3.1.1, now are spreading, they’re closely enough related that the vaccines promise cross-protection. A Pfizer spokesman said the company submitted data to FDA showing its updated vaccine “generates a substantially improved response” against multiple virus subtypes compared to last fall’s vaccine.
The big question: How soon to get vaccinated? This summer’s wave of COVID-19 isn’t over but the inevitable winter surges tend to be worse. And while COVID-19 vaccines do a good job preventing severe disease, hospitalization and death, protection against mild infection lasts only a few months.
People who are at high risk from the virus shouldn’t wait but instead schedule vaccinations once shots are available in their area, Hopkins advised.
That includes older adults, people with weak immune systems or other serious medical problems, nursing home residents and pregnant women.
Healthy younger adults and children “can get vaccinated anytime. I don’t think there’s a real reason to wait,” Hopkins said – although it’s OK to seek the shots in the fall, when plenty of doses will have arrived at pharmacies and doctor’s offices.
The exception: The CDC says anyone who recently had COVID-19 can wait three months after they recover before getting vaccinated, until immunity from that infection begins to wane.
Hopkins, who sees patients at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, calls it vital for more youngsters to get vaccinated this year – especially with schools starting as coronavirus levels are high around the country.
“COVID does not kill many children, thank goodness, but it kills far more children than influenza does,” Hopkins said, adding that teachers, too, should quickly get up to date with the vaccine.

Health authorities say it’s fine to get a COVID-19 and flu vaccination at the same time, a convenience so people don’t have to make two trips. But while many drugstores already are advertising flu shots, the prime time for that vaccination tends to be late September through October, just before flu typically starts its cold weather climb.
Government announces more COVID-19 tests can be ordered through mail for no cost
On the heels of a summer wave of COVID-19 cases, Americans will be able to get free virus test kits mailed to their homes, starting in late September.
U.S. households will be able to order up to four COVID-19 nasal swab tests when the federal program reopens, according to the website, COVIDtests.gov.
The U.S. Health and Human Services agency that oversees the testing has not announced an exact date for ordering to begin.
The tests will detect current virus strains and can be ordered ahead of the holiday season when family and friends gather for celebrations, an HHS spokesperson said in an emailed statement. Over-the-counter COVID-19 at-home tests typically cost around $11, as of last year.
The announcement also comes as the government is once again urging people to get an updated COVID-19 booster, ahead of the fall and winter respiratory virus season.
The Biden administration has given out 1.8 billion COVID-19 tests, including half distributed to households by mail. It’s unclear how many tests the feds have on hand.
Tens of billions of tax-payer dollars have been used to develop COVID-19 tests, vaccines and treatments.
Although deaths and serious infections have dropped dramatically since COVID-19 started its U.S. spread in 2020, hospitalizations have started to slightly creep up in recent weeks. In total, more than 1 million Americans have died from the virus.

Anthony Quinn: What am I? ¿Qué soy?
Museo de las Americas is set to debut “Anthony Quinn: What am I? ¿Qué soy?” This pop-up exhibition, curated by Yolanda Fauvet, explores the life and artistry of Anthony Quinn, the first Mexican-American to win an Academy Award and a prolific visual artist.
The exhibition’s title refers to a pivotal moment in Quinn’s childhood when he questioned his identity, sparking a lifelong dialogue about his dual heritage. Curator Fauvet noted, “Quinn had an ongoing dialogue with the labels being given to him as compared to his own relationship to his dual nationalities.” Fauvet finds this exploration relevant today, inspiring more inclusive conversations about identity.
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, Quinn’s heritage is a recurring theme in his work. The exhibition features self-portraits and pieces from Quinn’s Tribal Series, reflecting influences from Plains Indian cultures. Museo’s Executive Director, Claudia Moran, highlighted Quinn’s ability to navigate both acting and visual arts, stating, “The artistic wealth of Anthony Quinn invites us to reflect on the adaptations we constantly undergo to fit into predetermined social models.”
“Anthony Quinn: What am I? ¿Qué soy?” showcases the artist’s skill in various mediums, from paint to sculpture, emphasizing his storytelling prowess and deep exploration of identity. The exhibition touts profound insights into Quinn’s dynamic relationship with his heritage and his art.

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.

Biophilia: Nature Reimagined
Biophilia: Nature Reimagined brings together more than 70 imaginative works, including architectural models and photographs, objects, fashion, digital installations, and immersive art experiences that collectively highlight the transformative power of nature.
“Biophilia” is a term popularized by American biologist and author Edward O. Wilson to describe his theory that, as humans have evolved as a species, they have been intricately intertwined with the natural world. Wilson’s hypothesis invites deep reflection and poses relevant questions for audiences to consider life in our hyper-accelerated digital and urban-centric world. Organized by Darrin Alfred, Curator of Architecture and Design, Biophilia provides a space for leading architects, artists, and designers to re-examine and reanimate our intrinsic bond with the natural world.
