the development proposal for a 395-unit residential complex on a site stretching southeast from West Oxford Avenue and South Navajo Street, where the former Sam’s Automotive business was located.  Embrey Partners, the proposed developer, applied to build 361 apartment units in a four-story building and 34 rental townhomes in seven three-story buildings.

e Englewood City Council approved the proposed development earlier this year through a series of votes, given that the developers had to go through a planned unit development (PUD) application process to facilitate a rezoning of the property.

en, residents Williams and Kozacek, who live near the site, initiated a referendum. ey cited infrastructure issues that they felt were not considered and asked for studies regarding tra c density, noise quality, air quality and soil contamination on the site. ey circulated a petition stating those who signed it were protesting the ordinance that approved the development.

It stated, “By signing this petition, you are protesting this ordinance going into e ect and — if su cient signatures are obtained — causing Englewood City Council to reconsider this ordinance, by either repealing it in full or calling a special election to submit it to a vote of the electors of this city.”

e petition needed at least 1,466 valid signatures of Englewood registered electors by May 4.

Initially, the city clerk rejected 254 of the 1,747 signatures, leaving 1,493 valid signatures. e city announced in a June 6 news release that the petition was “valid and su cient.”

Afterward, resident David Lee Carroll — with the support of the developer — led a protest against the referendum petition, claiming the city clerk’s o ce was incorrect and the petition got fewer than the required 1,466 valid signatures.

To make a determination of the validity of the petition, a public hearing was set for June 23.

“ e party protesting the clerk’s ndings concerning su ciency of signatures carries the burden of proving speci c signatures are insu cient by preponderance of the evidence,” said Brown, the hearing o cer.

“Evidence will be presented by the protester, Mr. Carroll, through his counsel. ey will call witnesses to testify under oath,” she added. “ is process does not provide for the testimony of proponents or the presentation of evidence by the city.”

Law firm explains why it views petition as invalid

Carroll did not speak during the public hearing. Instead, his legal representation through the Otten Johnson law rm presented the case arguing that the petition did not get enough valid signatures.

Carroll’s attorney, Andrew L. W. Peters, previously said via email that developer Embrey Partners is paying for the representation.

“Even though it’s Embrey’s project at stake, the law requires a registered voter to le a protest. David has been a long-time champion of Embrey’s project, so he volunteered to take on that role,” Peters wrote on June 22.

One of the rst witnesses Peters called to testify at the hearing was Christina Hinton, a paralegal for the Otten Johnson law rm.

Hinton said she reviewed signatures on the referendum petition and noted which signatures she felt were invalid and why.

Her allegations for invalidating signatures included that the person who signed was not a registered voter in Englewood, the address or date was not properly lled out, and the middle initial of the person who signed did not match the middle initial on the registered voter list.

If there were two signatures from the same person on the same date, Hinton said both signatures should be deemed invalid. If there was a

SINKHOLE STREET: What’s caused so many collapses along Oxford Avenue?

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

e sinkhole that opened on Oxford Avenue on June 22 happened on the same stretch of roadway where at least ve other sinkholes have occurred since 2015, according to the City of Englewood.

City sta said more investigation is necessary before they can determine the cause of the most recent sinkhole, but they do not believe the failure was related to the previous sinkholes in the area.

“We really need to know and understand what the issue is at the current sinkhole to understand what’s going on in the area, if anything,” Public Works Director Victor Rachael said.

e current leading hypothesis about the cause of the recent hole leads the city to believe that the various failures have been unrelated, he added.

With the recent sinkhole happening east of Santa Fe Drive just inside Englewood and most of the others west of it, the road failures have been split between the cities

But because the Oxford Avenue storm pipes running from South Windermere Street/South Navajo Street to the South Platte River carry Englewood stormwater, e City of Englewood maintains them in both cities.

City Manager Shawn Lewis said approximately 11,500 vehicles drive on Oxford Avenue daily.

impact on many of our residents, residents that are visiting our city and we know that these are inconveniences … for drivers,” he said at a June 26 study session.

What caused the sinkhole?

In 2019, the storm pipe under Oxford Avenue was deemed safe during an inspection, Rachael said.

e city’s contractor, which started working to repair the sinkhole on June 23, is trying to gure out why the pipe failed — especially considering its recent inspection.

In the study session, Rachael said the leading theory is that an “unrestrained joint” caused the sinkhole.

When a uid ows through a rigid pipe at a bend, the force puts pressure on the

pipe, Rachael explained in an interview with the Englewood Herald. A “restrained” pipe has a block or restraint on the other side of the bend, often in the form of a manhole, to help absorb the force and prevent the pipe from breaking.

If there is no restraint, however, the pipe is at risk when large quantities of stormwater ow through it.

During the June 22 storm, the area received approximately 1.2 inches of rain in a 40-minute time period, according to a rain gauge in Rotolo Park, Rachael said.

“ ere were several 45-degree angle turns without restraining (in the storm pipe),” he said. “So without blocking, restraining or a manhole, those are susceptible unfortunately — under large events — to additional strain. And once a small seam breaks, then you start to get the sinkhole action where soil lique es and pulls back into the pipe.”

Rachael said it’s hard to know for sure why the pipe would not have been restrained at that section, but

Western Welcome Week sees slow sponsorships

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With Western Welcome Week just over a month away, sponsors have been slower to sign up to support the event than they have been in recent years.

But as the event approaches, Executive Director Cindy Hathaway maintains hope that community support will show up as it always has.

e weeklong celebration is one of Littleton’s oldest and most wellloved traditions, which includes a pancake breakfast, silent auction, grand parade, duck race and many other events.

e 95th Western Welcome Week will take place Aug. 11 through 20 in locations throughout Littleton.

Why have sponsorships been slow?

e Western Welcome Week team is aiming this year to gather approximately $60,000 from sponsorships, Hathaway said. As of late June, they were over halfway to their goal, with more than $35,000 in secured sponsorships.

She said that most years, the organization hits their sponsorship goal in July.

Hathaway, who has faced some health challenges since last year’s celebration, said she thinks part of the challenge in nding sponsor-

ships has been due to rumors that the event is not happening. She said she has explained to many longtime sponsors that the event is still on, despite the health challenges she faced.

“I’m not the only one of Western Welcome Week,” she said. “Granted, I am the executive director and I’m the only paid employee, but we have a whole board. And they’ve been working and have really stepped up and helped out this year with my illness.”

In addition, she said, each year the organization faces the fact that there is an increasing number of causes for companies to put their money toward.

“ ere’s only so many dollars that can go around,” she said. “We’ve had a couple sponsors that have lowered their sponsorship because they also want to sponsor some other things. And that’s understandable, but it’s di cult when everybody is vying for those same dollars.”

Even with lower sponsorships at this point, Hathaway said she does not think the team is far from reaching its goal.

“Sometimes I get that phone call, out of the blue, ‘I’m XYZ business and I want to be a grand sponsor,’” she said. “You never know, that could happen. And so I always tell the board, ‘Don’t get real nervous at this point. Let’s wait and see.’”

Hathaway added that paid events also sometimes bring in more revenue than anticipated, such as the silent auction and the ticketed Taste of Western Welcome Week and pancake breakfast. In addition to sponsorships, these funds can help the organization reach its ultimate goal, she said.

Goodbye reworks, hello laser show

Western Welcome Week fans may notice some changes when looking at the schedule of events for this year’s celebration.

e most signi cant change is the replacement of the traditional reworks show with a laser show in Sterne Park.

Hathaway said there are several reasons for this change.

“I would say the biggest one on our end is the cost (of reworks),” she said. “It just continues to increase and since COVID, it’s more than doubled. And trying to get those kinds of sponsors to come in is very di cult.”

Knowing that some community members will be upset with the change, Hathaway noted that there are some bene ts to a laser show over reworks. She said organizers have received complaints in the past about reworks being too loud and late and bothering pets.

at said, she knows it will still be a

loss for some.

“I’ve been involved doing Western Welcome Week now for 22 years and to not have the reworks is tough, but understandable,” she said. “I would hope that the community would support it.”

She added that there are exciting new aspects to the laser show, which will be put on by a visual e ects company called Dynamic FX.

“I’m excited because it’s new, it’s di erent,” she said about the show, adding that it’s also about 20 minutes longer than the old reworks show. “It’s choreographed to music and they have hundreds of color combinations.”

Other events is will also be the rst year in seven years without the O’Toole’s Garden Center Open House, which usually contributed to Western Welcome Week with a car show and cookout. e absence of this event is due to the 2022 closure of Littleton’s O’Toole’s Garden Center, which saddened many in the community.

Antique automobile bu s can still get their ll of cool cars at the 14th Littleton Elks Car Show, a Western Welcome Week event taking place on Aug. 13.

Clerk receives petition to recall Cheryl Wink

Englewood councilmember draws scrutiny over attendance, density plan

A petition to recall At Large Englewood Councilmember Cheryl Wink was submitted to the city clerk on June 27.

According to City Clerk Stephanie Carlile, the city’s deadline to determine the validity of the petition is Wednesday, July 5.

“[A total of] 1,426 valid signatures are needed to determine suciency,” Carlile said in an email June 29.  If that bar is met and there is no successful protest of the petition, Wink would be subject to a recall election.

Wink, who was elected to o ce in 2017 and reelected in 2021, is one of four councilmembers facing potential recall, including Mayor Othoniel Sierra, District 2 Councilmember Chelsea Nunnenkamp and District 3 Councilmember Joe Anderson.

Earlier in June, recall petitions targeting Nunnenkamp and Sierra cleared the signature bar, with the Nunnenkamp petition needing 342 valid signatures and the Sierra petition needing 458 valid signatures.

Carlile said that as of the morning of June 29, a petition seeking the recall of Anderson had not been submitted.

“ e deadline to submit a petition is ursday, July 6 by 5 p.m. and 583 valid signatures are needed to determine su ciency,” she said in an email regarding the Anderson petition.

e recall e orts toward the four

councilmembers began over their consideration of a proposal to allow multifamily residences into singlefamily zoning areas.

e multifamily proposal has been shelved as the city prepares to create an a ordable housing task force. Wink is under additional scrutiny for her attendance record at city meetings.

e City of Englewood’s Rules and Regulations for Recall Elections states there is a 15-day protest period for petitions, during which any registered elector with the ability to vote for a successor to the o cial can le a written protest statement with the city clerk, which must include clear reasons for the opposition of the recall petition.

“ e City Clerk will promptly mail a copy of the protest to the committee and the o cial, together with a notice of hearing on the protest,” the

document reads. “ e hearing will be held within ve days after the ling of the protest, and the protestor, the committee and the o cial shall all have the opportunity to be heard and present evidence.”

According to the document, the burden of proof falls onto the protestors as they must prove that an element or elements of the recall petition are in violation of the mandated standards.

“If multiple protests are led, the city clerk may consolidate all protests into one hearing,” the document states. “Based on the evidence and testimony presented at the hearing, the city clerk will determine whether the petition meets

Summer reading program bridges gaps

BY SHEA VANCE SVANCE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

With schools quiet for the summer, Littleton’s Bemis Library kicks o its busiest months of the year.

Between May and July, the library’s annual Summer Reading Program encourages children, teens, and adults to keep their minds active, hosting story time, trivia, book sales, performances.

“It’s just encouraging families to read together, to do activities together, just to provide a sense of community,” said Val Fetters, the Bemis children’s division supervisor.

Fetters has managed the Summer Reading Program at Bemis for 17 years.

One of the program’s events is the “Books and Blankets Story Time,” which runs four times each week on Wednesdays and ursdays. On the lawn in front of the library, families enjoy sunshine (weather permitting) while the kids hear stories, dance, sing, and play.

Donna Stephenson, a children’s librarian at Bemis, runs Books and Blankets, and appreciates the program not just for the community it fosters, but for the educational bene ts it provides to kids on sum-

mer break.

“It keeps them reading throughout the summer so they don’t have what’s called the ‘summer slide,’ where they lose all the things that they learned without doing reading over those months,” Stephenson said. “I think it also helps families that have young children, because there’s lots of things they can do that are pre-reading skills that get them ready for school.”

During a Books and Blankets session on June 21, Stephenson made sure to engage the kids beyond simply reading to them, tying props and music into the stories.

Although some of the kids are still too young to pick up their own books, several Books and Blankets attendees rushed into the library after story time was nished, hoping to redeem their summer reading logs for prizes, browse the kids section, or hang out with their library friends.

Katy Johnson has been bringing her kids to Books and Blankets since her oldest, who is now 6, was a baby. Her oldest son can read, but she thinks the program is important for her younger kids, too.

“For the little ones, it’s important to

learn how to follow directions and be with other kids,” Johnson said. “And then as they’ve gotten older, I see how it’s built some of their literacy skills.”

Fetters thinks the program — even for the younger children — is good for families and communities.

“For the younger kids, they don’t have to read on their own, they can

Englewood o ers grants to help repair damage from June 22 storm

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Englewood Community Development Department is offering a Storm Assistance Grant to homeowners impacted by the severe storm on June 22.

According to Brad Power, Englewood’s director of community development, the weather events on June 22 caused damage to properties in the community.

The Storm Assistance Grant, which offers a maximum of $5,000 reimbursement for repairs, was launched on June  26.

On June 27, Power explained the Community Development Department decided to remove the income requirement previously listed as a qualification for the grant.

“It’s open to everyone,” he said. “However, it does have some stipulations. It has to be used for the type of damage that’s not

covered by insurance.”

According to the city’s website, approved work items for damage related to the June 22 storm includes repair or replacement of windows, awnings, and screen doors, repair or replacement of roofs, gutters and other exterior elements, drywall repair, repair or replacement of flooring, electrical work, repair or replacement of furnace and hot water heater, water removal costs and tree removal.

Repair to personal property, lodging and meals if forced to leave the home are not eligible expenses, according to grant requirements.

“The one thing that we did stipulate to people that are utilizing [the grant] is that anything that they would have to do would have to be completed by the end of the year,” Power said. “We need to see proof of actual work that

was done by somebody to qualify for the reimbursement.”

Building inspectors discovered most of the damage in Englewood is flood related Power stated.

“There is not a lot of structural impact, at least in Englewood. A lot of that structural impact was farther south from trees falling onto properties,” Power said. “Most of the impact that was here was water in basements and that type of thing.”

During the June 26 Englewood City Council study session, City Manager Shawn Lewis said some residents reported between a quarter to two inches of water in their homes.

“The number one concern is always the impact on our residents,” Lewis said at the meeting. Power explained the grant might be used for flood damage repair such

as drying out excess water and cleaning up an impacted area.

Those who apply for the grant have until Dec. 31 to complete repairs and must provide proof of the work.

The city’s website states homeowners also need to submit a complete application, provide an itemized list of all storm-related expenses and confirm those expenses are not covered by insurance.

The Storm Assistance grant is modeled from the city’s Home Repair Improvement Plan, which Power said does have an income requirement under its qualifications. It can also be accessed yearround while the Storm Assistance Grant is only accessible through Dec. 31.

Power said Englewood is drawing money from a former closed out housing fund to provide both grants.

No one has applied for the Storm Assistance Grant yet, but Power said the city will leave it up for a while.

Power said the city plans to take steps to address flood damage in the future.

“The one thing that we can think of in terms of the income qualified grant is adding flood protection type of improvements to the eligibility of the Home Repair Improvement Program,” he said. “We could add that type of protection to the eligible expenses under that grant and that’s probably something we’ll move forward with soon.”

Additionally, Lewis said he and his staff plan to find potential methods to prevent flood damage and will bring those ideas to the city council.

Staying in the loop

When the topic of a school district keeping parents out of the loop about their children rst started coming up two years ago – I didn’t give it much thought. I believed if the school is going to send a note home or call when they administer a small dose of Tylenol, then they surely would notify me of other, more serious issues.

Recently, the Douglas County School District took up the issue of pronouns and parent involvement. While I disagree with ignoring a student’s preferred pronouns – I am OK with the idea of communicating with parents.

A lot of the debate has come as more students are going by di erent pronouns or considering a gender transition. In 2022, a New York Times article said, “Educators are facing wrenching new tensions over whether they should tell parents when students socially transition at school.”

In the article, a parent told a story about her female student identifying as a male student only at school — writing a di erent name on homework assignments, having teachers use he/him pronouns.

e mother in this instance asked the school how they could be doing this without at least letting her know. According to the article, the school counselor said because the student did not want his parents to know, the district and state policies instructed the school to respect his wishes.

For students, it can be a confusing time and they can be struggling with their identities. Being able to turn to someone at school such as a counselor is important. However, gender identity is a serious topic and if a student is considering it, there should be a well-rounded supportive circle, which means keeping parents in the loop.

I cannot see how it is healthy to encourage a student to be one person at school and another at home. at would be both mentally and

physically exhausting for a teenager already questioning their identity. Should a school counselor be encouraging a student to move forward with changing their gender? What if that student is 12? Should they decide parents are not to be part of such a major life change?

As a parent, I have my concerns. School counselors are important for our students to turn to. However, at some point, the student has to go home. e student will leave or move on from that school. Should the parent have the tools needed to help the student with life’s transitions with a full picture of what their children are thinking and feeling?

I am becoming more concerned with the power school administrators, boards and counselors think they have over our children. at goes both ways. I think some districts are getting too extreme on both sides of the debate.

e school district trying to take away student rights such as the use of preferred pronouns is not OK. However, encouraging the student to be deceitful while honoring a secret life at school knowing they are living another at home is not healthy for the student or family.

I have three children — ages 17, 9, and 6. If one of my children is having an identity crisis, struggling, or questioning who they are — I am ne with them turning to a school counselor. What I am not ne with is that counselor agreeing to secrecy.

If my child were to go to the counselor rst due to not quite knowing how to tell me something — I still need to know. e school counselor spends a total of a few hours with my children. I live with them. I know them, and their father and I are the ones who need to help guide them in making choices that t their needs currently and in the future. Keeping adults in their lives in the dark is a trend I will never sign o on.  I know some parents may not have what society views as the “right” reaction to some of these tough topics, but they cannot be disregarded.

Moving at a snail’s pace

Sometimes we just have to laugh at ourselves, right? Or is it that sometimes we just have to laugh with ourselves? I am not laughing at you; I am laughing with you kind of thinking as we look in the mirror. My laughing at myself moment came the other day while I was traveling. I had boarded my ight and was checking my email on my phone before we took o . As I tried loading my email app, it took about 8 seconds. And in those 8 seconds I became frustrated and thought why is this taking so long? Cue the laughing at myself.

Each year as technology advances our need for speed seems to advance with it. We want information and we want it now. We not only want it now, but we also expect the information to be fed to us before we even have to think about it, we train the technology to understand what we like and want before we ever even have to search for it, we simply turn on our device and lo and behold there it is waiting for us to consume it.

In a recent meeting with a part-

ner, they were discussing how their technology could serve up information in real time, measuring response times in milliseconds. Again, we have become a culture that has a need for speed, instant grati cation.

As I came across a snail the other day, I watched it move slowly across the pavement. And I found myself fascinated by the slow and deliberate pace of the snail. I know it is a snail and snails aren’t equipped to move any faster, so they have to settle for the slow pace at which they move. It took the snail ve minute or so to cross the pavement and move into the grass. Just ve minutes, which for us could now feel like an eternity. So in that moment I re ected on my own need for speed. Although I can’t slow down advancements in technology that are designed to speed things up, nor can I or should I worry about others and their need for speed, I can decide when it’s time to slow things down for myself. Can my walks along the shoreline be a little slower so I can appreciate the sounds of the waves lapping against the sand, taking in the salt air, and maybe nding a unique shell or piece of sea glass? Can my hikes in the mountains be slowed down just a bit so I can take in the

HEARING

duplicate signature from two different days, then the signature with the earlier date should be considered valid and the second signature should be invalid, she said.

Out of the 1,747 signatures on the petition, Hinton identi ed 302 signatures she felt should be deemed invalid, she said.

Peters noted additional signatures he feels should be considered invalid, claiming he found evidence that suggests some of the signed petition packets had been disassembled, which he said is not permitted.

Another witness Peters called was omas Riley, a forensic document examiner from Michigan, to testify about his analysis of the handwriting on some of the petition packets.

Riley went over di erent sections of the petition that he believes may have been lled out by one person on behalf of another, such as lling out the address and the rst and last name of a person.

Peters called upon four Englewood residents who circulated referendum petitions to testify: Gary Kozacek, George Blackert, Kathleen Bailey and Kelly McCloskey.

Peters noted that the circulators signed an a davit that states they have read and understand the laws governing the circulation of a petition.

Peters asked the residents if they had read certain legal documents such as statutory provisions pertaining to the circulation of a petition. If they responded no, then he would assert that it was incorrect when they signed and claimed they had read and understood the laws.

In his closing argument, Peters said, “ e sworn statements of Mr. Kozacek’s a davit and along with the a davits of other circulators, with the exception of Ms. Bailey, reveal that when they signed those statements that they did not, in fact, have a good understanding or (a) complete understanding of the laws governing the circulation of petitions.”

“ e evidence presented con rms that (the) petition does not include 1,466 valid signatures,” he added.  Residents express concerns, frustrations about the hearing

Toward the beginning of the hearing, petitioner Williams said he had a preliminary issue regarding the jurisdiction of the hearing.

“ e protest form submitted … is not protected because it’s not completely lled out,” he said.

Williams explained that the copy of the protest form he received did not include a signature from the city clerk nor the date/time that the protest was led with the clerk.  Brown, the hearing o cer, asked if Williams had submitted anything in writing to the city clerk’s o ce regarding his objection to the protest form.

Williams said he spoke with the city attorney about the objection but did not submit anything in writing.

Brown said she would not nd that she did not have jurisdiction to hear the matter.

“Any challenge would have been required to be made prior to the date and time of (the) hearing,” Brown said. “I’ll take this under advisement.”

Peters called Carlile, the city clerk, to testify on the matter. Carlile said she received the protest form in a timely manner on June 13.

In an email, Carlile explained that she received the protest form both digitally and in person.

She wrote that the hard copy of the protest form “was timely hand delivered on June 13, 2023.”

“ is is the document that I signed as received,” Carlile wrote about the hard copy.

“ e protest documents were also emailed to me on June 13, (and) those electronic documents are the ones I forwarded to the proponents, protester, and city sta to notify them of the protest,” she added.

Following the public hearing, Williams and fellow petitioner Kozacek expressed frustration that they were not able to defend themselves against accusations made.

“We expected this to be a di erent type of situation, where we’d be able … to refute what they’re saying,” Williams said.

Williams and Kozacek were able to submit two documents as evidence during the hearing. Williams said one document was an a davit from a notary who did most of the notarizing of the petition packets and the second was a letter from another notary “to cover certain signatures.”

“And clarifying that all the packets were in order … (and) intact,” Kozacek added.

Kelly McCloskey said she spent a month walking in the streets of Englewood, knocking on doors to collect signatures for the referendum petition.

“ is is important to our city,” McCloskey said. “I put my life on hold to make sure this was taken care of.”

Williams and Kozacek raised concerns that if the hearing o cer rules that the city clerk’s o ce was incorrect and the referendum petition is invalid, it would “disenfranchise 1,700 people that signed the petition that don’t want this,” Williams said, referring to the proposed development.

The hearing o cer’s findings

In her ruling, Brown said that a “long list” of petition entries were deemed invalid because the signer was not a registered elector at the time of signing.

Brown found additional signatures were invalid due to reasons such as an illegible entry, a duplicate signature by the same person, missing information, and/or because the information listed does not match voter records.

Regarding the testimony of omas Riley, the forensic document examiner, Brown wrote, “While his testimony was helpful as to the duplicate signature lines, and likely necessary for the record, the duplication of handwriting on multiple signature lines is quite obvious.

“As the statutes and case law prohibit one person from making entries on multiple signature lines, any such duplication will render all such signatures invalid.”

In reference to Peters’ claim that evidence suggested some of the signed petition packets had been disassembled, Brown deemed one packet invalid, referred to as “petition packet 40.”

“ e Circulator’s A davit contains multiple staple marks (not so for the other pages of the packet).

e page containing signatures 3640 has been torn from the original packet which is strong evidence of disassembly,” Brown wrote. “As such, Petition packet 40 is deemed

to be invalid in its entirety. No signature thereon will be counted as valid.”

According to the document, there were 50 signatures in petition packet 40.

Regarding the testimony of the four Englewood residents who circulated petition packets, Brown determined that it appeared each of them had read and understood the laws related to petition circulation.

“Each of these four witnesses testi ed that they read over the rst page of the Referendum Petition, and that they generally understood the requirements of petition circulation,” Brown wrote, adding that the law does not require that a circulator read all applicable statutory provisions.

“While I have determined a fair number of signatures to be invalid, I do not nd that the proponents or circulators acted in bad faith or with a conscious decision to mislead the electorate,” Brown wrote.

How to take up running, from starting out to marathons

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Roxane Geisler started running in high school as a new challenge — somebody told her she should run cross country.

“I didn’t even know how to run a mile,” said Geisler, who is now president of the Highlands Ranch Running Club.

Getting into running “just gradually happened for me,” said Geisler, who is 54. “Suddenly, I was like, ‘Oh, I really do enjoy it, and I love getting out and seeing the views.’”

For people who are inexperienced at running but want to improve, it’s key not to be intimidated, Geisler said.

“A lot of people think, ‘Oh, I can’t join the running club because I’m not a real runner.’ And that’s totally silly,” Geisler said. “If you run, you’re a runner.”

Ryan Marker, an assistant professor who teaches exercise physiology at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, said it’s important for beginners to start slow. “Setting appropriate expectations, I think, is really important,” Geisler said. “So if someone’s never run before, you’re not going to get o the couch and do a marathon.”

But with the right plan, even beginners can work their way up to a marathon within months. (Here’s a tip: You don’t have to run the whole thing.)

Here’s some advice on how to start running or take your training to the next level.

Part of the group

One thing that can help you get into running: nding a group of runners to keep you moving.

When Geisler moved to Highlands Ranch in 2003, she noted how many people were out running by themselves.

She learned about the Highlands Ranch Race Series, and part of the idea behind starting her running club was to get some runners to train together.

“It makes running so much easier, training so much easier, when you have people to train with,” Geisler said.

And the people she’s met through her club “were a tremendous in uence on me — just people who really push themselves and try to get the best out of themselves,” said Geisler, who has run marathons.

e club provides a communal atmosphere:

LONG RUN

Runners don’t just work out but also make connections in her group.

“De nitely lots of friendships have formed, and even a few people have met their spouses,” Geisler said.

Starting out

For beginners who are getting over the initial hump of starting to run, it’s important not to bite o more than you can chew, said Marker, who works in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus.

“If you’re just starting, even running for a mile, say — or even less than that — is meaningful,” Marker said. Another strategy, he said, is to remember you don’t have to run consistently for a whole workout.

“Run for ve minutes and walk for two,” Marker said as an example of setting planned walk intervals. at method “can help people build up their initial capacity.”

For runners ages 35 and up, Geisler said starting slow can help, like working toward a goal of “I’m going to run this whole mile without walking,” she said. “And then go from there.”

Also important: making sure you have the right running shoes for you. Geisler recommends getting a shoe tting at a specialty running store like Runners Roost.

“You can really get injuries if you don’t have the right footwear,” Geisler said.

Mental game

“Running is a mental sport” is a cliché for a reason — getting your mind used to running is a big part of the battle.

Di erent strategies can help you tackle the mental aspect of running, according to Marker.

“One very accessible one is goal setting … maybe you’re someone that really thrives on, you know, competition, getting a personal best,” Marker said. For those people, always having an appropriate race that you’re training for can help.

For others, distraction works well, so nd a good music playlist or podcast or audiobooks, Marker suggested. Or opt for using running as a headclearing experience.

“I can almost do a mindfulness type of thing in running,” Marker said, adding: “Especially if you’re trail running, it can make you stop thinking of other things.”

Gearing up for a marathon

For those who aim to run a marathon — about 26 miles or 42 kilometers — it’s a good idea to schedule an initial training plan of at least six months, Marker said.

For inexperienced runners, there’s “not a small chance that you may get injured in that time, so you want to incorporate some bu er room,” Marker said. at’s partly so if you do develop an injury, you can adjust your training instead of trying to push through the pain and making it worse.

Expecting a long training period can help you eld interruptions that may pop up.

“Life happens,” Marker said, adding that if you have a busy week at work, for instance, and are not able to stick with your training plan, there’s no need to feel that you’ve failed and have to stop.

In terms of distance, “you want to get in at least one longer run a week,” Marker said.

Expect to run three to four days per week at minimum and six days per week at most.

at’s because runners need to incorporate rest periods to avoid overtraining problems, Marker said, adding that it’s important to give your body time to adapt.

It may surprise you to hear that you shouldn’t be about to keel over throughout your run when training for a marathon.

“It’s not a bad idea to keep most of your training at moderate intensity,” said Marker, who referenced “the talk test.”

at’s “the idea that you’re doing moderate intensity exercise if you’re able to relatively easily carry on a conversation (while) you do that exercise,” Marker said.

If it gets so hard to breathe that you can’t say more than a few words without pausing for breath, that would be higher-than-moderate intensity.

In “the marathon, you’re going to be going at a relatively steady pace for a long period of time,” Marker said, adding it’s a good idea for your training to re ect that pace.

“ ere’s no shame if you incorporate walking into a marathon,” Marker said.

“When you get to the elites, they’re running the entire time, and they’re running a pace that people, even me, couldn’t keep up even a 10th of the distance,” said Marker, who has done a couple marathons and one ultramarathon. (An ultramarathon is anything longer than a marathon, he said. e one he did was 50 miles.)

For walking, the biggest tip is making sure it’s planned, Marker said.

“ e moment you start walking because you’re tired,” that can be “game over,” he said.

He added: “You want to have more ‘on’ than ‘o ’ — not ending up with a 50/50 split” of time spent running and walking.

Fuel on the way

Something else you might not know: People training for marathons eat while on the run. at could be energy gels or bars, Marker said.

“I’d say if your long runs are starting to get longer than an hour, that might be a good time to gauge how you’re feeling,” Marker said, adding it could help to start bringing food with you.

Hit the gym

Strength training — not just running — can be key to pushing your running further, as it can help with injury prevention.

“If someone has the time and they’re able to incorporate strength training into their routine,” Marker said, “it can de nitely help them.”

SONYA’S SAMPLER really

Chamber music makes for sweet summer day

Saxophonist

Sergei Govorov, pianist Britta De Groot perform in Englewood

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Englewood’s Hampden Hall is a perfect spot to spend a cool summer Saturday afternoon listening to chamber music, performed by highly skilled musicians. Some selections will be familiar and for me, at least, many are not — which is great! And, I get to hear skilled artists performing in a really ne hall.

On June 24, Englewood Arts Presents brought Russian saxophonist Sergei Govorov, who performs both classical and contemporary music for audiences in Europe, Asia and the U.S. In 2023, he received a green card for “extraordinary people,” so perhaps he will visit in Colorado again. I think we sometimes don’t fully recognize the issues international performing

artists must cope with to perform in the U.S. or Europe and China.

In addition, he has written three books with musical arrangements for children to play. And musical pieces such as “Organ Plus Saxophone Duet,” which he has performed with organist Olesya Kravchenko — more than 600 concerts in Russia.

Govorov was born in Ekaterinburg, Russia and graduated from the Sverdlovsk Regional Tchaikovsky College of Music in 1999. He studied saxophone at the department of jazz and popular music there.

He also is a member of the folk ensemble Russian Banjo and after completing his doctorate at the National Gnessin Music Academy, he traveled to France to be coached by skilled performers there and has performed at the prestigious Montreaux, Switzerland, Jazz Festival.

Govorov was accompanied by pianist Britta De Groot, who recently received her master’s in music in piano performance from the University of Colorado, Boulder, under the tutelage of well-recognized pianist David Korevaar.

ere will be one more summer

chamber music performance at 2 p.m. on July 15: “Violin Sonatas,” with Susan Paik on violin and Teddy Niedermaier on piano, performing music by Schumann, Bolcom and Niedermaier.

Heritage Month and Oct. 28 will feature pianist Jooeun Pak. On Oct. 28, Alex Gonzalez, assistant professor of violin at CU Boulder (replacing Claude Sim, previously announced) will perform “Violin Sonata in Eb Major” by R. Strauss. On Dec. 10, cellist Silver Ainomae will make a return visit from his present home in Minneapolis.

Arapahoe Libraries marches in Coors Light Denver Pride Parade

Around 80 people, including 38 employees and their families and friends, represented Arapahoe County Libraries in the 2023 Coors Light Denver Pride Parade on Sun-

Margay Dean, Senior Public Relations and Media Specialist for Arapahoe County Libraries said participants enjoyed the parade and the positive energy from spectators.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered for the parade and other events as part of the two-day Denver

e parade and festival were presented by e Center on Colfax.

According to Kirstina Sickels, Vice President of Development and Communications at e Center,

over 270 organizations walked in the parade, which spanned 14 blocks of Colfax Avenue from Cheesman Park to the Civic Center.

Arapahoe Libraires Community Engagement Coordinator Ann Maire Boger arranged the organization’s participation in the parade.

Dean said Kelsey Radomski, library specialist for the Mobile Library Services Team, drove the Library on Wheels in the parade for the rst time.

“Our message at events like this is, ‘the library is for all.’ Everyone is welcome at the library, and we want everyone to visit us and discover all the wonderful things we have to offer,” Dean said.

Sickels explained overall attendees, performers and vendors enjoyed this year’s festivities despite the harsh summer weather.

“It was a long hot weekend, but everyone stuck through it,” she said. “It has been so great to be at the receiving end of such positive feedback.”

Hathaway also said the summer concert series put on by the e Littleton Museum and the Friends of the Library and Museum usually overlaps with Western Welcome Week, but this concert season ends before the Western Welcome Week celebration. Other events this year include gold panning on the South Platte River, a 5k fun run and walk starting at Hudson Gardens and Event Center, swing dancing, a quilt show, a craft fair and more.

Hathaway also said the week’s main festival day on Aug. 19 will have many

For several years now, the program has continued to receive support from the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum foundation.

Fetters said support from local businesses, which provides the library with vouchers to be given out as reading prizes, encourages participants to read more while drawing business to the area.

As the program grows and the role of the library in the community changes, Fetters emphasizes the need to engage everybody, particu-

highlights including a robotics demonstration from local schools. e Honor Bell from Fort Logan National Cemetery will also be on display to honor veterans and more than 100 organizations will have booths, including the South Metro Safety Foundation.

Hathaway said more events will be added to the schedule as the celebration approaches, so community members should check Western Welcome Week’s website for the most up-to-date list of events.

‘To 100 years and beyond’

Hathaway said her favorite things about Western Welcome Week are its history and tradition.

“We’ve got families that have been

larly children, with local libraries.

“ e kids and the young families, these are the supporters of libraries in the future,” Fetters said. “You can get lots of things online, but there’s something about a library, a community center.”

coming for, you know, four generations,” she said. “I think it’s just that community spirit because it really is a community event.”

She said Western Welcome Week’s goal is to make it “to the 100th anniversary and beyond,” which she thinks will be possible thanks to its community support and dedicated sponsors.

For organizations that are considering supporting the event, Hathaway said there are many personalized ways to do so.

“If they love Western Welcome Week, support Western Welcome Week,” she said. “Each individual business is di erent. When they call me and ask me about sponsorships, I kinda ask what their goals are ... We really cater our sponsorship pack-

patrons of the Summer Reading Program, and a reminder of Bemis as a community staple.

“[ e kids] are just so engaged in the fun of it, and so just seeing everyone’s excitement, happy to be at the library, is the best part,” Stephenson said.

e Summer Reading Program runs through July. Whether you’re in a reading slump, looking for a summer family activity, or hoping to meet some new people, Bemis is the place for you.

With its mission of “celebrating community,” Western Welcome Week owes its thanks to the great people that support it each year, Hathaway said.

“ e people that are involved — our board and our volunteers … they’re there because they want to participate and support the community,” she said. “ e big thing is we’re just here to support the community and we hope that they in turn, turn around and support us.”

We are de nitely a society on the go. We want the speed limits to be higher, our ights to get us to our destination faster. We want our meals delivered to our homes or tables in unreasonably fast times. We expect the elevator to show up as soon as we press the button. It’s the pace of the race these days that we are trying to keep up with and the pace is getting quicker and quicker each day.

Is it time to slow down a bit for you?

he said it could be due to the design standards at the time the pipe was built.

“ e original pipe was installed in 1974, but we believe the angled part where the sinkhole happened was installed in 1992,” he said.

Rachael said the city’s geographic information system maps shows no more unrestrained joints in the pipe.

Several of the previous sinkholes on Oxford Avenue were likely caused by pressure surcharges that caused pipe joints to fail, Rachael said. is means the pipes were carrying more water than they were built to carry. Another previous sinkhole, Rachael said, was caused by an issue with a manhole.

Considering these various potential causes in the same area of the city’s stormwater system, Rachael said it’s di cult to pinpoint if there’s a common cause.

“I guess the common factor — for the pipe, and not necessarily the sinkholes, but the pipe itself — is it carries a tremendous amount of water,” he said.

Sinkhole repairs

Rachael said contractors have removed the damaged corrugated metal

pipe and are hoping to replace the section with a concrete pipe if materials are available.

“ e bene t (of a concrete pipe) is longevity and maintenance,” Rachael said. “Concrete pipe is much more durable — it’s more expensive, but it also has less maintenance issues typically.”

He said several other sections of the pipe under Oxford Avenue are already concrete.

e city does not yet have a timeline for how long repairs will take or an estimate of how much the repairs will cost, Rachael said.

Repairs for a sinkhole on the Oxford Avenue in July 2018 cost $176,000, he wrote in an email. Another one in 2019 cost $520,000, he wrote.

South Englewood Flood Reduction Project

To help reduce the amount of water traveling through the stormwater system, the city is embarking on a project called the South Englewood Flood Reduction Project.

One aspect of the project is building a new stormwater detention pond to reduce the ow going through the pipes. is pond will hold stormwater during major rain events, allowing the system to carry more stormwater over a greater period of time, according to the project’s website.

Rachael said the quantity of water going through pipes can be a contrib-

uting factor to their failure.

“ ere could be outside in uences that cause issues and then when those issues arise, high volumes of water exacerbate those and cause failures,” he said.

Another aspect of this project is lining the stormwater pipes along Oxford Avenue, from South Windermere Street to the South Platte River.

Deputy Director of Public Works

Tim Hoos said this lining will hopefully prevent the blowouts and sinkholes in the area.

“We’ll line that pipe — (to) not only increase the structural rigidity, but also the ow characteristics,” he said in the study session. “It’ll work in conjunction with the new detention pond to not only hold the surges of water back, but also be able to handle the water ow better that comes to that pipe.”

Rachael said the city and its contractors for the project will do other replacements or repairs as needed if their inspections identify damaged pipes.

e total project cost is estimated to be $26 million, Rachael said, which will be funded by stormwater utility fees.

Stormwater utility rates have been incrementally raised over the past ve years to fund needed capital improvements to the city’s storm drainage system, Rachael wrote in an email to

the Englewood Herald.

In 2021, the residential rate was raised from $6.71 per month to $10.27 per month, he said. e current residential rate is $19.25 per month, he said.

e city plans to get bids for the project in August and have the construction begin this fall.

Will there be more sinkholes?

Looking forward, Rachael said Englewood has no speci c concerns about more sinkholes happening in the area.

“We’re not aware of anything else on this section of pipe but we are going to go ahead and look at other stu within our system to try and get ahead of any future issues that are of similar nature,” he said at the study session. He also said the rain seems to be slowing down this season.

“We have had a large amount of rainfall over the last two or three months here,” he said. “We’re in that pattern and we’re nally drying out. e city’s committed obviously to maintaining our existing infrastructure and then improving it to handle these larger events.”

Eastbound Oxford Avenue is still closed from Santa Fe Drive to South Windermere Street/South Navajo Street, and southbound Windermere/ Navajo street is still closed in the area as repairs continue.
