‘It simply wasn’t my time to die’ Littleton woman speaks out about attack along river trail

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Vanessa Ursini knew it wasn’t her time to die.

Early on the morning of July 25,

she was walking her dog on a loop she was familiar with near the Platte River trail, close to her home in Littleton, when a man attacked her from behind, she wrote in a public Facebook post.

After surviving a sexual assault that she said nearly killed her, she is speaking out to remind others of how important it is to be aware of their surroundings.

“This was the worst day of my life but I knew I had to fight — it simply

wasn’t my time to die,” Ursini, 29, wrote in the Facebook post on July 26.

“I am lucky to be alive, so please have a plan in place to protect yourself from whatever may be out there.”

The suspect, Johnny Dewayne Harris Jr., 48, who police say was homeless, was taken into custody shortly after the incident. He told police he attacked Ursini, according to the arrest affidavit. Court records show he has been charged with multiple felonies, including first-degree kidnapping and

sexual assault.

Wearing a tie and button-down shirt, Harris appeared in court July 31 at the Arapahoe County Justice Center, where a preliminary hearing was set for Oct. 15. He remains in the Arapahoe County jail without bond.

The Texas state offender registry shows Harris is a registered sex offender who was first convicted of sexual assault in 1999 in Texas.

Biogas plan headed for vote on final approval City council to give last word on plan to repurpose wastewater byproduct

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After nearly two years in the works, the plan to repurpose a byproduct gas from Englewood’s and Littleton’s wastewater-treatment plant to reduce pollution and potentially make millions in profit heads for a vote on final approval early this month.

Englewood City Councilmembers Laurett Barrentine and Rita Russell remained skeptics in mid-July, fearing costs would fall on Englewood residents if a crucial underpinning of the proposal doesn’t go according to plan.

“We have a fiduciary responsibility,” said Russell, adding she doesn’t want taxpayers to end up footing the bill for costs of the plan.

City Manager Eric Keck, at the July 19 joint meeting between Littleton’s and Englewood’s city councils, said the cities’ investment in the project would still be repaid, even if a federal policy that allows the biogas to make profit in the energy market ends. But, officials said, the program ending soon is an unlikely scenario.

Here are the ins and outs of the plan, ahead of the Aug. 6 vote to either

finalize it or deny it.

Renewable resource At the core of the plan is the South Platte Water Renewal Partners plant — formerly the Littleton/Englewood Wastewater Treatment Plant — which purifies water that gets flushed down toilets and drains from showers, sinks, washing machines and so on.

The treatment produces the byproduct called biogas, some of which is burned for heating within the wastewater-plant system.

The rest gets “flared” in a waste-gas burner — the plant currently flares more than 5,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas Keck into the atmosphere annually, Keck said.

A factor in the plan’s ability to bring in profit is a federal program that allows for selling renewable energy credits, called RINs, or “renewable identification numbers.” RINs are assigned to batches of renewable fuel that are sold in the energy market.

One Littleton official once called the project “in essence, a form of gambling.”

“We would be taking on a high level of risk with citizens’ money,” said Doug Clark, a former Littleton councilmember, in October.

Councilmembers in Englewood have raised concern that the federal

government might change policy on RINs. The Renewable Fuel Standard, a program that requires refineries to blend ethanol and other biofuels into the nation’s fuel supply or buy credits from those who make such renewable fuels, began under President George W. Bush. It currently extends until 2022.

Keck said that “2022 is the date that the U.S. Department of Energy, the (Environmental Protection Agency) and the (wastewater plant) RIN broker are all indicating that the RINs will be around through at a minimum.”

Other options The previous city council — before the November election — cleared some initial hurdles for the project, but it still faced the snag of whether Littleton and Englewood should pay for the project themselves or partner with a private company and share the profit.

The plan could make about $12 million in profit to be split by both cities over 10 years if they proceed without a private company, according to Keck.

The cities have opted to cash-finance the project themselves if it’s ultimately approved.

The cities would put the fuel in pipelines owned by Xcel Energy, and the project as a whole would cost about $7.4 million to pull off — a cost split essentially 50/50 between Littleton and Englewood. After about 4 1/2 to 7

years, though, it would pay for itself, according to a presentation at the July 19 meeting, and the profits would accumulate after that. The range in the payback period depends on fluctuation in the value of RINs, according to the presentation.

As of around January, Englewood had nearly $6 million in its sewer reserves, and Littleton’s sewer reserves exceed $20 million. Profit from the project would ultimately be reinvested in the wastewater plant.

The cities’ decision to pay for the project on their own allows for the most control and financial gain but would saddle them with higher financial risk. But the RIN program is unlikely to be changed because “it is so entwined with the current oil and gas as well as agricultural community,” Keck said.

“If the RINs were to go away, the plant would continue to be paid for (by) the natural gas at market rates, which the (federal) Energy Information Administration predicts will climb due to fossil-fuel costs as well as demand for natural gas,” Keck said.

Englewood and Littleton could sell the biogas in other ways in that case, wastewater-plant leadership has said.

The cities could sell gas to fuel fleets of vehicles, for example.

The project’s overall goal isn’t for the profit, Keck said at the meeting.

STERLING RANCH WELCOMES FIRST COMMERCIAL TENANTS

The latest news from Sterling Ranch, announcing new locations for the Grist Brewing Company and Atlas Coffee coming online at the Sterling Center this Fall, has many in the community thrilled to soon have community gathering spaces nearby.

“We have had a tremendous buzz around the neighborhood since the Grist and Atlas news was announced last week,” said Kate Kunzie, the new Community Manager on staff with the Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board. “It’s amazing how such simple things coffee and craft beer mean so much to Coloradoans. It has really helped our families get excited about their futures here in a whole new way.”

Grist, a brewery which has focused its attention on the southwest Denver market, has become a real name in the Douglas County area and made for a natural partner for Sterling. The brewery will open on the site later in the year due to regulatory requirements and approvals at the County and State levels.

Atlas Coffee has a reputation for providing sustainably-sourced and community-minded coffee and will also be serving food at the Sterling Center location. According to Atlas Coffee’s Owner, Brad Heykoop, the Sterling Ranch leaders, as well as vocal leaders from the business community, all helped encourage him to embrace the idea of expanding to this new location.

“We felt aligned with their culture, and their vision for this community, and as we learned more, we became even more excited to become a part of Sterling Ranch,” he said.

UCHealth To Open First

The first tenant announced for the Sterling Center in 2017, UCHealth, will also be the first tenant to open

its doors this Fall. With 8,000 square feet of space on the building’s ground floor, UCHealth will begin providing Urgent Care, Primary Care, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Medicine services at the location beginning on September 4th.

“UCHealth aims to provide accessible, community-based healthcare services.

The Sterling Center, located at the corner of Titan Road and Eagle River Street in Littleton, CO will open with a string of great tenants this Fall. The building was designed by architecture firm BurkettEUA and built by Mortenson Construction.

For us, getting on board with Sterling Ranch early was an easy decision, as it is clear these new residents, and the neighbors of the greater Roxborough and Highlands Ranch areas will all benefit from a new healthcare option off of Titan Road,” said Diane Cookson, President of the Highlands Ranch Hospital, the regional

sister hospital for the Sterling Ranch UCHealth satellite.

Once fully staffed, the site will host a team of 10-15 UCHealth staff members during the week. Appointmentbased Primary Care will be available from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Physical Therapy appointments will also be offered Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 4:30 PM. Urgent Care Services will be available without appointments Monday through Friday from 8 AM

Upon completion, Sterling Ranch will ultimately be home to many more commercial tenants such as food, clothing, and other retailers; as well as corporate offices and service providers such as dentists, pharmacies, veterinarians, and others.

“We are being careful to pace our commercial development side of things so that it best aligns with the needs of our residents and neighbors, with a focus on priority services.

We signed our deal with UCHealth first for a reason, as it was clear the Chatfield Valley had been deprived of healthcare access for decades,” said Brock Smethills, the Chief Operating Officer of the Sterling Ranch Development Company.

Work on 63-home Habitat project progresses Volunteers, including local residents, have completed 53 of the units

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

The buzz of power saws and the rap-rap-rap of hammers filled the air July 25 as crews continued work on the Sheridan Square Habitat for Humanity project.

Robyn Burns, director of Denver Habitat marketing and communications, said Sheridan Square is the largest single project in Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver history.

The development is located southeast of West Kenyon Avenue and South Knox Court.

“The project will include 63 Habitat homes,” she said. “Fifty-three units have been completed and about half the completed homes are occupied.

Construction on the project began two years ago and we expect to complete the project by the end of next year.”

Habitat for Humanity builds homes in the United States and 70 foreign countries. The website states the vision of Habitat for Humanity is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Burns said July 25 was part of Women Work Week for Habitat and about 200 women were expected to undertake the task to blitz-frame at least two homes during the week.

“Anyone who wants to volunteer can help and no construction skills are required,” she said. “We have individual volunteers sign up to help as well as companies that let employees help us build homes for those in need.”

On July 25, about 10 employees of Wells Fargo were among the volunteers working on the home that will be part of Sheridan Square.

Littleton resident Cara Hyndman was one of the Wells Fargo employees working on the project.

“This is the second time I have worked on a Habitat for Humanity project. Our employer gives us a few days a year to do volunteer work so I chose to work on this project,” she said. “I think working on a Habitat project is a lot of fun. I am getting pretty good with a hammer and today I got to work with power tools for the first time.”

She said she likes the opportunity to give back to the community.

“It is super fun today to be out here with all these ladies who are helping build homes that will help more families have a decent place to live,” she said.

Suspect faces new charges after victim dies STAFF REPORT

A teenager died of a gunshot wound to the head two days after she and a man were shot at a home in Littleton on July 17, according to police and the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

Police arrested Timothy Shelton, 22, on July 18. Shelton, who was a resident of the home on the 6000 block of South Broadway, initially faced attempted homicide charges, but will face new charges as a result of the girl’s death, police said in a news release on July 20.

Louisa Angelica Aguilar, 15, was shot inside of the home, according to a news release by the coroner’s office July 24.

Police were in the process of amending the charges as of noon July 23 with the intention of including charges of first-degree homicide and, in relation to the male victim, attempted homicide and first-degree assault, said Trent Cooper, spokesman for Littleton police.

The victims were shot around 6:30 a.m. on July 17, police said. The man was found a short distance from the scene with a gunshot wound to the face, and was treated at a hospital and released the same day. Aguilar died in the hospital on July 19.

Shelton’s criminal record includes guilty pleas to charges of harassment, assault and robbery, according to court documents.

Shelton was being held at the Arapahoe County jail without bond.

Swedish Medical Center nurse honored with DAISY award Compassionate care noted by patient making nomination STAFF REPORT

Swedish Medical Center nurse Lois Peterson received the DAISY award for providing extraordinary, compassionate care, according to a news release.

Peterson was nominated for the care she provided to a patient who was recovering from surgery.

“Lois is one of the kindest, most compassionate people we have ever met,” the patient wrote. “She is very empathetic and never makes me sense how busy she is. She went the extra mile when my hospital stay went past a week. She found a wheelchair and took me outside to the gardens. It seemed to be heavenly outside for the first time in 10 days.”

Peterson, a nurse at Swedish for over 15 years, was honored by a congratulatory party including nursing staff, medical staff, family and friends.

“This award is well deserving,” Sara Dembeck, RN, director of general surgery, said in a news release.

“She exemplifies the values and standards of Swedish Medical Center and is dedicated to her patients’ needs every day.”

DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY award is a collaboration of the DAISY Foundation and the American Organization of Nurse Executives, and was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes following his death due to complications of an auto-immune disease. The award is a partnership with healthcare organizations to provide ongoing recognition of the clinical skill and especially the compassion nurses provide to patients and families all year long.

Collecting LIVING data Denver Botanic Gardens scientists help track plant life along urban trail

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the lower levels of the Denver Botanic Gardens, the nonprofit’s herbarium holds more than 70,000 plant specimens as well as fungal samples and plant DNA. The plants are pressed in blotting paper to remove water and preserve the specimen.

Christina Alba, a research associate at the Gardens, has been working since April to collect a small portion of the samples from the High Line Canal trail system. The project will span into September to collect plants from all seasons.

“These collections are living data,” she said. “It’s not just dusty old stuff stuffed away. People are actively using it.”

The herbarium at the Botanic Gardens, 1007 York St., is mostly concentrated on plant samples from Colorado, Alba said. Her recent project with the Denver-based High Line Canal Conservancy will help create a better picture of what plant life lives along portions of the 71-mile trail system.

The High Line Canal Trail is a greenway that stretches from an area

southwest of Littleton to northeast Aurora. The trail winds through south Denver through Virginia Vale and the Cherry Creek Gold Club. A little over 17 miles of the trail system runs through Denver.

The canal was first built in 1883 as an irrigation ditch and was purchased by Denver Water in 1924.

Denver Water still uses the ditch to provide irrigation water to about 70 customers. Jose Salas, a media relations specialist with Denver Water, said it only runs water for short periods of time through the canal from April to October. But that also depends on how much water the state receives.

“Once an engineering marvel, the canal is not an efficient means of delivering water,” Salas said in an email.

“About 70 percent of the water seeps into the ground or evaporates before it reaches customers.”

Denver Water opened the area to the public for recreation in 1970.

Alba and a team of 10 volunteers have been collecting samples from every plant along the canal to take back to the Botanic Gardens herbarium.

From there, botanists can use microscopes to indentify the plant. Then, the Botanic Gardens will research that plant and whether it’s native to Colorado.

ects at the plant, Keck said.

Final word Englewood City Council will vote Aug. 6 on four measures to approve agreements for Xcel Energy, for construction, for RINbrokering services and for engineering services during construction.

In October, Clark in Littleton — who at that time was still on city council — was hesitant about the plan because of a use tax that both cities would pay on the project. Because Englewood would be paying itself the tax, Littleton would end up shouldering more than half the project’s cost. Littleton has moved forward anyway and agreed to the cost, Keck said.

“That’s icing on the cake,” Keck said. “The main driver is for us to be environmentally sustainable and not continue to put out the greenhouse gases.”

Any utility-rate increases that occur in the future would not be driven by the project, Keck said.

“Utility rates will most likely increase due to the new permit requirements stipulated by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to meet nutrient-removal levels,” Keck said.

Any profit on the project will be used for future proj-

“I also think it is great special to be working with a crew of all women. I think it is empowering to see what we women can do to build a home for a needy family.”

Habitat for Humanity Metro Denver was founded in 1979. Burns said since it was founded it has assisted 840 families.

“About 600 of those families moved into new homes,” she said. “Habitat volunteers helped renovate, rebuild or modernize the homes of the other families.”

A family applies to be part of Habitat online. Burns said the applications are evaluated and prioritized based on if the family is living in substandard housing, if they are paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing, and the ability to fulfill requirements

of the program, including ability to pay the mortgage and willingness to put in 200 hours of “sweat equity” working on their homes or the homes of other habitat families.

Once a family is accepted to become residents of a Habitat home they are sent a list of the properties under construction. When they select a site for their home, they are required to put in the “sweat equity” that is part of their agreement.

As the home is being built, the family attends 11 to 15 hours of classes about what is expected of homeowners, such as maintaining the property and the home.

“The families sign a 30-year mortgage agreement.” Burns said. “The payment is never more than 30 percent of their income and the mortgage is at below market rate. Every effort is made to help the family successfully purchase their new home. We feel it is working because Habitat has a less than 2 percent foreclosure rate.”

Littleton immigrant center offers American dream Small office means big things to seekers of citizenship

Why immigrate illegally?

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

J

ose Pimentel is a proud American citizen.

But 20 years ago, Pimentel was a scared 23-year-old dodging a rancher’s bullets, he says, as he bolted across the U.S. border, following a 13-year-old “coyote,” or human smuggler, into the Arizona night.

Pimentel’s journey to citizenship was a rare one — the vast majority of undocumented immigrants are ineligible for citizenship, which Pimentel qualified for after marrying an American citizen and getting a “green card.” But he owes much of his success to Littleton’s Immigrant Resource Center, which by this fall will have helped nearly 800 people become Americans since 2012.

“The IRC helped me from beginning to end,” said Pimentel, a diesel mechanic at Denver International Airport who now regularly volunteers at the center, doing administrative tasks and tutoring other seekers of citizenship. “I wanted to be a greater part of the United States, to vote, and to give back more to the country. The IRC walked me through every step of the process, and it’s a complicated one.”

Tucked in a group of old study rooms on the lower level of Bemis Public Library, the IRC offers a vast array of services to would-be Americans: oversight and advice on the process of citizenship, English lessons, assistance filling out forms, appointment setting and connections with other immigrant service organizations.

The IRC’s services are increasingly important as the federal government under the Trump administration tightens requirements to achieve citizenship, said Glaucia Rabello, the center’s director.

“It’s getting really hard,” Rabello said. “They’re strictly enforcing every restriction they can. They are denying more people who apply for naturalization. Before, they might let you skate a little bit on the requirement to read, write and speak English. That’s not the case anymore.”

The IRC only assists people who already have legal permanent resident status, or “green cards,” make the final step into citizenship, Rabello said.

The center does not assist immigrants who remain undocumented, nor does it help immigrants get green cards.

For many immigrants, though, the IRC’s flexibility makes all the difference. Whereas immigration attorneys can charge thousands of dollars to prepare forms and offer legal assistance, Rabello said, the IRC provides many services on a sliding scale, with some citizenship application classes costing as little as $10.

Money is one of the big barriers to achieving citizenship, Rabello said, as federal fees stack up.

Jose Pimentel crossed the border illegally in 1998 and was able to gain legal residency in the United States after marrying a citizen. He is a full-fledged citizen today, thanks in part, he said, to the Immigrant Resource Center.

PASS THE TEST Immigrants seeking citizenship must pass a 100-question exam administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Some of the questions: 1. What does the Constitution do?

2. What is an amendment?

3. How many amendments does the Constitution have?

4. We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years?

5. The House of Representatives has how many voting members?

n a matter of minutes, several neighbors in south Englewood found their floors and basements underwater in a storm that swallowed up belongings, memories and one woman’s life.

Hours later, they faced the first day of their lives marked by the flood — together, emotionally and filled with uncertainty for the future.

“My whole life is underwater,” said Jolee Dreher, 40, watching workers pump water out of her basement under a noonday sun on July 25 that told little of the chaos hours earlier.

Neighbors described the scene from the evening before on the 4600 block of South Acoma Street as being like a lake, with knee-high water covering the road, lawns and porches, rushing between homes with river-like force.

Dreher, who was at work at the time, said her youngest son, daughter, older son and his girlfriend and baby all barely got out in time when the flood struck.

“It went from ground to chest in minutes, it was pushing doors closed” and there was no time to save anything, said Dreher, still in her work clothes from the night before.

About five feet of water still stood in her basement at 4660 S. Acoma St. — even after draining on its own through the night, she said, as she walked around the lawn with news reporters and her children milling about her.

Her landlord took care of the water removal, she said, and Red Cross personnel came to offer assistance.

“All of us that live in the area know it’s a flood area,” Dreher said, but “this is extreme, very unusual. I don’t think this is something any of us could have prepared for.”

Mourning ‘a tragic death’ As of the afternoon July 27, six households in Englewood were receiving food, lodging and clothing assistance from the Red Cross, said Andrea Carlson, spokeswoman for the organization’s Colorado-Wyoming region.

That included 17 people, a mix of adults and children, Carlson said. All of the households sit in or near the 4600 block of Acoma Street, she said.

About 25 housing units in the city were impacted to some degree by the storm, according to the Red Cross.

One woman, Rachael Marie Haber, 32, died after Englewood police and Denver Fire Department officials responded to the basement unit at 4650 S. Acoma St. and pulled her out of water that had risen nearly to the ceiling. Cindy Hartman, the upstairs tenant, heard yelling and pounding on the door leading from the basement unit to the first-floor kitchen during the flood, and when Hartman couldn’t find the already submerged doorknob, she called 911.

Haber was taken to Swedish Medical Center and died in the early morning of July 25, with drowning the probable

Angelo Maldonado, 41, describes the July 24 torrent of water that flooded Acoma Street in front of his home in the 4600 block, between Tufts and Union avenues, and the basement unit of the home where he has lived for three years. “It’s the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this,” he said. Maldonado and his brother, Isaac, live in the first-floor unit. Their unit had little water — they stuffed towels at the bottom of the door jamb to keep water from seeping in. But the basement unit, where water reached the ceiling, was severely damaged, they said.

PHOTOS BY JERRY HEALEY Cindy Hartman, sitting on her nextdoor neighbor’s porch, lives at the South Acoma Street home where flooding in the basement trapped a woman who later died. She called 911 after hearing yelling and pounding on the door to the stairs leading from the basement unit to the kitchen.

cause of death, according to the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.

Haber, of Aurora, was not the tenant in that unit. She was cat-sitting for a friend, according to GoFundMe pages set up to support her husband and the friend.

“We’re praying for the family of the lady that got lost in this tragedy,” said Angelo Maldonado, who lives across the street. “It’s unfair for someone to lose their life that quickly.”

The City of Englewood released a statement the evening of July 26 that it “is sorry to hear about the tragic death.”

Mayor Linda Olson signed a resolution declaring a local disaster on July 26, the statement said. It allows the city to work with Arapahoe County and the Colorado Office of Emergency Management to determine eligibility for disaster-relief funding, according to the statement. The city added that the storm’s severity is associated with a 50-to-100-year event, meaning a storm of that magnitude has a 1 to 2 percent

chance of happening in any given year.

“When the city was built out, the master drainage system was not designed for this type” of storm, the statement said.

‘I just lost my whole world’ On a block northwest of Maldonado, a water-removal truck sat in front of a home, and scattered leaves and damaged trees lined some streets. Several residents of the flooded homes on Acoma Street said they were told by either firefighters or Xcel Energy representatives that they may not be able to stay because of possible structural damage and mold issues.

Courtney Strenke, 29, carried belongings in front of her home across the street from Dreher. She was home when the flood rushed in, breaking a window in a basement bedroom and pouring up to her knees.

“We were looking for passports, change of clothes, pictures and to unplug things,” but the rapidly rising water got in the way, Strenke said.

She prepared to stay at her fiancee’s mother’s home.

But Maldonado, whose home is just north of Strenke’s, didn’t have a similar option. He sat on a porch as his landlord, standing nearby, heard news about the damage.

“I’m on disability (assistance), so I can’t just move,” said Maldonado, 41, who said he lost some belongings in his garage to the flood. He lives in the firstfloor unit at 4661 S. Acoma St. with his brother, Isaac, a construction worker.

The Red Cross gave Maldonado about $600 worth of assistance, which might get him three or four days at a hotel, he said.

“I’m just looking to recover and move on,” Maldonado said. “I’ve been nauseous all day thinking of where I’m gonna go.”

Beth Minnick, 53, paced around on the porch, nearly in tears, after learning insurance wouldn’t cover the damage on the duplex building at 4661 S. Acoma St., which Minnick rents out and has owned since 1998.

“I just lost my whole world — everything I’ve worked for,” Minnick said of the property she envisioned would support her retirement.

Minnick said she asked her insurer about flood insurance in 2014 and was told it wasn’t available to her because the property is not on a designated floodplain, an area regulated as being susceptible to flooding. A government program sells flood insurance to those in and outside of floodplains, but Minnick didn’t find that out until her father did some research and told her July 26, she said. Nearly everyone Minnick has talked to on the block doesn’t have flood insurance, she said.

“It’s coming out of our pocket,” said Minnick, who lived in Englewood for nearly 20 years until recently moving to Denver.

Minnick said she’s letting Maldonado keep August’s rent money, which is $1,380, because he needs to find a place to stay.

Nearby, a neighbor cleared debris from her yard, and other community members and neighbors stood on lawns and in the street, surveying damage and preparing for the recovery.

Maldonado, reflecting from his porch, noted possibly the only upside of the flood: “The neighborhood has come closer together.”

Residents question city’s preparedness after flood Neighbors ask if city could have prevented damage from flood

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An overwhelmed Beth Minnick paced around a dirt-covered porch less than a day after a flood turned a south Englewood neighborhood into what residents said resembled a river — water rushing between and into homes, taking one life and upending several others.

And Minnick, a landlord of a home in one of the hardesthit areas, wondered if it was preventable.

“My reaction to this storm

On right, Jolee Dreher, 40, looks on July 25 as workers pump water out of her basement at 4660 S. Acoma St. The 4600 block of South Acoma Street and the area around it saw rushing flood waters July 24 that left several households displaced.

ELLIS ARNOLD is intolerable anger,” Minnick said July 25. “All I wanna know is what went wrong.”

In what neighbors said took only 10 to 20 minutes, waters overtook window wells, filled

stairways to basement duplex units and trapped one woman at 4650 S. Acoma St., who later died. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office said the probable cause of death for Rachael Marie Haber, 32, was drowning. Haber, of Aurora, was taken to Swedish Medical Center and died in the early morning of July 25.

Doug Cunningham, 53, said his home has come close to flooding “a dozen times” in the 15 years he lived in the basement unit at 4661 S. Acoma St. The water would seep in through the window a bit, but he had never seen it like this.

“The whole area turned into a lake, and I get two rivers on either side of the house.”

He said he had complained to Englewood about the risk.

as did Ian Fisher, who lives nearby to the south on that block.

“I don’t think the city infrastructure was prepared for this,” Fisher, 29, said.

Some properties in the city may need to be condemned because of flood damage, said Alison Carney, spokeswoman for the city, but the city still needs to inspect them to determine if they’re habitable. Carney provided answers to questions emailed to City Manager Eric Keck and Brad Power, director of the city’s Community Development Department.

Keck and Power did not respond to two emailed questions asking whether changes to the drainage system are necessary to adequately drain more flood water.

But the City of Englewood released a statement the afternoon of July 27 noting much of the damage from the storm was concentrated in and around Englewood.

“The damage and loss to life, homes,

City’s topography contributed to flooding The city added that the storm’s severity is associated with a 50-to-100-year event, meaning a storm of that magnitude has a 1 to 2 percent chance of happening in any given year.

The city cited analysis by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District.

About two inches of rain fell in 50-55 minutes between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. near

Acoma Street and West Tufts Avenue, and 2 1/2 inches of rain was estimated to the west, over the South Platte River, during that time, according to the analysis. A typical storm with a two-year frequency would result in about one inch of water in one hour, the city said in a statement.

The city declared a disaster verbally on July 25, the first statement said.

“When the city was built out, the master drainage system was not designed for this type” of storm, the statement said.

Doug Cohn, a 71-year-old member of the Englewood Historical Preservation Society, said he’s never seen a “hurricane-type storm like that” in his life.

He said the topographical makeup of Englewood — its hills and slopes — led to water flowing to where the flooding occurred around Minnick’s neighborhood. But even farther north near East Dartmouth Avenue and South Downing Street, floods rushed through the area, Cohn said.

“I had about two feet of water flowing down my street,” said Cohn, adding that a creek in his area floods regularly.

26, another statement said. It allows the city to work with Arapahoe County and the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to determine eligibility for recovery assistance, according to the city. Representatives from the city, state and the U.S. Small Business Administration will assess damage of impacted homes and businesses to determine eligibility for assistance, the city said.

“Homeowners and businesses can assist with the process by being available to speak to officials as they conduct the door-to-door assessments,” the city said.

If the city qualifies for assistance — it won’t know until Aug. 1 — officials may conduct more door-to-door contacts.

Look, in a word, the deal is, arguably, pointless QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

L

ook, I want everyone to stop saying “look” like I just did, before making a statement.

I hear it all the time now. It’s used this way, I’m guessing, to let your listeners know what you are about to say is momentous.

If what you’re about to say is momentous, there is no need to preface it with an alert.

Trust your momentousness.

Words are my best friends, and I hate to see them gathered at the river and beaten with rocks until

they have no coloring.

Case No. 1: “Fake news.”

Case No. 2: “Witch hunt.”

Case No. 3: “Let me ask you this.”

And of course, no one owns a “hot water heater.”

Newcomers to Colorado: you will begin to hear a word day and night, everywhere you go, like it or not. It is unavoidable: Don’t even try. It will come out of nowhere, and land on your mind.

It’s this: “Broncos.”

It refers to the local National

Football League team. The players behave like 5-year-olds at a clown party if they simply do what they are paid to do: Run five yards with the ball without falling down.

But they are adored and revered, and papers and programs are full of them. If one of them buys a toothbrush, it’s a breaking story.

You’ll get used to it. You won’t have a choice.

I don’t give a Rick Upchurch about the Broncos, but they were here before I was, and that’s the

m way I have to look at it. a I lived near Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, and heard touch- c and-go’s all the time that rattled I and rolled the house. Someone n reminded me, “They were here t before you were.” I never got used e to it, but I accepted it. a There are words I avoid that I have nothing to do with their a overuse.

I simply don’t care for them. h “Arguably” is one of them. v b SEE SMITH, P13

Setting goals sets us on the path to power

H LETTER TO THE EDITOR Child care a key investment As an educator with more than 30 years of experience, I have seen firsthand how high-quality early childhood programs help children and families thrive. While quality child care is not cheap, it is an investment that we must make. Child care is important for the healthy development of children, and it’s also essential for parents to maintain employment or return to work.

A study last year found that a family of four earning less than $25,000 a year with an infant and toddler in a child care center would have to spend 73 percent of its income on child care. That’s why I’d like to thank Congress, and specifically Sen. Bennet, for voting to double funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant.

CCDBG helps low- and middle-income families afford child care. We must call on

Congress to continue these investments and ensure CCDBG receives this historic level of funding again in fiscal year 2019.

We are already seeing the positive impact of these funds here in Colorado. Colorado has made significant improvements to ensure children and families reap the benefits of consistent child care. These changes include raising the eligibility requirements for families and creating statewide exit eligibility so that families don’t lose benefits simply because they moved counties, among others.

When we invest in children, particularly those living in poverty, we are setting them up for success. Child care is important for our youngest learners, our families and our communities.

ere is the challenge, find someone who has achieved greatness, excellence, or has completed the pursuit of something worthy and meaningful. And when you find them ask them WINNING if it was by WORDS pure luck, or if they had set a specific goal.

Or maybe ask them if they had planned and prepared on their way towards realizing their dreams.

Michael Norton I spend a lot of time reading business books, biographies, and personal development books, articles and blogs. I probably spend even more time listening to podcasts and watching motivational videos to keep my mind focused on the pursuit of elevating my own game. Meeting and speaking with other successful people from all walks of life is also part of my cookbook when it comes to my own personal and professional development.

The topic lately has been goal setting. Not just goal setting,

but goal setting and the achievement of our goals and dreams.

And just like I challenged you at the beginning of this column, I challenged myself to see if I could find anyone who has met with success and who did not have a goal or plan, in advance of the realization of their dreams and goals.

Whether I spoke with a very successful CEO, a top performing sales professional, a husband and wife, a teacher, a doctor, a student or a local entrepreneur, everyone I spoke with who had experienced success had planned for that success, prepared for that success, and set goals for themselves along the way. It was in 100 percent of the conversations.

Many people I spoke with about goal setting said that they had goals, but when I dug in deeper, they could not clearly define them. Others I met argued that goal setting just wasn’t for them, they would rather wing it as winging it has gotten them this far in life.

Think about the people you know who may have lost weight recently. Maybe it was only 10 pounds or so, and maybe it was significantly higher.

It has no meaning. It’s the same as saying nothing.

“Arguably” means you haven’t made a commitment to what you are saying. It lets you off the hook.

I prefer to be on the hook. It comes from being a schoolteacher.

I learned that hedging got me nowhere. It was always best (I thought) to be forthright and honest.

If I asked them to draw an apple, and one looked more like a quail, I might say, “You call that an apple?”

I would never leave it at that, however. I would mention that very few apples have feathers or a beak.

At one time, Look was a magazine, along with Life and The Saturday Evening Post.

I preferred The Saturday Evening Post because of the covers.

Many of them were painted by the great Norman Rockwell.

Rockwell was exceptionally talented. He was discredited by most Modern Art critics because his paintings were often overly sentimentalized.

I overlooked it, and just studied his techniques, which were flawless. Illustration at one time was a top dog.

I also admired Sir John Tenniel’s illustrations for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Lewis Carroll vividly described Alice and the other characters; Tenniel vividly depicted them.

Now we have computer graphics, and true illustrations are rarely needed.

Ask you children if they have ever heard of Rockwell.

They will share with you that they needed or wanted to lose that specific amount of weight. The husband and wife who set a goal for early retirement set a specific savings goal and had a supporting plan to get them where they wanted to be. The owner and CEO of a start-up company didn’t just go out and quit their job, they had a very clear vision and plan for what they wanted to do, set goals around it, and then executed against those goals.

There are so many great books and programs around the setting and achievement of goals. There are quotes and other short-form motivational materials to help us become and stay focused on our goals, all we have to do is Google “goal setting” or “goal setting quotes,” and we will find the sources that really connect us to the concept. Here are a few of my favorite quotes on the subject: “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” - Jim Rohn “What you get by achieving your goals

After being honorably discharged, he returned to Denver and entered the engineering program at the University of Denver.

The summer before his senior year at DU, he worked for the D.& R.G.W. Railroad. He continued working at the railroad for several more years as roadmaster, also helping build the Moffat Tunnel.

Art met the love of his life Nancy on a blind date. They were married in May of 1957, and just celebrated their 61st anniversary. They have 3 children, Ken (Emily), Neil (Bobbi), and Janice (Larry). They also have 6 grand-

He spent his retirement with Nancy attending grandchildren’s events, and visiting family and friends. They traveled across the country in their motorhome, visiting all 50 states and several countries.

Art was known to tell stories and tease people. He loved attending luncheons and family get togethers, watching sports, and drinking Arnie Palmers. He left an incredible legacy, and he will be missed by all who knew and loved him.

‘Red Rocks Live’ captures spirit of venue

‘PLAY BALL!’

S Not quite Cooperstown, but in the ballpark A collection of baseball bats is lined up in the form of Lou Gherig’s swing, the Hall of Fame first baseman from the New York Yankees.

he one-of-a-kind bat swung by Ty Cobb, the former holder of the all-time hits record before Pete Rose. A room of historic team jerseys. Baseball’s role in the American story.

You’ll find all of these displayed or explored at the “Play Ball!” exhibit at History Colorado Center. But the first thing you notice as you walk in, and which immediately gives you a sense of the sport’s humanity, is Babe Ruth’s palmprint — which may not be much larger than your own.

“What this exhibition does really well is it has the pieces to get beyond just the player on the field and their heroics,” said Jason Hanson, chief creative officer of History Colorado Center.

The display of the Bambino’s palmprint is just the first part of the story the exhibit sets out to tell: That baseball is ingrained in American culture, and it doesn’t take a superhuman to do superhuman things. The exhibit, said Hanson, is meant to educate people on the athlete’s place in history rather than just the stats on the back of their baseball card.

Coloradans have less than two remaining months to view one of the largest collection of baseball artifacts and memorabilia outside of

Jason Hanson, chief creative officer at the History Colorado Center, gives a tour of the “Play Ball!” exhibit at the museum, which runs throughout the baseball season.

The exhibit features the largest collection of artifacts from the game outside of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and museum in Cooperstown, New York.

Cooperstown, New York, at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver. The artifacts, memorabilia and photographs are only a fraction of Marshall Fogel’s expansive collection.

The “Play Ball!” exhibit has been open to the public since Major League Baseball’s Opening Day in March and will close on the last day of the season Sept. 30. The exhibit features artifacts from throughout the history of the game, including the nailed-together bat used by Cobb, SEE BALL, P25

ince Red Rocks Amphitheatre first opened as a concert venue, more than 2,000 performances have taken place on its stage by musicians in every genre imaginable.

Which meant when the City of Denver started working on compiling an album of some of its best performances, there was no way all highlights could be included.

“We knew we weren’t going to get close to providing a good look at the breadth of artists and performances we’ve had over the years,” said Brian Kitts, Red Rocks spokesperson.

“What we tried to do was provide a taste of the many styles we’ve had here.”

The end result is “Red Rocks Live,” a compilation three years in the making that features COMING performances from ATTRACTIONS 1978 to 2016. The three-LP limited edition vinyl collection is available at Red Rocks Trading Post and Visitor Center while supplies last. The album can also can be ordered on the Red Rocks website Clarke Reader and is available in a digital format on iTunes, Amazon and other online outlets.

As Kitts explained, staff had to consider factors like copyright and recording quality when considering songs to select. A big get, he said, was U2’s 1983 performance of “New Year’s Day” from its famous “Under a Blood Red Sky” performance. Other highlights include a 1978 performance of “Ship of Fools”

by The Grateful Dead and a 2015 performance of “Grapevine Fires” by Death Cab for Cutie.

“We also wanted to include local artists that have become Red Rocks favorites,” he added. “We made sure to include The Lumineers and The Fray in the track list because they’re so popular here.”

Since there was no way to get everything into the album, Kitts said he hopes it serves more as a kind of sonic memory capsule than a historical record.

“When people listen to the album, they might remember being at the show or have memories about seeing the artist perform,” he said.

“Seeing a show at Red Rocks is always magic, and every show here is special.”

‘For the Love of the West’ celebrates place Five artists explore region in show at Town Hall center

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

During the past couple of summers, accomplished local painter Sarah Phippen has filled the Stanton Gallery at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center with her paintings of Western landscapes, people and animals, especially horses, during August, as a nod to Western Welcome Week, which pretty much takes over in Littleton. (The festival is Aug. 10-19 this year.)

This year, Phippen has invited several artist friends to join her in a tribute: “For the Love of the West.”

They are: Rachel Saunders, Dawn Buckingham, Mark Brockman and Christine Brietnauer. Work by the quintet will hang through Aug. 31, with a meet-the-artists reception on Aug. 3 from 5 to 8 p.m. (First Friday) at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. (Also on Aug. 3 and 5 at Town Hall: Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” performed by student actors at 7 p.m.)

The gallery will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and Aug. 18 (Parade Day.) • Sarah Phippen, who portrays a deep love for the surroundings where she grew up, began formal training at age 14 and has since studied with area painters Jay Moore, Jim Norton, Dan-

‘Country Girl’ by Sarah Phippen. iel Sprick, Sandra Kaplan and Anthony J. Ryder, “each of whom deepened her understanding of oil painting, color and composition,” she writes. Her grandfather was George W. Phippen, founder of the Cowboy Artists of America and namesake of the Phippen Museum in Prescott, Arizona. She “grew up around livestock and wildlife,” she writes, and observes their personalities and expressions: quiet moments or trouble in their eyes. “I see this heritage as part of our age-old relationship with animals; it’s part of being human, a privilege that surrounds us every day.” She is active as a member of the Art Students League and the Farm Bureau. She creates sculptures as well as oil paintings and can be located at sarahphippen.com.

• Rachel Saunders is a native

Colorado oil painter, living and working in Denver. As an equestrian, she has a keen interest in the horse/human relationship — how does their harmony or discord reflect itself ? She originally studied art history at the University of Colorado and earned a master’s degree in art history at Hunter College in New York. She returned to Denver and worked as a decorative artist and muralist for more than a decade. With a decision to turn to fine art, she studied with Sandra Kaplan and Jill Soukup at the Art Students League and more recently with Mollie Davis. Recent awards have attested to her painterly skills.

• Dawn Buckingham is a plein air painter who writes of “a growing sense of urgency that I feel when I am painting both outdoors and in my studio. I have come to believe that my drive to capture the moment grows along with my concern for the need to preserve and protect our environment … My growth as an artist is a journey of personal awareness, growing advocacy and discovery …” The example we receive from her work shows “Buckingham Old Silo” in deserted surroundings. Who used to live and farm at this spot? Who owns it now—and do they care?

• Mark Brockman’s artist statement about his 40-year career begins with a quote from important American painter Andrew Wyeth: “One’s art goes as far and as deep as one’s love goes.”

He says this is what his work is about, the love of subject and the love of the work. “Painting for me is a form of self-

I prefer to paint those things I know well as there is always so much more to discover in the familiar.” He has shown in galleries in the south and east and taught in the Delaphine Visual Arts Center in Frederick, Maryland.

He belongs to the Pastel Society of Colorado, the American Watercolor Society and Plein Air Artists Colorado.

• Christine Breitnauer writes of a lifelong love of the outdoors, animals and creative expression, which come together in her art. The Colorado native has been involved in all three since her Rocky Mountain childhood. As a teen, she produced graphite portraits of people and pets and later worked in land surveying, which honed her visual approach and drafting skills.

She has studied with wildlife and landscape painters Kay Witherspoon, Ned Aldrich, Doug Dawson and Jay Moore and had been juried into national exhibits such as “Western Spirit” in Cheyenne, Wyoming and “Art for Horses” in Lakewood.

Decades of TRADITION come to FRUITION Western Welcome Week offers range of events over 10-day run

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

elebrating 90 years of success in Littleton, the 2018 theme for Western Welcome Week is community and friendship. The annual celebration will be held from Friday, Aug. 10 to Sunday, Aug. 19.

Cindy Hathaway, executive director of Western Welcome Week, said the event has made it through nine decades because it brings residents and businesses together in celebration of community spirit, and forms longstanding friendships both locally and abroad.

Korri Stainbrook, the community relations specialist of TLC Meals on Wheels, said Western Welcome Week is important because it brings community, family and friends together.

“It’s just a community staple,” she said. “Every August ... I know Western Welcome Week is where I will recon-

nect with friends, see family and really enjoy what we have. It’s the main event everyone makes sure they attend.”

Celebrating friendship on a larger scale, Western Welcome Week will continue to welcome friends from Bega, Australia. About 60 years ago, after seeing the U.S. State Department’s film “Small Town Editor” about the Littleton Independent’s Houstoun Waring, Bega’s newspaper editor, Walter Annabel, was struck by all the similarities Bega had to Littleton. He reached out to the Littleton editor, marking the beginning of their longstanding friendship.

Celebrating that friendship, Annabel’s son Bruce has been selected as one of the parade grand marshals this year. The other honoree is Dick Lautenbach, founder of Lautenbach Insurance in Littleton.

Parade The Grand Parade, which will be held on Festival Day, Saturday, Aug. 18, has become one of the biggest traditions of Western Welcome Week.

Hathaway said when it was time to celebrate Western Welcome Week’s 75th anniversary, the board of directors wanted to look at all the annual events, both new and old, and see how long

each has been a part of the celebration.

While the Littleton Community BBQ has reached 68 years, it’s the parade that has been a Western Welcome Week staple since the very beginning.

“The parade is the main constant,” Hathaway said. “The parade has always gone forward. During World War II, the parade still went on even though there wasn’t a lot of people here at home to make it happen.”

The Grand Parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Aug. 18 in downtown Littleton.

The parade will feature visitors from Bega, equestrians, high school marching bands from across the state, pipe bands, tractors and floats featuring the community and friendship theme.

“That’s the fun thing about this year’s theme — anyone can find a way to make it work,” Hathaway said. “We really don’t know exactly what it will look like until we see it.”

Drew Lang, of the Rotary Club of Littleton, said he has a business on Main Street and it’s incredible to see one of the biggest parades of the year in the Denver metro area go by year after year.

Australian delegation to get red-carpet treatment Guests from sister city Bega will visit rodeo, Broncos stadium

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton will be rolling out the red carpet from the moment guests from sister city Bega, Australia, land on Colorado soil on Aug. 9 ahead of Western Welcome Week.

A Littleton Public Schools bus will greet 22 delegates from the Land Down Under at Denver International Airport, whisking the Aussies away for a whirlwind 10-day trip that will showcase what Littleton and Colorado have to offer, said Wilt Cooper, president of the Bega/ Littleton Sister City Exchange program.

Delegates from Bega visit Littleton every five years, Cooper said, and Littleton delegates visit Littleton on an alternating five-year schedule. The delegates include Bega vocational school students

Matthew Gibbs and Jess Heaton, who won competitions to join the trip.

The bus will bring the delegation to Littleton’s Bega Park — named for the sister city — for a welcome reception from Mayor Debbie Brinkman, Cooper said. The delegation, which will stay with host families during the visit, will tour Hudson Gardens the next day, then attend the Family Night Concert and Fireworks event at Sterne Park that officially kicks off Western Welcome Week on Aug. 10.

Subsequent days will take the delegation to a rodeo in Fraser, the alpine slide in Winter Park, on a tour of the Denver Broncos’ stadium, a fancy reception at Columbine Country Club, and other destinations before culminating in the Aug. 18 Western Welcome Week Grand Parade, where the delegation will occupy a place of honor on a parade float.

The trip should be a thrill for Heaton, 18.

“The furthest I’ve ever traveled is Queensland (Australia), so I’ve

Jess Heaton’s teacher nominated her to win a free trip to Littleton with the Bega delegation. The 18-year-old will receive her diploma in event management just days before leaving Australia. COURTESY PHOTOS

Matthew Gibbs is one of two young Bega residents chosen to accompany his city’s delegation to Littleton during Western Welcome Week. He said the trip will be a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

never known much else except Bega,” Heaton said in an emailed statement.

The royal treatment is the least Littleton can do for their guests, considering how Littleton’s delegation has been treated in Australia,

Cooper said.

“They treat us like kings and queens when we visit,” Cooper said.

“Those of us who have gone down there have made lifelong friendships, so it’s good to get to return the favor.”

“I grew up here and come August you know it’s time for Western Welcome Week,” he said. “They have fantastic events all week long, but the parade is definitely something special.”

Community BBQ Besides the parade, Hathaway said the 2018 celebration has plenty of food, entertainment and events for all members of the family. The whole week starts with the 68th annual Littleton Community BBQ on Friday, Aug. 10, along with a family concert and fireworks at Sterne Park from 5 to 11 p.m.

Lang, the directory of fundraising for the Rotary Club, said while the BBQ has been a Western Welcome Week tradition for 68 years, the Rotary Club happily took over managing it last year.

“When the opportunity came up, we knew it was a great way to get involved in the celebration,” he said. “To me, the BBQ really kicks off all the festivities.”

This year, Lang said they will be serving pulled pork and hot dogs for between $6 and $8 a plate.

Family fun Hathaway said in recent years the Littleton Elks Children’s Fishing Derby at Geneva Lake and Park has become popular. The derby starts at 10 a.m., Saturday. Aug. 11.

Val Dettmer, chairperson of the Derby Committee, said the excitement over this year’s competition is building for children between the ages of 2 and 12. The two-hour competition will give prizes for a variety of catches from smallest to biggest to heaviest.

Raffles will also be held throughout the competition.

Dettmer said this year the Colorado Division of Fish and Wildlife will be on hand starting at 8 a.m. to teach kids how to cast their lines and to help out during the competition.

Another popular event is gold panning on the Platte. In its 22nd year, the event will be held between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday, Aug. 11 at South Platte Park.

Parade marshals recognize sister city relationship

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Dick Lautenbach is called up to the stage at the reception ceremony for the Bega, Australia, sister city delegation to accept his role as one of the grand marshals of Western Welcome Week on Aug. 9, the moment will recognize a friendship that dates back more than six decades that Lautenbach helped inaugurate.

Littleton’s sister city relationship with Bega had its origins in 1954, according to materials provided by Western Welcome Week administration. That year, Curly Annabel, the editor of the Bega District News, became enamored of Littleton after seeing “Small Town Editor,” a State Department-funded film about Houstoun Waring, the legendary editor of

the Littleton Independent.

By 1961, Waring and Annabel were friends, and Waring tapped Lautenbach and other head honchos of the Littleton Chamber of Commerce to spearhead a “sister city” relationship, part of a program created by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1956.

The intervening decades have seen Bega and Littleton send delegations back and forth, fostering cultural exchange and friendship, Lautenbach said.

Lautenbach’s fellow grand marshal will be Bruce Annabel, Curly’s son, who could not be reached for comment.

“It’s been a marvelous relationship,” Lautenbach said. “I watched Bruce grow up, and it will be such an honor to stand beside him in the parade.”

‘Community and friendship’ a fitting theme

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

How do you build a parade float on the theme of “community and friendship?” Larry Ettles has a pretty good idea.

Ettles, one of the committee members of the Bega/Littleton Sister City Exchange program, is building the float the delegation from Littleton’s sister city of Bega, Australia, will ride on in Western Welcome Week’s Grand

Parade on Aug.18.

“Well, this year’s Western Welcome Week theme is community and friendship, so we’ll start with a cutout of the U.S. and Australia, and we’ll have a big boomerang to connect the countries, since our delegations kind of boomerang back and forth to each other,” Ettles said by phone from a barn in Parker, where he and five others are assembling the float.

“We’ve got a little model of the Sydney Opera House for Australia, and a

model of some mountains for Colorado,” Ettles said as power tools whirred in the background. “We’ll have kids riding straw bales with little horse heads on one side, and kids riding straw bales with kangaroo heads on the other side. I think the Australians will like it.”

Community and friendship are fitting themes to recognize Littleton’s decades-long friendship with Bega, said Ettles, who traveled to Bega with a previous delegation.

“Staying with our host families there was priceless,” Ettles said. “We ate what they ate, went to the store with them, talked about their philosophies of life — we really developed a closeness.”

Mutual friendship can benefit both Australia and America, Ettles said.

“There are so many things we can learn from each other, instead of thinking we’re the only ones who know how to do things right,” Ettles said.

Top street entertainers return for Buskerfest Denver Union Station is site for third annual festival STAFF REPORT

Some of the most recognizable street performers will be in downtown Denver from Aug. 10-12 for the third annual International Buskerfest at Denver Union Station.

The colorful event begins at 5 p.m.

Aug. 10 with a grand entrance of all performers at the Union

Station plaza, 1701 Wynkoop St. Buskers are street entertainers who are tipped for their public performances. Top buskers earn their livelihood by performing to audiences the world over.

Among the entertainers are Sharon from Canada; Her Majesty’s Secret Circus from Vermont; New Creations Brass Band from New Orleans; Bekah Smith from Boulder; and Staza Stone from Denver. In addition, break dancer Snap Boogie from Boston returns, along with former Boulderite Derek Derek, who is now based out of Los Angeles. Queenz of Hip Hop, curated

by Meow Wolf, will provide roaming pop-up ciphers.

Visitors to International Union Station Buskerfest can tip performers using cash or wooden nickels that can be purchased on site for $1 each.

Multiple shows will be presented each day, starting at 5 p.m. Aug. 10; 10 a.m. Aug. 11; and 11 a.m. Aug. 12. Face painters will be on hand, giant puppets will roam the plaza and kids will have an opportunity to create crafts with the nonprofit organization Arts Street.

Workshops will be offered by hula-hoop artist Staza Stone and by Boulder’s Up Down Circus, a group

that works to spread the joy of circus by teaching circus arts to all ages.

The Union Station Farmers Market will also be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Aug. 11.

Proceeds benefit Arts Street, a nonprofit organization that works with Colorado kids, offering real-world experiences to help students, primarily inner-city youths and young people who struggle in traditional schools, move toward careers in the creative industries.

For a full schedule, the complete lineup of performers, and information on 2018 Buskerfest sponsors, visit www.unionstationbuskerfest.com.

IMMIGRANT

‘UNDOCUMENTED’ VS. ‘ILLEGAL’ What is the correct way for news reports to refer to someone who immigrates illegally?

FROM PAGE 8

“If you’re working 12 hours a day and commuting between two jobs, when do you have time to go study English?” Rabello said. “Many people come here with little or poor education, and we expect them to know not just English but civics. We’ll work with their schedule. You can only meet with a tutor late on a Saturday night? Fine, we’ll make it happen.”

The IRC started in 2005 as an outgrowth of the Littleton Leadership Retreat, a community brainstorming group, according to the center’s website. Initially, the center primarily connected immigrants with community resources in a limited manner, but in 2012 it received a $250,000 grant from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to greatly expand its offerings.

The center now must compete with other similar programs across the nation every two years to renew the grant, which is matched by the city. The money supports five staff members and a host of other services. Volunteers like Pimentel provide vital support.

Volunteering at the center is a way to share the blessings of life in America, said Kathryn Ballinger, a retired attorney from Bow Mar who started

The terminology is dictated by the Associated Press Stylebook, which is the definitive style and usage guide employed by journalists to standardize language.

The stylebook recommended the term “illegal immigrant” until 2013, when editors changed the style to labeling actions rather than people. The stylebook’s entry today reads in part: “illegal immigration: Entering or residing in a country without authorization in violation of civil or criminal law. Except in direct quotes essential to the story, use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant. Acceptable variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission.

Pins in a wall map show where the Immigrant Resource Center’s clients come from — and where they end up.

Do not use the terms alien, an illegal, illegals or undocumented (except when quoting people or government documents that use these terms).”

DAVID GILBERT

helping out at the center nine months ago.

“I think we forget how lucky we are and what our roots are,” Ballinger said. “This felt like a good way to be a friendly face and to counter the less-welcoming messages out there right now.”

Ballinger said she’s been heartened to get to know the center’s clients.

“The people we work with are lovely,” Ballinger said. “They’re hard-working, well-intentioned

and family-oriented.”

Citizenship means a better connection to family for many immigrants, said Jose HerreraRodriguez, who took the oath of citizenship at age 67 on July 5, thanks to help from the IRC. “Now that I’m not saving up for citizenship, I can afford go see my children in Mexico,” said Herrera-Rodriguez, who had been working toward citizenship for 18 years. “Well, they’re not exactly children anymore.”

Paul Colford, the Associated Press’s former vice president of media relations, wrote in 2013 that “we had in other areas been ridding the Stylebook of labels. The new section on mental health issues argues for using credibly sourced diagnoses instead of labels. Saying someone was ‘diagnosed with schizophrenia’ instead of ‘schizophrenic,’ for example.

“And that discussion about labeling people, instead of behavior, led us back to ‘illegal immigrant’ again.”

“We concluded that to be consistent, we needed to change our guidance.”

The terminology remains a subject of hot debate among journalists and readers.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Willy Mays’ glove and a hall of the game’s most iconic jerseys to take visitors through the evolution of the game.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for baseball fans,” said Jason Hanson, chief creative officer of the History Colorado Center and longtime baseball fan. “You can make the pilgrimage to Cooperstown (to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum). But if you can’t do that this year, you will feel pretty satisfied if you can make it to downtown Denver.

“You can start from something people already love and help them understand how it fits into bigger currents of American history, bigger currents of Colorado’s history — and that is a really effective way to help people appreciate our shared history together,” Hanson added.

The exhibit explores the game throughout time and draws parallels with significant events in American history, such as World War II and the Civil Rights movement. Learn how Babe Ruth paved the way for celebrities we know today like Kim Kardashian.

Walk through some of the highest and lowest points of the game and some of baseball’s most infamous names like the 1919 Black Sox and the notorious heroes of the steroid era.

The exhibit recently displayed the Holy Grail of baseball cards, the rare, mint 1952 Mickey Mantle card. The card is one of three in the world and, of

those three, is considered to be the most pristine. Another version of the card is valued at almost $60,000 at Pennsylvania-based Steel City Collectibles. The display was only open for three days to keep the card preserved.

“At a time when America was in turmoil, baseball games crossed all socio-economic, ethnic and political barriers and always brought people together. It still does,” said Marshall Fogel, the lifelong Denver man and owner of the collection and Mantle card. “When I think about this Mickey Mantle baseball card, I hold this same nostalgic feeling.”

The exhibit takes visitors on a journey of the game’s history and doesn’t finish without acknowledging the unsung stars of the Negro League or taking a look back at the history of the game in the Centennial State. Of course, there’s also a nod to the 2007 Colorado Rockies, who reached the World Series but were swept by the Boston Red Sox. “We hope that this exhibit helps people remember how much fun it is to ... hang out with friends and family and watch a baseball game,” Hanson said.

There is, Fogel concurred, nothing better.

“Baseball is the only sport of a singular hero – everything else is a team,” he said. “When you are a baseball player, you are up at the plate with nine enemies facing you, and when the ball comes at you in one-quarter of a second, it’s only you who can hit that ball. Just you. And, I think about the field ... it’s a place you can go and look at a beautiful, perfect scene, and let everything go.”

Dealerships hope to fill vehicles with school supplies Annual ‘Stuff for Students’ drive to help provide classroom essentials to children in need STAFF REPORT

Throughout August, Larry H. Miller Dealerships will try to fill a car, truck or SUV at each of its showrooms with school supplies such as backpacks, pencils, highlighters, scissors, binders, rulers, calculators and lunch bags.

A joint effort among the dealerships, Denver’s 9News and Volunteers of America Colordo Branch, the 17th annual “Stuff for Students” school supply drive will benefit pre-kindergarten to high school students in more than 15 school districts in Colorado.

“One of the greatest investments we can make as a company is in our youth,” Ray Reilly, senior vice president of operations at Larry H. Miller Dealerships, said in a news release.

“By participating in ‘Stuff for Students,’ we’ve been able to ensure that local students have the tools they need to succeed in school. Our incredible customers and employees have helped us collect nearly $50,000 in school supplies for the last four years, and we look forward to a successful 2018.”

“Stuff for Students” collection bins will be set up at Larry H. Miller locations in Denver, Aurora, Centennial, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Thornton, Federal Heights and Boulder. In addition, monetary contributions can be made through Volunteers of America online at http://www.voacolorado.org/ news_and_events/stuff-for-students.

In Colorado school districts, nearly 25,000 pupils enrolled in public schools have been identified as experiencing homelessness, the release said.

“The teacher walkouts seen around the country this year highlight how dramatically underfunded public schools can be,” said Bradley Gulley, director of volunteer services at Volunteers of America Colorado.

Fly fishing uses different techniques than spin casting.

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Fishing lets troubles fly away Learning skills opens door to magic of moving water

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fly fishing is different.

Most of the time it requires using a fly rod and an artificial fly on typically moving water. Casting the weightless fly using a specialized line is different and entails different techniques and skills from spin casting.

Spin fishing is simpler, while fly fishing takes more learning and practice. Spin fishing is more prevalent in lakes and ponds while fly fishing is more widespread on rivers and streams. And then it is vital to know how to tie knots and choose the correct flies to use for certain locations and conditions.

Fly fishing can be intimidating for beginners.

“It’s a specialty sport but anybody can do it,” said Rick Typher, who owns Denver Angler in Centennial.

“The best way to start is to take classes. You can have friends try and teach you but they are there to fish. The best way is to take a class, and we do everything from casting, knots, what flies and reading rivers.”

Brian Byerly is a Golden High

WHERE TO FLY FISH NEAR THE DENVER AREA The following suggestions are from www.denver. org, the website for Visit Denver, a nonprofit trade

association that markets metro Denver as a convention and leisure destination:

School graduate who is a former fly fishing guide for Orvis.

“I would totally agree that fly fishing is a specialty sport,” he said. “It takes patience and time to learn. It’s not like regular spin fishing, where you put on bait and throw it out there and wait for fish to come eat it. Fly fishing you have to match different hatches, different times and there are different ways of reading water and presenting flies.

“Some flies are on top of the water and some are below the surface.

There is a skill involved that is different from every other kind of fishing.”

Byerly revealed he catered to mostly beginners on his tours.

“Most of the people, probably 75 percent were beginners,” he added.

“You take the time and teach them right and they catch on. It does take time. Different people learn at different paces. But people absolutely catch on.”

Vince Coleman and his son Jake work for Alpine Tackle Supply in Centennial and have been fly fishing and working in the industry for years.

“I find fly fishing to be the most

• South Platte River • Clear Creek • Blue River • Colorado River

therapeutic thing ever,” said Vince.

“You fish rivers more than lakes and there is something about standing in the moving water, the noise, the sound of the water flowing through your legs and you pretty much just get taken away by the river.

“If you troll for four hours it can be boring. You are waiting for something to happen. In fly fishing a lot of time it is visual. You are always moving. It’s kind of a little hunting involved with it. You can see that fish and you are trying to fool that fish. You are watching your fly come down the river and watch the fish come up slowly and take it.”

Jake Coleman admits he plays second fiddle to his dad when it comes to catching fish.

“Some days we’ll go fishing and I’ll watch Dad catch fish and I won’t catch anything but it’s not a bad day.

I spent all day hanging out in the water.

“Fly fishing is more technical. I’m huge on sight fishing. I’m going to find a pond with trout and I can see all the fish. I’m not going to fish a big lake where you cast and hope for the best.”

arly August is an enjoyable couple weeks for those athletes that have spent time all summer preparing for the upcoming fall sports seasons.

It is a tranquil time because everybody and every team is equal.

No team or OVERTIME individual has lost and nobody K has won. All the preseason a prognostications c are just specula- e tive based mostlyU on last season’s b T observations.

Still, everybodyn likes to read Jim Benton about preseason t t rankings, and it appears Mountain Vista’s cross country teams c will once again be good after the Golden Eagles swept the Class 5A state championships last year.

Mile Split recently ranked the nation’s top girls and boys 5K cross country teams for the upcoming 2018 fall season based on times of the top-returning runners from 2017.

Mountain Vista’s girls were ranked third in the nation behind Wayzata (Minnesota) and Jesuit (Oregon). The average time of five Golden Eagles returning runners (Jenna Fitzsimmons, Caroline Eck, Sarah O’Sullivan, Madison Reed and Makenna Anderson) was 17:59.20. Wayzata’s average time of returning runners was 17:46.19 and Jesuit’s average was 17:57.90.

Fitzsimmons captured last season’s Class 5A individual girls championship, Eck was second and O’Sullivan was sixth. Fitzsimmons and O’Sullivan will be juniors this fall and Eck a senior.

Battle Mountain’s girls were 18th in the 5K rankings and Valor Christian’s returning runners were 41st with an average time of 18:48.44 for returnees Riley Irwin, Keely Jones, Taylor Whitfield, Kindyll Wetta and Emma Sees.

Mountain Vista’s boys were ranked 48th in the country with an average time of 16:18.00 in the 5K division with Ethan Rouse, Jack O’Sullivan, Brody Dempsey, Seth Rouse and Aaron Hart listed as underclassmen last season.

Durango’s boys were 28th.

ATTACK

“I’m so thankful there were people around that ultimately were able to protect me.”

A Littleton resident, who asked that her name not be used for privacy reasons, had stopped on the adjacent bike trail and said she saw Ursini “stumble” out from the woods. She helped Ursini while a friend called police. Patrol officers and a paramedic were on scene in about five minutes, the resident said.

Ursini was taken to a local hospital and was released July 26.

“It was very unsettling that this could happen,” the resident who helped Ursini said. “And it happened so close to the bike trail.”

A post in April on the Denver Police Department’s Facebook page said he was wanted in connection for an attempted sexual assault.

On the same post, Denver police said Harris had a criminal history ranging from sexual assault to DUI to harassment.

Colorado Community Media’s policy is not to name victims of sexual assault without their permission, which Ursini gave when contacted. She wrote in her Facebook post that she wanted to share her story to increase awareness among friends and family.

“I am putting this post up to remind each and every one of you, please be aware of your surroundings at all times. Even if you have been on your local path, your grocery store parking lot, or anywhere 100 times, danger can exist anywhere,” she wrote.

Cyclists apprehend suspect, help victim Ursini was walking her dog at about 8:30 a.m. on July 25 on the Mary Carter Greenway, an eight-mile trail that runs along the South Platte River from Chatfield State Park to Englewood, according to a news release from the Littleton Police Department.

The area is near Reynolds Landing, off South Santa Fe Drive, between West Mineral and West Bowles avenues in Littleton.

It was a loop Ursini took regularly, she wrote in her Facebook post. She

Vanessa Ursini shares photos of her injuries on social media after a man attacked her while she was walking her dog on a popular trail near South Platte Park in Littleton.

The incident occurred on July 25 and the suspect is in custody.

COURTESY PHOTO passed a man she recognized from the day before.

“He didn’t make eye contact with me and I got a very strange vibe,” she wrote.

Apparently knowing where she was headed, the suspect cut through the woods to get to the other side of the loop, she wrote. She passed him and said, “Excuse me.”

“About 30 seconds later I noticed him very close behind me,” she wrote. “I saw he had a rope in his hands and at that point he was too close to try and put any distance between us.”

The suspect put a rope around

Ursini’s neck, threatening to kill her if she screamed, according to the arrest affidavit. He then dragged her into the bushes.

Ursini fought back, knocking off the suspect’s glasses, the affidavit says. She screamed as her dog tried to also fight off the suspect, she wrote in her post.

The suspect tied her up, and while he was looking for his glasses, she managed to sit up, reach the knot around her ankles and free herself, she wrote.

She ran to the bike path.

“A man on a bike chased him down and was able to restrain him until police arrived,” Ursini wrote in her post.

Awareness key in being safe Cmdr. Trent Cooper, public information officer for the Littleton Police Department, emphasized the trail has always been safe. In his 20 years at the department, he hasn’t seen an attack like this one near South Platte Park.

The portion of Mary Carter Greenway “is always busy,” he said. And “it really is a safe environment down there for everybody. Bad things happen to good people all the time and, unfortunately, there is no way to completely safeguard yourself from something happening.”

Cooper advises trail users to be aware of their surroundings. Pay attention to red flags, such as a suspicious person or situation. Avoid going into isolated areas alone. Use the trail during daylight hours.

“Always be aware of your surroundings,” Cooper said. “Pay attention to things that catch your attention.”
