Boulder police: Teen girl with special needs missing
Jul 23rd
Police searching for missing 19-year-old special needs female
Boulder police are asking the public for help in locating a 19-year-old Hispanic female who was last seen in the 1500 block of Yarmouth St. around 2:15 p.m. today, July 23, 2013.
The missing woman is Erin Huss, who functions at about the level of a 7-year-old child. She may not seem developmentally disabled upon first contact. Huss gets lost easily.
A witness at the location where Huss was last seen says she got into an older red pick-up truck. The truck was small with an open bed (no camper shell). There are garden tools in the back of the truck. The driver is described as a male in his forties, with glasses and a mustache, who was wearing a black shirt and white pants.
Huss is 5’6” tall and weighs 125 pounds. She has distinctive hair coloring, which is black with streaks of blonde. Her eyes are brown and she was wearing a blue and white sailor-style shirt with dark blue jeans and flip flops. She may also be wearing black and silver over-the-ear type headphones.
Police are actively looking for Huss because she has been known to take rides from strangers. She’s disappeared in the past, and police don’t have any information about what may have occurred during those occasions.
Huss is from Alamosa, but lives in Golden.
Anyone who knows where Huss is or where she might be located is asked to contact Boulder police at 303.441.3333.

Buff Asst. La Crosse Coach Nielsen Claims Bronze Medal At World Cup
Jul 22nd
OSHAWA, Ontario – For the ninth consecutive time since the Federation of International Lacrosse Women’s Lacrosse World Cup began in 1982, Australia is taking home a medal – its first bronze since the 1993 games.
After ending pool play with a 2-2 record, Australia entered the Championship Bracket a No. 3 seed. In the quarterfinals, Australia easily took down Scotland 26-2. In a rematch with the host team in the semifinals, Australia suffered only its second ever loss to Canada at the World Cup. With the loss behind them, Australia was determined to keep its medal-winning streak alive and was victorious in the bronze medal game, defeating England 12-6.
University of Colorado assistant lacrosse coach Hannah Nielsen has now won one of each medal in her three World Cup appearances with the Australian National Team. The Adelaide, Australia native has also earned a spot on the All-World Team at back-to-back Cups. In 2005, Nielsen scored a key goal to push Australia over the United States in the Gold Medal game. In 2009, she led the team with 12 goals and 13 assists as the Aussies fell by a single goal to the U.S. in the title game. In the 2013 games, she led the team with 24 total points, including 10 goals and 12 assists.
“I am so proud of Hannah and all she has accomplished not only in this last World Cup, but her entire lacrosse career,” CU head lacrosse coach Ann Elliott said. “To be able to play in the World Cup and represent your home country is such an incredible honor and one I know Hannah cherishes and works extremely hard for. This particular World Cup was a difficult one for Hannah as their team had to overcome the loss of one of their leaders, Jen Adams, to an ACL tear right before the tournament started. However, to watch Hannah battle through that and step up to help lead her team to the bronze medal and making the All-World Team was extremely special and I could not be more proud of all she has worked for and achieved.”
Quarterfinals (Thursday, July 18): Australia allowed just two goals against Scotland to advance to the semifinals. The No. 3 seeded Aussies stomped No. 11 seed Scotland 26-2 in the highest scoring game of the first two rounds of the Championship Bracket. Australia came out on a 9-0 run, not allowing a Scottish goal until nearly the halfway point in the first half. Scotland would not score again until the final 15 seconds of the match. Australia outshot Scotland 38-6 and forced 24 Scottish turnovers. Nielsen scored two goals and contributed a game-high four assists in the win.
Semifinals (Friday, July 19): Host team Canada marked several firsts during the 2013 World Cup. They earned their first ever win against Australia in World Cup play with a 13-12 pool play victory. In the teams’ rematch in the semifinals, Canada picked up its second, downing Australia 11-7 to advance to its first final. Just as she did in their first match-up, Nielsen tied for a team-high in scoring, netting two goals and contributing an assist. Canada dominated the offense, outshooting Australia 21-9 in the first-half alone on their way to 34 total shots, compared to the Aussies’ 28. Australia never had the lead, but Nielsen helped them get back within two late in the first half, and kept the match competitive by scoring Australia’s final two goals.
Bronze Medal Game (Saturday, July 20): Though they fell behind early against England as Sarah Taylor gave the Brits two quick goals, Australia was not content in going home empty handed. The Aussies claimed the bronze medal with a definitive 12-6 win over England. Australia led England 13-7 in both draw controls and ground balls. Nielsen tied for game-high scoring with four goals and one assist. Her first goal of the game helped the Aussies to a 4-3 lead. Her next came off a free position shot in the final minutes of the first half to help Australia take an 8-4 lead into halftime. She got the Aussies on the board again in the first 40 seconds of the second half and again with 11:19 remaining.
CU lacrosse coach Elliott was in attendance for the final three days of the tournament to support Nielsen and three other former Northwestern teammates that represented the USA.
“The World Cup is an amazing event that this year brought together 19 countries,” Elliott said. “The growth of our sport continues to amaze me.”
Australia continues to be a dominant force in women’s lacrosse, having won gold medals in 1986 and 2005 and earning four silver (1982, 1997, 2001 and 2009) and three bronze (1989, 1993 and 2013) medals. With a 19-5 championship victory this year, rival United States won its second straight and seventh overall World Cup title. In its first ever title game, Canada capped its most successful World Cup tournament with a silver medal.

Open Space/Mountain Park news
Jul 22nd
Beginning today, July 22, Community Ditch Trail will be closed at State Highway 93. The closure is likely to last for most of the next year in order to facilitate the installation of an underpass that will allow trail users to cross SH 93 without mixing with highway traffic. All trails in the area will remain open for use, but may offer only an out and back experience during the closure. There will be extensive construction activity in the area of the underpass and the department asks that all users respect the closure and avoid the construction zone for their and other’s safety. Traffic on SH 93 will also be affected. However, the highway will remain open during construction with various lane restrictions.

Work to begin on underpass on Community Ditch Trail at State Highway 93
The City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) department announced today that work will begin on the long-awaited underpass on Community Ditch Trail at State Highway 93 (Hwy. 93) on Monday, July 22. When completed, trail users will cross under Hwy. 93 rather than mixing with traffic on the highway.
The underpass is one part of a larger Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) project. Hwy. 93, from State Highway 170 to State Highway 128, will also be widened to create wider shoulders and be overlain with new asphalt. The work will be done by a CDOT contractor.
The underpass is expected to be in use by July of next year. Vehicular traffic will be affected by the construction work with some lane closures. However, the highway will remain open for the duration of the construction work.
“OSMP has wanted to create a safer crossing of 93 for many years. Safety for our trail users is a priority, and we are excited to learn that installation will begin next week,” said Jim Reeder, OSMP division manager. “We anticipate that more users will begin to explore and enjoy the Community Ditch Trail once this project is complete.”
While the underpass is being built, however, existing users should know that the existing crossing via Hwy. 93 will be closed. This means that several trails will temporarily become out-and-back trails, starting on July 22. Individuals can check the department’s website at www.osmp.org for information about which trails are affected.
For more information, call OSMP at 303-441-3440.¡¡ Additional information can also be found on www.osmp.org.
