AUSTIN (KXAN) -- People walking and riding their bikes are getting hit by cars more often, and at an alarming rate throughout Texas, data from the Texas Department of Transportation shows. While the statistical spike is concerning for those who rely on walking or riding next to cars, they are a painful reminder to families who've lost a loved one. That includes the family of Alexei Bauereris. A driver hit the 14-year-old boy while he walked back to his northwest Austin home in 2016. Alexei Bauereris was hit and killed by a car when he was 14-years-old. (Courtesy: Bauereris family)"He had a great life ahead of him," his mother Anna Bauereris said. "He was a gentleman, he was a godly man, and he made a difference in our community."At 10:13 p.m. on a June night, Alexei was walking through a crosswalk. Despite a flashing yellow light, the oncoming driver didn't yield or slow down before hitting and killing him. "He really reached out and made friends wherever he went, whether it was sch...

Is Nuggets forward Zeke Nnaji, back from shoulder injury, the answer to Denver’s bench unit?

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 11:20:43 GMT

NEW YORK – Nuggets coach Michael Malone waffled and hedged before settling on a satisfying response.Asked on Sunday afternoon whether he was still in “search mode” when it came to Denver’s bench unit, Malone was as honest as he could be with 10 games left in the regular season.“I guess if I don’t know that means yes, right?” he said.But the veteran coach knows far more than he initially conceded. On Sunday, Denver’s bench included Bruce Brown, Jeff Green and Christian Braun, and featured the return of Zeke Nnaji, who hadn’t played in six weeks due to a shoulder injury. It also, briefly, included Reggie Jackson, who was called upon once Braun got in quick foul trouble.“That second unit (was) defensively, more athletic and versatile,” Malone said of Nnaji’s availability.Despite Denver’s 108-102 win, its second unit got outscored 36-15.The trade deadline additions of Thomas Bryant (DNP – coach’s decision) and Jackson have been largely ineffective, but Malone said he was compelled...

Editorial: Fund Denver Health like your life depends on it

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 11:20:43 GMT

Denver Health cannot fail.The safety-net hospital and regional Level 1 Trauma Center is in a dire financial position with the cost of providing care – especially for those with no means to pay — outstripping the revenue coming in.The state stepped up and has allocated $5 million in the 2023 budget to shore up Denver Health’s budget, but it is not enough.Providing life-saving care for those who cannot pay is a moral imperative. Denver Health not only saves lives with expert trauma care for car crash and gun violence victims, but the hospital is a last resort for uninsured individuals with chronic, treatable illnesses like homeless individuals or undocumented Coloradans with diabetes, renal failure or cancer.The City of Denver has long recognized the civic good of having a public hospital and has propped up the hospital’s operations with additional funding. Taxpayers may not realize the good of a publicly funded hospital until their moment of most dire need when their insurance ...
