FORMERLY TLC MEALS ON WHEELS
Nourish the Spirit
Nourish the Body
Family is very important to me. Meals on Wheels is very much like immediate family and the people we deliver to are like extended family.
Our clients really thrive on this food — for some, these are their only meals. Seniors know what they like, and they know what they don’t like. We spend at least an hour every day preparing special meals for clients that have allergies, need their food pureed, cut up, or have special preferences. That comes before we do the regular pack-out for the day. We serve the food directly into the trays, seal them, label them and put them directly into delivery bags for our drivers.
One couple that I deliver to got married in 1952. She is French and he’s an American, and they got married in Paris. They live in this townhome now here in the South Denver-Metro area. They said we are the reason that they have been able to stay in this house and remain independent for the last 30 years. 30 years! And, for a lot of these people, we may be the only ones they see during the day — we may be their only caretakers. It just really feels good to be able to help.

Hot, Nutritious Meals Delivered Every Weekday
Nourish the Mind FirstBank has been involved with NOURISH Meals on Wheels since 1998. Throughout the years we’ve served on the Board, and have had groups of employees volunteering as drivers and volunteering in the kitchen on Wednesdays.
More than just a meal
I became involved when they were looking for somebody with human resources experience to serve on the Board — and that was me. So I started with a ride-along on a route and couldn’t believe how much of an impact these meals and the personal connection made in the clients’ lives. I was sold from that first route. There’s just such a wide array of opportunities — it’s the perfect forum for our officers and employees to help people, build relationships, and show how much we care about our community.
There is a protocol and lineup of how we do things and you do it that same way every single day. Which is why it gets out the door, nice and hot, ready to go.

Each day is as unique as the people we serve, and our Meals on Wheels drivers arrive at each destination with more than food. They pay attention to daily details like a neighbor’s birthday and notice the little things — an uneaten meal, an unanswered door, a bad cough. Isolation is dissolved with the ring of each doorbell and our driver’s familiar smile. And, with our wellness and safety checks, our clients know someone cares, is paying attention and will be their advocate by taking action when something’s amiss. We nourish the spirit of our seniors by giving them someone to look forward to, the support they need to stay at home, and the gift of prolonged purpose in their lives.

After four decades, justice finally arrived for Sylvia Quayle BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENT REPORTER
Nothing could assuage the horror of the day in early August 1981 when 34-yearold Sylvia Quayle’s lifeless body was discovered by her father in her home in the 3800 block of South Ogden Street in Cherry Hills Village (CHV). He had come to check on her after she didn’t show up for coffee with her parents in the morning as was their regular custom. According to prosecutors, Sylvia had been “raped, stabbed multiple times, and shot in the head.” In a press conference on February 25, 2021, then-CHV Police Chief Michelle Tovrea described Sylvia Quayle as someone who “was ambitious, friendly, vibrant, and lit up the room when she walked in.” Tovrea added, “She was a very good cook and opened

These are photos of the suspect, David Dwayne Anderson, in 1980 and on February 10, 2021 when he was arrested in Nebraska for the murder of Sylvia Quayle.
Sylvia’s sister and brother-inlaw were still CHV residents in 2021 and in communication with the police department when Sylvia’s killer was arrested but did not wish to speak publicly. Authorities were able to determine that the assailant had broken in through a window in the home that had been pried open, then cut the telephone line so his victim could not call for help. Two years later, a serial killer named Ottis Toole, who was already in jail for another murder, confessed to the crime. There seemed to be no reason not to believe him. He wasn’t charged with Sylvia’s murder, so his story was never scrutinized. Not charging him also had the effect of leaving the case open. In 2000, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation submitted a DNA sample from the crime scene to the FBI’s combined DNA database. It remained there unidentified for two decades. In January 2020, United Data Connect (UDC), a company founded by former Den-
ver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey that uses DNA in forensic science analysis for familial searches and other investigations, including criminal cold cases, began to look into Sylvia’s murder. UDC teamed up with Metro Crime Stoppers and searched public databases for a DNA match to the evidence collected from the crime scene in 1981. They also brought in CHV Police Department Detective Lenny Abeyta and18th Judicial District Investigator Matt Hanagan to help put the case together. When they had narrowed the list of suspects to one individual, David Dwayne Anderson, who was about 21 and lived in the area at the time, they did some old-fashioned gumshoe detective work, including retrieving a discarded Coke can from Anderson’s trash at his home in a small town in southwest Nebraska. The DNA on the soda can was a match to the DNA from the crime scene. Anderson was arrested in Nebraska in February 2021 and waived extradition back
to Colorado, where he was charged with first-degree murder after deliberation and first-degree felony murder. 18th Judicial District Deputy District Attorney Grant Grosgebauer, one of the prosecutors on the case, said about Anderson, “For more than 40 years, the defendant carried with him a dark secret, a secret that was finally revealed during this trial.” A trial on the two murder counts in March 2022 ended with a hung jury. 18th Judicial District prosecutors retried the case again three months later and on June 30, a jury found the defendant guilty of both murder counts. Anderson, who is 62, will be sentenced on August 4 under the law that was in effect when the crime occurred, which is expected to result in a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 20 years. John Kellner, 18th Judicial District Attorney, said after the verdict was reached, “When we first started our Cold Case Unit in 2013, this is a case most people said would never be solved. But time and science march on, leading us to justice today.” He continued, “This verdict should give hope to all those who are still waiting for justice and for any killer who thinks they got away, know that we are still coming for you.” fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

Greenwood Village ended 2021 with $62 million in the bank, up $11 million from 2020, as its population declined BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENT REPORTER
According to the City of Greenwood Village Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for the year ended December 31, 2021, the city ended last year with a “combined fund balance of $61,882,679, representing an increase of $10,842,413 when compared to the prior year.” Approximately 63.4% of the fund balance, or $39,219,288 is available for spending at the city’s discretion. It is not legally restricted,
committed, or assigned to any specific purpose. The report points out that, during 2021, as COVID-19 restrictions were lifted, the city’s sales tax collections increased 20% over the prior year, its use tax collections increased 14% and its lodging taxes increased 40%. It further states that general fund expenditures in 2021 decreased by approximately 15% from 2020 through continued cost-containment efforts due to economic uncertainty, and expenditures were 7% below the amount that was actually budgeted.
Greenwood Village derives 62% of its revenues from sales and use taxes compared to only 7% from property taxes. The remainder is received from a combination of other taxes, grants, franchise fees and charges for services. The city’s expenses are reported by department, rather than category. In 2021, its public works department accounted for 45% of GV’s total expenses. The police department absorbed 23% of all expenses, with the balance being used for general government (17%), culture and recreation (9%) and lastly, community
development (6%). Midway through 2021, GV appropriated just under $400,000 to give its employees cost-of-living raises for the second half of the year. In the area of capital fund expenditures, GV originally budgeted $10.8 million for 2021, later raising that amount to $15.6 million. As of December 31, 2021, only $7.5 million had been spent on capital projects. Of that total, $5.2 million was spent on regularly scheduled pavement rehabilitation and replacement, $1.4 million was spent on recreation projects and just under
$500,000 was spent on city hall renovation. Demographic information included in the report shows that GV’s population was trending upward until 2016. It began to decline in 2017. By 2021, it was the lowest it had been in seven years. Similarly, elementary school enrollment for children living in GV reached its height in 2016 and has been steadily declining since. The actual number of GV children enrolled in elementary school went down 20% between 2016 and 2021. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Independence Day has passed with the usual celebrations and festivities. Mountain highways were packed with natives and tourists heading to the many cool Rocky Mountain retreats. We all live in such a beautiful state and it behooves us to become familiar with so many unique attractions across the entire state. July 4th is special for me, growing up on a very rural ranch in far Northwest Colorado. A place described in John Rolfe Burroughs’ book, “Where the Old West Stayed Young.” I was born into a pioneer ranching family, with five uncles who were all cowboys, following in the footsteps of their father, Patrick Sweeney. He was an Irish immigrant from County Cork who arrived in America in 1865 and homesteaded in the Axial Basin west of Craig. He and his later arrival immigrant wife Mary, “proved-up” on their 160acre homestead. Later they were fortunate to purchase a larger ranch 10 miles away along the Yampa River with
abundant water and natural hay fields. The ranch was located along a wagon route from Wyoming, thru Meeker, to Rifle, where the first interstate train route was located. The boys chased and roped wild horses that were the main source for transportation and ranch work. Larger “Perchen” teams were used for the heavy wagon hauling of lumber from nearby forests and hauling loads of summer hay. As a tot, I would greet the hay crews in the summer as they wiped the blood off of the work horses’ bodies from the massive number of mosquitos that thrived and swarmed along the river and cattail slews and irrigation ditches. The mosquitos were a terrible pest and swarmed around ranch workers who irrigated the fields. Early pioneers had devised a water irrigation system of ditches devised from building a tunnel flowing large amounts of precious water to the hay meadows. The hay was harvested to feed
the cattle through the long subzero winters and deep snow found in N.W. Colorado. My father always had a team of horses and a sled to plow through the deep snow to feed the rugged Hereford cattle. They could withstand the cold if they could receive the hay and have the ice cut from the river for drinking water. My grandfather Patrick, who lived to be 100 years old, arrived in New York City when the city was draped in black in 1865 for the assassination of president Abraham Lincoln. He worked his way west driving teams of horses building railroads, eventually homesteading for the free government land Homestead Act. I have a copy of his original homestead somewhere in my boxes of family documents. He passed away in the 1930s so I never met him or Mary. My cowboy father married the Maybell schoolteacher who was raised in Leadville and graduated from Greeley Teacher’s Col-

lege. She received a teaching certificate and took her first job in 1916 as the sole teacher in Maybell, Colorado, 30 miles west of Craig where she taught all grade levels through the 8th grade to local ranch boys and girls. My father had just returned from World War l and swept the school marm off her feet. The five brothers loved to dance and would ride miles on horseback to attend dances and ride all night to return home. The river ranch was about 15 miles to the tiny Maybell community that had a dance hall. I learned at an early age that a horse can trot all day, but tires if galloped. Four of the brothers married, one remained a bachelor, never leaving the home ranch. The Irish clan flourished and had large herds of cattle and horses. As a brother would marry the family would purchase another area ranch, eventually owning thousands of acres of land and large herds of livestock. TO BE CONTINUED.

Local youth tackle conservation projects in Colorado’s outdoors Applications are open for Mile High Youth Corps’ (MHYC) Land Conservation Fall Trail or Forestry Program. MHYC is searching for positive, hardworking individuals between the ages of 18 and 24 to spend 10-13 weeks this fall serving on environmental stewardship projects throughout Colorful Colorado. During their season, crews will complete more than 30 conservation projects spanning 23 counties and make profound impact on the community, the environment, and themselves. Mile High Youth Corps’ Land Conservation Program is rooted in the tradition of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s and is devoted to the improvement and sustainable development of our two most important resources - youth and the environment. Youth participants, called Corpsmembers, are assigned to a crew that works on a variety of conservation-focused projects on public lands. These include construction and maintenance of recreational and safety access trails, habitat restoration, fire fuel mitigation, historical preservation and park development projects. Corpsmembers earn a bi-weekly sti-
pend, and are enrolled in AmeriCorps, earning a scholarship to be used towards advancing their learning after the program. They also receive up to 4 free mental health counseling sessions. Corpsmembers have opportunities to network with federal, state and local natural source professionals and access to a
vast alumni network. Corpsmembers will also receive training in one or more stewardship skillsets, including chainsaw operation, trail building and maintenance and pesticide application. No experience is necessary, MHYC provides hands-on training related to all projects. Corpsmembers receive industry-recognized certifications that lead to effective service and highly- desirable qualifications and experience that support opportunities for future employment in natural resource management. “As Corpsmembers complete their terms and move on, often to careers in conservation, the
lessons learned remain with them,” said Jesse Roehm, Director: Land Conservation for Mile High Youth Corps. “Their futures are stamped with greater knowledge and understanding of environmental concerns impacting Colorado’s natural resources. These experiences are passed on to friends and family and help to create life- long environmental stewards for generations to come.” Project partners scheduled for the fall include: • Adams County Parks and Open Space • Aurora Parks, Recreation and Open Space • Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks
• Cañon City Area Recreation and Park District • Castlewood Canyon State Park Cheyenne Mountain State Park • Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety • Colorado Open Lands • Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services • Denver Parks & Recreation • Denver Water • Fishers Peak State Park • Green Mountain Falls • Florissant Fossil Beds National • Monument • HistoriCorps • Lake Pueblo State Park • Lakewood Parks, Forestry and Open • Space • Manitou Springs • Pueblo State Fish Hatchery • Trinidad • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service • US Forest Service: - Pikes Peak Ranger • District • US Forest Service: - San Carlos Ranger • District • Westminster Open Space If you are between the ages of 18 and 24 and looking to make a difference, please consider joining Mile High Youth Corps for the fall season and earn while you learn.

It is final -- GV will not allow any more gun stores in homes BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENT REPORTER
On July 11, the Greenwood Village City Council passed on second and final reading an amendment to its zoning code to prohibit any new retail firearms stores in residential homes in the city. The vote was 5-3, exactly as it was on the first reading on June 6, with City Council Members Anne Ingebretsen, Donna Johnston, Libby Barnacle, Tom Stahl, and Judy Hilton voting in favor of
First to speak was a person who wished to be identified by her first name only and the fact that she is a resident of GV district one because, she said,“After the last meeting where one of our constituents said she had received a lot of threats by having her name and her address…” the prohibition. Councilmembers Dave Kerber, Dave Bullock, and Paul Wiesner voted to permit additional retail gun stores in GV homes without limitation. There were at least a dozen people at the city council meeting who had an interest in this ordinance. Several were wearing red Moms Demand Action T-shirts. Three people asked to speak and Mayor Lantz permitted them to do so, even though the customary practice of the GV City Council is to only allow public testimony on an ordinance on its first reading, which occurred on June 6. First to speak was a person who wished to be identified by her first name only and the fact that she is a resident of GV district one because, she said, “After the last meeting where one of our constituents said she had received a lot of threats by having her name and her address…” The subject she wished to address, she told Mayor Lantz, was how, at the June 6 meet-
ing on the first reading of this zoning change to prohibit new retail gun stores in GV homes, “Rules of discussion were set forth by you, Mr. Mayor, and not followed by some of our councilmembers. What you had said was that we would be discussing the proposed zoning code and not firearms in general. I think that the constituents who spoke did a pretty good job in following that.” She then noted statements made by Council Member Wiesner, including, “That the (proposed zoning change) eliminates the individual freedom to go to ‘this type of setting’ to purchase a gun.” She continued, “I would say to that, that we’ve eliminated the rights of a lot of our residents to buy marijuana in our city, to bring a child to a home daycare center unless approved by an HOA, to bring your car to a residential auto repair maintenance business. We restrict short-term rentals, we have rules about solar energy systems. Most of these things are legal in other communities, in the city of Denver, and in our state.” She went on, “As Mr. Wiesner also said, eliminating neighborhood gun store businesses won’t stop people from buying guns. They could just go to Cabela’s (a local retail store that sells firearms and ammunition). I say, point made, problem solved. Just like buying marijuana in a neighboring community, taking your child to someone else for child care, having your car repaired at a trusted place that is zoned for that activity, you still have the ability to have your needs met. We have restricted things in our city for what we view as the safety and well-being of our community.” She also pointed to Wiesner’s statement that “mental illness was the root of gun violence,” which, she pointed out, “was not a zoning ordinance consideration that was to be discussed,” nor was it “a fact or a research-based statistic.” Having used the three minutes that a speaker is allotted by GV policy, she closed with, “And when surveying your constituents in the future, Mr. Wiesner, I would ask if you would ever consider going outside of Green Oaks (his neighborhood). I would love to be part of your polling.” The following day, the speaker sent an email to the mayor and council that contained the balance of the statement she had intended to make, had she not run out of time. She also sent it to us. In it, she pointed out that Council Member Dave Kerber said, “That we are safe to live in a neighborhood with a police officer because they will go and get their gun to protect the neighborhood.” In the speaker’s opinion, that was,
“an outlandish statement.” She continued, “I hope they call 911 and don’t put themselves or their neighbors in jeopardy.” Based on that and other state-
“People can get guns anywhere but selling them out of their homes in Greenwood Village goes too far.” He also said, “If there is a lawsuit brought over this, our law firm, Burg, Simpson, Eldredge, Hersh & Jardine, P.C., would be more than happy to work with the city attorney to fight such a lawsuit and we would be happy to do that without charging… I just think it is the right thing to do for community.” – Michael Burg, a local attorney ments made by Kerber, she said that she believed his comments, “encourage and promote vigilantism.” She also referenced other statements he made that she said were “very offensive” and had “nothing to do with the zoning issue at hand.” Likewise, her email questioned Council Member Bullock suggesting that he knew “a person who has 120 guns in (their home) in GV…(who) will be part of the solution not the problem,” and stated, “I welcome you also to include me in the whole of district 1 in the future when you want to know what the whole of the district you represent wants for their community.”
As she wrapped up her testimony, Bullock told her, “We would be more than happy to meet with you.” Later in the meeting, Jason Pratt, owner of Tomcat Tactical, a retail gun store in GV district three, and Michael Burg, a local attorney and resident of GV district three, also spoke. Mr. Burg expressed his appreciation to the council members who supported the change to the zoning code to prohibit any more retail gun stores in homes in GV, offering his opinion that, “People can get guns anywhere but selling them out of their homes in Greenwood Village goes too far.” He also said, “If there is a lawsuit brought over this, our law firm, Burg, Simpson, Eldredge, Hersh & Jardine, P.C., would be more than happy to work with the city attorney to fight such a lawsuit and we would be happy to do that without charging… I just think it is the right thing to do for community.” After the meeting ended, The Villager asked Mr. Burg what made him offer to defend the city in the event it is sued over the change in the zoning code to prohibit new retail gun stores in GV homes. He told us, “We are the largest law firm in Arapahoe County…I think the law is pretty clear that they (the city council) can take the action they took…I know that the city has limited funds. To the extent that we can help, we want to be able to help…We have a commitment to the community.” Last to speak was Jason Pratt, owner of Tomcat Tactical, the retail gun store in GV district three that brought the issue of residential gun stores to the attention of neighbors. He said, “Our Constitutional Republic was founded on… individual rights against the mob. By pursuing and buckling under political pressure otherwise is simply allowing for mobocracy, as our Founding Fathers called it. The realities of pre-crime and the consideration that it could happen and this could happen in order to make my business illegal or others like it, is really the worst type of science fiction… To make simply an emotional plea does not bear to the facts. We’ve heard many various testimonies, many of which include, I believe, completely fabricated statistics; some were distorted, and then, of course, many fallacious claims.” He continued, “Believe me, it will not stop here…When will you stop? You won’t. Because you can’t make a deal with the devil…I know, from a military perspective, one of the things that keeps China from coming to our homeland is because they know that we have the largest standing army in the world.

How Mineral Imbalances Make a Healthy Thyroid Look Sick! [The Role Of Minerals In Thyroid Function] My Goiter Is Gone! For years, Peggy had a visible, golf-ball-size goiter on the right side of her neck. In the first month, after starting Clinical Nutrition Therapy, her goiter began to shrink and in six months it was gone! Among its many roles, Minerals are the “Transporters” of substances our organs and glands manufacture, such as hormones, enzymes, nutrients, insulin, glucose, etc., all of which require minerals to transport them to the cells. Both mineral sufficiency and the right ratio of specific minerals are required to perform their many functions. For example, without the right ratio of Calcium to Potassium, your body cannot transport your thyroid hormones to the cells, whether that is Thyroxine (T4) or Triiodothyronine (T3), the two main hormones released by your thyroid, or the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), which is the most frequently ordered thyroid blood test. So, when you have mineral imbalances (deficiencies, excesses or imbalanced ratios) inhibiting hormone transportation to the cells, in due time, your body will produce the same symptoms as if your glands were dysfunctional, i.e., not producing sufficient thyroid hormones. You may be experiencing thyroid-related symptoms, such as anxiety, mood swings, hyperactivity, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, temperature sensitivities, muscle weakness, diarrhea, weight challenges, etc., however, in this case, the cause is not a lack of thyroid hormone production from unhealthy glands, it is a lack of minerals transporting hormones to the cells that are being produced by healthy glands. In either case, the bottom line is the cells are not receiving your thyroid hormones; therefore, they produce these symptoms to get your brain’s attention to be tested to find out why. Unfortunately, “mineral imbalances” may be overlooked when evaluating causes for hyper- or hypo-thyroid dysfunction or disease. Why? Because when hormones from your healthy thyroid glands cannot be transported to the cells due to a lack of minerals to do so, your body must send those unusable hormones to the blood so the blood can transport them to the liver and then out of the body through the kidneys and bladder. This can cause blood thyroid levels to be temporarily
higher or lower than normal until the “excess” unusable thyroid hormones have been removed from the blood. So, if your blood was tested at the same time this was happening, it could lead to the assumption that a disease of the thyroid glands is the cause. To agree to treatment based solely on a blood test, i.e., without also having tested your tissue mineral levels in your hair, you unknowingly agree to a form of treatment that may in time damage or destroy your healthy thyroid glands. I am particularly con-
cerned that this is happening to our young people, those 40 years or younger. They have not lived long enough to develop thyroid disease, unless some event has occurred, like hereditary weakness or an injury. However, they certainly have lived long enough to have mineral imbalances. A Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis (TMHA) will identify if you have mineral imbalances and whether those mineral imbalances are inhibiting hormone transportation to the cells and/or affecting thyroid hormone production, or both. So far, I have yet to test any adult who does not have mineral
imbalances. In closing, the information in this article applies to the role of minerals in transporting substances from your organs and glands, whether that is an adrenal hormone, reproductive hormone, thyroid hormone, or insulin and glucose from the pancreas, as well as their role in transporting nutrients to the cells, such as protein. Identifying the cause of your symptoms requires both a Clinical Nutrition Analysis of your Blood Chemistry Lab Reports and a Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis. In upcoming articles, I will share information you may not be aware of regarding other hormone-related topics, like andropause, menstrual syndromes and menopause. Whether you are a man suffering from erectile dysfunction, swollen or enlarged prostate, or a woman with hot flashes, night sweats, menstrual irregularity, PMS, endometriosis, or
any other hormone-related health challenge, you will want to read these articles. For a Clinical Nutrition Analysis of your blood and hair, please call me at (940) 761-4045. First Consultation Free!

“I think I’m the best power hitter on the planet,” Mets first baseman Pete Alonso proclaimed after winning his second straight Home Run Derby during All-Star Week in Denver a year ago. And he just might be—currently. Last July he became only the third player ever to win back-to-back Home Run Derbies, joining Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., who won at Coors Field and Fenway Park in 199899 (as well as 1994 in PIttsburgh, making him the only three-time champ), and Yoenis Céspedes, a former Mets outfielder who won it in 2013-14 while playing for Oakland. But the lack of humility in Alonso’s declaration ignores a key to his success—the MVP (Most Valuable Pitcher). When watching this year’s HR Derby next Monday, pay attention to those guys tossing cookies as much as you eyeball the guys trying to hit them out. The Derby MVP likely will be the difference-maker. New York bench coach Dave Jauss is the one who served up all those gopher balls to Alonso last year. And a mighty fine job he did. Alonso finished with 74 home runs, second highest total in HR Derby history. Jauss tossed about 135 pitches, which means Alonso smacked a dinger around 55% of the time. He averaged better than seven homers per official minute at the plate. All of which supports
the feeling I had going into the slug-off: that while the hitter is the star of the show, he’s only as prolific as the anonymous guy standing behind the screen in front of the mound. Alonso’s compact swing certainly played well—saving energy compared to the longer swings of all the others. That’s another thing to watch this year: who generates the most power with the least effort. But the difference was the way Jauss laid pitch after pitch in virtually the same place: right in Alonso’s swing path. A pitching machine could not have been more consistent. “He was putting it right in the breadbasket, right in the honey hole, right in the sweet spot of my swing,” Alonso eventually acknowledged. In seven head-to-head “swing-offs” the eight participants slugged 309 home runs. That’s one about every two-and-a-half pitches, or around 41%. But take away the hits and pitches of Alonso and Jauss, and the average for the other seven jumps to one almost every three pitches, or about 38%, as they sometimes reached or swung at pitches not quite where they wanted them. With his head bobbing to the sounds of the hit song “Don’t Stop Believin” by the group Journey, Alonso danced into the batter’s box in the final round and promptly clouted 23 homers—in only 30 swings. That includes 6-for-6 in the so-called “bonus round” when Alonso jumped from

17 after two minutes to the winning total of 23 with half of the extra round to go. (Three of Jauss’s pitches in this round were off the mark. One even bounced off of Alonso. But the rest were in a groove.) Jauss, now 65, is the son the late Chicago sportswriting icon Bill Jauss, who retired in 2005 after 37 years at the Chicago Tribune and died in 2012. A shortstop and team captain at Amherst, Dave Jauss was a minor league manager and coach in the Montreal Expos system from 1988 to 1994 and coordinator of minor league instruction for the Orioles in 1995. He’s been a major league coach intermittently since. He was Boston’s first base coach from 1997 through 1999), Dodgers bench coach (2006-07), Orioles bench coach (200809), twice bench coach for the Mets (2010 and again last season). He served on ex-Rockies manager Clint Hurdle’s coaching staff in Pittsburgh for seven seasons (2013-19). When he wasn’t a coach he was scouting. Twitter lit up after Alonso’s repeat—with praise for the performance of his pitcher. “Tip of the cap to Dave Jauss,” wrote Mets catcher James McCann, who called the pitching performance “unreal.” “The Mets have two horses. Jacob deGrom & Dave Jauss,” read another Tweet. And another compared Jauss to “that old dude who could hit 1000 free throws in a row.” “I don’t throw hard,” Jauss said. “But I can close my eyes and hit a spot.” Alas, Dave Jauss is no longer a Mets coach. When Buck Showalter was named New York’s manager last off-season, he brought in a new coaching staff. Dave Jauss is now Senior Advisor, Player Development, for the Washington Nationals.

How and when are claims paid by an Estate? Under Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 15-12-807 provides that one year after the decedent’s death, the Personal Representative shall proceed to pay the claims allowed against the estate in the order of priority prescribed, after making provision for family and exempt property allowances, for claims already presented which have not yet been allowed or whose allowance has been appealed, and for unbarred claims which may yet be presented, including costs and expenses of administration. By petition to the Court in a proceeding for the purpose, or by appropriate motion if the administration of the Estate is supervised, a claimant whose claim has been allowed but not paid as provided may secure an order directing the Personal Representative to pay the claim to the extent that funds of the estate are available for the payment. The Personal Representative at any time may pay any just claim which has not been barred, with or without formal presentation, but he is personally liable to any other claimant whose claim is allowed and who is injured by such payment if: a. The payment was made before the expiration of the applicable statutory time limit and the Personal Representative failed to require the payee to give adequate security for the refund of any of the

Dear Readers,
$2,000 up to $7,000. To shop for one, contact some bike shops in your area to see what they offer, or you may need to order one online. When shopping for an e-trike, pay special attention to the motor, which determines how fast it will go, and the battery, which determines how far it will go between charges. Most e-trikes can reach speeds of anywhere between 15 and 28 miles per hour, and typically go somewhere between 20 and 55 miles on a single charge, depending on how much pedaling you do. Battery charge times will vary too, ranging anywhere from 3 to 8 hours.

Gary Ray
Veteran, Pilot, Rotarian
Gary Glenn Ray of Castle Pines Village died peacefully on Thursday, June 16, 2022. Gary was born on February 8, 1936, in Amarillo, Texas to Bernice and Glenn Ray. He attended the University of Oklahoma and was a lifelong Sooners fan. While in college, Gary was an active member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and involved in the ROTC. Following graduation with a B.S. degree in Geology, Gary became a fighter pilot for the United States Air Force and later a 747 Captain for United Airlines and flight training instructor. After his retirement in 1996, Gary valued being at the airport so much that he became one of the volunteer Ambassadors for many years. Gary’s love of his career was surpassed only by the love of his family and friends. He was the beloved husband of Gayle Branigan Ray, a
loving father to his three daughters Courtney Ray, Tiffany Ray Carlson (Tim) and Shannon Ray, all of California; and stepchildren John Kenny (Castle Rock) and Kristin Kenny (Aspen). He also leaves his sisters Lynda Ray Nunez (Ignacio) and Gigi Ray and partner, Beth McHenry (Texas) and five grandchildren, four great grandchildren, numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews and close friends around the world. Gary and Gayle loved to travel the globe and had friends on almost every continent except Antarctica. Gary moved to Denver in 1983 and considered Colorado home. He is a past president of Littleton Rotary and was named a Paul Harris Fellow and a lifelong honorary member of Rotary International. He was also an avid supporter of Opera Colorado, APAC (Asian Performing Arts of Colorado), Families First, Global Down Syndrome Foundation and the Nathan Yip Foundation. Gary enjoyed all sporting events, a good book, and a great party. He en-
joyed golfing and loved to ski – having a home in Vail for many years. Gary was an enthusiastic friend to everyone. He enjoyed meeting new people and learning about their lives. He lived life to the fullest and will be missed. Internment will be July 22, 2022 at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in memory of Gary be made to the charity of your choice. A Celebration of Life Reception will be held Friday, July 22, 2022 at Pinehurst Country Club. For details: gayleoray@ gmail.com.
The Denver Turnverein Celebrates 100 Years
O
ne hundred years ago, the Denver Turnverein located at 1570 N. Clarkson St., purchased an elegant, now historic, building, a few blocks from the State Capitol. The Denver Turnverein is one of Denver’s oldest organizations, founded in 1865. In the past 25 years, the facility has become known as Denver’s Dance Center, where dancing and lessons take place seven
days a week. To celebrate the anniversary, the organization has proclaimed August 14, through August 20, 2022, “Denver Turnverein Week” and is offering free dances, lessons, and workshops. Dance exhibitions, performances, and tours of the building will also be available. All activities
will be free to the public. According to Art Abington, president, “The Denver Turnverein is a unique community that loves dancing, appreciation of the arts, positive social interaction, and this elegant historical building. We invite the greater Denver community to attend and experience what
our organization and this building have to offer. Our membership embraces diversity, soundness of mind and body, social interaction, and opportunity for all people. ‘A sound mind in a sound body’, the motto of the organization’s founders, is still supported by the programs we offer today.” The Denver Turnverein is a nonprofit membership organization, affiliated with the national organization American Turners, which
was founded by German immigrants in the early 1800s. The two German words “turn verein” loosely translated mean athletic organization. The Turners promoted physical and mental fitness, as the Denver Turnverein still does today. Visit this historic building during Denver Turnverein Week and learn more at denverturnverein.com
