Planning and Zoning commissioners have a couple of substantial projects in the hopper, and the CaĂąon City Council is meeting Monday to discuss one — offstreet parking and loading. “We recognize that we have a lot of privately-owned parking for businesses that are largely unoccupied,â€? Associate Planner Mary Ann Nimmo said. “Also, the dimension requirements of our code exceed most other jurisdictions.â€? When people come from other cities to plan a project for CaĂąon City, some of the city’s requirements for parking spaces often take them aback, Nimmo said. An example is the 30-foot wide aisle between two rows of perpendicular parking spaces. Typically, the requirement is 24 to 26 feet. “That equates to additional asphalt, which means paving money and is more expensive,â€? Nimmo said. “The space sizes may not necessarily need to be as large as they are in our requirements.â€? Nimmo said city staff and planning and zoning commissioners studied numerous other codes from other jurisdictions. They also completed experiments in the City Hall parking lot, putting down blue tape for different space dimensions and driving different-sized vehicles in

AIR FORCE ACADEMY — When they heard the news, they were devastated. But they never gave up hope that they would someday know what happened to their loved one, Col. Leo S. Boston, who was reported missing during a search and rescue mission April 29, 1966. On Friday, Col. Boston’s family was greeted with Patriot Guard Riders carrying American flags as they were escorted into the cemetery at the Air Force Academy, where an American hero who was missing for more than 45 years was buried alongside his wife in the cemetery at the Air Force Academy. As part of a tradition, Gov. John Hickenlooper ordered the flags to be lowered to half-staff on public buildings statewide Friday to honor the memory of Col. Boston. “There were many times we never thought we’d see this day,� said his daughter, Stephanie Boston Danielson. “We’re so grateful to everybody that was involved in the identification of our father’s remains.� Her brother, John S. Boston, agreed. “It’s hard to keep up hope,� he said. “My sisters never gave up. They knew this day would come.� Col. Boston’s mother, Edythe Boston, felt the same. “I get spiritual messages, and I got them from him,� she said. “Whenever I was grieving, he would be coming up the hill where I was sitting and say, ‘mama, you’re not supposed to be sad. I’m OK’ and things like that. Nobody else knew that he was in heaven, but I did. He told me.� She said she was lucky to have had him for 30 years. “He was a blessing,� Edythe said. “He is such a hero, and I always think it was a terrible waste.� After the long wait, his daughter, Bethany Boston Johnson, said it was such a relief to know what finally happened to him. “We’re extremely lucky to know,� she said. “I’m terribly sad for all of us. As the first born, I’ve been missing my mother terribly. I’d like to think they are in heaven together, hopefully since my mom passed in 1988.� During the service, Capt. Joshua Kim, chaplain with the 10th Air Base Wing, said he was not only a national hero, but also a decorated veteran, an obedient son, a loving father, a faithful husband and a legacy that continues to live on in the lives who knew Col. Boston.

Boston deserves every honor and every recognition.� But there is another story that the nation owes to Boston, which is his late wife, Dorothy Deanna Boston; his mother, Edythe; his children, Bethany, John, Stephanie; granddaughter, Sydney Danielson, other family members and close friends. “Our nation is grateful for your sacrifice, for your pain and for your grief,� Kim told the family. “We also remember the ones who become instant heroes for their acts of sacrifice, but you have been the silent heroes that have had to be strong, had to be brave ... For your loss and for your suffering, I am truly sorry.� Prior to the service, Boston’s children related stories of their father. “On Christmas day 1965, a few months before Col. Boston went missing over the jungles of Vietnam, Bethany told me a story that her father was trying to get all the kids into the car to go to a Christmas morning service,� Kim

But the children wanted to stay home to play with their new presents. “Col. Boston scooped up his daughter in his arms and said Bethany, you have to be brave,� Kim related the story. “That is one of the last things that Bethany remembers before her father was deployed to Vietnam.� After the short service, he was honored with a 21gun salute, a flag folding ceremony with each of the children and his mother receiving an American flag, followed by a bugler playing “Taps� and a bagpiper performing “Amazing Grace.� Boston was flying on the mission when an enemy aircraft forced Boston and another A-1E Skyraider pilot to divert their holding

Because of bad weather and enemy activity in the area, military personnel were not able to search for Boston or the aircraft, a press release said. From that time on until about two months ago, no one knew what had happened to him. In spite of several trips to Washington D.C., Deanna, prior to her death, and Edythe were never able to find out where Boston had disappeared to until recently when the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory matched Boston’s DNA with his mother’s and brother’s DNA.
