Arrest made in 1981 murder of Sylvia Quayle in Cherry Hills Village BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Cherry Hills Village Police Chief Michelle Tovrea held a live, in-person, socially-distanced press conference on February 25 to announce an arrest in the brutal 1981 murder of CHV resident Sylvia Mae Quayle, 34 years old at the time of her death. Chief Tovrea described Sylvia as someone who was “ambitious, friendly, vibrant, and lit up the room when she walked in.” She said that Sylvia was generous and interested in history and architecture. “She was a very good cook and opened a small business called “The

every morning. Although her parents are gone, Sylvia’s sister and brother-in-law are still residents of CHV. According to news reports, Quayle was shot and then stabbed to death in her home at 3800 S. Ogden Street in Cherry Hills Village in the early morning hours of August 4, 1981. There were also hints of sexual assault. The person now being held for this heinous crime, David Dwayne Anderson, 62, was arrested in Cozad, a 3,787-person community where he was living in southwest Nebraska. Authorities said he was taken into custody by Cozad police with the help of Dawson County law enforcement and was employed at the time of his arrest.

They declined to say whether he had a family. Anderson waived extradition on February 24 and is expected to arrive in Arapahoe County soon. When he does, he will e o ficially char ed with first de ree urder. th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner explained that, if convicted, Anderson could face life in prison with the possibility of parole after 20 years, the penalty that was on the ooks or first de ree murder in Colorado at the time the crime was committed. The case began to come together when CHVPD began working with Metro Crime Stoppers and United Data Connect in January 2020. Investigators entered DNA material from the original evidence in the case into two public DNA databases that produced an initial group of potential suspects of over 3,000 people. Dogged investigation work began to narrow down that number until there was only a single person of interest. Chief Tovrea commended CHVPD Detective Lenny Abeyta and

18th Judicial District Investigator Matt Hanagan, who she said “were instrumental in putting all the pieces together to make a prosecutable case,” despite more than four decades having passed since the crime occurred. Mike Mills, board president of Metro Denver Crime Stoppers (MDCS), explained that the case gained the focus of his organization after Mitch Morrisey of United Data Connect (UDC) asked MDCS to fund work in enetic enealo y or fi e cold cases two years ago. With an initial donation of $20,000 from CS, all fi e o those cases have been solved and four more are close to resolution. Mills noted that MDCS is a 501(c)(3) organization, completely funded by donations, with an all-volunteer board. He said they hope to continue to work with UDC to solve cold cases. Chief Tovrea asked that anyone who may have any information about this case call the CHVPD tip line at 720-305-9831. Fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Arapahoe County seeking public input on its 2040 Transportation Master Plan/24 Key Corridors Survey

T

he Arapahoe County Public Works and Development department (PWD) has launched a survey that invites area residents and business owners and employees to weigh in on 24 key transportation corridors that cut through and around the County. The survey will be open until March 19 at www.survey monkey.com/r/AC2040TMP, and it should take only a few minutes to complete. As the fastest-growing county in Colorado, Arapahoe County is acutely aware of and focused on the need to improve the County’s transportation infrastructure. Although widespread congestion is occurring throughout the County and is here to stay, our goal is always to look for ways to manage it better. Those who live or work in the County are the ones most affected by these conditions, which is why we’re seeking opinions about how Arapahoe County can improve the transportation network that gets people to and from the places they live, work and play. The survey will allow res ondents to tell our o ficials about the types of improvements—from managing congestion to increasing safety to exploring alternative modes like on-street bike lanes—that are most important to them. County o ficials reali e that the input of the public that uses our roads every single day is vitally important to building a community-supported plan that considers the things that are most important to our residents. Prior surveys and analysis about area transportation has revealed that: • Although 16.5% of travel is considered “congested” by current measures, that is projected to increase to 20.4% by 2040 • 70% of residents want a ocus on roadway odifications to increase safety and manage congestion • Residents highly value safe infrastructure that will encourage different mobility options, e.g., bike lanes • 65% of employed residents work outside of the County • Widespread congestion is currently the highest along Arapahoe Road, Belleview Avenue and Hampden Avenue/I-285 corridors • Drivers on County roads will see a 32% increase in miles traveled by the year 2040 • he shar est tra fic increas-

es are expected for the area around and east of E-470, including I-70, 6th Avenue, Jewell Avenue, Gun Club Road, and Watkins Road • Projections forecast the highest levels of congestion will be along 6th Avenue, Hampden Avenue, Belleview Avenue, Arapahoe Road, Santa Fe Drive, University Boulevard., I-25, Havana Street, and Gun Club Road. All these factors help explain why receiving public input from those most affected by these conditions is so crucial. “We’re working with each of our local and regional part-

Better to drop bread than bombs

Some of my philosophy on world affairs stems from being a member of Lions Club International for over 50 years. Lions are in 220 countries and one of the world’s largest service clubs starting in 1917. Rotary is equally as large with clubs all over the world and started prior to the Lions. They have made large inroads into China and Russia and are headquartered in Evanston, Illinois. Some of the Rotary and Lion national leadership has come from Colorado. Speaking for the Lions we are nonpartisan and nonsectarian, meaning that we don’t discuss politics or religion. We leave those matters at the door and to our private lives. The Lion’s motto is “We Serve,” and Rotary is “Service Before Self.” It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you just work together as a team. I’m a new honorary member of the Optimist Club and am just a rookie in learning about this very positive organization. You can read their creed in the Barb Wire Bob column this week. There are other worthy service groups like Kiwanis, et. al. and all service organizations are designed to help, support children, assist the blind, feed the hungry, provide medical services, and youth exchanges. They join with the vast network

Big news of last week was the car accident of Tiger Woods where he rolled a 2021 Genesis off a nearby country club curvy road at around 7 a.m. rushing to a photo shoot with some football stars. We’ve seen the photos of the Genesis GV80 with the front end totally destroyed; the rescue team credits the Hyundai manufactured luxury Genesis with saving his life. The car is loaded with safety equipment and air bags and the cabin stayed pretty much intact. The Genesis was hailed at the golf tournament as the sponsor of the weekend event. This vehicle is the luxury brand of Korean car manufacturer Hyundai and can reach 60 mph in 6.0 seconds with the 370- twin-turbo horsepower engine. This model sells in the $70,000 range. Test drivers give it a good score but one review related, “The Genesis is not blessed with abundance of grip and related that the Michelin tires “squeal in protest” over some road conditions.. One driver related that on curvy roads he turned off the electronics. Tiger will relate what happened this week but being in a hurry in a fast car on a curvy road he probably just lost control. Maybe he was attempting to use his phone to say he was running late. We shouldn’t talk on phones while driving; we can

of churches of all denominations that reach out to help the poor and those in need of spiritual and physical help. I’m especially grateful for The Salvation Army and Volunteers of America for their many lifesaving services in the Denver area. The Red Cross is awesome in assisting those in need and are at every national emergency bringing food, water, and medical supplies. If the world was run by these service organizations there would be far less politics, hatred, racial injustice, and warfare. It seems that the world is on the brink of discord in almost every corner of the globe. I noted Ned Vanda’s column in the Denver Post this past Sunday writing about the civil war in Ethiopia. We have over 30,000 Ethiopian citizens living in Aurora who are hard workers and good citizens. They are very proud to become Americans. Many still have family members living in that heavily populated country with 60,000 re u ees eein to near y Sudan and thousands of people killed. The Denver Lions Club sent an eye glass delegation to Ethiopia last year led by Bemelekot “Mel” Tewahade, who was born in that nation but a longtime resident and leader of the Ethiopian community in Aurora. The dozen Lions spend ten days delivering

use Car Play on new cars. The sheriff related that there have been 13 accidents at that location in recent months. Wood became the 14th accident. The local sheriff and first res onders relate that the cars cabin construction, seat belt and air bags probably saved Tiger’s life. The car is so new that it does not have a crash safety score, but after this live test it should be a perfect rating. They sell these cars at local Hyundai dealerships. Tiger will return. He will rehabilitate his broken right leg and shattered ankle and no doubt be back on tour. He has had fi e ack sur eries in ast years and had a recent repeat Masters’ victory. He is now recovering at the renown L.A. Cedar/Sinai hospital. *** I’ve been reading press releases about Colorado Springs icon Steve Schuck moving over at his development company and renaming it Schuck-Chapman Companies. Brock Chapman has been the president and CEO of the company for the past two years and now moves up the ladder into an ownership role. first et Ste e Schuck in 1986 when he was a candidate for Governor of Colorado and continued our friendship for 40. years.

eyeglasses across the country to vision impaired men, women and children. They were warmly welcomed and described the expedition as a “Life changing event.” The recent U.S. airstrike against an Iranian/Iraq rocket site may sound heroic, but in reality the Middle East mindset is an “Eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.” America did stay out of any wars over the past four years and it behooves the new administration to use diplomacy rather than bombs. I’ve always believed that dropping bread would do better than bombs. That comes from the service club philosophy of assisting others. In my world travels, that included being one of 13 American journalists sent to the Soviet Union in 1975, I heard many Soviets says, “We love the American people, but we don’t like your government.” I would suspect that is true in today’s Russia and China. We are portrayed in those countries as afia and o course the leaders brainwash the citizens with their propaganda. I shudder when I hear some of our leaders talk about warfare with Russia and China, that talk is insanity. After 20 years in Afghanistan we can’t lick the rebel tribesmen who have no Air Force or Navy. Who, and where, do they get their road bombs and guns? The nuclear threat looms

brilliant concept but he lost in the early primary election and never ran again. He and his wife Joyce, who passed away recently, have been ardent advocates for educational reform. One o his a orite non rofits was Denver’s Step 13 where he served on Bob Cote’s board, helping individuals in drug and alcohol recovery without any government aid or assistance. He has many friends in the metro area. Schuck would have been a great governor, but he has been an even greater Colorado citizen and Colorado Springs leader. *** I see that my friends at the Optimist Club Denver South Monaco South renewed my “Friend of Optimist Club” membership. A “thank you” to the club and member Mark Metevia who has been my sponsor. This is a great local club of positive thinkers who have many programs for student scholarships. Here’s what they believe: PROMISE YOURSELF To be strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make you optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

larger every year and I would agree that Iran should never have nuclear weapons, but since they are pals with North Korea and Russia they probably have already purchased nukes with the $150 billion in cash the Obama administration delivered by airplanes. Nothing would please Russia and China more than for the U.S. ha in a con ict with ran. General MacArthur, in his retire ent, a ter ein fired y President Truman, advised Americans to “Never have a land war in Asia.” That was good advice and we can look back at Vietnam, and Iraq, as his advice was ignored. Many American service men and women were wounded or killed o er those con icts that rankly have not kept America any safer, in act, those con icts ha e created more hatred towards our country. Latin American leaders view us as bullies regarding our Cuba embargos and creates more hatred. We’re friends with Vietnam where 50,000 Americans died, yet we spurn Cuba where we once fought to free the land from Spain. Presidents Reagan and Trump believed in American might and having a strong military force with “Peace thru strength.” That policy has proven to be affective. It appears that President Biden will be tested by these nations and let’s hope that he passes the tests and makes the right decisions. Will we drop bombs or bread?

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and so happy to permit the presence of trouble. *** The Greenwood city hall is back open for business and the o fices and atriu ha e een remodeled with fresh white paint and oderni ation o the o fice space.

Opinion

Barbwire Bob Continued from page 4

the past nine months Colorado legal sports betting has reached $1.5 billion to total bets place. In other gambling news, blackjack betting limits have been removed from Colorado casinos by a statewide vote, if approved by local venues. This has happened and new betting limits will start on March 1. Casinos are bracing for what they believe will be a new chapter in gaming participation in Colorado with Las Vegas type limits and attracting higher roller participants. Wall Street gaming stocks have been on the rise as Americans seek to find entertain ent stocks in anticipation of Las Vegas and Macau tourists returning, eager for action. *** Local writer Bob Miles has written a column about some tips to survive “multi-generational” winter storms. He relates the Boy Scout motto, “Be Prepared.” It is tragic to see the misery and damage in Texas from a historic snowstorm and a breakdown of the state’s power grid. This is a stern warning to America to move slowly toward solar and wind energy and respect and utilize oil, coal and natural gas. Nuclear looms in the far future along with experiments in fusion. Realize that without electricity you can’t run your TV, charge your cell phone, pump gas, and run out of drinking water if the water plants fail. Electric and fossil fueled cars and trucks won’t operate, and

grocery store shelves will be empty. We will be helpless. *** Made a new friend last week in Mike Folsom, president of his family- owned 50- year-old Cowboy Moving & Storage Co. The large operation is located at 4533 So. Santa Fe Drive with lines of trucks ready to o e ho e and o fice items. He just did a huge move into a very large home in Cherry Hills Village that attracted my attention. isitin with ike in his o fice last week he relates his company has 4.8 to 5 perfect star scores on Google in over 500 reviews. “It isn’t easy.” He relates that the mansion job took four trucks and 15 men to handle the move in one day. He has a complete workout y outside his ain o fice where the trim president conducts business and keeps his crew and himself in top condition. A really good company! *** Ready for some basketball? March Madness is this month and baseball season opener at Coors Field is April 1. I think that Rockies will work harder and play better without their high paid star player that was traded. Baseball, like football, is a team sport; one players doesn’t win games by himself. Support the Rockies and our local Monfort owners. *** St. Patrick’s Day is approaching March 17. Everyone is Irish that for that occasion. Haven’t had a green beer in months.

Your power is out? Then power up BY ROBERT MEYER

We have been blessed with a “multi-generational” winter storm. Many friends and relatives in our central states have been reduced to a third-world existence by power and water outages. The occasional hurricane and civil disturbance can cause similar distress. People suffer. So, why doesn’t someone “do something”? A small voice whispers in my ear, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me”. Perhaps I should prepare for an unforeseeable future. But, how to do that? Well, we may start with a positive, determined mental attitude. Put aside a mindset that is dependent upon others. Are we ready to get in there and do something? I hope so. The Boy Scout motto is “Be Prepared”. Let us do just that, starting with hydration. Sweet, potable water may be stored for a reasonable period of time. Allow one gallon per person, per day, for drinking and cooking. Two gallons per day allows for some personal hygiene, while three gallons per person is almost resort living. How many days to prepare for? You get to decide. (If your water has been stored about one year, or if in doubt,

use one drop of Clorox per gallon, shake well and wait for one hour—should be good.) So, the water was cool and sweet--but now we are hungry. Our sandwich material is all gone, and it is getting dark. That nice camp stove we stored in the garage may be pressed into service if the small propane bottles work. Best try it on the patio, but ok in the kitchen if we crack a window or a door. Failing that, find the candle stu s from our last dinner party and put one on our cookie sheet with a cooling rack on top of that. Place an opened can of soup on the cooling rack and light the candle stub underneath. I bet we can heat our soup. We may buy soup by the case and rotate the stockpile. Canned soups and stews have an excellent shelf life and also provide us with needed liquids. Discard any cans that become damaged or show bulges. Legumes such as pinto beans, split peas, and lintels may be stored safely as well as dry pastas. Dry frozen meals are available and well worth a look. The main idea is to not be out running around, looking for something to eat. There will likely be plenty to

do at home. Night time means we hope there are enough spare atteries or our ashli hts or enough candles. (Where did I put that camping lantern from years ago?) Rememer, o en a es deser e our caution and respect. Night also means lower temperatures. Exposed pipes may be insulated. Drip any exposed faucets, especially those on a north wall because moving water, even slowly moving water will not freeze as fast as water that is still. Save yourself the hell of frozen and burst pipes, water damage, and resultant mold that might not go away. Nights are long, and can be very cold. Remember, wool beats just about anything in clothing, blankets and bedding. Layer up and don’t forget about a head covering of some kind. Studies show that lots of heat is lost if one does not have a night cap. Sweet dreams! Much has been written about the subject of preparedness. This piece is only meant to give us a starting place. That said, most recent outa es ha e een fi ed in a matter of days, so we just have to get through that period the best we can. Perhaps these thoughts will make our tasks a little easier. We hope so!

We know homelessness effects young and old, families and singles in diverse o ulation rou s. t is in cities, the suburbs, and even rural co unities. t e ects the disabled as well as the able-bodied, men, and women as well as those who do not identify as either.

family dysfunction and estrangement, lack of familial and social supports, alcohol and drug abuse, depression, isolation, suicide ideation and other more chronic mental health issues, lack of stability, lack of job skills, and educational failure. Few homeless people are connected to a faith community. t would e too si listic and even unkind to characterize individuals who might be struggling with the issues mentioned in the report. This is a very complex social capital issue related to adverse childhood experiences and some watershed moments in lives compounded by multiple factors that would put people in the position of being homeless.

That is what brought him into the o fice in and an area in which he has achieved much success. He also plans to increase referrals to the adult diversion program and would like to open up a di ersion o fice in Aurora. He explained that a diversion program is where you take the case out of the criminal justice system and try to address the underlying issues in the hope that there will not be any further offenses.

So how do we address this issue. First, we need to provide adequate services to help and heal. We must provide these services with dignity and respect valuing the inherent worth of every individual. To reduce future homelessness, we need to address the underlying drivers of violence, non-marital childbearing, academic failure, substance abuse, family dysfunction and estrangement, neglect and all the other issues outlined above. We need to work with new moms and teach them how to care for themselves, their heart, and their emotional well-being. We need to teach them skills to nurture their babies. We need to teach youth and adults relationship skills to develop healthy sup-

BOOK REVIEW Pack Lightly

The subtitle of this book is Making Sense of the Second Half of Life. Dr. Lisa B. Cowley and Victor Westgate published this book in 2019. It is inspiring for the baby boomer generation desiring to engage in “successful aging”. The authors endeavor to help the reader discover what is next after retirement. The parts that particularly resonated with me were the prompters in Chapter One to help search for an ideal home and community to age in place. I also appreciated the chapter towards the end of the book that dealt with looking at our mortality. I am a fan of getting affairs in order, discussing and getting clarity on end-of-life issues and wishes as well as releasing to the best of our abilities our fear of death and dying. Other topics covered were

Maybe they should study art history in college On January 20, 2021, a University of Delaware graduate who was a history and political science major with a minor in English became the forty-sixth President of the United States. That background would make Thomas Jefferson and our Founding Fathers proud, for they believed deeply in the power of a classical liberal arts education. In fact, the liberal arts were the primary focus of early higher education among those great men in order to create knowledgeable leaders who were also deep thinkers. Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell, a political science major, would most certainly agree. In recent economic downturns, as liberal arts programs have continued to lose funding, the nation has pursued a new focus in higher education, and it will be to the detriment of our national identity. Colleges are cutting majors mostly in the liberal arts to focus primarily on STEM careers and basic utilitarian job training. But we go to college for more than just job skills; we study to become fully actualized

human beings. And the liberal arts are more useful than many might suspect. Carley Fiorina, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and GOP presidential candidate, studied medieval history and philosophy. John Mackey, the founder and CEO of Whole Foods, majored in philoso-

phy and religion. In 2015, Fareed Zakaria wrote In Defense of a Liberal Education, which basically explains why we study what we study. It’s about being a well-rounded, educated person. I often explain that to students after they ask “When will I actually use geometry or poetry or knowledge of the mitochondria?” The blunt, honest answer is probably never, but they will use the well-developed critical thinking brains they have for learning those things. For,

education is not simply utilitarian, which is an argument we’ve been having since Charles Dickens wrote Hard Times. We don’t just teach what you’ll need for a job because education is not job training. However, as the costs of education, especially higher ed, have soared, we’ve become more critical and narrowly focused on jobs and career skill-based education. In reality, employers often just use diplomas as a screener for jobs to identify educated people who have the persistence to complete degree programs. And this can be a problem. In the rise of a tech-STEM world, the liberal arts lose favor, though the skills and knowledge they offer are integral to all the other fields. Sadly, the necessity of a bachelor’s degree and the question of utilitarian focus in education have also become politicized. In 2015 President Obama quipped, “I promise you folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree.” And in 2019 Senator Marco Rubio said “we praise

“Some business leaders and politicians have hinted we shouldn’t fund the liberal arts, and that students should only be given college loans for engineering or nursing, but not literature or music or social sciences. That would be a cultural and societal catastrophe.”

four-year college degrees but look down on technical certifications; we count ridiculous classes on pop culture as credits toward college degrees, but not wood shop.” Sadly, while trying to promote the trades, they needlessly knocked down the liberal arts. And a side-effect is that some business leaders and politicians have hinted we shouldn’t fund the liberal arts, and that students should only be given college loans for engineering or nursing, but not literature or music or social sciences. That would be a cultural and societal catastrophe. And if that doesn’t convince you, then consider these people. Andrea Jung, the head of Neiman Marcus and Avon, focused on English literature in college. Sue Wojcicki, the first CEO of YouTube eschewed business and computer science in favor of history and literature. Coloradan Steve Ells, the founder of Chipotle, was an art history major, as was Michael Lewis, the author of books like Moneyball and The Big Short. And finally, Steve Jobs, the visionary tech genius, credited his study of the humanities at Reed College for the unique brilliance of Apple computers.
