Dear Friends & Supporters,
Housing is essential to our mission of ending poverty and homelessness among veterans, but the availability of affordable housing in the San Francisco Bay Area is scarce. This scarcity is well-known and has created numerous challenges in trying to end veteran homeless. Over the last six years, we have made tremendous strides and have housed more than 40 percent of all homeless veterans in San Francisco. This reduction has occurred while the city has grappled with a 23 percent overall increase in homelessness.
At any given time, we have the capacity to house 441 veterans. With a new housing site in Mission Bay, we will be able to house another 62 veterans and 56 families. We are proud to announce that we will be breaking ground on our eighth housing site in Mission Bay on November 21st. Most of the veterans who reside with us are seniors who earn less and are typically more disabled than non-veterans of similar age and situation. However, we recognize that veterans with histories of chronic
homelessness have unique needs and require wrap-around care. Under this model, we work to foster a community that is supportive and engaged, providing veterans with access to resources they need to become self-sufficient.
The path to self-sufficiency starts with housing but as you will find out, it does not end there. This path can include mental health or substance abuse counseling, support groups, educational programs, workshops, and engaging in a wide array of community activities. In this issue, we have featured community activities to show our supporters an inside look at our residents’ lives and how these activities are an essential part of their reintegration to society. We have also featured volunteer engagement activities that have helped give us the opportunity to beautify the housing sites where our veterans live.
Swords to Plowshares has operated successful housing programs since 1987 and will continue to work to end poverty and homelessness among veterans. Please join us in our mission to end veteran homelessness by speaking with your local representative voicing your support for more housing for veterans and sharing any news and events about us online to help us generate awareness about our cause.
Thank you,
Michael Blecker

GRANT PREPARATIONS
Community leaders attend
philanthropy ‘listening tour’
By Steve Block
In anticipation of the regional
Rural Philanthropy Days that will
be put on in Trinidad from Sep-
tember 24 through 26, representa-
tives from several Colorado chari-
table foundations came to town
on Monday to listen to a group of
local leaders and to learn about
this community and the county
in which it sits. The interactive
gathering was held in the Pioneer
Room at Trinidad State Junior
College (TSJC) and featured rel-
evant discussions about the area’s
past, present and future.
Susan Steele of the Temple
Hoyne Buell Foundation chaired
the meeting, which was part of a
three-day whirlwind tour through
the seven-county area that will be
represented at Rural Philanthropy
Days. Chris Wiant, the president
and chief executive officer of the
Caring for Colorado Foundation,
asked a series of questions about
Trinidad and Las Animas County
to help the philanthropic organiza-
tions bridge the information gap,
so that grant-makers would arrive
at the September event better pre-
pared to collaborate and support
local needs.
The purpose of the learning
tour was for the philanthropic
organizations to gather informa-
tion and to come up with a docu-
ment that would help them to
understand how they could help
nonprofit entities in Southeastern
Colorado.
“We’re all really serious about
bringing our resources to town
and putting them in places that are
going to help you do what needs to
be done in your community,” Wi-
ant said.
Local leaders were asked to de-
scribe the personality and culture
of their community. Cy Michaels
of the City Tourism Board said the
City’s personality was changing,
which she said was not unusual
considering its size and its history
as a coal-mining and gas-produc-
ing region.
“The coal-mining history is
very important to the history of
Trinidad, but then we have people
who are moving here that know
the history but want to create their
future,” Michaels said. “It doesn’t
look like the coal mines are going
to open up again anytime soon, so
then you have the other side. They
want to have their kids educated,
but educated in a way that empha-
sizes art and creativity.”
Michaels said that people who
are new to town want more var-
ied sources of entertainment, in-
cluding visits to art galleries and
theater shows. She said the City
has many buildings that would be
ideal for such cultural opportuni-
ties, but Trinidad was still strug-
gling to get over the hump and find
ways to attract tourists and people
who might be interested in mov-
ing here permanently.
County Administrator Leeann
Fabec said the community was an
intriguing blend of multi-genera-
tional local families and newcom-
ers to the area, and the challenge
for local leaders was to come up
with services and opportunities
that would benefit people from
both groups.
Wiant asked what were the
greatest needs of the Trinidad
community and what were the big-
gest challenges it faced.
Phil Rico, the president of the
Trinidad Community Founda-
tion, said Trinidad had many low-
income people who were on the
social-service rolls. He said many
people had had to leave in recent
years to find better-paying jobs in

EDUCATIONAL BENEFIT
Numerous scholarships
funded at annual Trinidad
State Foundation event
By Greg Boyce
The Trinidad State Education-
al Foundation announced a very
generous gift of $100,000 for schol-
arships over the next two years at
its annual Fun & Fundraiser held
on April 26.
That was just part of the fun-
draising, which included a si-
lent auction at Scott Gym on the
Trinidad State Campus. Nearly
two hundred people were in at-
tendance for the event. The theme
was “Hats Off to the Past, Present
and Future.” The program in-
cluded a three-course meal, served
by 20 students who have received
scholarships from the Foundation.
Prior to the event, about a dozen
others helped with transforming
Scott Gym into an intimate ban-
quet setting. Keynote speaker Tim
Simmons presented a check for
$1,925 to form the “Founder’s Club
for the 1925 Fund,” named for the
year the College was founded. Tim
and his wife, Lynn, also pledged
$2,014 if those in the audience
would match that amount. After
“passing the hat,” that amount
was reached in just a few minutes.
Foundation Executive Direc-
tor Toni DeAngelis announced
at the end of the evening that at-
torney Franklin Azar, who could
not be present due to a recent se-
rious surgery, had pledged $50,000
this year for scholarships, as well
as $50,000 next year. He also com-
mitted another $150,000 for an ad-
ditional three-year period, depen-
dent on economic conditions at his
law practice and the progress of
the scholarship program. This is
a total pledge of $250,000 over five
years. DeAngelis said, “Franklin
knows the value of education, and
he believes that everyone should
have the chance to go to college,
regardless of their financial situ-
ation. Franklin is committed to
making a difference for Trinidad
State students, [and] this is a won-
derfully generous investment in
the students of Trinidad State and
the educational opportunities the
students have available.”
Trinidad State will work with
Azar to develop a plan for how the
scholarship money will be distrib-
uted to students. The focus will be
on student success and helping
students complete their education
at Trinidad State in order to go for-
ward with further education at a
four-year school or into the work-
force.
“Franklin has supported Trini-
dad State in various ways, and he
continues to support local groups
like the Trinidad Golf Association
and the Latin Scholarship Fund.
We are so grateful to Franklin for
his commitment to Trinidad and
Trinidad State Junior College,”
said DeAngelis.
Keynote speaker Simmons
shared what TSJC has meant to
him. Simmons is the son of legend-
ary Southern Colorado basketball
coach Harry Simmons — known
as “The Chief.” Harry Simmons
coached 40 years at the high
school, junior college and college
levels, including Trinidad State
Junior College. Of his father, Sim-
mons told the crowd, “He meant so
much to me. He was a character.
I don’t think anyone could ever
follow in his footsteps.” Simmons
quoted his father as saying he got
his start coaching in Pueblo Coun-
ty, at Fountain and at Trinidad
State.
Simmons got a taste of the
sports-information world at
Southern Colorado State College,
where he started keeping statis-
tics for the football team and then
wrote for the college newspaper.
That was in 1965, and he’s been
in sports-information businesses
ever since. “I’ve made a living
out of keeping stats and covering
sports. And it’s been very enjoy-
able.”
Simmons is on the nominating
committee for the Colorado Sports
Hall of Fame. He urged those in
attendance to write letters in sup-
port of former Trinidad State Bas-
ketball Coach Jim Toupal. “He’s
been my number-one goal — to try
to get him into the Colorado Sports
Hall of Fame.”
Several family members of the
Hall of Fame inductees were pres-
ent for the event. Don and Kather-
ine Berg, Ben Johnson and Fidel
Romero were inducted posthu-
mously to the Trinidad State Hall
of Fame as four people who have
made a difference for Trinidad
State and in the lives of countless
students. Don and Katherine Berg
were honored for their commit-

the norm and good grades on tests are criti-
cal to any student’s future. Trinidad State
Junior College hosted a “Stress-Free Day”
on Tuesday to give its students the chance
to relax and get focused on next week’s final
exams.
The event was held in the Stu-
dent Success Center at the Freu-
denthal Library. Free massages,
portrait drawings, manicures and
other forms of relaxation were ac-
companied by the lilting guitar
work of Desi Maxwell.
Kay Evans, massage and holistic
health instructor, said the college
holds stress-free days several times
a year, and her students work to
take the pressure off of their fellow
students.
“They’ve gotten quite good at it,
I must say,” Evans said. “They’re
using massage chairs that take all
the weight off the limbs of the body.
It helps people kind of be supported
as they receive massage. We’re do-
ing 10-minute sessions today, just to
take the edge off before they have to
get to grips with their finals.”
Evans is a New Zealand native
who’s been teaching at TSJC for the
past eight years. She said she found
out when she went to a conference
in Denver that the massage and holistic-
health field is exploding right now.
“There’s so much out there right now for
these students, it’s just unbelievable,” she
said. “The whole area of wellness has really
taken off. They don’t just learn the massage
techniques. They learn the things that will
support a good healthy lifestyle, such as
diet and exercise, all the sorts of things to
do with what we call somatic quieting, like
breathing and visualizations to make sure
that our nervous systems are in a space that
we don’t transfer stress to somebody. That’s
really important. All of that is part of their
training.”
Evans said four students would earn
their two-year degrees in applied science
through the program this semester, while
10 others would earn certificates through
another program. She said she loves to see
her students grow as they advance through
the program.
“I love the transformation that happens
with the students,” she said.
“I think that’s the thing that
keeps me going. Sometimes
I despair, but I’m the world’s
biggest nag. So I hang in
there and, for example, just
in the last six weeks I’ve
got students that I thought,
‘Oh my God, are they going
to make it?’ They’ve really
stepped up to the plate and
have become who I wanted
them to be. Then I know all
the nagging was worth it.
There’s a lot that they have
to accomplish in organiza-
tion as well as study. They
tend to rely more on their
actual demonstrated compe-
tence rather than their aca-
demia. If they can show me
their competence and their
thought processes, then
that’s what I need. Now we’ll
work on the exam.”
Kathleen DiCristino has
been teaching cosmetology
classes at TSJC since 1987,
after earning her cosmetol-
ogy certificate there and
working in Trinidad salons
for three years. DiCristino was asked about
the job market in her field and said it was
generally very positive. “I think we will
always fare well,” DiCristino said. “Our
industry tends to weather poor economic
times a little better than some other indus-
tries. We may not do as well when the econ-
omy is thriving, but they tend to be able to
hold their own until things improve. There
are job openings, even in our little commu-
nity, and if they move on to bigger cities,
they shouldn’t have too much trouble find-
ing work.”
She said a full cosmetology degree al-
lows graduates to work with hair, nails and
skin, though other certificate pro-
grams TSJC offers allow students
to specialize in one field or the
other.
“Skincare is kind of a big
movement in our industry right
now,” she said. “More people are
seeking or needing those kinds of
services, so that’s kind of a growth
area for us.”
She doesn’t recommend tan-
ning, because it is not healthy for
the skin and increases a person’s
exposure to harmful ultraviolet
rays. “I always tell my students
that I don’t see how they can pro-
mote skincare and be in favor
of tanning,” she said. “They just
don’t go together.”
She said it takes four semesters
to get through the cosmetology
program. The program currently
has 22 students enrolled. She said
she loves what she’s doing.
“I enjoy the contact with the
students and the public,” she said. “If you
would have asked me when I was in high
school if this would have been my career
path, I never would have considered it, but
I’m so glad I came upon cosmetology, and
I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really enjoy the
college. It’s really a great environment. We
have a family-type setting here. The faculty,
staff and students all work together for the
betterment of the college.”
The stresses of college life seemed to ebb
away for the students as they found time
to relax and enjoy a little therapy, and,
of course, they also enjoyed each other’s
company.
Upcoming finals week creates

RELAXATION THERAPY
EGGCITING EVENT
COGs Early Learn-
ing Center holds
Easter Egg Drop
Special to The Chronicle-News
The annual South Central Council of Gov-
ernments’ Early Learning Center had initially
scheduled the Annual Easter Egg Drop for
Thursday, April 17. Snow, however, caused it
to be rescheduled for Tuesday, April 22, 2014.
Initially it was thought that the postponement
would put a damper on the event, but that was
not the case. Children, parents, grandparents,
SCCOG staff, Harry Sawyer senior citizens,
fire fighters, ambulance district staff and
neighbors in the Rosita and Frost neighbor-
hood came out in great numbers to witness
the annual event.
Each spring the children at the Early
Learning Center participate in numerous
science and math activities involving eggs.
Children weigh and measure eggs, dye eggs,
match numbers on eggs, sink and float whole
and raw eggs and guestimate what will hap-
pen. They make an egg-salad recipe, and the
final project is a family homework assignment
to package a raw egg.
This year, Colton Nelson and his dad, Keith
Nelson, packaged their raw egg in Styrofoam
andBroncoducttapeandwereheavilyincom-
petition with cousin Kayden Salapich and her
dad, Brandon Salapich. The brother-in-laws
practiced dropping projects from a back hoe
prior to the event to heighten the excitement.
Kayden and her dad packaged their egg in a
diaper box packed with foam pieces, and nei-
ther of the egg projects broke, creating a tie.
Max Martinez and Matt Comden from the
Trinidad Fire Department were elected to go
up on the 50- to 65-foot ladder on the ladder
truck this year to drop the projects, and fire-
fighters are already plotting next year’s proj-
ecttogenerate“eggcitement.”Typicalprojects
included flour sacks with a packed raw egg,
parachutes and stuffed animals. Brody Rob-
inson’s project was a giant spiral that twirled
to the ground as the day came to an end, but
unfortunately his egg didn’t survive the fall.
Program Director Deb Hartman stated that
children used to have to be told that it was OK
for their eggs to break, and now many chil-
dren try to create interesting projects that will
break creatively and cause a huge splash.
All of the participants and viewers had
fun, and the weather turned out to be terrific.
This year, 40 eggs survived and 39 eggs did
not survive, which is consistent with the 50-50
percentage that has prevailed over the last 16
years.
So next year’s eggciting event promises
to feature many creative science/math
projects created by young children and
their families, and the projects will provide
learning experiences as well as plenty of
fun. And, of course, the event will be a great
way to celebrate spring.

Your chatterbox son now answers your
questions with a sullen “yes” or “no.” Your
charming daughter won’t go to the store with
you at all anymore. They must be teenagers.
Don’t despair. It’s natural -- and important
-- for kids to break away from their parents
at this age. This emotional
separation allows them
to become well-adjusted
adults.
Yet these must be
among the most difficult
years for any parent. To
help with parenting tips,
WebMD turned to three na-
tional experts:
David Elkind, PhD, au-
thor of “All Grown Up and
No Place to Go” and a pro-
fessor of child development
at Tufts University School
of Medicine in Boston.
Amy Bobrow, PhD, a
clinical psychologist and
professor in the Child
Study Center at New York
University School of Medi-
cine in Manhattan.
Nadine Kaslow, PhD, professor of psychia-
try and behavioral sciences at Emory Univer-
sity.
10 Parenting Tips
1. Give kids some leeway
Giving teens a chance to establish their own iden-
tity, giving them more independence, is essential to
helping them establish their own place in the world.
“But if it means he’s going out with a bad crowd,
that’s another thing,” says Elkind.
2. Choose your battles wisely
“Doing themselves harm or doing something that
could be permanent (like a tattoo), those things mat-
ter,” says Kaslow. “Purple hair, a messy room -- those
don’t matter.” Don’t nitpick.
3. Invite their friends for dinner
It helps to meet kids you have questions about.
“You’re not flat-out rejecting them, you’re at least
making an overture. When kids see them, see how
their friends act with their parents, they can get a bet-
ter sense of those friends,” Elkind tells WebMD. “It’s
the old adage, you catch more bears with honey than
vinegar. If you flatly say, you can’t go out with those
kids, it often can backfire -- it just increases the an-
tagonism.”
4. Decide rules and discipline in advance“If
it’s a two-parent family, it’s important for parents to
have their own discussion, so they can come to some
kind of agreement, so parents are on the same page,”
says Bobrow. Whether you ban them from driving for
a week or a month, whether you ground them for a
week, cut back on their allowance or Internet use --
whatever -- set it in advance. If the kid says it isn’t
fair, then you have to agree on
what is fair punishment. Then,
follow through with the conse-
quences.
5. Discuss ‘checking in’
“Give teens age-appropriate
autonomy, especially if they
behave appropriately,” says
Kaslow. “But you need to know
where they are. That’s part of
responsible parenting. If it feels
necessary, require them to
call you during the evening, to
check in. But that depends on
the teen, how responsible they
have been.”
6. Talk to teens about
risks
Whether it’s drugs, driving,
or premarital sex, your kids
need to know the worst that
could happen.
7. Give teens a game plan
Tell them: “If the only op-
tion is getting into a car with a
drunk driver, call me -- I don’t
care if it’s 3 in the morning,” says Bodrow. Or make
sure they have cab fare. “Help them figure out how to
handle a potentially unsafe situation, yet save face,”
she suggests. “Brainstorm with them. Come up with
a solution that feels comfortable for that child.”
8. Keep the door open
Don’t interrogate, but act interested. Share a few
tidbits about your own day; ask about theirs. How
was the concert? How was the date? How was your
day? Another good line: “You may not feel like talking
about what happened right now. I know what that’s
like. But if you feel like talking about it later, you come
to me,” Elkind suggests.
9. Let kids feel guilty
“I think too much is made about self-esteem,” says
Elkind. “Feeling good about yourself is healthy. But
people should feel bad if they have hurt someone or
done something wrong. Kids need to feel bad some-
times. Guilt is a healthy emotion. When kids have
done something wrong, we hope they feel bad, we
hope they feel guilty.”
10. Be a role model
Your actions -- even more than your words -- are
critical in helping teens adopt good moral and ethical
standards, says Elkind. If they have a good role model
from early on, they will be less likely to make bad de-
cisions in their rebellious teen years.
How do you breach the barriers of adolescence?

COUPLES FIND COMMON GROUND
ON DIFFERENT SPIRITUAL PATHS
DEAR ABBY: I’m writing to support
“Feeling Coerced in San Diego” (Feb. 14),
who is uncomfortable attending church
with her husband. I understand her feelings
because I, too, am an atheist in a relation-
ship with a religious
man.
There is another op-
tion besides abstaining
from church or attend-
ing only on major holi-
days, and that would
be for “Coerced” and
her husband to try a
different church. One
religion that embraces
atheist church mem-
bers is Unitarian Uni-
versalism.
UU congregations
are often made up of people from different
backgrounds -- Christian, Jewish, athe-
ist and more. The focus of the sermons is
on living a good life, treating other people
and our planet with respect, and following
one’s own path to spiritual enlightenment.
It’s likely that “Coerced” and her husband
could both feel at home in such a congrega-
tion. -- CHELSEA IN WICHITA
DEAR CHELSEA: Thank you for your
suggestion -- it’s one that was echoed by
many other readers. I have mentioned the
Unitarian Universalist denomination and
its website (uua.org) before in my column.
Readers’ comments were enlightening:
DEAR ABBY: I, too, am in a “mixed mar-
riage.” I’m religious and my husband is an
atheist. We agree to disagree on the matter.
Religion (or lack of it) is a very personal
thing, and however we feel, we owe each
other respect for our different views.
“Coerced” is great for trying to accom-
modate her husband, but now that they see
it didn’t work, he should stop pressuring
her. She can refrain from going to services,
but should consider attending the church’s
social events. This solution worked well for
us. My husband and my church friends get
along well.
Of course, this depends on the nature of
the church. Mine happens to be one of the
more progressive. It’s worth a try. -- KATH-
RYN IN OTTAWA, CANADA
DEAR ABBY: I knew my husband was
atheist when we married. Our spiritual
journeys are different, and we’re not going
to change each other.
We agreed I would raise our kids Catho-
lic. I never expect him to be at church with
us on Sundays, but on important sacra-
ments (baptism, first communion, confir-
mation), he is there with the whole family
because he realizes these events are impor-
tant for his kids and me. He has become
friendly with some of my clergy and fellow
congregants, who accept him for the won-
derful person he is.
Maybe in the future “Coerced” could at-
tend an event like a church spaghetti din-
ner, something outside of services, and get
to know the people her husband spends
time with on Sunday. And he could spend a
weekend doing a silent hiking retreat with
his wife and her friends.
Respecting each other’s spiritual path
is a first step toward appreciating each
other’s differences and growing together. --
BLESSED IN OREGON
DEAR ABBY: “Coerced” is lucky to have
a man who attends church and wants her to
go, too. She might consider helping in the
nursery. That way, she’s there with him
but doesn’t have to listen to the message.
Churches are always looking for help so
parents can actually attend the service. --

in 1968 to raise and manage private gifts for
Trinidad State.
