Joint ownership of property simply refers to a situation in which two or more people each have an ownership interest in the same item, such as real estate, an automobile or a bank account. In Colorado, there are two common types of joint ownership: tenants in common and joint tenancy with right of survivorship. With regard to both, all joint owners generally have a right to possess the

whole item, the partial interest simply refers to ownership. Where there is joint ownership of real estate, for example, each owner is entitled to possession of the whole and is entitled

to go anywhere on the property he or she wants to and use the property in a reasonable manner. The difference between joint tenancy and tenancy in common is the right of survivorship. When one joint tenant dies, that person’s interest in the property automatically is transferred to the surviving joint tenants. The survivor still should record the death certifi cate so that third parties have notice, but the transfer itself is automatic. In the case of real estate, the presumption is that the property is owned as tenants in common, not in joint tenancy. If you have questions about joint ownership of assets, or any other legal issue, please feel free to contact us at 970-522-2341 or stop by the offi ce at 214 Poplar St. in Sterling. WRIGHT & WILLIAMSON, LLC is a general practice fi rm that can handle auto accidents to zoning, and just about anything in between. Continuing the tradition of excellence started over 50 years ago.

Icel Haynes (left) and Erin Warnick are proof that service spans generations at Ice Lanes in Sterling. Ice Lanes is being honored as the Logan County Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month.

(Editor’s Note: To stress the importance of shopping locally, and to emphasize the variety of businesses and services available in Logan County, the Logan County Chamber of Commerce is spotlighting a local business each month. Ice Lanes is honored in this month’s Spotlight on Business.) Symbolic of many rural com-munities is the bowling facility that is a social, physical and fi nancial contributor to the town's lifestyle. It is a place people meet over a burger and fries, swap stories of the week’s happenings, and compare skills of falling pins with a 15-lb, give or take some, ball. It is an icon in many communities

that would be as much a loss if it closed as the loss of a bank or shopping center in other places. Ice lanes of Sterling is maintaining that tradition. Icel and Tom Haynes, formerly of Blackhawk, purchased Sunset Lanes in 1996. They have been members of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce since then. The business is maintained as a family-friendly, family-operated facility. “We are just a family-oriented business,” said Erin Warnick.

Warnick, her husband and her mother work at Ice Lanes. Warnick has been associated with the facility since she occupied the nursery as a youngster. In her early teens, she started working at the facility, and has not completely left since then. “I remember coming here, in the nursery, when I was young,” Warnick said. “I’ve been in and out since I was 13 (as an employee).” Working for family is not an easy task. In fact, there are times it is probably more diffi cult than working for an employer outside of the family. She said some of the stress is knowing what is expected and at

what level of service. “I know what I’m doing. I know what is expected,” she said. She was challenged to earn her GED before promoting to manage-ment. Now she is preparing to take over operation of Ice Lanes. Ice Lanes has league play every night of the week, but the facility is seldom so full a small group cannot come and enjoy a few games, said Icel Haynes. Warnick said she continues to serve people she knew when she was coming to then Sunset Lanes as a child. They continue to promote programs that bring people back

to bowling. “Dollar Night” programs are growing from a risk of available lanes to popularity that requires a reservation. “We’ve gone from not letting [college students] reserve to if you don’t reserve, you don’t get in,” Warnick said. They also had an 80s party theme for New Year’s Eve and are thinking about bringing back end of summer parties. They also have city recreational and children’s programs. In addition, Warnick is a certifi ed Level 1 bowling coach. “We’re always open for new

kids to come in,” Haynes said. People who have not entered the facility for a few years will see a completely different color scheme taking place, new carpet and furnishings, and updated game technology including fl atscreen television monitors. While at Ice Lanes, be sure to take part in the menu, and equip yourself with anything a bowler can want or need, from a new ball to the latest shoes. “We can get just about anything you need,” Haynes said. Ice Lanes also has a website that promotes its many programs and the respective, and respectable, costs. Check it out at icelanes.com. Ice Lanes is located at 208 N. Tenth Ave., and can be reached by 522-3331.
