Oak Creek appoints judge    Cantafio will take on the town's
increasing caseload next month.  Cantafio, a Steamboat Springs
attorney, will replace longtime Oak Creek municipal judge Bob
Sonheim, who gave notice of his retirement earlier this summer.
Sonheim will continue to serve as the municipal judge in Yampa.
Oak Creek's municipal court handles minor traffic offenses and
municipal code violations such as dog-at-large tickets, Deputy
Town Clerk Vivian Johnson said.  When Sonheim began serving as
municipal judge a decade ago, he heard only one or two tickets a
month, Town Clerk Karen Halterman said Thursday. Since then, the
caseload has increased exponentially, and municipal court now is
held several days and nights each month.  "It's not uncommon to
have 18 to 25 people on the docket," Police Chief Russ
Caterinicchio said.  Cantafio's first day of municipal court
will be Aug. 21. He was out of town and could not be reached for
comment Friday.  The Town Board also went into executive session
for 45 minutes
