Leland Willeke candidate for District 2 Commissioner
I believe that at some point in our life we are presented with the opportunity to make ourselves available to serve our community. This opportunity has presented itself and I feel this position fits my abilities and my strengths. Concerning my personal background, I own a dryland farming operation in the Otis area. My education is in engineering. Before moving back to Washington County in 1986, I enjoyed participating in some very rewarding work in the engineering field, which provided me with an invaluable set of business values and experiences. These values are the backbone of the business and financial skills I have relied on in building a successful agricultural operation here in Washington County. Continued on Page 2

continued from front pg.
I have served a number of years on various boards. I served on the Premier Farm Credit Board from 1993 to 2010 and in the capacity of its board chairman for 4 years. I was elected to the US AgBank Board in Wichita, Kansas and subsequently served as a director for Denver based CoBank. I believe accountability and transparency are paramount to good leadership. You cannot separate accountability from your actions and you cannot separate transparency from your decisions. With this in mind, I am hopeful that my experience
will create a vision with a fresh perspective for this county. There are a number of competing priorities for the resources in this county. We do not have a surplus of resources, therefore, we need strategies and we need efficiency to be able to provide all areas of this county with a reasonable level of service. The continued improvement and maintenance of our infrastructure needs to receive a very high priority. We need to bolster our ability to provide adequate healthcare services and functional healthcare facilities in this county. My background lends itself well to finding useful, workable solutions to these types of issues. It is issues such as these that provide me with the motivation to serve as a commissioner.

Bear Creek seniors learn the other side of Ag story – first hand By Jerry Patterson Three students from Bear Creek High School recently learned the other side of the Ag story during a seven-day stay at the William and Kim Harman ranch south of Otis. The three seniors, Marisabella Carranza, Dominick Muniz and Jakob Calkins are part of class called Senior Field Studies (SFS). Before coming to the ranch the kids learned in the classroom about farm safety and agriculture’s ties to the city. At the ranch the kids helped with the many chores that go along with being a rancher; like bottle feeding calves, feeding the cows, watching a new calf being born, learning how to trick a cow into claiming a new calf and driving the cows and calves to new pasture. They also watch and learn how to take care of a working cow horse, including being shoed. “The kids tried using horses the first day of moving the

pairs,” said Kim Harman. “They a little better luck using the ATV’s the second day, they were a little easier to command than the horses.” “We learned that the ranchers do take care of their animals,” said Dominick. “That’s a different story than the media sometimes portrays.” During their stay the kids joined William and Kim in attending the Farm Bureau County meeting. “We hope and encouraged them to join farm bureau at the collegiate level,” said Kim” “Many of the young board members joined the farm bureau during their college days.” “William and I learned sadly that inner city youth overall have no idea what we do in agricultural,” said Kim. “I am thankful to support a program such as the senior field study program in hopes that a few kids can learn that agricultural is important.”

Over the past couple of weeks, tie gangs replace the old ties with new ties. A typical railroad tie is 9” wide, 7” tall and 8’ long. Typical spacing is 20” from one side of the tie to the same side of the next tie and are generally made of oak. The ties are contracted to a general contractor who will come and haul them off.
SPRING “In the spring time a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of....” I know how this often quoted saying is supposed to end. I also know that spring means different things to different people. I’ll bet though, that everyone in cattle country has one thought

come to mind as spring approaches. Fence fixing! Good old backbreaking, glove-tearing fence repair. You see, most of cattle country gets a fair share of snow in the winter. The mountains get more depth that the wind driven storms on the plains, but the end result is the same. Wire is pulled loose from posts or broken, posts rotted off and staples missing. Add to this a few holes torn by deer, antelope, hunters or elk and you have your whole spring’s work lined out for you. Spring is probably the only time I wished I lived in Iowa. In Iowa, on an eighty-acre corn farm. Corn doesn’t need fenced in. How much fence can you have around eighty acres? Out here, we take pride in the size of our operations. We like to
Trivia Questions
1. What U.S. state boasts Stone Mountain, the world’s largest mass of exposed granite? 2. What is Mickey Mouse’s dog’s name? 3. What company’s stock exchange listing is abbreviated to PEP? 4. What’s the most frequently rolled number with two dice? 5. What South American country took its name from the Inca for cold winter? 6. What was the name of Baretta’s cockatoo? 7. Who was Becky Thatcher’s boyfriend? 8. Who was the principal character in Fiddler on the Roof? Answers on page 23
talk about the hundreds, or thousands of acres, or perhaps the number of sections in our outfits. It’s a source of pride to even the most modest rancher, until the time comes to go around the fences. A simple section has at least four miles of fence around it. That’s four miles of holes to dig, wire to splice and staples to replace. Some have many, many times that amount of fence to go over. You’ve got to admit that the thought of covering twenty or more miles of fence, post by post, staple by staple, makes you cringe when those first tulips poke through the snow. As the ground thaws out, shovels, post bars and rolls of barb wire become part of the old pickup’s daily load. It’s not that we really mind it, you understand. The first sight of green grass on the ranges
each spring is a celebration of life for us all, a sort of renewal of our spirits. Fencing gives us a chance to get out after being hemmed in by snow and cold all winter. It’s sort of a ritual we all look forward to in spite of the grinding monotony of the work itself. I’m pretty sure that poet who wrote the lines quoted at the beginning never had to fix fence. I suppose his thoughts were on other things. For some of us, though, after a day of pounding steel posts, well, we’re just too darned tired! Did you know- The sequoias and reswoods of the American West Coast are not the oldest living trees in the world. The honor belongs to the macrozamia trees of Australia, whoch live 5,000 to 7,000 years and some claim , may even reach 15,000 years.

Donald R. Wright Thank You Lila Mae (Snelling) Harr
Donald R. Wright was born on February 24, 1932, to Raymond Clifford Wright and Delourise Marie (Nickerson) Wright. He went Home, May 2, 2016, after an extended period of surgeries and subsequent illnesses. Donald received his education in the country schools around Lindon and graduated “first in his class of three” in 1950. From there, he was comfortable in talking about attending the “School of Hard Knocks”. After the death of his dad, Donald assumed the responsibility to run the farming and ranching operation originated by his maternal grandmother during the homestead days. He decided not to attend college but to stay home and help his sister participate in the college experience. Lindell Lucille and her fiancé were killed in an automobile accident before she could graduate. Donald was drafted in 1957 and served our country in the United States Army during the period between World War II and the Korean War. He was sent to Panama for eleven months before receiving a hardship and honorable discharge due to his mother’s need for him on the farm. Donald continued to serve in the U.S. Army until he was honorably discharged in 1962. In 1967, Donald married Carolyn (McKinley) and they were gradually joined by five children, Keith, Dorothy, Lori Jan, Janette and Karl. Lori Jan went to Heaven in 1972, and we believe was waiting with Jesus for Donald when he joined them at his new Home. During his years living in Lindon, the family remembers pull-
ing together together working on the farm/ranch- learning that Dad started the day before sunrise and didn’t shut down until after dark-thirty. When times got tough, Donald supplemented the direct operation by first trucking and then starting a farm implements business. The family never went hungry, but the kids learned to tighten their belts and keep going- the “kitchen help” working right alongside the “men” of the family. Donald took great delight in attending all the functions in which the children were involved. He took the family to church and saw that their spiritual lives were fed. Being at their ballgames, music contests, and FFA events, was important to him and he liked to talk about missing only one such event throughout their school years. Donald accepted Jesus as his personal Savior in 1967 and during their almost fifty years of marriage, he and Carolyn had the privilege of serving the Lord in several area churches as unofficial starters and encouragers. A host of friends were made in this capacity and are still considered to be personal treasures. Donald was the first president of the Woodlin Lion’s Club in the early 1960’s. At the time of is “home-going”, he was a member of the Calvary Baptist Church of Fort Morgan. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Lori Jan, by both parents, his sister, and his twin siblings, Carl and Carlene, who

Lila Mae (Snelling) Harr of Yuma, Colorado was born on December 29, 1937 and passed away after short battle with kidney cancer on May 3, 2016. Lila was born in Yuma, Colorado and was the daughter of Roy and Ethel (Josh) Snelling, Lila was the fifth of seven children in the Snelling family. Lila attended school in Yuma through the 12th grade. Lila spent several summers working at her Uncles store in the mountains and formed a special bond with her cousins while there. After graduating Lila traveled to Iowa to visit her older sister Edith who was married to Morris Harr. Morris had a nephew who also lived in Iowa and that is where Don Harr first met Lila. By Don's own account he instantly fell in love with Lila. He called his Dad to get a little advice on what he should do because Lila would be returning to Colorado soon. His Dad's advice was this "If she thinks anything of ya she'll be back". Well Don ignored that advice and he proposed to Lila after only knowing her a couple of weeks. Lila went back to Colorado but within a couple of months they were married. Don and Lila lived in Iowa for a short time where their first child, Julie Ann was born in 1959. The small family moved to Illinois where they lived until 1970. During the years in Illinois three more children were born, Robert Dewane in 1961, Tena Marie in 1963 and Deanna Kay in 1965. In 1970 the Harr family made a big move to Colorado back to Lila's home town of Yuma. Lila worked for the Yuma
Schools as a cook in the school kitchen for several years. Later on Lila worked at the Farmers State Bank until her retirement. Lila's journey continued after retiring taking trips with her husband Don to many places including a trip to Alaska. After Don passed away in 2005 she continued her travels and took many trips all over the world, some she planned with special friends, her immediate family and also her cousin Alice Young. Lila loved to camp and there were many camping trips to Ogallala with her children and their families. Lila loved the time spent each summer at the lake and she water skied and rode the jet ski many more years than her children thought she should! In addition to camping with her family she joined a group of women who traveled around in their campers called "Sisters on the Fly". Lila was very proud to be a member of this group and made many wonderful friends and lifelong memories. Lila was an excellent seamstress making all three of her daughter's wedding dresses, her daughter in law Lisa Harr's wedding dress as well as one for her niece Angela Andrews. Lila also enjoyed crocheting and knitting, she made crocheted necklaces, hats, scarves and also made a special outfit for each of her great grandchildren. Each of her grandchildren received an afghan at sometime. Lila was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church where she served on committees and was a Deacon for many years. Lila volunteered at the Community Cupboard and Meals on Wheels, she was also involved with the Yuma Museum. Lila is survived by her four children and their families: Julie Rahm and husband Brad, their son Jason, wife Abby and children Madilyn and Joslyn, son Adam Rahm and friend Kelci Ravenkamp.

Lee “Hoon” Benton
Lee “Hoon” Benton Robert Lee “Hoon” Benton, Junior; son of Robert “Bob” Lee Benton Senior and Mabel Bond Benton; younger brother to Eugena; and older brother to Roger “Hodge” was born on February 21, 1933 in the family home in Joes, and died May 2, 2016 in Denver, Colorado due to complications resulting from a stroke. Hoon was born, and lived most of his life, in the family home at Joes. He spent his childhood growing up in the Joes community and was very proud of farming, ranching, playing ball, the country lifestyle, rodeoing and the values that he was immersed in as a child. He graduated from Joes High School in 1951 after having the opportunity to participate in high school sports, which included basketball and baseball, which were quite successful with a couple trips to the State Basketball Tournament. After graduation in 1951, Hoon ventured out to explore different careers like uranium prospecting, ranch hand, following the rodeo circuit as a bull rider, and working on different harvest crews. During the end of the Korean War, Hoon was drafted into the Army on March 23, 1953, followed by boot camp in Fort Riley, and then he served at Fort Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. When he was honorably discharged on March 10, 1955, he returned to the Joes area and married Merna Wood who had been a close friend, despite her being from the rival town of Kirk. They wed May 22, 1956 in Raton, New Mexico. To this union four children were born: Lynn, Mel, Dar, and Marv. Hoon and Merna moved to Nuc-
Otis Telegraph
la, Colorado where Hoon drove an ore truck for three years. The family moved back to the Joes community and pursued ranching and farming in 1962. Hoon and Merna were married for 45 years and they lived their lives taking care of their cattle, a little farming, raising their kids and then lending a hand in being a major influence in their grandchildren’s lives. Merna died on June 15, 2001 from injuries incurred in a car wreck. At that time Hoon continued to ranch/ farm and being involved with family and community. Hoon loved his family unconditionally, as well as: rain; being a cattleman; his cattle; his grass up north; good neighbors; his numerous friends and community members; family get-togethers; community get-togethers; living rural; and bull riders. He served his community as a member of the Joes Volunteer Fire Department and Fire Chief for several years throughout his life. He took this responsibility very seriously. Hoon never met a stranger and could find more similarities with, other than differences with these people. He had a great capacity for love and accepted everyone despite their economics, ethnicity, age, abilities, checkered background, or status in life; and they were always welcome in his home and at his table. If he perceived any kind of need he would willingly give the shirt off his back to help those in need. He made a difference in many lives by helping and assisting others to meet their potential. He did, however, have little tolerance for people he believed were pretentious or greedy, AND he didn’t mind letting them know. Hoon’s faith in God was manifested in how he lived his life and his appreciation of the world around him. He truly believed that he needed to take care of people who were not as blessed as he was, and did this on a daily basis. He loved the land and realized his blessing, and took pride in taking good care of it.
Hoon spent lots of hours in his pastures and checking his cows where he felt great gratification. Hoon will always be known for his wit, disarming humor, his humility, a rich history of experiences, and the ability to tell a story. He didn’t take himself very serious, but was a very proud man. He was never politically correct and liked to needle people with comments on politics, especially, when their politics did not align themselves with his views. A family friend recently said that Hoon was a national treasure. His family and close friends agree because he has left us all with a legacy of love, generosity, being genuine, and a good neighbor. Weall feel it was a life well lived. Hoon is preceded in death by his parents, Bob and Mabel Benton, father and mother-law Harvey and Dale Wood, older sister Eugena, younger brother Hodge, wife Merna, grandchildren Cole, Kacey, and Trevor, sister-in-laws Lois, Marilyn, and Rosie, niece Charlene, nephews Wes, Wayne, Randy, Todd, and Larry. He leaves to mourn his passing: daughter Lynn (David), Stratton; brothers Mel (Deb), Sterling; Dar (Denise), Laird; and Marv (Ruth), Ft. Collins. Grandchildren: Brandon (Erin), Akron; Nate (Raina), Limon; Brianna (Matt), Stratton; Nik (Whitney), Yuma; Tyler, Glenwood Springs; Kassidee (Jace), Joes; Brooke (Justin), Napa, California; and Lane, Ft. Collins. Great Grandchildren: Isabel Hill, Braelyn Benton, Benton Kastner, Ledger Benton, Rylee Hill, Avery Benton, and Scarlett Kastner. Others include nieces, nephews, and in-laws who have been a part of his life. The Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, May 7, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. at the Liberty School in Joes, Colorado with Pastor Jack Stout officiating. Hoon will be laid to rest with his wife, parents, sister, and grandchildren in the Yuma Cemetery. Memorials can be given to the Joes Volunteer Fire Department in Hoon’s name.

Words cannot express the deep appreciation we feel for the outpouring of support for us in this time of sorrow. LeMoyne loved his family and his community. He felt privileged to be able to serve them in any way he could. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the Otis Presbyterian Church for the wonderful meal and fellowship, and to Pastor Feather for the 37.5 minute service, just like LeMoyne requested.
THE LEMOYNE WOLFE FAMILY
P.S. We received a lot of questions about the less than fresh corsage LeMoyne was wearing at the service. This was the first corsage he gave to his beloved wife Hazel. She had kept it for over 70 years. It was found by the family after Hazel’s untimely passing.

Stories William Brown Paynter, Jr Justin Sean Pioneer DAVID LAYBOURN STORY
William Brown Paynter, Jr. was born November 10, 1920 in Fort Morgan, Colorado, to William Brown and Sarah Grace Iles Paynter and passed away on May 7, 2016 at the Washington County Nursing Home in Akron, Colorado, at the age of 95 ½ years. Bill was the second of four children. Bill grew up in Brush, Colorado and fondly remembered many adventures in and around his home town. Some experiences included the canoe the “Lorna Doone”. He and his brother constructed it and proceeded to float down the South Platte River from Fort Morgan to Sterling, stopping at sandbars, spending the night and being picked up by their mom. The family also spent summers in Estes Park with his father driving back to Brush during the week and joining the family on the weekends. With his siblings, Richard, Stan and Florence (Floss), they spent their days, fishing, hiking, exploring, building forts, swimming in the Big Thompson River, finding old Indian trails, climbing Longs Peak and loving the great outdoors. Their mother, a registered nurse, kept them all healthy and busy throughout the summer. Bill graduated from Brush High School in 1938, as joint Valedictorian with his best friend, Jack Petteys, who was a pilot and later killed in WWII. By working summers and after school, Bill saved up money for college. At CU he worked year round at Norlin Library on the Boulder campus for 30 cents an hour until he graduated. He was very proud of the fact that after graduating from high school, he took no money from his parents. He was accepted into the Navy
on April 15, 1942 as an Assistant Paymaster with the Rank of Ensign. After graduating with honors from CU with a degree in Business Administration and a major in accounting, his orders sent him to the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York. While in New York, he met his future wife, Marguerite Nielsen Rye (Peggy). They were married on March 2, 1943 at the Eben-Ezer Chapel in Brush, Colorado. Bill spent his time in the service in Melbourne, Australia where he was the Paymaster. After 18 months he was allowed to briefly return home to Brush where he got his first sight of their son, William Brown Paynter III, born on December 2, 1943. Bill was honorably discharged from the Navy on February 17, 1946. Bill was accepted at both Harvard and Yale Law Schools, but decided on Yale as they were the first to accept the GI Bill. Their second child, Marguerite Grace (Peggy Ann) was born in New Haven, Connecticut October 5, 1946. The family moved back to Colorado where Bill joined his brother Richard and his father at the Law Offices of Paynter, Paynter & Paynter. While in Brush, their third child, Roxann Rye, was born on August 4,1953. Alonzo Petteys, his friend Jack’s father, asked Bill to come work for him at the Citizens National Bank in Akron as Cashier. He was later promoted to Executive Vice President. In 1962, Mr. Petteys started a new bank in Sterling and Bill moved his family to assume duties as President of the First National Bank of Sterling. After Mr. Petteys died in 1970, his family sold the Sterling bank and Bill moved back to Akron where he returned to the practice of law with Frank D. Allen and later with Kevin Hoyer. During his practice of law in Akron, his service included Akron Town Attorney and Washington County Attorney. Believing in term limits, he also served only one term as mayor for the Town of Akron. Bill was a member of: the Sterling Elks Club, the Rotary Club of Akron, the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8064 in Akron, The Akron American Legion, The
Colorado Bar Association, Akron Masonic Lodge, was a 32nd Degree Mason, and a member of Saint Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Estes Park. At the age of 89, Bill retired from his law practice, turning over the reins to his granddaughter, Kelly Hall Hansen. He and Peggy moved to their beloved cabin in Estes Park, Colorado, where they spent 5 years, reading books, keeping apprised of the upcoming Presidential elections, gazing at Longs Peak every day, and just plain watching the snow fall. He is remembered as a man slow to anger, quick to forgive, stubborn, a great boss, hard-working, a very nice man, and careful with his words. Bill is survived by his loving wife of 73 years Peggy of Akron, his son Bill (Sue) of Phoenix, AZ, his daughter Peggy Ann Cummings (Wendell) of Sedalia, CO, and his daughter Roxann Hall (Terence) of Akron, his 7 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, his sister Florence Beck of Ventura, CA, numerous nieces and nephews, and friends and clients throughout Northeastern Colorado. A memorial service will be held Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 10:30 am at the United Methodist Church of Akron. Memorial Contributions may be made to the Akron Public Library.
Schmidt
Justin Sean Schmidt came into this world on April 16, 1979 and departed life too early at the age of 37 on May 02, 2016. He was born in Texas and soon after they went to live with his grandma and grandpa in Pueblo, Colorado. Later they moved to Arvada living there until his teens. He lived in Denver and Colorado Springs before moving to Yuma, Colorado. After he lived in Yuma about a year or so in 2002 he met the love of his life Michelle. It didn’t take him long to know anywhere she was is where he wanted to be. He accepted his step-daughter Kennedy with open arms and they made many fond memories together like seeing a city boy learning how to become a farm boy. Trying to
Taken from the The Pioneer
Book of Washington County BY MRS. FANNIE (LAYBOURN) WARREN Daughter
David Laybourn was born February 9, 1841 near Springfield, Ohio in Clark County. His wife, Nancy Jane Snodgrass, was born near the same place in Ohio, January 1, 1843. They were married and lived in that locality for a few years. David kept a record in a small book that he carried in his pocket, of a trip he made in 1883, looking for a location in the West. This is taken from that book. He left Ohio August 18, 1883, first visiting his sister, Mrs. Lizzie Allen, whose husband was a photographer in Pontiac, Illinois. He made this note, "Did not like Illinois-it is explain what a swather was and seeing the curious look on his face was priceless. They continued building their lives together and in 2005 he was over-joyed by the birth of his daughter Kylie. Now with their family complete he tried out different jobs looking for his passion, gaining plenty of knowledge on the way. He found it in construction and that is what he was doing up to date. Using his skills to remodel his own home in which he never got to finish. Throughout his whole life he was an exceptional artist. His creativity flowed in every picture he drew gaining many admirers of his work. His love for animals was also shown through his artwork. Drawing murals on the walls in his home of his beloved “cupcakes” for his family to forever enjoy. He resided in Anton at the time of his passing leaving behind his wife Michelle, daughters Kennedy and Kylie. And also, numerous friends and family members. Justin was cremated according to his wishes, and no service will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to Bowin Funeral Home in Akron, Colorado
too flat." Left Pontiac by train, went through Peoria, Illinois; "Did not like the country between Peoria, Illinois and Alma, Nebraska." David visited his brother Charles at Creston, Iowa. There was lots of railroad excitement there; railroads were expected to be built through there. Had chance to get some land there but changed his mind, because of poor crops that year (1883). Went on to Lincoln, Nebraska, but "did not like Adams and Webster counties." This note was written at Newton, Iowa where he stayed overnight. "Worried beyond endurance with bugs. Horrors! Whew! Ugh!" The family of David Laybourn finally settled on a farm near Franklin, Nebraska and lived there a few years. Fannie was three months old at that time. David Laybourn and F. J. Byrd came to Colorado about 1887 ahead of the families with the oldest daughter, Jennie Laybourn, and the grandmother coming with them. On this trip Mrs. Laybourn had made butter for them to bring and they forgot it when they loaded the wagons. The mother worried because they wouldn't have butter and Fannie, a small child, said, "Oh, let them make their own butter." (No cow.) The families of both the Byrds and Laybourns came out on the train that year. The porter had apples to sell and Fannie wanted to buy an apple, but mother said they were too expensive. David Laybourn, Jennie and Charlie all took homesteads. On Charlie's place they had made a dug-out and this is where the family lived until David built the stone house in about 1884. David started the first Sunday School at Cope, in his own home. He dug a cave at the back of the house. This was for storage and keeping things cool in summer. At the time that the land agent showed David Laybourn the place where he homesteaded, there was a big lagoon on it and the agent told him it was a lake and would have fish in it. Also the grass was so lush and green from the rains Continued on page 20

Great save - saves day for Peetz Rams earn #2 seed- host district tourney The Rams played back to back doubleheaders this past week to finish up their regular season. Their first opponent was the Wray Eagles. With the weather not cooperating the Akron team played Wray at the Otis ball diamond so that the games could be completed. Levi Basler took the hill for Rams and pitch a complete game victory allowing only 3 singles while striking out 10. Brock Benson led the offense with 2 hits and i RBI, Raul Alvarez had a base hit and 2 RBI's, Trent Hill, Tanner Watson, Austin Couch all added singles to the offense in the 7-3 win.
Peetz second baseman #5 Logan Sircy makes a great barehanded snag at second base in the 1A District 4 Tournament at Sterling High School last Wednesday. If Sircy misses the ball, Otis’ Bryce Miracle would’ve made it to 3rd base and been in scoring position. Photos by Jerry Patterson
OTIS BULLDOGS V PEETZ BULLDOGS WED/MAY 4
By Jerry Patterson Cullen Glosson led the Bulldogs in strikeouts with seven, in the 7 to 6 loss to Peetz in the 1A District 4 Tournament, at Sterling HS last Wednesday. The Bulldogs gave up four runs in the first inning, but fought back and tied the game at four-all in the bottom the sixth inning. Peetz tacked on three more runs in the top of the seventh inning. Otis rallied back and the tying run was tagged out at home for the last out of the thrilling game. The Bulldogs played a run and gun style of offense that proved successful in 2016. Another key factor for their success was, the Bulldog’s hurlers allowed just 2.77 walks per game against Continued on page 13
The second game of the twin bill had Couch take the mound for his initial start of the season and after a rough 1st inning where he allowed 4 hits and 1 earned run he settled down and got the complete game win while striking out 6 in the 16-2 win.. Basler led the offense going 4 for 4 with 4 RBI's and scoring 4 runs himself, Darrien Guy collected 3 hits including his 6th HomeRun of season with RBI's, Watson and Benson each had 2 hits. Rams with 1 hit apiece were Hill, Alvarez, Reese, and freshman Jaden Hottinger. Playing their 3rd game in 24 hours the Rams took on Me-
rino at the Akron Field and collected their 3rd and 4th wins .Guy picked up the victory with another complete game effort in a hard fought 6-1 win. Guy struck out 5 but was nicked for 7 hits and the 1 earned run. The Rams defense was stellar as they repeatedly worked out of jams late in the game until the offense could put up 5 runs in the 6th with the help of the Merino defense. The final game of the regular season saw Reese make his 1st varsity start and was impressive pitching 3 innings giving up just 1 hit while striking out 3, Benson threw Continued on Page 13

league opponents. Otis ended with the season with a 5 & 2 league record and a 7 and 7 over-all. The Bulldogs still had slim shot at making this week’s regional tournament in Denver. The Dawg’s destiny was in the hands of the Nulca Mustangs. The Mustangs needed a win over the Dove Creek Bulldogs in order for Otis to have a higher ranking than Dove Creek.
Unfortunately for Otis, Nucla lost 14 to 4. There was no guarantee, that Otis would’ve advanced even if they would’ve beat Peetz. The only guaranteed advancers from the four 1A District Tournaments were the four district winners. The other four teams advanced in order of their ranking. The Bulldogs graduate two seniors, J.R. Patterson and Jamie Allacher.
RAMS BASEBALL
2 hits and 1 RBI, Watson, Reese, and Alvarez all collected 1 hit. With the win the Rams secured 2nd place in the league standings and finished the season with a 15-4 record and the 5th rated team in 2A. The Rams host the District tournament this Friday and Saturday with games starting at 9:30 Friday morning.

Eyes and Ears of Clara Johnston Tom and Carol Hoyer are now back in Denver from their winter in Florida. They stopped on Thursday to see Tom's sister Clara Johnston. Jim and Jerrie Wheaton stopped in and they had a nice dinner together with games afterwards.
News from Ron Shaffer, Larry Colpitts family informed family and friends of his recent death. He was the son of Bud and Pearly Colpitts who lived in the Wiladel and Arickaree areas. He attended High Prairie High School and along with others, transferred to Cope High School. He still has family and old friends, especially those who graduated Cope High School classes 1956 - 1959. The family has asked that any gifts be given to the Denver Hospice. The
web site is www.thedenverhospice.org/giving. Linda Sackett went to Brush to visit her dad (Eldred Sidebottom) and her Aunt Ginnie on Monday afternoon Happy Birthday to Connie Payne on Saturday, May 7th. Jerrie had been to the doctor after taking a fall the night before. She sprained her knee and bruised her pride a bit. She said not only did she fall, but it was outside within view of all the neighbors. 3 of the neighbors and Jim had come to check and see that she was alright. Virginia Laybourn went to the dentist in Yuma, Monday, She said she was feeling better but gets tired very easy.
May 6, Jim Wheaton was host to his sister Edna Edelen and husband Keith, all 4 of their children, some of the spouses and 2 of the grandchildren. It was a great day. They stayed long enough for
Jerrie to get off work and visit for a while. It was a full day. After they left, Jim and Jerrie took Adam Wheaton out for his birthday. They were joined by Clara Johnston and had a nice meal. Continued on next page
of the impending danger. That tornado with multiple vortexes, cut a swath a half mile wide from the vicinity of Hwy 109/Genoa Road and Rd 7, meandering along to the southeast before turning due east where severe damage was inflicted at a vacant farm on Rd Z. The multiple vortex activity was noted on the ground by a field of uncut wheat which was laid over on the ground but was salvaged by the crop owner in slow, tedious and meticulous harvesting.
Two meterologists from California filmed that tornado for approximately 45 minutes, which was termed as the Last Chance Tornado, not because of the Last Chance community, but because it was the last chance that season these two storm chasers had an opportunity to chase a storm. They began filming from a location on Rd W north of Hwy 36 and concluded filming on Rd 7 south of Lindon. Bill Reid, one of the meterologists that day, is now with the Tempest

Hopefully readers of this column have registered landline phone and/or cell phone numbers with the CodeRed Weather warning system! In mid April W-Y Communications based in Yuma, publicly announced in area newspapers and on their Facebook social media page on the internet, of having changed Emergency Notification Providers to that of CodeRed. Even though one has been registered with the previous system one now needs to register phones with the new system. If a person is on the computer and internet, a person can go to www.wycomm.org and click on the icon. Those with smart phones can go to the App Store and upload the CodeRed mobile app. Should a person not be on the internet or with a smart phone, forms are available
for this registration and will soon be available publicly in this area. In the words of W-Y Communications, dispatchers are extremely busy during a weather event and cannot guarantee that a notification will be sent otherwise. If a person is on Facebook, one can go to the W-Y Communications page and read weather alerts which are posted. This writer did register phone numbers with the CodeRed and did receive a weather alert later Saturday afternoon in regards to the approaching severe weather as the ugly clouds passed over. How valuable such service would have been July 21, 1993 when the big tornado came through the area south of Lindon. Harvest was in full swing and those in the fields kept their eyes on the skies and were notifying people

Dean and Virginia attended the funeral Saturday Haigler was busy with activities. Jim and Jerrie Wheaton went to their friends the McVickers' moving sale. The McVickers had children exactly the same age as the Wheaton boys with only a few days separating them. It is sad to see them go.

Linda Sackett and Dorothy went to Denver on Saturday.
Saturday the Cope area had rain and hail Virginia said there was an inch of rain and at least 3 inches of hail, at her house. Next Sunday, May 15th, the Arickaree senior class will graduate at 2:00 p.m. at the Arickaree School. Sunday Jim and Jerrie Wheaton picked up Clara Johnston and they went north of Wray to see the carnage left by the tornado of Saturday night. One home was a total loss and two businesses were severely damaged also. There were downed power lines and fences and debris everywhere. The one positive thing was the amount of people out doing what they could to help. Many people had trucks and trailers out picking up debris from the pastures. We live in a fabulous community of people who help one another when disaster strikes. A pat on the back goes out to everyone! Paula Norman made a trip to Denver Monday to meet her Mom and Dad. (Paul and Charleen Bagley) Her mom had a check up from surgery, so Paula and Doug met them for lunch. On Mother’s Day Doug and Paula, were invited to her cousin’s house in north Denver, for brunch. Paula got to see an aunt who lives in Cheyenne that she hasn’t seen for a year. Had a good meal and visit . Did a little shopping before they headed back to Cope Last week in April, Mary Robertson, Janice Williams, and Beverly and Dan Long returned from a 19 day trip to China. They said China was a beautiful country. They all four caught a terrible cold which ruined the last days of the trip but all are better now. Mothers Day at church there was 31 for Sunday School and 43 for church services.

Try to avoid slacking off in other areas.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, though you may be content to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others, you really can show just how compelling you are. CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22 You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this week you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer. All you have to do is reach out for assistance.
A View of Lindon
Tours of Texas taking people interested in storm chasing wherever weather promises such activity from Texas north to the Canadian border and places in between from west to east. On the internet Reid is said to be “the most successful and experienced storm chaser in the country.” Sympathy to the family of Donald Wright, life long resident of the Lindon community until in recent years when he and his wife relocated to Fort Morgan. He passed away early last week and funeral services were held on Saturday. Sympathy to the family of Newell Herron of the Anton/ Arickaree community who was a lifelong resident of that area, whose graveside service was also on Saturday.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this week you may be at the end of your rope. Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries. SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/ Dec 21 Sagittarius, positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting week. Your social Sympathy to the family and relatives of Garry McFarlin of Akron who passed away recently. His grandfather, Dick McFarlin, lived in the Lindon community many years ago and relatives, the Slusser, Walker and Thomas families, are well known in this community. Word has been received of the passing of 102-year old Iris Helget of Morgan County communities.

trust Sylvie when she says the affair is history. For her to sacrifice a necessary business contact because you are insecure would be a mistake. There would be financial consequences, and she has no guarantee that her relationship with you will progress beyond dating. DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of three years slapped me across the face a few nights ago. He has never done that before, and he promised he'd never do it again. After he hit me he immediately apologized, but said I was partly at fault because I had taunted and belittled him. I love him very much and know he would never want to hurt me. We're both in our 20s and have expressed our devout love for each other. My boyfriend is the sweetest guy and truly makes me a happier person, but I don't know if I can fully trust and be in love with him after he hit me. I feel partly responsible for what happened that night, but I know I didn't deserve to be hit. Is my boyfriend an abuser? He has been nothing but caring and supportive and shows no other signs of being abusive. What should I do? -- TAKEN ABACK OUT WEST DEAR TAKEN ABACK: Let me point out that abusers do not start out relationships by being that way. But once slapping starts, it often escalates to pushing, hitting and more serious violence. One of the hallmarks of an abuser is blaming the victim by saying he/she deserved it, and it is a big, red warning sign. Because you have said that your boyfriend has never shown any other signs of being abusive in your three-

Taste of the Plains By Luanne
Recipe: Strawberry’s & Spinach go together so well, this is a very simple recipe for a strawberry salad dressing that will be light & sensational on your next spinach salad. 1 cup fresh strawberry’s 2 T. sugar 2 T. white wine vinegar or lemon juice I like to bring the strawberry’s & sugar to a boil and then turn them off and let cool. When the strawberry mixture is cool I mash them up and then put them though a strainer, this removes the seeds. Then mix with the vinegar, mix well serve on your salad.

year relationship, consider this incident an unfortunate one-time occurrence. But keep your eyes wide open in case it wasn't. DEAR ABBY: I am a retired widower. After my wife died, my first cousin “Julia” invited me to visit her in Florida over the winter. She’s seven years my junior, divorced, lives alone and is a successful Realtor. We had a good time during the two months I was there. The next summer I invited Julia to my home. We had a great time together, but then she had to return to Florida for business. I visited her last winter and one evening while relaxing and watching a movie, we became intimate. It seemed so natural. After that, I moved from the guest room into hers. Julia is now contemplating retirement. We are planning for me to sell my home and move in with her. We are not thinking about marriage or commingling our funds and assets. Our legal documents are in order. Abby, what would you suggest we say to our children, other relatives or anyone else who inquires about our relationship? We have enjoyed each other’s company so much. We just want to grow older together. -- KISSING COUSIN DEAR COUSIN: No announcements are necessary. If you are asked, just smile and say you are both happy, healthy and enjoying each other’s company. Eventually, they’ll get the picture. DEAR ABBY: I found my
birth parents 18 years ago. I always knew I had an older sister. The parents who adopted me are both gone now. They were great parents. Now that I have reconnected with my birth mom and siblings, I have a large family -- two sisters and two brothers. I have a great relationship with my baby
sister; it’s like we’re twins. The problem is, the older sister demands to be the center of attention all the time. I have tried to understand her, but every time we get together we end up mad at each other. It’s like she thinks I’m trying to take her place in the family, which I’m not. I enjoy spending time with

Dear Abby continued from page 19
my baby sister, but we can’t spend much time together because she lives in another state and it’s hard for either of us to travel. When I do get to go there, the older one makes it so unpleasant that I don’t even want to go. How can I get over this or care less about her crap? Thanks! -- MIDDLE SISTER IN THE WEST DEAR MIDDLE SISTER: You might care less about your older sister’s “attitude” if you understand she behaves that way because she may be feeling threatened. By being nasty she’s trying to protect her turf. That you and the younger one have bonded “like twins” makes her feel excluded. Try to resent her less, sympathize more, and make her feel included. However, if that doesn’t work, see less of her so she can’t ruin the visit.
DEAR ABBY: My son is getting married in the fall and we’re all looking forward to the celebration. There’s just one problem. My daughter will be in the wedding and the bridesmaids’ dresses are strapless. She will look beautiful in the dress, but she adopted a “hippy lifestyle” a year ago and stopped shaving her armpits. The bride-to-be asked me how to approach her to request that she remove her armpit hair on the day of the wedding. Is there a tactful way to approach this without offending my daughter and possibly causing bad feelings between her and the bride? -- UNSURE IN NEW JERSEY DEAR UNSURE: I would discourage you from doing that. Although every bride wants her wedding to be “perfect,” there’s a point at which she must realize there are some things she can’t control. An example of where that boundary should be drawn would be at her bridesmaids’ armpits. During a formal wedding ceremony, bridesmaids usually keep their arms down, so unless your daughter’s “pit hair” is so long she can braid it, it should not distract attention from the bride. P.S. If hairy armpits in the wedding pictures concern her, they can be Photoshopped off.
Pioneer Story continued
that year, that he really thought he was locating in the garden spot of Colorado. In the drought years that followed, the water in this lagoon, or "Buffalo Wallow," as they were known, dried up, of course, and it was a standing joke in the family to call it "Father's Lake." There were never any fish in it, for the simple reason that the water never stood long enough. Livestock watered in them during the wet years. David Laybourn was the first Notary Public at Cope and people would come by team and wagon or on horseback. They often stayed overnight and they and their horses were fed. Mrs. Laybourn was provoked about this. The fee for notary service was 25c and no pay for meals or horse feed. Mr. Laybourn got into the sheep raising business and the boys in the family got to be proficient in the business and the shearing of sheep at home and for others. They made shearing tours to other places; in: Nebraska and Wyoming as well as in Colorado. The children of David and Nancy Laybourn were: Jennie-born April 9, 1866 near Springfield, Ohio, died June 6, 1934. Will-born September 18, 1868, near Creston, Iowa, died September 11, 1934. Harry-born August 6, 1869 was hurt in a fall in 1900 and spent seven years in a wheel chair. He died December 18, 1908. Charles G.-born December 28, 1872 in Missouri and died February, 1955. Andrew-born January 13, 1875 in Indiana, died January 1918. Frank-born October 25, 1878 near Springfield, Ohio, died
in 1933. Fannie-born July 9, 1883, Concludes on next page
