wo of my favorite books areJohn Fielders Best ofrado and his Colorado: Lostes and Forgotten Words.hough published several years
they are still available andrent from most of Fielders
ks because they contain notgreat photographs but also
ments from early writers whoed Colorado and more recentments from people who wantrotect the states naturalty.ielder quoted Presidentdore Roosevelt on observinguntain valley in springtime:The green of the valley was a
ght to the eye. Bird songsded on every side, from thes and from the trees andes beside the brooks...the airsweet with the springtimeh of many budding things.e also quoted poet Waltman, who visited Coloradoobserved ...the chasm, thee, the crystal mountainm...the fantastic forms bathedansparent browns, faint redsgrays, towering sometimes asand feet high...mixing withlouds with only their outlines,d in misty lilac.
Writer Hal Borland described ament in his childhood onrados eastern plains when hehis father stopped to appre-the beauty around them:
Father drew up the horses for aent and just sat and looked...I
ed at him, and I looked againe distance, and I felt a kind of
inside myself, and a sense ofthat made me not want to sayrd. It was so big, so vast, soso wonderful.oth of these books cover thee state, not just the mountains,reveal the beauty of placesy visitors never seedeepen canyons on the westerne; vast prairie vistas on thern plains.these books, Fielder wanted
o more than just present
res. He wanted to help peopleze how fragile Colorados
natural environment is and howimportant it is to protect the lostplaces where we can go to findbeauty, peace and solitude.
Thats why he said, In todaysage of catastrophes, ocean oilspills, destruction of the ozonelayer...a look back in time gener-ates questions we should ask
ourselves. Toward what end are wetaking our civilization?And thats why he quotes
people like former ColoradoGovernor Dick Lamm, who said,There must be lost places formankind to keep its sanity. Wemust have ways to get away...forrenewal, for rejuvenation and forworship.
Fielder knows that a picture isnot worth a thousand words. Inthese books, he uses words to
enhance his pictures and give themmeaning. He recalled remarks
from one of Americas greatconservationists, Stewart Udall:
There are today a few wilder-ness reaches on the NorthAmerican continentin Alaska, inCanada and in places of the RockyMountainswhere the earlymorning mantle of primevalAmerica can be seen in its pristine
glory...where one can gaze withwonder on the land as it was whenthe Indians first came.
These books combine powerfulphotographic images withinspiring words and leave us with agreater appreciation of the placewhere we live.________________COVER PICTURE: Fielders

He rescued lostle and saved injured animals,red poachers, faced death fromr blizzards, fought forest firesealt with people who did stranges in the mountains.is story was told inollections of a Rocky Mountainer, edited by Lulie and Jack

He graduated from high school atage 23 and married Lila Weese fromLyons, the small town west ofLongmont. Her father was wealthyand left Lila enough money for herand Jack to buy a small farm.
But Jack liked climbing mountains,not farming, and he spent most of histime then guiding tourists up the highpeaks around Rocky Mountain NationalPark, which was established in 1915.
In 1923, Jack became one of theParks first rangers. In those days, the job required great physical stamina.
Jack was often sent to rescue peoplein extreme weather and underdangerous conditions.
But he loved it. He especiallyliked the opportunity to search forartifacts of Stone Age people who hadbeen in the Park thousands of yearsago. He became a well known

Jack was not a model of decorum,however. When young, he bootleggedwhiskey, chased women and some-times drank too much.
Although he was promoted andhonored for exemplary service, hiscarefree behavior may have kept himfrom becoming superintendent of thePark, said the book editors. He retiredin 1945 after 23 years of service.

or Becky Gerken eye care health has always been a priority,
especially with a history of glaucoma in her family. As the wifeof a pediatric dentist, she knows the importance of having a top-notch ophthalmologist. Becky became frustrated using readingglasses with her contacts for close-up work making jewelry. Shealso didnt want to wear glasses for her daughters wedding. Dr.Kirk and Dr. Colvin determined Becky was an excellentcandidate for Lasik and suggested Monovision, where one eyedoes the close up work and the other eye sees far away. Kirk EyeCenter coordinated and co-managed Beckys Lasik with areknowned Denver eye surgeon.
The outcome of my Lasik is much better than I ever imagined. Thesurgery went quickly, and I had no discomfort or problems with dryeye. Now I can see distances and close up for my jewelry workwithout glasses. The help and support from everyone here at Kirk EyeCenter has been wonderful. I wouldnt go any place else.
If youd like to see your future more clearly choose Kirk EyeCenter as your eye care provider. Youll be glad you did.

eeley pioneer BenjaminEaton was one of the firsters in northern Colorado. Heater a territorial legislator andrly governor.aton came to Colorado in l858ng to strike it rich in the golds. But like many others, he
overed the odds were againstng rich that way.
fter three years, he left thefields and settled on the
he la Poudre River betweeneley and Fort Collins. Hened briefly to Ohio in l863e he married Rebeccah Hill.
With his new bride, he cameto his cabin on the Poudre
where he plowed the land and builtan irrigation ditch. During thel860s, he sold his crops to mining
camps west of Denver.In l870 he helped the UnionColonists select the site that becamethe town of Greeley. When NathanMeeker and others were inColorado looking for a site, Eatonsuggested they settle along thefertile land where the Poudre andPlatte rivers come together. He alsotold the colonists he would contractto build irrigation ditches for them.
Thus it was mainly Ben Eatonwho was responsible for Greeley
being located where it is. He laterowned much land in the area andbecame a major developer of irri-gation projects.
These made him far wealthierthan gold mining probably everwould have. In fact, Eaton wastypical of many Colorado pioneers,

Eaton was elected governor inl884, four years after he built a

While the exemption wasnded for three years during thet recession, it is back in effect.while it saves retirees about $70on in taxes each year, it has oneroblem, in my view. If you sellhome, you lose your exemption.any retirees do sell their home
ove into a smaller one. So whilemay be forced to downsize your

his inequity by extending themption to any retiree who has

ure to fix this problem. My billd allow one move within a ten
year period. The bill will also allowretirees to receive an exemption ifthey are the widow of a disabledveteran or if their home was destroyedby natural disaster.
I have bipartisan support for thismeasure and will work to lessen theburden of property taxes onColorados retirees and to make thistax relief more fair.
There are some other ways retireescan save on their property taxes. Oneis the Property Tax Deferral Programfor the Elderly and Disabled adminis-tered by the Colorado State Treasurer.In this program, the state pays yourproperty tax and places a lien againstyour property for the amount of thetax plus interest. When your propertyis sold, the state is repaid for the taxes
it paid for you. You must be 65 yearsor older to qualify.Larimer County also runs a Senior
Citizens Property Tax Work-offprogram where you can worktemporarily for Larimer County tohave your earnings pay off part ofyour property tax bill.

and then they set out after thens. They found them, shot some ofand got the cows back.
t Fort Phil Kearny north of whatbecame Casper, the army told Storyuld not go farther because of then threat. He was ordered to camphis herd a couple of miles away
from the fort. One morning, the soldierswoke up to find that Story had taken the
cattle north in the middle of the night.He made it to Montana, thus estab-

the identification and the location of
the various assets and documents and
also identify key people to contact,

where the personal representative can

Everything should be held in joint

directs the residuary estate one way

me, we would still be in a fairly
ax bracket. Your comments?
: Very good idea, and ahead of
rowd. You are likely to find that
the rent and utilities will be less than
the operating cost of your house. And
since youll no longer have equity tied
up in a house, you can put it to work to
pay your rental expenses.
I believe many middle-income
Americans will discover that the
equity in their home is the biggestsingle lever on their retirement stan-
dard of living. They will learn that
they can either have a lot of shelter, or
they can choose to have less shelter
and more disposable income.
The one revision I would make to
your plan is to invest the money in a
conservative portfolio that includes
equities. If the money is all in CDs or
other fixed-income investments, your
interest income will remain constant
but your rent will rise with inflation.
Eventually, there will be a significant
gap. This is a virtual certainty.Invested conservatively, you could
draw from your shelter nest egg at 4
percent to 5 percent. You would have
a high probability of keeping up with
inflation. Another benefit is that your
dividend and capital gains income
would be taxable at 15 percent.
Should You Rent in RetirementI wish more people had your fore-
sight. The most common problem
older people have is being incapable of
moving even when the house no longer
suits their needs, is increasingly expen-
sive, hard to maintain, and too large.
Many people who do move from a
house to an apartment discover that
they can live just as wel
space. Many people who li
with 3,000 square feet, f

But most people dont get treat-ment soon enough, and its then

Medical experts dont know what

It also suggests that many patients

He became interested in acting at18 while working at a movie theaterin Georgia. He said he was so
appalled by the comic acting he sawthat he decided he couldnt do anyworse. So in 1913 he went toJacksonville, Florida, where one ofthe early movie companies waslocated. In three years (1914 to 1917),he made over 100 comic films.
By the time the Great Depressionset in, Hardy was a celebrity making$2,000 a week, a huge amount then.He spent a lot of his money at horseracing tracks and casinos. Golf wasanother of his passions, and he wondozens of trophies.
He also liked to cookand eatthough he was sensitive about hisweight. He was six feet, two inchestall and apparently it took more than adainty dish to satisfy him. One restau-rant owner said Hardys favorite mealwas a 32-ounce New York steak withtwo dozen potatoes fried in pure hamfat.
Hardy had a good singing voiceand on several occasions gaveimpromptu concerts with his friendBing Crosby. He also enjoyedhunting, until he shot a deer. He was
so saddened by the dying animalsexpression that he gave up hunting.

What made them so popular? Agood answer came from biographerRandy Skretvedt, author of the bookLaurel and Hardy: The MagicBehind the Movies.
Stan and Ollie are believable,human characters, said Skretvedt.Their comedy comes out of theirpersonalities, not from jokes. They arecloser to real people than the othergreat clowns.

in Seattle are reluctant to use radiation
machines.
We generally dont use CT scans
unless there is a life-threatening
condition, Virginia Mason specialist
Giao Nguyen told New York times
investigators.
Researchers have found that the
amount of radiation that patientsreceive can vary greatly, depending on
the machines used and the technicians
operating the machines. Some techni-
cians administer ten times more
radiation than others.
Mettler believes that is too much
variation. Thats why he would like to
see the FDA involved in regulating
radiation doses. The FDA could at least
pressure machine manufacturers to use
lower radiation doses and monitor the
machines uses closely, he said.
Part of the problem stems from theincreased use of CT scans in recent
years. Since 1980, the number of such
scans given patients has increased from
3 million to over 62 million. When
health providers have the machines,
they seem to want to use themsome-
times perhaps when they should not.

Your QuestionAbout Money
By Scott Burns
Financial Writer
Q: I am retired, age 61, with a$35,000-a-year pension, no debts and
$300,000 in a 401(k). The 401(k) is in
a stable value fund. A certified finan-
cial planner (CFP) advises me to roll
the 401(k) over to a self-directed IRA
and invest the money in life settle-
ments and equity-indexed annuities.
Is this a good plan?
A: You should check whether this
person is actually a Certified Financial
Planner. You can do this at the Web
site:www.cfp.net/default.asp.
Given the recommendations, I findit difficult to believe that your planner
has done the work for the CFP desig-
nation.
The certification CFP means the
person devotes time each year to
update his or her knowledge and, most
important, agrees to abide by a code of
ethics. That is no guarantee of moral
perfection, and most CFPs regularly
deal with the conflict of their commis-
sions vs. their clientsbest interests.
The recommendations given you,
however, are 100 percent commis-
sion-driven. They have absolutelynothing to do with your needs.
Life settlements, otherwise
known as viatical settlements, are the
purchase of life insurance death bene-
fits from an insured person who is
terminally ill. In theory, you purchase
the death benefit at a discount that is
based on the insureds much-reduced
life expectancy.

ride through the mountains to Cripple
Creek took nine hours, and she often
recounted it as the most wonderful
ride of her life.
It was a bright moonlight night,
and the carriage crossed creeks and
climbed cliffsides along the edge of
dark precipices.In Cripple Creek, a woman from
County Mayo welcomed Maude to
her small wooden house and gave her
a breakfast of bacon and eggs and a
cup of Irish breakfast tea strong
enough for a cat to walk on.
Maude went into the mines and
gave the men the latest news from
Ireland. When the shift changed, she

er near midnight on November
897.
aude Gonne was an Irish patriot

Ireland to the United States in
terest of Irish political prisoners
were being held and tortured in
English prisons. Her remarks appar-
ently fired up the miners to take Miss
Gonne back with them to Cripple
Creek so the Irish there might see this
wild Irish rose for themselves.Earlier in the evening, Colorado
Governor Adams had introduced
Maude Gonne as the Irish Joan of
Arc, saying, She has not come in
glittering armor of steel but with a
tongue of eloquence and the witchery
of a beautiful woman.
In a voice eloquent with sweet-
ness and clarity, she began, Deep in
the heart of the Celt is a wild love of
liberty which the Saxon cannot
understand. Centuries may pass, but
as long as there is one Irishman
living, there will be a struggle to
break the chains that shackle us to
England.
When she finished her speech, the
audience went wild with applause.
Ladies in the theater flung their
flowers to her, and gentlemen near the
front leaped onto the stage to take her
hand.
The Denver Post reported, The
maid of Erin was clad in a closely
fitting broad-cloth dress, which set off
her long, lithe figure to advantage.
The reporter was struck more withher appearance than her message, and
that was not surprising, for Maude
Gonne was one of the great beauties
of the Victorian age. In Ireland, poet
William Butler Yeats fell under the
spell of her beauty and immortalized
her in his poetry. He wrote of their
first meeting, I had never thought to
see in a living woman so great
beauty.
Born into the aristocratic Cook
family, she was part of the industrial
class that ruled Britain in the 19th
century. She was disowned by herfamily when she chose to champion
the Irish peasantry in their battle with
British rule.
During Queen Victorias reign
alone, the population of Ireland was
reduced from 8.5 million to 4 million,
and one million of those starved to
death. Maude Gonne had seen Irish
tenants evicted from their homes and
left to freeze, and she had never
forgotten it.

Stillwell and Trudeau finally
reached Fort Wallace. The few
survivors at Beecher Island were
saved, and they honored Stillwells
heroic effortthough most historiansforgot him.
Stillwell later studied law and
became a judge in Texas. He also
came to know George Armstrong
Custer, Wild Bill Hickok and other
frontiersmen.
The commander at the battle, Maj.
George Forsyth, later wrote about it
and the bravery of his men:
Howard Morton lost one of his
eyes by a bullet that lodged just
behind it, but wrapped a handkerchief
around his head and fought
on...Harrington, with an arrow point
lodged squarely in his frontal bone,
never ceased to bear his full share in
the fray...
We were out of food...the meat
cut from the dead mules and horses
had become putrid, and although we
boiled it and sprinkled gunpowder
upon it, it was not palatable. One of
the scouts succeeded in shooting a
little coyote...the head was boiled
three successive times to extract the
last shred of nutriment it contained...
After six days, Forsyth told the
soldiers who were not wounded they
might make a run for it and escape.
He said:
Those of us who were wounded
must take our chances. If relief came
in time, well and good. If not, we
were soldiers and knew how to meet
our fate.
For a few seconds, there was a
dead silence, and then rose a hoarse
cry of Never! Never! Well stand by
you!
A few years later, Forsyth met one
of the Indians from the battle andasked him how many warriors were
killed:
The chief held up his two hands
seven times together, and then one
hand singly, which the interpreter told
me signified 75...Just as he started to
go, he stopped and spoke to the inter-
preter again. He wishes to know
whether you did not get enough of it.
Tell him yes, all I wanted, was
my reply. How about himself?...He
gave a grim, half-humorous look and
then, unfolding his blanket and
opening the breast of his buckskinshirt, pointed to where a bullet had
