By Bill Lambdin The Virginia Dale Commu-nity Club recently celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Virginia Dale stagecoach station north of Fort Collins near the Wyoming border. It is the only known Overland Trail stage station still standing in the nation and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1862, its history in-volves pioneers, outlaws and oth-er colorful people. Mark Twain wrote about Jack Slade, a famous badman who served as station manager and robbed the very stages he was supposed to protect. At the celebration, over 100 people heard presentations by lo-cal historian Wayne Sundberg,

Eva Middleton, Joan Day, Hugh Bingham, Gordon Chavis, and Dick Hart. There was also a stage-coach display, spinning demon-stration, antique cars exhibit, and other events. The non-profit Community Club needs to raise $200,000 to stabilize the building’s structure. “We need some large corporate donors as well as individual con-tributors,” said Joan Day. For information, call Sylvia Garafalo at 970.495.1828; or Marcie Wells at 970.568.7646. Also see www.virginiadalecom-munityclub.org. The Voice staff believes it is important to preserve this valu-able piece of America’s heritage, and we hope others agree.■

William and Peggy Lambdin Founders, 1980

Online at www.theseniorvoice.net

By Peggy Hunt Ann Bassett was one of the most beautiful women in the early West—and one of the most deter-mined. She was a woman of grace and charm, but she kept a gun next to her bed and knew how to use it. She could quote Shakespeare but went on wild midnight rides with cowboys. She became a legend in her own time when she beat down a cattle baron in a tri-umph for small ranchers. The drama of her life was played out on a cattle ranch in northwest Colo-rado and eastern Utah—the Brown’s Park area where Butch Cassidy’s Wild Bunch and other outlaws hid out in the late 1800s. She knew Cassidy when he worked on their ranch before he became an outlaw. Ann received a good educa-tion that might have prepared her for a genteel life in the East. But she chose to live on the ranch and fight for its survival against the cattle kings who ran rough shod over small ranchers and farmers at that time. It was the time of range wars and hired guns like Tom Horn. In fact, Ann believed that a cattle baron named Ora Haley hired Tom Horn to kill her boyfriend. She became determined to beat Haley after that. The big-time operators grazed herds anywhere they chose, of-ten ignoring the rights of home-steaders. Every inch of grazing land and every water hole was precious in the desert country of Brown’s Park.

It was—and still is—a deso-late land difficult to survive on. Blistering summer heat and fierce winter storms had to be endured miles from civilization. But Ann loved the hard country and was determined

not to be pushed off her land. She hired cowboys to stampede her enemy’s herds in the middle of the night, and sometimes she rode with them. She allowed outlaws to hide out in remote areas of the ranch, some of whom helped her fight the big ranchers. Her battle against Ora Haley went on for years and became one of the fierc-est in the history of the American cattle industry. She was a woman in a man’s world, fighting a war against overwhelming odds; but

she was iron-willed and strong. At one point, she married Hal-ey’s foreman just to affect her enemy’s ability to operate. The foreman was 20 years older than she. It was a desperate move that ended in a loveless marriage and divorce when she was 34 years old. But her actions did affect Hal-ey. In a last-ditch effort, some said he slaughtered and buried a steer

on Ann’s ranch, then accused her of rustling when the steer was discovered. In truth, Ann probably did rustle the steer—and numerous others from the big operators. Her trial was highly pub-licized, and her victory was more than a personal tri-umph. It was a victory for small ranchers throughout

the area. The victory was no surprise since the jurors were

mostly ranchers like Ann and disliked the big cattle compa-

nies. During the trial, a reporter re-ferred to her as “queen of the cattle rustlers.” She came to be known as “Queen Ann,” and that suited her just fine. In 1923 she married a miner named Frank Willis, and they lat-er lived in Utah. She returned to Brown’s Park during many sum-mers before she died in 1956 at age 78. She once said of the harsh land she fought so hard for: “It was the only thing I ever selfishly loved.”________________COVER PICTURE: A cowgirl taken by Colorado photogra-pher Andy Cook.

Credit Agency Errors

Errors by the three major credit reporting agencies affect thou-sands of Americans, according to a year-long study by the Cleve-land, Ohio, “Dispatch” newspaper of 30,000 consumer complaints filed with the Federal Trade Com-mission. The errors have kept honest people from receiving medical care, buying a home or car, open-ing a checking account, getting a job, and doing other things. Some people are ruined financially. The agencies involved are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Errors include wrong Social Se-curity numbers, wrong birth dates, addresses, bad debt listings, late payments, even such nonsense as saying a woman had prostate can-cer. The agencies often will not cor-rect errors. Ohio attorney General Mike DeWine said, “This is some-thing the average citizen can’t control and can’t fix.” ■

Liver Failure The leading cause is taking too much acetaminophen, said a report in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. It’s in Tylenol and other products; and many Americans take high doses daily (8 to 12 capsules of 4 to 6 grams each or more), said researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois. They say high doses are “a serious public health threat.”

Fat-Free Salad Dressings They reduce the nutrients you want from the vegetables, said a report in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research. Some fat in dressings is necessary to absorb things like beta-carotene and lycopene. “If you want to utilize more from your fruits and vegetables, you have to pair them correctly with fat-based dressings,” said researcher Mario Ferruzzi at Purdue University.

Statins Those like Zocor and Pravachol appear to cause significant energy loss in both men and women, more so in women, said a report in the Annals of Internal Medicine. “The only group for whom the benefits of taking statins has clearly been shown to outweigh the risks has been men under age 70 who have heart disease,” said Dr. Beatrice Golomb at the University of California.

Osteoporosis Drugs They appear to provide little benefit for women who take them beyond five years, said a report in the New England Journal of Medicine. Many women take the drugs to strengthen bones and avoid fractures, but the benefit seems limited except for women with very low bone-mineral density, said researchers.

Over Active Thyroid It can cause serious heart problems, especially an irregular heartbeat, said a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine. It’s not as serious as hyperthyroidism (under active thyroid), but about 10% of Americans have it. The medicine used to treat it can cause a variety of side effects and appears to be ineffective for mature patients, said researchers.Eye Infections They can be caused by the acne medicine Accutane that’s often used by teenagers, said a report in the Archives of Dermatology. Infections include pink eye, styes and other problems. But using artificial tears eye drops while using Accutane can avoid the infections, said researchers.Forgetfulness It’s common among adults over age 65, even those who are highly

educated, said a report in Aging, Neuropsychology and Cognition by researchers at the University of Michigan. “Everybody forgets,” said researcher Cindy Lustig. However, Type 2 diabetes causes more than normal forgetfulness, said University of California researchers. Diabetes also affects other cognitive functions.Premature Babies Some have a higher risk of developing mental disorders, said a report in the Archives of General Psychiatry. About 11% of adults with bipolar disorder, for instance, were born prematurely. The study was conducted at Kings College London. ■

(Editor’s Note: Greeley historian Hazel Johnson wrote the follow-

ing story years ago.) George Young and Leona Crom were early Greeley settlers and years ago recalled some inci-dents in their lives. George said, “My mother herd-ed cattle from Greeley to Denver. She also delivered mail on horse-back. “We had an upstairs room, and I was playing in it one day as a small child. I unhooked the screen and fell out of the window. “Luckily I fell across some clothes lines, which broke my fall and saved my life. I didn’t unhook screens after that.” Young served in the Union Army during the Civil War, was captured by Confederates and im-prisoned at Andersonville. He lat-er came to Greeley and operated a general store for many years.

Leona Crom’s parents came to Pierce north of Greeley in a cov-ered wagon. She recalled: “I remember in the early days here there was nothing but cactus, prairie, wind and big cattle herds being driven through. There was

much friction between the sheep and cattle men. “Our social life revolved around the Literary Society. After a school house was built, we had good programs and debates. Then there were square dances, hay rides and ice skating in winter. “My father always took us to Greeley if there was a circus. I re-call the time he came home with one of those new Edison phono-graphs. “He walked into the house with it playing some musical number, and one of my sisters burst into tears. “When we finally got her to stop crying, she said she thought it was the end of the world and an-gels were singing.” ■

Memories of

Early Settlers


Editor’s Note: The homestead cabin of Estes Park settler Enos Mills still stands south of town. His granddaughter wrote this

story.

By Elizabeth Mills Mills built the cabin in the late l800s after he first climbed Longs Peak in l885 and conceived the idea of making the area above Estes Park a national park to pre-serve its beauty. He devoted much of his life to that dream, and Congress finally created Rocky Mountain National Park in l9l5. Mills climbed Longs Peak over 200 times and was recognized as one of the finest nature guides in America. He also wrote many books and took nearly 20,000 photographs of the area around Estes Park. The Enos Mills Cabin is a mu-

seum dedicated to the life, philos-ophy and personal achievements of Mills. For many years, Enos’ old homestead cabin stood quiet-ly enduring time. In l968 Enos’ daughter, Enda (not Edna), started a remembrance for the man who believed Mother Earth deserved a voice. In l973, the Enos Mills Cabin was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In this small, unpretentious museum with no electricity, we attempt to cover Enos’ history, his interests, whom he associated with, the impact he had on people, his Long’s Peak Inn hotel, people who helped him with the cause of Rocky Mountain National Park, those who fought the proposal, and the people he found interest-ing. The museum and the 200 acres it is situated on are cared for by Enos’ descendants. We reprinted several of Enos’ books, plus some rare books by pioneers such as Anna Dickinson, one of the first women to climb Longs Peak. Museum and cabin hours in the winter are by appointment; in the summer, 11 am to 4 pm. See www.enosmills.com. ■

Estate Planning

By Ron Rutz, AttorneyIn planning an estate, the following are matters to be concerned about. In making a list of assets that will be used by your personal rep-resentative for settlement purposes, include computer and account pass-words, codes, access numbers, etc. Otherwise, these safeguards set up for your protection turn into barri-ers making the settlement process at times extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to break through, even with the provider’s help. People are becoming increas-ingly “wired to the internet”; so a list should be made of social media affiliations such as Facebook and Twitter, along with websites where subscriptions or contact fees have been paid. For each such item, it would also

be helpful to know ahead of time what happens at death, who inherits a website’s information and picto-rial content, what procedures must be followed, etc. If your attorney, for example, advises setting up bank accounts, stock accounts, etc., naming someone as your agent, do not add the person as an “owner” even if the banker says it will make settlement easier. If you make the person an owner, a gift has been made with resulting gift tax conse-quences. After death, if the person now claims ownership, it becomes very difficult for the estate to re-claim the proceeds. Finally, with the assets passing to the “agent,” the overall estate distribution can-not be accomplished as mapped out in the Will. ________________Attorney Ron Rutz will answer questions sent to [email protected].

By John Kefalas, State Representative It was June 11 and Day 3 of the High Park Wildfire that surpassed 36,000 acres and raged out of control. Lives were at risk, homes were destroyed or damaged, people and animals were evacuated, roads were closed and events were cancelled due to poor air quality. This natural disaster was upgraded to a Type 1, which means it was very complex, and national resources had to be called in to help. Our windows remained closed, and as I jogged along the Poudre River I was stunned to see the magnitude of the billowing smoke and how the fire had spread below the high ridge towards Horsetooth Res-ervoir and points north. It was a stark reminder of how Mother Nature is truly in charge and that we must be mindful of treating her with respect for future genera-tions. The lack of rain and snowpack, extremely dry conditions, dead trees due to mountain bark beetle infestations, and the urban-wildland interface are all factors that will provide for a wildfire season of his-toric proportions. The State of Colorado has a critical role in protecting lives and property, and keeping our forests and watersheds healthy and resilient through the State Forest Service and Colorado State University.

Cheyenne Frontier Days de-serves to be called “the grand dad-dy of ‘em all.” Cowboys who had trailed cattle to Wyoming in the late 1800s and chose to settle down here were liv-ing mundane lives working on lo-cal ranches. They welcomed the chance to show off their skills in the first primitive rodeo. The first event in 1897 was such a success in getting the coun-try cousins into town for fun and frivolity that a bigger contest was planned for the next year. And with success, it grew from a one-

day show to its present time of a full week. It went through two world wars and the Great Depres-sion without ever missing a year. The first parades consisted of cowboys on unruly mounts fol-lowing staid citizens in their top hats and tail coats riding in shiny black carriages. The first females in the parades were “ladies of the night” brought up from Denver by some wealthy cowmen. They rode sidesaddle with a bit of limb pro-truding through the ruffles. This was too much for the town mothers, who were trying to make the celebration more family ori-entated. So they added a touch of class to the parade by dressing in their grandmothers’ finery and rid-ing in old buggies brought in from ranches.

Today’s parades feature the world’s largest collection of horse-drawn buggies and vehicles carry-ing elegantly costumed ladies. As Frontier Days grew, the downtown entertainment did also. Street dances were held with whole blocks roped off for the revelers. Square dancers “do-cee-doed” and Indian performers presented tradi-tional dances. Often the revelry reverted to rioting in the midnight hours as rowdies went from bar to bar in disorderly conga lines. Once the street between two cafes was cov-ered with shattered glass as drink-ers tossed their empty glasses in the air. Today’s Frontier Days recall some wild and woolly times in old Cheyenne. ■

New Kind of Wellness The Good Samaritan Society at Fort Collins Village recently invested in innovative gym equipment and has developed a successful wellness pro-gram for residents, family and staff, according to Community Relations Di-rector Kelley Baros. The program helps participants lose weight, stop smoking, become phys-ically active, and make other improvements. “It is different because it ben-efits people with a variety of goals and aspirations, not just weight loss,” said Wellness Director Leann Walters. One member’s goal was to become more socially active. The group helped her get in touch with many former friends and make new ones, said Walters.“It’s amazing how much this program has helped individuals as well as unite people around the Village,” said administrator Brad Boatright ■.

In some cases, children can receive Social Security disability benefits. If your child who lives with you has a disability and you also have limited income and re-sources, your child may be able to receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) disability benefits. SSI is another program run by Social Security. SSI is a needs-based program funded through general tax reve-nues. To qualify, your child must meet the following requirements: Be under age 18, not work-ing and not earning more than $1,010 a month in 2012. (This earnings amount changes every year.) If he or she is working and earning that much money, we will determine that your child is not disabled. The child must have a physical

or mental condition (or a combi-nation of conditions) that results in “marked and severe function-al limitations.” This means the condition(s) must very seriously limit your child’s activities. The child must have a condi-tion that has lasted, or is expect-ed to last, at least 12 months, or is expected to result in death. Once your child reaches age 18, SSI disability benefits might still be payable as an adult. Also an adult who was disabled before reaching age 22 might be eligible for Social Security benefits as a “disabled adult child.” For a disabled adult to become entitled to this “child” benefit, one of the parents must be receiv-ing Social Security retirement or disability benefits; or must be deceased and have worked long enough to be covered under So-cial Security. ■

(Editor’s Note: Fort Collins historian and longtime Senior

Voice writer Josephine Clements passed away recently. The fol-lowing is from her autobiogra-

phy.)

I was born March 9, 1921, in a spring snowstorm in the little town of Ridgway on the Western Slope of Colorado. My parents, Thomas Henry Lambe and Mil-dred Amanda Payson Lambe, had a ranch there.

My grandfather, John H. Pay-son, rode horseback to Ouray to get the doctor who drove a horse and buggy through the snow to the ranch. My mother named me Josephine for the girl Jo in Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women.”

Before I was three, we moved

to Fort Collins. My two broth-ers were born there: John Payson Lambe and George Edward Be-atty.

My mother taught in the rural schools there. My first grade was in a one-room mountain school where she was the only teacher. The next year she taught in a two-room school close to Ft. Collins, and I had second and third grade there with her.

After that, my brothers and I attended Cache la Poudre School in La Porte. In the 1930s Depres-sion, we lived on a farm near Bell-vue where my grandfather farmed wheat and alfalfa with a team of horses. We were six miles from town and shopped on Saturdays.

Everyday life included the

radio, a big barn with a loft and home-cured meats. My grand-mother made head cheese, chick-en fried or boiled with dumplings and apple pie. I don’t know how they did it, but it was a won-derfully rich experience to re-member. We had the piano, local newspaper, magazines, and a big library of books.

After high school, I attended what is now Colorado State Uni-versity and graduated in 1940. In August 1947, I married Arthur Dale Clements in Ft. Collins. He had served with the U.S. Marines in the Pacific in World War II. We moved to California, and he attended Stanford University on the G.I. Bill and graduated with an M.B.A. from the School of Business in 1949.

We had three children, Judith Alice, David Arthur and John Payson. In 1959, we moved to Red Bluff, California, where I taught at Antelope Elementary School for over 17 years. My three children attended school there, and I thoroughly enjoyed the many friendships I had with students, past and present. ■

By Natalie Phillips Advanced Otolaryngology and Audiology located in Fort Collins has been successfully providing tinnitus and sound sensitivity treat-ments to patients. In addition to tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT) and the Neuromonics tinnitus treatment (NTT), Advanced Otolaryngology and Audiology will now be the first in the Northern Colorado area to provide a NEW FDA-cleared effective treatment of tinnitus using Serenade®, a com-plete sound therapy device from SoundCure®, a consumer medical company focused on tinnitus solu-tions. The Serenade device is simple to use and customized specifically to the patient’s tinnitus. It consists of a handheld patient device to gener-ate sound therapy, earphones, and proprietary treatment sounds that research has suggested may address the underlying neurological cause of tinnitus and may be used for

acute or long-term relief. The unique tones, developed in-dependently by researchers at the University of California, Irvine, are frequency pitch matched and am-plitude modulated sounds played at a specific rate designed to produce neural activity that can reduce the perception of tinnitus. Dr. Natalie Phillips, Audiologist at Advanced Otolaryngology and Audiology, has been working with tinnitus and sound sensitivity pa-tients for the past 12 years. She said, “The SoundCure Serenade device provides patients with another op-tion to achieve effective long-term relief for their tinnitus that is practi-cal and affordable.” If you have any questions, or would like to find out if Serenade is suitable for you, please do not hesitate to schedule an appointment or contact Dr. Phillips at Advanced Otolaryngology and Audiology at (970) 493-5334 or at [email protected] ■.

A man and wife were shop-ping, and he put a $10 case of beer in the cart. She said, “What are you doing? We can’t afford that. Put it back.” A few isles later, she picked up a $20 jar of facial cream, and he said, “Can we afford that?” “It’s my face cream. It makes me look beautiful.” “So does a case of beer, and it’s half price.” He never knew what hit him. Bob was sitting on a plane, and the man next to him was an emotional wreck. “What’s the matter?” Bob asked. “I’ve been transferred to De-troit. There are crazy people there, lots of shootings, gangs, bad schools, and the highest

crime rate in the nation.” Bob replied, “I’ve lived in Detroit all my life. It’s not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, mind your own business, and enroll your kids in a private school. It’s as safe as anywhere.” The guy relaxed and said, “Oh, thank you. I’ve been wor-ried to death. What do you do for a living there?” “I’m a tail gunner on a Bud-weiser truck.”

From Steven Wright: Jokes about German sausage are the wurst. I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me. Velcro is a rip off. A cartoonist was found dead. Details are sketchy.

I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down. Four men on a golf course were waiting a long time for the group ahead of them and finally asked the marshal, “Can you asked them to play faster?” He said, “That’s a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse last

year. We let them play anytime.” One guy said, “That’s admi-rable. I’m going to donate five hundred dollars to their fireman’s fund.” “I’m going to do the same,” said two others. The fourth guy said, “Can’t they play at night?” ■
