Corrections...
it was Niki Woods (not
"Mike" ) who was on the
Nucla Elementary School
Honor Roll. ,Sorry again,
Niki!
Also,we apparently-ando
inadvertantly- omitted the
names of Melanie Seevers
and Rabble Gonzales from
the Nucla High School
Honor Roll. Both students
received all A's. Rabble
was a senior and Melanie a
freshman. Our apologies.

"Colorado 4-H confer-
ence at Colorado State
University opened June
15th with a buffet dinner
and keynote speaker Dr.
James Kern" says Edie
Haley, Colorado State Uni-
versity Extension Assistant
in charge of 4-H.
Senators Theresa Hubbs
and Preston Gardner, were
active with 4-H Senate
business and election of
state officers; while dele-
gates Josh Rumore, J.J.
Sutton, Jewel Phillips and
Thad Shupe went to work-
shops and animal science
tours along with 4-H dele-
gates from most Colorado
counties.
Local 4-Hers got a taste
of University life for 4
days staying at the dormi-
tories and having their
meals at the food service
located in the student cen-
ter, Evenings were spent
in recreation, dancing and
pizza parties as well as
getting to know youth
from other counties in
Colorado. David Folk, 4-H
horse leader from Nor-
wood was chaperone for
the group.
Extension personnel
hand delivered National
Report Forms to the State
4-H office for judging.
Leader Cindy Heldman of
the West End 4-H club has
been chosen to work with
the committee of 4-H
leaders, extension agents
and state 4-H specialists to
judge Colorado entries in
early July.
County Agent Bob
Bishop was in charge of
the horse judging contest
at the conference.
I recently spent several
days at the Nucla Ceme-
tery, taking care of a loved
one laid to rest a year ago.
While there I had the op-
portunity of reflecting
upon others laid to rest,
and the condition of the
cemetery.
Having been raised in
Nucla and knowing some
of its outstanding citizens
I was disappointed to see
the condition the ceme-
tery was in. Weeds
and several of the head-
stones of those long passed
are about to fall over, and
there lacked evidence of
respect and pride.
I know that the people
in Nucla take more pride
in the col munity and the
beautiful town park would
be evide, xiCe of that. Why
then, sh* iJld the cemetery
of Nucla, to take pride in
the ce L ery and put a
project rtbgether to make
the place of final rest one
of beauty and peace!
A former resident and
frequent visitor.
Sincerely,
Bob Salazar
The Nucla Town Board
reviewed the 1987 Audit
of the Town's books made
by Andrewa,Whitley and
Stevenson, at the June 22
board meeting. Several
areas were clarified for the
new board members as Joe
Whitley of the accounting
firm answered questions
and suggestions for future
records.
Also at the meeting
Jenni Nylund-Naff and
Marjorie Smith, residents
of Second Park addressed
the board about their con-
cerns regarding Peabody
Coal's anticipated mining
just west of the Town's
limits and how the town
residents may be affected.
Dale Williams approach-
ed the board on behalf of
Martin Dumont concern-
ing the Town's bill to Du-
mont for cleaning up his
property where the old
hotel stood until burning
down in 1981. The board
advised Williams that the
attorneys for the Town
and Dumont are presently
working on the item under
discussion.
No bids were received
to clearout weeds along
the Town's right of ways
so the board elected to ad-
vertise for such bids for
two additional weeks, with
a July 12 deadline.
The board discussed a
petition concerning a
Hazardous Waste Trans-
portation Route along
Highway 141. No action
was taken but the board
will keep apprised of fur-
ther details on the propos-
al.
Jerry Nix reported to
the board about a letter re-
ceived concerning a Pew--
MIA Freedom Ride. A
cyclist from the Front
Range is planning to ride
throughout Colorado start-
ing July 4 in an effort to
keep the POW--MIA pro-
ject in the public's mind.
He tentatively expects to
be in the Nucla Naturita
area on August 7 and 8.
There was some discussion
about what the Town may
do in a form of welcome
and hospitality. The sub-
ject will be discussed fur-
ther when details are more
firm.
The next board meeting
will be July 13 at7:30
pm.
