sense of humor, generosity and dashing good looks. Corna died May 18 in Port Chester, N.Y.., at age 45. Lindsey Grannis helped organize the memorial service. She had known Corna since his arrival in Steamboat Springs, when he started working for her as a waiter in 1993 at the Time Out Sports Bar and Grill.

■ WEATHER

Cloudy with storms. High of 64.

“That smile might have actually brought us all the business we had that winter,” Grannis said. The Time Out Sports Bar later became Slopeside, and Grannis later worked for Corna. “He was sitting on the deck, and I pulled him aside and I said, ‘Would you like to be my assistant manager for the upcoming winter?’” she said. “And he looked me in the eye and said, ‘Lindsey, don’t tell anyone yet, but I just bought

the place. Will you be my manager?’” Corna also was a University of Florida Gators fan. A college friend, Aaron Youngdahl, told about a Florida-University of Kansas basketball game he attended with Corna. Corna was getting agitated because the team was huddling up, and star center Joakim Noah wasn’t participating. “He stood up in a relatively See Corna, back page

Old Glory is entitled to a respectful retirement when she gets tattered or torn, and Boy Scout Leo Strbuck is trying to make sure each worn-out flag receives a proper send-off. As his Eagle Scout project, Strbuck placed boxes across town last week for flags that need to be retired. As his troop collects the flags, it will retire them properly. That involves unfurling them over a fire, burning them and then burying the ashes. “The main thing is if it has tears or something any place on it and it’s really old and it’s been flown for a really long time, it should be retired,” Strbuck said.

Water plan on agenda Local water and sustainability experts hope to help residents save money and the environment. They’re sharing a wide-ranging water conservation plan with the public this week. Their first goal is to slash peak water use in the Steamboat Springs area by 10 percent by 2015. Lyn Halliday, principal of Environmental Solutions Unlimited, has worked with city officials and the Mount Werner Water and Sanitation District to create a plan to hit that goal. The team will show the plan to the public and seek feedback Wednesday at Centennial Hall. “A lot of people think we have a lot of water because we’re at the headwaters,” Halliday said. “And that’s kind of true, but one of the key points that’s made in this draft plan is we can really save a lot of dollars and capital improvements in the future by having to build a lot fewer filtration plants that have to treat the water before it’s delivered.” Conservation also makes economic sense, she said. “A lot of businesses are or should be interested in this because water has become more expensive,” Halliday said. “So not

only is it good for our sustainability efforts communitywide, but it can save money.” The 63-page plan serves a couple of purposes, said Jay Gallagher, general manager of Mount Werner Water. Water officials want to be able to respond to water emergencies such as droughts or wildfires. Also, the Colorado Water Conservation Act requires entities that supply at least 2,000 acre-feet of water a year to have a conservation plan. An acre-foot is the amount of water that would cover 1 acre to a depth of one foot. Steamboat and Mount Werner each supply about 1,500 acre-feet of water, Gallagher said. But the area is growing, so the water utilities are likely to hit that 2,000 acre-foot mark eventually. Gallagher pointed to the reduced public costs as an additional benefit. Under the plan, the community would reduce peak water usage by 15 percent by 2020 and by 20 percent by 2030.

“If we can shave off 10 to 20 percent of that peak demand, or at least retard the growth of that demand, it means we don’t have to put as much infrastructure, which is public dollars, into the ground,” Gallagher said. The plan includes asking people not to water outside between the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and to use landscaping that doesn’t require much water. It includes stages with more severe conservation measures to be put in place during water emergencies. Gallagher; Halliday; Public Works Director Philo Shelton; Joe Zimmerman, water and sewer systems supervisor; and Senior City Planner Bob Keenan put together the plan, which they presented to the Steamboat Springs City Council in April. Wednesday’s event will include an open house that starts at 4 p.m. The plan creators will do a presentation at 5 p.m. They hope the plan will push Steamboat toward becoming a conservation-minded city. “It’s part of creating a sustainable community,” Gallagher said. “It makes good economic sense, and it means that we can conserve our water resources both raw and our potable water infrastructure and get the best out of it, get the most out of it.”

Broad blueprint for conservation could save cash for taxpayers

Growing vegetables locally GARDENING WITH

Deb Babcock needs any particular nutrients for the vegetables you want to plant, we recommend getting a soil test. It’s about $25, and can be done through the Cooperative Extension Office who sends it off to Colorado State University for the testing. You’ll get results back in about three weeks. Call them at 879-0825 or stop in to pick up the paperwork and learn how to prepare your sample for the test. Your best bets in vegetables are those that are cool season adapted and those that have early maturities. I generally look on the seed packet for maturities of 60 days or less. You can get a jump on the season, by starting plants inside and by soaking seeds overnight the day before you plant them. This works best with seeds for cucurbits: melons, cucumbers, gourds and squashes. Master gardeners Margie Arbogast and Eileen Grover suggest these vegetables for best

results in Steamboat area gardens: arugula, asparagus (Jersey Knight 1-year-old roots), beets (Cylindra, Early Wonder, Golden), carrots (bolina round, parmex roung, chantenay, nantes, sugar snax), cucumbers (marketmore pickling, sumpter), garlic (purple, white), green beans, green onions, kale, all kinds of leaf lettuces, onions (1014 Texas sweet, candy F1 found-yellow) peppers (banana, sweet, jalapeno, poblano), potatoes (Yukon gold, caribe, all bule, purple majesty, russet), radishes (small varieties), snow peas, spinach (Teton Hybrid, Bloomsdale longstanding, savory), White Kohlrabi (Eder F1), patty pan squash, zucchini, Northern Xtra Sweet Yellow corn, mammoth dill. This is just a highlight of the many vegetables that can be successfully grown in the Steamboat Springs area. Seed packets will tell you when to plant and what to expect in terms of days to maturity. Go pick up some seeds today, and start savoring the idea of fresh vegetables from your own garden this summer. Call 879-0825 or log onto http://rcextension.colostate.edu.

ith such nice weather lately, it’s tempting to get outside and start planting vegetables in your garden right away. Beware! The average last frost date for our mountain community generally is around June 15, and the first frost date in the fall is around August 15. Remember that this is the average … there’s a slight chance that our short growing season may be shorter or longer than this. Because our growing season is so short, we need to carefully watch the weather before planting. The soil needs to be warm for seeds to germinate. You can move Mother Nature along by covering the soil with some plastic. Clear is better than black. And a double layer of plastic with a small insulating air pocket between them is even better at warming things up quickly. You’ll want to have the best soil possible to get your vegetables to grow quickly. Damp, clay soil is going to stay wet and cold longer than soil that is amended with compost or other organic matter. And soil in a southern exposure will warm the fastest. To determine if your soil

Steamboat Springs City Manager Jon Roberts was hurt in a skydiving accident Saturday near Perris, Calif. He was listed in serious condition Sunday night at Loma Linda Hospital in Loma Linda, Calif. Roberts’ main parachute failed to open during a skydive Saturday, and his emergency chute didn’t open until he was near the ground, said Rotary Club of Steamboat Springs President Mike Forney. Roberts is a Rotarian, and Forney said he spoke with Jon’s wife, LeAnn,

Sunday evening. No additional information about Roberts’ injuries was available Sunday night. Roberts began serving as Roberts Steamboat’s top administrator in February, after serving in the same position for the city of Victorville, Calif. He previously told the Steamboat Pilot & Today and At Home in Steamboat Springs magazine about his active lifestyle and passion for activities including hiking, scuba diving

and skydiving. In an interview in At Home magazine’s April edition, Roberts described how skydiving helps him overcome his fear of heights. “It’s a different experience,” he said. “There really isn’t a sensation of falling when you’re free falling. It’s much more a sensation of flying. After the parachute opens and you’re closer to the ground, I just work to overcome those feelings that I could fall. … Just through practice you start to build confidence to overcome the fear.”

SPECIAL TO THE STEAMBOAT TODAY

It’s a simple thing — wearing a poppy, and yet more than a colorful accessory, the small red flower pinned to a hat or a shirt collar reminds us. It is Memorial Day. We are called upon to come to a stop, to understand why and how we can enjoy so much. The day has been declared a national holiday. The calendar is marked accordingly, we make our plans for outings with family and friends, but a deeper and louder voice comes from within. We can’t remember when we first heard it, back when we didn’t know about responsibility, long, hot days when we ran barefoot in backyards and played in the cooling shade, unaware of much outside ourselves. The learning of it slipped up on us, that summer always turned into

In December of 2000, Congress established the Presidential Commission on Remembrance. The emphasis of this bipartisan group is upon the families of those who have not returned.

autumn, that winter would arrive. For some, that innocence lasted a long time. Others found out too quickly that good things came to an end. The longer we live, the more mindful we become and the more appreciative of having those we love around us. We savor summer. And yet we feel the crinkles of the paper poppy. It was put together by a veteran, someone who returned home from weeks or months or years of

military service. That veteran, while he creased and folded, was thinking of the others, the ones who did not return, the ones who will never see another winter change into spring. They marched with full knowledge that they might have seen their last summer. They are the reason we feel compelled to hear the message of Memorial Day. We Americans have been listening to their voices since the days after generals Lee and Grant met at Appomattox. Decoration Day, as it was first called, became an official national holiday in 1918. That year, the flowers that were the color of blood bloomed in Flanders Field, and women of the American Legion Auxiliary adopted the poppy as a way to remember the more than 100,000 See Freiberger, page 9

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

The most vivid memories aren’t those carved in stone but the ones etched into the mind. Memory deepens with the years, the way a river carves through rock, slowly revealing new layers, creating canyons. Sometimes the current runs deep, and memory overflows. Maybe on an anniversary or when you hear a certain song or for no discernible reason at all. And it all comes back. Greenberg On this Memorial Day, I think of the old lady in black. She was a fixture of my childhood in Shreveport, La., never speaking, but always there in one of the little shops up the street just a few doors from our own.

MALLARD FILLMORE

Texas Avenue was lined with such shops, each with living quarters above. Every family had its own history, customs, story to tell — whether Italian, Chinese, Jewish, Syrian (now known as Lebanese) or Other. The thriving black downtown was a couple of long blocks west, complete with its own stores, restaurants and cafés, newspaper office, movie theater and night life. In short, mine was an all-American neighborhood. We children spent a lot of time underfoot in other families’ homes, mainly in the kitchen. Long before I learned it was called baklava when bought in a bakery, I watched Aunt Lillie up the street roll out and stretch the philo dough, again and again, for baklewi, till it covered the whole kitchen table and drooped over the edge — to be filled with nuts and fruit before being baked to a flaky brown.

The first taste was served fresh out of the oven, dripping honeyed goodness. There’s nothing like food as a preservative of memory. Years later, I would learn Texas Avenue was considered a tough neighborhood, which came as a surprise. To a little boy, it was just the way life was. I would have been surprised to learn that my world was anything but warm and homey. I scarcely remember when the war came — the Second World War. In my child’s mind, it always had been there. Complete with bond drives and posters that said Remember Pearl Harbor and ration books and voices on the radio reporting from far-off places in a clear, neutral, standard American pronunciation. Nobody we knew actually spoke like that. The war suffused all of life. There were the uniforms on the street, See Greenberg, page 9 Bruce Tinsley

and the little cards that children prized with their black silhouettes of different warplanes. The aircraft themselves might be spotted heading in and out of Barksdale Air Base across the river, and we competed with one another calling out B-17! B-24 Liberator! P-51! P-47! P-38 Lightning! ... Texas Avenue teemed with black tenant farmers and their families Saturdays, and with uniforms Saturday nights — there was a bar up the street that regularly attracted the MPs. And a few storefronts up, in the back of a dry goods store, there was the old lady in black. As a child, I seldom saw her but knew what had happened. Her boy, Bill, had been killed in the war, one of the early American casualties — of so, so many — in the Pacific. No one mentioned his name

except maybe the grown-ups in hushed tones. I always stepped toward the outside of the sidewalk when passing her store. To a little boy there was something ominous in her silent vigil. Mourning is foreign to a child. Years later, I brought my own children back to visit the old neighborhood — just to point out where this store or that one had been, and where this family or that one had lived, and where we’d gone to get RC Colas, or how you could hide in the alleys to ambush the other children when you played soldiers or cowboys-and-Indians.... And there she was, still in black. Only she was sitting at the front of her store that day, and motioned me to bring the children in. She wanted to know their names and how old they were, and insisted on getting them Cokes, and spoke about people who used to live in the neighborhood. It was

only then that I realized she could smile. The river of time had revealed a new layer. I no longer saw as a child or spied her through a glass darkly. The grief still hung on in her visage and bearing, as grief must, but the veil had been lifted. She seemed recalled to life. Maybe it was the presence of the children that had done it. One more memory had deepened and broadened, one more connection made, one more soul had reached out — hers? Mine? The children’s? Maybe Bill’s? The forever young, cut down in their youth, reappear in our thoughts as they were, unchanged. Even as those who treasure their memory grow older. The quick and the dead, the young and old, we all seemed of a piece that brief hour, sitting there, sipping Cokes, having our own Memorial Day.

Connecting with grandchildren through nature Tamera Manzanares PILOT & TODAY STAFF

School almost is out for the summer, and that means many older adults are expecting visits from grandchildren. While the prospect of spending a week or more with grandchildren can be a bit overwhelming, grandparents need only to look out their window for abundant opportunities to engage children’s curiosity and create or strengthen a special relationship. “There are so many exciting things to see when you go outside,” said Elaine Sturges, a naturalist at Yampatika who specializes in educational programs for children. “Those shared experiences are what bond grandparents with grandchildren, and [children] remember that.”

The gift of nature Exploring nature with a child can be an incredible gift, especially if they are not often able to experience it because of busy lives at home or an urban lifestyle. A child’s interest in nature often is facilitated by a significant adult in their lives, said Sturges, noting that her own love for the environment was fostered by her mother’s interest in birds. “I see grandparents having a significant opportunity to be a person in their grandchild’s life that connects them to nature,” she said. In a recent presentation, Sonja Macy’s, executive director of Yampatika, noted that studies suggest a lack of outdoor opportunities contribute to problems such as obesity, attention deficit disorder and behavioral issues. The link between environmental education and activity and a child’s overall achieve-

ment is the impetus for the No Child Left Inside Act introduced in Congress in April. If passed, the bill would provide funds for states to ensure that schools are able to include environmental instruction and learning activities into their curriculums. A child’s understanding of and interest in nature also can facilitate environmental stewardship, an important consideration in the context of climate change and other environmental concerns, Sturges said.

Inspiring wonder Like nature itself, experiencing the environment with a child can take many forms, from simple nature walks and games with toddlers to wilderness hikes with older children or adolescents. Chances are, a grandparent living in the Yampa Valley appreciates the nature, whether through activities or the serenity of being surrounded by beauty and open space. Grandparents simply need to latch on to whatever makes them happy in nature to inspire wonder and interest in their grandchildren. Their enthusiasm will be contagious. “Grandparents don’t need to know the name of every flower or bird … what’s more important is feeling, hearing and seeing,” Sturges said. In his book, “Sharing Nature with Children II,” Joseph Cornell explains that children can become very absorbed in an experience and will learn much more from that than from talk. “You can gain a deeper appreciation of an oak tree by watching how the tree’s mood shifts with changes in lighting … Quietly sit on or under its branches, and be aware of all the forms of life that live in and around the tree and depend on it.”

There are many parks and trails that make it easy to explore the outdoors with toddlers and young children. Sturges favors areas such as Yampa River Botanic Park and Butcherknife Creek because they are quieter areas with few or no dogs, bikes and other traffic. The Carpenter Ranch/Nature Conservancy in Hayden is another great place to observe birds and other wildlife and enjoy peace and quiet. Less busy sections of the Yampa River Core Trail, Fetcher Pond, as well as trails in Steamboat Lake, Stagecoach and Yampa River State Parks are among other good options. No matter the place, it’s important to have hats, sunscreen, insect repellant and water handy, as well as snacks for extra fuel. Children and grandparents should wear sturdy shoes and be aware of the weather to avoid rain and lighting. In addition to the essentials, backpacks also can include everyday items for nature games and activities. Sturges often carries paint color tabs from hardware stores, challenging children to find items matching the colors. A simple piece of string laid on the ground serves as a “micro-hike,” encouraging children to focus on nature’s smaller intricacies. “Sharing Nature with Children,” includes ideas for ageappropriate nature games such as “wildlife mystery bags,” which involve paper lunch sacks, each with a feather, animal pelt and other nature item. Blindfolded, children feel the items and try to guess the items’ identities. Grandparents can visit Yampatika to rent a “family pack” filled with these types of props. For older children and teenag-

Children inspect water bugs gathered during a summer camp through Yampatika. Sharing nature with children is an ideal way for grandparents to spark curiosity and create a lasting bond with grandchildren.

Tips for experiencing nature ■ Don’t worry about knowing names of flowers, trees, etc. Focus more on sharing thoughts and feelings. ■ Be receptive to children and nature; seize natural experiences and children’s reactions as opportunities to communicate. ■ Engage children in outings by focusing their attention on interesting sights and sounds.

■ Look and experience first, talk later; allow children to become absorbed in observation — children seldom forget a direct experience. ■ Keep the occasion happy and enthusiastic so children remain engaged in the experience of watching and learning.

Although Alzheimer’s is a disease that causes brain cell death, researchers know that diabetes also harms the brain in several ways: Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. Damaged blood vessels in the brain can contribute to Alzheimer’s. Too much insulin can upset the balance of chemicals in the brain. Some of those changes are thought to trigger Alzheimer’s disease. High blood sugar causes inflammation, which may damage brain cells and help Alzheimer’s to start. Researchers currently are looking closely at medications for Type 2 diabetes to see if they may help prevent or treat Alzheimer’s. Eating healthy foods, exercising and managing your diabetes and other medical conditions may help some people offset the severity of Alzheimer’s symptoms or may even delay the onset of the disease.

Throughout time, if diabetes is not controlled, the disease can cause damage to major organs. Type 2 diabetes also puts people at risk for illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure and nerve problems. There are three things people can do to help cut the risk of diabetes: lose weight, exercise and make healthy food choices. Type 2 diabetes also can harm the brain. Compared to people without diabetes, more people with diabetes get dementia. Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, followed by vascular dementia. Researchers have discovered a link between diabetes and both of these other diseases. A person with dementia develops progressive memory loss and has difficulty with other thinking and reasoning. These symptoms are not caused by normal aging. Researchers don’t know yet what causes Alzheimer’s disease or exactly how it is con-

‘Don’t stop believing’ Students tell Moffat County High School classmates during graduation to be fearless Blythe Terrell

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

Moffat County High School’s graduation ceremony was all about movement. The students filed into the school gymnasium Saturday in pairs, a girl in white and a boy in blue. Paparazzi parents snapped photos, and the crowd sent forth whoops and hollers for their favorite graduates. The students tossed around beach balls, and the speakers talked about where the class of 2009 would go. “I don’t know everyone’s plans,” graduate Sarah Kirk said. “I imagine some will stay here, some will go to college, and some

will move out of their parents’ house immediately after the ceremony.” She encouraged her classmates to aim high. “Never hit that roadblock,” she said. “Never stop learning, and always live your life believing you can do something extraordinary.” The 139 students appear to have set their sights high. They earned more than $64,000 in scholarships from the Craig community. Several are headed to the military, and they received a standing ovation from their classmates and the hundreds in the audience. Fifteen were considered honor graduates for having a gradepoint average of 3.939 or high-

er. Kylie Bauman, Cassandra Gore, Jessica Hogue, Samuel Leonard, Kirsten McAlexander, Challyn Pfifer and Erin Urbanoski earned valedictorian status. Andrew Field, Michelle Hammond and Alicia Nelson earned salutatorian status. Nelson was named outstanding girl of the class of 2009, and Michael Zehner was named outstanding boy of the class. Teacher Casey Kilpatrick praised Nelson for her passion, creativity and skill on the yearbook staff. “I hope my daughter is just like this young woman and defines herself by what she does,” he said. Teacher Eric Hansen spoke

��

about Zehner, whom he coached in debate. “I know I will miss this outstanding student, amazing competitor and, most of all, friend,” Hansen said. During her commencement address, Noraly Cazares encouraged her fellow MCHS graduates to pursue adventures without fear. “Within each of us is an explorer,” Cazares told her friends. She also spoke of the appreciation she had for her classmates the past four years. “I am thankful for those memories that I know will always be there. … We all intertwine in each other’s memories, like roots in the land,” Cazares said.

Veterans park to add soil from battlefields THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FORT COLLINS

A Marine in Fort Collins wants to remember fallen soldiers by gathering soils from distant battlefields for a veterans’ park. Brian Ivers wants Veterans Plaza at Spring Canyon Park to incorporate soils from every country in which U.S. forces have served and died. The Marine reservist and police officer served three tours in Iraq and says the soils would honor veterans.

So far, Ivers has acquired sand from the sites of storied World War II battles fought by the Marines, including Iwo Jima and Utah Beach in Normandy, France. Ivers needs to raise about $416,000 to complete the soil project before construction begins.

1 burned in fire in Fort Collins motel room

AROUND COLORADO Thursday to finalize a contract to sell Columbine Ditch north of Leadville. The board has accepted a $30.48 million bid from Ginn Development, which plans to build Battle Mountain Ski Resort near Minturn, but the city of Aurora will have 60 days to match the offer in the final contract under an earlier agreement with the board. The ditch would yield about 1,300 acre-feet annually under limits in water court decrees. Its sale would go toward an estimated $60 million needed to buy Bessemer Ditch shares to reduce the water board’s dependence on water from the Western Slope. The Bessemer Ditch rights could provide about 7,500 acre-feet per year, based on estimates of historic yield.

FORT COLLINS

Firefighters say one adult was burned in a fire at a motel room in Fort Collins. Investigators are trying to determine what caused the fire about 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the El Palomino Motel. Firefighters didn’t know the victim’s identity or condition. A damage estimate wasn’t immediately available.

Man awaits freedom from prison Judge overturns double-murder conviction, orders new trial THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LIMON

Tim Kennedy tugs at the Department of Corrections No. 94886 tag on his green-blue prison uniform and says with a smile: “This number and stuff are dead. My convictions are overturned, and I’m no longer a convicted felon. I’m all new.” Kennedy, 52, is hoping to be freed after he is transferred this week from a prison in Limon to El Paso County where a judge overturned his conviction in a 1991 double murder and ordered a new trial. El Paso County District Judge Thomas Kane’s decision April 21 to toss out Kennedy’s conviction in the slayings of 15year-old Jennifer Carpenter and her boyfriend, 37-year-old Steve Staskiewicz, followed years of appeals capped by a 14-day hearing during which another possible suspect was named. Kennedy could be released after a hearing Tuesday if prosecutors decide to drop the case or agree to $50,000 bail sought by Kennedy’s attorneys, Kathleen Carlson and John Dicke, who have been fighting for Kennedy’s release since 2006. El Paso County District Attorney Dan May has declined to talk publicly about the case. During an interview Thursday at the Limon Correctional Facility on the Eastern Plains about 95 miles east of Denver, Kennedy cherished the thought of being a free man. Apart from spending time with his sister and brother, one of the first things

Kennedy would do if he is freed is get a steak dinner. “It’s really great to think that I actually have a chance at getting my life back,” he said. “I tell you what, boy, it’s been a long, long haul.” Carpenter, a runaway, was the alleged victim in a 1991 case

accusing Charles Stroud and Rebecca Corkins of kidnapping and sexually assaulting her. Prosecutors had learned that a “hit” had been put out on Carpenter and were scrambling to take her testimony under oath when she and Staskiewicz were slain in his trailer.

Before Glenwood Springs installed its own fiber network for high-speed Internet access, some businesses got by with connections barely above dialup speeds. “You used to have to set things up to send in the middle of the night, and hopefully they’d be done by morning,” said Bruce Christensen, mayor of this Colorado River resort city of about 8,500 people. Christensen says the city’s $3 million investment lured and retained businesses and nudged commercial providers into expanding high-speed access. Colorado officials want to do the same statewide, an effort that could be pushed along if the state is awarded a share of $7.2 billion in federal stimulus money meant to extend broadband access in underserved and

Conley also wants to ensure services are sustainable and that competing providers don’t run each other out of business in rural areas where there are fewer customers to share infrastructure costs. In Glenwood Springs, officials are exploring whether to invest $10 million to $12 million to extend the city network, which serves businesses and resellers, to homes despite outsiders’ concerns it will waste taxpayer money. Its existing network loses about $200,000 a year, and about one-third of households would need to subscribe for it to make a profit within two or three years, Mayor Christensen estimated. “We’re sort of at a crossroads,” he said.

unserved areas. Washington’s push for cheaper, widely available broadband service has its challenges, from creating demand to making it financially worthwhile for providers. Some of the federal funds will boost computing capacity at community colleges and libraries. Details about how grants, loans and loan guarantees will be awarded are being decided, but the state plans to apply. The state Office of Information Technology will coordinate funding requests from broadband providers, nonprofits, Native American tribes, municipalities and others. One of the first steps is figuring out who isn’t getting affordable and reliable high-speed service, which the state defines as at least 768 kilobits per second. Colorado set aside $350,000 to map those areas, and that job should be done by August, said John Conley, Colorado’s depu-

Families aided in burial costs Governments provide help for those who can’t afford interment

Renata Richardson already had picked a name for her first child: Jazmyn Rose. She was stockpiling gifts such as baby socks, hats and a bassinet. But the fetus died a month before she was to be born. Richardson was crushed not only by the miscarriage but because she knew she couldn’t afford the cremation, which would have cost $600 to $1,200. She had lost her job as an advertising manager months before and couldn’t find another in the slumping economy. “That’s the last thing I wanted to do for her, and I knew that I couldn’t do it,” she said. Richardson, 25, of Davie, Fla., joined a growing number of people seeking help with burial and cremation costs as the recession triggers layoffs and foreclosures and rocks the family budget. Local governments — already cutting their budgets — are stepping in with taxpayer dollars. The numbers are up at coro-

Cremation would have cost $1,000, and Hunt had $400 in the bank after quitting her job with the Dayton school system to be with her daughter. The need for financial help reached the point that Renee Donnell, owner of Alamance Funeral Service in Burlington, N.C., started a fundraising campaign to create a burial fund. To raise money, she has helped organize plays, dinners and a silent auction. Several families have applied for money since the fund was created in October. Donnell said the economy partly is to blame; a woman whose husband had just lost his job was among those receiving money. “We’re seeing it so much more,” Donnell said. “I decided we needed to do something about it.” In Dayton, the number of indigent cremations jumped from 37 in 2007 at a total cost of $24,000 to 53 in 2008 costing $34,500. During a six-month period, Los Angeles County handled 80 percent more indigent bodies from the coroner’s office from 2007 to last year.

To prison inmates, he’s a jailhouse lawyer made good. To wardens, he’s a thorn in the side. To prison advocates, Paul Wright is a success story: Once a killer, then a prisoner, now a journalist with a cause. He has carved out a niche with his Prison Legal News, a self-help magazine. The publication, known as PLN, does more than highlight mail censorship, sexual abuse by prison guards and prison overcrowding in its black-and-white pages. The nonprofit tabloid often takes on the role of prisoner advocate, going to court against states and private prison operators — and winning money, reform and public attention for prisoners. “It’s a voice from the inside, but it’s a helluva lot more reasoned and balanced than you might think, even though the point of view is obvious,” said Fred Cohen, coeditor of Correctional Law Reporter, a trade publication that serves prison officials. “It’s advocacy, in the best sense.” Wright, a former U.S. Army military policeman, started the monthly publication in 1990.

ner’s offices from Los Angeles to Dayton, Ohio, to Chapel Hill, N.C. Some states and cities have increased their budgets to meet the demand. “They basically tell me they can’t afford it,” said Lt. David Smith, who tracks down families of the dead in Los Angeles County. “Everybody we do get ahold of is washing their hands of it.” The median cost of a funeral for a family, including casket and vault, is about $7,300. The cost to governments, which don’t arrange funerals, can range from $150 for basic cremation to $1,400 for burial. Most states don’t require relatives to pay for the burial or cremation of the poor. Governments step in if the dead had no assets and the families cannot pay or cannot be found. Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Broward County in Florida, which partially is funded through property taxes, paid for the cremation of Richardson’s baby. The city of Dayton did the same for Debra Hunt, whose 32-year-old daughter, a cancer patient, died in February.

Space shuttle Atlantis brought its crew of seven astronauts safely back to Earth on Sunday after thunderstorms in Florida forced a detour to sunsplashed California, ending a 13-day mission that repaired and enhanced the Hubble Space Telescope. “Now and only now can we declare this mission a total

success — the astronauts are safely on the ground,” NASA sciences chief Ed Weiler told a Florida press conference. Atlantis’ crew had waited since Friday for the go-ahead to land as Mission Control hoped to avoid the time and expense — about $1.8 million — of diverting to California’s Edwards Air Force Base. The Florida weather refused to yield and Mission Control finally directed shuttle commander Scott Altman to head to California. The shuttle’s twin sonic booms rocked the Mojave Desert as it swooped out of a dazzling morning sky. Out on the runway after landing, Altman reflected on how long it had taken to get their mission under way — and then to end it. “When we got down to Florida, I looked at everybody and said, ‘At last,”’ Altman said. “I didn’t realize it was going to be so hard to get back to the Earth in the end. So again, I guess I say the same thing, at last we’re back on the ground.” It was the 53rd shuttle landing at Edwards; the last one was in November. The crew finally set foot on the ground about two hours after touchdown, receiving greetings from ground personnel before they began the customary walkaround to inspect the exterior of their spacecraft. It was uncertain whether the crew would return to their Houston homes later Sunday or today. NASA officials said it will take about a week to prepare Atlantis for its ferry flight back to Kennedy Space Center atop a NASA Boeing 747. During five spacewalks, the astronauts gave the 19year-old Hubble new science instruments, pointing devices and batteries, and fixed broken instruments. The astronauts overcame stuck bolts and other difficulties.

The work will add years to the life of the telescope and its study of the universe. Initial checkouts of the repaired Hubble were going well, Weiler said. He noted that the telescope had yet to see any starlight but he said he expected it to gather data by August. Much was made of Atlantis’ departure from Hubble as the last time it will be touched by humans, and Weiler acknowledged that was an “emotional moment.” But he wanted nothing to do with sad thoughts. “Geez!” he exclaimed. “We just repaired the Hubble Space Telescope. We got a new telescope, four new instruments, two of them dead now alive. We’ve got another five, six, seven, eight years with the new telescope. These are truly the best of times not the worst of times.” NASA eventually expects to steer Hubble into the Pacific sometime in the early 2020s using a robotic vehicle, though it’s possible that might be done with a crewed vehicle, NASA’s new Orion. The astronauts brought back Hubble’s old wide-field camera they pulled out, so it can be displayed at the Smithsonian Institution. The replacement camera and other new instruments will enable Hubble to peer deeper into the universe. The $1 billion repair mission almost didn’t happen. It was canceled in 2004, a year after the Columbia tragedy, because of the dangers of flying into a 350-mile-high orbit that did not offer any shelter in case Atlantis suffered damage from launch debris or space junk. The public protest was intense, and NASA reinstated the flight after developing a rescue plan and shuttle repair kits. Shuttle Endeavour was on standby for a possible rescue mission until late last week, after inspections found Atlantis’ thermal shielding to be solid for re-entry. Endeavour now will be prepped for a June flight to the international space station.

Sikhs fight at Austrian temple Veronika Oleksyn

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VIENNA

Sikhs wielding knives and a handgun attacked two preachers at a rival temple in Vienna on Sunday in a brawl that left at least 16 people wounded, police and witnesses said. A related clash later broke out in northern India. Witnesses said a group of bearded and turbaned men attacked the religious leaders at the temple in Austria’s capital, and their followers moved to defend them. The preachers were among the six people who suffered serious wounds and were identified by Indian diplomats and police as Niranjan Das and Sant Rama Nand. Police said both were out of danger after undergoing operations for gunshot wounds. Police spokesman Michael Takacs said the scene was “like

a battlefield.” Six suspects were in custody with more arrests possible, he said. Mohnder Ram, a worshipper who said he had lived in Vienna for decades and attended services at the temple every Sunday, said it is run by followers of Shri Guru Ravidas, a 14th-century founder of a Sikh sect called Dera Sach Khand. In India, fighting between mainstream Sikhs and followers of the guru broke out in the northern city of Jalandhar several hours after the Vienna clash, in what locals there described as an apparent reaction to the melee in the Austrian capital. Sanjiv Kalra, a senior police official at Jalandhar, said that protesters had set fire to a number of vehicles and erected several roadblocks across the city. He gave no other details. Witnesses in Vienna spoke about chaos. “Everybody was praying, and

then it started with knives and a pistol,” said Nermal Singh, barefooted, his shirt bloodied and his head bandaged from what he said was a knife wound. Ram, 72, said, “I heard four to five shots” in the temple. “People started screaming, children were crying as they ran out. “It was like war. There was lots of blood everywhere.” Ram also spoke about “blood everywhere,” adding: “People were hit and stabbed with knives.” Bimla Lalka, who lives in a ground-floor apartment opposite the building housing the temple, said she saw seven or eight men with lengthy beards and dark blue and orange turbans fleeing the building. It was not clear whether some of the weapons used were kirpans, the ceremonial daggers carried by Sikhs. Police said kirpans may be worn legally by Sikhs in Austria.

US soldier’s son writes rap song AFGHANISTAN

At least a couple of times a week, U.S. Army Capt. Alfonso Johnson opens his laptop at his base in Afghanistan and plays a rap video — a clip with his young son singing about his fears that his father will die in combat. “I’m 11 years old, already grown up, ’cause my dad’s been gone so much,” Xavier chants into a microphone, his head bobbing to a hip-hop beat. Then the boy gets more blunt: “I’m feeling real sad now, I can’t lie, ’cause there’s a chance that my dad might die.” Rather than depressing him,

Johnson says the song, called “Keep ’em Safe,” makes him feel closer to his son. That partly is because of the memory of working with Xavier to make the song and video in the U.S. But the lyrics also have a harsh honesty that lets 37-year-old Johnson feel the torrent of emotions his son, now 13, is experiencing back in Fort Drum, N.Y. Today marks Memorial Day, when military families confront the reality of soldier deaths directly. Johnson hopes their song also can help other children deal with their fears. “Kids watch the news all the time, and they know that soldiers are dying in combat,” Johnson said. He has been

stationed since January in a valley in Wardak, a mountainous province a short drive from Kabul where U.S. and Afghan forces have been fighting Taliban militants. Johnson serves as a public affairs officer. Rather than stress that he does not go into combat each day or play down the risks, he told Xavier before his deployment that the Afghan mountains were dangerous, and he would have to carry a gun wherever he goes. He is scheduled to serve a oneyear tour. “Keep ’em Safe” originated from a poem that Xavier wrote just before Johnson was scheduled to leave on a tour of Iraq about two years ago.

Games of the year

DETROIT

lthough the prep season has wrapped up, it’s hard not to look at the 2008-09 year and think about some of the accomplishments. It gave us great performances from Hayden, Steamboat and Soroco athletes and teams. Several athletes won state titles, including Kylee Swiggart and Sara Bearss in tennis and Cole Worsley in swimming. On Sunday, the Steamboat Pilot & Today sports desk will unveil its second annual Routt County High School Athletes of the Year. If anyone has suggestions, please send them this way. This week, however, let’s take a look at the top five games of the year. Certainly there were more, but these are the five that instantly stick out. Aug. 29, 2008. Soroco football beats North Park, 51-26 The game marked the Rams’ first victory in 8-man football. After several years of struggling with numbers and getting pounded in Class 1A, Soroco made the move down to 8-man. There were a lot of reservations about what to expect, but with coach David Bruner’s experience, the Rams looked like old veterans this Friday night. Dec. 5. Steamboat hockey beats Aspen, 3-2 in overtime. This is when junior goaltender Matt Dawes announced to the rest of the state it was going to be tough to score on him. Dawes stopped 51 of 53 shots, including 28 in the third period. Steamboat trailed by two goals early in the contest before Cody Fritz tied it up in the third. Grant Ehrick got the gamewinner 3:13 into overtime. The game set the stage for the Sailors’ most successful season to date. Jan. 24. Steamboat boys basketball beats Glenwood Springs, 47-45 in overtime The two best teams in the Western Slope League certainly lived up to that billing. In a game that had four ties and five lead changes, Steamboat found the deciding mismatch down the stretch. Sailors senior Alex See Graham, page 25

River Festival draws crowd for annual competition Joel Reichenberger PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Barry Smith has paddled a kayak in each of the Yampa River Festival kayak slalom competition’s 29 years. Luke Farney won the event this year, though, and Steve “Lewi” Lewis made a nearly perfect run through the rapids in a canoe at least twice the size of — and many times heavier than — the sleek kayaks most others captained. Kai Franken didn’t make it through all the gates, but the 7-year-old Steamboat Springs boater definitely stole the show. “I really like to paddle,” Kai said. “The winners get a T-

shirt, so I wanted to win. I thought if I went high enough, I could get all the gates.” Rick Franken said the main thing that can go wrong is his son can get scared and lose his nerve. There didn’t seem to be any danger of that Sunday. Far and away the youngest competitor in the Yampa River Festival’s kayaking slalom event, Kai made his way through the gates and down Fish Creek with a steely look of concentration on his face. He swung through two of the gates on his first trip, and when he made it through three on his second — narrowly missing several others — the crowd gathered on the bridge over the creek erupted.

“He’s figured it out,” Rick Franken said. “This year, he got his roll down. I’ve been working with him on it and he has really started snapping through them. That’s given him a lot of confidence and he’s a lot less intimidated by the water.” There was no shortage of competitors eager to take on Sunday’s roaring water, and a change in the annual event made it possible for them all to get plenty of opportunities. “This was fun because we shortened up the course,” Smith said. “It was still very tough, but you could run up back to the start and it wouldn’t take so long.” See Kayak, page 25

Throughout his winless stretch, Jason Hammel never questioned his performance. His first victory still felt pretty good. Hammel (1-3) allowed one run on six hits and three walks in sixplus innings in his ninth appearSUNDAY’S ance for the GAME: Rockies, includRockies 3 ing six starts, Tigers 1 and the Rockies beat the Detroit Tigers, 3-1. “I’ve been pitching pretty well, so I just knew I needed to keep plugging away,” he said. “Today, I had my sinker working well, so I just had to throw strikes and let the defense make plays behind me.” Hammel moved into the rotation in late April, and Colorado manager Clint Hurdle was happy to see him help the Rockies beat the Tigers for the second time in two days. “We were very pleased with his effort,” Hurdle said. “I thought there was more of an edge to his pitching today, and the one time he did get into trouble, he was able to minimize the damage.” Three relievers finished the Rockies’ interleague series win, with Huston Street pitching the ninth for his seventh save in as many tries. Todd Helton had a tying RBI double in the fifth and a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh. “We’re looking for traction right now, and this is the type of win that can help,” Hurdle said. “We’ve had some tough sledding lately, but we’ve got an alpha dog doing the pulling in Todd Helton.” After winning the first seven games of the homestand, Detroit only scored four runs while losing the final pair. “This was a very good homestand, but it could have been a great one,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “Hidden in that streak is that we haven’t done much offensively. We’ve pitched well, we’ve run well and we’ve caught the ball well, but offense hasn’t been there.”

Wood scored all of Steamboat’s points in overtime, including the go-ahead bucket with 1:01 left in overtime. March 14. Hayden girls basketball beats Meeker, 42-40 The win capped off a brilliant season for the Tigers and gave them a third-place finish in Class 2A. The game was back-and-forth for most of the day. But down the stretch, Hayden showed its mettle. Delanie VeDepo and Jarah Woodley both sank free throws in the last minute of the game to secure Hayden’s

best season ever. May 1. Steamboat lacrosse falls to Lewis-Palmer, 16-11 The game marked Steamboat’s first in the playoffs. After a perfect 13-0 regular season record, there were a lot of questions about whether Steamboat could compete with teams from the Front Range. The Sailors answered that and nearly pulled the game out. Down for most of the game, Steamboat had cut the lead to 11-10 with 11:09 left. Steamboat got two quality shots, one hit the post, before Lewis-Palmer put the game away.

said, but he hasn’t competed in the slalom as much recently. He first started canoeing about seven years ago. “The canoe is kind of like telemarking is to skiing,” he said. “I have been kayaking for 30 years, so canoeing is a new challenge. “You’re going to hit all the gates so finesse doesn’t matter as much. It’s just a different approach, and it’s really fun.”

Kayak continued from 24 Many competitors took their cracks at racing in two-person boats. Almost all also opted to make solo runs, as well. The challenge proved entirely different than the Charlie’s Hole rodeo local boaters tackled the day before. As much was obvious when Saturday’s rodeo champion, Dan Piano, couldn’t make it two-for-two in the river festival. Farney instead blew through the course in 1 minute, 14 seconds, cutting through the down-water gates and fighting his way back upstream to catch the up-water gates. “It was a fun event,” said Farney, who plans to travel later in the summer for the kayaking Junior Olympics. “It was shorter than I’m used to, but it was fun.” Competitors were assessed a 50-second penalty for every gate they missed and 2 seconds for every gate they touched. Farney managed just one 2second penalty. Lewis, meanwhile, said he realized making the run down the 150-yard course in a canoe almost was impossible without accruing penalty time. Years ago, he was a regular at the springtime river event, Lewis

The Denver Nuggets don’t just need work on their inbounds play. If they’re to bounce back from a second last-minute loss to the Lakers, they’ll also have to play to the rim Monday night and not the crowd as they did in Game 3. The Nuggets didn’t spend their Sunday lamenting Trevor Ariza’s deja vu steal in the final minute to help the Lakers snare a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. Instead, they talked about how they tried too hard to rile up their crowd, an ill-suited strategy that resulted in them missing 22 of 27 shots from outside the arc and shooting a playoff-low 39 percent while losing at home for the first time in 75 days. The Nuggets’ three best 3point shooters were all off the mark: Carmelo Anthony was 1for-7, Chauncey Billups 2-for-7, J.R. Smith 2-for-10. Kenyon Martin said he couldn’t believe the Nuggets fired up that many 3-pointers, “but we were trying to put them away.” “We’d go up seven, eight points and trying to get the building to erupt,” Martin said. “We’ve done that so much during the season and throughout the playoffs. So, we figured that’s the way it was going to be. And it’s not always going to be that way. You’ve got to grind it out sometimes, take the tough two or get to the line and score points that way.” Billups agreed the Nuggets “shot some bad 3-point shots at bad points of the game, just taking chances, trying to hit the dagger,” and vowed that would change for Game 4 tonight.

Red Wings on verge of finals CHICAGO

Marian Hossa’s short-handed goal got the short-handed Detroit Red Wings started Sunday. And once they got rolling, the defending champions overpowered the frustrated Chicago Blackhawks and moved within one win of a return trip to the Stanley Cup finals. With injured stars Nicklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk sidelined, Hossa and Henrik Zetterberg had two goals each, sending the Red Wings to a convincing 6-1 victory and a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. “We heard this morning during the pregame meal he (Lidstrom) was not playing. We just had to deal with it,” Zetterberg said. “Everybody

had to step up and play.” Game 5 is Wednesday night back in Detroit where the Red Wings opened this series with a pair of wins. Detroit took advantage of backup goalie Cristobal Huet, who made his first start of these playoffs in place of injured Nikolai Khabibulin. He gave up four goals and was pulled in the second. Rookie Corey Crawford took over for the last 15:55 of the period, but Huet returned in the third and allowed Zetterberg’s second power-play goal that made it 6-1. Hossa’s short-handed goal on a 2-on-1 break gave the Red Wings the early lead, and they added three power-play goals as Chicago wore out the door to the penalty box.

“We tried to keep our poise. We knew they were coming,” Zetterberg said about the Blackhawks, who had been upset after Detroit’s Niklas Kronwall flattened forward Martin Havlat with a hard hit on Friday and drove him out of the game. “They didn’t basically have anything else to do once the game kind of ran away,” Zetterberg added. Chicago coach Joel Quenneville was fuming over a call against Blackhawks defenseman Matt Walker for roughing during a scrum as the first period ended. Leading 2-0, the Red Wings went on a power play to start the second, and Valtteri Filppula scored just 1:13 in for a three-goal Detroit lead. “I think we witnessed probably the worst call in the history of sports there,” Quenneville said.

Penguins closer to sweeping ’Canes Joedy McCreary

RALEIGH, N.C.

Maybe the toughest part of the Pittsburgh Penguins’ recent dominance has been making it look so easy. Wins in the Eastern Conference finals are coming as quickly as their goals. Twice in Game 3, they scored a pair of goals seconds apart. That quickstrike ability has produced a flurry of victories that has put Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Co. on the verge of sweeping the Carolina Hurricanes and returning to the Stanley Cup finals for the second straight year. The East’s defending champions have no interest in allowing the Hurricanes to crawl back into this lopsided series. Instead,

NHL PLAYOFFS they’re looking to move on, well, quickly. “We know the series is 3-0. We know this (Carolina) team’s not going to quit — that’s their trademark,” Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said Sunday. “They’ve proven that, even in the games that have ended up with lots of goals on the board. ... While we have a lead, we know we need to get one more win to get this thing done with. Right now is better than waiting.” With the best-of-seven series set to resume Tuesday night, it seems as though the Penguins soon will be making travel plans for Detroit or Chicago with the Stanley Cup on the line. Pittsburgh has trailed for fewer than 14 minutes through

three games. The Penguins’ underrated defense has turned Carolina’s top scoring threats into nonfactors. In those rare instances when shots got through, goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has been steady in allowing 2.7 goals per game. But nothing has helped them take command of the series quite like the continued emergence of the one-two punch of young, world-class players. Crosby, who had a goal and an assist in Game 3, has scored twice and registered five points in three games. Pittsburgh has combine for 13 goals in two games. Even more impressively, Malkin followed his first career playoff hat trick in Game 2 by nearly doing it again, finishing with two goals and an assist in the third game. He has six goals and nine points in the series.

quiet auditorium and shouted, ‘Get in the huddle, Noah!’ Sure enough, Noah looked over at him, stood up and got in the huddle,” Youngdahl said. Corna traveled the world with his friends and family. Carlos Vidueira said he and Corna mountain biked in Costa Rica, dove with whale sharks in the Galapagos and fished for marlin off the coast of Africa. Corna’s cousin Brad Webb said his 4-year-old daughter asks him each night to tell “the Chris stories.” But there are too many to recount, Webb said. Corna was the type of person who treated others with generosity and compassion, he said. “If he were here, and I’m sure he is somewhere, he’d say, ‘Well, that sucks. He was a good dude, but that’s life, and that’s how it goes, so let’s move on,” Webb said. “And he’d probably crack some mildly inappropriate joke about the situation, and we’d all sort of laugh very nervously, and then we’d move on because he’d want us to be happy and not hurting.” Jeff Kelly, whom Corna called “Roomie,” lived with the Ohio native at the University of Florida. “This is the second hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. The first was living with Chris Corna,” Kelly joked.

JOEL REICHENBERGER/STAFF

A large crowd overflowed the tent at a Sunday memorial service for Steamboat Springs resident Chris Corna in front of Slopeside Grill.

His pain showed through, however, when he talked about how he and Corna considered themselves brothers. Corna was nicknamed “Hollywood,” Kelly said. It came about when Corna was working as a waiter at a sorority house. The women loved him, Kelly said. “They had this big, heavy-set cook named James, and he came in one day and said, ‘Man, you are Hollywood,’ and it stuck,” he said. “That’s the truth.” Kelly also shared the memories provided by his 12-year-old daughter, who knew Corna as Uncle Hollywood. “When he saw a huge bear in his front yard, he decided to scare that bear away by throwing a brick,” she wrote. “And he did, and the bear chased him and he lost his shoe. … He kept in touch with old girlfriends, even those he dyed Easter eggs with in college. … He was a mama’s boy, and even though he really wanted a motorcycle, he would never get one because his mom didn’t want him to get one.” All speakers offered the same message: Chris Corna improved their lives. He made life better for everyone around him, and he was generous with his money and his time.

Corna also loved to tease people. Mike Maudlin, who worked with him at Slopeside, told a story about a woman who came into the restaurant “dripping in diamonds.” Corna looked her over and said, “Well, I’ll bet this’ll be your first time in a restaurant without a drive-up window.” Corna’s generosity was legendary, Maudlin said, recalling the time Corna took his entire staff to Mexico. He also spoke of a trip he and Corna took to see Tom Petty in Jackson Hole, Wyo. A sheriff stopped Corna for going 85 miles per hour. “As he getting ready to walk away, Chris said, ‘How far is it?’ and the guy said, ‘Oh, about 85, 90 miles.’ And Chris said, ‘So, about an hour?’” Maudlin said. “The sheriff laughed and said, ‘Be safe.’” Through the tears and the laughter, mourners seemed to be starting their healing process. “My wish is for his eternal peace and that we may all keep the vivid memories of Chris, who is forever young,” Youngdahl said. Maudlin struck the same chord. “I once read, ‘If my passing has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy,’” Maudlin said. “It’s going to be easy.”
