Cleve Tidwell Tours Lamar, Colorado
Basking in the warm glow of the power plant light, the citizens of Lamar will welcome Cleve Tidwell, Republican Candidate for U.S. Senate on Thursday evening, May 7, 2009.

Lamar Boy Scouts at Yellowstone National Park
Boy Scout Troop 218 just returned from an extended camp at Buffalo Bill Camp in Wyoming, including a run to Yellowstone National Park. Troup leaders, Paul Westhoff, Carl Bender, David Parker, and Rick Francis took two vans and sixteen boy scouts. The first night the scouts camped at an RV Park near Casper Wyoming with a Boy Scout supporter who invited the troop to park there for a night. After a quick camp set up, scouts enjoyed their first night of rest amid the stars, followed by a Non-Denominational Church Service on Sunday Morning. In Shoshone, Wyoming the scouts stopped for bathroom breaks and folks shared their views of the landscape driving through Wyoming. Until Shoshone the boys slept much of the way, but afterward, they stayed awake to enjoy the views of red rocks, twisting mountain roads, a reservoir and tunnels where trains disappeared on one side of the mountain to reveal themselves on the other side. The boy scouts drove through a long tunnel and enjoyed the prospects of escavating and drilling to create highways and roads. Leader, Paul Westhoff, an employee of Colorado Department of Transportation, shared some of the concepts required to create and build vast read more…
