Feathers Wear Out
On Throw Back Thursday:
Many birds molt during summer's "down time" between raising their young and fall migration. At this point their feathers have worn out.
However (news to me!) female peregrine falcons choose a different time of year. They begin to molt during incubation, a convenient time to do it because they're temporarily sedentary and their mates supply their food. That's why we sometimes see a peregrine primary feather in the nest box. Who knew!

Charge your iPhone with your bicycle thanks to EcoXpower1/3
Attach EcoGear's EcoXpower contraption to your bike and not only will your pedal power keep the LED front light and rear light lit, you'll also be able to charge your phone at the same time.
The pedal-powered headlight and smart phone charger is compatible with most Android and GPS devices along with the iPhone, keeping them secure in a water resistant pouch while still keeping the touchscreen in use.
Your device sits between the handlebars so you have full access and view of the display. The EcoXpower itself fits between the spokes of the front wheel with a USB adapter cable threading up to the phone or sat nav device.
With each turn of the wheel, power is generated within the EcoXpower which in turn charges its own rechargeable battery, powers the bikes lights, and tops up the juice levels of your phone or GPS device. An on and off switch sits on the handlebars, should you wish to turn the bike's lights off manually.
The EcoXpower pedal powered headlight and smart phone charger is available from www.ecoxgear.com now for $99.99.

Hello Chris,
I guess the shape of this peninsula is not entirely coincidental. It looks like the kind of design that the Chinese love, and maybe it is actually Chinese made. It's amazing you could capture it so well from the plane.
Best regards,
A Tanker with Trees

holmertz (61734) 2017-07-25 2:59
Hello Bev,
What a fantastic reflection. The tanker is not perfectly polished, but in this light is serves as a perfect mirror. It pays to keep your eyes open. The totally unexpected photo opportunities are often those that turn out the best, or at least the most entertaining.
Kind regards,

Hello Christiane,
This decoration is amazing. You composed the photo well and exposed it perfectly. I am surprised that I don't recognize this place. It should have been a natural contribution for TE by many other photographers. Personally I never used the Warsaw metro, so I missed it.
Kind regards,
The lilies

holmertz (61734) 2017-07-25 2:52
Hello Malgo,
The flowers provide a fine foreground to the view of the temple and the trees. The light is well managed. Interesting photos from the protests but maybe the latest ones are not really for TE. You showed me one or two last week that were more "distinctly" composed, less crowded, that might have done well. I think the protests are continuing for a third veto, so you may find new opportunities.
Kind regards,

I had missed this photo. The POV is excellent and the light at dusk is very well captured. The bridge and the church are both beautiful and the artificial lights create a pleasant atmosphere.

Hello Jorge,
It's a beautiful gate with six bells. I wasn't aware of this place, but it also looks like a nice street. The table and chairs are quite well included and it doesn't matter that nobody is sitting there. In this case just the furniture does enough to provide a different view for the foreground.
Kind regards,

Hello Piotr,
It's a lovely view and probably the most frequently seen from Montenegro. It could be nice to stay there but I am sure it is now very expensive - and without this great view that you get for nothing from the hill.
Kind regards,

batalay (41071)
holmertz (61734) 2017-07-25 1:03
Hello Bülent,
"Men at work" is a popular theme, whether they are actually working or not. When they are also dressed in bright vests and helmets like here, such working men provide excellent opportunities for color photos. Here they are also accompanied by a lot of red elements that make the photo even more attractive. This picture reminds me of this one which I posted here last week.
Kind regards,

Hello Daniel,
This photo makes me smile. I took a photo from the same place but I dipped the camera down to capture the café and the book shop below it, with a different light. So far I didn't consider it good enough to show here, but you did well to also include the fine pattern of white lines on a red background at the top. It's a good combination of people and design and with a very good light.
Best regards,

Also discuss how to improve traffic webmaster should do a few points
learning SEO, learning all kinds of promotion has been a month ~ below I also share some of my experience, ~
1. learn to write soft, learn the soft of the benefits, not only in order to increase your site's reverse connection, and the main purpose is to guide Baidu spider to watch your web site ~
2. learns to create keywords. Why can other people search you from Baidu? That's because your web industry is in front of you when you search for keywords. For example, the keywords of beautiful pictures, I think everyone can think of using the word to do keywords, but because people are thought of as can be imagined, you can row on the first page, unless otherwise did not play good luck ~ this time we will have to modify some beautiful pictures, such as the beauty electric eye charming pictures into beautiful pictures, beautiful pictures. At this point, your chances of placing on Baidu's first page have increased greatly.
www.zizikj.cn this site did not know when the key words, Baidu included 900 article, but the traffic is only more than 50 ~ but since there are two key words taken after the first page of Baidu, the flow in the 500+, this is a very good start, more and more of the Baidu keywords to record your traffic will go up front this is the method, improve the flow of the most fundamental.
3. network promotion method.
these days try network promotion, the effect is not ideal, because there are people who do this occupation, but more than us, have no time to do this, it is not recommended to use ~
4. navigation promotion method. In fact, this is also a form of friendship connection, suggest new sites can find some related navigation for promotion. Www.qjiequ.cn this site adds a navigation aspect of QQ, which can bring IP50.
5. for their own advantages for some promotion program ~ mentioned earlier is a QQ type, non mainstream type of Web site, so for your QQ interest group to promotion will be better. (new station should do) so in a month's efforts, Baidu included two hundred, but the keyword is not too ideal, so the flow can only be maintained at about 300
short, the new owners of only one sentence, before you write the soft focus on Baidu, build some key words in Baidu concern you, on the site before Niubi use some labor promotion methods, which is not the best method, but which method is most suitable for you ~
let's have a passion to be the webmaster, and tomorrow will be better, ~
Baidu day included new station of successful experience
a lot of people have done the site after Baidu for the collection and worry, and some sites and even long-term Baidu not included. This time, I did a test, only a day less than, Baidu successfully included my new station. Contribute this experience and share it with you,
helps a client do the website, Ganzhou termite prevention and control network, website: http://www.gzbyfz.com. Completed in April 10th, after the on-line, did not do any promotion. After three days in Baidu site new station web site, found that has not included. And I also have a self-help link station (in order to avoid advertising suspicion, station name and web site is not public), Baidu included in the volume of about 1000 pages, Baidu update is more frequent. On the evening of April 13th, the station added to the navigation station navigation station, when the afternoon of April 14th site found that Baidu has been included in the new station, April 11th (this snapshot is a bit strange, 11, Baidu has visited my site?). Although now only included a page, but the actual combat results are still very successful, and the speed of the collection is also in line with my expectations, because there have been many times before such a successful experience!
summary: at Baidu high weight, frequently updated site, everyone is a shortcut to submit to Baidu web site, than to Baidu there do not know how many times to submit soon! Those websites, Baidu spider visit very frequently, may one day there will be many times. Use a variety of ways to send new sites to the above, Baidu spider found new web site, will certainly climb over to see! As for the method, everyone can more supernatural power. Go to the site navigation station and self-help link stations submit the URL is a very easy thing; if you do a bit, to the webmaster nets hair a soft, which after a few hours can be reproduced in the Baidu search site N to the
, a very good effect!
, if you have any better experience, welcome to discuss with me. My QQ is: 307080.
Where do seed users go These methods you do not know, OUT!
Hello, I am always Huo commandos No. 61, today to share with you, do guest, the most basic seed users where to find
first, we know that we must do guest, to the user recommendation, if not a basic trust, so basically, if you continue to issue, it is also little income, even some people will feel that advertising is harassment, back to. This is very unfavorable.
is there a simple way to find the people who trust us most? The answer is yes. We are our relatives, friends, primary school, junior high school, college classmates, colleagues.
These people are in contact with at least
, to have a basic understanding of you, at least you find people when they can beat that! You guys love days sleeping in class, also love the girl deskmate pulling braids, ha ha ha ha!
These people said the
, we don't need too much explanation, or say, no need to cultivate a sense of trust, because trust even if for a long time without contact, arise spontaneously, or through some simple things, let you feel warm, these people are our best quality seed users, will have large use.
how do you use it,
to share a simple process, we can refer to.
for example, everyone has their own students, the students also believe that the time we built group, this time, you can go to the group look for everyone, first to send a red envelope, ask you how to, and then find a suitable time to cut, tell you their status. And then prepare yourself.
's technique is as follows:
Hello everyone, my sister (Shi Di) at present in the company looking for a part-time job, is the main safeguard of our school QQ group (WeChat group) QQ:2881860461, salary details, the work is simple, without any input is absolutely not a single brush, such as micro business.
if the students recently free, very easy to find you, because the students are certainly a little stronger sense of trust, at least not think he is a liar, and then to briefly explain their situation: our company is Tmall and Taobao hundreds of thousands of businesses need cooperation, sales, so it will provide us with some internal coupons. The original price of hundreds of pieces of things, as long as tens of dollars or a few dollars now, and then find a real commodity to students, it is best to have a real buy goods such as increasing the sense of trust to my classmates.
that student will ask you, then what do I need to do,
answers to the students as follows:
your job is to build a QQ group of your classmates (Wei Xinqun), the company will build a blank group for you, and then you pull your friends to the group, and then you can maintain them
Qi Ping network promotion must pay attention to several major points of attention (1)
network promotion is more and more familiar now. Especially in the current prevalence of the Internet, enterprise information faster. They also contact network for many years, I love the network promotion, so often to build their own website, but also a joke… But during that time, I learned a lot. In the network promotion and website construction, I also slowly sum up, the following major attention is that I usually, and slowly accumulated. Share it now, and hope to be useful to friends in need.
, point O: first of all, you must ensure the quality of your website. Quality is not only from the appearance, but also from the content. The site is a product, since it is the product of potential customers is the first focus on quality, but this product has its own particularity, it does not need to be purchased to be used, its quality is to enrich the through content, good and useful value to the viewer, the content can be the quality of the content.
first point: must distinguish the network promotion and the network marketing difference. These are two related and very different concepts, not confused. In the concrete implementation, will not feel blind. Network promotion, straightforward to say is as far as possible the use of the Internet platform, let more people know your site, product or service; and network marketing, is through the Internet as much as possible to allow more people to visit your site and buy your product or service, must return to be successful marketing. However, the two are complementary, and the maturity of network promotion will eventually lead to the success of network marketing. At the same time, the benefits of network marketing will be more conducive to the promotion of network.
second points: in the promotion process, we should pay attention to website brand, product or service brand. I found it on the Internet, enterprises or individuals to post in the forum of the so-called forum marketing, something pure product information, some directly in others that copy of the article, which also includes other brands. It is also overwhelming in all forums published, in the title of the modification can be modified. Doing so can only make others feel disgusted, not only can not play the role of network promotion, but also to others to your brand in the hearts of a certain degree of discomfort. Therefore, we must start from the long-term brand building, in the promotion process must share some meaningful things, in which the incorporation of the website construction concept, the nature of the site content and the advantages of appropriate, has reached communicated to potential users to.
third points: in soft Wen promotion, must do the essence of pseudo original. Soft Wen promotion, that is, in the form of text to their marketing website, products or services to promote, has achieved the purpose of network marketing. Soft Wen is to write out. Own a word, a word, a feeling, a feeling hit, it should belong to the original. You certainly don't have much time for writing. So pseudo original, it seems very important. Pseudo originality is not plagiarism, but reading
Stationmaster talk about the course of website construction of summer vacation
In the article, "one of my sophomore Wangzhuan experience" in
before, I told myself in the summer of hard Wangzhuan experience. One of the bitter only and I like contact Wangzhuan novice to get a profound experience. Making money online is actually more tiring than going to the streets and selling fliers, and the chances of earning money aren't really big. But learning knowledge, knowing friends and personal experience are beyond compare. Although at the end of the day, we don't know how much money we can imagine, but the experience and the experience I have gained is a precious memory for us. Well, now let me talk about the process of building a website. I hope I can share with some of the novice masters who are studying and exploring with me. I encourage them to communicate with each other.
1, domain name space
domain name is not in the traditional network new network buy, the domain name business was too expensive to sell, not necessarily how good the service, most people buy in that is because they are a sound brand, bought the heart comfortable, but I am a student want the money, and did not feel the domain name the importance of all is to buy a domain name, which is to buy all the same, as long as can be used on the line, just as we can not afford to buy brand-name clothes, you can also buy a pedestrian street wear wear almost got. I know to buy cheap and stable and good service in foreign countries, but unfortunately there is no credit card, no PayPal, can not buy, Taobao had to buy online, buy a CN domain name, only 13 yuan, very cheap, used now have what problem, and then in the A5 webmaster forum see there is free to send the CN domain name, as long as the QQ on the signature changed its advertising, a month on the line, this is very cost-effective, anyway, a QQ signature on the line.
's domain name is found, but want to light a good domain spent half a day, many look good names are registered, then think of or do not use some of the letters, meaning very obvious with digital domain name, domain name is better, then do the other site can use. After the domain name, find the space. Space is also bought on Taobao, and now Taobao online business competition is fierce, a business integrity is not good, there is no way to mix on Taobao, and then did not think so much, that is cheap to paint.
two, the domain name space fix, the rest is the establishment of the station program, beginning don't know what the station program is good, there are a lot of CMS, also checked the data, then found that the construction of forum would PHP wind and DZ is better, so I use is easy, because listening others get easy easy easy novice. It's easier to change. Spent two days and two nights, and finally built the site basically, is a job search network, specifically for our school and the outside world of a job search platform.
three, the website is built, and then put on the previous application of Google Advertising, thinking that this is good, can sit waiting to make money, think it is very beautiful, the truth is very cruel, over a week, every day only.

Property companies have difficulties in access to community O2O, how to increase income
property has access to community O2O
wants to eat alone in the community market, many vertical business segments are qinliqinwei. On the face of it, it's thriving, but the actual results simply don't stand up to scrutiny. Unwilling to open small farmers do not change consciousness, big property companies can only miss the community O2O opportunities.
most people are accustomed to from the perspective of the Internet in the community of O2O, to see how big this market demand, how many users, there are a lot of people often complain about doing community O2O. Property, property or not with either as a business, can not advance. Not only have you ever been quiet and seriously considered, what is the demand for property, and where are their pain points?
first understand the current situation and problems of property, but also help the third parties in the community O2O market development.
property common problems: property costs limited, labor costs rose, poor liquidity
property company to adjust the property fees is difficult, there are around the regulators and the industry association, the residents in the industry, property companies can not easily raise fees, but now the labor costs rose in the background, not mention the property costs for many property companies operating ability too so, the ability of some property companies began to try to increase the way to realization, and the cost of using technology to reduce personnel costs.
from the perspective of Internet plus the development of community O2O market can bring more income for the property, but in the actual operation process, most of the property companies simply can not do this work well, now many property companies are trying to be truly can receive the effect of scanty income. The most important thing is that the property based thinking, not much hope that other companies to encroach on this belongs to their market. The people who want to enter the community O2O third party company only "hovering around the market, not to do not want to give up.
today, even if there are a lot of opportunities to be realized in front of the property company, they can not eat, the changing of market environment, personnel structure of the company's own resources, technology, depth of understanding of the industry, the internal friction resistance and other factors in limiting property in the community O2O market can make a difference. Whether in front of the property tycoon, or have a certain scale of medium-sized property, or the vast number of small property, each has its own problems. The third party to penetrate the property, also need to wait for the market slowly educating them, those big property itself try wrong, will pay attention to the feasibility of cooperation with other people, but small property real money after seeing other counterparts, will become more serious in attitude.
at this stage, we might as well wait for the first time, so that those who think they can do the property companies to try, and so they are more rebuffed, it will naturally come back to find other companies cooperation >

Im a single mother raising 2 kids. My ex was claiming the kids for several years. Every year I'd have to handle the IRS problems and prove they live with me. I am used to the IRS becoming a pain. Earlier this year it happened again and I found myself due $14,000 for a different issue. This firm was finally capable to eliminate my IRS problems. I was very fed up with fighting them on my own. Id recommend them to anybody who has IRS tax problems! Keep it up!

Cody DeMoss collects $50K in Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – When veteran saddle bronc rider Cody DeMoss walked off the medal podium, he was all smiles.
The Heflin, La., cowboy had reason for joy as he had just won $50,000 for taking the title at the Komatsu Equipment Days of '47 Cowboy Games & Rodeo July 24.
DeMoss claimed the gold medal with his 87-point ride on Diamond G Rodeo's Owen's Mistake before a sellout crowd at the brand-new Days of '47 Arena at Utah State Fairpark.
"That should nail me a trip to the NFR, and now all the pressure is off as far as making the Finals," DeMoss said. "This is definitely a feather in the hat. This is a big, cool rodeo. I never won this before when it was (the Days of '47 Rodeo) downtown. I made it back here tonight by a half a point, in a tiebreaker at that. The stars lined up for me and I thank God for that. We usually win buckles; I have some gold at the house, and I'm glad to put this with the collection."
DeMoss was 19th in the July 17 WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings with $35,951, and with his performance Monday he moved up to third in the July 25 standings with $87,551.
"I had not been on that horse before," DeMoss said. "Joe Lufkin, a buddy of mine, had (Owen's Mistake) here the other day and it bucked him off and they marked the horse a 24. He's dang sure the real deal and the first four or five jumps he felt really good. He was a bucking son of a gun."
When DeMoss saw his name next to Owen's Mistake, his aim was to keep his mind clear.
"I try not to think about it (the horse), and if I can keep my head out of it, then it seems like it works better for me," he said.
After his victory, DeMoss' next order of business was to think about what he was going to do with the pile of money he won.
"I'm probably going to just put that into the bank and I'm hoping I get to buy some land with it," DeMoss said. "There's a friend of mine down there (in Heflin, La.) I've been getting at to try and sell me some land, and I think this might do it."
With his 13th trip to the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER now looming, DeMoss was plenty thankful.
"God blessed me with a rhythm, and I thank him whenever I'm in time with it," DeMoss said.
Other winners at the $1 million rodeo were bareback rider Wyatt Denny (88 points on Diamond G Rodeo's Diamond Hope), steer wrestler Ryle Smith (4.0 seconds), team ropers Jr. Dees and Tyler McKnight (4.4 seconds), tie-down roper Tuf Cooper (7.5 seconds), barrel racer Hailey Kinsel (17.06 seconds) and bull rider Sage Kimzey (90 points on Diamond G Rodeo's Komatsu's War Party).
2. Dent wins Spanish Fork with 88-point ride
SPANISH FORK, Utah – The Spanish Fork (Utah) Fiesta Days Rodeo dished out $7,663 to bareback rider Steven Dent for his 88-point ride on Frontier Rodeo's Gun Fire on July 24.
"It's a great rodeo, and they've got good bucking horses and a lot of money, and the best crowd we ride in front of all year," the 31-year-old Nebraskan said. "To get off and be 88 is pretty exciting."
Dent's score was just one point shy of matching the Spanish Fork arena record of 89 points, which is shared by James Sursa (2006) and Ryan Gray (2009).
"That horse (Gun Fire) was really good – he just jumped and kicked hard straight away and made a tight hook to the left for the last few seconds," Dent said. "He was just what a guy wants – up and down and with something to spur at."
Dent's aiming for his eighth qualification for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER, having qualified in 2007-08 and 2010-14. Although he's picked up some checks along the way, Spanish Fork was his first win of the 2017 season.
"It's been a trying year," Dent said. "I haven't been (drawing very well) and this is the latest I've ever been to finally win one. It's a weight off my shoulders so I can get on a roll and get where I want to be."
Dent was sitting at No. 23 in the WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings prior to winning Spanish Fork. He was bumped up to 20th thanks to the $7,663 he won at Spanish Fork, along with the $2,207 he earned at the K-Days Rodeo at Edmonton, Alberta, on July 23, and the $1,600 he earned at the Komatsu Equipment Days of '47 Cowboy Games & Rodeo at Salt Lake City, which ended on July 24.
"This sets me up a lot closer to where I want to be – I was $10,000 out of the Top 15, and to get within striking distance is a big help," Dent said, estimating he'll have about $50,000 earned once his recent winnings are added into the world standings. "Most of the other times I made the NFR, I haven't been close to that – so I should be good going into the last couple of months.
"It's good to get on a roll before Cheyenne (Frontier Days) and hopefully I'll do some good there," Dent said. "But, I'm a long way from where I want to be and I have a lot of work left to do."
Other winners at the $276,762 rodeo were all-around cowboy Caleb Smidt ($3,538 in tie-down roping and team roping), steer wrestler Ross Mosher (7.7 seconds on two head), team ropers Clay Smith/Paul Eaves (9.0 seconds on two head), saddle bronc rider Heith DeMoss (88.5 points on Frontier Rodeo's Medicine Woman), tie-down roper Reese Riemer (17.5 seconds on two head), barrel racer Stevi Hillman (16.72 seconds) and bull rider Derek Kolbaba (89.5 points on Frontier Rodeo's Joy Stick).
3. Straws Milan earns nearly $10K with 2.9-second run
EDMONTON, Alberta – Steer wrestler Straws Milan earned two spots in the record books while collecting nearly $10,000 with his 2.9-second run at the K-Days Rodeo in Edmonton, Alberta, on July 23.
With nearly half a million dollars on the line in total payout at this newly-minted rodeo, competition was tight. Milan found himself having to top Chance Butterfield's 3.3-second time if he wanted to place first.
"I honestly knew I could be close to it. Cody Cassidy was hazing for me, and he told me this steer is slow and I said if I get a safe start I could throw fast enough for second or third (place) to get a check," Milan said. "But, I had a better start than I planned on, and a better run than I thought. I knew I had 3.3 beat, but didn't know I was 2. They had the clock up and I could see it, and you never see a timed-event guy throw his hat – but I jumped up and threw my hat and was excited. I never dreamt I would throw one in 2, so it was exciting."
Milan joins the ranks of David Gibson (1994), Darby Roy (1988) and Ralph Nelson (1981) for clocking the fastest steer wrestling time within the Canadian Pro Rodeo Association. Meanwhile, Milan's time in Edmonton also made the top of the PRCA's 2017 leaderboard, alongside Damian Padilla, who clocked in at 2.9 seconds at the Avi River Stampede PRCA Rodeo in Fort Mohave, Ariz., on March 12.
The PRCA's record for fastest steer wrestling time is a bit tricky. The record for fastest time without a barrier is 2.2 seconds, set by Oral Zumwalt at Palm Springs, Calif., in 1939. Meanwhile, the record for fastest time with a barrier is 2.4 seconds – shared by Jim Bynum and Todd Whatley at Marietta, Okla., in 1955; Gene Melton at Pecatonia, Ill., in 1976; and Carl Deaton at Tulsa, Okla., in 1976.
Milan's been trotting along this season, picking up $1,000 to $2,000 checks at Great Falls, Mont., on Jan. 15, Coleman, Alberta, on April 30, and Teepee Creek, Alberta, on July 16 – but he's not quite where he was during his best year to date when he placed 15th in the WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings in 2013 with $61,013.
Milan, who is celebrating his 31st birthday on July 25, hadn't competed in the U.S. since the Reno (Nev.) Rodeo at the end of June.
"This has been the slowest I've went," Milan said. "I turned out of everything over the Fourth of July because I didn't have much money won, so I stayed home and worried about Canadian rodeos. But after Edmonton, I'm going to start entering again. … I was needing to win some money, or it would have been the end of my season."
Although Milan's run was worth $9,983 – which bumped him up into the Top 50 – the real value is in getting his name in the record books.
"It was amazing when it happened – I've been having a bad year on both sides of the border and I knew how the rodeo would pay and it was a game-changer," Milan said. "I was more excited about the pay; and they said that's in the history books and that can't be taken away from you, so it means quite a bit."
Prior to Edmonton, Milan's personal best time was 3.2 seconds.
Milan saw his steer the night before his record-setting time and knew he'd be able to make a good run.
"He didn't run as hard as the rest, but I didn't think I would throw him that fast," Milan said.
Milan was riding Smoke, a 17-year-old horse that he and his brother, Tanner, bought from Eldon Day. Tanner Milan rode Smoke at the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER in 2015.
"Ever since we got him, he's been a big difference – there's a lot of credit to that horse," Milan said.
Now, Milan is back in the game.
"I'm excited to enter a bunch more and keep going," Milan said, adding that he's aiming for the Canadian Finals Rodeo and wants to qualify to compete in some of next year's big rodeos.
Other winners in Edmonton were bareback rider J.R. Vezain (87.25 points on C5 Rodeo's Make Up Face), team ropers Dustin Bird/Russell Cardoza (4.2 seconds), saddle bronc rider Zeke Thurston (88.75 points on Northcott-Macza's Get Smart), tie-down ropers Tuf Cooper and Blane Cox (8.1 seconds each), barrel racer Crystal Christman (14.726 seconds) and bull rider Sage Kimzey (88 points on C5 Rodeo's Big Dip).
4. Slone aces second major win of 2017 at Salinas
SALINAS, Calif. – Tie-down roper Ace Slone finally retired his 2010 PRCA Resistol Tie-Down Roping Rookie of the Year buckle and replaced it with his 2017 California Rodeo Salinas buckle – identical to the one his dad, Tod Slone, has worn since 1991.
Ace Slone earned his Salinas buckle by clocking in at 32 seconds flat on three head, and his dad earned his by going for 40.7 seconds on three head.
"I was a full 8 seconds faster – and that just makes my buckle that much shinier than his," the 28-year-old Texan cowboy joked. "I've been watching my dad wear that buckle for the last 25 years and it's nice to have one a lot shinier than his."
Slone was sitting at 17th in the WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings prior to winning Salinas, but he's not sure how much of a boost his win will provide.
"I would stress more than anything how good everyone is competing," Slone said. "Everyone is winning a lot out here and it's a testament to the competitiveness of the calf ropers and the opportunities the PRCA has given us to compete and go win money. Even with a big win like this, it's not like I'll jump up a lot (in the world standings) because everyone is winning a lot. It's a testament to how good they rope and how good of a job the PRCA has done to increase the payouts and give us a lot of opportunities."
Slone's no stranger to ProRodeo success as he finished 16th in the WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings in 2012. Since then, he's been ironing out the details and now has an ace up his sleeve – a leased 11-year-old American Quarter Horse named Ripple, who's owned by Justin Martin of Evanston, Wyo.
"They stopped to help me on the side of the road is how we met – I like to say it's from trying to rodeo in a Chevy and not being able to get out of Salt Lake," Slone said, referencing the steep Three Sisters pass on Interstate 80. "Every time I would overheat while climbing out of Salt Lake City, and so I'd like to thank Chevy for helping me to meet some people who were trying to help."
Salinas is Slone's fourth win of the 2017 season while riding Ripple, and it's his second major victory as he also won La Fiesta de los Vaqueros in Tucson, Ariz., in February.
"After a year of rodeoing on him, this year has been my best opportunity horse-wise," Slone said. "Speed plays a role at those arenas more than anywhere else, so it's a testament to him."
The road to rodeo success wasn't just difficult in getting from one competition to the next. Slone has had his share of injuries that have knocked him out of competition and kept him out of the Top 15. A couple of Slone's injuries happened at Salinas, so he was a little gun shy about this rodeo.
"It took me a few years to want to go back," Slone said. "I've had some tough times out there. Not to say any rodeo owes anyone anything, but if one ever did, it was a good one to pay me back a little bit."
Of course, there's more than just a buckle awarded for winning Salinas as Slone drove away with a grand total of $7,415.
"I had one of the only calves that didn't try to outrun me and that was an advantage due to the long barrier and long box," Slone said. "It's a cool testament to him (Ripple) – it means he can really run and do that good in the field, it's a rare combination. That's a pretty cool notch on his belt for sure."
Slone didn't slow down after Salinas as he hit the road for two major rodeos the following day – Spanish Fork and Ogden, Utah.
Other winners at the $360,578 rodeo were all-around cowboy Jordan Ketscher ($3,688 in tie-down roping and team roping), bareback rider Clayton Biglow (164 points on two head), steer wrestler Dakota Eldridge (21.9 seconds on three head), team ropers Chad Masters/Travis Graves (50.5 seconds on five head), saddle bronc rider Brody Cress (158.5 points on two head), barrel racer Timi Lickley (65.53 seconds on four runs) and bull rider Trey Benton III (172.5 points on two head).
5. Tanner Milan stays hot at Snake River Stampede
NAMPA, Idaho – Steer wrestler Tanner Milan knocked the rattles off of the Snake River Stampede, as his 6.9-second two-head average was plenty enough to ride out of Idaho as champion.
Milan laid the groundwork in Nampa with a first-round run of 3.4 seconds, tying Kody Woodward atop the leaderboard heading into the July 22 short round. Maintaining the same vigor and cowboy muster, Milan claimed the final round with yet another stellar 3.5-second run to clinch the win, while adding a monstrous $11,108 to an expanding wallet.
"I had a couple great runs there," Milan said. "It doesn't get any better than that."
Despite focusing his attention towards the heat of the competition, Milan relished the attitude of the arena.
"The whole building was packed solid," Milan said. "It's pretty electric in there, and we couldn't have asked for a better crowd. The atmosphere was just amazing. It's quite the feeling."
The 33-year-old Milan cites the quality of the steers as the reason for such a dominating week in Nampa, with due diligence going toward his hazer.
"My first steer, I got some really good information on him," said Milan. "I talked to a couple of guys about him and he was slower than some of the other ones. So actually, I had to let him out just a little bit more and I got a heck of a good start.
"The steer was really good on the ground and I couldn't have asked for a better steer. I had Tyler Pearson hazing for me, and he did a heck of a job."
Milan entered this week ranked sixth among steer wrestlers in the WEATHER GUARD® PRCA World Standings, and after a dominating Cowboy Christmas run, the Canadian cowboy is still attempting to decipher whether this surging season is currently his reality.
"It's been amazing," Milan explained. "It's been a dream season so far. I can't complain about anything that's gone on this year. It's been absolutely excellent and I just hope to keep it going."
After his first Wrangler National Finals Rodeo presented by Polaris RANGER qualification in 2015, Milan's follow-up campaign a season ago didn't go as planned, as the Calgary native finished 27th in 2016. However, with a tidal wave of momentum still carrying the current, Milan had nothing but praise for his support system.
"Everything just seems to be falling in place," he said. "My family has been very supportive and they're behind me. All my friends, they're cheering for me, and my traveling partners have been great. Everyone has their spirits up, and my whole traveling group is in my corner."
Other winners at the $379,717 rodeo were all-around cowboy Rhen Richard ($8,538 in tie-down roping and team roping), bareback riders Ty Breuer and Caleb Bennett (167.5 points on two head each), team ropers Kaleb Driggers/Junior Nogueira (16.7 seconds on three head), saddle bronc rider Layton Green (169 points on two head), tie-down roper Matt Shiozawa (26.7 seconds on three head), barrel racer Kassie Mowry (32.09 seconds on two runs) and bull rider Ty Wallace (170 points on two head).
6. News & Notes from the rodeo trail
WranglerNetwork.com will livestream the Cheyenne (Wyo.) Frontier Days at 12:15 p.m. (MT), July 28-30 … On July 27, and playing through Aug. 6, Theatre on the Ridge in Paradise, Calif., will debut a new musical comedy, "Rodeo." The show was created by award-winning playwright Lynn Elliott, a retired Chico State professor and novelist. Since he was born and raised in Cardiff, Wales, Elliott felt the need to explain his creation. "I was looking around for a play with its own character and its own culture and I chose the rodeo," he said in the Oroville Mercury Register. "This play has its own specific characters and characteristics: rodeo clowns and bullfighters, cowboys and girls, daring young people who challenge beasts in battles of success and failure. A place that celebrates life and flirts with death." "Rodeo" tells the story of a young wealthy socialite from New York City, Harper (Samantha Lucas), who decides to go to school in Wyoming. She falls in love with a young cowboy, Cody McGraw (Greg Scholfield). Tickets cost $14 reserved, $12 general and $16 at the door. Tickets are only available online at www.totr.org … Rodeo fans will see a different face behind the microphone at Kansas' Biggest Rodeo in Phillipsburg Aug. 3-5. Randy Corley, who has announced the Phillipsburg rodeo since 1984, is unable to be in Phillipsburg this year, due to his upcoming induction into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs on Aug. 5. So, Corley's good friend Wayne Brooks will take care of his duties while he is gone this year. Corley was influential in getting his friend Brooks started in the announcing business. It was 1994, and Brooks had been riding bareback horses for six years. He loved it, but "I wasn't any good at it," he said in the Hays (Kan.) Post. He had started announcing small rodeos, and at a rodeo in Phoenix, a mutual friend introduced him to Corley and Corley's father-in-law, Hadley Barrett. A friendship was struck, and Corley and Barrett signed for Brooks to get his PRCA announcer's card. "If it hadn't been for those guys, I don't know where I'd have been today," Brooks said. … Scott Grover has seen his share of big-time rodeos traveling the country as a professional rodeo announcer, but there's nothing quite like coming home. Though Grover didn't grow up in Manhattan, the Morrowville, Kan., product did graduate from Kansas State in 2001, even announcing the K-State Rodeo numerous times before moving on to the pro ranks. This week Grover will be back, but at the Kaw Valley Rodeo – Manhattan's PRCA rodeo – for the first time as the announcer. "I'm excited to come back," he said to The Manhattan (Kan.) Mercurynewspaper. "I grew up going to that rodeo every summer. It means a lot to be able to come back now and announce that rodeo." The 42nd Kaw Valley Rodeo gets starts Thursday night and goes through Saturday with each performance beginning at 8 p.m. (CT) at Wells Arena in CiCo Park. In addition to Grover, rodeo clown Andy Burelle is set to make his debut at the rodeo.
"This is a one-of-a-kind medal and I was the first guy to win it, which is pretty special to me."
– Bareback rider Wyatt Denny told the ProRodeo Sports News after winning a
gold medal at the Komatsu Equipment Days of '47 Cowboy Games & Rodeo.

☛ Modine Smith passes at age 94 7-24-17
By Glory Ann Kurtz
July 24, 2017
She promoted cutting through the NCHA for five decades serving on the Executive Committee of both the NCHA and PCCHA, was inducted into the Halls of Fame of both organizations and had the Modine Smith Humanitarian Award named in her honor. Modine Smith, Grass Valley, Calif, was 94 when she passed away on July 22, 2017. She will be missed by many. Ironically she died during one of the NCHA Triple Crown Events – the NCHA Summer Spectacular, which was going on in the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth.
According to an article by Elaina Ross on the NCHA website, Modine, along with her late husband Ed Smith, held PCCHA shows at their ranch in Escalon, Calif., where Ed mentored many riders. After Ed passed away in 1979, Modine continued to champion cutting on the local and national level. She was also a recipient of the PCCHA Ed Smith Memorial Sportsmanship Award. and created She also helped create some of the standards cutting, that we take advantage of today, including the dedicated practice pen, adjusted monitor system for judges, pre-settling of cattle and the PCCHA Gelding Incentive program.
She had a very optimistic attitude and everyone was soon drawn to her.
Modine is survived by her children: John Michael Biggs, Patricia (Biggs) Leach and Laura (Smith) Vaughn; sons-in-law Steve Leach and Frank Vaughn, as well as eight grandchildren, 11 great grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren.
Celebrations of Modine's life are being planned for the PCCHA Futurity held Oct. 6-13 in LasVegas, Nev. and the NCHA Futurity, Nov. 15-Dec 10 in Fort Worth. In lieu of flowers, the family request donations on Modine's behalf go to the PCCHA Youth Scholarship Program or the NCHA Foundation.Read More
☛ Tommy Manion on camera shooting stallion with BB pistol 7-20-17
By Glory Ann Kurtz
July 20, 2017
I have now heard from a credible witness, that they knew the well-known Non-Pro who was at an NCHA Cutting in Whitesboro, Texas, on Saturday, July 15, and shot a tied-up unruly stallion multiple times with a BB pistol. Another witness had taken a video of the event and it was soon in the hands of the NCHA. The witness assured me that the Non-Pro in question was NCHA Non-Pro Tommy Manion, who at one time had the pistol under a jacket draped over his hand and dropped it on the ground and bent over to pick it up – all of which is on the video.
After receiving and confirming the reported horse abuse by Manion, I reached out to Rick Dennis, a Threat Assessment/Risk Analyst who is also a former Drug Enforcement Agent, for clarification of penalties resulting from Manion's actions – for Manion, those who witnessed the event and the NCHA. Essentially, Rick informed me there are two laws in play here, one Federal, the other state, as well as two NCHA rule infractions.
There is a little-known Federal Law entitled 18 USC 4 – Misprision Of A Felony, which specifically states: "Whoever having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both." Animal abuse is now a Federal Felony with hefty fines and prison sentences.
Click for Misprision Of A Felony>>
Also, the State of Texas Animal Cruelty Law, which rates animal abuse as a Felony, states those prosecuted could be punishable by two years in a state jail and/or a $10,000 fine.
Click for Texas Animal Cruelty laws>>
Therefore, since the NCHA has already been notified of the animal cruelty case, along with being supplied with a video of the act, Manion has placed the association in a precarious spot, as whoever doesn't report this gross violation to law enforcement in accordance with the provisions set forth in the USC 4 Code -Misprision of a Felony – is in direct violation of the federal law and could be subjected to arrest and prosecution at a later date. This includes Russell McCord, who received the phone call, as well as the Executive Director and the entire Executive Committee who met last night after being informed of the incident and determined their association's punishment for the offense – and possibly even the lawyer who was informed of the infraction and gave the Executive Committee advice, as well as show management.
Difference of penalties between NCHA and governmental agencies:
The other curious nature of Manion's act is the two violations in the NCHA Rulebook pertaining to animal abuse and cruelty and how they differ from Federal and State laws.
More specifically, the NCHA Rulebook states "if show management or a judge at any NCHA-approved or sponsored event discovers inhumane treatment or abuse of a horse, they may immediately bar the responsible party and contestant's horse from further competition in the event and the judge will give a score of zero. The Executive Director must be notified within seven (7) days of the closing date of the show involved and the complaint will be referred to the appropriate NCHA Committee for investigation and consideration. Note: the Federal law says "as soon as possible It must be made known to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States and (the person) is to be fined or imprisoned for not more than three years."
Click for NCHA Standing Rule 35>>
While the NCHA disciplines animal cruelty by offense with a fine ($1,000 to $10,000), probation and/or suspension, the State of Texas Animal Cruelty Laws say that the perpetrator could be punished by two years in a state jail and/or a $10,000 fine.
Also, the NCHA should make sure that the abused animal is made available as soon as possible to a licensed veterinarian for any damage that has been done, especially since the person who described the incident to me said the when the BBs hit the stallion, he crouched and his body shook in fear.
On May 15, 2015, Rick Dennis wrote an article addressing this very problem called "Horse Abuse Part IV." There are many good and devoted trainers in this industry; however, unfortunately we do have our share of abusive Open and Non-Pro trainers that should be removed. Click here for a copy of this article.
What's the hurry?
Why did the NCHA Executive Committee jump on this animal abuse case so quickly. I feel it is because they just tried to strengthen their animal abuse penalties due to the fact that PETA might come down on them and the sport of cutting if they waited. A smart move!Read More
☛ From the Editor 7-20-17
By Glory Ann Kurtz
July 20, 2017
Yesterday I sent out a notice in "Latest News" that a "well-known horse owner shot a tied-up unruly stallion multiple times with a BB pistol at an NCHA cutting in Whitesboro, Texas. An update to that information is that the show was held on Saturday, July 15, rather than July 8. Also, that well-known horse owner is a top non-pro. NCHA's Director of Judges Russell McCord was called and told what was going on and he told the caller to do whatever it took to stop it and make the person shooting the horse leave, which he did.
A bystander did take a video of the shooting which is now in the hands of the NCHA, and I understand that they have initiated the process against the person that did the shooting, as it is definitely against' the NCHA's highly advertised zero tolerance "horse-cruelty" policy. Still no mention of that person's name but I do know that that person is a Non-Pro and a large advertiser in the Cutting Horse Chatter, giving the NCHA some hard choices.
I was given the name of the perpetrator; however, that person who told me about the shooting was not at the show and heard the information from someone who was. I would like to hear it from anyone who was present at this cutting who knew who the shooter was. I will not reveal your name. Call me at 940-433-5232 or 940-393-1865 or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Since the NCHA has taken action, If that person's name is not revealed sooner, I'm sure the perpetrator's name will show up eventually in the Chatter under "Suspensions," or possibly (but hopefully not) under "Probations."
The second go-round of the Open Classic/Challenge was completed yesterday, with those 26 scoring a 435.0 and above, advancing to the finals. Jon Burgess, riding Littlemak (Starlights Gypsy x Just a Swinging), owned by Anderson Cattle Co., Victoria, Texas, topped the two go-rounds with a 440.5 total score.
Grant Setnicka, not only finished a close second by scoring a 440.0 riding Ichis My Choice (Cat Ichi x My Little Abra), owned by J Five Horse Ranch Mgmt, LLC, Weatherford, Texas, but was the only rider to qualify three horses for the Finals. Also tying for second with a total score of 440.0 was Ed Flynn, riding Play Miss Boonsmal (Peptoboonsmal x Play Miss) for Danny R. Jones of Canada. The Open Classic/Challenge Finals is scheduled for Saturday,July 22, following six sets of the NCHA Derby Amateur and UnlimitedAmateur first go-round.
The Non-Pro and Limited Non-Pro in the Classic/Challenge go-round is being held today. Also, don't forget that the Western Bloodstock Summer Spectacular Sale,with 145 consignments, will be held Saturday, July 22, in the Watt Arena, starting at 9 a.m.Read More
☛ Where have I been lately? HOT news! 7-18-17
By Glory Ann Kurtz
July 19, 2017
I have had several individuals question whether or not I am continuing with my website www.allaboutcutting.com, as lately my news has been rather scarce and for that I am sorry.
My answer is "Yes," I am continuing with my website; however, lately I have had several distractions which have cut back on my time to write articles. These include the following:
1) I was in the process of selling my horse operation since my husband passed away 9 years ago and I am unable to physically and financially keep this facility going. I recently solved that problem as I have sold my Boyd facility and purchased a much smaller place in Grandview, Texas. I will be moving the end of August but in the meantime I have to pack over 30 years of possessions and memorabilia.
2) Many of you old timers may remember Lee Dale, who created the pedigrees for sale catalogs, including the NCHA sales. Some 20 years ago she had a stroke and has been paralyzed on one side of her body and bedridden in nursing facilities ever since. Over the years all of her relatives have passed away and just before her sister died, I agreed to take on her medical power of attorney. However, lately, Lee has gone downhill and though she has been in a nursing home for years, during the last few weeks she has been in the Wise Regional Hospital in ICU and currently is in Hospice at Senior Care in Decatur. Her mind is still pretty good and she remembers all you old-time cutters and all the stories that go with them!!!
3) On July 4, fireworks were going off in the middle of the highway in front of my place. The one horse I have left, Cougarand, a 31-year-old champagne son of Peppy San Badger out of a daughter of Doc Bar, is used to highway noises and even fireworks, but one must have come into his pasture and probably even hit him, which in the dark sent him into a pipe fence covered with wire where he fell with a leg getting stuck under the sucker rod at the bottom of the wire. I found him there the next morning and got him up; however, he had obviously injured the hind leg that was under the fence and was lame.
Even though I haven't had a need to call a vet for some time, I called three different vets in the area – only one called me back; however, he didn't show up. After doctoring Cougarand myself for a couple of weeks, I remembered my old friend and miracle worker – an equine kinesiologist and chiropractor named Laird Burke. He came and looked at Cougar and couldn't believe what good shape he was in at 31 years of age – but most of all, he was surprised he hadn't died lying under that fence all night.
After working on him for about 20 minutes, he said, Turn him loose and he will be just fine tomorrow."Today is tomorrow – and like Laird promised – Cougarand is just fine, walking normal! In fact, when Laird got done working on him, I took his halter off. He usually runs off when he discovers he is loose; however, this time he followed me until I got out the gate. I guess he thought I had fixed his pain!
Laird has been a friend of Bob and me for many years and has "fixed" many horses that have had accidents or in some way had disturbed their skeletal frame or muscles. We had a baby colt one time who missed the gate when the horses, including his mother, headed out to the pasture. The colt jumped the fence and landed on his back. When he got up, he could walk, but it was like a car with a bent frame – he would walk toward you but he looked like he was actually going another way. We took him to vets and they said there was nothing they could do. About 3 months later, Laird came and stayed with us and he suggested we put the colt in the barn while he worked on him several times over the following week. His magic worked and the colt was soon walking normal and remained that way as long as we owned him. I became a lifetime fan!
Bob and I met Laird years ago when he was working with and helping horses performing at the All American Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio. He eventually came and stayed with us for several months when he suddenly found himself with a lot of business in Texas, and he and his lovely wife Brenda soon moved to North Texas and have been helping horses over the past few years all over the country at major shows and ranches.
So that's are my story and I'm sticking to it. I'm sure that in the short term, I will not be posting as often as I did before for awhile as I have this huge move in front of me. I have lived here for 38 years and imagine the "stuff" I have accumulated. They include Quarter Horse Journals back to the 1970s – that I am trying to give away to someone who would like to study the history of the wonderful Quarter Horse.
The latest news came from an e-mail last night wondering if I would like to expose wrong doing at the highest level in the cutting industry. The person said, "There is a Red Hot current situation about a well-known horse owner shooting a tied-up unruly stallion multiple times with a BB pistol at a horse show in Whitesboro, Texas, Saturday, July 8, with witnesses, one of which took a video." They felt someone needed to pursue this in order to hold the NCHA accountable with their highly advertised zero tolerance "horse-cruelty" policy.
The caller said Russell McCord from the NCHA was called and told what was going on. He told the caller to do whatever it took to stop it and make the person shooting the horse leave, which he did.
I'm looking for someone who was there and watched the incident so I can report more about it. If you know such a person who is willing to talk with me, my phone no. is 940-433-5232 or cell 940-393-1865. I need to know who the person calling is but I do not have to give their name in my article – however, I would like for them to confirm the name of the perpetrator. I'm waiting by my phone(s).Read More
☛ Bobby Pidgeon passes at age 84 – 7-18-17
July 18, 2017
George Robert "Bobby" Pidgeon Sr. of Moscow, TN died at 84 years old on July 14, 2017.
Bobby, a passionate horseman, owned Bar H Ranche in Weatherford, Texas, a leading breeder of cutting horses and winner of the 1991 and 1992 Non Pro Futurity. He was inducted into the 2005 National Cutting Horse Association Non-Pro Rider Hall of Fame. His horse, Dual Pep, became one of the leading industry stallions. He also owned CD Olena, the 1994 NCHA Open Futurity Champion and the 1995 NCHA Horse Of The Year.
Besides being a competitor, Bobby produced multiple Western Cutting competitions in Steamboat Springs, Colo., which were renowned for the excellent quality of horse competitions as well as a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for the competitors.They were very popular as it gave cutters a chance to enjoy the cool weather and beautiful scenery of Colorado.
He lived his life with an independent spirit, a feisty attitude and dry humor. As a husband, father, grandfather and friend, he embodied strength and compassion – plus a sense of fun and adventure. He took life by the horns, and those around him learned to expect the unexpected.
After graduating from Christian Brothers High School and Memphis State University, he went to work for the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Memphis, the third generation in his family to work there. In 1966, He became President and CEO until the company was sold more than 20 years later.
Bobby loved helping people. Both through his business and in his personal life he donated to many charities, always anonymously. He developed a legacy program for the American Cancer Society and was actively involved with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, the Rameses II Exhibit, Church Health Center and many others. In 1989, Dr. Scott Morris, CEO of Church Health, said he was told a homeless man wanted to see him. It was Bobby Pidgeon dressed in old clothes, who handed him a large check and said, "If anyone ever learns I gave you this, I will never give you another dime." Dr. Morris wouldn't tell the story until now.
Bobby was an avid sportsman and passionate outdoorsman, former member of the Five Lakes Club and lifetime member of the Memphis Gun Club. He was a founding board member of the Liberty Bowl, former board member of the Mid-South Fair, a founder of the National Football Stadium Association and avidly supported the Memphis Park Commission. Bobby played a major role in bringing professional soccer to Memphis and owned the Memphis Blues AA Baseball Team a New York Mets farm team, who won the pennant in 1969. He also developed The Shelby Showplace Arena and was the original underwriter for the Merry Christmas Memphis Parade.
Bobby was married to Corinna (Renny) Fortune Pidgeon, for 61 years. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, George Robert Pidgeon, Jr., and three daughters, Corinna Pidgeon Harmon, Louise Ruth Pidgeon, Mary Pidgeon Coffman, grandchildren, Christopher Harmon, Mark Harmon, Corinna Pidgeon, Bobby Pidgeon III, Lily Pidgeon, Tee Pidgeon, Robin Coffman III and Alex Coffman, his sister, Helen Pidgeon Viar, and an eclectic group of friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, James Everett Pidgeon and Ruth Burton Pidgeon, and his daughter, Leslie Pidgeon, and his brother J. Everett Pidgeon Jr., his sisters Ruth Mary Pidgeon Demere, Nell Smythe Pidgeon.
Services were held at St. Louis Catholic Church, 203 S. White Station Road, with a visitation Monday, July 17 from 4 – 5:30 p.m. in the Clunan Center at St. Louis Church, and a funeral Mass Tuesday, July 18 at 1:30 p.m. followed by a private family burial in Calvary Cemetery.
The family asks that any donations in his memory be made to the Church Health Center or a charity of the donor's choice.
