<br />Flood sidelights
<br />
<br />Helping others
<br />
<br />Stories of ways In which people
<br />helped each other after the flood
<br />80metJrnes surface In roundabout
<br />ways.
<br />The account of how Ors. Michael
<br />and D%1ntra Greenwald of Joliet, Ill.,
<br />were assured that their two 80rul
<br />were sale tirst appeared In the Joliet
<br />Herald-News. The Rev. Harold
<br />Westlund, who was pastor of the
<br />G1Iurch of the Nazarene here for
<br />seven years, sent the article to the
<br />Coloradoan.
<br />
<br />This Is what happened:
<br />The Greenwalds. who both
<br />practice medicine In Joliet, were
<br />llke many others In distant parts of
<br />the country deeply concerned when
<br />they learned of the flooding, because
<br />their sons were at a summer camp
<br />near Estes Park.
<br />
<br />Since even people who lived near
<br />the flooded areas were uncerta1n
<br />exactly what places had been af.
<br />fected, those who live in other parts
<br />of the COWltry and had relatives 1n
<br />Colorado were even more uncertain.
<br />Many, like the Greenwald.!!, lacked
<br />familiarity with the region. The
<br />doctors tried to call the camp but
<br />were unable to get through. .
<br />One of the doctors' medical clerks
<br />Is a member ot the Joliet Nazarene
<br />church and knew that Westlund
<br />formerly had lived In Fort Collins.
<br />The clerk took the problem to the
<br />pastor.
<br />Westlund has remained in contact
<br />wJth the Roy Halls of Fort Coll1ns, so
<br />he called them.
<br />After consulting a map, the Halls
<br />"felt quite sure the boys were safe,"
<br />because the camp is near Estes
<br />Park and above the flooded
<br />area-but thought 11 best to see for
<br />themselves.
<br />Getting to the camp meant going
<br />around "the back way," reaching
<br />Estes Park from the south and east,
<br />but they did get there eventually. At
<br />the camp, which ls about a mile and
<br />a half from the town, they found that
<br />It had been raining, and telephone
<br />communications were cut off, but
<br />otherwise all was well.
<br />Returning to Fort Collins, they
<br />were able to Convey to the Green.
<br />walds that their sons were safe.
<br />
<br />Neal and Eric, 9 and 10, have
<br />returned to Joliet.
<br />SaId Hall when contacted by the
<br />Coloradoan, "It's no more than what
<br />I hope somebody would do for me U I
<br />was the one who dIdn.t know what
<br />was happening. I'm sure lots of
<br />people helped out to get word to
<br />people when this thing came up. ,.
<br />
<br />Concern shown
<br />
<br />Here's a story that exemplutes the
<br />kind of concern people were showing
<br />one another after the flood:
<br />(Eleanor Robb refX)rted th!II one)
<br />"Alter the ordeal In the canyon. a
<br />woman from Kansas who had been
<br />taken out by helicopter was
<br />recuperating at Loveland High
<br />School. "I'm so thirsty," she
<br />remarked to a woman sitting near
<br />her.
<br />WIth that, a boy In a leg brace got
<br />up, limped over to retrieve a cup of
<br />water, and brought it back to
<br />present It to the woman.
<br />One woman \\'as heard to say, "We
<br />went up the canyon FrIday to a
<br />$M,OOlproperty. We came backwtth
<br />a OashIlght."
<br />
<br />Food stamps
<br />
<br />More than 180 familIes received
<br />tree food stamps at the l.cveland
<br />and Estes Park food stamp ott1ces
<br />as a result of a federal waiver Issued
<br />through the Colorado Department of
<br />Socla1 Services to aid victlms of the
<br />Big Thompson flood.
<br />Ronald Mikesell, ~tor of food
<br />assIstance programs for the
<br />Colorado Department of Soclal
<br />Services said the value of the stamps
<br />was $8,m, all from federal sou.ree8.
<br />Normally persons buy food stamps
<br />based upon verlt1ed Income and
<br />reaources. The waiver eUm1nated
<br />the verification process to help
<br />di.sastervtctlms from August 6-12.
<br />Mikesell said these households
<br />would be subject to quality control
<br />review In the routine InvesUgations
<br />conducted by the department.
<br />probably In the November or
<br />December reviews.
