US Postage Paid Salt Lake City, UT Permit #7148 U & I KIWANIAN The Official Newspaper of the Kiwanis Clubs of Utah, Southern Idaho & Eastern Oregon Utah-Idaho District***Kiwanis International Volume 18~~~Issue 1 October / November 2013 ***ANNUAL ROSTER ISSUE - DO NOT TOSS *** IT S A GREAT DAY IN UTAH AND IDAHO! Jim Spinelli, Utah/Idaho District Governor Wow!!! Another great year has been and gone. As the incoming Kiwanis Governor of Utah/Idaho District, I thank you for the opportunity to serve in this position. This time of the Kiwanis year is devoted to planning, leading, organizing and training. I would like to make a few comments and suggestions about what I know from my experiences, that might give us motivation, recall, and ah-hah. Planning: Above and beyond the technical planning we do, I hope you will take the time to assess where your clubs have been and where they can go. I am promoting the old adage thinking outside the box process. The first step is to devote a meeting to describe your club and its box. Get creative! Look at what you are doing in the community. Are your service projects still relevant and useful to the best contribution? Consider cleaning your plate (projects) to free up time to do more with your effective projects, and be able to start a new one. Incoming International Gunter Gasser said that change is good. Leading: Most of the clubs have elected their officers and committee chairs. I propose and hope that this coming Kiwanis year that we have our Division Lieutenant Governors elected by January, and our Club Officers by May. This will give us all an opportunity to have a back-up, some time to learn the position, and be available for training. This will also allow the incumbent to have a partner and share some of the duties and responsibilities which benefits the clubs and our kids. Organizing: My emphasis will be on communication. Talk to each other; visit with each other, share with other clubs. Don t try to make Inter-club visits. Do it! Put the visits into your annual planning. If you are the host, devote the program to the visiting club to share what they are doing. One of my priorities is to overcome the District phenomenon that we don t know each other or our leadership. We have past governors, officers, committee chairs that have a wealth of Kiwanis information and personal/professional experience and education. I call this share your assets. At our Annual Convention in Salt Lake City, our Board of Past Governors pledged to us that they are available for mentoring, problem solving, club and membership development, and training. Going forward, let everyone know who you are, and what you are willing to offer as far as training, leadership, information, and mentoring. We all want to be needed. If you don t know the person, get acquainted!! Training: Our Board of Trustees is re-designing the training program for the District to include more instructors. I have asked them to make training an internal District priority. I have appointed 3 more instructors to augment the current training staff of 3 to 6. We will have a travelling team of instructors that will be teaching on a geographical region basis to make it easier for us to get to training events. We are also open for requests for traditional training and/or special training. Finally, I thank Governor John Brown for all that he has done leading our District this past year, and especially for taking me under his wing to mentor me. I thank Janet Flinders, for the District, for her leadership, guidance and faithful service. I also thank all of the outgoing and past leaders, and the entire membership of the Utah and Idaho District for what you have done for the children of the world.

I attended the first District Convention as the Twin Falls Club -Elect in 2005 and never in my imagination did I think I would be in the district leadership position. I m not sure I even aspired to it. However, when wonderful leaders like John Brown and Jim Spinelli paved the way with a progressive plan for the Utah-Idaho District, the Governor s leadership position seemed like a doable proposition for me. Second, it occurs to me that I have a lot to learn about what is required at this level of Kiwanis leadership. Assuming the district coordinator position of The Eliminate Project has taught me a great deal, but I m assured there is more to learn. I am thankful to be surrounded by great leaders who will patiently mentor me in the next several months. So, I, humbly, accept the challenge. Third, I am excited about the opportunities that Jim Spinelli s leadership will bring next year as well as the term when I serve as Governor. In looking forward, this will be the 100 th year celebration of the beginning of Kiwanis Clubs and the Year of Celebration for the Eliminate Project. I like celebrations and my aim is to plan our celebrations well. Finally, on a personal note, I would like to give you a snapshot of my Kiwanis background. I grew up in a small community in Central Illinois. The first time I heard of a Kiwanis Club was when I was 11 and the Little League team on which I played was the League Champion. Our team was honored at a dinner at a fancy restaurant by the local Kiwanis club and given plaques with our names engraved on it. I kept that Kiwanis plaque for many years. Three decades later, I moved to Twin Falls, Idaho from Southwest Ohio in My realtor was a Kiwanian and invited me to the club luncheon. I returned the next week at his urging (he paid for it) and have been attending ever since. I just celebrated my 25 th year as a Twin Falls club member. I thoroughly enjoy participating in the service projects and see the difference our club makes in the community. Also, having attended three International Conventions has impressed on me the global nature of our organization, and in particular seeing that perspective at the 2011 Geneva Convention. We are more than just our local and district clubs. Our impact is world-wide. To that end, I pledge my whole-hearted effort to serve the Utah-Idaho District of Kiwanis Clubs

3 THANK YOU FOR THE TIME OF MY LIFE John Brown, Immediate Past Utah-Idaho District Governor PAGE 3 It has been quite a year. I have accomplished the majority of my goals. The District Service Leadership Programs are growing, and more clubs are involved. I filled all but one of my District Board of Trustee positions. District membership is still down from last year but is recovering. No new clubs have been built but we are still working on that, as of this letter. I have not been able to visit all of the clubs, but I have been to quite a few. Each Kiwanis club is unique. Each has its own way of doing things, and each has different ideas of what is important. What they all have in common is A Kiwanis Heart: a desire to help others and a willingness of give of their time and fortunes. Please take joy in what you do, for each of you makes a difference. If you give with an open heart, you and the recipient are the better for it. It is not what you do but how you do it. The smallest thing can make the biggest difference. The saying goes that 20 percent of the people do 80 percent of the work. Find a job for everyone. It doesn t matter what the job is; just give everyone a chance to contribute and develop a Kiwanis heart. Governor Jim Spinelli and the new District Board of Trustees are working together to improve the communication among the District and the clubs and to improve the district convention. Hopefully, this will entice more club members to attend. Jim has worked hard as Governor Elect, and I am sure he will carry on that work ethic as Governor. I have said this before, but it bears repeating: this is not my District or Jim s District; it is OUR district. If we are a team there is nothing we can t do; if we each go our own way we will be splintered and accomplish very little. Work together, serve together and have fun together. Please enjoy your efforts in Kiwanis. Never forget that together we can move mountains. I wish to thank Immediate Past Governor Charles Chuck Baker and his District Board of Trustees for having faith in my abilities to lead our district and for appointing me as Governor-Elect. And, by extension, allowing me to serve as Governor of the Utah-Idaho District for the year I want to thank the House of Delegates for voting to pass a resolution endorsing my candidacy for International Trustee. Finally, Thank You fellow Kiwanians for all that you do for your clubs, for our division, for our district, and for Kiwanis International. U and I can change the world one child at a time. Fellow Kiwanians, DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Since the April / May 2007 Issue of the U & I Kiwanian I have had the pleasure of putting together these issues for you. It has also been my pleasure of putting together and maintaining the District website since October Having the opportunity to be at the District Board Meetings, I often hear that the Districts' Officers, Lieutenant Governors, Committee Chairs, and occasionally others express desires that everything go well for the children we serve, the District membership, and the clubs in the District. Challenges are expressed and solutions to them are explored. During this past year, the District has desired to provide better and timelier communication to the membership about upcoming Local, Division, and District events, and any other circumstances that would require quick communication. Also, to have a vehicle that is available to the clubs to use as a way to communicate the things they are doing that others in the District and area could participate in. Several months ago we began exploring possible solutions and we have found one. It is Constant Contact ( They offer several solutions to help businesses, groups, and others to be able keep better in touch and enhance their efforts. The District has decided to use the solution that Constant Contact offers to help improve our communications in the District. To make this an effective tool for everyone in the District, each Club is being asked to provide a list of those members who have addresses and who want to receive communication through it. The lists can be submitted to either Kelly Ryan Rush or myself. When we get them, we will enter them into Constant Contact. The forms and any information about this project will be available from the Lieutenant Governors, District Officers, myself, and will soon be available for download on the District website as well. The sooner the information is returned to us, the sooner this will become a valuable tool for us to use. Thanks, Yours in Service Gordon Lewis

4 PAGE 4 common sense. HELP ME HELP YOU! My name is Kelly Ryan Rush and I am excited for this new year. Part of the excitement is due to the fact that I have little to no idea of what I have gotten myself into. Governor Jim Spinelli has asked if I would assist him as District for his term, and, like many of you, I am incapable of saying no. I guess that is why we are all so involved in our clubs and in Kiwanis as a whole because our hearts are bigger than our Janet Flinders has done an amazing job in this position and there is no way to duplicate her success, so I am not even going to try. I will never be able to assist the district with the grace and level of knowledge she has attained over the years. I can only bring my own attributes to the position and in turn, I promise you I will do my best. I am already receiving much help and support from many of you please keep it coming. A bit about me I have been a Meridian Kiwanis member since 2001 and I am just coming off 3 years as our club president. I look forward to sitting back in the crowd again and letting someone else run our meetings. I enjoy romantic comedies, people, reading, my job and incorporating fun in what I am doing at the moment. My one objective is to do the best I can as your district secretary while enjoying meeting many more of you and learning how I can help you better your individual members, clubs and the district as a whole. I will confess, I am not sure what and how to go about this so I welcome any input you might have to give. I hope to be a strengthening force within our organization and to be an asset to you through the coming year. Yours in Service, Kelly Ryan Rush

6 PAGE 6 ELIMINATE PROJECT IN THE UTAH IDAHO DISTRICT District Zeller Presentations David Ross was honored by the Bannock Club of Pocatello with a Walter Zeller Award at the U-I District Convention. Representing the club and Division 4 Lt. Governor Elect, Mark Gunning honored David with recognition of his service to the club as a founding member 17 years ago. Presenting the award Certificate is Revis Turner, Eliminate District Coordinator. Tooele Club member, Louise Brown, was presented a Walter Zeller Award by her spouse, Governor John Brown. Bill Mullins, Division 2 Lt. Governor, assisted in the recognition of Louise s service to the District as First Lady. Zeller Awards protect 690 mothers and their future children from tetanus. U-I Kwanians have given 28 awards to this date, and two more will be given by the Meridian club at their installation banquet. This brings a total of 20,700 mothers who are protected from tetanus. Utah-Idaho District Convention attendees enjoyed a 30 minute before breakfast walk on Saturday, August 17 in downtown Salt Lake City. Beginning at the Red Lion, members walked to Washington Park and back for a brisk journey. $373 in donations were raised by the walkers for the Eliminate Project. With the 30 minute walk, 207 mothers and their future children were protected. CLUB FUNDRAISING IDEAS FOR THE ELIMINATE PROJECT Twin Falls Kiwanis Club hosted a Magic Spectacular weekend that featured a Friday night dinner and auction and Saturday Magic shows featuring magicians from the local Magic Valley Magic Club. The fundraiser donations were designated to local youth projects and the Eliminate Project. A total of $3000 was raised. Hosting a Baby Shower All babies deserve the best start possible. By hosting a baby shower for new mothers in your community, your club is providing more than just diapers, soft toys and tiny clothing you are showing a mother support, giving her the confidence that, with this help, she can be a good parent. Both baby and mommy benefit from a baby shower, and your club will enjoy it too. Think of it as a baby s pre-birthday party! Start by forming a baby shower planning committee, including your best party planners, some parents and grandparents, and any members who have a connection to mothers and babies in your communities. The committee can use these resources and follow these step-by-step instructions to make a great start for a baby in your community. Dinner & Show When a local Theater production company is preparing a show, ask to host a dinner before the last Dress Rehearsal. Sell tickets for the Dinner and the show is free because it is a dress rehearsal. Pet Mayor Contest Have a contest for Mayor of the City, only the candidates are pets. Have pictures of pets posted and people can cast a ballot for the best pet to be recognized as Mayor. Local businesses sponsor pet candidates and provide polling places on their premises. Voters donate $$ for each vote. (This could be set up on a website, too.) Collaborate with your local Humane Society or Animal Shelter. Check this out!

Kiwanis clubs attract fascinating speakers to their regular meetings. For example, Jimmy Weldon, the ventriloquist who put words in the beak of Hanna-Barbera s Yakky Doodle, inspired audiences at the Fontana and Santa Clarita, California, Kiwanis clubs meetings with a message about the American flag. And former NASA astronaut Jack Lousma launched the Colonial Plymouth, Michigan, Kiwanis Club into orbit with tales from his missions aboard Skylab and the space shuttle Columbia. If you re looking for good programs, here s a list of popular presentations compiled by Kiwanis Facebook users: Colville, Washington, high school technology students described alternative energy programs and robots. What fascinating subjects are local students studying? Middletown, New York, Kiwanians enjoyed an appearance by a healthy six-year-old March of Dimes ambassador. You ll find other Kiwanis International partners at A survivor of suicide told the West Lorne, Ontario, club how she s supporting families struggling with this complex issue. A mental health agency may be able to recommend advocates for a number of causes. A Washington, Virginia, Kiwanian described a professor s speech about childhood obesity as very informative. Ask a doctor or other expert to address a problem that s affecting children in your community. A Key Leader participant told her sponsoring Greenwood, South Carolina, Kiwanis Club about her experiences. If your club has not yet sponsored a Key Leader teen, borrow one from a nearby club.

Loren was born at home in the Pleasant Ridge Community of Caldwell Idaho on February 27, 1924, the youngest child of Nathaniel Crew Marmon and Eunice Ann Darling Matteson Marmon.

22 PAGE 22 LOREN EMERSON MARMON (Continued) His first eight grades of school were spent at Pleasant Ridge School. He went on to Caldwell High School, where he graduated in Loren enlisted as an Infantryman in the U.S. Army in June 1944 and served in Rhineland, Central Europe, earning numerous medals including a Bronze Star. His service was completed in June In May 1947, he reenlisted in the Idaho Army National Guard and was attached to the 25th Army Band unit in Caldwell, serving as its Administrator under the leadership of CWO Bill Rankin and CWO Don Roblyer. The family was stationed in Colorado and New Jersey during the Korean conflict. He was a member of the Idaho National Guard Rifle Team, competing in training and matches across the country, and was qualified as a trainer in Rifle Marksmanship. He retired from the U.S. Army in February 1984 after nearly forty years of service with the rank of Sergeant First Class (E-7). After his return from the European campaign of World War II, he enrolled at the College of Idaho in Caldwell, where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology in While a student at the C of I, Loren took a screen printing class from Arthur Hart - a skill he would later pursue professionally. During Chemistry lab at the College of Idaho, he met Shirley Elaine Vocu of Twin Falls, Idaho, whom he married on September 12, Over the next eleven years, they added four children to their family: Steven Loren (1949), Kathryn (Kathie) Irene (1952), Kent Alan (1956) and Lori (Lorie) Ilene (1959). Loren and Shirley would have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on September 12th of this year, and have lived in the same home near the College of Idaho for nearly fifty of those years. In a note to the family from their friend, Sylvia Hunt, she wrote, "In this time of emotion, we grieve for the loss of Loren - the patriarch, the husband, father, grandfather, uncle, Kiwanian, Fine Arts supporter, veteran, carpenter, printer, businessman, and gentle person who will be gone from us in the way we have known and loved him." Loren was all of those things and so much more. There is so much more to Loren's story in the dash of time between 1924 and 2013 than we can print here. Service to others was a major part of his life. Highlights of Loren's service includes serving as an Elder of Boone Memorial Presbyterian Church; College of Idaho Alumni ; Scoutmaster and Ore-Ida Council Executive Board member; active member and committee chairman of the Caldwell Chamber of Commerce; of the Kiwanis Club of Caldwell, Lieutenant Governor, and eight years, as District of the Utah-Idaho District of Kiwanis International. Professionally, Loren worked in the insurance industry as an agent for Franklin Mutual Life and Northwestern Mutual Life while serving as Administrator of the Idaho National Guard's 25th Army Band. He began screen printing "true" decals in 1953 in the basement of his home, and demand for his work quickly grew. Soon, it replaced his other endeavors, and his business, Treasure Craft Decals, grew to one of the largest businesses of its kind in Idaho. For many years, folks throughout the Treasure Valley danced to the music of the Don Roby Group, made up of Loren, Dave Sevy, Jack Green, Don Blecha and Don Roblyer. A talented musician, Loren played the guitar, banjo and mandolin. Loren is survived by his wife, Shirley; his children Kathie (Laird) Thornton of Renton, Washington; Kent (Sylvia) of Caldwell; and Lorie (Rick) Scherer of Caldwell; 15 grandchildren and four step-grandchildren; 25 greatgrandchildren and four step great-grandchildren; three great-great grandchildren and four step great-great grandchildren; his sister-in-law, Barbara "Bobbie" (Dick) Beery; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Steve; his former daughter-inlaw, Roberta (Steve) Marmon; his brother and spouse, Ellis (Florence); his sister and spouse, Opal (Ernie) Leslie; his half-brothers and their spouses Jesse (Verna Pat) and Robert (Beatrice) Marmon, Delbert (Marguerite) Matteson; his half-sister and spouse Florence Matteson (Carl) Carlson; half-sisters Laura, Lula and Irene; his in-laws, Hiram J. and Mabel Egeland Vocu; and his sister-in-law, Doris Bowdoin. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Loren's name to Boone Memorial Presbyterian Church (checks made payable to "PC Reformed"), 406 S 14th Ave, Caldwell, ID 83605; the Kiwanis International Foundation, 3636 Woodview Trace, Indianapolis, IN 46268; or to a favorite charity.

When he was 15, he was invited to attend the Indiana State 4-H Leader s Camp. There he met 13-year-old Dorothy Bridge. They were married eight years later in the Pike Creek (Indiana) Church of the Brethren, a marriage that lasted 66 years. In the fall of 1940, he entered the Purdue University College of Agriculture. At Purdue, he was an ROTC Cadet Colonel and belonged to the CERES, Alpha Zeta and Kappa Delta Pi honor societies. After a war interruption, he returned to Purdue and resumed his studies, graduating in 1947 with degrees in chemistry and agricultural education. As a member of Purdue ROTC, his Army career started when the United States entered World War II. He spent a total of 37 years in the Army, five years during World War II, three years during the Korean Conflict and the remainder in the active Army Reserve. He graduated from the Army s OCS flight training school, artillery school, adjutant general school, and Command and General Staff College. Serving in the Pacific Theater in World War II, he was among the first troops sent into Japan for the occupation. While there, he made many flights into Hiroshima and Nagasaki to allow visiting military and political personnel to seethe damage done by the atomic bombs dropped over those cities. After graduating from Purdue, Elmer entered a management training program with Swift and Company in Marion, Ind. While there, he rose to manager of the dairy and poultry division plant. In 1951, he was suddenly called back into service and was sent to Germany to spend three years flying border patrol between East and West Germany. He finished his Army career by teaching the five-year C&GS course to officers from southern Idaho. He retired from the Army with the rank of lt. colonel. Elmer was transferred to Twin Falls in 1962 to manage the Twin Falls plant. While there, he persuaded corporate headquarters to build a new plant.

During his years at Swift, he belonged to the Idaho Dairy Processors Association and served a year as its president. After retiring from Swift and Company in 1982, he enjoyed his many years of retirement. He rarely missed any sports event, drama production or musical event at CSI. He followed the CSI Men s Basketball team eight times to the NJCAA tournament in Kansas. He enjoyed fishing and often made his own lures. His hunting trips were really just camping trips! He liked to garden, play cards and work jigsaw puzzles. Throughout his life, Elmer was involved in volunteer activities. He was an active member of the Kiwanis Club for more than 45 years and was heavily involved in its Paint Magic and recycling projects. He served on the Twin Falls Salvation Army Advisory Board for more than 30 years, earning him a lifetime membership. (He received the Salvation Army s Others award in 1994 for his years of service.) He was a charter member of the Salvation Army-Idaho Power Project Share, and served on its board for many years. Others of his volunteer activities included a two-term membership on the Twin Falls Airport Board, Republican Precinct committeeman, two-campaign organizer of the local Republican headquarters, three-time organizer of the Western Days Parade and two-year president of the CSI Boosters Club. He helped his wife with their church youth group for nearly 10 years and led a 4-H club while in Indiana. And he was just one pint shy of two gallons of blood donated to the local Red Cross! For these and other activities, he received the Twin Falls Chamber of Commerce Lifetime Achievement Award in For much of his life, Elmer was bothered by health problems, starting with pneumonia as an infant. He survived two cancers and two open heart surgeries. But he had a strong recovery instinct and was faithful about walking daily for his health (usually cleaning the streets of trash and picking up cans as he went.) Elmer was a happy person and a good father, husband and employer. He simply liked to meet and help people and felt he gained more than he gave. He is survived by his wife. Dorothy: two sons, Stephen and Kevin; daughter-inlaw, Liliane; grandson, Dylan; and sister-in-law, Bessie. He was preceded in death by two sisters, Viola and Elizabeth; and two brothers, Robert and Carl. PAGE 23
