Mike was born on June 12, 1945 in Canton, Ohio to Willis Barstow and Delcia Johnstone Barstow. In 1955 the Barstow family moved to Palisade, Colo- rado where father worked in an underground coal mine and owned the Blue Flame Coal Mine. The Blue Flame Mine supplied coal to local families in which Mike, during his high school years, drove a one ton pickup delivering coal. He also spent several summers working at the Lindauer Ranch putting up hay in exchange for room and board.

After high school he enrolled in Colorado State Col- lege in Greeley, Colorado for a year before enlisting in the Army. His basic training was in Polk, Louisiana and then received advanced training as a chemical staff spe- cialist at Fort McClellan in Alabama. Mike was assigned to the Panama Canal Zone tropic test center to study the effects of the tropic environment on different compo- nents and on nerve agents. (Vietnam was active engage- ment at this time). Mike received additional training as a civilian explosive specialist handling rocket tests, gre- nades and explosives.

Mike commented that the most important aspect of this work was trying to figure out why the objects did not explode.

Mike partnered with his wife, Marsha and opened the Gallery in Lamoille. He refurbished antiques, built custom furniture, and very recently restored a 1930 Model A Fordor Briggs.

The U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency estimates 21,000 Amer- icans die each year from radon-caused lung cancer, killing more people than secondhand smoke, drunk driving and house fires. In Nevada, one in four homes tested show radon concentrations at or above the EPA action level. In Elko County, the potential is 38 percent. According to experts, living in a home with radon concentrations at the action level poses a risk of developing lung cancer similar to the risk posed by smoking about half a pack of cigarettes a day.

A simple three-day test can determine if a house has a radon problem, and winter is an ideal time to test a home for radon. If radon problems are found, they can be fixed. Nevadans can also order free test kits at 2019freekit.eventbrite. com, or by submitting a ra- don test kit request bit.ly/NRAM19cpn, then mailing the confirmation email to the Radon Edu- cation adminis- tration office, 4955 Energy Way, Reno, NV 89502. Or- dered test kits will require a $4 check or money order for shipping, written to Board of Regents.
