based in Grand Junction, Colorado.

located in Grand Junction,

Meeker,
Rangely, Craig, Hayden and Oak
Creek. As of March 31, the bank had
total assets of $343 million, gross
loans of $132 million and total
deposits of $305 million.
The boards of Glacier and FNBR
Holding Corporation (FNBR’s holding
company)
unanimously
approved the transaction, which is
subject to regulatory approval and
other customary conditions of closing. The transaction provides for the
payment to FNBR Holding
Corporation shareholders of $16.3
million in cash and 555,733 shares of
Glacier common stock.
Based on the closing price of
$25.06 for Glacier shares on May 8,
the transaction would result in an a
aggregate value of $30.3 million. As
of March 31, FNBR Holding Corp.
had consolidated tangible equity of
$32.7 million. Upon closing of the
transaction, which is anticipated to
take place in the third quarter, FNBR
will be merged into Glacier Bank
and become part of the Bank of the
San Juans banking division.
“We are excited to be adding
First National Bank of the Rockies to
the Glacier family of banks,” stated
Mick Blodnick, Glacier’s president
and chief executive officer. “This
combination allows us to continue to
expand in Colorado’s Western Slope,
a very attractive market we have targeted for continued expansion.
FNBR brings to us a sizable community bank with a long history of serving northwestern Colorado.
“The region offers attractive
long-term growth prospects with a
solid economic base of energy, agriculture, tourism, mining and healthcare.” Blodnick added, “FNBR
serves the region well, with respect-

International Thespian Society
Troupe 1284 will present the
Broadway Musical “FAME” in the
Meeker High School auditorium
Friday and Saturday evenings at 7
p.m. after opening their run with the
first production on Wednesday
night.
“FAME” is based on the popular
1970s television and motion picture
series about a New York City high
school for the performing arts. It
follows the lives and career aspirations of the teen-aged students who
follow various career tracks in
music, dance, acting and similar
pursuits.
The challenges of a performing
arts career include strong competitions for leading roles and key positions in those career pursuits, the
heartbreak of losing a coveted role
or starring position and the joy and
exultation of landing a key role.
The performance highlights the
humor of the faculty members and
students and the colorful personalities and emotions of the talented
students who aspire to very competitive performing arts professions.
FAME tells the story of several
students including fame-obsessed
Carmen (played by Mariah Jensen),
ambitious actress Serena (McKenna
Kummer), wisecracking comedian
Joe (Bruno Juarez), quiet saintly
violinist Schlomo (J.C. Henderson)
and “talented but dyslexic” dancer

cast members.
Also part of the cast are Mabel

A roustabout crew hired by WPX Energy finished most of the 4-H pen rebuild project in Rangely in
just over a week. On Wednesday, the building frame was in place. By Sunday afternoon, the building was complete, replacing the old pen, which was severely damaged in a fire on May 5.
Repairs nearly completed
after 4-H pen electrical fire
By HEATHER ZADRA
RANGELY I In just over a
week, workers have nearly completed rebuilding the 4-H pen that
burned in an electrical fire May 5,
killing several 4-H project pigs and
severely damaging the structure.
A roustabout crew hired by
WPX Energy has replaced wood
framing, added a tin roof and siding,
hung gutters, placed wire and
boards between pens and tilled new
sand into the pens, 4-H coordinator
Jayda Lewis said this week.
She hopes the second phase of
construction, an addition to the
pen’s east end, will begin soon, with
electrical work scheduled for
August, after animals have gone to
the county fair. Who will add to the
building and wire the electricity has
not been determined.
Some pigs have already settled
into their new homes with others
scheduled to arrive soon.
“I’m speechless at how fast it
came together,” Lewis said of the
construction work, which she initially estimated would take a month
or more to complete. “I didn’t
expect it (to be finished) until the
end of June, beginning of July.
Families are excited; they’re telling
me how much they appreciate
everyone’s help.”
Kris Denny, whose 14-year-old
daughter, Klaire, lost her pig in the
fire, can speak to that firsthand.
“I just couldn’t believe it; so
many people have supported the
group,” Denny said. “The response
has been so awesome for these kids.
It was a tragedy, but it … really
showed me, ‘Wow, people are just
great.’”
Dozens of individual and business donors have contributed to the
rebuilding effort, from donating
funds for new pigs and supplies to
sending gift cards to help with
expenses.
Lewis said approximately half
of the children’s project supplies are
now covered, with additional funding still needed for those and construction material costs.
The group continues to accept
donations at the Rangely 4-H
Council Office in the Rio Blanco
County Annex Building, at First
National Bank of the Rockies or at
donation jars located in local businesses. For more information, contact Lewis at 970-878-9499.
ed management, strong customer
relationships and an excellent core
deposit base.”
Blodnick also noted that the
transaction will be immediately
accretive to Glacier’s earnings per
share and tangible book value per
share.
Pete Waller, chairman, president
and CEO of FNBR, commented,
“We are excited to join the Glacier
family of banks. FNBR’s 110-year
legacy in western Colorado has
molded strong ties with our customers and the communities in
which we serve.
“Consumers
in
western
Colorado will benefit from the
expanded products, services, and
lending capabilities that our affiliation with Glacier will bring,” he
said. “Our management and staff
look forward to the new growth
opportunities that are sure to result
from the combination.”
Glacier Bancorp, Inc. is a
regional bank holding company providing commercial banking services
in 72 communities in Montana,

Less than two weeks ago,
the home on this Meeker
town lot at 1189 Park St.
had been set up for demolition as “substantially
radioactive” uranium ore
was found in a coffee can
just inside the front door
and in an isolated area of
the backyard (back right in
photo). With the involvement of the Fred Johnson
family, the Meeker Police
Department, the Rio Blanco
County Sheriff’s Office, the
Colorado State Police, the
Rio Blanco County
Environmental Services
Department and the
Environmental Protection
Agency, the home has been
demolished, all uranium ore
and tainted property and
soil have been removed,
and the property has been
declared “safe” and free of
any contamination.
Meeker Workforce Center plays a major
role in state youth employment program
SEAN MCMAHON
RBC I Each year, Colorado’s
longest running and most successful
youth employment program helps
thousands of young people prepare for
the uncharted territory of a first summer job. Since 1981, the Governor’s
Summer Job Hunt program has connected high school and college students with Colorado employers willing to give them a chance to learn, put
skills to use and see firsthand how a
business operates.
“The program has a proven track
record,” says Department of Labor
and Employment Executive Director
Ellen Golombek. “The Governor’s
Summer Job Hunt has assisted more
than half a million teens in the last
three decades and this summer, professionals at our Meeker Workforce
Center are ready to work with another
generation of young job seekers.”
As much as it is an employment
program, with a wealth of job openings geared toward youth, the
Governor’s Summer Job Hunt is also
a training program. Meeker
Workforce Center staff know that getting a summer job takes initiative but
getting the job is only half the story.
There are a lot of things a young
person needs to learn in order to be
successful, and the Meeker Workforce
Center provides assistance in résumé
writing, interviewing skills and job
search strategies to help young people
gain a competitive edge in their job
hunt. The staff’s commitment is to
teach the youngest job seekers how to
be successful, how to establish a solid
work ethic and how to build the
groundwork to their future careers.
Community-minded businesses
are the real lifeblood of the program.
“The best employers understand
that giving a young person a summer
job is an investment in tomorrow’s
workforce,” Golombek said. “It’s one
thing to tell young people about the
value of knowing how to spell or do
simple math, but it’s something else
for them to recognize how important it
is to get it right when they’re preparing a letter for work or having to make
change. It makes the classroom learning real.”
Employers can’t teach their summer job workers everything, of
course, but opening the door to the
world of work can be a valuable companion piece to what they’ve learned
in school. It adds a unique element to
the mix not usually found in a classroom. A summer job helps a young
person prepare for the challenges they
will face in the years ahead. It is an
experience that gives young people a
chance to apply classroom and textbook learning to real-world situations.
For young people who are comfortable in marketing themselves to
employers or want to do a self-directed job search, the Meeker Workforce
Centers offer an online job bank called
Connecting Colorado (www.connectingcolorado.com). Registration at the
website is quick and easy to use, and
Connecting Colorado has a listing of
job opportunities for all job seekers
including those who are making their
first foray into the job market.
For teens who would like some
help in their job search and for
employers who would like more information about the Governor’s Summer
Job Hunt, staff at the Meeker
Workforce Center are ready to assist.
The Meeker Workforce Center is at
345 Market St. and can be reached at
878-4211.

NRCS reminds ranchers and
farmers of new wetlands rules
RBC I Tiffany Jehorek, the district conservationist for the Natural
Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) in Meeker reminds area
ranchers and farmers that the new
Farm Bill has established changes
relative to wetlands in Rio Blanco
County.
Feb. 7 was the new wetland conversion trigger date. Wetlands converted prior to that date are not subject to the wetland compliance provisions of the Food Security Act of
1985 (the Act) for PS eligibility.
(This does not apply to benefits for
existing covered programs, or if they
become new participants in any other
programs.)
Producers new to compliance due
to crop insurance recoupling who
need technical assistance are to
receive priority for technical assistance.
HEL: Producers new to compliance have five years to develop and
implement a plan, and two years to
implement a conservation system if
they are currently out of compliance.
Wetlands: Producers who convert
a wetland after Feb. 7 have two years
to mitigate a converted wetland if
they are subject to the Act for the first
time.
For PS purposes, a producer can
choose to make a “payment in lieu”
contribution for conversions of less
than five acres, equal to 150 percent
of the cost of mitigating the converted wetland, verses restoring the converted wetland.
Producers who have filed a
request for determination cannot be
found ineligible for the PS while
waiting for the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) to
evaluate their compliance determination or certification.
Annual compliance certification
for crop insurance purposes will be
coordinated between the Farm
Service Agency, NRCS and the Risk
Management Agency to avoid the
duplication of paperwork and allow
use of the existing compliance tracking systems.
For those currently in compliance
with the conservation compliance
provisions, there should be no perceptible change in the certifications
required to receive the PS.
In other developments, no later
than Nov. 1 of each year, the NRCS
will be required to submit a report to
Congress detailing national HEL and
wetland determination progress and
backlog.
The USDA is mandated to operate or work with third parties to operate a wetland mitigation banking program. The USDA is no longer
required to be the easement holder
for mitigation banks.
History Colorado set to be
in Meeker on May 28
MEEKER I History Colorado will be in Meeker on Wednesday
at Mountain Valley Bank for a roundtable presentation on the state
historical fund and to recognize the International Order of Odd
Fellows (IOOF) hall’s (now Mountain Valley Bank) recognition on the
National Register of Historic Places.
Downtown Meeker has also been nominated for consideration as
a national historic district after an extensive review by History
Colorado in June 2013. This nomination will also be discussed at
this meeting.
Organizers are asking town residents to attend this presentation,
which could positively impact the future of the downtown area.
The History Colorado State Historical Fund supports community
heritage through tangible and highly visible historic preservation projects for direct and demonstrable public benefit. Since its inception,
the State Historical Fund has awarded 4,064 grants totaling more
than $262 million to projects in all 64 counties.

Nathan J. Bradfield, the son of Marnell and Wade
Bradfield of Meeker, will be graduated from the United
States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs on May
28 as a candidate for the degree of bachelor of science
in systems engineering management and a commission
of second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. Bradfield was

4A OPINION
FROM MY WINDOW...
Congratulations to graduates and Meeker DI competitors
ver the next two weeks,
Meeker and Rangely high
schools will also be turning
out Class of 2014 graduates, and this
is another moment in a teen’s life that
all friends, families and neighbors
should be proud of them and for
them.
High school now is not a walk in
the park — if it ever was.
There are new teaching methods,
new technologies and new challenges
that we older students never had to
face. Not to mention the social pressures.
Congratulations, grads. You
deserve the accolades.
Once again, however, your work
is not done.
Now it is your decision —
whether you continue on into higher
education, join the military or join the
working stiffs out here — to take
charge of your own life.
Only you know what is best for
you and which trail you wish to follow.
A college education can’t be beat,
but it isn’t the answer for everyone.
The average income skyrockets
for those who get an associate’s (two
year) degree over a high school or
GED alone and then increases again
sharply for each step after the associate’s degree — a bachelor’s (four
year) degree, a master’s degree and a
doctorate.
Last week, a national survey stated that the average lifetime income
for a person with a doctorate is
approximately $900,000 higher than
a person with a high school degree or
GED.
What the student needs to decide
is what they really want to do after
high school. It sounds easy, but it
isn’t. What they need to decide is
what long trail to follow toward
retirement.
If they are going to remain in the
family business, a college degree
may not be necessary. But there are
still benefits to be gained from going
to college to learn about marketing or
some related agriculture education for
those who plan to be farmers or
ranchers.
When you graduates decide what

NEIGHBORS
it is you want to do, the next step is
to find out what is required to get
there.
If you want to be a marine biologist, an English teacher, a priest or
preacher or an engineer, then college
will be a necessity. If you want to be
a college administrator or move up
the ladder in the corporate world, an
advanced degree like a Master of
Business Administration (MBA) or
doctorate will be a great move.
There are also classes that will
help a student who wants to become
a secretary, a bookkeeper, a dental
hygienist (which can pay really well),
a maintenance person or an auto
repair specialist. Even an auto
mechanic is going to need certifications, which can be attained at some
community colleges in the country.
Are degrees needed for all of
these things? No. Just some classes to
teach you the advanced basics of
whatever job you want — and classes
that will often put you out there
ahead of other job candidates.
In auto mechanics, you can get all
12 auto ASE repair certifications and
combine those with an associate’s
degree, depending on the college.
I would say that to obtain a college degree has never been easier.
There are local classes through a
community college nearby.
There are online classes in which
a student almost anywhere can graduate from any major institution of
higher learning without ever leaving
the confines of their home computer
rooms.
And there are the college campuses for students who live close by
or for students who wish to purse the
on-campus college life.
No one situation is a fit-all mold.
It will take some research, but if
you can match up with the right technical college, in-state university,
online university or set sail across the
country to another college or university, your education will fit you like a
glove and last you for the rest of your
lifetime.
While I do believe that obtaining
a college degree has never been easier, I must also add that it has never
been more expensive. This has
always been a problem.
A major part of the eduction puzzle is the cost of college.
Obviously, it should be cheapest
at a trade or community college like
Colorado Northwestern Community
College, more expensive at a state
university, ranging in size from the
small universities like Colorado Mesa
University, followed by the
major universities
like the University
of Colorado in
Boulder or
Colorado State
University in Fort
Collins. Then, for
those who can
afford it, there are the schools like
Harvard, Princeton, Dartmouth,
Stanford, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT) and UCLA.
The cost can run from a bargain
to a blowout.
But there are also scholarships,
federal student loans and Pell grants
that help ease the pain and the cost.
But not enough can be said about
the importance of doing what makes
you happy and what pays the bills.
Regardless of which direction
you go, make certain that it is something you enjoy and can look forward
to working at for possibly up to 40 or
50 years.
Nothing can be worse than being
down the road 10 or 20 years and
deciding that what you are doing is
not fun, not satisfying and driving
you crazy (or to drink).
Please take the time to decide
your future. You are the one who is
going to have to live that life.
Baron Pierre de Cubertin of
France, the founder of the modern
Olympic games and the International
Olympic Committee, established the
motto of the games to be: Citius,
Altius, Fortius, which means faster,
higher, stronger.
But more important was the
Olympic Creed he coined: “The most
important thing is not to win, but to
have taken part, just as the most
important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential
thing is not to have conquered but to
have fought well.”
Well stated.
Such it is with three Destination
Imagination teams from Meeker
heading to the global competition this
week competing most likely against
hundreds (if not thousands) of teams
from more than 100 nations.
aging visitors to “know before you
go” as the first line of defense. Many
areas on forests throughout the White
River National Forest are still inaccessible due to late-season snow and rain.
Know the weather forecast, road conditions, fire restrictions and what to
expect before arriving at a destination.
Below are some potential hazards
for which to be aware this season:
The mountain pine beetle and
spruce beetle continue to kill pine and
spruce trees, leaving behind dead,
dying and potentially dangerous tree
stands. The U.S. Forest Service is continuing to remove these trees from
developed recreation sites, but there
are many non-developed or minimally
developed areas where they are still
standing. Dead trees can fall at any
time, so don’t camp or park near them,
and keep away during strong winds.
Wildfires can start at any time. A
careless cigarette or unattended campfire can start a wildfire. As conditions
change, some national forests may be
under fire restrictions. Check with
local U.S. Forest Service offices
before embarking on a trip to the forest.
Heavy snowpack along the
Continental Divide in Colorado has
extended winter recreation, but
increased avalanche danger. Check
snow and avalanche conditions before
venturing into the back country.
Due to high run off, late-season
snow and wet conditions, some recreation areas or roads may remain
closed later than usual. Saturated soils
also have the potential to cause landslides and road slumping. Be prepared
to turn around when slides have
crossed roads or roads have eroded
away.
Flash floods can occur at any time,
even if you don’t see any rain. Check
the forecast before you head out and
be extra cautious when camping near
stream bottoms or low-lying areas.
Ten helpful safety tips to remember:
1. Be aware of your surroundings.
Avoid dense patches of dead beetlekilled trees; they can fall anywhere,
anytime and without warning.
2. Stay out of the forests when
there are high winds. Strong winds
blow down trees. If you’re already in
the forest, find a clearing that’s out of
reach of any trees that could fall.
Check the forecast before you head
out.
3. Place your tent and park your
vehicle in areas that can’t be hit by a
falling tree.
4. Make camp before dark, and
never hike or camp alone without
telling someone your itinerary.
5. Bring an ax or chainsaw with
you in case you become trapped along
a road by a fallen tree. Know alternative routes out in case of landslide or
road failure.
6. Don’t completely rely on your

RBC I With Memorial Day this
coming weekend, thousands of travelers are getting ready to kick off the
summer outdoor recreation season.
As people are getting tents and
gear ready, the U.S. Forest Service
encourages the public to be safe when
enjoying their national forests.
“The White River National Forest
offers more than 2,500 miles of trails,
50 campgrounds, picnic areas, boat
ramps and other developed recreation
sites, and more than 12 million people
visit this forest every year,” said Scott
Fitzwilliams, forest supervisor for the
White River National Forest.
Most forest visitors enjoy the
forests without incident, but there are
always potential dangers involved
with outdoor recreation. Part of enjoying the outdoors is understanding
those hazards and knowing what to do
to stay safe.

OPINION 5A
Bob Amick, Sandy Bradfield come from long-term pioneer clan
— Serving as the Rio Blanco County Pioneer’s Association co-presidents —
By HALLIE BLUNT
MEEKER I In 1879, the White
River Utes rebelled against tyrannical
Indian agent Nathan Meeker in the
last major Native American uprising
at the Ute Agency in Powell Park,
and the concurrent Battle of Milk
Creek with U.S. Army troops.
The Utes were evicted from
Western Colorado in 1881 by an act
of Congress.
As the area became an official
county, pioneers came to the White
River Valley in search of new land in
the wilderness. They were drawn by
some beckoning finger of hope, by
some belief in an ideal, by some
vision of a better kind of life. A
bridge was finally built across the
White River near what was White
River City.
There are many stories of the
families that traveled to this area,
where the Ute Indians dwelt for so
many years. These pioneer families
had to be tough, perseverant, have
ingenuity and, of course, have the
will to survive.
Such was the case of the family
of Bob Amick and his sister, Sandy
Bradfield. The two are fourth-generation pioneers and co-presidents of the
Rio Blanco County Pioneers
Association’s 102nd annual Old
Timer’s reunion.
Bob and Sandy’s great-aunt,
Mary Delaney Oldland, wrote about
the family’s history in early 1952 in a
story published in the Colorado
Magazine titled “Sixty-seven years in
the White River Valley.”
It is remarkable to imagine the
life of these courageous people
whose story began in 1884, when
James Durkin, Mary’s uncle, and
James McAndrews rode into the
White River valley from Leadville
and Alma.
Durkin staked a claim below the
junction of the Piceance Creek and
the White River, and McAndrews
staked his claim in the area later
named McAndrews Gulch and
Crooked Wash Gulch. The two men
returned to Alma with rave reviews
of the beautiful White River Valley
and persuaded Mary’s father, John
Delaney, with his wife Sarah and
their five children to move to the
ranch.
John purchased 25 cattle, some
horses, two wagons and went west.
The family traveled for days, riding

their horses and keeping the cattle

eight miles per day in the latter part
of the trip due to sore feet and lazy
cattle.

trails high above growing communities. They arrived in Glenwood
Springs, and, as fate would have it,

MEEKER I It was incorrectly edited in the May 15 edition of the

Elizabeth Delaney (Sandy and Bob’s
mother and Mary’s niece).
From Glenwood Springs, the
family went on to Piceance Creek
and finally arrived at the ranch they
would call home.
The family members were always
generous and accommodating to people passing by. In fact, one visitor
was the Ute Chief Colorow. On his
first visit, he was bloody to his
elbows and held up one finger meaning one dollar. He had a deer he had
killed and Mary’s mother, Sarah, was
glad to pay the dollar for the meat.
Some Indian women also brought
a nanny goat and two kid goats as
well as a white lamb as gifts. They
developed a great friendship and
respect for one another. In time, John
Delaney acquired a ranch of his own,
five miles west of the Durkin
Homestead.
The winter of 1885 was remembered by many for its terrible cold
and huge amounts of snow. It is
believed that half the cattle in the valley died.
In 1887, settlers were warned of
the Ute Indians being on the warpath
as they had never given up the rights
to the 16 million acres of land they
inhabited for many centuries that had
been granted to them by the Treaty of
1868.
But by that time the pioneers had
settled in. Ambrose Oldland built a
store in White River City, and others
soon built a saloon, a restaurant, a
brick yard and several cabins.
Oldland had come west from
England, and he, John Delaney and
George Howard were the first school
directors of the White River School.
Vera Lowe was the teacher, and
15 children attended school in the
first year.
In 1891, Ambrose Oldland married Mary Delaney. Ambrose was the
county commissioner and a good
businessman.
In 1895, he knew that White
River City was on its way out, so he
bought the Watson Mercantile Co. in
Meeker and moved to town, where he

founded the A. Oldland & Co. store
that was first located where the current public library sets. He later purchased the Hugus Building where the
store served the White River valley
for more than 70 years. During the
Great Depression, Ambrose and
Mary sustained many area ranchers
and residents by giving them credit to
buy food, clothing and hardware for
ranching and business, much of
which was never repaid.
Mary wrote, “Time has justified
the faith of the pioneers and proved
the wisdom of their enterprises. It
was an age that had a marked effect
upon men’s lives and, in essence,
should be handed down to posterity.”
Anyone who has taken the time to
speak with Bob Amick or Sandy
Bradfield knows they are an intelligent set of siblings. Sandy went to
Colorado State University before finishing her nursing degree at Colorado
Mesa University. She worked as an
R.N., and as a director of nursing at
Pioneers Hospital for approximately
35 years, and at Rangely’s hospital
for 14 years.
Bob was graduated From the
University of Colorado at Boulder
(CU) with a degree in political science and minor in in education, theater and history. He was a staff member at CU for 34 years and is now
retired. He became an Eagle Scout in
Meeker and has served as a scouting
volunteer leader for more than 50
years.
It is clear that their work ethic
and way they speak so well are two
of so many traits handed down. Both
serve on many organizations, including Cattlewomen’s, Woolgrowers,
Meeker Arts and Cultural Council,
the MHS building accountability
board, and Bob has written grants in
excess of $130,000 for the Meeker
High School stage and sound system
as well as for the White River
Museum.
The siblings are diligent volunteers for the community and are now
serving as the Pioneers Association
co-presidents. The 102nd annual
reunion is June 7 beginning at 3 p.m.
with oral history and social hour, followed by dinner at 6:30 p.m. For

Our Righteous and Just God (4)
F
By Dr. J. D. Watson
Pastor-Teacher, Grace Bible Church
OR thou, LORD, wilt bless the
righteous . . . (Ps. 5:12). There are
some wondrous applications to this doctrine. The first, of course, is a warning to
the wicked. What a solemn warning God
I Dr. J.D.
has given to the ungodly of this world!
Watson
Second, there is a comfort to the
Christian. We find, in fact, three comforting thoughts when we quietly meditate on the righteousness and justice of God.
(1) Is it not comforting to know we have been forgiven? Some might ask, “Is there not a contradiction between God’s justice and His forgiveness? If He is truly
just, and gives man what he deserves, how then can He
forgive?” But recall, God is holy, so holy, in fact, that His
holiness demands that He impart holiness to those who do
not have it. To satisfy His holiness, then, God sent His Son
as payment for the just penalty of sin—death. Therefore,
when Christ died, justice was served. If Christ had not died
for us, the only way justice could have been served would
have been for each of us to die an eternal death.
(2) Is it not also comforting to know we have continued forgiveness through confession of sin? As noted last
time, 1 John 1:9 declares the forgiveness we have through
confession of sin. Christ not only died for our sin (the one
and only sin that sends us to hell, the rejection of God),
but Christ also died for our sins (the individual transgressions we commit along the way).
(3) Is it not comforting finally to know that God
will take care of our adversaries? As we have seen, God
will take care of those who afflict His people; we need not
and must not try to do it ourselves. Let us also observe that
God allows trials, tribulations, and suffering to come into
our lives. Why? To aid our growth. James is clear about
this, as James 1:2–3 declare.
Third, there is a challenge to the Christian. God’s justice challenges us to be just in our dealings with men. Picture in your mind today’s courtroom judge. He puts on his
robe, a symbol of justice, and goes into his courtroom.
Later, upon leaving his courtroom, he removes the robe.
But the believer is never to take off the “robe of righteousness and justice.” Job’s words were, “I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and
a diadem” (Job 29:14). Job dealt justly and fairly with
everyone around him. This being true of one in the OT
economy, how much more so this should be true of NT believers. We are in Christ, clothed in His righteousness and
justice. Oh, let us act like it! As Puritan Thomas Watson
put it: “Imitate God in justice. Let Christ’s golden maxim
be observed, ‘What you would have men to do to you, do
ye even so to them’” (Matt. 7:12).
Scriptures for Study: What does Romans 3:21–26
declare? What does James 1:2–3 teach us about trials?

This hen turkey was out for a solo walk on Sunday just off County Road 8 at about mile marker 10, but,
for the most part, the underbrush kept her pretty well disguised. Spring weather seems most dominant
these days, but the Colorado Department of Parks and Wildlife reminds hunters that fall turkey applications are being accepted as of today.

er may be a new experience, but we
are here to help them get through the
process.”
Turkey hunting continues to grow
in popularity across the country and
the state. In Colorado, opportunities
are greater than ever as the in-state
turkey populations continue to grow
and expand.
“Turkey are certainly one of the
success stories in terms of Colorado’s
wildlife management efforts,” said
State Small Game Manager Ed
Gorman. “Fall turkey hunting offers a
very unique and different opportunity
than spring turkey hunting.
Regardless, turkey hunting remains
very popular with the dedicated hunter
while at the same time attracting many
novices each year, including women
and youth eager to try hunting for the
first time.”
Through CPW’s Hunter Outreach
Program, novices have the opportunity to participate in mentored big game,
small game and turkey hunts, often
leading to a lifetime of active participation in outdoor activities and
wildlife management.

RBC I Colorado Parks and
Wildlife is reminding turkey hunters
that they can begin applying for fall
limited licenses as of today and running through the July 10 deadline.
Over-the-counter turkey licenses
can be purchased at any Colorado
Parks and Wildlife office, license
agents or online beginning Aug. 5.
Hunters are advised that applying for a
limited license, or purchasing any
license online is recommended to
streamline the process and prevent
common mistakes that may invalidate
an application.
“We continue to see an increase in
online license applications and pur-
chases, whether for big game, fishing,
small game or turkey,” said License
Manager Henrietta Turner. “It has significantly cut down on disqualified
applications.”
Turner says that CPW customer
service representatives and hunt planners are always available to help with
general questions or applications,
whether completed online or on paper.
If you need assistance with an application, call your nearest Colorado Parks
and Wildlife office. Hunt planners are
available Monday through Friday at
303-291-PLAN (7526) to help with
questions about hunting.
“Just give us a call if you get
stuck,” Turner said. “We understand
that for some people, using a comput-

Graduation for Rangely Rangely High School academic awards presented
High seniors is Sunday
By HEATHER ZADRA
By HEATHER ZADRA
RANGELY I What stands out
about this year’s Rangely High
School graduation ceremony, aside
from the accomplishments of the
class being graduated, is its concurrence with another notable weekend
event: Memorial Day.
“It’s unusual to have graduation
on Memorial Day weekend,” said
Rangely Junior-Senior High School
(RJSHS) administrative assistant
Beckey Hume. “We’re thinking it
may allow some families to travel.
It’s just a little harder on some of
our (scholarship) presenters to be
here that weekend.”
Commencement begins Sunday
at 2 p.m. at the RJSHS auditorium.
Valedictorians Chelsea Ficken,
Aimee Hogan and Tessa Slagle will
speak along with salutatorian
Kymberlie Hemphill.
Parkview Elementary School
Principal Mike Krueger and
Colorado
Northwestern
Community College President
Russell George will deliver the
keynote addresses.
As in past years, the event will
recognize graduates’ parents and
guardians and award several scholarships: Encana Oil and Gas, Moon
Lake Electric Association, W.C.
Striegel, Julius and Lomell Poole,
Colorado
Northwestern
Community College (CNCC),
Stewart Welding and the Rangely
Elks Club. The Sarah Nicole Huitt
and Douglas B. Chapman awards
will also be presented.
Following commencement,
graduates plan to move on to work,
join the military or attend Colorado
Northwestern Community College,
Colorado Mesa University, the
University of Denver, Fort Lewis
College, Fort Hays State University
in Kansas and the University of
Hawaii.

health services. There were no significant over-the-year declines.
Over the year, the unemployment rate declined nine tenths of one
percentage point from 6.9 percent in
April 2013. The number of
Coloradans participating in the labor
force increased 43,300, total
employment increased 67,400 and
the number of unemployed
decreased 24,100.
The national unemployment rate
declined from 7.5 percent in April
2013 to 6.3 percent in April 2014.
All Colorado estimates from the
establishment and household surveys, including greater geographic
detail, are available at: www.colmigateway.com.
Nonfarm payroll jobs estimates
are based on a survey of business
establishments and government
agencies, and are intended to measure the number of jobs, not the number of people employed. Other series
based on this survey include private
sector average weekly hours, average hourly earnings and average
weekly earnings.
The unemployment rate, labor
force, labor force participation, total
employment and the number of
unemployed are based on a survey
of households. The total employment estimate derived from this survey is intended to measure the number of people employed.
The business establishment survey covers about seven times the
number of households surveyed and
is therefore considered a more reliable indicator of economic conditions.
Because the estimates are based
on two separate surveys, one measuring jobs by worksite and the other
measuring persons employed and
unemployed by household, estimates based on these surveys may
provide seemingly conflicting
results, the Colorado Department of
Labor and Employment states.
COUNTY: Workweek hours decrease
unemployment rate to decline to 6.0
percent. The national unemployment
rate decreased four tenths of a percentage point to 6.3 percent.
The CDLE reports also that over
the past year, the average workweek
for all employees on private non-farm
payrolls decreased from 34.4 to 34.2
hours and average hourly earnings
increased from $25.49 to $26.25.
The largest over-the-month private sector job gains were in leisure
and hospitality, education and health
services, and professional and business services. The largest over the
month decline was in other services.
Over the past year, non-farm
payroll jobs increased by 70,800
positions; private-sector payroll jobs
increased by 65,300 and government
jobs rose by 5,500. The largest private sector job gains were in professional and business services, leisure
and hospitality, and education and

More than 100 children rode their bikes to Parkview Elementary School in Rangely on
May 7 for National Bike to School Day, with several dozen more parents and siblings
joining them, event organizer Beth Scoggins said. Children participated in a “bike
rodeo,” involving several challenges, and earned “licenses” for high scores. St. Mary’s
Hospital donated 100 helmets to the event with the Western Rio Blanco Metropolitan
(WRBM) Park and Recreation District giving away approximately 50 more. Scoggins said
she hopes the Bike to School Day will continue in future years.
Rangely grad completes Navy basic training
RANGELY I Navy Seaman Mark C. Barlow, son of Mark D. and Doretta R. Barlow of Rangely,
Colorado, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Illinois.
During the eight-week program, Barlow completed a variety of training exercises that included classroom
study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of
basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment.
Its distinctly “Navy” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.
Barlow is a 2011 graduate of Rangely High School in Rangely, Colorado.

Cowboys break school records at state track and field
— Rio Blanco County tracksters have solid showing at state meet —
By BOBBY GUTIERREZ
bobby@theheraldtimes.com
MEEKER I “Overall, we had a
great season and a solid state meet,”
Meeker High School track coach
John Strate said. “We saw four school
records broken this season and three
of them were at the state meet.
The Cowboys traveled to Denver
for the 2014 Colorado State Track
and Field Championships in
Jefferson County Stadium, with 22
athletes, including two alternates, to
compete in 12 individual events and
six relays.
Meeker sophomore T.J. Shelton,
who won the 100-meter dash state title
as a freshman, finished second in the
same race this year. However, he still
set a Meeker High School record in the
event. Shelton broke the Meeker High
School record, set by Matt Reel in
1997 at 11.17, with a time of 11.1, the
fastest in the state preliminaries.
Shelton also finished second in the
200.
“Although he did not defend his
title, he ran faster than last year, competing in a field dominated by private
schools,” coach Strate said.
Chris Youngs of Lutheran won
the event with a time of 11.03.
Meeker freshman Halle Ahrens,
who broke a 30-year-old school
record in the 200 meters, broke it
again in the state meet. She also
anchored the 4x100-meter relay
team, which improved its time at
state, thus improving the school
record the team broke the week
before.
“Our girls team had a solid performance at the state meet,” Strate
said. “Aly Ridings and Halle Ahrens
led the way on the girls’ side, in terms
of scoring.”
The Meeker girls finished 11th as
a team.
“Aly had the most impressive

Rio Blanco County’s high schools sent 26 athletes to the 2014
Colorado State Track and Field Championships in Denver. Several
returned with medals and broke five school records. Meeker’s TJ
Shelton (above) broke the MHS 100-meter dash record, sprinting to a
11.1 finish in the prelims and a second place finish in the finals.
Meeker freshman Halle Ahrens broke her own record in the 200 set
two weeks earlier and placed in four events, including two relays,
one of which (4x100 with Madison Russell, Ahrens, Sydney Hughes
and Linda Olivas) also broke a school record they set the week
before. Rangely’s Andrew Morton (left) place in four events and
broke the RHS record in the 110-meter hurdles, setting it at 15.56.
Senior classmate Connor Phelan (bottom left) set the RHS record in
the 400. Rangely’s Colt Allred (middle left) placed in the shot and discus. Rangely senior Aimee Hogan qualified in two sprint events.
Meeker seniors Aly Ridings placed in three events and Jeremy
Musgrave placed in the triple jump.

Rangely High School
Rangely senior Aimee Hogan
was the only girl to qualify for the
Panthers. After switching from distance to sprints this year, she qualified in two events, the 200 and 400,
earning a personal best in the 200.
“Aimee didn’t make the finals in
either event, but she did get a solid
personal best in the 200 at 28.03,”
Rangely coach Cody Brunton said.
“We however were super proud of
her as she ran distance the last three
years and decided to do sprints this
year to see if she could find more
success and ended up making state in

“She had the best performance of

coach Strate said of Ridings, who
also placed eighth in the triple jump.
Ahrens, also qualified in four

state meet. Ahrens, Linda Olivas,

while Ahrens, Olivas, Hughes and
Ridings ran the 4x200-meters.
“Both of those teams finished
fourth in a field that was loaded this
year, and Halle earned sixth in the
100 and eighth in the 200,” coach
Strate said. “This is a fantastic showing for a freshman.”
Hughes also made the finals in
the triple jump but finished “just
short of scoring,” coach Strate said of
Hughes. “Sydney looks to recover
from an ankle injury that has been
“FU N ”
bothering her and come back strong
next year.”
Meeker senior Jeremy Musgrave
will not return next year, but he
made the most of his first and only
track season, qualifying in three
events and placing sixth in the triple
jump.
“Jeremy made an excellent debut
at the state meet,” Strate said.
Musgrave did not make the
finals in the high jump nor did the
4x200-meter relay team he ran with
classmate J.C. Henderson and juniors Jake Phelan and Anthony Watt.

Lange and Aaron Cochran also qualified in the 4x800-meter relay team
that did not make the finals.
Meeker seniors Taylor Ahrens
and Piper Haney, along with underclassmen Peyton Burke, Julia
Eskelson, Reece Pertile and Maggie
Phelan, also qualified on relay teams
but did not place.
“Next year, we look to return the
majority of our state qualifiers,”
coach Strate said. “Now that they
have some experience at the state
meet it should be fun to see what
they can do.”
Strate wanted to thank his coaching staff for Meeker’s successful
season.
“Ben Quinn and Kris Casey are
paid assistants, but Shane Phelan,
Terrance Casias, Brittney Shubnell
and Pat Ibach are all volunteers,”
coach Strate said. “They made each
meet and every practice. It was
because of these generous people,
lending their expertise, that our athletes had the success they did.”

fish hatchery, sage-grouse research,
bird banding and survey work,
