MEEKER I The Meeker School
District’s 2014 Transitional Colorado
Assessment Program (TCAP) results were
released by the Colorado Department of
Education last month. Students around the
district were tested in reading, writing and
math and scored by the state as either
advanced, proficient, partially proficient or
unsatisfactory.
The test was given districtwide in March
with scores reported as a percentage of students proficient in each subject as well as the
movement of students across the scoring categories from 2013 to 2014.
Meeker Elementary School tested students in the third through fifth grades.

In reading, fourth and fifth grades saw a
greater number of students testing proficient,
with the largest gain being the fourth graders’
improvement of 17 percent more students
scoring proficient.
In contrast the fifth grade reading scores
were down, with 24 percent fewer students
testing proficient and moving down to partially proficient or unsatisfactory. Writing
scores looked very similar, with the third and
fourth grades having more students test as
proficient and above while the fifth grade
lost 28 percent, falling below proficient.
The largest difference at the elementary
school was third grade math with 41 percent
of students testing advanced and another 41
percent placing proficient. Fourth grade also
tested well in math with 83 percent of students scoring either proficient or advanced.
Once again, the fifth grade was the anomaly
with a loss of 18 percent of students testing
proficient or higher leaving 47 percent of students scoring below proficient.
Barone Middle School tests sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
The sixth grade experienced growth in
math and writing with an 8 percent increase
in proficient math students and a 10 percent
increase in writing proficiency. The class
also had no students test unsatisfactory.
Seventh grade was fairly level across all
three tested subjects with a 1 percent change
from proficient to advanced in reading, a 1
percent loss from proficient to partially proficient in writing and a 6 percent increase to
advanced in math.
The eighth grade experienced a loss of
advanced students moving down to profi-
cient in all three areas. Reading had a 9 percent loss to proficient or lower, writing saw
18 percent of the students moving downward
and math experienced an 8 percent loss of
advanced students with an 8 percent gain in
unsatisfactory students.
Meeker High School tests only ninth and
10th grades with TCAP.
The ninth grade class had increased
growth in all three subjects. Ninth grade
reading saw increases across the board with
12 percent more students testing proficient in
2014. Writing was similar with a 10 percent
gain of students testing advanced and no students scoring unsatisfactory. Math also had
more students testing advanced by 11 percent
with 32 percent of students testing proficient
or advanced in the subject.

RBC I The State of Colorado
Energy and Mineral Impact Advisory
Committee met recently to review
requests for grants from state severance tax and mineral lease revenues,
and has awarded Rio Blanco County
$2 million.
These revenues are derived from
oil, gas, carbon dioxide, coal and metals extracted in Colorado, including in
Rio Blanco County.
The county applied for these grant
funds from the Colorado Department
of Local Affairs (DOLA) to offset construction costs associated with the Rio
Blanco County Justice Center Project,
which is planned in downtown
Meeker, the county seat.
Eric Jaquez, the Rio Blanco
County project coordinator, said,
“Receiving these funds is an excellent
opportunity for the taxpayers of Rio
Blanco County and reinforces the
belief that this is the optimal time to
proceed with this project.”
The grant application and project
were reviewed based on a variety of
factors such as its connection to energy
impact, degree of need, measurable
outcomes, amount of request, relationship to community goals, level of local
match and community support, management capacity and readiness to go.
Rio Blanco County Commissioner
Jeff Eskelson acknowledges that,
“While this is a great project, it is
imperative that the taxpayers know the
source of this funding. These funds are
a portion of the Federal Mineral Lease
(severance tax) dollars generated by
energy production in Rio Blanco
County, paid to the federal government, then redistributed by the State of
Colorado. These are dollars that rightfully belong to Rio Blanco County.”
Matching grant funds provided by
Rio Blanco County are derived from
severance tax and federal mineral lease
distributions, impact fees and use-tax
funds saved over the last five years.
No debt is being incurred to construct this project, Eskelson said.
If you would like more information about this topic, please contact
Katelin Cook at 970-878-9474 or

ment in scores, the 10th grade experienced
the opposite.
In reading, 15 percent fewer students
tested proficient and math had a 13 percent
loss of proficiency. Writing saw similar
results with a decrease of 11 percent of students moving from proficient to partially
proficient or unsatisfactory.
The 2013-2014 school year was the end
of the TCAP test in Colorado.
In the 2014-2015 school year, districts
will move to the nationalized Partnership for
Assessment of Readiness for College and
Careers (PARCC), which is aligned with the
state-adopted Common Core standards.
Full 2013-2014 TCAP results may be
viewed on the Colorado Department of
Education website under the heading

The Meeker Classic Championship Sheepdog Trials got off to an early start on Wednesday, and
will continue through the finals on Sunday at Ute Park, located on the west end of Meeker. Above,
Dennis Edwards and his border collie, Roy, from Sundance, Wyo., got within feet of corralling the
sheep in their first trial. The clock ran out with the sheep just about to enter the corral, but
Edwards did garner a score of 43. There are 125 dogs in the trials and the field will be narrowed
to the top 20 for Saturday’s semifinals and to 10 for Sunday’s finals.
Meeker Classic Sheepdog Trials
have started, run through Sunday
MEEKER I Once again, the
scene at Ute Park west of Meeker
has been transformed as the 28th
annual Meeker Classic Sheepdog
Trials began Wednesday and continues through the championship
rounds on Sunday.
The Meeker Classic Sheepdog
Trials is known as the trial “to go
to” by handlers around the world.
Why the prestige?
Handlers cite the friendly
atmosphere, enthusiastic spectators, wealth of ancillary activities
and, most of all, the sheep.
Seven hundred and sixty yearling merino ewes have been separated from their summer home and
flock in the high country north of
Vail and Wolcott. These sheep are
known in the dog trialing world as
tough and independent ones that
challenge even the best dog and
handler teams as they work together to maneuver the group through
obstacles common to ranching
operations.
The sheep and the rough 600yard high-altitude course have led
many a competitor whose dog was
perplexed to exclaim, “I’ve been
Meekered!” The phrase is now
standard usage worldwide.
To help you better understand
and enjoy the competition, there is
an educational DVD available and
written materials in the program.
Announcer Ray Crabtree of Kuna,
Idaho, himself a rancher and trialer, will provide insightful commentary as each run proceeds. The
handlers, too, are always happy to
chat about the course and their
dogs.
Elvin Kopp, of Westerose,
Alberta, Canada, is returning to
Meeker as the 2014 event judge.
Kopp has a rich history with the
Meeker Classic. He won the first
Meeker Classic with his dog, Jeff,
in 1987 and in 2006 he came back
to judge the 20th anniversary
event. Kopp brings a wealth of
knowledge with him as a rancher
and competitive trialer. He is tirelessly dedicated to all aspects of

The events and attractions
associated with the Meeker
Classic continue to expand year
after year. New this year to the trials is the museum art exhibit
“Portraits of Pastoralism” by Cat
Urbigkit. The exhibit will be on
display in the Wilber Art Barn.
This traveling exhibit highlights
the challenges of pastoralism
around the globe.
On Saturday, Sheepcamp Wool
Mill has organized a special
demonstration that will show the
complete process of turning
sheep’s wool into a finished product. The first step, shearing the
sheep, will start at 9 a.m., and the
demonstration will continue
throughout the day.
The Meeker Classic will feature the traditional favorites as
well — artisan craft and food fair,
art contest and auction, flyball and
agility dogs, a petting farm, pancake breakfast, barbecues, educa See CLASSIC, Page 2A
RANGELY I The Rangely
School District results are in, and
there are some highs and lows in
comparing the students’ scores from
last year to the previous year.
The Colorado Department of
Education released the 2014
Transitional Colorado Assessment
Program (TCAP) results for all
Colorado school districts in midAugust. The TCAP test, which was
administered to all public school students in March of 2014, tests students in reading, writing and mathematics.
Students are identified as one of
four categories in each subject tested; advanced, proficient, partially
proficient or unsatisfactory. The
Colorado Department of Education
then reports the percentages of students in each category as well as the
movement of students from one proficiency level to another from year to
year.
The drops in Rangely scoring
were not unique to the district, as
scores statewide were slightly down.
The following data reports on movement of students in Rangely from
2012-13 to 2013-14.
At the elementary level, third,
fourth and fifth grades were tested
with TCAP. The largest gains experienced by Parkview took place in
reading.
The third grade had a 6 percent
increase in reading proficiency, leaving 75 percent of third-grade students scoring proficient or above,
while the fourth grade experienced a
16 percent increase in reading proficiency.
Fourth grade was the only
Parkview Elementary grade with an
increase in math scores, going up
with 10 percent more fourth graders
proficient in math than in 2013.
The greatest losses in scores at
PVE occurred in students testing proficient or above in math with third
grade math proficiency down 14 percent and a 32 percent loss in the fifth
grade with 59 percent of fifth graders
testing partially proficient or unsatisfactory. Writing also saw several
losses with a 16 percent decrease in
proficient fourth graders and 18 percent fewer proficient fifth graders.
For the purposes of score reporting, Rangely Junior/Senior High is
broken into two schools, middle and
high school. At the middle school, all
three grades are tested.

CORRECTION
MEEKER I The Rio
Blanco Herald Times reported incorrectly in the Aug. 28
edition that Dr. Robert
Dorsett not only had his doctorate in medicine but that he
had doctorates in math and
science. That was incorrect
information; while highly educated in math and science,
Dr. Dorsett does not have a
doctorate in those subjects.
The Herald Times regrets
the error.
Mountain Scots, a pipe and drum
band, and the Crowlin Ferlies are
sure to provide great musical entertainment for the entire family.
For those who can’t get enough
of dogs, there’s the Jackpot Trial at
the Rio Blanco County Fairgrounds
in Meeker.
Attendees are urged to take the
shuttle or carriage from town to the
trial site. It is also suggested to bring
sunscreen, a hat and probably a rain
jacket or umbrella to Ute Park.
Maybe a lawn chair, too, especially
for the movie and concert. But
please, leave your pets at home.

Bagpipes, Celtic music in Meeker on Saturday
MEEKER I Recalling that the
Meeker Classic is tied historically to
the Scottish Highlands and Irish
sheepherding, Meeker’s Concerts in
the Park series will continue
Saturday night with “the old country” in mind.
From 4 to 4:30 p.m. on the courthouse lawn in downtown Meeker,
the Rocky Mountain Scotts, which is
the first original bagpipe band in
Western Colorado, will perform.
Through the years, the name might
have changed, but the same dedication that was established back in
1994 by Hugh Thackaberry is preserved with all the pride and dignity
one would expect from a military
style bagpipe and drum band.
From 5 p.m to 9 p.m., the
Crowlin Ferlies will perform. This

In 2013-2014, each of the grades saw little
change in reading scores with the exception being
a 13 percent increase in the number of eighth
grade students scoring advanced. In writing, but
the sixth and seventh grades remained fairly level
while the eighth grade had a 22 percent decrease
in writing proficiency. The seventh and eighth
grades experienced a general upward trend in
math with fewer students testing unsatisfactory,
moving into the partially proficient range.

RANGELY: Test results vary by grade, school

Kathleen Rude
S
At the high school level, only grades 9 and 10
are tested via TCAP.
The ninth grade had the greatest loss in math
with an additional 17 percent of students testing
unsatisfactory.
Tenth-grade reading saw the greatest
improvement with an increase of 27 percent of
students testing either proficient or advanced.
In 2012-13, 13 percent of the10th grades tested unsatisfactory. However in 2013-14 that score
went down to zero, meaning every 10th grade
student was at least partially proficient in read-
ing. The same grade experienced similar results
in math and writing with fewer testing unsatisfactory than in 2012-13.
Students in Rangely are also tested three
times annually with the Measure of Academic
Progress (MAPS) program, which provides
instant feedback to the teacher regarding student
progress.
TCAP scores from 2013-2014 and previous
years can be accessed on the Colorado
Department of Education website under the heading SchoolView.

BLM seeks comment
on closing area land
MEEKER I The Bureau of Land
Management is now seeking public
comment on a proposal to temporarily
close access to public lands 15 miles
north of Meeker for safety reasons.
The proposed 24-month closure
would prohibit public access to 1,850
acres of public land near the Colowyo
Mine in Moffat and Rio Blanco counties. The area of the proposed closure
does not include all lands associated
with the Colowyo Mine and only
extends to a distance necessary to provide safety to visitors and mine
employees.
The public would still have access
to other public lands in the area.
“Public safety is of the highest
importance to the Bureau of Land
Management,” said White River Field
Manager Kent Walter. Walter said the
closure is meant to prevent members
of the public from entering areas adjacent to active mine activity during
blasting and other operations.
Dangerous situations often arise during hunting season, placing employees
and the public both in danger.
“This closure would minimize the
potential for the recreating public to be
exposed to mining hazards and ensure
miners are not put at undue risk,”
Walter said.

4A OPINION
Septemberfest a great time; Meeker Classic in progress
FROM MY WINDOW...
T
By SEAN McMAHON
sean@theheraldtimes.com
he summer activities continue in
Rio Blanco County, and the
focus this past weekend was
Septemberfest in Rangely.
Septemberfest is three days of fun
activities, good food, water and mud, a
parade, great entertainment, an ice
cream social and an impressive car
show.
While most major town activities
seem to be aimed at pulling outside
people and outside dollars into a community, Septemberfest seems different.
It seems more like a small town just
out to enjoy itself — happy with each
other and their friends without having
to please an outside influence.
There were actually a lot of folks
from Meeker and around the county
and there were also quite a few people

passing through who thought
Septemberfest was a pretty neat little
festival.
Bob and Gloria Hassrick from Des
Moines, Iowa, were just passing
through on their way to Yellowstone,
and Monday was supposed to be a
driving day. They arrived in Rangely
intent upon getting a tank full of gas
and left many hours later.
“We were stopped to get gas and
noticed people lined up on the main
drag,” Bob said, “When we were done
at the station, we started to leave, finding out that we are just minutes away
from the start of the town’s parade.
“We decided to watch the parade
and really enjoyed that, but now we
find ourselves at this arts and crafts
fair and car show (at Elks Park),”
Gloria said. “I’ve already spent more
than $100 and I’m not even half way
around the arts and crafts show.”
There were some neat things on
display in the arts and crafts booths,
and some of the cars, trucks and trikes

at the car show
were really beautiful. The colors of
the cars parked in
the sun were mesmerizing, the various smells were
reminiscent of a
garden selection
and it was good to
see several booths from Colorado
Northwest Community College out
there promoting dental hygiene; the
boys’ and girls’ basketball teams each
had a booth; and the college even had
one of its planes from the flight-training school on display in the park.
Personally, my favorite vehicle in
the park was the 1930 Detroit Electric
car the Striegel family had just purchased in Worland, Wyo. (Its picture is
located elsewhere in today’s edition of
the Herald Times.) In this day and age
of electricity-aided, fully electrical and
hybrid vehicles, which run on electricity and gasoline, how many people
knew there were fully electric cars on
our roads at least 84 years ago?
The 1930 Detroit Electric has a
tough steel exterior, which means it is
really in pretty good shape and seemingly as sturdy as the day it was built.
The interior is old, but what would
one expect after 80 years?
Bud and Grace Striegel said their
intent is to restore the car to as original
a product as possible. Let me tell you,
when that baby is complete, it is going
to be a spectacular vehicle and serve
its purpose as an eye opener to what
used to be and is just becoming again.
I tremendously enjoyed
Septemberfest last year and this year’s
event, I believe, was an improvement
on that event.
It is nice to see a small town
enjoying itself.
It was great seeing the home folks
enjoying the pancake/sausage/eggs
breakfast served by the fire department; seeing the adults and kids playing in the mud with the obstacle
course and tug-of-war; enjoying a
pork barbecue at Elks Park on Sunday
night that was sponsored by a local
church that wasn’t turned into a religious event; the bull riding by locals;
the wide variety of parade entrants; the
work put into all the vehicles at the car
show on Monday and all the arts and
craftsmen (and women) who showed
off their wares at the crafts air.
Congratulations, Rangely, on
being yourself. It was a tremendously
fun, low-key but very well attended
series of events that made up
Septemberfest. You, as a town, did
yourself proud.

This week, the attention turns back
to Meeker with the Meeker Classic
Championship Sheepdog Trials, which
will kick up with the start of trials on
Wednesday morning.
I think we all (at least us older
folks) remember seeing once or twice
a year on ABC’s Wide World of
Sports a few decades ago the Scottish
clans getting together for some sheepdog competition. Way back then, it
wasn’t all border collies that were
showing their prowess, but it was really interesting to watch the old herdsmen (always men back then) call in
their sheep and corral the herd from
maybe 100 yards away.
This Meeker game? It is serious.

It is intriguing and it takes place as
the team of handler and dog work
together covering an area many hundreds of yards away. It is an extreme
exhibition of how man and animal
can work together and communicate
together from what can be a distance
that mere mortals might not even be
able to hear each other.
Man and canine work with precision, crossing paths with nature, and
that can make for some interesting
times. These humans have trained
these dogs to react to sounds, words,
motions and noises. That these dogs
can react the way they do to a minimum of handlers’ actions is a credit
to the border collie breed.
That they can sometimes misunderstand the handler’s command
makes those great dogs … well …
almost human. And after watching a
few great examples of communication between man and dog and bearing witness to what might not be one
of the smoothest performances ever,
it really isn’t tough to recognize that
the collie feels badly about any mistakes, taking on nearly human emotions.
By the end of a run, with few
words (or expletives), the observer
knows exactly what the handler and
the dogs have on their minds and
how they feel.
The food is good (yes there is
lamb) and widely varied, the on-site
art is splendidly focused on the border collies, lambs and the handlers.
But to see the interaction between
man and dog, is, as the ad says, priceless. And worth much more than the
price of admission.
Those who put on the Meeker
Classic Championship Sheepdog
Trials should be most proud because
this is a true world event with many
nations represented among the 125
competing dogs. They put on a good
show, they are good hosts and they
truly do what they can so the contestants and their dogs are comfortable
and that all feel at home in Meeker.
But along with the usual avalanche of things to do with the trials
themselves, the numerous volunteers
are vital to the success of the trials.
Volunteers help with scoring, they
park the cars, they police the trash in
the area, they sell tickets and they
help the “officials” and “organizers”
make certain that everything goes
well.
And there is a small handful of
folks who helped prepare Ute Park
for the trials, starting weeks in
advance of the event. Grass must be
mowed, fences need to be fixed and
positioned, obstacles and barriers
must go up so the dogs know where
to direct the sheep, tents for the various displays and vendors have to be
raised and the area has to be spruced
up.
My MVP for this year goes to
Meeker Mayor Regas Halandras. Not
working as mayor and not working
for anyone else, even though his family has a long and stellar standing
with the trials, Regas has spent
numerous hours out there working
alone, doing a vast number of small
chores and major tasks to get Ute
Park ready to host this prestigious
event.
Thanks, Regas. We spectators
and, I am certain, the contestants and
organizers appreciate all the work
you have done.
Everyone, have a great weekend.
But the sheepdog trials don’t
wrap up the season’s activities
although we are less than three weeks
from seeing the official end of summer.
Already some of the leaves are
turning that bright yellow color that
indicates that the autumn (sounds so
much more welcoming than ‘fall’) is
nearly here, followed by you know
what...
But before that, mark the last
Saturday of the month, Sept. 27, for
the Mountain Valley Bank Fall
Festival. The event is co-sponsored
by WREA and the ERBM Recreation
and Park District.

statewide meetings to identify regulatory inefficiencies and lead efforts to cut
red tape in order to improve business
conditions for Colorado companies,
local governments and non-profit

“This long-term initiative was
embraced by the state’s executive agencies to find solutions to areas of government services that we heard directly
from businesses and the public needed
improvement,” Kelley said.
The projects outlined in the report
demonstrate identified problems and

Department of Regulatory Agencies
(DORA) on Friday released the “Pits
and Peeves 2.0 – Progress in Motion
Report” that highlights recent accomplishments related to an ongoing
statewide initiative to cut government
red tape, reduce regulatory burdens and
costs on businesses, improve customer
service and shift the culture of state
government.
“Pits and Peeves 2.0” reports that a
total of 13,290 rules have been
reviewed by executive agencies, with
5,322 amended and 1,522 repealed, in
response to Executive Order D 2012002, which charged state agencies to
conduct periodic rule reviews to determine their need and effectiveness.
The report provides an update to a
continuing effort, from the “Omnibus

and then the “Supplement Report on
Rule Review by State Agencies”
(released in 2013).
“Eliminating outdated, irrelevant
and unnecessary regulations and
streamlining the remaining rules helps
reduce the burdens and costs of compliance for businesses, which ultimately creates savings for the consuming
public,” said DORA Executive

Broadband initiative set to go to voters
By BOB AMICK
RBC I The Rio Blanco County
Broadband Coalition has placed a
question on the November ballot that
would permit county voters to authorize the creation of a broadband
provider authority by government
organizations such as county and
town boards.
Coalition officials said it is important to note that this ballot question
will not increase taxes or impose any
costs on taxpayers. This effort is a
part of the countywide consortium
that seeks to join commercial broadband providers with government and
other participants.
Colorado Senate Bill 152, passed
in 2005, placed a restriction on government agencies providing broadband services if it can be shown that
commercial providers are capable of
and willing to provide comprehensive
broadband middle and last mile services to subscribers in a county or
municipality. County and local governments may opt out of this restriction if the voters approve such a
move.
Commercial broadband providers
are reluctant to invest substantial
funding in developing infrastructure
in small, sparsely populated rural
counties and municipalities since they
cannot generate an adequate return on
their investment. This explains why
sparsely populated areas are chronically underserved with high-speed,
high-capacity broadband.
A number of rural Colorado counties and communities have placed ballot issues for voters to approve so that
county and local governments may
provide broadband services to their
residents in a comprehensive and
timely manner rather than waiting
indefinitely for commercial providers
to eventually provide such services.
The approach being taken by Rio
Blanco County in forming a coalition
of private enterprise providers, local
and county governments, wireless
(cell phone) providers, funders, philanthropic foundations, utilities and
other potential contributors is that it
will be able to greatly expedite and
create a comprehensive broadband
system that serves all potential consumers in Rio Blanco County.
Such a system offers abundant
affordable broadband services that are
inexpensive and will stimulate economic development through private
enterprise, heritage and agri-tourism
and world-wide international marketing of attractions and enterprises
available in Rio Blanco County.
A Denver Post article recently
described how the Colorado statute
created by Senate Bill 152 has actually delayed and impeded development
of broadband services in rural counties and communities and should perhaps be repealed or rewritten in the
next legislative session. See that article at: www.denverpost.com/opinion/ci_26300274/meyer-coloradolaw-hinders-cities-efforts-expandbroadband
Voters may exempt their county
and municipal governments from this
statute and permit the rapid development of broadband services as noted
above.

The Lamb of God
By Dr. J. D. Watson
Pastor-Teacher, Grace Bible Church
F you do not have a church home, we
would love to see you this Lord’s Day
for a very special message based upon John
1:29: Behold the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sin of the world. Here’s
I Dr. J.D.
the reason why.
Watson
There is perhaps no better way to get
to know Christ more deeply and intimately than understanding His names. While we might
think that is limited to “Jesus Christ,” the fact is that more
than 50 names are ascribed to Him in Scripture. But why
so many names? Multiple names serve three purposes that
could never be served by any one name.
First, multiple names more fully describe His nature—what He is. Among the countless attacks upon
Christianity through the ages, none has been more violent
in its execution or critical in its importance than the exact
nature of Jesus Christ. Man, philosopher, sage, revolutionary, and a god have all been used to describe Him. This
question is answered, however, simply by turning to His
names.
Second, Jesus’ names delineate His character—who
He is. There is perhaps no better summation of Christian
character than Galatians 5:22–23. The reason those nine
characteristics can reign in the Christian is because they
are the very character of Christ, and His names delineate
that character.
Third, Jesus’ names display His work—what He did.
He came “to seek and to save that which was lost” (Lk.
19:10), and His names display it in vivid pictures. Just a
few of those some 50 names that describe Him are: The
Son of God; The Son of Man; I Am; the Bread of Life; the
Light of the World; the Door; the Resurrection and the
Life; the Way, the Truth, and the Life; the Vine; the Alpha
and Omega; The Cornerstone; The Prince and Perfecter of
Faith; Savior; the Bridegroom; The Carpenter; Prophet;
Priest; King; Messiah; The Root and the Offspring of
David; The Bright and Morning Star; and of course, The
Word.
But still, few of the pictures of our Lord that hang in
the Scripture gallery are as touching and tantalizing than
is the one titled Lamb of God. The word Lamb here is
the Greek amnos. It refers to a young sheep, frequently
one year old, used for sacrifice. John the Baptist, therefore, heralds, Behold the Lamb of God, which literally
means, “The [not just a] Lamb provided by God.” As the
great expositor J. C. Ryle well observes, “Never was there
a fuller testimony borne to Christ upon earth than that
which is here borne by John the Baptist.” Luke likewise
pictures Christ as the submissive lamb before the shearers
(Acts 8:32), and Peter declares that Jesus is the “lamb
without blemish and without spot” (1 Pet. 1:19). Amnos is
also used in the Septuagint for a sacrificial lamb (e.g.,
Exod. 29:38ff).
It is interesting, however, that while the Apostle John
uses amnos only twice in his Gospel account, he adopts
another word later in his gospel (21:15) and then throughout the entire book of Revelation (29 times). It is the word
arnion, which refers to a young lamb, a “little lamb.” Why
the difference in terms? One Greek authority offers,
“Amnos tou theou [the Lamb of God] denotes God’s offering, Christ, whom he destined to bear the sin of the world,
while arnion emphasizes the fact that He who is eternal
Lord is also Christ crucified for us.” In other words,
arnion pictures Christ as both Redeemer and Ruler.
Tracing the Lamb through the biblical record demonstrates the true wonder of this picture. When we do so, we
discover that there are 10 passages where the Lamb is
specifically mentioned. These 10 can be presented through
eight principles: the Prefiguring of the Lamb (Genesis
4:3–7a); the Provision of the Lamb (Genesis 22:6); the
Punishing of the Lamb (Ex. 12:3–2); the Personage of the
Lamb (Isaiah 53:5–8); the Presentation of the Lamb (John
1:29); the Promise of the Lamb (Acts 8:26–39); the Power
of the Lamb (1 Peter 1:18–21); the Praising of the Lamb
(Revelation 5:6–14; 21:1—22:5).
Again, if you do not have a church home, we hope
you will join us at Grace Bible Church (on the corner of
3rd and Garfield) at 10:30 A.M. this Lord’s Day for this
wonderful study of the Lamb of God.

enhance the public space in front of

statue celebrating the veterans from
that area. In less than a year, this
dynamic and inspiring grassroots
effort culminated with the creation
of a strong coalition, successful

Meeker Cowboys pound the Roaring
Fork Rams with 46-0 victory at home
By BOBBY GUTIERREZ
MEEKER I The results were
different this year than last, when the
Meeker Cowboy football team
played the 2A Roaring Fork Rams,
as the Meeker Cowboys shut out the
Rams, 46-0, in Starbuck Stadium on
Friday.
The Cowboys will now take their
2-0 record on the road to play another 2A school, the Coal Ridge Titans,
on Friday.
Last year, the Cowboys lost the
game and their quarterback (Jake
Phelan broke his leg in the game)
and they played without their star
running back T.J. Shelton. This year,
Phelan was healthy, Shelton played
and the Cowboys pounded the Rams
from start to finish.
“It was a little different outcome
this year,” Meeker head coach Shane
Phelan said. “I was happy with how
we came out with lots of intensity
and a sense of urgency.”
Meeker started in good field
position after senior Cade Rowlett
returned the opening kickoff to the
Ram’s 40 yard line. Phelan ran for a
first on fourth down, then completed
a pass to Raul Lopez before Shelton
ran it in for Meeker’s first touchdown. Phelan completed a two-point
conversion to Tristin Pelloni and the
Cowboys led 8-0, needing less than
three minutes to get on the scoreboard.
The Rams drove the field and
were 11 yards from scoring when
Lopez intercepted a pass in the end
zone.
The Cowboys marched back the
other direction and Shelton scored
again, this time from 27 yards out.
Phelan connected with Devon
Pontine for the extra points and
Meeker led 16-0.
Meeker scored two times in the
second quarter, the first a touchdown
by Phelan after senior running back
Dillon Frantz pounded the ball to the
goal line. Lopez caught a pass from
Phelan for the two extra points, then
Shelton scored again from 27 yards
out. Phelan ran in for the extra points
and Meeker led 32-0 at halftime.
The Cowboys started the run-
Rangely Panthers trounce
Mancos 40-6, still undefeated
By BOBBY GUTIERREZ
RANGELY I After a 40-6
whipping of the Mancos Bluejays
on Yeager Field the previous
weekend, the Rangely Panther
football team is currently undefeated. This week, the Panthers
will play their first game away
from home, traveling to Dove
Creek.
“They played great,” was all
Rangely head coach Paul
Fortunato had to say about his
team’s performance.
Rangely scored three touchdowns in the first quarter, two
rushing touchdowns by Ethan
Allred, including one for 35 yards
and one in the air, when quarterback Kaulan Brady connected
with Kelton Elam for an 18-yard
touchdown.
Allred had another 100-yard
game, rushing 16 times for 101
yards, two touchdowns and scored
on a two-point conversion attempt.
Brady completed three of four
passes, all for touchdowns, and
scored his team’s fifth touchdown
when he stripped the ball from a
Mancos running back and returned
it for a touchdown in the second
quarter.
Brady finished with nine tackles. In addition to Elam, Brady
also threw touchdown passes to
Jesse Powell and Jimmie
Sherman.
Brady’s 29-yard touchdown
pass to Sherman in the third quarter, when Kiki Ruiz added the twopoint conversion, would be the
final time the Panthers scored.
Ruiz carried the ball 11 times and
rushed for 76 yards.
The Bluejays avoided a
shutout when they scored a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
Powell and Elam led the
defense, each recording 16 tackles
and each recovering a fumble.
Powell also recorded a sack as did
Allred, who finished with 15 tackles, as did Luis Contreras.
Austin
Blakely,
Layne
Mecham, Chance Sheppard,
Nakoma Bailey, Freddie Ruiz,
Nych Deleon and Troy Allred also
recorded more than two tackles
each. Freddie Ruiz had two sacks
and a fumble recovery.
The Panthers will travel to the
southwest corner of the state to
play the Dove Creek Bulldogs, in
a non-league game Friday.
“They should be a good test
for us,” Coach Fortunato said.
“They are a tough team that has
been very successful the past few
seasons.”

Meeker’s defense smothered the Roaring Fork Rams on the field and
on the scoreboard, shutting out the 2A Rams, 46-0. The Cowboys will
travel to Dove Creek to play the 2A Bulldogs on Friday.
ning clock early in the third quarter,
after Shelton broke away for a 93yard touchdown.
Meeker’s defense continued to
dominate the Rams, whose defense
couldn’t stop the Cowboys, even
when freshman Logan Hughes
earned varsity experience by
replacing his cousin under center.
Hughes’ first varsity completion
was for a touchdown to Lopez
(Maxpreps gave Hughes a quarterback rating of 177).
“I was pleased with our focus
and effort in the second half,”
Coach Phelan said. “We talk about
effort a lot and I think we are headed in the right direction.”
Shelton carried the ball 14
times, gained 183 yards and scored
three touchdowns. Phelan completed nine of 17 passes for 103 yards,
including one for a touchdown. He
rushed for another.
Sophomore Casey Turner led
the Cowboys on defense with 12
tackles, including several punishing
blows. Phelan finished with nine
tackles and Shelton was in on eight.
Pontine and Cody Stickler each finished with seven tackles and senior
Matt Frantz recorded five tackles,
one for a sack.
The kickoff for the game
against Coal Ridge is scheduled for
7 p.m.
MATT SCOGGINS
Rangely Panther running back Ethan Allred (45) breaks the line to gain some of the 101 yards on
16 carries that he earned during Rangely’s 40-6 defeat of Mancos on Friday. For the game, Allred
also added two touchdowns and a two-point conversion. On Friday, the Rangely gridders will head
south for a non-league contest against the Dove Creek Bulldogs.
Rangely volleyball team opens
its season with big victories
RANGELY I The Rangely High
School girls’ volleyball tam began its
season with a tournament in Aspen
on Friday and Saturday, getting the
season started with wins.
The Panthers won three of four
matches and proved they are going to
be a very competitive team this year.
Head coach Jimmie Mergelman
said, “We are still pretty young, but
(the team members) are really doing
what it takes in practice to take care
of business on Friday and
Saturday.”
The first game of the tourna-
ment was against the traditionally
tough league opponent, West Grand.
The Panthers came out strong, winning the first game 25-20.The team
from Kremmling fought back to
take the second game, forcing an
extremely close third game.
Rangely lost 18-16.
The young team showed what
they are made of as they bounced
back to win three straight matches
to finish the tournament.
Starting for the Panthers were
freshmen Katelyn Brown and Sarah
Conor, sophomores Katye Allred,
Antonette Doris, Lindsey Thacker
and Sydney Shaffer and juniors
Courtney Bell and Justyne
Dembowski.
Combined with outstanding play
off the bench from Carrie Goddard,
Desiree Coombs and Simone
Heinle, the Panthers are extremely
tough in every rotation and appear
to be a team that will only get better
as the season progresses.
The solid team play allowed the
Rangely girls to finish off
Hotchkiss, Aspen and Basalt in two
games each, providing confidence
going into the regular season.
Rangely plays Hotchkiss Friday
and Paonia on Saturday in two
league matches.
by running back Robert Osteen, who
scored two touchdowns and a twopoint conversion, and fullback Titus
Coombs, who added another touchdown and two-point conversion.
Quarterback Devin Ramirez also
converted a two-point conversion for
the Panthers.
The Panthers’ defense proved to
be tough in the red zone by stopping
three drives by the Bulldogs within
the Pather 20-yard line.
On the Bulldogs first trip to the
red zone, the Panthers defense faced
a four yards and goal.
On the play, Titus Coombs
forced a fumble on the one yard line
and Mark Mercado returned the fumble to the Panthers 48 yard line.
The Panthers’ season continues
this week with an away game on
Saturday against the North Park
Wildcats in Walden, starting at 1

RHS harriers log personal bests
RBC I The Rangely Panther high
school cross-county team headed
south of Grand Junction this past
weekend to participate in the Delta
Cross Country Invitational at
Confluence Park.
Much drier than last week, the
harriers found the weather to be perfect, the course to be fast and the competition to be swift. There were 24
schools at the event, which included
5-kilometer (3.2-mile) races for the
varsity runners, JV runners as well as
a 3K (1.9-mile) middle school race.
There were 114 varsity girls who
began the day on the flat course that
weaves along the rivers and lakes of
Confluence Park, and Savannah
Nielsen led the way for the Panthers
with a new best time of 24:15, finishing in 78th place. Rebecca Gillard
also finished the day with a new per-
sonal best time of 27:37, finishing in
106th place.
The boys were lead by Patrick
Scoggins, who finished the course in
a time of 17:29, earning him a 20thplace finish in a race with 147 runners.
Mitchell Webber, the No. 2 runner for Rangely, was a little under the
weather but still completed the
course in a time of 19:56, earning
him a 101st-place finish. Running in
a pack not too far behind were
Zackary Glasgow, Brennan Noyes,
James Scoggins, and Daniel Connor,
who all finished the course with personal bests, sporting times of 21:21,
21:34, 21:35, and 21:41, respectively.
New to the racing circuit,
Rangely sixth grader Ben Nielsen ran
his first cross country race in the middle school division with 43 other
sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade
boys. Nielsen completed the 3,000meter course in a time of 13:56.
Coach Matt Scoggins was
pleased with the overall performance
of the runners and very excited to see
so many personal bests among the
distance runners.
Rangely’s next meet will be this
weekend at the Basalt Longhorn
Cross Country Invitatation.

SEPTEMBERFEST
Septemberfest offers fun and
games for all in Rangely
SEAN MCMAHON
CNCC President Russell George and some of his students were promoting good dental hygiene and trying to interest potential students in the program.
By JEN HILL
RANGELY
I
Rangely’s
Septemberfest, which began Friday
and ran through Labor Day Monday,
was packed full of interesting activities for Rangely residents and visitors alike.
Septemberfest kicked off Friday
evening with a showing of the children’s movie, “The Croods,” at
Rangely Junior/Senior High School.
Early Saturday, 14 runners headed to Blue Mountain for the second
annual Blue Mountain Half
Marathon. The 13.1-mile race was
won by Rangely’s Steve Green with
a time of one hour, 39 minutes. For
those wanting a shorter distance, a
5K was also offered Saturday morning and attracted more than 80 participants.
Saturday afternoon brought fun
to Elks Park as the inflatable water
slides were set up for kids and a
weightlifting competition was held
under the pavilion. Western Rio
Blanco Recreation District Director
Tim Webber stated that seeing everyone in the community come out and
spend time together at these types of
activities is “what he loves most
about Septemberfest.”
Once everyone had their fill of
water fun, the chili cook-off was set
up. Scott Hejl and Barb Chism won
Best Red as a team and Pat Harris
won Best Green and Best Overall.
The evening ended with the fifth
annual Buck ‘N’ Bulls, put on by
the CNCC Rodeo Team and
Equestrian Program. This year’s
bull riding drew a large crowd to
cheer on the 33 cowboys who
attempted to ride a full eight seconds.
The cool wet weather Saturday
gave way to a beautiful Sunday
afternoon, which began with the
annual ice cream social at the
Rangely Museum. The event drew
several hundred people to enjoy
homemade ice cream and listen to
music by Fiscus and Gravy.
Early Saturday evening, the
Rangely Fire Department helped
water the area of the old Parkview
School site to get it ready for the
Muddy Dip ‘N’ Dash obstacle
course. Many challengers of all ages
attempted the course. Ethan Allred
ran a time of 1:11 to win the men’s
division and Michelle Jones completed the course with a time of 1:26
to win the women’s competition.
When the adults were through, kids
were allowed to tackle the course,
and 10-year-old Andrew Dorris
impressed everyone with his 1:22
completion time.
After the dash, spectators turned
their attention to the Muddy Tug of
War which had three teams of five
persons competing. The Rangely
Fire District Team was able to
quickly claim the title of champion
as they dominated the other teams
with amazing speed.
Labor Day morning saw the
very-well attended Fireman’s
Pancake Breakfast. Shortly after the
breakfast, participants headed to
Main Street to watch the Star
Spangled Parade, which featured a
wide variety of entrants and all
kinds of colors and decorations.
For many, the highlight of
SEAN MCMAHON
A wide variety of ice cream flavors awaited the long lines of residents and visitors to the Rangely Museum’s ice cream social on
Sunday. Long lines persisted until the organizers ran out of ice
cream sooner than expected.
Septemberfest is the arts and crafts
fair at Elks Park on Monday.
This year’s event had 74 vendor
booths put up by locals and visitors.
The goods ranged from produce to
jewelry and everything in between.
One visiting vendor selling survival bracelets explained that he
“likes coming to Rangely because
it’s a relaxed atmosphere that allows
him to make money.”
Taking place at the same time at
Elks Park was the annual car show,
which featured more than 60 cars
from all over the area as well as a
cribbage tournament. One of the
featured attractions was a 1930
Detroit Electric car recently purchased by the Striegel family in
Wyoming. It will be remodeled and
restored as much as possible back to
its original condition, according to
Grace Striegel.
For lunch, the barbecue in Elks
Park provided a large meal for a $2
donation. The meal, which fed several hundred people, required 1,200
pounds of beef and cost the WRBM
Recreation Center approximately
$5,000.
When patrons had their fill, they
were able to head to Green Bridge
to participate in the Duck Race.
Ducks were sold by the Rangely
Senior High Student Council in
advance of the event.
To end the long holiday weekend, Rangely was treated to a free
concert by country musician
Charley Jenkins who was raised in
Eastern Utah. Jenkins has gained
popularity all over the country and
was a finalist on the hit TV show,
“Nashville Star.”

Meeker historic area as a State of
Colorado Historic District and as a
National Historic District through
the National Park Service. This
effort will stimulate heritage and

endeavors have the greatest potential for enhancing the economy of
Meeker and Rio Blanco County.
MACC officials say the public’s help is needed. MACC is providing high-quality performing

hunting rules and regulations, including wearing
at least 500 square inches of solid, daylight fluorescent orange above the waist. A fluorescent
orange head-covering that is visible from all 360
degrees is also required.
Additionally, being sure of your target can
help prevent serious accidents and lessen the possibility of shooting the wrong animal, and please
make sure you are on public land or obtain permission to hunt on private land before starting
your hunt.

Wildlife officials remind the public that the
CPW website offers a wide variety of information,
including access to hunting brochures and regional hunt guides. One of the more popular features
of the website is “Elk Hunting University,” which

Robbins adds that before heading to your preferred camping area, check with local land managers to be sure there are no last minute closures

Dessert box social a success
BUFORD I The days of box
socials and dancing on the old wooden floors of our rural schools are still
alive, thanks to the White River
Community Association, which invited the community to Buford Rural
School this past Saturday evening for
a fundraiser.
As cars began lining the country
road and families came from all over
to enjoy the old-fashioned event, the
organizers, including the Rio Blanco
County Rural School Research
Committee, were overjoyed with the
response.
They were especially happy
when the dessert box social sales garnered prices that would be significant
to the restoration of the old Coal
Creek School.
“It’s really refreshing to live in
such a generous community that can
come together for a cause and knows
how to laugh and have a good time.”
said Ellene Meece, president of the
Rio Blanco County Historical
Society.
The fun was abundant, from
sharing in the delicious cookout
under the big striped tents to enjoying the auctioneering skills of Bryce
Purkey, who kept the crowd laugh-
ing throughout the auction, to listening to the amazing voice of Dan
Seely as he re-educated a room full
of square dancers to lively square
dancing.
Some of the music included a
down home “Cotton-Eye-Joe” and
Western swing dancing to the tunes
of Dave Main and “friends.”
As the children eventually got
involved on the dance floor, one person remarked how grateful they
were for this opportunity to expose
their grandchildren to the same magical experience they enjoyed as a
child — box socials and dancing in
an old rural school.

Thursday, the Rector Science Building was officially dedicated on the Rangely campus of Colorado
Northwestern Community College. The ribbon cutting offered a twist. Peggy Rector said CNCC President
Russell George gave the job of a “scientific ribbon cutting” to Dr. Jay, CNCC’s “Science Guy.” Jay didn’t
need scissors, just sugar and oxygen, and when the flame and smoke cleared, the ribbon was gone.
About 220 people attended the barbecue and dedication. Speakers spoke of how important teamwork is
in getting a task such as this building renovation done, and Rector said that if it wasn’t for the taxpayers, it wouldn’t have been possible.
