Special to the Herald Times MEEKER I White River Electric Association (WREA) declares its primary purpose is to provide its members with safe, reliable power at the lowest cost possible; but according to board president Bill Jordan, “We strive to go beyond that and to be a val- ued member of our community.” WREA’s commitment to the Meeker community has been historically consistent and often subtle, with donations to a variety of worthy groups and projects. This summer, WREA found innovative ways to respond to the Meeker Education Foundation’s fundraising campaign for grant requests made by the district’s teachers. “Over the last few years we have challenged our staff to maintain our standards of excellence, but do it on a more conservative budget,” Jordan said. “This $10,000 donation to the Meeker Education Foundation, which is earmarked for specific projects, is a great example of how the staff exceeded our expectations.” WREA utilized unclaimed capital credit funds and pursued matching funds from Basin Electric Power Cooperative to purchase ninth grade physical science textbooks for Meeker High School (MHS), buy materials for the Barone Middle School’s new science and tech lab, purchase ceramic supplies for the MHS art program and materials for the life sci- ence department. “We basically asked them to do more with less and they have,” he said, crediting WREA’s staff with always looking out for ways to what is best for WREA and its community. At last week’s WREA annual meeting Jordan explained that the board annually pays out capital credits to the members. This year the board retired and paid out capital credits for 1997 and 1998 in the amount of $1.2 million dollars. Unclaimed capital checks go into the unclaimed capital credit account. If not utilized, these unclaimed funds could escheat to the State of Colorado after a period of time, so WREA utilizes eligible unclaimed capital credit funds to support its scholarship program and specif- ic education related donations. Jordan stated that the unclaimed capital credit fund is not huge and must be managed wisely. In this instance, $5,000 was used from the fund and the balance was received from the Basin Electric matching grant program. “We are for- tunate and thrilled to be able to utilize these funds to support Meeker’s great teachers and kids,” Jordan said. White River Electric donates $10,000 to Meeker Education Foundation By JEN HILL [email protected] RBC I Rio Blanco County Commissioners Si Woodruff and Jeff Rector gathered for their monthly Rangely meeting on Monday fol- lowed by a broadband work session. The commissioners quickly approved a license agreement with T- Mobile for access to various county- owned towers, which will allow them to place antennas on those towers. Woodruff informed the group that Reed Kelley of Meeker was nominat- ed to represent Rio Blanco County at Club 20 as a voting member. Following the regular meeting the commissioners moved into a work session about the current state of the county’s broadband internet project. The project is close to reaching a stalling point due to a lack of funds for further hook ups to homes and businesses. According to Rector the county awarded $200,000 last month to keep the program going, however that money is almost completely gone. There are currently 1,350 com- pleted hook ups, however, Rector expressed concern that they may not make the expected 1,500 in 2017. Dale Smith from Local Access Internet, an internet service provider, approached the commissioners to urge the county to further fund the project allowing for more hook ups. Smith expressed concerns that the weather would soon prevent any more hook ups and that any customers that were missed would find another provider and be lost to LAI and other locally based providers. Smith was also worried that if Colorado Fiber Community is forced to find outside funding from a source other than the county, CFC would be influenced to change approved service providers that “don’t have roots here.” Smith implored the commissioners to hold a town hall style meeting allowing locals to ask questions about the proj- ect. Blake Mobley, county IT director, told the commissioners that if the pro- gram is allowed to grow organically without a cash infusion it would be at a very slow pace, likely only adding more connections every five to six months. He also said that CFC esti- mates that they will need an addition- al $628,000 to finish hook ups. “I’m very on board with the whole broadband project. But from the time I was sworn in this has been a deal on top of another deal. Now the finger is pointing back at us,” Rector said. “We are in between a rock and a hard spot,” Woodruff said. “Give us a little time. I don’t see us reacting with an answer very quickly.” Woodruff also expressed frustration that the ini- tial plan of hooking up homes on a first come first served basis wasn’t followed through, saying, “I’m get- ting a little tired of everyone patting themselves on the back, but now we’re going to go all winter without any more (new hook ups).” The plan of first come first served was aban- doned early in the project when it was determined that it made logistical and fiscal sense to run hook ups to all of one block or area at one time before RBC commissioners discuss broadband stall COURTESY PHOTO Meeker Education Foundation chair Mary Strang and Meeker School District Superintendent Chris Selle accept a $10,000 check from the board of White River Electric Association.

Special to the Herald Times MEEKER I On the first day of fall, Sept. 23 from 1-4 p.m., everyone is invited to Coal Creek School at 617 County Road 6 (Little Beaver Road), only 5-1/2 miles from Meeker for a free barbecue lunch, music and a glimpse into the historic past of rural schools in Rio Blanco County. One hundred and twenty-five years ago on Sept. 23, 1892, at the dedicatory ball of the Coal Creek School, the participants brought desserts to share. If possible, please bring a dessert to continue this tradition. When the school was built in 1892 it had plenty of room for the horses and wagons to park on the school prop- erty. Today due to safety concerns and at the request of the sheriff’s department there will be no parking on the county roads. Parking for the celebration will be at designated areas only and we are requesting people carpool if possible. Passengers can be dropped off and picked up at the school. The school is handicapped accessible from the drop-off point. Drivers can then drive their vehicles to the designat- ed areas. Shuttles will bring the drivers back and forth to the school.

Coal Creek School celebration Saturday; free barbecue lunch By NIKI TURNER [email protected] MEEKER I There was plenty of discussion but few conclusions drawn at Tuesday’s board of trustees meet- ing. The board heard a presentation from Mark Wertheimer, associate director of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps. The organization’s mission is to engage young people in meaningful outdoor projects that develop work ethic, life skills and job skills. This past summer 15 Meeker youth partic- ipated in the program. County emergency manager Ty Gates presented a request for support for a multi-jurisdictional hazard miti- gation plan. “The plan would address natural hazards throughout the county and/or towns, if the towns decided to partici- pate,” Gates said. “Ideally FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Association) would like to see it as a multi-jurisdictional plan.” The plan would address potential catastrophic natural disasters such as flooding, wildland fires, drought, earthquakes and severe winter storms. FEMA provides grant funding to hire a contractor to write the plan, which takes 24 months to complete. The town would need to provide approxi- mately $7,000, most of that as in-kind services. “It’s a good deal considering if we did have a natural disaster it would be easier to get FEMA to come in,” said Meeker Chief of Police Phil Stubblefield. The board also heard from Town of Rangely engineer Jocelyn Mullen, who has prepared a preliminary plan to form a public asbestos abatement team. The initial expenditures for train- ing, certification and insurance are high, but having a local team in place would eventually save the towns and county money. A discussion about code enforce- ment software segued into a discus- sion about code enforcement in gener- al. “I don’t care about the software,” said trustee Scott Creecy. “I care about the code enforcement.” Town administrator Scott Meszaros said he hasn’t been given clear direction from the board to enforce all the codes, only some, including animals, weeds, junk and citizen complaints. There are many other codes on the books the town has yet to address. Other communities have full-time code enforcement officers to deal with problem, Meszaros said. Currently, the town’s building inspector works part-time on code enforcement. “No matter what town it is, code enforcement is the toughest thing to do,” Stubblefield said. The board also had a brief discus- sion about the 2018 budget, directing staff to forego the mill levy reduction that has been in place for the last seven years, which will add $21,088 to the budget. The town’s assessed valuation is down by just more than $1 million. Due to time constraints, the board agreed to hold a budget workshop Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. to answer trustees’ questions and discuss options.

Meeker celebratesHomecoming week
moving on. Former county commissioner Ken
Parsons asked about the future ofwireless service for those living out-side of town. Mobley informed himthat final sector alignments on thewireless towers would occur by endof month and first test cases shouldfollow. He also said that some of the
equipment for the project is alreadyon hand. However, Mobley said thatthe down river community is notwithin line of sight for one of theexisting towers and will require a newtower to get signal. Mobley said theyhave $600,000—half from a DOLAgrant and half from the county, specif-ically for rural towers—that must bespent by October 2018.

RBC I Meditation. Are youdoing it?
Many people are, not justbecause it’s becoming more popular,but because they’re experiencing thebenefits of it for themselves.
Meditation has been shown toreduce stress and anxiety. It alsomay promote emotional health,enhance self awareness, boost focus,help fight addictions, improve sleep,control pain, and provide an overallsense of well being.
The biggest reason most peoplebegin meditating is stress. Whenstress is unmanaged it impacts near-ly all parts of our lives in a negativeway. We aren’t as productive, ourhealth suffers, and our ability to nur-ture relationships diminishes. Wemight also experience problems
sleeping, achingm u s c l e s ,headaches, andmoodiness.
If you caneliminate someof the stress inyour life, then doit. But for thosethings that wejust have to dealwith, meditationmay be a tool
you can use to help manage daily stressors and create a more peaceful life experience.
There are many ways to medi-tate, and you can find different approaches and techniques that range anywhere from simple to com-plicated. Each technique has its place and are valuable. The fastest and easiest way to create a media-tion practice is to start with the breath. It’s simple and we all have the ability to do it.
Here is a four step breathing meditation you can start with today:
1. Exhale all the breath out, while gently pulling in your lower belly.
2. Inhale, by gently puffing outyour lower belly.
3. Continue your inhalation byopening up your ribcage andexpanding your chest.
4. Slowly exhale, starting withthe chest and exhaling completelyby gently pulling in your lowerbelly.
That’s it! Focus on your breath-ing. Thoughts will pop up, that is ok.Continually bring your attentionback to your breathing. Do this for3-5 minutes, twice a day, and youwill have a great foundation for ameditation practice.
If you’d like to learn more andexperience meditation with someoneguiding you through the process;join us Oct. 3, 10, and 24th at 6:30p.m. We will be meeting in theHugus Building, 592 Main St. Ste.1. Cost is $5 per class or $12 for allthree. Bring a yoga mat and/or med-itation cushion if you have them.Hope to see you there!
Stefanie Nielsen is a certifiedTransformation Meditation Teacherand has been personally practicingdifferent types of meditation formore than 10 years.

4A G OPINION RIO BLANCO HERALD TIMESThursday, September 21, 2017
By NIKI [email protected]
“Be honest. Look for areas whereyou can admit error and say so.Apologize for your mistakes. It
will help disarm your opponents andreduce defensiveness.” ~ DaleCarnegie
As soon as one party goes on thedefensive, positive forward progressgrinds to halt. Each side is forced tomake concessions to come to anagreement and in the end no one issatisfied with the outcome.
Carnegie’s words are wise ones toabide by in any relationship, but per-haps especially in government. Whengovernment—local or national—getsgummed up with a bunch of egos onthe defensive, we’ve got trouble,because those folks are no longer rep-resenting us, they’re looking to pro-
tect themselves. n n n
Here’s aquestion to pon-der: Isn’t some-what sexist toonly provideexamples ofproper dress code
for the girls in a community? Perhaps it’s because I raised more
boys than girls, but I can think of amyriad ways the male of the speciescan dress just as inappropriately asthe females. Perhaps not in the samehyper-sexualized sense, but still inap-propriate for the occasion.
What message are we sending toour daughters by making them out tobe the only gender guilty of wearingsubjectively inappropriate attire? Justa thought.
n n n Rangely’s Tank got more national
attention this week with an article inthe L.A. Times. For many, the Tankphenomenon seems like a new thing,but it’s been in the works for decades.Kudos to those who have stuck it outand kept the faith.
The same goes to all the peoplewho have supported the MeekerClassic all these years. The Classicwas written up by both out-of-townjudges for the Jammin’ Lamb culi-nary competition: Heidi Kerr-Schlaefer on her popular HeidiTownblog, and Aspen Times columnistBarbara Platts.
We’re always looking for the nextbig thing, but I think we need toremember today’s “big things” startedsmall: over coffee with friends, or inan abandoned water tank small-townkids once used as a party destination.

OPINION G 5Ario blaNCo herald TiMesThursday, september 21, 2017
FLOWING out of the first two quali-ties of the godly man in Psalm 37 are
three others. Third, we observe the godlyman’s cheerfulness because of his de-light in the Lord (v. 4). While the un-godly are intoxicated by the siren call ofthe flesh, the godly are illuminated by theserenade of the Word. The allurements ofthe world never satisfy, but when we de-light in God, He will give us the desires
of our heart. There is no danger here of the wrong wantsor excess in the right ones, for our desires will match His.
Fourth, we note the godly man’s commitment inthe phrase commit your way to the Lord (v. 5). Whilethis first appears to be redundant and already covered by“trust” (v. 3), commit actually goes deeper. It translates afascinating Hebrew word (gālal) that literally means “toroll,” as in rolling a stone away from the mouth of a well(Gen. 29:8). We have all heard the old expression of let-ting something “roll off our back,” and that is preciselythe image here; we can let anything roll off our back andright on to God’s. In fact, this was undoubtedly the image(and psalm, along with 55:22), that Peter had in mindwhen he wrote, “Casting all your care upon him; for hecareth for you” (1 Pet. 5:7). We roll not just “the things wecan’t handle,” rather all our worries upon Him whetherthey be devastating problems or just daily pressures.When we do this, as well as trust Him (v. 6; same wordas in v. 3), he shall bring it to pass—He will work it allout for our good and His glory.
Fifth and finally, we see the godly man’s content-ment in the words rest in the Lord, and wait patientlyfor him (v. 7). French mathematician, physicist, inventor,
writer, and Christian philosopher Blaise Pascal’s (1623–62) often quoted observation—“I have discovered that allthe unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, thatthey cannot stay quietly in their own chamber”—is an in-sightful observation indeed. While obviously true in hisday, is it not even more descriptive of our own? Seldomdoes anyone sit quietly anywhere for any reason.
David, however, goes far deeper. While he writesthat we are to rest (dāmam, to be silent, still, or motion-less), he adds in the Lord. Just sitting still is not enough.Rather, we are silent and still before Him. “Be still, andknow that I am God” (Ps. 46:10), an anonymous psalmistdeclares.
Likewise, neither is it enough simply to wait pa-tiently, David goes on to encourage, but to wait patientlyfor [God]. Wait patiently translates an interesting He-brew word (hûl) that means to whirl, shake, fear, dance,writhe, or grieve. It is used of shaking with fear (Jer. 5:22),worshiping in trembling awe (Ps. 96:9), or anxiously wait-ing, as it is here (cf. Gen. 8:10). So, no matter what ragesand shakes around us, we wait on God in anticipation ofwhat He will do.
Scriptures for Study: How do the followingverses encourage you: Psalm 27:14; Proverbs 20:22;James 5:7–11?
You are invited to worship with us at Grace BibleChurch (on the corner of 3rd and Garfield) at 10:30 A.M.each Lord’s Day, where the ministry is: “continu[ing]stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and inbreaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). Pleasevisit our website (www.TheScriptureAlone.com), whereyou will find many resources for Christian growth, in-cluding messages in MP3 media files.

Commending Meeker schoolsDear Editor:
How can a person move from“me first” to ... “it is first aboutthem and not about me”?
The Meeker School District isan inspiring example. Judging fromwhat we have experienced, ourguess would be that every morning,before their feet strike the floor,Meeker teachers say to themselves,“that I might, this day, have a posi-
tive impact on the lives of my stu-dents.” From both heart and mindcomes their commitment, energyand the strategy that prepares ourchildren for a promising future.
Privileged to observe and tosometimes participate in many ofMeeker’s classrooms, my wife andI have marveled, felt encouragedand inspired by how dedicated andtalented we have seen so many ofMeeker’s teachers and administra-tors. From kindergarten throughhigh school, teachers transcendthemselves in their classrooms.
We witnessed kindergartenteachers showing the same love totheir students they would show totheir own children. We saw elemen-tary teachers speaking simply,sometimes using rhyme and reasonto convey ideas to which childrencan more easily relate. Theseteachers, acting as both caring men-tors and as loving parents, fosteredchildren’s confidence and self-esteem.
The elementary math programis amazing. Students are taught notjust the mechanics and memoriza-tion using numbers but are helpedto better understand what the num-bers really represent. Even in sec-ond grade, students are challengedby real-life arithmetic problems.Students are encouraged to think, tobecome problem solvers, and togain confidence in their own abili-
ties. How beautiful was the sight ofa student who, on their own, hadjust reached a problem’s solution.
As former educators and nowexperienced volunteers, my wifeand I are awestruck in elementaryclassrooms, observing the energy,dedication and talent shown byMeeker teachers. As an occasionalsubstitute in elementary, middleschool and high school, I wasimpressed by the quality ofMeeker’s curriculum and the prepa-ration by the teachers. One exampleinvolved a middle school teacherwho planned to be absent coachinga sports activity. This teacher cameto school on a Sunday spendingextra hours with the substituteensuring that students wouldreceive a fairly normal day of learn-ing. Substituting at the high school,I met respectful students genuinelyeager to gain knowledge. All threeprincipals including the superin-tendent demonstrate their dedica-tion, often circulating among class-rooms to observe or to assist ifneeded. Privileged to assist teachersin the Meeker schools, we feelhopeful about the future for ourchildren and for our grandchildren.Their future looks bright.

MEEKER I The Meeker High School volleyball team continues to improve; they won two matches last week, played Rio Blanco County rival Rangely Tuesday, play in Kremmling today and host Plateau Valley Friday for Homecoming 2017. The lady Cowboys have a 7-1 record after beating the Caprock Academy Eagles in three games last Friday, then played five games against the Vail Mountain Gore Rangers before winning the match.
“Friday’s match was a great learning experience for our team,” Meeker head coach Greg Cravens said of the game in Grand Junction. “We are still building confidence in our abilities and our team, we are still working on our ball control, so we can get more people involved in our offense and we reached our serving goals with 16 aces and only eight errors.”
Kassie Luce led the team with five aces, while her twin Krissie led the team with 13 kills against the Eagles. Julia Dinwiddie finished with seven kills, four aces and two blocks, Addie Joy had three aces, while Avery Watt and Lila Klinglesmith each had two.
Saturday, against the Gore Rangers at home, the lady Cowboys had to come from behind after losing the first game, then faced defeat after winning the second game bY losing the third and falling behind in the fourth.
“Saturday’s match is exactly what the doctor ordered for this team,” coach Cravens said. “We needed to be pushed, we needed to be stressed, so we can learn to han-
dle those emotions and still play at a high level.”Meeker lost the first game 23-25 and the next three
games went into extended play to determine a winner,with the Cowboys winning the second game 26-24, losingthe third 27-29, before coming from behind to win thefourth 26-24, to push the match into a fifth game, whichMeeker won 15-11.
Kassie Luce set up the team with 45 assists against theGore Rangers and her sister spiked almost half (22) ofthem for kills, sophomore Dinwiddie finished with 12kills and sophomore classmate Caleigh Morlan had 10.Dinwiddie also had four blocks.
“Krissie and Julia are developing offensively and areboth very efficient hitters,” coach Cravens said. “Caleighis still trying to come back from an ankle injury but per-formed well against the Gore Rangers.”
Kassie Luce had 13 digs, senior Avery Watt finishedwith eight, while Dinwiddie and Lila Klinglesmith bothhad five. Watt and Klinglesmith each had received 12serves and Krissie Luce had 11.
Meeker will play a league match in Kremmlingagainst the West Grand Mustangs before its Homecomingmatch against Plateau Valley Friday.
“This week is going to be a crazy week, with all theHomecoming festivities and three matches, the girls aregoing to be busy but hopefully we can stay focused,”coach Cravens said. “The match against West GrandThursday evening will be a very good test for our team.We need to be very good at serving and passing to comehome with a very important conference victory.”

net play and serving. In the second set Rangely came out ready to play taking the second set 25-17. The ladies served well and Kassidee Brown did a great job moving the ball around to all her hitters. Rangely was ready to put the third set away when they took the court.

MEEKER I Few schools on the western slope of Colorado have high school girls’ softball teams, so many miles are traveled to play league games. The lady Cowboys recently improved their record to 9-3 after doubleheader wins against Eagle Valley and Montezuma-Cortez. Meeker will host the Basalt Longhorns in a league game for Homecoming 2017 at Paintbrush Park Friday, starting at 4 p.m.
Meeker hosted the Eagle Valley Devils and easily won the first game 12-0 after five innings of play but needed to come from behind to win the second game 20-15.
Junior Mackenzie Marshall got the win for Meeker in the first game, pitching five innings, with nine strike outs and only allowing one hit. Seniors Jasmine Patterson and Sierra Williams both had two hits, while jun-iors Victoria Lasker and Gracie Bradfield, as well as sophomore Matilda Brown, each got a hit in the first game.
Meeker trailed the Devils 8-3 after the first inning in the second game, then scored four more in the second but allowed one in the second. Both teams score two runs in the third inning and Eagle Valley scored four runs in the fourth to lead 15-10 after four innings of play. Meeker contin-ued to battle, shutting out the Devils in the fifth inning, while scoring nine
runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a 19-15 lead into the sixth inning, where they added one more.
Lasker pitched four innings and was the winning pitcher, with help from Marshall and Patterson. Bradfield led the team at the plate with five hits, while Patterson had four and junior catcher Megan Shelton had three. Kenzie Turner had two hits, as did Brown, while Lasker, Marshall and Williams all had a hit.
Meeker was supposed to host Montezuma-Cortez, who made the long trip from the southern end of the state but rain in Meeker postponed the game to Saturday and moved it to a neutral field in Rifle.
Meeker beat the Tigers 10-1 and 21-7 in the league doubleheader.

Special to the Herald Times
RBC I A study that examined11.5 million voter records betweenfive states, including Colorado,uncovered 112 instances of possibleimproper voting in the 2016 presi-dential election.
Ten people who voted inColorado are suspected of castingtwo ballots within the state, while 38people who voted in Colorado mayalso have voted in one of the otherfour states.
The states involved stopped shortof saying fraud had been committedin all of the cases, noting furtherinvestigation could reveal adminis-trative explanations. The statesselected for participation in themonths-long study were all threemail-ballot states—Colorado,Oregon and Washington—and twoneighboring polling-place states,Delaware and Maryland.
The plan to do the study camebefore allegations of voter fraud inthe presidential race, and the exten-sive research comparing voter dataamong the five states started beforethe formation of the PresidentialAdvisory Commission on ElectionIntegrity and was performed inde-pendent of the commission.
The Colorado Secretary ofState’s office is providing informa-tion about the 48 instances, alongwith other issues, such as signature
problems, to law enforcement.Conducting their own research fol-lowing the election, Colorado countyelection officials previously identi-fied a handful of the 48 cases andprovided that information to lawenforcement. The new cases will besent for investigation.
“A very small percentage of the2.9 million votes cast in Colorado inthe 2016 election look to be improp-er, but even that small numberdeserves our vigilant pursuit,”Colorado Secretary of State WayneWilliams said.
The investigation revealed possi-ble improper voting by Coloradanswho are unaffiliated, Republican,Democrat and members of minorparties.
“Colorado’s county electionadministrators continue to do an out-standing job of protectingColorado’s elections from fraud,”Williams said. “The vast majority ofthese cases involve voters who votedtwice in ways the counties could notdetect during the election. That’swhy we take post-election reviewsand prosecutions so seriously.”
At the request of law enforce-ment, the secretary of state is notreleasing the names of Coloradanswho may have improperly participat-ed in the 2016 election or the coun-ties they voted in until the investiga-tion is complete.

County ClerksAssociationstatement onvoting study
RBC I Colorado CountyClerks support and promoteevery ability to voters to exer-cise their right to vote andensure their ballot is accu-rately cast and counted. Incomparison to the millions ofvotes cast, county clerks as astandard practice refer asmall number of items post-election to the district attor-neys for investigation for pos-sible voting irregularities.Regarding the program thatthe Secretary of State con-ducted, the county electionofficials have not been pro-vided details on the referralsand there may be cases cur-rently referred to law enforce-ment at the local level. Wewill watch with interest as thiseffort progresses.
The Meeker Herald — 100 years agon Everywhere newspapers are trying to get sufficient
increase in advertising rates in order to meet conditionsand pay bills and continue publication.
