RANGELY I There has beena great deal written about BudStriegel and rightfully so. He hasdone so much for the communityof Rangely that words are notenough to express the appreciationfor his giving. His wife June hasalso served unselfishly through theyears and has an inner drive onlyequaled by her husband’s.
June moved to Rangely in 1945with her family and lived inRangely until she was in the thirdgrade. Her father worked for an oilcompany and the family moved toWyoming and Utah until returningto Rangely for June’s fifth gradeyear. She finished school inRangely, graduating in 1960.Along the way she worked for herfather at the Standard Station locat-ed where the Subway is now. Shelearned early the importance ofhard work and the ability to staybusy in a small town. She and Budwere married in October of 1960.
Bud moved to Rangely when hewas a young kid. His father startedthe business Bud now runs and is inthe process of handing down to hischildren. The W.C. StriegelCompany was started in 1945 andBud took it over in 1976. The busi-ness has installed pipelines, builtroads to well pads and providedmaintenance for those projectsthrough the years.
Bud’s father said, “every 20years there is a boom,” but he man-aged—as Bud has— to maintain aconsistent business for nearly 70years. The business under Bud’sfather employed 50-60 people yearround and now has approximately135 on the payroll. They haveemployed many of Rangely’s youngmen and have always believed ingiving back to the community.
They helped construct the bikepath to the Kenney Reservoir Dam,built a shooting range for CNCC,helped build Columbine Park, con-structed the Rock Park on the eastend of town, helped with the con-struction of Eagle Crest, built thecarport at Radino, worked on
Cedar Ridges Golf Course, helpedsupport the Rangely Museum,helped with the Field of Dreamsbaseball field, the softball fields atCNCC, supplied dirt work for thenew hospital project and made atremendous donation to the engi-neering department at CNCC.They are very active in so manyaspects of the community and Budenjoys Christmas giving above all.
June worked in a doctor’soffice for nearly 15 years after herchildren started school and had Jand J Embroidery for about fiveyears. She has served on theRangely Chamber of Commerce,been a girl scout and boy scoutleader, was an EMT and drove theambulance over Douglas Pass onseveral occasions. She drove thesenior bus, has helped withSeptemberfest and other communi-ty activities, and was in EpsilonSigma Alpha. It is safe to say thatwhatever came along, she waseager to help and gave freely of hertime and effort.
In 1993 the couple boughtCampbell Creek Ranch on CountyRoad 8. They allow people theopportunity to get married in abeautiful environment for the costof a 3x5 photo, an invitation to thewedding and a bag of fish food or atree. This is a service that evolvedafter the first couple got married onthe ranch, Ken and Janine Myers.Word spread about the picture-per-fect location and today the ranch isbooked at least a year in advance,accommodating more then 100weddings since 1993. The familyenjoys the ranch and sharing it withothers. Bud and his grandsonKellen built a thriving fish pondcomplete with a man-made water-fall, along with engineering the restof the property.
Through the years their tremen-dous giving has not gone unno-ticed. Most recently, Bud was hon-ored in Washington D.C. at theCouncil for ResourceDevelopment Benefactors awardsbanquet for his contributions toColorado NorthwesternCommunity College. His mostrecent and substantial contribution
was $1 million for the renovationof the W.C. Striegel EngineeringCenter. The Striegels have estab-lished the W.C. Striegel scholar-ship foundation, the Striegel BookScholarship fund and other schol-arships for students who plan toattend CNCC after graduation.
Bud and June have helpedfacilitate nearly every facet of thecommunity of Rangely and do sobecause they want to give back tothe town that they feel has been sogood to them.
“He can’t say no to anyone,”Bud’s daughter Teri said. Bud has avision of what needs to be doneand simply does it. The key is thathe gives unconditionally to thecommunity he loves.
Bud and June have three chil-dren: Teri (Vance) Wilczek, Deven,and Eric. They have five grandchil-dren and five great-grandchildren.June takes care of her great-grand-son Colton on Tuesdays and doesher best to “wear him out.”
They live next door to theirbusiness and Bud says, “I still walkto work everyday.” Claims havebeen made that he is trying to retirebut his work ethic suggests other-wise.
June is also a quilter. She drivesto Grand Junction from time totime to complete her projects andhas a house there to avoid latenight travel. She won the countyfair with one of her quilts.
They take many opportunitiesto get their family together,whether to attend the local CrabCrack or CNCC Foundation din-ners or other community events.
The total sum of their mone-tary, labor, time, equipment andheartfelt contributions have helpedmake Rangely what it is today.They have seen many changes overthe years, but they are proud to callRangely their home.
“We like being here, and thepeople,” June said. They like com-ing over the hill from either direc-tion and knowing they are home.
Married for 52 years, the duohas gone above and beyond for thebetterment of society. Rangely isfortunate to have such fine citizens.

June and Bud Striegel have owned the Campbell Creek Ranch northeast of Meeker since 1993.Since then, more than 100 weddings have taken place at the site, for the price of a wedding invita-tion, a photo, and fish food for the pond or a tree to plant. It’s just one example among many of theStreigel’s continuing generosity, kindness and philanthropy.

RBC I Rio Blanco County com-missioners passed a resolution dur-ing their regular meeting Mondaylast designating Nancy Amick theelection official and they authorizedthe county clerk and recorder to con-duct the June 26, primary election bymail ballot.
Amick told commissioners morethan 50 percent of registered votersin Rio Blanco County have regis-tered to get their ballots by mail.
“It will save the county 55 per-cent of the election costs of a pollingplace election,” Amick said.
There are more than 2,890 regis-tered voters — including republi-
cans, democrats and unaffiliated vot-ers — in Rio Blanco County. Amicksaid 1,484 have signed up for mailballots. With more than 50 percent ofthe voters requesting mail ballots,Amick said it “makes sense” to havea mail ballot election, from whichmore returns are usually received.
Amick said the primary electionwas “bumped up quite a bit” fromAugust to June because of a Federallaw requiring complete ballots bemailed to troops serving overseas atleast 45 days prior to a general elec-tion.
The only local election is for twocounty commissioner seats. KenParsons has served two terms andChristine Brasfield and Jon Hill haveannounced their intentions of run-
ning for his seat. Kai Turnerannounced at the recent republicancaucus his desire to seek a secondterm and Jeff Eskelson hasannounced he will challenge for theincumbent’s seat.
The Rio Blanco County republi-can general assembly will be heldMarch 10 in Rangely at ColoradoNorthwest Community College inthe Colorado Room, starting at 2p.m.
A public hearing for a special usepermit (SUP) and certificate of des-ignation for Western Gravel LLC forthe operation of a solid waste dispos-al facility was postponed. The plan-ning commission continued its Feb.9 hearing on the matter until March8, awaiting further information.

MEEKER I Pioneers HealthcareFoundation (PHF) awarded a$10,000 grant to Pioneers MedicalCenter on Jan. 19 to assist with thepurchase of a medication dispensarymachine (Pyxis). The Pyxis machinewill be used in the pharmacy depart-ment to ensure patient safety andminimize medication errors.
In December 2011, PioneersHealthcare Foundation received its501c3 status as an official not-for-profit foundation. The mission andvision of Pioneers HealthcareFoundation is to develop and stewardphilanthropic resources to help meetthe healthcare needs of eastern RioBlanco County.
As a 501c3, PHF was able toapply, and was awarded a grant fromthe Colorado Grand Foundation*.This put PHF in a position to be ableto share the grant with PMC.
“We are excited to see the visionof the PHF board start to come tolife.” said Trina Zagar-Brown, chair-man of the Pioneers HealthcareFoundation board. “PHF is commit-ted to implementing strategies thatwill give our community the financialresources for sustainable, qualityhealthcare for our residents.”
PHF was formed in June 2011.“We are excited to thank the ini-
tial donors to PHF, White RiverElectric Association, Brooks andBrooks, LLC and Ken and LeslieHarman,” said Margie Joy, PHFexecutive director. “These donationsare huge in ‘kick-starting’ the fund-
ing for the variety of PHF programs.”The foundation is focusing
resources around many communityoutreach programs that will assist ourlow-income, senior and uninsuredresidents. Key program areas areMeals on Wheels, Marvine RanchCancer Screening Program, MeekerStreaker, the Scholarship Grow YourOwn Program, and the Kris BorchardStrive for Excellence Scholarship.
During December PHF spon-sored the 2011 Share the Light, TreeLighting and Fireworks event. Fundsraised during this event directly sup-ported the Kris Borchard Strive forExcellence Scholarship Fund, toassist area residents pursuing health-care careers. The funds will be usedto offset education costs beyond theassociate and bachelor’s degree lev-els, e.g. medical or nursing school.
“The community support hasbeen overwhelming, and we areexcited to share that more than$9,800 was raised.”
Additional sponsors of the eventwere the White River ElectricAssociation, Meeker RecreationCenter, Rio Blanco County andMeeker Fire Department.

Facility needsassessment underwayDear Editor:
In last week’s (Feb. 9, 2012)“Letters to the Editor,” Mrs.Whiteman asked a valid question, onethat deserves a straight and directanswer.
Pioneers Medical Center is in themiddle of completing a facility needsassessment. The PMC Board ofDirectors is weighing all of the “prosand cons” to remodeling the existing
facility or building a new facility on avacant lot. In this process, we arebeing very diligent in our fact finding.Although, we do not have an answeron the location; what we do know andcan say with confidence is that:
a) A major hospital improvementor even a total hospital replacementwill be done using existing revenuesand PMC will not be going to the vot-ers for any new tax dollars.
b) As PMC implements thisprocess we will be transparent, allowfor community involvement, and
share our key findings and decisions.Thank you for your awareness
and involvement. I encourage andwelcome any questions or suggestionsabout this process, or ideas tostrengthen healthcare in our commu-nity.
Sincerely,Ken Harman
Pioneers Medical CenterCEO
Republican Precinct 3Caucus
Dear Editor:Last week at the Republican
Precinct 3 Caucus the following reso-lution was introduced and passed: “Beit resolved that the Precinct 3Republican caucus supports the pas-sage of an amendment to theColorado constitution to guaranteethat the right to life applies equally toall innocent persons at every stage ofdevelopment.”
I am very happy to report that theresolution did pass, if only by twovotes. Later that week an acquain-tance of ours, who had also attendedthe caucus, commented on the smallmargin saying that he had seen similarresolutions passed by much widerones in other precincts.
Undoubtedly, there are many rea-sons folks are reluctant to pass thesekinds of resolutions or to vote forthings like the Colorado PersonhoodAmendment. Here, I would like totake a moment to examine two of themost common ones that I run across.
First objection: “We simply can-
not tell if life begins at conception.”Now think about what this statementis actually saying. It is really sayingtwo things: life might begin at con-ception or it might not. That this sortof agnosticism is very problematicand can be seen by the followingillustration. Suppose for a momentyou were involved in the demolitionof a high-rise building, and that youwere going to use high explosives toaccomplish most of the work.Suppose also that at just the momentyou are about to press the button andimplode the structure a coworker runsin and says, “I think there might besomeone left in the building!” Sowhat do you do? Do you proceed, ordo you wait until you find out if thebuilding is occupied or not? I thinkmost folks will agree that the onlysafe and ethical thing to do is to wait.The same logic applies to the objec-tion presented above. Allowing forabortion because we cannot tell whenlife begins is also allowing that wemight be killing someone by it. By
our own admission, we simply do notknow.
Second objection: “A woman isfree to do what she wants with herown body.” At first, this seems like avery reasonable objection, but onreflection, it is clear that even societydoes not allow that a person is free todo anything they like with ‘their ownbody.’ For instance, sanctions againstsuicide are commonplace in most cul-tures. However, in light of the rebuttalof objection one (above) it should beclear that, at least in theory (if not infact), we are talking about the bodiesof two persons. While it may beargued that mom can do what shelikes with her body, no one that Iknow of would allow that she can dowhat she likes with someone else’s.
We are all very concerned aboutour personal freedoms. Yet how canwe decry the violation or removal ofour own personal freedoms if we arenot willing to extend to the most help-less that which we want for our-selves? In good conscience, we sim-ply cannot.

“keeping the peace.” In my opinionthat means to watch over people, theirplaces and their things, and to stopcrimes that are being committedagainst us. For most of us “law-abid-ing citizens” that brings a certainamount of peace and security.
Fire marshals and fire inspectorsnot only look at fires’ aftermath, butalso go to buildings housing multiplefamilies, hospitals, retirement homes,hotels, motels, etc., to see if the struc-tures are meeting the fire codes thathave been established by professionalfire fighting people along with engi-neers who are trained in this area.These people are enforcing fire pre-vention laws that if followed can savecountless lives, and millions of dollarsof damages.
Only those people who reallydon’t care about anyone other thanthemselves, short-sighted, greedy,selfish, heartless people, are thosewho rise up in anger against profes-sionals who are just doing their jobsin serving and protecting us. Thesepeople only care about cost, time andthe “all American ideal” of NOBODYTELLS ME WHAT TO DO!
Well, folks, we need to get overthis idea, because there are peopletrained in areas that most of us aren’ttrained in that need to TELL USWHAT TO DO so that what we aredoing won’t be a danger to us or any-one else.
Now, the point. The Rio BlancoCounty Building Department is oneof those agencies that is charged withserving and protecting us, from our-selves and from others. The buildingcodes are for our protection. Buildinginspectors look at what we want to doand from this rule book, which all ofAmerica has to go by, allow us to dowhat we want or have us makechanges to protect us from ourselves.This is not rocket science! The build-ing code is not just for us, but forthose who come after us, who buy ourhouses, buildings, etc. if we sell or ifwe die, who might live in them afterwe are gone.
These officials, when approachedin a calm manner, bend over back-wards to try to help us do what wewant. The building officials look atthings that could fall on us if not doneproperly, like roofs, drywall on ceil-ings, walls not fastened, things thatwe might trip on and fall, like stepsthat are too high and too low,handrails that aren’t the right height,things that buildings sit on i.e., foun-dations, etc, that might move causinglots of damage and monetary lossamong other things. They look atplumbing and heating to see if all theconnections are made properly andwith the proper material so that thechance of failure is less, thereby sav-
ing us money from water damage orgas leaks that could cause explosionsthat could take lives, or carbonmonoxide leaks that lead to loss oflife. They look at building systemsand how they go together and look tosee if we are following the manufac-turer’s directions. They also look atengineered drawings to see if thedrawings meet the established codesfor Rio Blanco County. Another jobthat they have is to make sure that theinterests of Rio Blanco County areprotected from being run over by peo-ple who are used to getting their ownway.
I have nearly 35 years in the dry-wall business. When I was in Denver,the inspectors that inspected the dry-wall nailing patterns followed the rulebook, set down by the drywall manu-facturers and incorporated in thebuilding code. The inspector’s jobwas to inspect to see if the job wasdone properly and if it was, then signoff and if it wasn’t, fail me until cor-rections had been made. This wastheir job! If I chose to get mad atthem for doing their job, then whowas the fool?
To those who want to change theregulations, consider why you want tochange them. Is it for the good of allthe people or is it just so you don’thave to do what you are supposed todo or what is best for you. More thanone time the chief building official,Jeff Kummer, has expressed to methat if I wanted to have the codechanged and Rio Blanco Countychanged the code, he would be morethan happy to enforce the change.
It’s funny, but all the years that Ihave lived in Meeker, people havecomplained more to me about the RioBlanco County building inspectors,who are doing their job of serving andprotecting, than the Sheriff’sDepartment, Meeker PoliceDepartment and the State Patrol com-bined. Just something to ponder.
One last thing, if we do away withthe building department, will banksloan us money on our constructionprojects when there is no certificate ofoccupancy? Will insurance companiesinsure our homes and businesseswithout a certificate of occupancy?And guess who issues the certificatesof occupancy?

OPINION � 5ARIO BLANCOHERALD TIMESThursday, February 16, 2012
Last time we began our applicationof what it means to have a biblical world-view.As we noted, there is a whole gamutof things we could examine, but in thisfinal installment we will submit just twothat will illustrate how we should put thisprinciple into practice.
First, modern psychology immedi-ately comes to mind. Now, we are not re-
ferring here to true biblical counseling, which relies onScripture alone for diagnosis and remedy. Rather we aretalking about the man-centered, humanistic philosophy thatunderlies modern thought. There are few things in today’sworld, in fact, that are as openly anti-God and anti-Scrip-ture as this, but still Christianity has bought into it. Oh,many have tried to sanitize and Christianize it by sprin-kling it with Bible verses, but that does not change its un-derlying philosophy. There is no better illustration than oneof the core emphases of modern psychology, namely, thecentrality of “self-esteem,” a philosophy diametrically op-posed to Scripture (Mk. 8:34; Rom. 1:25; 12:3; Phil. 2:3; 2Tim. 3:1–2; Jas. 4:6; etc.).
In an eye-opening article that appeared in severalnewspapers, including conservative weekly The Washing-ton Times, well-known secular psychologist, parenting ex-pert, and syndicated columnist John Rosemond reveals thefacts about “self-esteem.” He first describes how this ap-proach was hatched back in the 1960s, “that high self-es-teem is a good thing and parents should do all in theirpower to make sure their children acquire it.” It didn’t mat-ter, he goes on to say, that there was “absolutely no empiri-cal evidence . . . to support this claim,” but that it “soundedgood” and “was easy to market.”
Rosemond then goes on to show that the real evidenceis now in. “People with high self-regard, the evidence says,possess low regard for others . . . seek to manipulate others. . . [and] tend to antisocial behavior. People incarcerated inmaximum security prisons have very high self-regard, forexample.” He then convincingly submits, “Self-esteemdoesn’t pass the common-sense test either. Would yourather be employed by, work alongside, be close friendswith or be married to a person with high self-esteem or aperson who is humble and modest? See what I mean?”(www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/12/rosemond-high-self-esteem-for-kids-a-sham/).
The underlying philosophy of Scripture, however, isnot self-esteem, but Christ-esteem.When the church as awhole swallowed the self-esteem bait hook, line, andsinker—along with all the accompanying trappings of psy-chology—it jettisoned a biblical worldview. How did Jesusor Paul minister effectively without such modern thinking?On the contrary, they used Scripture alone. Any compro-mise with modern psychology immediately and fundamen-tally denies the sufficiency of Scripture. The two are oiland water. Psychology, like philosophy, has no answers,only more questions. God alone has the answers. BiblicalCounseling—which is one of the responsibilities of a pas-tor as he shepherds the flock—is essential, but when wemix it with humanistic thought, we have abandoned a bib-lical worldview.
Second, as we have alluded to, most of today’s churchministry is clearly not based upon a biblical worldview. Itis, in fact, based upon several other worldviews, dependingupon which false teacher you listen to.
Today’s prosperity teachers are a prime example. Theytell us that if we give to God (which means, of course,sending your money to the teacher himself), God will re-turn our “investment” and make us rich. Such teaching isbuilt upon a materialistic worldview.
Another example is the “seeker-sensitive” movement,which appeals to people’s “felt needs.”A “felt need” issimply anything a person perceives as a need, regardless ofwhat the real need is, which is always truth. “Seekers” arealso referred to as the “unchurched” and are appealed tothrough entertainment and other fleshly methods. While itmight seem a little harsh to say so, it is an inescapable con-clusion that this reflects a hedonistic worldview.
Another graphic example is that of the EmergentChurch movement, which rejects all certainty. It dismissesthe possibility of a sure and settled knowledge of truth. Infact, to say that we can know anything for sure is actuallyarrogant to Emergent leaders, who are obviously deeplycommitted to a relativistic worldview.
So, as is unambiguously clear, not one of those things,or others we could list, is committed solely and exclusivelyto Scripture. Their proponents do not think, react, andchoose biblically, and it is this that is at the root of theproblems in the church today.
AFinal EncouragementThere are certainly many other things we could exam-
ine, and we could even do so in a series of articles. It mightbe better, however, to just leave the matter here and alloweach of us to examine other things on our own. The first es-sential, as we’ve seen, must be to recognize that all such is-sues go far beyond just “proof texts,” that such things arenot just “up for grabs” and open to each person’s opinionor preference. To have a biblical worldview means that thewhole of Scripture—its precepts, precedents, and princi-ples—weighs in on every subject.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, thissubject has been bothering me for quite awhile, for I fearthat instead of a biblical worldview, many have a worldlybiblical view; that is, instead of approaching everything inlife through the lens of Scripture, they approach Scripturethrough the lens of the world. Or to say it another way, in-stead of Scripture molding their thinking toward the world,they force Scripture to conform to the image of the world.We all will be guilty of this at some time or another, so itcalls for vigilance and courage.
Let us each, therefore, ask ourselves a few probingquestions: Is my claim of a biblical worldview a reality orjust rhetoric? Do I really have a biblical worldview, orhave I combined it with elements of one or more otherviews? Do I have instead a “worldly biblical” view? HaveI truly hid God’sWord in my entire being for the purposeof shielding me from any of the world’s views and the con-sequences of those views?Are the first words that form inmy mind when any attitude, action, issue, subject, ques-tion, or problem (in short, anything) arises, “What saith theScripture?” (Rom. 4:3; Gal. 4:30). As Christian philoso-pher and apologist Francis Schaeffer challenges us:
“As Christians we are not only to know the rightworld view, the world view that tells us the truth of what is,but consciously to act upon that worldview so as to influ-ence society in all its parts and facets across the wholespectrum of life” (How Should We Then Live? [Fleming H. Revell,1976], 256).

OBITUARY
Sarah Elizabeth KathrynDelaney Amick passed away at herhome on Feb. 12, 2012, at age 97.She was born on April 13, 1914, toher pioneer parents, James and AnneCarbrey Delaney on their ranch nearMcAndrews west of White RiverCity (near County Road 5 andHighway 64). She was the eldest ofthree children, including her brotherWilliam Robert Delaney and heryounger sister Claire Delaney.Elizabeth was named in honor of hergrandmother Sarah Durkin Delaneywho, with her grandfather John, alsohad a ranch home in that area.
One of her favorite stories waswhen Ute Chief Colorow visited hergrandmother Sarah’s home carryinga freshly killed deer which he soldto her for $1 and her grandmothercooked the venison. They developeda close and friendly relationship andinvited the Utes to stay and sharemeals and the Ute women provideda goat and lambs for the Delaneychildren as there were very fewwhite settlers in that area at the time.Elizabeth met Chief Colorow’sgreat-granddaughter at the Meekerpowwow in 2007 and shared thatstory with her.
Elizabeth attended school inWhite River City and later inMeeker with her brother Bob andsister Claire where they stayed at ahome at Fourth and Water streetsduring school days. On weekendsthey would return to the ranch homeat McAndrews, riding down on themail stage. Since their home was onthe opposite side of the White River,it was necessary to walk across anarrow cable bridge to reach theroad and was often risky crossingduring high water.
An avid horsewoman, Elizabethenjoyed riding and herding cattlewith her father and often would askto join her father in deference tostaying home and doing housework.Her father James was killed in atragic horse team accident in 1935and her mother later supported thefamily by teaching school.
Elizabeth was graduated fromRio Blanco County High School withthe class of 1932 and was the last sur-viving member of her class. She wasunited in marriage to Morris HenryAmick following her high school
graduation on July 4, 1932, and livedon the Amick Ranch owned byMorris’ father J.D. Amick. To thisunion were born two children, RobertDean on July 27, 1943, and SandraIrene born Dec. 17, 1944. The AmickRanch was located on County Road8, just south of the K-T ranch.
As members of the “GreatestGeneration” Elizabeth and Morrislived on very meager means duringthe Great Depression with a monthlywage of $27. World War II broughtsimilar hardships, but in the 1940sthey were able to purchase the ranchfrom J.D. Amick. They later pur-chased the Clark place with about2000 acres on Little Beaver andraised dry land wheat, barley andalfalfa. The cattle operation involvedseasonal ranch workers and cowboysto manage cattle on a permit nearRipple Creek during the summers.Russ and Myrtle Harp and June andOma Graham were among the poolriders who served in those roles inthe 1950s. Elizabeth designed anavant-garde ranch kitchen with knot-ty pine cabinetry and counters builtby Glenn Glasgow, and installed oneof the first electric dishwashers andelectric stoves.
Family gatherings for Christmas,Thanksgiving, July 4 picnics andmuch more were favorite activitiesin both Meeker and GlenwoodSprings. Elizabeth delighted in rid-ing horseback on a sidesaddle in theannual Fourth of July Range Callparade in her black velvet ridinghabit and feathered hat depictingpioneer women of yesteryear. Shefrequently rode at the ranch and oncattle drives, and continued herenthusiasm for riding while a sorori-ty house director in Boulder. Shewas a member of the Meeker SaddleClub and enjoyed square dancing atthe Mesa Schoolhouse. She was alifelong member of the Rio BlancoCounty Stockgrower’s Associationand served as president of theCowbelles association for cattle-women on several occasions. Sheworked closely with the SoilConservation District and Women’sClub on the School Conservationposter contests with Kay Bivens andPhyllis Lake.
During those years Elizabethwas renowned for being a communi-
ty service activist and advocate, andserved in many roles as a memberand president of the FortnightlyClub, the Meeker Women’s Cluband Mesa Club. She worked activelyto promote the building of theMeeker Public Library as part of theMeeker Women’s Club efforts in theFairfield Community Center. Shewas also a Moffat district and statepresident, and chair of internationalaffairs of the Colorado GeneralFederation of Women’s Clubs. Shewas honored to represent the GFWCat state and national conventions andwas a delegate to the U.S. StateDepartment where she learned ofmany important developmentsincluding those of the emergence ofterrorist activities in the middle eastthat eventually resulted in the 9/11tragedies.
Elizabeth also chaired theMinnie L. Harding scholarship fundwith the GFWC. She was a CubScout den mother, a BluebirdCampfire Girl leader, a 4-H leaderfor the electric and dressmakingclubs and attended state 4-H conven-tions with her children. She visitedthe 1960 Boy Scout NationalJamboree at Colorado Springs whereher son Robert was an Explorer andEagle Scout. She was credited withstarting the Meeker School Lunchprogram at the elementary school in1949 while serving as president ofthe Fortnightly Club and of theParent-Teacher Association. BeforeMeeker had a swimming pool,Elizabeth drove local children to theGlenwood Hot Springs Pool for RedCross swimming lessons severaltimes per week in the summers. Shewas an avid member and historianwith the Rio Blanco CountyHistorical Society for many years,contributing to the wealth of knowl-edge recorded from conversationswith her pioneering parents and herAunt Mary Delaney Oldland, whohad settled in the White River Cityarea in 1884. She was instrumentalin the drive to build PioneersHospital and served as a Red Crosshome nursing instructor and first aidinstructor for many years in thecommunity, teaching first aid andhome health care to many Meekermothers and others.
Elizabeth was a lifelong member
of the Democratic party and servedas a precinct committee woman, aswell as attending state democraticconventions with her friend PhyllisWigington. In 1956 and in 1960 sheserved as a delegate and was fortu-nate to meet candidates AdlaiStevenson and President John. F.Kennedy. President Kennedy senther a personal letter thanking her forher support of his campaign in 1960which she treasured for years.Elizabeth was privileged to meetEleanor Roosevelt at local recep-tions when she visited her son Elliotat their rolling R Ranch near Buford.
Elizabeth was an active memberof Holy Family Catholic Parishsince childhood and served on theAltar and Rosary Society and theDenver Archdiocesan Council ofCatholic Women and the GlenwoodSprings Deanery. The first CatholicMass in Meeker was celebrated atthe John and Sarah Delaney ranch in1894. Elizabeth was honored to trav-el to Denver for World Youth Day in1993 where she met Pope John PaulII. While living in GlenwoodSprings, Elizabeth was a member ofSt. Stephen’s Catholic parish.
The Amick ranch was sold in1966 and Elizabeth purchased herpresent home at 789 Fourth St. inMeeker from the Marshall Steenfamily. Her favorite car was a verysporty 1967 Buick Riviera with allthe features, and she was sometimesreferred to as “Auntie Mame” by herfraternity and sorority students andby her family for her fearless, cre-ative and daring approach to life andwas an inspiration to the many youthwhose lives she touched. She trans-ported her daughter Sandy’s favoritemare Nicky Deuce to Colorado StateUniversity so she could enjoy ridingwhile attending the university.
Elizabeth was invited to becomea house director for several fraterni-ties and sororities at the Universityof Colorado at Boulder between1968 and 1978 by her friend AgnesFredericks. Her son Robert wasgraduated from the university andwas employed there, so Elizabethwas able to be close to family duringthose years while still summering inMeeker and Glenwood Springs andmaintaining her rental properties inMeeker. Elizabeth served as house
director with two fraternities andwith Alpha Omicron Pi Sorority andlater the Kappa Kappa GammaSorority which was her final tenurebefore retiring and returning toGlenwood Springs in 1978 whereshe lived for 27 years in the ManorII Apartments built by her brotherRobert. In Glenwood Springs sheenjoyed being involved in social andcommunity service activities withher sister-in-law Connie Delaneyand her brother Robert, and theirchildren, Rob, Diane and Ralph. Shewas a member of the Valley ViewHospital Auxiliary and enjoyedmany other community activities.
As a descendant of a pioneer andfully Irish family lineage, a highlightof her life was a two-week tour ofher ancestral family origins inIreland in 1968 with her son Robert.She kissed the Blarney Stone atBlarney Castle wearing a red dressand rode a horse cart to the famedLakes of Killarney, and was rowedby boat across the lakes to a beauti-ful Irish village and cottages withred roses.

MEEKER I The Meeker Cowboys registered acome from behind 41-40 victory over the PaoniaEagles on Friday night, then secured their leaguechampionship Saturday against the Soroco Rams 73-40. The Cowboys still have two league games leftthis weekend — Rangely at home and West Grand inKremmling — but regardless of the outcome ofthose contests, the Cowboys have clinched firstplace.
Friday night in Meeker the Cowboys got a tasteof what it’s like to play on a big stage. Having justbeen treated to a rousing game where the LadyCowboys staged a thrilling fourth quarter comebackonly to fall short against the state’s number tworanked girls’ team, the fans were eager for a Cowboyvictory.
Whether it was the packed gym, the noise level,or Paonia’s “nothing to lose” game plan, the ‘Pokesfound themselves in a dogfight early. The Cowboysfell behind quickly as the visiting Eagles jumped outto a 14-10 first quarter lead. Meeker fared no betterin the second quarter as Paonia increased their leadwith a 14-7 quarter. Meeker was unable to capitalizeon their shots, and Paonia was consistently out-rebounding the Cowboys to limit any possibility ofsecond chance points. At the end of the first half,Meeker found themselves in a bit of a hole, down28-17.
As has been their mode of operation lately, a sec-ond half adjustment and a tenacious defensive effortin the third quarter got the ‘Pokes back into thegame. Meeker’s 13-3 third quarter set up the finalstanza with the Cowboys down by one 31-30.Another good defensive quarter and some timelybaskets by Cooper Smith, Scott Smith and TreyMorris provided the home crowd with the Cowboys’11th consecutive victory 41-40. Cooper Smith led all
scorers with 18, while Trey Morris contributed nine.Saturday in Oak Creek, shades of the night
appeared as the Cowboys again had difficulty findingthe range. Soroco kept pace with the Cowboys toclose the first quarter down by four, 14-10. CooperSmith then unleashed a scoring barrage in the secondquarter with 13. Morris hit crucial back-to-back threesand Meeker was in command at halftime 37-20.
Another good defensive quarter and 20 offensivepoints pushed the Cowboys’ margin up to 30 pointsafter the third quarter 57-27. Meeker scored 16 morein the final period to seal the victory 73-40. For thegame, Cooper Smith was high with 20 and TreyMorris was consistent again with 14.
Meeker will host Rangely on Friday for the lasthome game of the season and will travel toKremmling on Saturday to take on the always toughMustangs of West Grand.
According to Colorado Preps, Meeker is nowrated fifth in the state. This weekend’s victoriesalong with losses by Limon and Ignacio pushed theCowboys up two positions. According to the Preps,the state rankings are as listed.

RANGELY I Panther senior Mason Fortunato hittwo clutch free throws with less than three seconds toplay to give his team a one point victory (63-62) over theDragons Friday last in DeBeque. The Panthers, who havebeen battling sickness the past couple of weeks, were nothealthy enough to beat the Plateau Valley Cowboys thefollowing day. Rangely will now finish the regular sea-son on the road, playing in Meeker Friday and in PaoniaSaturday, before the first round of the district tournamentstarts next Tuesday.
“The game in DeBeque was a lot closer than Iwould’ve liked it,” head coach Eric Hejl said. “We’vebeen battling sickness for the last two weeks with ourentire team and that left us missing some key players.Cameron (Enterline) didn’t make the trip, and Connor(Phelan) and Chas (Byerly) tried to give it a go butweren’t effective.”
The Panthers trailed 14-17 after the first quarter andmatched the Dragons’ 18 points in the second period totrail by three at halftime.
“It was a physical game with a lot of fouling anddefensively it seemed like we were a step slow,” Hejlsaid. “We found ourselves in a dog fight that we reallyhadn’t expected but thanks to a few key plays down thestretch, we were able to sneak out with a win.”
Hejl said “Cory (Evans) hit a couple of big shots fromthe outside and Colt Allred was able to finish a couple ofbuckets on the interior in the fourth quarter.”
Hejl said the game came down to Fortunato “hittingtwo clutch free throws with 2.8 second left to give us aone point lead that ended up being the difference in thegame.
“Although the game didn’t go exactly how we envi-sioned it, a win is a win and I’ll take it even if it was a lit-tle ugly,” coach Hejl said.
David Contreras led the Panthers with 18 points,Evans had 13 and Kody Denny finished with 12. EthanPeacock scored eight, while Fortunato and Allred eachadded six.
Hejl said his team was a little healthier Saturday but“there were undoubtedly still some lingering effects fromthe sickness we’d been battling.”
“Cameron and Connor once again tried to give it a go
but it was obvious that their legs still weren’t quitethere,” Hejl said.
Hejl said the Panthers came out to play in the firsthalf, leading 20-19 after the first quarter and tied at 39 athalftime.
“We got some good contributions from Mason andCory in the first half,” Hejl said. “Cory Evans was 2-for-2 from two point range and 3-for-3 from “beyond the arcand really gave us the boost we needed to keep the gamewithin reach, going into the second half,” Hejl said. “Iknew we were going to have to buckle down defensivelyin the second half if we wanted to have a chance, butunfortunately we weren’t able to get it done. Fatigue setin as we got into the fourth quarter and the Panthers lost67-83.”
Denny and Evans both finished with 16 points,Fortunato scored 14 and Peacock finished in double fig-ures with 10.
“I was pleased with the effort on Saturday but it stillstings to let a game slip away when you know that youwere completely capable of getting it done,” Hejl said.
Panthers win one, lose one
