Itlooks at the potential impact of thisanticipated development and proposesvarious options for mitigating thoseimpacts.Oil and natural gas development isimportant to this area — BLM estimatesthat development within theWhite River Field Office alone duringthe next 20 years could result in 8,000new jobs in northwestern Colorado.But also vitally important are thearea’s wildlife and environmentalresources.With most of the area alreadyleased, BLM’s task is to find innovativeways for managing this increasingdevelopment while minimizingUP AND DOWN EL RIO BLANCOBuckle upPersonally I remember pledgingto wear my seatbelt at all timesbefore it was the law and beforemy daughter was born in 1983. Iadmit not always keeping mypledge over the years but rarelyhave I broken it, especially in thepast seven years, because I haveseen the consequences.Vivid images appeared in mymind earlier this week when someoneasked me if I had heard aboutthe condition of a teenage girl, whorolled her car and was ejected fromthe vehicle. Even though the personasking the question said thegirl was going to be all right, Icould not get the images out of myimpacts to wildlife and other sensitiveresources.BLM has worked hard with itscooperators to develop a range ofalternatives for this management.Now we are asking the public toweigh-in on the four alternativesdetailed in this plan, which examine arange of development scenarios from550 new multi-well pads to about2,550 new multi-well pads.Although we have identified a preferredalternative, the entire range ofalternatives is on the table, and ourfinal choice will likely be a blend ofmore than one alternative discussed.Public comment on the alternativesplays a large role in what we ultimatelydecide, so I encourage you totake a look at the plan. Specific commentsare the most effective. Tell uswhat you like and don’t like in eachalternative, and why.

Thanks to Tom Allen and his mighty band of volunteers,it did not spread to the garage and then the house. OfficerJim Amick, who was first on the scene, removed the gas bottles~ one of which was full, and wet down the roof of the garagewhich was only ten feet away.

Box 720, Meeker, CO 81641-0720© 2012 Freeman Publications, Inc.■ Dr. J.D.WatsonThe fearless prophet Jeremiah thunderedin his day: Thus saith the LORD,Stand ye in the ways, and see, and askfor the old paths, where is the goodway, and walk therein, and ye shallfind rest for your souls. But they said,We will not walk therein (Jer. 6:16).Continuing our thoughts on the oldpaths of doctrine, many years ago Iheard Vance Havner make this statement, and I havenever forgotten it: “Evangelism is to Christianity whatveins are to our bodies. You can cut Christianity anywhereand it will bleed evangelism. Evangelism is vascular;it’s our business.” I agree with that totally, and Iwould like to build on the analogy: Doctrine is to Christianitywhat bone marrow is to the physical body.Bone marrow produces blood cells: red cells carryoxygen and have a lifetime of 120 days; white cells arepart of the immune system and have a lifetime of a fewdays to years; and platelets are involved in blood coagulationand have a lifetime of about nine days. All that iswhat doctrine does. Some “cells” sustain and enrich ourlives, others keep us healthy from things that wouldharm us, and still others heal us when we are injured.Further, as cells have limited life spans, the “marrow ofdoctrine” continues the work of replacing the exhaustedcells with fresh ones. While some today insist that “doctrineis not practical,” such an idea is ludicrous, as wewill see in more detail.Another statement, this one by Martyn Lloyd-Jones,is also one that often comes to mind: “The most foolishof all Christians are those who dislike and decry the importanceof Theology and teaching. Does not that explainwhy they fail in practice?” Why are many Christiansweak and shallow? Why do many fall to any new trendthat comes along? Why do many fail to discern falseteaching? Why do many fail to be consistent, faithful,and obedient? Why do many succumb to temptation?Why do many collapse when someone challenges theirfaith? Because they do not know doctrine. Sadly, they arenot being taught doctrine by their pastors; they are notbeing taught that God’s Word alone is Truth. They arebeing taught that Truth is relative and can be found inmany other places. That is why they fail, and that is whyChristianity continues to degenerate. The more moderntrends that arise, the more biblical truths that are sacrificedon the Altar of Change. As Charles Spurgeon sowell said: “The Holy Ghost rides in the chariot of Scripture,and not in the wagon of modern thought.” Far toomany Christian leaders today are sitting in wagons insteadof standing in chariots.Contrary to popular thinking, doctrine and teachingare repeatedly, over and over again, emphasized inScripture. The word doctrine, in fact, appears 45 times inthe New Testament, 11 of which are in reference toJesus’ own ministry. Regarding Jesus’ Sermon on theMount, we read: “And it came to pass, when Jesus hadended these sayings, the people were astonished at hisdoctrine, For he taught them as one having authority, andnot as the scribes” (Matt. 7:28, 29). We also read in Mark4:2: “He taught them many things by parables, and . . .doctrine.” Parables, we should remember, were not forthe shallow hearer. Matthew 13:10–17 makes it clear thatparables were for Jesus’ true followers. Many todaydon’t get them, for those with hardened hearts cannot understanddeep truth. J. Wallace Hamilton wisely said,“Our modern age is a pushover for the shallow and theshortcut. We want to change everything except thehuman heart.”What, then, was the emphasis at the birth of theChurch? Acts 2:42 documents this for us: “And theycontinued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship,and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.” Is it notinteresting that there is nothing here about “cultural relevance,”“appealing to seekers,” or “addressing feltneeds”? There’s not even a single word about music here(or anywhere else in Acts), while today this has becomeby far the main emphasis and prominent feature. Again,doctrine is first because it is foundational.You are invited to worship with us at Grace BibleChurch (on the corner of 3 rd and Garfield) at 10:30 A.M.each Lord’s Day, where the ministry is the expositorypreaching of God’s Word.

8A ✧ NEWSRIO BLANCO HERALD TIMESThursday, September 20, 2012RDH: After more than a year of planning and 23 meetings, now near completion Continued from Page 1Athat doesn’t happen, the architectsplan it, you bid it out to a contractor,and the contractor says, ‘Well, thatlooks good on paper, but we can’tmake that work.’ But we’d alreadyworked through those (issues) for ayear-and-a-half of planning.”More than a year of planningbefore ever breaking ground wasn’thow Goshe and the RDH Board initiallyenvisioned the project. A $38.7million bond initiative passed in May2010 was followed by a 15-monthdelay when conflicts betweenHousing and Urban Development(HUD) requirements and Bureau ofLand Management (BLM) regulationsstymied the project’s start.Rather than go through HUD, thehospital sought out help to sell thebonds privately, a move that cut thelife of the loan by more than 10 yearsand reduced the interest rate frombetween 6.5 and 7 percent to 5.25percent. The change resulted in anestimated $40 million project savings,Goshe said.An initial proposal to build a newhospital was rejected by voters in2007. When the hospital brought thebond issue back to the ballot in 2010,concerns expressed included theamount taxpayers would be responsiblefor and whether there was really aneed for a new building. Goshe saidthat while he still talks to people whowanted more information or input onthe process, many didn’t realize that23 Town Hall meetings were advertisedand held in various locationsand times for that purpose.Goshe believes that people maybe getting used to the reality of a newhospital.“I don’t notice the public oppositionat board meetings now,” he said.“We used to have standing roomonly, and now it’s rare to have visitorsattend a meeting.”NOTICE OF COMMUNITY MEETING REGARDINGSEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATORLAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES: Rio Blanco County Sheriff’s Office and Meeker Police DepartmentA YES vote on any ballot issue is a vote in favor of changing current lawor existing circumstances, and a NO vote on any ballot issue is a voteagainst changing current law or existing circumstances.I, Michael Mauer, Director of Research of the Colorado LegislativeCouncil of the General Assembly of the State of Colorado, do hereby certifythat the following is a true copy of the measures that will be votedupon by the registered electors of the state of Colorado at the statewideelection to be held on November 6, 2012.AMENDMENT SShall there be an amendment to the Colorado constitution concerning thestate personnel system, and, in connection therewith, expanding the veterans'preference; increasing the number of candidates eligible to beappointed to a position; adjusting the duration of allowable temporaryemployment; allowing the flexibility to remove a limited number of positionsfrom the system; modifying the residency requirement; adjusting theterms of service for members of the state personnel board; and requiringmerit-based appointments to be made through a comparative analysisprocess?Text of Proposal:Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixty-eighthGeneral Assembly of the State of Colorado, the Senate concurring herein:SECTION 1.

The wing housing thedental offices, clinic, and administrativearea are finished with the exceptionof trim work and some wiring,while other sections of the hospitalwill soon receive flooring, trim, andcabinets.“I’ve been on it since the verybeginning, and that’s been exciting,getting to see it develop from theplanning stage until now,” Goshesaid.All but one department managerand dozens of staff members havewatched the project go from being abond issue in early 2009 to a nearlycompleted building. That includesdoctors Karyl Ting, MercedesCameron and Chris Adams andphysician assistant Diana Wright, allof whom are nearing or have reachedthe three-year mark as regular hospitalstaff.At the hospital’s open house,scheduled for Dec. 7, patients may beawestruck by the building’s size,which Goshe said exceeds mostdepartment managers’ minimum2012 Statewide Ballot Issues: pg 1In the constitution of the state of Colorado, section 14 of article XII,amend (1), (2), and (3) as follows:Section 14.

Some of that’s because we’reused to working out of a closet andnow we’re going to a full-size department.But I think it’s very adequate.It definitely looks big.”Big might mean 140 parkingspots, more than twice the number atthe current site, flanking the building’smain and rear entrances.

RIO BLANCO HERALD TIMESThursday, September 20, 2012NEWS ✧ 9ARDH: Despite 15-month delay, Rangely District Hospital due to open Dec. 1710%Oil, Gas, & CoalIndustrialState OwnedResidentialCommercialAgriculture8%4%3% 1%74%Oil, Gas, & CoalIndustrial StateOwned Residential Commercial Agriculture and the hospital’s long-term careunit, Goshe said.Right now, though, the goal is toget through the “punch walk,” orfinal check before state inspectorsarrive in November, then look aheadto the hospital’s grand opening onDec. 7, move starting Dec. 14, andopening day on Dec. 17.“We’ll probably be running twoplaces at the same time during thetransition,” Goshe said. “And it’ll bechaos for a few days. But everyone’sexcited and we have lots of good helpto do it.”HEATHER ZADRA(Above) CEO Nick Goshe says the cafeteria, which seats 40 indoors and includes an outdoor diningspace, is a common area where visitors and patients can share a meal. (Below) The concrete of the newhelipad and surrounding walkways is heated and will melt snow up to -17 below zero. Continued from Page 8Aic, the cafeteria seats 40 and isframed by a slate fireplace and a wallof windows leading out to a patiowith more dining tables.Many staff members are lookingforward to stretching out in the newfacility.“Everybody feels like they’re ontop of each other here,” said RDHstaff accountant Maxine Stewart,who shares office space with twoother employees. “The hospital reallyhas met its useful life. Now we’re justbiding time.”Another feature of the building isa distinct separation of spaces. Thephysical therapy department, whichcurrently separates its “rooms” withcurtains, will have four privaterooms, along with separate exerciseand aquatics rooms. The long-termcare wing houses ten private roomswith amenities just for its patients,including an outdoor sitting area,food prep space and activities room.With the new building comesequipment and built-in technologyconsidered cutting-edge in the healthcareindustry, Goshe said. Thatincludes patient lifts in the eightacute and ten long-term patientrooms, negative pressure rooms forinfection control in the acute unit,and a 64-slice low-dose radiation CTscanner. Eighty percent of the equipmentwill be new, Goshe said, withold equipment and furniture traded inas equity or sold to organizations thatthen take them to third-world countries.To maintain all of the space andnew equipment, the hospital hashired an additional maintenanceworker and plans to employ morehousekeeping staff, Goshe said. Hesaid that other expenses may be comparableto the old building.“As far as utilities, it’s a biggerbuilding, but because our old systemsare so inefficient, and because everythingin the new building is energyefficient,we feel like our gas andelectric might stay the same,” Goshesaid.Otherwise, unless new servicesare added in the future, the currentRDH staff will be the staff patientssee in the new building. Patientsshould, however, expect to see morespecialists coming to Rangely on amonthly or bimonthly basis.Administration has targeted the specialprocedures unit, which will onlybe used approximately two days permonth at the outset, for increased useby specialists who currently requireRangely patients to come to theirGrand Junction offices.“We’ve got specialists who say,‘We’re not coming up here if wedon’t have room,’” Goshe said. “Werealize we’re not going to be able tosupport an orthopedic surgeon or anykind of specialist. But there areenough patients in Rangely that (specialists)could visit once a month, andif we have the space for them, we willhave them... Like we said during ourTown Hall meetings, our goal is tosave patients as many trips out oftown as we can.”At its current size, the hospitalwill never deliver babies or performsurgeries requiring general anesthesiadue to insurance restrictions,Goshe said. But some procedures,like vasectomies, colonoscopies andendoscopies will continue to be done,and others like cataract removals maybe options in the future.Chief Financial Officer JimDillon said that RDH’s financial stabilitycomes from its status as a criticalaccess facility, which means thatMedicare pays for some of its overheadcosts, and as a special districthospital, which provides an operationslevy that has been in place foryears. Once the hospital is complete,administrators and the board hope tofurther plans for a six-unit apartmentcomplex for visiting or interim staff,along with a six-bed independent livingsenior facility that could includelight housekeeping and meal services.The facility would complementthe Eagle Crest Assisted Living area2012 Statewide Ballot Issues: pg 2TLED TO PREFERENCE UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE GIVENPREFERENCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH PARAGRAPHS (b) TO (e) OFTHIS SUBSECTION (1).

The source of supplyfor the reservoir is the North Elk Creek, a tributary of the White River. 4. Legal Basisfor Protest A. Abandonment requires the concurrence of two elements: "a sustainedperiod of non-use and an intent to abandon." East Twin Lakes Ditches & Water WorksInc. v. Bd. of County Comm'r of Lake County, 76 P.3d 918, 921 (Colo. 2003). "Intent isthe critical element in determining abandonment." City & County of Denver v. SnakeRiver Water Dist., 788 P.2d 772, 776 (Colo. 1990); See also C.R.S. § 37-92-103(2)(2010) ("'Abandonment of a water right' means the termination of a water right in wholeor in part as a result of the intent of the owner" to permanently discontinue use). B. Forpurposes of the Division Engineer listing, a "failure for a period of ten years or more toapply to a beneficial use the water available under a water right when needed by theperson entitled to use same" may create a rebuttable presumption of abandonment.C.R.S. § 37-92-402(11). This requires 10 years of nonuse when water is available undera water right when needed. C. Even if such a presumption of abandonment is satisfied,it is rebutted when the owner "establish[es] some fact or condition that excuses thenonuse or shows the owner's intent not to abandon the water right." Haystack Ranch,LLC v. Fazzio, 997 P.2d 548, 552 (Colo. 2000); see also People ex rel. Danielson v.City of Thornton, 775 P.2d 11, 18 (Colo. 1989) ("In order to rebut a presumption of abandonmentit is necessary to adduce evidence that the water right owner did not intend toabandon the water right notwithstanding the long period of nonuse that gave rise to thepresumption"). D. In determining whether an owner intended to abandon his water right,Colorado Courts have looked to factors such as: (1) repair and maintenance of structures;(2) attempts to put the water to beneficial use; (3) active diversions and priornon-appearance of the water right on abandonment list; (4) efforts to sell the waterright or a sale of the water right; (5) filing documents to protect, change, or preservethe right; and (6) leasing the water right; and (7) economic or legal obstacles to exercisingthe water right. E. Twin Lake, 76 P.3d at 922 (Colo. 2003). "[I]f these factors areinsufficient or nonexistent, only then is the failure to put the water to a beneficial useenough by itself to sustain a finding of abandonment. Id. 5. Factual Basis for ProtestThe Goosman Reservoir was an existing structure and was used continuously to its fulldecreed capacity and for its decreed uses until 2006. Attached as Exhibit A is an aerialphoto of the property showing the reservoir full of water on October 22, 2005. Assuch, there has not been ten years on nonuse. The property and associated GoosmanReservoir water right experienced several changes of ownership prior to and after 2006.These changes in ownership started with the death of one of the principal owners ofthe property and water right in May of 2004. However, the Goosman Reservoir waterright was expressly referenced in the 2006, 2007, and 2008 deeds transferring the property.See Exhibit B. Therefore, even after the reservoir fell into disrepair and was laterfilled in, the continued inclusion of Goosman Reservoir in these conveyances evidencesan intent to not abandon the Goosman Reservoir water right. Elk Creek purchasedthe property located at 198 County Road 54, Meeker, CO and its associated waterrights, including the Goosman Reservoir, on July 15, 2011 from Cay Stone, Inc. Thisdeed is recorded in the records of Rio Blanco County at Reception No. 301658. See ExhibitC. Elk Creek purchased the property with the intent to re-establish the pond thathad been on the property until 2006. In short, there has not been ten years of nonuse ofthe Goosman Reservoir and Elk Creek has no intent to abandon this water right becauseit plans to re-establish the pond and put the Goosman Reservoir water right tobeneficial use. Accordingly, the Goosman Reservoir should be removed from the DivisionNo. 6 Revised Abandonment List. WHEREFORE, Elk Creek requests that the Courtremove the Goosman Reservoir from the Division No. 6 Revised Abandonment List.ROUTT COUNTY COMBINED COURTWATER DIVISION 6By: /s/ Sharon MartinCourt Judicial AssistantPublished: September 20, 2012 in Rio Blanco Herald TimesCAXCAMOUNTAIN STATES PIPE & SUPPLY, Expenses,$226.90MUNRO SUPPLY, INC., Expenses, $1,073.70MWI VETERINARY SUPPLY, AnimalShelter Expenses, $450.18NATIONAL METER & AUTOMATION, Expenses,$1,333.86NETWORKS UNLIMITED, Support, $2,149.56NICE SYSTEMS, INC., Computer Processing,$520.00NICHOLS STORE, Expenses, $322.90NIELSEN, JOSEPH, Council Stipend, $100.00NT CARQUEST AUTO PARTS, Expenses,$289.34PIERING, LISA, Services, $30.00PINE VALLEY ECO PRODUCTS, Expenses,$855.03PIPELINE TESTING CONSORTIUM, Uniforms,$349.45PITNEY BOWES INC, Expenses, $2,000.00PRESTIGE FINANCIAL SERVICES INC,Payroll deduction, $300.00PROFESSIONAL TOUCH, Expenses, $936.00PROGRESSIVE BUS.
