Over A Cup: Venison time of year
November 5, 2011
Thanks to Marlene Meredith, of Meeker, this week’s column features two more wild game recipes. Marlene sent me a packet of wild game recipes that you’ll find in this column every now and then. Since the weather is so cold and snowy, I chose a chili and a soup recipe for this week. I haven’t tried these recipes, but they sound wonderful.
Biography project gives MCHS students a personal view of history
November 5, 2011
Call it an American success story. Call it a window into the era that now survives only in faded photographs, books and letters. Or, as Rose Howe prefers to see it, call it the adventure of one man’s dogged pursuit of a dream.

Lifeline program helps Moffat County residents gain security, retain independence
November 5, 2011
Dwaine Chesser packs a pager on his hip, a visible reminder that the unexpected could happen at any time. Being a full-time emergency medical technician at The Memorial Hospital can make for a hectic life, but Chesser chose it for a reason. “What I love the most about it, I think, is the fact that I can change people’s lives, not though just sometimes using my skills as an EMT but being there for them when they need somebody,” he said. “A lot of calls we go on, some times people just need somebody’s hand to hold and talk to.”
LSRV headed back to title game
November 5, 2011
After Rex Stanley caught a pass from Zach Filip in the first quarter Friday in Baggs, Wyo., the Little Snake Rive Valley School senior took off down the sidelines. When Stanley crossed the pylon, he flipped the ball to the ref and lined back up for the point after. The LSRV six-man varsity football team was only up 7-0 on Kaycee High School in the semifinals of the Wyoming 1A state playoffs, but like so many games before, it was just the beginning.
Out on top: MCHS downs rival Steamboat 27-6 in season finale
November 5, 2011
Neither coach will tell you it was a success. They’d be crazy to think the seasons endured by the Moffat County and Steamboat football teams were remotely successful. But in what could be the last time the two teams meet in the Western Slope League — Moffat’s enrollment might push it down to Class 2A next year — the Bulldogs were able to win the battle of pride Friday night, downing the Sailors 27-6.
Agriculture & Livestock: Signs of a new hunting season
November 5, 2011
This time of year is a busy time for ranchers. Among their jobs: gathering strays from summer pasture; weaning, preconditioning and selling calves; “preg” testing; winterizing farm equipment; and, for some, hauling in hay. Besides all this work, some ranchers are now busy with another branch of their business — hunting season.
Bob Grubb: ‘Local loss for many’
November 5, 2011
To the editor: I wish to respond to Pastor Dale Potter’s “Did You Know” columns in Friday’s Oct. 14 and 21 papers about alcoholism. The first column uses the Gospel of John 2:1-10 to show that Jesus would never create actual alcoholic wine and therefore implies one should not drink alcoholic beverages at anytime, anywhere or in any amount.

Occupy Denver protesters moving to fed building
November 5, 2011
(AP) — Occupy Wall Street supporters in Denver prepared to move from Civic Center Park to another city park across from the downtown Federal Reserve building last night to make way for a Veteran’s Day celebration that includes a parade and honor roll reading of war heroes. Protesters say they plan instead to march in front of downtown banks today as part of a national movement to urge people to close their national bank accounts and transfer their money to local credit unions.
QBs take center stage for Broncos, Raiders
November 5, 2011
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — When the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders last met less than two months ago, quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Carson Palmer found themselves in far different situations. Tebow was sitting behind Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn as the third-stringer in Denver, where fans pleaded to see him get a chance to play in the Broncos 23-20 loss to the Raiders. Palmer was back home in Southern California in a forced retirement because of his refusal to continue playing with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Quarter-mile-wide asteroid coming close to Earth
November 5, 2011
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — An asteroid bigger than an aircraft carrier will dart between the Earth and moon on Tuesday — the closest encounter by such a huge rock in 35 years. But scientists say not to worry. It won’t hit. “We’re extremely confident, 100 percent confident, that this is not a threat,” said the manager of NASA’s Near Earth Object Program, Don Yeomans. “But it is an opportunity.”
Baxter Black: Master of none
November 5, 2011
It helps to know a little about a lot of things. It gives you a broad perspective. It also allows you to make a fool of yourself in many different areas. In my column, readers may notice that I appear to have an opinion on almost everything in agriculture. It might impress some, but real authorities in certain areas can easily see how thin my expertise is spread.
