Thanks for listening to Rio Blanco County News. Here are highlights for the week of July 9, 2020 *** Front Range counties are leading the census response in Colorado, meaning Rio Blanco County could be underrepresented when it comes to funding and planning for schools, infrastructure, healthcare, grants and government representation. Results will impact our communities for the next 10 years. Only 42.4% of RBC residents have responded. You can respond online in about five minutes at 2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020. *** Rio Blanco County, the Town of Meeker and the Town of Rangely are hosting public meetings to present updated floodplains. These may impact insurance rates and developments. Details on PAGE 3A. *** The Town of Meeker’s water fluoridation equipment is inoperable and as a result, water is not currently being fluoridated at optimal levels. The Town is working to obtain updated equipment, and you can find updates on the progress on their website at townofmeeker.org and social media pages. *** Check out photos from Rangely and Meeker’s Fourth of July celebrations on page 1A this week. *** Opie, a mini Aussie with a brown and white coat, went missing from Park Avenue in Meeker last Friday after illegal fireworks were set off in the area. He is not wearing a collar. Please keep your eyes peeled for Opie, and call 970-361-0293 or 970-878-3333 if you have any information. *** Here’s your quote for the week from Theodore Roosevelt, who often visited Rio Blanco County in the early 1900s. You can learn more about his local adventures at the White River Museum “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Public Domain Soundtrack Music: Album One by John Bartmann is licensed under a CC0 1.0 Universal License.
