Rangely swimmers do well at Western Slope tourney

RANGELY I Rangely swimmers did very well at the 2015 Western Slope League Championships held during the past weekend in Grand Junction.
Fifteen Rangely swimmers placed at the meet, and they were led by 15-year-old Patrick Scoggins, who placed in six events and was voted the Western Slope League Athlete Representative by all the coaches in the league.

“Patrick is a humble athlete who works hard,” Coach Torrie Slagle said. “He is in the 15-and-over age group and the youngest of his age group. Despite being the youngest, Patrick has already qualified for state in three events and he ranks with the best on the Western Slope.
Patrick shaved time off in each of his events,” Slagle said. “This weekend he was competing against 24-year-old college swimmers and was able to swim right there with them.”
Patrick also plans to attend the Summer Club Championship meet in Fort Morgan and win high-point swimmer for the 15-and-over boys of all Colorado summer swim cubs.

  • Mormon crickets have hatched near Rangely. They were all sighted on BLM land north of Hwy. 64 near the junction of CR 96 and CR 1, down a dirt road near the Moffat County line.  The picture shown was taken yesterday by Mary Meinen from Rangely. She says the crickets are about the size of a ladybug (less than 1/2”). Some of them are actually yellow in color but most of them are darker. They are milling around and getting ready to start moving soon. Note: Photo is not to scale.
Rio Blanco County and the White River and Douglas Creek Conservation Districts are still asking for your help to identify additional hatch-outs of crickets so that control efforts can be put in place. The success of the program will highly depend upon local landowners and the public helping to locate crickets as soon as they hatch.  See last week’s paper for a list of ways to help or contact the County Weed & Pest District at 970-878-9670 or the Conservation District office at 970-878-9838 with any questions.
