Show B2-Th- e Thursday, Sept. 5, 1991 Tlmes-lndepende- Racers are playing for keeps at Moab's Red Rock Speedway There is no doubt about it. It takes a certain rebel class to race stock. When mixing with a rebel class, first you need to add together a few elements like a hairpin curve, excessive speeds, a tire wall, flipping 8 feet into the air, land! And land is just what Jody Mitchell did last Friday night, Aug. 30, belly up with all four tires still spinning. Way to go, Jody. He walked away from it, a true rebel. There were numerous other collisions and spills that kept the Friday and Saturday adrenalin pumping. But fortunately there were no serious injuries. It is always a comfort to know that Allen Memorial's medical personnel and equipment are standing close at hand. Also Nation's Station is ready with wrecker and crew to pry apart the . and place worst wheels back on the ground where fender-bende- You rs they belong. Race fans will recall that car 6 driven by Troy Friar out of Grand Junction, who had refused to sell his engine on a claim last Aug. 17, was back. Not only was Troy back, but crowds' nights' he was playing for keeps, after the claim on his engine was deemed void." The particulars in the rule book state that any driver making a claim on an engine must drive his own race car immediately after the finish of a feature, under its own power, directly to the claiming area. Bill Ferguson's 9 failed to do that when placing the claim on Troy's car on Aug. 17. Friar thus was given back his winings and season's points were restored plus Friar took for this Labor Day weekend 1st place, both in the Friday and Saturday nights Main Hobbie Events. Friar is top points holder at this time, but it's still anybody's game. Winners of Friday's race include: Heat Sportmans: $16 Aaron Spangler of Moab; Hobby Trophy: 75 Chad Shepherd, Moab; Min Hobby: 1st place was 6 Troy Friar with second going to 7 Larry Thompson of Glenwood Springs, Colo.

Two days of racing fun ended with the Powder Puff Race on Saturday night. This was a real chance for the ladies to show that they too are rebel class crazy. You cant help but feel a renewed sense of adrenalin as these ladies head into the fourth turn for the first time. Placing first in this event was Joy Ferguson of Norwood, Colo.

David knew God in an intimate way. God had even proclaimed him as a man after His own heart. David spent much time in quiet contemplation and in meditation upon God and His ways. In the verse just quoted, we see that David's heart was thrilled at the opportunity to go to the Lord's house and worship Him there. In the fourth verse of the same psalm, we see that David would not be there alone and that he was going because this was an ordinance of the Lord. "To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord. . .An ordinance for Israel. . .To give thanks unto the name of the Lord." This time of coming together with the saints of God was not only a precious time for David, it also meant much to the Lord. In the New Testament we read these words from Hebrews 10:24 & 25, "Let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near." Here we are exhorted to love one another, serve one another, and to gather together with one another. In our world today the corporate Body of Christ is called the Church. Everyone who has proclaimed faith in Christ is part of that Body. As in scripture, that Body is divided into local fellowships. God's word exhorts us, as ' Christians, to be part of the local fellowship. God established the local fellowship, along with all of its ministries, to bring each Christian into maturity. He has placed within each local fellowship offices and leadership to assist in the maturation process. Ephesians 4:11-1- 7 tells of these offices, their purposes, and their responsibilities. When we Christians, submit ourselves to God's ordained order in the local church we grow as individuals and the Church grows as well. Many people want nothing to do with the Church. They would say, "I can be just as good a Christian on my own as those who are going to church." There is no doubt that there are Christians who are not part of a local fellowship, but their's is an impoverished Christian experience. Within the local church God has provided ingredients that assist us in our growth in Christ. Within the local church there is wonderful fellowship with other believers. Other believers can and do lend encouragement along the path we walk. There is the thrill of joining together in a corporate voice, praising our God as one. Within the local church the word of God is preached and taught, that too causes us to grow. The local church provides us with accountability that keeps us from straying from the patW of Christ.' The local church affords us the opportunity to give of our gifts and also provides an arena for us to practice using the gifts that God has given to us, gifts designed to make Christ real to a world without Him. Fellow Christian, you are part of the family of God. You need what the family has to offer and the family truly needs you. Find that place you can call your spiritual home. Get in, get involved, and experience the fullness of what God has prepared for you. As you walk in obedience to Gods call to be part of His Body, you too will soon join with David in saying, "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go unto the house of the Lord.

Old Man Cave begins to yield its secrets The archaeology of southeastern Utah is famous for its Anasazi Indian remains. The caves and mesa tops of the region have been visited for more than 100 years b y individuals searching for important information and artifacts of Anasazi Pueblo farmers and their older brothers. One of the most significant questions to come from all this effort is how did the Anasazi culture develop. Who were their predecessors? For a week in August a team of volunteer excavators organized by Four Corners School of Outdoor Education of Monticello, directed by Phil Geib of the Archaeology Department of Northern Arizona University began to address this question. This important work took place at an archaeological site on Bureau of Land Management lands known as Old Man Cave. This site was first noticed by BLM Law Enforcement Ranger John Scorup in 1984. As part of his duties, while visiting the cave he collected a portion of a prehistoric sandal. The site was then partially recorded in 1989, and a piece of the sandal submitted for radiocarbon dating. When the analysis came back with a date of almost 7500 years ago, excitement increased, causing the BLM to wish to have the cave thoroughly recorded and some test excavations done. The primary focus of the work this year by the team of 8 people from all over the United States was to gather more complete information and help make a determination as to the eligibility of the site for the Na er Church of Christ 452 Emma Blvd. (N. 1st West) Sun.

These pits were cleaned to determine how extensively unauthorized and illegal excavations had disturbed the archaeological record. Mapping and testing was very slow due to the dusty conditions and quantity of artifacts uncovered, but overall much was accomplished. QAmnflta nf ulint was learned during this first season at Old Man Cave will not be known until analysis of the bone, carbon, stone, and vegetal remains is completed by the BLM. However, preliminary information is that the site holds a lot of information on the cultures in southeastern Utah. Being part of such an important site excavation project was a zi tremendous opportunity for Four Comers School participants. Plans are in the works with the BLM for second season.
