than a month after his
the truck of Dale
Williams was found Sunday, in
the river below Uravan.
According to Montrose
County Lt. Shawn Cline, a local
family was fishing in the river
on Sunday afternoon when,
upon swimming in to retrieve a
tangled line, the pick up was
discovered. There was no trace
of Williams, and a metal tool-
box that had been bolted onto
the back of the white, 1994 Ford
F-250 was not there.
"We are still want-
ing any and all
information that
people may have
regarding the disap-
pearance of Dale
Williams. "'

The Clam )etts Come to Nucla
Officials removed the truck
on Monday, and it has been
taken to Montrose for process-
ing.
"It's a possibility that Dale
could have wrecked the truck
and been washed out, but right
now, there's really no way to tell
at this time if he was inside the
vehicle at the time that it went
in," Cline said on Tuesday. "We
don't know yet how long the
truck was in the river or how it
came to be there."
While not giving the specific
location of the discovery, Cline
said that it was a portion of the
river that lie fairly closely to the
highway. He also said that the
truck, while heavily damaged
from perhaps a month or more
in the water, was in fair body
c dition.
• nvestigations at the scene of
t' 'e discovery will continue this
week.
"Right now," said Cline,
' I'his is still a missing persons
case. We are still wanting any
and all information that people
may have regarding the disap-
pearance of Dale Williams."
Dale Williams was last seen
in Naturita at approximately 6
PM on May 27, 1999. Anyone
with information is urged to
contact the Montrose County
Sheriff's Office at 864-7333 or
249-6606.

K-6 School to Begin This Fall...

The Paradox Charter School
got a tentative thumbs up from
the West End Public School
Board last week, contingent
upon approval of their charter
contract later this month.
"I think that it will
be so much better
for the kids, offer so
many more things
that the public
school cannot offer."
Tim Walsh,
Paradox Community
Member
After Tim Walsh and other
parents in the Paradox commu-
nity were told a mere two
months ago that the elementary
school, that was closed for
financial reasons two years ago,
could not be reopened by the
district, they were encouraged
to explore the concept of a
charter school. A core group of
parents formed together, not
only "exploring" the possibility,
but also drawing up a contract,
seeking enrollment for the
school and securing $10,000,
with another $75,000 grant
waiting the school board's
approval at last Tuesday night's
meeting.
"Originally, I was interested
in just having the school opened
up again," Walsh explained to a
large crowd present at the West
End board meeting. "But after
exploring what a charter school
can do, I think that it will be so
much better for the kids, offer
so many more things that the
public school cannot offer. The
charter school is what we want
now."
Jed, Jethro, Granny and Ellie Mac (a.k a. Joe, Wade, Jamie and Melissa
Garvey) vowed that they'd "Strike It Rich In 2000" at the Water Days Parade in
Nucla last Saturday. Although they're a long way off from Beverly Hills, there's
always the hope of huge financial gains, sometime in the near future, for this
group of hillbillies. More Water Days pictures on Page 5.
