After the rumors flew, Nucla
citizens spoke out, and more
than two and a half hours were
spent by the Nucla Town Board
behind the closed doors of
executive session over their past
two meetings, Mayor Mary
Helen deKoevend announced
that communications between
the board, the Nucla Marshal,
the Sheriff's Department and
the District Attorney's Office
will be better.
"There are rumors
that the Sheriff's
Department screwed
this case up. I don't
think we've screwed
anything up..."
-County Sheriff,
Warren Waterman
I
In the midst of two crucial
cases for Nucla, including the
one-year-ago triple stabbing of
three local men and the disap-
pearance of another local, Dale
Williams, everyone seemed to
want answers from everyone
else last Wednesday night.
After having attended the
June 23 board meeting in Nucla,
the parents of the stabbing vic-
tims returned, still ~vondering
whether crucial evidence in the
case was the responsibility of
the Sheriff's Department or the
Marshal's Office. Parents, Jo
Ellen Turner and Carol Barker,
brought with them to this most
recent meeting Montrose Chief
Deputy District Attorney, Sandy
Honath.
Montrose County Sheriff,
Warren Waterman, and Sergeant
Bill McClellan were also pres-
ent at the meeting, with ques-
lions of their own as well as a
roposal for an Interagency
Agreement between the town
and county sheriff's department.
"I'm uncomfortable that
Matt (Gudermuth, Nucla
Marshal) leaves town for vaca-
tion or for school and the sher-
iff's department doesn't know,"
Waterman stated. "Recent cir-
cumstances in Paradox have
made it rtecessary for our
deputies to spend a lot of time
there. If we are called in to
cover Nucla while Matt is gone,
I'm telling you now that the

Tickets on Sale this Week...
On Sunday, August 15, our
"world will be rocked," as the
Rock Your World Youth
Crusade, featuring Bill Scott,
the band Age of Faith, and
singer, Jeni V., will be in Nucla
~is part of their Millennial Tour.
... The Rock Your
World Crusade will
be the first event of
its kind to come to
the West End.

The Crusade will be offered
by Z-Jam Youth Ministries,
whose interactive youth radio
program is currently broadcast
on over 200 stations in the U.S.
and Canada, with an Internet
version that can be heard in 220
countries around the world. The
crusade is a blend of music,
worship and encouragement,
designed for teens.
The concert, which will be
approximately 2 1/2 hours of
music and ministry, will take
place at 4 PM, at Nucla High
School. Tickets will be avail-
able across the region starting
this week, and will cost $5.
A youth minister for many
years, Bill Scott knew that in
order to effectively tell a young
generation about Christ, he
needed to reach teenagers
through things they already
knew and loved, such as music
and the Internet. Bill feels that
a band is a crucial part in reach-
ing teens at concerts. "I spent a
lot of time praying for the right
band to travel with, and Age of
Faith is the band God gave me,"
He says. "Their lyrics are right
on and have everything to do
with living a Christian life."
Bill Scott (upper left) and the Christian rock band, Age of Faith, will join singer,
Jenni V., for the Rock Your World Youth Crusade in Nucla on August 15. Tickets for
the concert will be on sale this week, and community members are asked to take part
in concert preparations.
Age of Faith, whose fifth
album, "The Truth" was
released in November of 1998,
brings together guitar-oriented,
raw pop music with a message
of forgiveness and unconditional
love. "This album is for the kids
we have met on the road," says
lead vocalist, Jimi Ray. "We
have consistently heard kids tell
us that they have a hard time
finding forgiveness for past mis-
takes. We've really listened to
what they've had to say about
their hurts and their guilt, and
this album is simply our
response to them. We want to
show that God is truly who He
says He is. He is enough for us
to live this life. Mistakes will be
made by all, but God forgives."
According to promoters of
the concert, the Rock Your
World Crusade will be the first
event of its kind to come to the
West End. An incredible
investment has been made for
the youth in this area, and they
are hoping that preparations for
it will be a community effort
involving Nucla, Naturita,
Norwood and surrounding areas.
Much work ne.e.xls to be done
before August 15, and everyone
is invited to take part.
An organizational meeting is
scheduled for this Wednesday,
July 21, at the Trinity Baptist
Church in Naturita, starting at 6
PM. Area pastors and residents
who would like to become
involved are urged to either
attend the meeting or to call
Rick at 865-2697 or Roger at
864-7425. Copies of Age of
Faith's album, "The Truth" are
also available by calling one of
those numbers.
