Letter: Points to ponder
I’ve taken several days to “recover” from the event that took place Jan. 3 at Moffat County Courthouse. This allowed me to regain a sense of reason and objectivity. Consequently, I’ve decided to provide “points to ponder” rather than an “opinion piece.” My “opinion,” however, will not change.

Letter: Theos remembers sheep trailing days
When I read the article on the front page of the Herald Times, written by my granddaughter, Morgan M. Neilson, we were still trailing our sheep and I started thinking about trailing sheep during my lifetime, which at present is 90 years. Years and years ago, what is now Highway[Read More…]

Letter: U.S. must remain strong militarily
The Obama administration is contemplating major reductions in the Defense Department budget to help cut into the huge deficits incurred by the President and his Washington cronies. They plan on reducing our conventional military forces and increasing special operations units to combat the terrorist threats around the world.
