Letters To The Editor
Letter: Message of farm safety important
Rio Blanco Farm Bureau strongly promotes safety on our farms and ranches. Unfortunately, agriculture is still one of the most dangerous industries and children are too often hurt or even killed while playing or working on farms.
Letter: Martins express ‘heartfelt gratitude’
The Martin family would like to convey our deepest, heartfelt gratitude to the community of Meeker. We have been affectionately overwhelmed by the amount of concern and support shown us since Stone’s tragic passing and during the difficulties our family now faces.

Letter: Blagg family says thanks to Meeker
Once again, you will be reading of the incredible acts of kindness shown by a small community during a very difficult time for another community member. I guess we all think our little town is a bit more “special” when it comes to these types of situations.
Letter: CDOT priorities don’t seem to make sense
How ironic! Rio Blanco was recently denied $9 million of impact funds for improvements to County Road 5, the Piceance Creek road that is the only all-weather public road providing access to two major natural gas refineries and the dozens of gas wells in the Piceance Basin.
Letter: Rangely Cub Scouts had high-flying time
The Rangely Cub Scouts Packs 189 and 191 wish to thank the Rangely Airport for our recent tour of the facility.
Letter: Thanks to editor for his honesty
I sat down and read Jeff Burkhead’s Feb. 18 column a few days ago, and what a wonderful, well-written and enlightening column it was.
Letter: State rep. did not vote for higher vehicle fee
I am writing today to set the record straight on a topic that has taken on a life of its own. In short, I did not support nor did I vote for the vehicle fee registration increase dubbed FASTER by its proponents.
Letter: Congressman’s office doesn’t respond
When Congressman John Salazar first sought office, he impressed many of us as being a good moderate. Even though I am not a Democrat, I not only voted for him, but convinced others to do so as well.
Letter: Here’s one vote against four-day week
The dumbing of America seems to be gaining continuing inertia with Meeker wanting to willingly become a contributor and commit our future generals of School District RE-1 graduates entry to a global world equipped with provincial tools.
Letter: Substation concerns Meeker neighbors
It has only recently been brought to the attention of some of us who live in Sage Hills that White River Electric has plans to begin construction of a power substation on Sulphur Creek Road directly across from the entrance into the subdivision.
