We need your help. After two wonderful years, the Smoking River Pow Wow committee is taking a new direction in 2010. We are recruiting people with fresh ideas to organize the powwow in future years. This committee began creating the powwow as a vehicle to embody our mission:
Letters To The Editor
Letter: Von Wetzel says thanks to Meeker
Thank you from the previous “people” of Von Wetzel’s second-hand store. I didn’t have a chance to thank those who gave me such great memories, advice and experienced wisdom.
Letter: Wyoming women were first to vote
In last week’s paper, you were misinformed in one of your columns. It was the column which mentioned women’s suffrage in the USA. It was reported that women gained the right to vote in the USA in 1920. Actually, Wyoming gave the right to vote to women in 1890. Here[Read More…]
Letter: Rangely election will be mail-in ballot
I would like to take this opportunity to remind the voters of Rangely about the upcoming election for mayor and town trustees. This is a mail-in ballot so you may have already received your ballot.
Letter: Bilson thanks PMC doctors and staff
I would like to proffer my genuine and heartfelt thanks to Judy Eskelson, Dr. Albert Krueger and the entire Pioneers Medical staff for the wonderful time they afforded me at PMC on the first of March.
Letter: Deputy district attorney says goodbye
I very much want to thank the people of Rio Blanco County for giving me the opportunity to serve you as your deputy district attorney for the past year. This is a wonderful community, and it has been both an honor and a pleasure to assist in the team effort[Read More…]
Letter: Herald Times example of community paper
As a lifelong journalist, I appreciate Jeff Burkhead’s self-revealing column on himself. Beneath the juicy personal information in which he accepts his consequences for the mistake of a lifetime, is the philosophy and goal of every community newspaper. He’ll serve this community with dignity and honor.
Letter: Ritter should oppose greenhouse gas limits
While governors from 18 U.S. states spent last Wednesday urging Congress to nix the EPA’s “harmful” regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, Gov. Bill Ritter chose to stand idly by.
Letter: Health care bill will bankrupt America
Our government is not listening to us and has not been listening for some time. Those in power seem to believe they know what is best for us whether we like it or not. Our tax dollars are thrown around like there is a never-ending supply. They don’t know or[Read More…]
Letter: Rangely needs up-to-date health care
I would like to take a few minutes to relate the happenings of Dave’s accident on the morning of Feb. 19. The first thing I want to make clear is that this is not a political statement, but just a statement of fact.
Letter: Sheriff’s office should take over grade school
In reference to the controversy over what to do with the building when the school moves, it is the perfect solution to the needs of the county. The elementary school is the same decor as the courthouse, is large enough to house the entire RBC Sheriff’s Office, and it should[Read More…]
Letter: Teams represent our community as well
I would like to say how much I enjoyed the games at the district basketball tournament. However, I was very disappointed in the sportsmanship of the Meeker boys’ team and coach when they wouldn’t stay in the gym to accept the second-place trophy.
