Happy middle of May, dear readers!
This will be a brief newsletter, as we’re busy prepping the special graduation section for Meeker High School’s Class of 2025. It will be handed out at the May 24 commencement exercises, and then inserted in the paper on May 29.
This week we have a page of senior photos for the Rangely High School Class of 2025. They’ll graduate Sunday afternoon, May 18. Congratulations, graduates!

“No government ought to be without censors: and where the press is free, no one ever will. If virtuous, it need not fear the fair operation of attack and defence. Nature has given to man no other means of sifting out the truth either in religion, law, or politics. I think it as honorable to the government neither to know, nor notice, it’s sycophants or censors, as it would be undignified and criminal to pamper the former and persecute the latter.”
― Thomas Jefferson
