From My Window… Students: Get the most from your education; thoughts on Dr. Bob
Schools are back in session. As a small child, this was the highlight of the year. Even though the youngest of seven siblings, I was bored. I was also pretty excited to see my friends again. Besides, I actually liked my teachers — all nuns at a Catholic school in[Read More…]

From My Window… County election works impress; holiday fun in Meeker, Rangely
Spent last Tuesday night on special duty, acting as an Associated Press writer to cover the Rio Blanco County elections for the state media, and a heck of a night it was. I’ve done it before and it isn’t really any fun, but it is always interesting to see the[Read More…]
From My Window… A countywide look at trash, concerts and Rangely tragedy
I applaud the nudge from the Town of Meeker requiring residents and landlords to pick up limbs and trash from their properties and to require thigh-high grass to be cut.
From My Window… Fishing Day, Fish Fry fun work, unite communities
