Meeker’s sheepdog trials ended Sunday, but the work didn’t. “Breakdown is almost as busy as the days of the trial,” said director Ellen Nieslanik, who took a few minutes to chat Tuesday, in between hauling grandstands.

Letter: Respect the office of president
In the events of the past week over the hub-(bubba) of our president speaking in schools, I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry. Let’s cut to what I see is the real reason … if he were white would we be having this conversation?
Letter: We’re all guilty of hypocrisy at times
In response to Ms. Hale’s recent opinions and references over the past few weeks (in which the Herald Times has generously allowed her a forum), I would like to offer a suggestion:
Letter: Meeker seeks ideas for grade school site
The Meeker Town Board is seeking input on the future of the current elementary site. With construction of the new Elementary School well under way, the focus is now shifting to “What will happen to the old building and grounds?”
Letter: Letter-writer’s intent was misconstrued
Well, it is obvious that my letter was misunderstood. It had nothing to do with immigration, illegal or otherwise, but with being bilingual in America.
Letter: Jean Welder says thank you for article
Thank you, Jeff, for having the patience to review the past 40 years of my life with me.
Letter: Is there better option than a roundabout?
How would you like to access your driveway right in the curve of a roundabout or have your children crossing just before or after this roundabout?
Christmas Eve marks the end of an era for The Bakery
For nearly 30 years, Dave and Enid Steffen have been going to work when most people were sleeping. But after Dec. 24, they can finally sleep in. Not that they will. Old habits are hard to break.
Letter: Speaking up can lead to intimidation
Josh Halstead had the ability to state what many people think. Good job, Josh, and like most in this town, I am sure he didn’t speak up at the meeting due to embarrassment, and knowing that he would be attacked for speaking up in a mob mind forum.
Letter: Helping hands don’t need government
In response to far left opinions, there is a difference between helping your neighbor, and the government forcing you to hand over part of your hard earned living to someone else. People think that we have a right in America to be happy, this is not the case.
Letter: A reader’s wish list for the Democrats
What I would like the Dems to do: 1. No investigation of CIA. 2. No creation of a new dept. H.I.G. (High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group) for interrogation of terrorists, placed under dept. of FBI.
Letter: Illegal immigration is just that … illegal
Ms. Frijole-Barreno did just exactly what I expected. My comments regarding my love of America, its freedoms, liberties and Constitution, and the violation thereof by the radical liberal mind set of our present administration, and those who voted for it, were negated without investigation.
