When the pandemic kicked off last spring I said I thought this event was going to leave a mark. Little did I know at that point how deep that mark would go. I’m chalking 2020 up as the second worst year of my life (second only because no one in our family has physically died). There have been other losses, other griefs, other traumas to unpack and process, but we’re still upright and breathing. For so many others, including many in our communities who may or may not share their grief publicly, this year has been a personal horror story.

MEEKER | To Niki Turner and all your hard-working staff, on behalf of all your readers, I say thank you and a very special Merry Christmas.
You faithfully churn out the news every week, get the advertising included, attend meetings for us, produce the fun pages, re-create Days Gone By news, write an editorial, edit submitted articles, and no matter what, get us our beloved newspaper. In a small, remote town like Meeker, the paper is THE news, and our household reads it every week.
Holidays do not exist in the world of journalism; it is 52 weeks a year work. The clock is always ticking. As soon as one issue goes to press, it’s time to focus on the next week. Deadlines are fixed times with no exceptions, not soft schedules. Once the copy and layout are off to be printed, there is no recall or do over.
