Small-lot subdivisions OK

Of course small-lot subdivisions should be allowed, just like it's obvious that large, seasonal employers should provide employees an affordable place to live.

Fix streets, not rink

I live in South Routt, and I support Oak Creek businesses, groceries, restaurants and drug stores. I'd like my tax dollars to go to the town I live in. As far as roofing the rink, I don't understand why a lot of strong-bodied young men can't shovel the rink. We need the streets fixed badly and a lot of other things before we put money into something like that. I know they need their fun there, but it's really easy to shovel that rink off after a snow. Reconsider -- I don't think we need a grant or to waste grant-money time on something such as this. The streets are deplorable; please fix them first.

Use Daniel's tragic ending as an example of how it's torn this family apart. ... Our hearts go out not only to this family but to other families in the South Routt area who are being confronted with drug problems and, in particular, methamphetamine.

How could Walcher do it
