Tom Williams: Upset at system
I have been reading about the effort to recall District Attorney Bonnie Roesink. I dealt with her for more than 18 months concerning a case where the driver wrecked his automobile and his passenger was killed. I am one of the victim's family members.
Darcy Trask: Find out more
You may be trying to decide whether to get involved in the debate regarding the School Board. You may be wrestling with the question of whether Dr. John DeVincentis is a gifted educator - as we know he was in the past - or if something has changed and the person revealed in the e-mails is the DeVincentis who now sits on your School Board.
Mitch and Lynn Wunder: For our children's sake
One of the reasons we chose Steamboat Springs as a place to live was the quality of its schools. The Steamboat Springs School District had schools that were ranked among the best in the state. We were impressed not only by the teaching of the basics, but also by the teaching of values. As we visited Strawberry Park Elementary School, we were impressed by the conspicuous posters that extolled the virtues of honesty, integrity, respect, compassion and love. Unfortunately, we don't see many of these values being expressed by certain leaders in our school district or by our local newspaper with its narrow lens. Virtues are not taught from posters but by example. We are saddened to see the venomous rhetoric or our national politics and media filter down to our local school board and paper.
Chip Coe: Children deserve better
The apology letter that Dr. John DeVincentis wrote is yet another refection of his true character and his emotional maturity (or lack thereof). Dr. DeVincentis could have saved a lot of words by simply saying, "I am sorry I was caught." His attempted apology is as pathetic as his conduct over the last many years. Dr. DeVincentis seemingly cannot comprehend that his conduct falls so short of any reasonable threshold of acceptability that there can be no justification for his actions. Mike Johnson misses the point in his letter to the editor. This is not an assassination of Dr. DeVincentis' character, but rather a revelation of his character.

E-mail investigation ordered
Connelly: Board wants to determine if policies were violated

Tom Ross: Climate change could spoil our fun
When is a candlelight dinner unromantic? When global warming and the collapse of society necessitate it. OK, maybe I'm being a little melodramatic. But in Steamboat Springs, the only thing more scary than impending plagues of grasshoppers and the unraveling of civilization is the prospect of a bad snow winter followed by dry paddling and angling seasons.
