Conservative commentary: Ideology above all
My entire four years of under-graduate college work was done while living in a halfway house for criminals (no, sorry to disappoint my liberal detractors, but I wasn't an inmate). I had been given a chance to go to college while working my way through by cleaning up the church and school along with eventually getting a job cleaning up the "kill" at a slaughter house. Given that background, it's amazing I ended up in the fine jewelry business rather than as a lifetime janitor. But that's not the subject of this column.
Debra Crawford: CMC keeps cost low
In a recent article in the Steamboat Today about the planned tuition increase at Colorado Mountain College, there was reference to its cause. I would like to clarify that CMC's board of trustees voted to increase tuition - the first tuition increase the college has seen in three years - so that the end user, the student, would be taking on more of their share of the cost of their own education.
Our View: Going green a growing scene
It's hard not to notice the increasing attention U.S. businesses, political candidates and others are placing on environmental issues, products and jobs.

Jimmy Westlake: Leo springs into the spotlight
Just as sure as when the groundhog sees no shadow, when the stars of Leo the Lion appear in the eastern sky after the sun goes down, it's a sure sign that springtime is on its way. You can catch Leo leaping into the eastern sky beginning this month as soon as darkness falls. Look for a pattern of bright stars that forms the shape of a backward question mark, punctuated by a very bright blue star. Also known as "the Sickle," this pattern forms the head and mane of the King of the Beasts. The bright blue star is named Regulus, meaning "the Little King," and represents Leo's heart. Trailing behind the Sickle is a distinctive triangle of stars forming Leo's hind leg and foot.
