Our View: Hayden airport analysis welcome
Although there’s no significant expansion of summertime air service in sight, there’s reason for optimism with YVRA’s soon-to-be-underway analysis of future needs at the regional airport west of Steamboat Springs.
Scott Wedel: Time to dissolve Yampa Valley Housing Authority
The disaster that is the Yampa Valley Housing Authority is complete. It is administratively incompetent, has incompetent business practices, ignores its own legal advice and misleads the public.
Diana Simon: Free from fracking
A June 2013 article in the American Journal of Nursing discussed possible health consequences caused by fracking. These consequences begin at the onset of drilling or last long after the process stops.
John Whittum: For historical record
On June 9, the Steamboat Pilot & Today featured an otherwise well-researched history of the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp, but it contained the outrageous notion that its founders (Portia and Charlotte) “dampened” the 50th anniversary (1963) as they “moved toward selling the property to Stephens College, of Columbia.”
Soren Jespersen: Invest in the Yampa
In a recent article on the growing sport of stand-up paddleboarding, Scott Ford compares Steamboat’s section of the Yampa River to an “amusement ride.”
Lynn Abbott: Democracy needs help
Six billion dollars. That’s the amount spent on the 2012 election. How many hungry mouths could $6 billion feed? How many crumbling bridges could it repair? How many children could it educate? How many jobs could it create? What a waste.
Our View: Signs a good short-term move
A proposal to allow downtown Steamboat Springs businesses to display sandwich boards through the busy summer season is a smart short-term compromise that promises to provide long-term guidance.
Our View: Steamboat Springs School Board makes right move with ballot question
We think it’s a no-brainer that Steamboat move toward at-large board seats. By moving forward with a ballot question to that end, the School Board now leaves it up to voters to decide.
Trish A. O’Haire: Crossword puzzles
Four across, three down/Why do these simple clues cause me to frown?
Rick DeVos: Thanks to everyone
I already can’t quite imagine not coming to work at Howelsen Hill. Of course, the thing I will miss most is interacting with everyone, from the athletes (very young through adult), parents, coaches, volunteers, administrators and board members.
Our View: Yampa Valley Housing Authority's foolish gamble
The Yampa Valley Housing Authority’s decision to stop making payments to First National Bank of the Rockies on a $2 million loan is a shortsighted stunt that puts the agency’s long-term future in doubt.
Kathy Cain: Photo indeed raw
The photograph on the front of Monday's Steamboat Today of Asher Lesyshen-Kirlan’s memorial service was indeed a raw one. The pain and grief jump off the page, but so does the love.
George Danellis: Thanks, public servants
In recent weeks, I was compelled to navigate a rarely used process relating to property title. Much of the process was bureaucratic, involving state and Routt County entities.
Tom Wither: Stop raining on the parade
In anticipation of the upcoming 4th of July parade, I have a big concern over the excessive and unwanted use of these super soakers that people on floats dispense out to the parade crowd.
Gardner Flanigan: Apology needed
As I picked up the Steamboat Today on Tuesday morning, I was instantly disappointed at the lack of judgment and compassion your editors chose with their need to show the picture of children overcome with grief at Asher’s memorial.
