Jimmy Westlake: Three Leaps of the Gazelle
I love star lore. The legends and stories attached to the stars carry us back centuries and tell us not only about the stars, but also about the stargazers of old.
Our View: Can't discuss police station without addressing fire department needs
Importantly, any decision about building a new police station shouldn’t be made without clarity on what the implications are for the city’s fire department.
Scott Glynn: Thanks to paper
Thank you for the supplement in Friday’s paper celebrating athletics in the Yampa Valley. It’s great to recognize their achievements and impart the tenants of hard work, commitment and determination to many of our younger, up-and-coming student athletes.
Gary Hofmeister: 'Just the facts, ma'am'
Thank God — and Fox News — we got a bunch of facts this week and some of us are having trouble wiping the vindicated smiles off our faces.
Garrett Wiggins: Why I joined the lawsuit
Since being elected and taking over the duties and responsibilities of sheriff, I am humbled more than I ever thought possible as I experience the highs and lows of serving in such a diverse position.
Sally TeStrake: Broadening our focus
I disagree with the editorial published in Tuesday’s edition of the Steamboat Today (“Keep it rolling, Steamboat”).
Johnny Spillane: Supporting Scott
The time has come for us to give back to someone who has contributed so much to this community. As many of you know, Scott Blair has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Scott has helped so many people in this community, including myself, and it is time for us to repay him by opening our hearts, and our wallets, to help a friend.
Our View: Keep it rolling, Steamboat
Four years into the Bike Town USA initiative, it’s hard to see anything but positives about the long-term vision as well as the specific projects that have been completed and the many more on the to-do list.
Nancy Stahoviak: Actions misinterpreted
I believe that in the letter published in the Saturday Steamboat Today (“Applaud commission”), Harry Thompson, Steve Elkins, Amy Williams and Jody Camilletti (on behalf of Citizens Supporting Private Property Rights) misinterpreted the comments and actions of the Routt County Board Commissioners at the hearing regarding the Entek oil and gas well.
Fred Schupner: Post office mistake
I was at the new post office yesterday to pick up mail and had several pieces to mail. I searched the post office for 40 minutes looking for a mail slot, and there was none to be found. I finally had to take the mail outside to the drive-up box to get it mailed. Good job Steamboat, you have to be the only post office in the states that does not have a place for customers to mail letters.
Our View: Pot laws are a step forward
Just in the nick of time last week, Colorado lawmakers came together to pass legislation establishing the regulatory framework for retail marijuana business in the state.
Citizens Supporting Property Rights: Applaud commission
Colorado’s resort communities are usually full of politicians who demagogue the oil and gas industry. This is not the case with the new Routt County Board of Commissioners. Commissioners Tim Corrigan and Steve Ivancie joined incumbent Commissioner Doug Monger after being sworn in January 2013 and December 2012, respectively.
Theo Dexter: Cartoon poor taste
The editorial cartoon on page 9 of Friday’s Steamboat Today is in extremely poor taste. To capitalize on the crimes perpetrated upon the three women who were held captive in Cleveland for the sake of political commentary is beneath contempt.
Tom Maneotis: Stick up for taxpayers
On May 1, an article in the Greeley Tribune explained how oil and gas production has helped Weld County. From two companies the county has received $148 million in property taxes. One of the benefits listed was free groundwater monitoring for residents concerned about their water wells.
Chris E. O’Halloran: Setting record straight
Storm Mountain Express applauds the Steamboat Today editorial board for its position (“Despite flaws, airport decision right,” May 5 Pilot & Today) regarding our pursuit to provide “limited” walk-up service to passengers arriving at Yampa Valley Regional Airport. Storm Mountain Express has provided a quality, customer-oriented transportation service to the guests of our community for the past 16 years. However, we have struggled with the “good ol’ boys club attitude” of contract renewals that has plagued ground transportation since the late ’90s.
