Our View: Spillane’s career noteworthy even by Steamboat standards
Even in a city that bills itself as Ski Town USA and is home to more Winter Olympians than any other community in the country, Johnny Spillane stands out above the crowd.
Paul Potyen: Support SB 252
As a member of the Yampa Valley community who is concerned about environmental issues, I support Senate Bill 252.
John Spezia: Just the facts
There is an old saying that states, “Everyone can have their own opinions, but not their own facts.” When opinions move into the realm of facts, citizens, elected representatives, voters and public officials make bad decisions and pronouncements.
Glenda Tibbs: Drive safe
Please be aware of all those construction signs out there for slower speeds.
Our View: A special graduation for CMC
College officials will tell you that all commencements are special, but there’s no denying that Colorado Mountain College Alpine Campus’ spring 2013 commencement ceremony is of particular significance.
Chuck McConnell: Costly to rural Colorado
If the Colorado Assembly has its way, the electric bills of hundreds of thousands of rural Colorado families, ranchers, farmers and businesses will increase needlessly.

Bill Marolt: Best-in-the-world athlete
The past decade has seen the U.S. Nordic Ski Team’s greatest success. That is in no small part due to Johnny Spillane’s leadership and commitment to excellence.
Dr. David Criste: Good job, Senate

Kenny Reisman: Be smart about alcohol
Some adults will host parties where alcohol is provided because they think they can better protect teens in supervised situations. However, these beliefs and misperceptions are not supported by research.
Our View: Ski season success a tribute to resort workers
With another ski season in the books, it’s appropriate to stop and thank the personnel at Steamboat Ski and Resort Corp. for a job well done in this the 50th anniversary season.
Jim and Gayle Dudley: A caring community
Having lived in Steamboat for 34 years, we knew what a special place it is, but we are overwhelmed with the support and love that has poured out for our family.
Laurie Edwards: Congratulations, choir
Regarding the April 16 Steamboat Today article “Choir earns ‘superior’ rating at competition,” I had the pleasure of accompanying the group (on piano) for the event in Craig on Monday.
