Lisa Brown: Support appreciated
Thank you to everyone who helped us celebrate 20 years of Hospice on June 10 at Catamount Ranch & Club golf course and the Larson Barn.
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.
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.
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.
Judith Emerson: Respect walkers
The media in Steamboat is doing such a good job of presenting the town as a bike-riding Mecca that some bikers are under the impression that all the trails are for bicycles only.
Chuck McConnell: Get the other side
In this age of controversy and divisiveness, getting people to reach an agreement on an issue long enough to move a problem or issue positively forward seems impossible.
Tina Kyprios: Preventing tragedy
As a gun owner, a serious conservative and a Republican Party member, I submit that we need to do more to control guns.
