Murray Tucker: Audacity of hope
Sunday, May 11, 2008
I support the candidacy of Barack Obama for president because I see a bright future for the United States. I am troubled that so many in my age group (retired) are fearful that if we let down our guard, some boogeyman will capture our bodies and minds and destroy our way of life. If there is a message in Obama’s quest for the presidency, it is that this country is great, its people are great, and we can accomplish anything we set our collective mind to doing.

Sunday, May 11, 2008
Isn’t it wonderful that we all live in such a beautiful place, the Yampa Valley? We all know that our errands will take twice as long because we bump into a friend, a neighbor, an acquaintance or someone who wants to say hello and visit. It is nice to catch up on things and have the time in our day to spread good cheer.

Steamboat Springs School District officials are wise to pursue a land donation from the developers of Steamboat 700. But their request that developers fund half the cost of building a future school is unreasonable.

Wednesday, May 7, 2008
On any ordinary day, my friends and I practice good stewardship by loving our mother Earth and collecting any trash that gets passed by. Every day becomes a day to appreciate and care for our heritage and our future with the earth, through conscious efforts.

Sunday, May 4, 2008
I enjoy your columns. I applaud you for your willingness to weigh in on community issues rather than focusing on ones far beyond the borders of the Yampa Valley. You have touched a few “hot buttons” with comments about Triple Crown.

Sunday, May 4, 2008
Driving down gorgeous River Road a few days ago, I was surprised to see a new sign that read “Litter Bites.” Not only is the sign an ill-suited glaring blue color, but the language upon it is offensive and unnecessary.
Read story.Omar M. Campbell: Bias in support
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
“No need for 700 Vote” (Today, April 16) is the second ViewPoints editorial supporting the 700 LLC speculation — and presumably other unrestrained growth, as well. It lauds the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan, conceived 13 years ago, with its stated goal to direct growth away from the metro area of the town. The bias of the paper’s Editorial Board in supporting the 700 project is obvious.

The three-part “City Limits” series, which concluded in Sunday’s Steamboat Pilot & Today and explored annexations in Minturn, Durango, Granby and Hayden, provided valuable insight for local officials and developers working on the proposed Steamboat 700 annexation just west of Steamboat Springs.
Read story.Michael Turner: Triple Crown facts
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
In his column (and I use that term loosely) April 23, Rob Douglas again proceeded to brush aside facts and legitimate concerns through a feeble attempt at humor laced with arrogance and pompous rhetoric. Those who voice complaints concerning Triple Crown are “doobie smoking” dreamers living in a mythical world with no legitimate grievances that he can determine. Well, Mr. Douglas, here are some facts. Four years ago, my wife and I purchased a townhome near the base of the ski mountain in what is commonly known as the Mountain Village. This was after many years of living outside the city limits. After all of those years of experiencing quiet evenings with our doors and windows open during the summer, we accepted that we would now be experiencing what we called “city noise.” The reality is that there is not generally much city noise. During those years of living outside of the city limits, we never really paid much attention to Triple Crown. We just knew that there were a bunch of big SUVs with ridiculous sayings painted on the windows filling up the parking lot at the market for several weeks during the summer.
