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.

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.

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.

Scott L. Ford: Letter to Douglas
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.

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.

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.

As residents in one the oldest buildings on the mountain, the owners of units in Ski Time Square Condominiums consider ourselves to be good citizens of Ski Town USA. Some of us may not live here full time, but to all of us, it’s home — if only in our hearts.

Dennis O’Connor: Local landmarks?
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
The Historic Structure Policy Review Committee got it right when it made the ordinance voluntary instead of mandatory, even with respect to “local landmarks.”

Sandra B. Moore: Editorial off mark
Sunday, April 20, 2008
Your commentary headline of April 16, “No need for 700 vote,” reflected an elitist viewpoint indeed. Why not a vote on such an important issue as Steamboat 700 since it would affect every resident living here?

Sunday, April 20, 2008
Western Colorado’s greatest wealth is its land and water. If the current Bureau of Land Management proposal to turn oil shale into oil is adopted, the integrity of agriculture and wildlife habitat, of our public lands and water supply, will be threatened.

I wanted to take a moment and thank publicly the dedicated and interested community and school folks who helped make the Steamboat Springs High School spring musical theater production of “All Shook Up” a resounding success.

Sunday, April 20, 2008
Thank you for all your work regarding the issues surrounding Emerald Park and the Triple Crown organization. Back in the early ’90s I stood up in front of your predecessors and denounced Triple Crown stating that our town should promote our mountain sports for which we are famous, rather than team sports that seemed uncharacteristic given our lack of amenities (at the time).
