Steamboat Today: Letters to the editor

Katy Vineyard Post: Thanks, Steamboat

On Oct. 27, Cotopaxi Schools were honored to have Rachel’s Challenge present at our school. I couldn’t have brought this wonderful program to Cotopaxi without the generous donations made by my grandfather, Donald Lufkin, and my mother, Donna Vineyard.

Jessica Philip: Seeking tortillas

In reference to the article on the Mendoza family’s tortillas: I live a bit outside of town, but I would be very interested in buying some of their products while also supporting a local family/local business.

David Ihde: Salazar is wrong

I would like to respond to the article written by Congressman John Salazar in the Sunday edition of the Steamboat Pilot & Today.

Tracy Barnett: Sorry, Del

I want to apologize to Del DelHaute and his family for what has been perceived as an insensitive e-mail I sent Tuesday entitled “Epilogue Books is NOT going out of business.” This e-mail was sent from Mainstreet Steamboat Springs to let those on the Mainstreet e-mail list know that the bright neon signs on the windows in the space next to Epilogue announcing a Going Out of Business sale were not for Epilogue but for Del’s Jewelry. Epilogue was receiving calls very concerned about the sale and their pending demise. The letter was prompted by me and not by Epilogue. In these tough times, it is all every business can do to survive, let alone have to deal with conditions beyond their control. Impact from the economy and the recent downtown construction has been bad enough. Many people have thanked me for clarifying the question.

Pat Adams: Mountain lion sightings

I hope Jim Haskins, of the Division of Wildlife, will read “Beast in the Garden.”

Grant Fenton and Paul Strong: Thanks, Pilot & Today

We would like to thank the Steamboat Pilot & Today for a most rewarding experience. Having the opportunity recently to serve on the Editorial Board as community representatives proved to be meaningful and educational.

Bob and Bert Rundell: A great community

We would like to thank this wonderful community for all the outpouring of support and kindness shown to us and Grease Monkey and Big O Tires employees since the loss of our son, Dustin Dahlin.

Damon Schneider: Slap in the face

What Congress is doing is repugnant to the Constitution and is a slap in the face to individual liberty.

Ron Krall: Health care reform

Today, I want to break from the spirit of impartiality in which I tried to moderate the fireside chat and offer some comments about the pending health care reform legislation.

Steve Lewis: Lock in standards

The Let’s Vote group deserves our respect for standing up personally for what they believe.

Ken Collins: We always respond

It has been millions, literally, of Americans who have returned from war. Most have survived. Many have not.

Harriet Freiberger: Uplifted

On Tuesday, fifth-graders at Soda Creek Elementary School brought tears to my eyes.

The Wunder family: Thanks, Respite House

Our family recently had a wonderful experience using the new Rollingstone Respite House as a short-term care facility for a family member with advanced dementia.
