Roeber’s roots run deep in the North Fork Valley
Dear Editor:
Memorial Day this year found me walking through the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Paonia with my children. After visiting the graves of three generations of their great-grandparents we began to talk about the other North Fork Valley families who are represented by numerous headstones.
Firefighters were fabulous
Dear Editor:
There is no way we could extend our thanks to the fabulous firefighters, law enforcement officers and other volunteers except through your newspaper.
It is with grateful hearts to God and each of them that we all still have our homes in Cedaredge after the terrible fire on Friday.
Don’t vote on a friend’s say-so
Dear Editor:
We would like to start by first explaining our position on why and who we are voting for. This is not about voting against someone.
Base your vote on candidates’ knowledge, experience
Dear Editor:
The skullduggery and hyperbole surrounding elections never fails to flabbergast me.
In the June 6 edition of the DCI, Matt Soper apparently doesn't understand how big the county commissioner District 3 is, heavily implying that Peach Valley is part of the Delta District 1.
Social security cap should be removed
Dear Editor:
To answer Bernie Heideman's questions about what is "more likely" for most people ("The rich just keep getting richer, May 30), I need to point out that fueling resentment against the super rich by reminding the rest of us what we DON'T have is non productive argument. Tax increases on any segment of society trickle down to increased costs for the rest of us.
School board is out of control
Dear Editor:
Our school board is out of control. Not only are their decisions arbitrary, random and contradictory but show absolutely no understanding of educational governance or concern for students, district personnel or the community at large.
If you see something that doesn’t look right, call 911
Dear Editor:
A young Florida man is walking home from a convenience store. He is minding his own business and is no threat to anybody else, but another man spies him and for reasons known only to himself, he decides to follow that young man, even though a 911 operator he called to report what he was doing tells him not to do that.
The ideal candidate
Dear Editor:
Mark Roeber is an ideal candidate for Delta County Commissioner from District 3. Not only was he born and raised in the North Fork Valley, but he has made it home for himself, his wife and their four children.
Don’t let hunters take aim at sandhill cranes
Dear Editor:
A sandhill crane hunt has been proposed for Moffat and Routt counties. These are the cranes that come to Hart's Basin/Fruitgrowers each spring!
Roeber will protect our values
Dear Editor:
I am writing to support Mark Roeber for Delta County Commissioner. My family and I have known the Roeber family for many years.
