Drilling will hurt more than help
Dear Editor:
The North Fork Alternative for the BLM's updated Resource Management Plan deserves the support of the Hotchkiss Town Council. The alternative, which deals only with lands with federally-owned minerals, is sound and represents the work of a fairly wide group of participants.
Marston’s experience is needed
Dear Editor:
I am writing to support Ed Marston's re-election as director of DMEA.
I served as a board member for 12 years and served as the board's president for the last seven of my term.
Lund understands decisions have consequences
Dear Editor:
I am writing this letter to ask that all DMEA members vote for Olen Lund in the upcoming board election. Olen has proven his ability to be fiscally responsible and mindful of the needs of the citizens.
It pays to shop locally
Dear Editor:
I recently bought (leased) a new car from Patrick Hellman at Hellman Chevrolet-Buick on Main Street. It was the quickest, most honest, overall best deal I have ever made, and I have purchased about 15 vehicles in my life.
Don’t cut down the healthy trees
Dear Editor:
As property owners on Main Street in Delta we were horrified to learn of the tree cutting that the city parks department has started implementing. Seeing all the stumps on both sides of 5th Street made us physically ill.
Celebrate National Drug Court Month
Dear Editor:
Drug-Free Delta County would like to invite the community to share in our celebration of National Drug Court Month on Thursday, May 16, at 4 p.m. in Judge Sandra Miller's courtroom in the Delta County Courthouse. We hope you'll enjoy seeing adult treatment court in action and stay after to share in refreshments to support our drug court clients, their families, our treatment court team and volunteers.
You reap what you sow
Dear Editor:
My wife and I moved here to Delta in May 1999 from Buffalo, N.Y. We like it here.
The rest of the story
Dear Editor:
DMEA members have been getting robocalls that pretend to ask your opinion but are actually telling you:
• That alternative energy will cost rural Colorado $2 billion.
Trees provided beauty, shade for downtown
Dear Editor:
Help! What is happening to my wonderful city? One of the many reasons I chose Delta to return to in my retirement was the beauty of our Main Street area — a large part of this beauty being the wonderful trees along our sidewalks.
BLM urged to do it right this time
Dear Editor:
With its ranches, farms, wineries and small towns, the North Fork Valley is an amazing place.
After coming together twice now, the community has rallied to stop irresponsible oil and gas leasing proposals from the local Bureau of Land Management office in Montrose.
