What does ‘right to farm’ really mean?
Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to Mike Mason's letter from the May 30 edition. Private property rights are important to this county and this country.
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.

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:

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!
