DMS students advocate recycling center
Dear Editor:
In the last three years, Tylor Redden, Sara Jurca and the entire recycling committee at Delta Middle School have worked very hard to integrate a recycling program at DMS. The program runs quite smoothly, but for a single hitch — the transportation of these goods.

Bear Ranch and Bull Mountain: What’s the connection?
Dear Editor:
I'd like to thank the Delta County Independent for some excellent reporting that has kept us informed about both the proposed Bear Ranch land exchange as well as gas leasing in our area. The article on March 25, "Former Gunnison Energy senior vice president becomes a whistleblower" is one that everyone should be paying attention to.

CASB’s interview process limits citizen input
Dear Editor:
Last week I wrote a letter concerning what is now looking even more like a "set-up" in regards to how the Colorado Association of School Boards (CASB) is handling the choosing of a new superintendent for Delta County Schools. The Delta County School Board hired CASB (pronounced kaz' bee) to help locate a new superintendent; originally they got us 20 applicants to choose from, but it seems like CASB is intent on minimizing citizen input to determine which of those candidates will be chosen!
Breitnauer, Lane are the best candidates

Work of trustees appreciated
Dear Editor:
I would like to personally thank Michael Meskel and Nelson Cederberg for their dedication and hard work as trustees of Cedaredge.

Calling all Delta Public Library users
Dear Editor:
Due to a shortfall in property tax values our beloved library needs our help. If all of the active users would donate a one time donation of $5 this year to the library they would meet their shortfall of $19,500 in no time.
Cedarberg’s efforts recognized
Dear Editor:
We want to give a big thank you to Nelson Cederberg, our outgoing trustee.
He has given four years of dedicated service to our town.
