Movie critic a pleasure

What a nice addition to our newspaper, having a local movie critic. How refreshing to have our own critic. Mr. Bockelman gives us a preview and a personal review of the latest movies. His column is definitely an asset to our local paper. Keep up the good work, Andy. We really enjoy it.

And thank you for allowing Speak Up to be in the paper. I do appreciate it.

Editor's note: Andy Bockelman, a 2004 graduate of Moffat County High School and a junior at University of Northern Colorado, has been writing periodic movie reviews for the Daily Press.

Deserving of support

I feel sorry for the guy wanting to build green in this coal town. There are not too many people who will support him, as he's finding out, and that makes it very difficult to stay motivated. Other counties recognize green building efforts and educate themselves so they can be a resource to the builder. Your home could be a beautiful, great house with the support of the community. Don't give up. Also, you've got to show your neighbors what the finished project will look like.

Editor's note: The Daily Press ran a story on Saturday about David Greathouse, who is attempting to build a house framed with tires and mud on Thompson Hill.
