My Life, My Words: Aletha Dove — ‘Born in the kitchen’
June 13, 2011
“Heart of the Home Kitchens is the showroom for our business, Blue Ribbon Kitchens, which is the designs and sales of the cabinetry, countertop and all the other things we sell. I’ve owned it with my sister, Cindy (Wright), for four years. We’ve had the showroom for three. We both have always used kitchens a lot. I had a kitchen that had to be remodeled, and I wasn’t liking the way that anybody was able to do it. I had designed additions to my home and I thought that if I wanted it to be done right, I need do it myself. Cindy had already worked for a cabinet shop in Steamboat years ago, so she helped me and we just got busy and designed my kitchen and loved it. So we decided that would be our business, and I would quit City Market. I worked there for almost 20 years.

Cathy Copeland: ‘Reason to reflect’
June 13, 2011
To the editor: There are few moments in any person’s life when they are truly terrified, but they are moments that give you reason to reflect and appreciate. On June 10, I watched my son sit on a ledge 2-feet by 1-foot on the south-facing side of a cliff face in Castor Gulch, terrified he would not have the strength to keep his balance after seven hours of sitting there until help could arrive. As a mother, you pray your child would never be in such a spot, literally hanging off a cliff. On this night, God sent four angels to rescue our son in Craig Fire/Rescue uniforms.

June 13, 2011
I’m a 66-year-old mother of two, grandmother of four. I have been verbally abused my entire life — first by my father and now by my daughter. I love my daughter, but I’m ready to dismiss her from my life in order to preserve what sanity I have left. I am afraid to be in the same room with her because I never know what will set her off. The problem, of course, is her children.
