What is your reaction to a decision by Moffat County Commissioners to pursue a resolution supporting the Second Amendment Rights of Moffat County residents?
| Response | Percent | |
|---|---|---|
| It’s the right thing to do. Hunting is a big part of the culture and economy in Moffat County, and our leaders should protect that local industry. | 71% | |
| It’s ridiculous. The Commissioners should focus on protecting Moffat County’s residents, not its guns. | 15% | |
| The resolution is nothing more than political pandering. Preserving Second Amendment rights is important, but it’s an issue decided at the national level, not locally. | 12% | |

- Stephanie Pearce: Give each day a new start
- February 18, 2013
- Not too long ago, I was having a conversation with my son about how I’ve raised him and made so many mistakes. He assured me that he has turned out OK. He also told me something that really hit home: He told me not to hold on to the past or to grudges, but to give each day a new start. I know, he’s pretty wise for being so young. This is easier said than done for most humans, but not so much for dogs. I have a dog that is really good at this.
