Craig Daily Press / Letters to the editor

Lee and Donna Jons: Thanks for prayers

We’re happy to be back at the ranch but want to express our gratitude to everyone who said prayers, sent cards, brought flowers and all the wonderful visitors while Lee was at Sandrock.

Yampa River State Park staff: Great times had by all

The staff at Yampa River State Park would like to thank the Daily Press for the excellent promotion and coverage of our sixth Annual Ski & Skate event.

Jan Fritz: Cancer care available

We are quite concerned that a Jan. 28 article in the Craig Daily Press misrepresented the availability of cancer care in the Yampa Valley.

The Chapman family: Thanks, everyone

The family of Maurice R. Chapman would like to thank everyone who sent flowers, cards, brought food or just stopped by.

Dale Potter: A counterargument

Ryan Neece’s article on homosexuality was well thought out and well written. However, I would like to present to Ryan and his readers the reasons why I disagree with him.

Moffat County School Board: Guiding principles

We would like to take this opportunity to offer the following guiding principles that Moffat County School Board members will keep at the center of our discussions regarding our upcoming budget.

Jim Blevins: High-speed rail is wise

I strongly disagree with the letter to the editor that maintained that railroad construction was not a good way to create jobs. That the initial jobs that are created are engineering jobs sounds good to me — engineers are as deserving of jobs as anyone else.

Dick Prosence: Rails not a good idea

The total debt is a staggering amount and incomprehensible to most of us. And yet our president stands before Congress and proposes spending more than $8 billion on high-speed rail in various locations, including Florida and California. This is part of his “jobs” bill, formerly called “stimulus.”

Rick Barnes: Advice on census

I would like to remind everyone that the only questions you need to answer on the 2010 census is the age, sex, and name of each person in your household, nothing more, no matter how much they ask or threaten with repercussions.

Lyn Cox: Thanks to community

I am writing because it still amazes me about how generous and wonderful people can be. This past week, my daughter and son-in-law, Amy and Rick Bustad, received an amazing gift.

Lawrence L. Sobe: Haiti devastation

The earthquake in Haiti has the attention of the whole world. It is truly a tragedy, and yet the American people are only being told of the devastation and loss of life.

The Humane Society of Moffat County: Thanks for donations

The Humane Society of Moffat County would like to thank Elna Yoast and Jannice and Michael Cutler for the monetary donations.

Dale Potter: An accurate depiction?

I would like to comment on the political cartoon in Saturday’s paper showing the devastation in Haiti. The idea that the cartoon seems to promote is that God is to blame for the earthquake and all the devastation (entitled “ACT OF GOD”) and that all the good credit goes to those helping the victims (entitled “ACT OF HUMANITY.”)

Julie Dempster: Recognizing bullying

I sat in on the Moffat County School District’s Accountability Committee meeting Thursday night with the intention of listening in on proposed changes to the school calendar and budget. But it was a completely different topic that grabbed my attention.

MCHS Student Council: Thank you for support

The Moffat County High School Student Council would like to thank MCHS students and staff, as well as the local community for their support for our Cystic Fibrosis Foundation fundraiser.
