AHHHH-this is the same DOW that when called to get a bull elk out a my correl—showed up and instead of taking the time to chase him out—just took out a rifle and shot him–the Colorado DOW is a joke—they are totally selfserving–they work off of a different set of rules then the general public—DOW-what a waste of tax payers money!!!!

I agree that 1340 and Mr Moore have valid views and I appreciate hearing them–but I believe that the old TMH was providing adequate/quality services on the day it was closed—granted it may have presented some privicy issues—and there were some building issues—But can we say that the only option available was a multi-million dollar facility that is a duplication of the same type facility located only 45 minutes to an hour away to the east, and with a world class facility that is located in Grand Junction just 2.5 hrs away, and neither one of these facilities cost the tax payers of Moffat County a thing. I think we are beating this whole issue to death, but it sickens me to think about the potencial financial burden that the new hospital is going to put on the shoulders of the tax payers of Moffat County in the near future. With coal mining being cut back and oil and gas drilling pulling out of the state, I sure hope that tourism, ag and the area hunting business picks up to help with all the debt we as a community are piling up.

Hey 1340—You had an interesting argument going until you refered to Craig in the same sentence as major tourist attractions and then listed Disney Land and Vegas lodging rates in comparision to Craig's. Come on, keep it real!!!

To Mr Moore- I am sure your blog contains some very valid points — I am sure people using the facility think it is very nice—and I have no doubt that there were many issues with the building— I only hope that when our hard working cash strapped county (and I only see it getting worse) gets asked to dole out more of our hard earned wages to prop up a facility that was built soley for the reasons you state, that you and the rest of the proponents of the facility are the first to step up and pull out your billfold.

Hey 1340—Great guestions if you get the answers you want—but guess what—All my kids were born at TMH—my family had numerous (some recently, before it closed, and we all did VERY well) surguries at the old TMH—I can't ever remember anyone saying that TMH was City Maket or the court house—what a ignorant comparision —nice try, but you failed miserably to make a valid point, and your having to use sarcasim, proves you probably don't believe in your opinion. Why do you people think something has to be pretty to be effective??? I can't ever remember anyone saying the hospital ever hurt or hindered their health or recovery. I will never belive that the new hospital was anything more then just a group of people's pet project and they did a great job in wearing the community down in believeing we needed it. When the hospital comes back saying they can't pay for it, lets let all you “pretty hospital” supporters pay the difference and stay out of the rest of our pockets!!!! I am not trying to be nasty, and I do respect opinions, but really people, use some common financial sense and fore-sight and try and please leave the sarcasim out of it!!!!!

Wasn't this (the old hospital)the building that the public was lead to believe was in such terrible shape that we had to spend millions of tax payer monies to biuld a new one. Is anyone else thinking we may have been dooped?????

The passing of Marianna seems to at the very least seems Surreal—We all get in the comfort in thinking people such as Marianna will always be around to oversee things in our lives that we don't think we have time for (politics, community issues, etc). I believe we all should in honor of Marianna's memory and to the personal sacrifices she and her family have made, continue with her passions. We have lost a great person and human being. God Bless you Marianna and also your family, you truly made a difference in your short time with us.

Ok, To all you people living in your Glass Houses—lets see how many of you put step up to the plate and either run for Mr Vanette's and Mr. Snow's job or who will get involved in the process of improving the situation. I bet not a single one of you will. What is it, that causes people to go after people that are in the lime light, that may not be perfect, but make desisions that they feel is the best for all—not just for a vocal minority?? I f you are going to berate/critasize a person doing their job—have the decency to set up/get off your duff and make a constructive difference!!!!! If you don't have the energy/passion/commitment to do so, please hold your tongue and let people who do!!!!!!

To als362–I didn't mean to inply that you lied. I think I read your comment to say you “HEARD” a parent say —I assumed that your saying you “HEARD” the comment meant that you were not part of the conversation. A lot of misstatements are made through “hear say” and that is what I was trying to get across. And no I do not dispise myself—quite the opposite—My wife and I raised 3 kids here in Moffat County that have all went on to be very successful in their lives—All without the help of more ineffective laws that put our law enforcement in a very tough, impossible position. Success of our young people starts at home, not with additional laws. Again I am sorry if you took offense to a comment that wasn't directed at you personally.

This looks like to me as—”keep asking the same question, until you get the answer you want”— The comment that stated ” throwing a party so his teenage son could get drunk”— I really doubt that was said—maybe letting his son have a party so there could be some type of controls, maybe—face it people, young people are going to drink, with or without your blessing—let's acknowlege that fact and then approach it realistically—we can't expect the poice to babysit our kids—talk to your kids–if they want to experience liquor—let them in a controlled enviroment—chances are they will find the hype is more exciting then the reality—God I dispise people with their heads in the sand!!! But I guess that is what makes us a diverse people!!!!
