Making Delta a better place
Dear Editor:
Often heroes step into our lives and are rarely, if ever, noticed. These are the real heroes, not the made up media-hyped kind.
DMEA board action damages member trust
Dear Editor:
The DMEA board last Tuesday took an unprecedented and very troubling action of rewriting bylaw language so that Glen Black could continue to represent the members of DMEA. The cooperative's attorney stated that Mr. Black was qualified when he was elected but became unqualified when the City of Delta chose to compete directly with DMEA in the acquisition of services for the new Maverik store.
Crawford takes reasoned approach to marijuana
Dear Editor:
I first wish to thank the Crawford Town Council and our mayor, Susie Steckel. This council is addressing the marijuana issue head on . . . how will prohibition or regulation affect our community?

In reviewing our current political situation, it is difficult to understand how a well-informed electorate could possibly re-elect a man who has buried the country in debt, done nothing to resolve the unemployment problem, imposed an onerous health care law, and put the economy on a self-destruct course.
Montessori teachers are equally qualified

The North Fork Community Montessori School is not a private school. We are a contract school within the Delta County School District.
Don’t let partisan politics divide the county
Dear Editor:

Democrats aren’t being honest about minimum wage
More motorized routes should be closed
Dear Editor:
Recently the Colorado Mule Deer Association hosted a sportsmen's presentation in Grand Junction on BLM roads/trails, and is apparently of the opinion that, "Being able to drive into an area that has had a ... road or ATV trail is critical for hunters and anglers." We should all endeavor to remind our fellow hunters that motorized overuse and abuse is one of the biggest threats to public lands habitat and hunting in Colorado and nationwide.
