Fly away Once again, the peace and quiet of Elk Springs subdivision is disturbed by a low level turbocharged airplane, likely flying out of Glenwood Springs airport. I know it was turbocharged because of the extreme noise it created and how fast the pilot was doing loops.  This occurred at 10 a.m. and lasted for 20 minutes. Why must the pilots from Glenwood airport choose a populated area to do aerobatics?  It is not only a nuisance, it is also an extreme fire risk. If the plane were to experience engine failure and go down, it could create a wildland fire that would take significant resour...

Our Founding Fathers initially rejected democracy Thanks, Cindy Ryman, for your timely letter on Jan. 18, reminding our citizens to “Fly the Flag.”  We’re most proud to have our office flag flying at 30 feet.

His desire to stay in power is so strong that, since Nov. 3, he has lied about winning the...

Heartbreak and hope The heartbreak is the 300,000 lives lost to COVID in 2020 and 3,000 more each day. The food insecurity and people being evicted from their homes, under the leadership of Trump and the Republicans, and trying to totally destroy our democracy, is so much part of the hearbreak. The hope is Joe Biden and Kamala Harris going to the White House to restore some sense of decency, honesty and civility once again. The great hope is the vaccine, which is being administered at this time to the front-line workers and doctors in the hospitals across our great nation. Even though Trump h...
