I have written several letters to the editor of the Vail Daily and am always asked to cite my sources regarding factual statements. In fact, the newspaper’s requirements for letter submission include ”claims made have to be supported by facts and must cite sources as needed.” I continually note that statements made by politically liberal letter writers are printed without any reference sources. Consider Linda Car’s letter of late, “Remaking America,” stating that “Republicans are trying to do away with fair and free voting rights and health care for women and legal abortion” with no source cited. If I wrote in and said the Democrats want to cheat on voting and kill babies, I most certainly would rightfully hear from the editor to cite my sources.

Growing up in Eagle, Colorado, I have fond memories as a child visiting the Glenwood Springs Mall. I bought my first cassette tape, R.E.M.'s New Adventures in Hi-Fi, at the record store there, I got my driver's license there, and I saw my first R-rated movie there, (1999's Deep Blue Sea.)

“Yampa Valley Curse.” Where did this phrase come from and why does it continue? I just read it in this paper not too long ago. I’ve enjoyed the Yampa Valley for almost 50 years now, and have never felt cursed. We, who are lucky enough to live in this beautiful valley are blessed.
