Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor: My name is Sandra Lopez, the person who took sanctuary in Carbondale for 10 months. Thank you very much to my community, and to the Two Rivers Unitarian Universalist congregation.  Thanks to all of you, I kept my family together and was protected from deportation. I also thank The Sopris Sun for this […]

Dear Editor: I am a U.S. Citizen, living in Colorado, but I expect all of my senators to hear my plea. I have contacted every single senator in every state in our Union and I expect compliance to and with our Constitution. It is shameful that all senators are stuck in your own corners of […]

Dear Editor: What was troubling me and waking me at 2:30 a.m. Dec. 21 just when the earth began its shift promising longer days? I was troubled by the column in the December 20 Sopris Sun “For whom the bell tolls.” First, I pause to thank the leadership of our Sopris Sun in efforts to […]

Dear Editor: I just want to take this public forum to thank our Carbondale Post Office for their service not only this Christmas season, but throughout the year. Yes, we all have complaints about the postal service, missing mail, long lines, delayed packages, but let’s be appreciative with what the counter service personnel has to […]

Dear Editor: Steve’s Guitars usually offers one act and starts at 8:30 p.m. on Friday. Their 25th anniversary show on Saturday, Nov. 17 featured five acts and began at 7 p.m. Appropriately, the performers were all locals with strong ties to the venue. Valle Musica, a well-known valley Latin jazz group, was there. Guitarist Pat […]

Dear Editor: The people of Yemen are witnessing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Thousands have been killed since 2015, millions have been displaced, and the country is projected to face the worst famine in 100 years if airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition do not subside. Estimates released earlier this week approximate that 85,000 […]

Healthy Community Fund makes a difference Dear Editor: I am writing to express my support for Question 1A to renew the Healthy Community Fund, and illustrate the value of the fund with my professional and personal experience. Over the years, I have worked with many of the essential organizations receiving this funding. I have witnessed […]

7D a non-partison no-brainer Dear Editor: As a new member of the Foundation Board of Colorado Mountain College, I continue to be impressed with the school’s leadership and the opportunities our local college provides the students and citizens of Garfield County and the Western Slope. They include but are not limited to: • Affordable credit […]

RFTA serves many Dear Editor: This letter is in response to Bruno Kirchenwitz’s letter about RFTA being for the Aspen rich. This is about as far away from reality as a person can get, and is probably written by someone who never rides the bus. As a senior in Carbondale, I ride RFTA for free […]

Respect others Dear Editor: As I was leaving the grocery store parking lot, I noticed that my bumper sticker in support of Garfield County Commissioner Tom Jankovsky’s re-election was missing. I was then notified that several other signs have been stolen. My first question was why? Why would someone act in such a way? As […]
