Re: Crystal Theatre AllianceI think (since the Crystal Theatre is now a kind of museum), that the way to preserve it and convert it into a money-making entity again would be to feature classic movies from the silent movie days, then the “talkies” and then the first technicolor movies — and, finally, classics of the […]

Re: GarCo ReportIt is easy for folks to criticize elected officials as they conduct the business of local government, but it is uncommon that we recognize our local leaders for doing the right thing.

Re: Nuclear powerAt the end of last week’s article “Nuclear power in Western Colorado revisited,” geothermal power is mentioned as another option for the Craig or Hayden powerplants. In my humble opinion, this has about zero likelihood of success in my lifetime. A little geo-hotspot exists in the Yampa Valley, but the local geology and […]
