Use defensive driving on US 89 South

Published on Fri, 07/15/2016 - 4:22pm

Thursday’s Enterprise had a good editorial by Dwight Harriman, Enterprise news editor, on the dangers of driving on Highway 89 South, especially during tourist season. As Dwight noted, we had 11 people injured in two accidents last Tuesday and we have had five people killed in traffic accidents since 2011.

I live off Highway 540 and by choice seldom drive Highway 89 until Carter’s Bridge, especially during hot summer tourist months.

Camper unfairness

I had an older model camper that I had totally remodeled inside and out. It wasn’t an Airstream, but it was perfect to take my three grandsons camping safely. It was registered, licensed and parked in front of my house. The police came and told me someone said that someone was living it. Totally untrue. I even showed the officer that it was padlocked shut, and I was forced to move it or it would be impounded! Now I had to sell it because I had nowhere to put it.

Help keep Paradise Valley pristine

We own property in Emigrant, about 1 mile south of the proposed gravel pit and asphalt plant. We joined our Emigrant neighbors in adamantly opposing the permitting of this facility and want to thank everyone in the community who came together to voice our shared opposition. We would also like to thank The Enterprise staff, especially Liz Kearney, who wrote the article published on July 6, for their informative reporting on the issues surrounding this proposal. 

It can’t get better than this

I want to thank The Livingston Enterprise, and John Sullivan, publisher, for all the publicity that you have given me all these years in my reaching the unbreakable record of announcing the Livingston Roundup Rodeo Parade for 68 consecutive years and being accepted in the Guinness Book of World Records. I have made many friends throughout the country who have seen the parade and have visited with me. 1949 was my first year I started this.

Effect of gravel pit would be devastating

As we sit by the Yellowstone in beautiful Paradise Valley, we revel in the mountains and wildlife. We, in addition to thousands of visitors from all over the world who come to Paradise Valley, are concerned about what would happen to make a negative impact. We were recently informed that there is a proposal for an additional gravel pit and new asphalt plant to be built outside of Emigrant. 

Ignorant song

Let me first start this off by saying that I am a farmer, I grew up in Livingston, I play music and I love good country music. And I am patriotic. But not in the way that I have to tell other Americans or show anyone. It’s in the way that I love people: I try my best to take care of them, to love them and to understand them. Indeed, the people and the places that I love the most in my life are American.

Asphalt plant/gravel pit sends wrong message

Let’s act before there’s a tragic bike accident on route to hospital

It was with great sadness that I read about the accident in Park City Wednesday which took the life of a grandfather accompanying his grandson to school by bicycle.

I, along with many other employees, visitors and patients, ride my bike most days to the new hospital. Every time, I cross my fingers and hold my breath hoping to avoid being hit by a car.

Concern about air quality in our national parks

Our national parks are among our nation’s greatest treasures. They are places where people, especially children, can experience the outdoors, get active, and develop a healthy lifestyle through fun activities like hiking, swimming and climbing.
