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.

Let’s get organized as a community to keep our home pristine

To be clear, I am one of the fortune few. I am one of the lucky ones to call Livingston my home. I recently moved my family from the ever-expanding Denver metro area. Moving northward, I am confident I have found my forever home in Yellowstone’s gateway. And although their 2-year old minds can’t possibly comprehend it, my two young sons will be forever grateful of the decision their parents made to leave the “comfort” of a booming metropolis to live, work, and play in the Paradise Valley.

County cuts could and should be made from the top down

Editor:

At the June 28 Park County Commission meeting, discussion was heard regarding Commissioner Tinsley’s agendized proposal to cut the human resource (HR) and road supervisor positions in an effort to meet 2016-17 budgetary spending. The duties of the two positions were slated to be absorbed by other personnel. HR is mandated by the employee handbook and subsequently Section 7 of the 2007 Order of Settlement DV 06-101. 

Gravel pit, asphalt plant would destroy land rich in history and beauty

With reference to the application for a gravel pit, 4 miles south of Emigrant on Highway 89, there are a host of reasons it should be denied. From geological antiquity, history, environmental concerns, not to mention the overall ambience and pristine quality of Paradise Valley, the gateway to Yellowstone Park.

Excellent plays, talented people

On Sunday night I attended “Chicago,” a musical vaudeville play at the Shane Center. It was excellent with such talented actresses and actors and a band.

Artistic Director W.R. Lewis introduced the play and thanked all the sponsors and all the volunteers. It will be on Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. “Broadway Bound” next and “Shrek.”

We are so fortunate to have the Buckhorn Theater and the Blue Slipper with so many talented people in the community.

Thoughts on proposed gravel pit and asphalt plant

Published on Tue, 07/05/2016 - 3:37pm

As one of several Park County land owners adjacent to the proposed gravel pit and asphalt plant, I wanted to briefly express my thoughts and opinion on this issue and future ones that I’m sure Park County will continue to face.

One small step for me, one giant step for waste pickup sustainability

Published on Fri, 07/01/2016 - 2:38pm

At the risk of sounding like a whining ninny, I have to say out loud it’s not my fault. Three weeks ago I painted the otherwise blue lid of my yard waste can green to ensure the city employees continued to pick up my yard waste on Tuesday mornings. This seemed a reasonable course of action at the time. Thursday’s Enterprise article on Livingston’s waste disposal woes includes a passage where painting blue cans green is cast as detrimental to the supply of blue cans. 

I have to defend myself. I am not a blue can misappropriator.
