Letters to the Editor

To the fine people of Cheyenne County. My name is James Lengel.

I’ve been having flashbacks of the early 1960s, the protests, violence, student unrest in our colleges, government trust, or should I say, “No Trust” and the push by Hippies/Yippies to provide a shock value to our country. Look familiar?

My name is Rick Pelton and I’m running for Commissioner of District 3 of Cheyenne County. I’ve been married to my wife Beth for 42 years and raised two children in Cheyenne County.

Dear Editor,

The VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) since 1929 have been committed to account for all United States veterans from past wars. According to Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) more than 81,000 troops missing including 72,220 from World War II, 7,497 from the Korean War, 1, 579 from the Vietnam, 132 from the Cold War, Operation El Dorado Canyon (Northern Africa and the Persian Gulf War.

To the Editor:

State Representative Richard Holtorf, Candidate for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District (CD4), issued a statement in response to the April 30, 2024, Colorado State Republican Party’s (COGOP) questionnaire for endorsement sent by Vice Chair Hope Scheppelmann.

Editor,

The need for approval of Invenergy’s application is, in my mind, quite simple. We need it.

Dear Governor Polis,

We, the Kiowa County Board of Commissioners, would like to express our appreciation for your seemingly deep concern for the taxpayers of Colorado. We also support our residents and would love to lighten their tax burden.

Proposition HH would increase government revenue at a faster rate than Colorado TABOR allows.

As you may know, Senator Pelton and I were privileged to be invited on the 2019 Public Officials Mission Trip to Israel sponsored by Jewish Colorado. What an amazing experience that was, and such an incredible blessing to have been able to go when we did! As a result of that trip, we see Israel and its inhabitants through different eyes than we did before, and we feel almost like it’s a part of us (or we’re a part of it).

Cheyenne County Tumbleweed Fair was a huge success this year! With wheat harvest in full swing during the fair we still had a big turnout of fairgoers this year.

I know there will be talk and questions concerning the sirens going off in Kiowa County on the evening of August 8th. I want to let you and everyone know that the National Weather Service also has the ability to set off these sirens and did so on Tuesday evening.

Hello Ms Barnett and greetings from Tennessee.
