  • LETTER: Transforming Adams County transportation

    Dear editor,

    From my vantage point at the center of Commerce City, where I grew up, the changes I’ve experienced in the northeastern edge of the Denver Metro region that are related to transit have been staggering as they’ve unfolded over the years.

  • LETTER: Behind the picture: helping a neighbor

     Dear editor,

    Thank you to the Brighton Standard Blade for printing the March 1953 picture “Helping A Neighbor,” in your March 14 edition.  

    Behind the picture is a wonderful story that many feel needs to be re-told, here today, some 65 years later. Within this story is a message, of how being a good neighbor made for a good community, and a message that should be shared with the younger generations of today.

  • Letter: Community spirit comes alive

    Dear editor,

    In the March 28 edition, there are two articles that make me glad I am a  subscriber to The Brighton Standard Blade!  

     

    The first appears on the third page, and features the story of a remarkable young woman, Lali Perez. With more encouragement and acknowledgement of Lali and others with hearts like hers, we would have a lot less bullying and hate-filled behaviors in our schools and in society.

  • LETTER: Childcare legislation would help residents

    Dear editor,

    As a pastor and member of Shepherding the Next Generation, I see firsthand  how parents in our congregation work with their children to become successful and involved members of our community. 

    But parents cannot do it alone.

    Early child-care centers play a critical role in supporting families.

  • LETTER: Clean air will help Colorado move forward

    It’s well understood that pollution from burning coal is bad for our air and bad for our lungs. This issue especially affects people in low-income communities and communities of color, as they are more likely to live near coal-fired power plants and, as a result, are more likely to suffer health consequences.
