  • No transparency for stormwater group

        Editor:
        On Monday, April 30, a group of hard-working citizens converged on the county building for public comment regarding stormwater pollution. They were brought together by a shady organization called Stop Stormwater Utility Assoc iation (SSUA).
        This organization does not appear on the Secretary of State’s web site, although they are raising money and engaging in political activity.

  • Letter: Thanks in this time of mourning

        I want to extend my most sincere appreciation to everyone for their acts of kindress, prayers and sympathies on the loss of my beloved husband, Dennis Koch. I also send my gratitude and appreciation to the EMS first responders, Pat Tabor and Tabor-Rice Funeral Home. On behalf of our large extended family, thank you. Dennis would have been touched.

  • Letter: Thanks to those who made Help for Homes a reality

        We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Brighton Fire Department members. These men and women made up the team that volunteered to paint our garage as a part of the Help for Homes project. It took this team of 20+ about eight hours to complete a job that would have taken a disabled/senior homeowner a week to complete, if it got done at all.

  • Letter: Help out May 11 as part of the letter carriers' food drive

        Brighton currently has five community food pantries, providing food assistance to over 900 families each month. They are always in need of healthy, non-perishable food to give to their clients, and we have an opportunity to help them.

        On Saturday, May 11, the 21st annual National Association of Letter Carriers food drive will take place. All you need to do is place a bag of non-perishable food next to your mailbox, and your letter carrier will pick it up when they deliver your mail.

  • Thanks for supporting the BHS mini-Relay for Life

        Editor:
        I would like to say a great big ‘thank you’ to many businesses and people for their support of the first Brighton High School mini-Relay For Life held April 7. Thanks to all these folks we successfully raised $750 toward our fight against cancer.

  • Senate energy bill goes too far

        Editor:
        Co-ops in Colorado were legislatively mandated in 2007 to have 10 percent of their members’ energy needs supplied by renewable energy resources by 2020. There is a Senate bill, introduced only a few weeks ago, that is being quickly forced through the process at the Colorado Legislature that would significantly change this.

  • Learn how to support local food pantries

       Dear Editor,
        As the director of the Calvary Chapel Food Pantry, I wish to express my appreciation to Beth Hester, owner of Brighton Supper Solutions. Beth has recently donated meals to our food pantry, which we have been able to give to some of our Senior clients. They were thrilled to receive these “fresh frozen” (no preservatives) meals, which were easy for them to prepare, and provided them with a quality of food not always available through a food pantry.

  • Bob Grant for United Power

        To The Editor:

Their people participate throughout the community on boards and committees, giving of their time to make Brighton a better community.
