Hi Daryl,

Thanks for reading and responding to my blog.

Yes, the process for commenting may seem hard, but it looks like you’ve figured out.

Would like to hear your thoughts about any of the issues on the table.

My best,

Hi Ouizy,

Sorry I didn’t get to your comment yesterday.

Yes, we need to do everything necessary to preserve the health and safety of citizens in Loveland and along the Front Range.

I haven’t done any research on the dangers of fracking, but your letter suggests that you have information that you could share with readers via this forum.

What have you found out about the dangers posed by fracking?

Please forward info on fracking so others may inform themselves.

As you know the health of our democracy depends on informed citizens.

Thanks also for the important info on the mortgage issues which affect so many of our people.

Again, thanks for writing. Looking forward to receiving more information from you.

My best,
Val McC

For the table: Locally – stopping fracking and drilling in Loveland and surrounding areas.
Nationwide and Federaly – putting pressure on the President to fire Ed DeMarco and reset Principles on underwater mortgages along with low interest Government Mortgages. One third of all mortgages in this Country are underwater. Resolving that huge problem would be a huge boost to the Economy and many People's lives.

Comment on LET IT SNOW! by Valerie McCullough

Dear Janet,

Thanks for your comments on climate change here in Northern Colorado.

I remember one year–in the early seventies–when the snow piled as high as our Volkswagon Bug.

During those frigid winters of the 70′s, our daughters boarded horses in a nearby field. Because the horses’ usual source of water stayed frozen for weeks on end, water from our kitchen had to be hauled several blocks every morning before school.

Though we have some cold weather coming this weekend, I have serious concerns about the general warming of surface and water temperatures world wide.

I hope other readers will share their experiences of past winters in Northern Colorado.

Thanks again for writing,

val mccullough

We (my husband and I) live in Fort Collins and our daughter and grandson live in Loveland. Grandson just graduated from high school, and did not miss school because of a snow day until he was in high school. His mom who is in her late 30s, missed at least 2 or 3 days every school year (she went to school in Fort Collins). That's how much things have changed. I moved to Denver in the 60's, from Massachusetts, and could not believe how you could have a warm day, then a freezing day, then warm again. It was great! And we were surprised at how fast the snow melted. Back east, it snows and that snow turns dirty, then black, and just sort of stays around. That was one thing we loved about Colorado. I do worry about the climate change. Something is definitely going on, and the change is major. Hope other people comment on this — it would be interesting to get other opinions. Nice column! Janet

Comment on HURRICANE SANDY by Valerie McCullough

Thanks for your comments, Joyce.

That’s what I’ve been reading also. When ocean temperatures and sea levels rise, monster storms occur.

With the majority of climatologist agreeing that climate change is related to human activity, it makes sense to err on the side of caution by making changes in human activity and behavior.

For me, that won’t be easy, so I’ll have to work on it.

There’s interesting information on climate change in the National Geographic Daily News.com

Readers, share your information sites with us. Please chime in!

The rising temperatures of the ocean and the reduction in size of glaciers around the world seem to be enough evidence that climate change is real.
