Letters to the Editor

Dear editor: On March 26, Spray Lake Sawmills noted a letter in the Eagle titled, ‘Natural drainage is essential’ regarding watershed management and reclamation/reforestation and would like to take this opportunity to contribute to the discussion.

Dear editor: With National Volunteer week coming up, does anyone wonder why people volunteer? For me it’s all about being part of the community, and we all know volunteering is alive and well in our town.

Dear editor: It’s that time of year again. Let’s set the agenda here. Cochrane is bicycle heaven, and that’s a fact. I live here in part because I wanted to live at the base of the Big Hill.

Dear editor: I’m writing to you in response to the letter that was written by David Gillette and published in the Eagle’s March 26 edition.

Dear editor: I would like to thank reporter Connor Morrell for the excellent article, ‘Amputees speak to students’ (March 26) featuring Jerlena Rittwage and Nadine Richards, members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.

Dear editor: I take offense to the comments made by David Gillette in his letter March 16. As a local citizen, I applaud the RCMP in their efforts to reduce distracted driving and speeding.

Dear editor: With severe weather events predicted to increase, 2013’s devastating flood may be one of several to occur in our lifetime. Forests act as sponges in the hydrological cycle, storing water and slowing its release.

Dear editor: I have been following the progress in the application of Standing Stone Developments (SSD), which has been submitted to Rocky View County (RVC) for the redesignation of the zoning for the eastern half of Sec 35-28-5 W5 from ranch and far

Dear editor: While it was nice to see my son mentioned in the March 26 edition of the Eagle, I wanted to note that there were a great number of Cochrane kids who participated in the various festivals occurring during the month of March.

Dear editor: I wish to write, inform, and protest the events I witnessed this past week. At the bottom of the Cochrane hill, I witnessed the local RCMP set up and hidden behind bushes.
