Dear Editor, I met Lucretia Free 5 years ago. After a friendly conversation she invited me to write an article for the paper she started in the Tanque Verde Valley. I took the opportunity to opine on topics such as Federalism, Socialism ect. I wanted to use the freedom of press to fully participate as a citizen and see what came of it. An...
The Vail Voice received a number of responses to a Letter to the Editor published in last month’s paper about Rabbi Shemtov’s use of “G-d.” Below is a reprint of what he wrote in his September article. Publisher From Rabbi Yisroel Shemtov’s column that ran in October: “You may notice in my article that G-d is...
Dear Editor, A comment in your last publication from a reader that states the Vail School District should NOT respect parent’s wishes is both alarming and wrong. A parent’s rights/authority, over their children, does not stop at the threshold of the school building. It is within the rights of the parent to choose whether or not a medical...

With that said the letter to the...

As such, I sent a letter to Sheriff Nanos and he has not responded. I’m still very concerned about our constitutional rights being trampled. Will you help...
Dear Editor : I really like Alisha Brewers article on snakes this month! It’s just the right message for spring when the snakes are appearing. The little gopher snakes are our good friends and are at risk of being run over by those who think all snakes are bad. Thank you, Alisha! Lois Rose Dear Editor, Just wanted to say l really enjoyed your...
Dear Editor: We would like to voice support for Catherine Kaiser’ s superbly done letter to the editor and much needed outrage at the powers who could easily do something about roadside trash. My wife and I were recently dumbfounded by the trash at I-10 and Valencia. No question, worst ever. How can people defile our pristine desert in such...
Dear Editor: We are asking Santa Rita Ranch 11 Home Owners Association Members in good standing if they would consider joining us as concerned HOA members. Our intent is to challenge the authority of the board of directors of this Home Owners Association in their decision to increase our home owner’s fees. As you may be aware, the first increase...
