I recently read the story on the woman in Tooele who was bitten by a pit bull in the article "Dog attack raises difficult questions" on May 6. Thank you for reiterating the fact that any dog can bite, because I feel that the name "pit bull" is gettin ...

Kudos to the THS class of 2008 for choosing a venue for their graduation that does not double as a stock show arena. Since THS started bursting at the seams with more students than will fit into the auditorium for graduation ceremonies, there has bee ...

Again, the Tooele Transcript-Bulletin has ignored two of the county’s high schools. Both Dugway and Wendover have had a lot going on this spring in track and field, and golf. We had this problem with basketball and baseball this year as well. There i ...

Many thanks to Diane Sagers for her many contributions to the gardens of Tooele County, and especially for her many articles in the recent Home & Garden special section. Especially as a new resident, I really appreciate all of the poignant advice ...

I feel blessed to live in a rural community. But the quiet views and tranquil peace end when I get in my car. We are rushed enough in life without someone touching my rear bumper as I drive to my destination. Too many people think that the one-ton au ...

Driving into Salt Lake one morning, I decided to try an experiment. I decided to drive right at the posted speed limit the whole way in  —imagine that — and count both how often I passed other cars and how often I got passed.  Between Exit ...

It’s a shame when a simple case can’t be solved in a reasonable amount of time, when all the information has been provided to the police. A purse was taken from a shopping cart at Wal-Mart on April 11. When the owners of the purse discovered it was m ...

At Tooele High School, the Junior Prom is held in Salt Lake City. High school graduation ceremonies are going to be held in Salt Lake City. This is all celebrated by the students involved, condoned by their parents and sanctioned by the Tooele Coun ...

I want to know why everyone, including the city, is worried about what is in everybody else’s backyard. Isn’t this America? The owner of the property should be able to have whatever they want in their yard, as long as it’s not illegal. I love old car ...

I am writing because I am confused and enraged — something President Bush calls “conraged.” On Main Street, each side has two lanes and a shared turning lane in the middle marked in yellow with dashes and solid lines. It is to be used when a vehicle ...

Love for the post office and community Just a short clarification to the letter to the editor titled "New post office needed" in the April 22 edition of the Transcript-Bulletin. I am the clerk retiring April 30. I find the insinuation that because I ...

I am a longtime resident of Tooele. I have seen so many positive changes. We have so many more choices of where to shop and dine that I would have ever thought possible. Unfortunately, I am becoming increasingly more aware of the disadvantages of bec ...

In conversations with friends and family, we often hear the question, “what’s wrong with kids today?” On Saturday, April 12, I witnessed one answer to this question. A friend and I were working at the Rose Springs Elementary craft fair. The entertain ...

Have you ever caught yourself recycling or even turning off a light in your house? How about re-using a shopping bag? If you have, you are not just doing yourself a favor, but you are doing the whole planet a favor. We can all take a huge leap for ou ...

I am extremely disappointed with the Tooele County School District and their “selection” of the Stallions to be the mascot of the new Stansbury High School. While I am not against the usage of a type of horse as the mascot, I am perplexed with the ch ...

I disagree with your editorial opinion (“Welcome SHS Stallions — now let the rivalry begin,” April 15) that the three high schools in this valley should be grouped in a 3A classification of 400 to 1,200 students. Such size disparity is not fair to th ...

Thank you for the interesting and delightful article about Wes and Ann Vorwaller. Great pictures and story about a fun couple.Albert OgdenStansbury Park ...

I was at the Post Office on three different occasions in the morning one day recently. Each time there was a line of considerable length. The first time only one window was open, the clerk was helping someone and I wondered why only one window was op ...

I would like to congratulate Carol LaForge on her recently announced retirement from Tooele High School, and say, "break a leg" as she works to create her new LaForge Encore Theatre Company in Tooele County. As we've learned over the last year and ...

Every month I faithfully send $20 to the Grantsville Irrigation Company to pay for a meter. I believe we were told that when it was paid for they would come out and install a meter for us. Now, with a sigh of relief, the meter is paid for. Then sudde ...
