Latest Design By Echelon Gets An ‘Ugh’

Latest Design By Echelon Gets An ‘Ugh’

Feb. 22, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: Ugh. The revised designed for the Echelon apartment building is worse than the original. It sticks out more than ever, and looks straight out of the Alexandria, Virginia, stock urban housing playbook. The design is totally disrespectful of what our town’s citizens and planners want. 02/28/2023 11:00 PM

Kayakers Used ‘Poor Judgment’

Kayakers Used ‘Poor Judgment’

Feb. 22, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: I just read the story about the river rescue of the kayaker in Goshen Pass. Kudos to the rescuers. What the article failed to mention was the names of the two people who used exceedingly poor judgment and selfishly exposed those first responders to danger, not to mention the financial cost of their folly. I certainly hope they make significant donations to the five departments involved in the rescue. 02/28/2023 11:00 PM
