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 ...

I am close family of the Emelyantsevs (see “Tooele mom accused of killing adopted child,” March 13). They spent the last year going through Russian courts and procedures, spent a great deal of money, bought a bigger home, and worked to have Kim at ho ...

There is nothing like writing a biased story to sell a little print, especially at a good deputy sheriff’s expense (“‘Dangerous’ pets force hard choices,” March 20). Many of the uninitiated must feel that it is necessary to blow a whistle or sit down ...

Kudos to Kathleen Robinson, executive director of the Tooele Regional Campus of Utah State University, for what she has done and has represented for the educational system in Tooele County and environs. She has been a most exemplary administrator ...

After reading the story "Dangerous pet forces hard choices" (March 20), I feel like the reporter left out some important information. Here are examples of what I think should have been asked: How many times have the police or animal control offic ...

On March 17, in Erda, a local sheriff's deputy arrived at a residence in response to a complaint about a dog, the family pet of a young girl. (See "'Dangerous' pets force hard choices," March 20.) This dog was described very differently by this y ...

We enjoy Diane Sagers’ Homefront column and find her articles informed and poignant, but we were disappointed with her recent article, “Where’s the Beef?” which appeared in the March 11 edition. In it, she refers to the dangers of not eating beef. Of ...

I was reading a story in the Salt Lake Tribune the other day about how West Valley City has the slowest 911 emergency response time in Salt Lake County. It was around 12 minutes that people have to wait between the time they call 911 and the time it ...
