| Editorial: Labor Day marks the season's end |
When most think of Labor Day in the Williams/Grand Canyon area, they think of one thing: the end of the summer tourist season. The end of August and the beginning of September, for business owners in the Northland, typically heralds the last weekend where the shops, restaurants and sidewalks are filled with shoppers from all areas of the globe.

To the editor:
The Colorado River is the lifeblood of the Southwest, supporting our sporting and tourism economy, and supplying water for millions. That's why we support Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's temporary moratorium on new uranium mining, which protects the river and the Grand Canyon.

It's one of the best forms of exercise out there. Exercising in water is a low impact way to get the workout a body needs without putting a great deal of stress on the muscles.

| Editorial: Newspapers need community involvement |
There are always moments when it would be nice to have a camera handy. Times when the perfect photo opportunity presents itself, such as a graduation, a special birthday, or when a giant elk crosses onto the center of Highway 64 in the heart of Tusayan, stopping traffic as it makes its way through the heart of the newly incorporated South Rim community (and presenting a perfect photo opportunity)

| Editorial: Take care of campsites this summer |
It's not uncommon for thoughts to turn to the great outdoors during the warm summer months. For many of us, this is the time when the cool pines of northern Arizona beckon to us. For many, grabbing that tent and hiking stick is the first order of business when the weekend rolls around.

Page 8, indeed? While I found your article on our seasonal turbidity occurrence and the potential for wider parking spaces in downtown Williams riveting and breaking news, I found your page 8 send off to Don Keil disappointing.

When it comes to the Grand Canyon National Park, part of the allure of the place comes in the form of its history, the myriad stories of those who came here centuries ago, or even 50 years ago, at a time when the experience was a little different than it is now.

To the editor:
Your letter policy states that you give all readers a chance to comment on issues of public interest. I'm aware of meetings regarding the uranium mining issue and that the mining community has been represented at these meetings and has even had very qualified speakers give the mining industry's story.
