Women of Distinction Awards breakfast, Aug. 12, 2010
There was a room full of Women of Distinction at your event. Thank you for the opportunity to recognize just a few who have stood out in 2010. I hope you will run articles on all the award winners. They are all deserving of the recognition and applause from our community at large.

Apartment vacancies fall, rents rise - except in Greeley
(Business Report Daily, Aug. 19, 2010)
Wow... nice headline. Are you kidding me??? You trash a whole town in your headline because rents dropped a small $10.72???
What about touting the fact that vacancies are down in Greeley to 6.3%...THE LOWEST IN NORTHERN COLORADO.
I would like to see this headline changed and resent to your readership as this is misleading and just plain BAD sensationalism.
John DeWitt
Greeley
Greeley has been through arguably the toughest of times out of all areas in Northern Colorado. Now that Greeley has some momentum and good things happening, it would be beneficial for everyone to see positive reporting to help keep that momentum going in the right direction.
Kate Kessinger Warner
I've always thought NCBR was above THAT kind of journalism. Come on, you're better than that!
Randy Moser
Greeley
Editor's note: It was not our intent to trash anything. Greeley is the only area in which the data from the Colorado Division of Housing showed counterintuitive results - vacancies and rents falling at the same time - which seemed somewhat noteworthy. The headline was changed on our website.
Allegiant offers $29.99 fares to Phoenix
(Business Report Daily, Aug. 11, 2010)
This will be good for Northern Colorado, if the cost remains low.
Esther Goll
Fort Collins
Go ahead, folks, and try to fly via Allegiant Air to Phoenix-Mesa for $29.99. The taxes and add-on fees are a joke - the $29 fare turns into over $50. Typical deceptive promotions.

Try a Little Tenderness
(Carrie Pinsky, The Career Enthusiast)
I'm learning, ever so slowly, how important it is to "try a little kindness." All the suggestions are wonderful reminders, especially the last one, "this too shall pass." Let me add this one: Laugh a lot. It releases those wonderful endorphins, puts things in perspective and offers a space for creativity.
