Quit spending taxpayer dollars to fix what can’t be fixed. It is politically correct to say we want to help the homeless, and most of us want to. Guess what:…
I applaud the organizations, Great Old Broads for Wilderness, Wilderness Watch, and the San Juan Citizens Alliance for their quick action to bring this matter to the attention of the…
1) Russia significantly interfered with our elections in 2016, hoping for a Trump win. 2) There was insufficient evidence to prove a conspiracy. 3) There was abundant evidence of collusion…
The skill, precision, choreography, incredible hard work and dedication never ceases to amaze me. Once again, we are able to enjoy our beautiful valley, thanks to their incredible efforts. Thank…
Others – perhaps more than half – would rather have their news independent, enlightened as to alternatives and consequences, and thus informative rather than polemical. That is a giant hole…
The thorough public process used to evaluate and define the SkyRaider trail demonstrates strong popular support. At present, the Raider Ridge overlooks the entire Skyridge neighborhood for nearly three miles,…
Caller: “Is this the Trump campaign? I have information on Joe Biden you’re going to want to hear.” Campaign HQ: “Before you say anything … are you an American citizen?”…
Many have asked what to do when they observe persons detaining Hispanics without presenting either warrants or their credentials or badges. Is this legal? No. When police or a sheriff…
Instead of the local rafting companies being able to take passengers on our excellent town run, in a year when the number of rafting passengers should be quite large (word…
Colorado is fast becoming California lite as new residents pour in from failing blue states. If I didn’t know better, I’d say California’s uber-progressive governor, Gavin Newsom, and Colorado’s Jared…
Is it just a coincidence in Durango and all over America that the more conservative they become, the more major crises they are facing? The homeless situation has escalated as…
Labels divide, reducing solutions. We could aptly say that since Trump has come into office, homelessness has increased so it’s the Republicans’ fault. This attitude doesn’t address the situation. The…
With all of the buzz around CBD lately, you should! The popularity and incredible growth of cannabidiol products, or CBD, is in a market that few knew about only a…
The Herald also reported the reaction “from the Tipton camp,” which fit perfectly with what we’ve come to expect of Trump and Trump enablers like Tipton: insults with zero basis…
However, Mr. Schackel mistakenly continues with a warning for us to “Be careful what you wish for with government-run healthcare.” He expresses a common misconception. Vested interests are trying to…
Chris Riley, President of Guzman, said they would “finance the early shutdown of (three Tri-State owned) coal plants, giving Tri-State a substantial cash infusion, in the vicinity of a half-billion…
Memories of the incalculable sacrifices endured by American soldiers and Allied forces – the Greatest Generation – are besmirched by the mindless insult of an ignorant punk. There is additional…
Some people really can re-use an item that another person no longer needs. Is that not called recycling ? A temporary pile of furniture and brush, not garbage, could be…
Per the rules of the Wilderness Act, we have never used a chain saw. One summer, after the Yellowstone fires, on a crew of 10 volunteers (not trained sawyers), we…
Gov. Jared Polis points to climate change as a cause – and he’s right. It is estimated that anthropogenic climate change has nearly doubled forest fire areas between the years…
The homeless situation has escalated as liberalism has increased. Maybe a little practical thinking would be in order? Eileen Wright Vallecito
Durango city employees see the exact type of mess caused by and left by homeless campers. Our public servants do not have the proper hazmat gear with which to protect…
While certainly possible, the time for this accomplishment was not mentioned, and it is likely that this was accomplished over an entire summer cutting season. In 2018, the Pagosa Ranger…
I think the rhetoric used to describe the importance of the pieces overlooked a lot of sensitivities within the community. While it is cool to highlight an art piece’s roots…
Now that it is bear season, please place cans out on trash pickup days – or do I just report you? Sherri Libby Durango
The Wilderness Act was put into place to protect the rugged and quiet character of these iconic places. Making the use of chain saws available would not only create an…
The editors failed to rally our community to build more affordable housing and provide the essential shelter for those in need. Rather than lock people out of the post office…
I do have a concern about the term “pro-life.” It seems the term “pro-birth” would be a more accurate description. Wouldn’t we agree that life is far more than taking…
While I agree that a referendum on the Electoral College is not the place to decide this issue, and probably not constitutional, the bill that was passed by the Colorado…
