First, there are several resources for syndicated comic strips such as arcamax.com. If the Herald doesn’t carry your faves, look elsewhere, and they’re all free to access. Second, Ms. Byrd…
I read somewhat in horror the meandering editorial focused around walruses falling to their deaths (“Walrus down: It’s time to care about pinnipeds,” April 15) and wondered if anyone ever…
The president of the United States asked a 22-year-old girl, his intern, for sex. I hope by now we all understand that she could not have given consent, that the…
Currently, LPEA is bound by a contract to Tri-State power that will not expire for 31 years! Tri-State is a coal-driven power company and our contract limits the amount of…
Given that Earth’s atmosphere now contains more carbon dioxide, 25% more, in fact, than at anytime in 800,000 years, happy days are here! I heard a glass of wine a…
The Community Foundation is bringing a leading voice in the fight to stop cyber-bullying to Durango for two public events. In 1998, Monica Lewinsky became arguably the first mass victim…
Young or old, Americans across the country are facing the existential threat of climate change. Their message: We want major climate action, we want both parties on board, and now…
Second, federal subsidies have strongly favored fossil fuels over other U.S. energy sources (nuclear, biofuels, renewables). Why are we paying more for dirtier energy that is dangerous to our health…
Since then, the children of presidents have been off limits – until the Herald ran an editorial cartoon of a tax return on April 15th indicating that those children with…
A year after Bayfield resident Edin Ramos was separated from his family and deported to Honduras, ICE agents are still hard at work, targeting businesses, residences, schools and court in…
To make matters worse, Tri-State’s energy is expensive, and with its $3.2 billion debt, electricity costs can only go up. The August 2018 Rocky Mountain Institute Report found that Tri-State…
They blew it! To have removed some well-drawn favorites and replaced them with truly dumb ones is unforgivable. And now we’re told sure, you can see more comics, but you…
My wife and I are new residents of Durango and were amazed to see the Herald’s improvements in news coverage, editorials, and overall volume of community events and services, professionally…
“The country is a mess,” Trump said, “and only I can fix it.” Two years of total Republican control and they have fixed nothing. Two years of complaining about infrastructure…
Senate Bill 19-181 is not Proposition 112. It’s not a handful of legislators that supported this bill. It was the majority of legislators that the people of Colorado elected. I’ll…
It’s high time. I applaud Sen. Cory Gardner’s recent op-ed, “Green New Deal is a raw new deal for Colorado” (April 4), inviting bipartisan collaboration on climate solutions. In it,…
Dan’s integrity has always been above reproach. He has been upfront about being a net-metering participant and has abstained from voting on this controversial issue. We need more directors to…
As the car sped by, three little children and two adults came out of the alley onto East Third Avenue. It was providence that a disaster did not occur. I…
If population is going to grow and more food is to be required, then why would anyone want to reduce the rate of emission, or worse yet, actually seek to…
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that when you must win the popular vote across all 50 states and D.C. to be awarded the 270 electoral votes necessary…
More comics and puzzles would have been an improvement; instead, there are fewer. My penciled answers almost disappear in the huge boxes of the puzzles. Should I bring a crayon?…
In your opinion piece about the Green New Deal (“Green New Deal is a raw new deal for Colorado,” April 4), you emphasize the importance of working together, across the…
I support U.S. House Resolution 763, the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act of 2019, a market-driven federal bill with bipartisan co-sponsors that addresses the risks of climate change by…
The go-slow naysayers out there are sticking their collective heads farther into the sand if they think climate change will simply go away if we just wait for a while.…
Hunters gain improved habitat and corridors for much-loved Colorado big game species like Rocky Mountain big horn sheep, elk and mule deer. Anglers see increased protections for Colorado cutthroat trout,…
As the costs of renewable energy continue to plummet below the cost of burning coal, Southwest Colorado stands to reap tremendous benefits. With 300 sunny days a year, we are…
Before even taking office, he had to pay $25 million for scamming Americans with his fake university. Trump claimed he hires only the best people. I guess he meant to…
Apparently, there are serious concerns as to the way it squeezes additional funds from the everyday hunter, both out-of-state and resident. The newest regulations require a hunter to purchase an…
Trout Unlimited, a national grassroots organization, made a big endorsement this week for a bipartisan climate change solution – the Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act. Trout Unlimited President and…
