While Jackie Caudill’s letter to the editor (Herald, Aug. 10) correctly referenced several parts of the proposed amendment, she made badly skewed interpretations of them. She wrote that “ColoradoCare is…
I visited our local post office to set up having her mail delivered here. After the usual 20-minute wait, I was abruptly told to use the online form to change…
At the meeting, several citizens shared the belief that sloppy production systems can be tightened up to reduce methane leakage. In support of that claim we pointed to findings dating…
Evidently, the Obama administration and environmental powerhouse lobbies don’t care about maintaining national treasures, just gaining them. Zero credibility is what federal government gets when sites are closed or mismanaged…
With La Plata Canyon getting unprecedented tourist visitation, and after the fiasco of the Gold King mining disaster, one wonders why regulators will not flush the project down the toilet…
My suggestion is for everyone who is so concerned for the unborn sign a pledge to assume responsibility for the born child from conception through completed education. Sign a pledge…
Your boy Donnie-small-hands (my nickname for Trump – he’s needed one for a while) has seriously gone off the rails and is killing any chance you have for political relevance…
In the spring of this year, a county maintainer inadvertently damaged our irrigation pipeline. We didn’t discover the damage until months later when we tried to utilize our water. I…
The lovely home we rented was outside the city limits so there was no recycling pickup. Undeterred, we made the effort to deliver our recyclable waste to the city’s recycling…
Traffic on this thoroughfare is a fact of life because it is the only road through town. Unless a bypass of town can be constructed, the traffic can’t be avoided.…
Fox attempts to create a scenario in which the current county commissioners are seen as having been unthinkingly profligate in their use of taxpayers’ dollars. He attempts and fails, and…
Few amenities make visitors feel more welcome than smiling faces! This summer, BID’s new Downtown Ambassador Program placed seven smiling BID representatives on Main to answer questions, make recommendations about…
Colorado PERA remains Colorado’s best investment by delivering a dignified and stable earned pension to 92,000 Colorado resident retirees. In Southwest Colorado, 1,842 PERA retirees sustain more than 400 Colorado…
I looked up Brown’s official blog to read details of his reasoning. I find not a word about global warming, climate science or the future. Considering he’s running for re-election,…
Property and business owners are already helping to pay for schools, cemeteries, libraries, fire departments, human services, water, etc. We cannot expect property and business owners to pay the cost…
Over time and getting over my naming issues, I became very fond of the Arc. It has a clean dramatic style that is well suited for a busy corner where…
The other, from U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Yuma, is an attack on a government agency that was sent in to make a terrible situation better, and in the process has…
Chiefs, warriors and a long list of words from Native American life made their way into sports. To someone living a remote life on the reservation, these mascots were at…

Actually, it’s Donald Trump who “cannot tell a lie.” Huh? To better understand this claim, track down a 2005 monograph, ON BS, by Harry G. Frankfurt, professor of philosophy emeritus…
The survey only covered businesses – not the impact on all of the area’s property owners. I would bet the businesses gain more from the airport than the farmers and…
I peruse mine very carefully and find so many mistakes on a regular basis (average three out of four shopping trips per month). “Buy one get one free,” where both…
Lockwood quotes an unsubstantiated assertion that 100,000 additional people could choose to use the airport, but don’t. He blames it on the current terminal and facilities. We all know high…
While I am a mountain biker and adventure cyclist, I am a human-powered conservationist first. I have spent time bike-packing across some of the most incredible landscapes this region has…
I would suggest politicians and bureaucrats stick to things they do well. But, I am hard pressed to name anything they do to improve our quality of our lives. They…
Jeez, if she really has that kind of power, maybe she can get the Equal Rights Amendment passed. But, seriously, here is my favorite “fact” du jour: Hillary and Bill…
My question to the city of Durango is: Why does Walmart get away with the worst landscaping and a filthy exterior? The last time I parked in the lot, there…
Eight years ago, we chose a president whose presence opened up our weeping wounds, exposing our past that we’ve carried, buried and denied since our beginning. Issues that have arisen…
It may be the oldest federal act still guiding industry in the 21st century. There have been many attempts undertaken to update it, yet the mining industry is using its…
Roberts was elected by her peers to serve in this significant capacity for more reasons than can be named in this letter, but allow me to offer the following highlights:…
