My son, Brian Shafer, and I have been volunteers at the La Plata County Senior Center. Starting in February, due to budget constraints, the new hours of operation will be…
Perhaps the gentleman who suggested that this was the case (Herald, Jan. 24) feels that because there are more students expressing their desire to be nonheterosexual, this is caused by…
There is one person who deserves recognition for this success – Matt Nimetz. When the city of Durango advertised for a general contractor to manage the removal of the old…
There have been gay and trans people since the dawn of time. Continuing to spew this type of hate perpetuates the narrative that being gay or trans is bad. This…
With temperatures rising around the globe scientists are warning that the world has entered a dangerous new era of chaotic floods, storms and fires made worse by human-caused Climate Change.…
God save America, or is it too late? Tim Fleming Bloomfield
I’d suggest adding a fourth: Deny construction of large-scale utility facilities that carry inherent wildfire risk. This includes large-scale lithium-ion storage facilities accompanying huge industrial solar generating plants. As more…
Why is it, that religion-based groups, committees and this political administration, dare to cast the full responsibility and ethical blame on only the feminine aspect of human biology while leaving…
I am currently in the La Canada/Flintridge suburb on the edge of the Eaton Fire, which has burned over 14,000 acres and left at least 17 deaths in its wake.…
Not only does the writer not include a single legitimate statistic regarding his claims, but he is going as far as to spread misinformation regarding the goals and the mission…
OK, I’ll bite … as long as we can apply the same standards to other recent contests. Perhaps the Nov. 5 presidential election? It is beyond dispute that Donald Trump…
I was on a Baptist mission trip in Southeast Asia in 1976 when a newspaper appeared at my motel door proclaiming Jimmy Carter as winner of the U.S. presidential election.…
Most people instinctively understand this and that is why children are kept from unwanted sexual exposures while they’re young. Who knows how many children have been coached to admire homosexuality,…

But, are they really all-inclusive? On Tuesday, Jan. 15, Durango hosted a duel wrestling tournament. Wonderful! Except for one thing: all female wrestlers were barred from participating in this duel…
Congress is considering attaching strings to LA wildfire recovery bills. I hope that Jeff Hurd recognizes that he represents a huge, fire-prone district in a blue state, and that a…

Monday, Jan. 20, is the MLK holiday. It also is the presidential inauguration. The irony lies in what these two men represent and committed their lives to. Dr. King was…
I rarely think about how stratified our local society is until I witness our neighbors struggling. Here’s news that makes me think: TARA Food Pantry in Arboles had 50 families…
A dictator has been voted in. A guy who tried to overthrow the government four years ago. A guy who led an attack on the nation’s Capitol. A day that…
As the writer stated, the Constitution affords us our protections to free speech regardless of the environment. The American flag does represent us all as Americans but there is more…
Any conceivable move to punish members of the Jan. 6. Commission is an unfathomable, “I’m your retribution” reminder. What happened? Collective amnesia, maybe from COVID-19? Fluoride in the water? It’s…
