Sunday Opinion section was excellent
As a former educator, I quite enjoyed Elsie Tidwell’s views, particularly with her being such a young age. Janine Fitzgerald and Mark Seis’ op-ed was right on, and the accompanying…

Herald is covering for Obama’s follies
You and most media are not reporting the news and are responsible for keeping people in the dark and thus damaging the country. I am a Democrat turned Independent, so…

Durango could emulate Golden’s pot stance
“Council members commented that losing Golden’s family-friendly identity to pot shops just wasn’t worth the city’s reputation. They also stated the law’s ambiguity and constant modifications made them hesitant to…

Farmers Market offers taste of ‘local flavor’
Every week, we end up heading home with a basketful of the most tasty veggies, meats, cheese and bread that money can buy. My daughter enjoys the clothes we get…

Musician’s arrest was overboard action
Two young men were playing their guitars on the street – not the greatest musicians, but they could halfway carry a tune. It’s the same scene I’ve seen in many…
