To say the train needs to maintain the historic feel of the train ride is ridiculous. There’s nothing real about the Polar Express or the Dino Train. I’m sure the…
Yes, it should be embarrassing to the person quoting the Bible, but it won’t be. Give us all a break. If we want a sermon from some homophobic moron, we…
It sure isn’t going to be Lake Nighthorse. I’m convinced that water is for Phoenix, Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Richard MacEwen Hesperus
This agency has taken a huge step backward to the 1980s, when its mantra was a prescient “Drill, baby, drill,” and needs to be brought to task for this unacceptable…
Can they read their own town’s newspaper? A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that more than 60 percent disapprove of this new tax. As a voter, I think…
Well, McCoy needs to give her Bible more study. Paul gave Peter his comeuppance about continuing to obey Jewish dietary and other Old Testament regulations, saying, in effect, that anyone…
There is no way that a person can take the life of another without fear and pride being behind the act. Family and friends of both Kevin and Jacob are…
The public should not have confidence in the profession. Naturopaths who earn degrees from their accredited four-year schools learn and practice a belief-based system of medicine, not an evidence-based one.…
The cost of lawsuits against the city and council members. Many cities that have imposed similar bag ordinances are facing several types of lawsuits. The negative effect to public health.…
This morning, our neighbors had their fields crop-dusted. We were not notified in any way. I called my neighbor, who has beehives. The last time this happened all the bees…
The editorial implies that Sunnyside owns the American Tunnel, with respect to the line: “It would also give much-needed help to the streams that are currently carrying mining pollution into…
The resident-initiated petition that was brought to the council two years ago included 1,000 signatures calling for a plastic-bag ban. A snapshot in time, collected over several weeks, there are…
Remember the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah for homosexual sins, plus the entire world’s destruction in Noah’s day? Just like today, do not take God’s warnings lightly. Our world has…
The vast majority of airports I’ve traveled through have a look common to public spaces, but only a very few seem to rely so heavily, and many not at all,…
We would particularly like to express our appreciation for the efforts and cooperation of U.S. Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall as well as the San Juan Citizens Alliance and…
I remembered the work the Volunteers of America started in Durango, and that was part of my motivation. Nearly two years later, Samaritan House of Hopkins County has nonprofit status,…
We now live in a world of politics and money, not common sense. The government is spending millions on fighting forest fires, so let’s not make more acreage wilderness. The…
Returning to Durango, it was just as painful to see the river so low and water running down the streets from citizens, businesses, even the city wasting water. Some other…
Islam is not the enemy of freedom; it grants more freedom than people think, even toward women. Throughout my travels, I always saw empowered women, especially in the UAE, and…

Many of us have strong feelings about our religious allegiances and antipathies. It is the genius of the American Constitution that allows people of starkly contrasting religious and philosophical tastes…
My husband and I are grateful that we live in a city that offers half a dozen alternatives for young people who do not choose, nor fit, into a public…
Until either of these eminently qualified bodies have ruled on the constitutionality of a law passed by both houses of the Colorado Legislature and signed by our duly elected governor,…
In 2012, we were treated to a full election year of the Republican claim that rape was a gift of God. Do we really wonder why our military organization, specializing…
On June 13, I went to have my last will and testament notarized and witnessed at the office of an old friend and CPA in the 900 block of Second…
The arguments we’re hearing today regarding people living in this country without legal permission are nearly identical to those put forth in 1986. The final legislation that Ronald Reagan signed…
