We used to have a righteous hospital in Durango, runs by an order of caring nuns, the Sisters of Mercy. It was a quality medical outfit; I ought to know,…
The train pumps out carcinogenic smoke into our town every day. It creates sound pollution with its offensively loud whistle. Both are done with impunity. The train caused the fire…
To make bigger waves, Trump made arrangements for 700 migrants to be deported from Mississippi, leaving children without parents. Please do a front page or an editorial about this. When…
My grandchildren and I am very sure many others must go out of town or even out of state to swim outdoors. Trails and parks are great, but the city…
My Grandfather was gassed in France, he loved this country unquestionably. He was a proud Democrat. My father saw his best fiend killed in the Pacific on Guadalcanal. I’m named…
We in southwest La Plata County who support the Sunnyside and Fort Lewis Mesa communities are being asked to pay a little bit to keep those library sites operational. There…
I assure you, Mr. Sigman, nearly all Democrats are critical of the president, his appointees and Republican members of Congress, but they don’t despise America. To engage in free and…
Soldiers of the Southern states fought heroically for their belief in states’ rights. They weren’t going to trade the tyranny of Great Britain for the tyranny of a government dominated…

The fencing approved is a metal mesh fencing very dangerous for the wildlife, not only the deer but the birds who don’t see the fence and get caught in the…
