From college up through the NFL it’s a huge business. You can tell just by the advertising volume it generates. It’s fairly cheap; you get it for just the price…
I agree completely with columnist Mark Pearson (Herald, Nov. 18)that Sen. Gardner should vote against moving the bill out of committee to the Senate floor. We need the permanent protection…
At first I had a lot of animosity for the way I was treated – I must admit they used way too much force – but in the end, if…
du1-i-syn Let’s hope that Sen. Gardner has the backbone to stand up to the environmental lobby and allow drilling in the 1002 area of the refuge. Let’s get some facts…
I want to share what I have learned from the experience with all present, past and future victims and survivors of sexual harassment so that they will feel better about…
du1-i-syn Senator Murkowski claims that the physical footprint of drilling would be small. Her claims are misleading, as the 2,000 acres needed for development she often references would not be…
Putting new state employees, teachers and other public workers in Colorado into a defined contribution 401(K)-type plan does not address existing liabilities and would actually substantially increase the unfunded liability…

This is one of the most rigorously executed studies on fluoride and neuro-development ever conducted. Researchers found that prenatal exposure to fluoride permanently compromised children’s cognitive function. Hundreds of scientific…
du1-i-syn Both the Senate and House bills do away with a number of deductions and credits, while almost doubling the standard deduction. The century-old charitable-giving deduction would remain for those…
du1-i-syn While the community sinks deep into its own version of “depression,” struggling to come to terms with the loss of another beautiful person, I sit and wonder what can…
He bragged about his history of assaulting women. I blame his “base” for basically ignoring all the damage he is doing to this country simply because his last name is…
The so-called “cut, cut, cut” tax bill has nothing to do with making America great. It has nothing to do with heading off levels of inequality reaching pre-Depression levels, nothing…
I commend Barkey for his service to our country as a Marine, but his unfounded words do a deep disservice to the hundreds of thousands of PERA members currently policing…

This “random act of patriotism” is a welcome sight, especially compared to other spectacles that football teams around the country have demonstrated. Our Color Guard at these games is made…
The fearless four were strolling north in the center of the south-bound lane of County Road 250 between Trimble Lane and Baker’s Bridge, oblivious, enjoying a typically spectacular Colorado afternoon.…
What gets me are the TV-starved attorneys, just recently, raking in millions from caught executives in high-profile positions. There are plenty of gals needing a job or two (or more)…
It’s absolutely laughable and hypocritical for people in Seattle, New York and Southwest Colorado – whose ancestors have long since pillaged the land and resources in their backyards – to…
