I spent part of Sunday afternoon at Hillcrest watching the Navajo Trail Open. I saw good players on a superbly conditioned course. It looked more like golf. Ed Fowler Durango
The piece highlighted the folly of a donation of marijuana. Indeed, that is amusing, but the real story is that local vets need our help. I encourage everyone to send…
As Gardner pointed out, the community deserves answers. As was mentioned in our letter to the community, the board felt it had no other option but to close. Given our…
Brandon is a quadriplegic who uses a wheelchair. So Dish Network fired him and the court ruled that it had a right to do so. But that doesn’t mean that…
I do take exception to his notion that this nation had “ruthless disdain” for other people by using the atomic bomb during World War II against Japan. It is estimated…
Superb passing and ball movement. Reversing the ball from one side to the other is big in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference with the 35-second clock. Even with the 24-second…

Spend the afternoon on the beaches within walking distance, wet a line, take a nap, whatever. This would give time for the parties that are involved to come up with…

I resent Amy Phillips, city clerk, putting a letter in my mailbox, asking me to vote “yes” on the city tax amendment. It was to save the ½-cent tax for…

Abe Lincoln warned, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” The purveyors of partisan poison respond with, “Yo, Abe, I got your house divided right here, pal.” And Lao Tzu…
If he must leave, best wishes for success in his new endeavor! Clifford Capp Durango
