What was sprayed? I hope it wasn’t Roundup, which has been shown to be toxic to humans in recent research. Why was this necessary? I thought this was an environmentally…
The article ignored the “state of the co-op” address and neglected to outline board candidates’ visions for the DNF’s future. It overlooked useful information about the structure in place since…

Methinks the shill a bit shrill. Davitt M. Armstrong Durango
That’s standard advice for discovering underlying truths. Applied to La Plata Electric Association’s board of directors, it looks like this: Mentioned in the April 15 meeting is that the “Green…
Evidently, the Herald either has no idea what green means or is trying to confuse the public with rhetoric that is totally baseless. Formwalt has held a position on the…

First we add chlorine, a greenish-yellow gas and a toxic-respiratory irritant used in World War I as a weapon. It can still react that way when taking a hot shower.…
