To the Silverton Community

I know that we are only a few weeks past our last community wide election but there is another election before us that concerns our entire community. There is a Silverton School Board election on November 2. It has been 12 years or longer since our community has held a school board election.

Dear Editor,

Brilliant move to eliminate ohv from Silverton. How you going to make up loss revenue?? Your business owners must love it. Sadly, we will not be back after years of family vacations in Silverton. Yes 8 families canceled not to return. Your liberal city politicians will finally get their ghost town.

A Perfect Storm: Letter from the Editor

Hi Silverton. It’s me again. Last I wrote, the rainbows and fog of summer were hugging the peaks still. I’ve been in this position for just over 3 months and, after the events of last week, it’s definitely time for a check-in.

Good News for Kendall Mountain Recreation Area Southwest Colorado is in Southwest Colorado is in a drought that is predicted to last at least 40 years. We must plan for smaller amounts of snow. In my opinion we can become our own small town winter mecca with a lot of activities for families.

Dear Editor

I would like to thank the town of Silverton for the hospitality in town and for the opportunity to ride and stage our OHV’s. I hope this relationship continues for many years to come.

Disenfranchised My vote will likely not be counted in the upcoming special election, nor my wife’s. We’ve been Silverton residents since 2004. Virginia currently serves our country with the U.S. Department of State in Zimbabwe, where I am residing seasonally.
