FROM THE STANDARD MAIL CAR

Dear Editor I just want to express my gratitude for all Veteran’s today and every day. You are not forgotten. My deep appreciation for your sacrifice stems from my grandfather who served in the U.S Army (twice) in World War II and my father who served in the U.S Army in Vietnam in 1968.

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.
