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.
