Over and over
We swear we didn’t copy and paste this from an old story: the town of Silverton, voted on whether to allow off-highway vehicles in town. Once again.
We won’t get into the entire backstory, but ever since Silverton first allowed OHVs to drive in town limits in 2014, it’s been a contentious issue, to say the least. Over the years, the town has held several back-and-forth votes on the issue. In 2021, residents voted to oust the vehicles from town.
Residents against OHVs in town say it disturbs the quality of life. Those for it, usually business owners, says it drives sales.
Well, the town held another vote Oct. 3, and this time it wasn’t even close. Residents voted 286 to 128 to keep OHVs out of town limits, representing a 69% to 29% vote.

The gold rush is on, but not in the way you might think. Apparently, every Coloradan and their dog(s) flocked to the mountains last weekend to gawk at Mother Nature’s autumn splendor. And while those of us in the San Juans might have experienced minor frustration over parking at the trail head, the Front Range was a whole different sort of peeping pandemonium.

Durango’s airwaves are going to the dogs. Literally. This week, Hutton Broadcasting, based in Santa Fe, announced the launch of DoggyFM KKDoG, 99.7FM. As the name would suggest, the new station is “tailored for man’s best friend” (we would assume all other people are included in that generalization as well).
