Billboard corporations use money and influence to override your vote(0)

It’s a pattern in many Western communities. For people who think government has a role in protecting viewsheds and aesthetics, billboards are like unsightly weeds popping up in the cracks of land-use regulations.

Salida pond hockey in full force

Salida pond hockey in full force(0)

We’re slowly forming a strong community of skaters here and Frantz Lake has been great this year. We have a set of ground rules that everyone pitches in on ice maintenance, shoveling when finished, and folks that go out after dark to flood the surface. We had 20+ on sunday and the facebook page is popular.

Recycling services in The Ark River Valley(3)

We have had some inquiries about commercial and home recycling services in the valley. Please tell us, and your neighbors what you know. Our goal is to gather general information and an inventory of costs, options and a rundown of what happens to the waste once it leaves our sight. The latter is important as we have had inquiries recently that make it clear most folks don’t know where our valley’s recycling ends up. Please help contribute to The Citizen’s knowledge base. Thanks!

Small town cash mob(5)

It began quietly, as an email to 40 friends. But when a steady stream of customers began coming through the door before the family-owned Chagrin Hardware had even opened for the day on Saturday, it was clear that it had turned into much more than that.
