In this municipal election, Salidans will vote on two questions related to expanding the municipal golf course from nine to eighteen holes: 1) Can the city sell 4.6 acres and use the proceeds for golf-course expansion? and 2) Can the golf course be used as collateral for a loan of up to $1.4 million to build nine more holes?

Judicial System – November 1995 – Colorado Central Magazine
Last month, as soon as we finished the magazine, Ed and I started watching Salida’s trial of the century.

Dear Editor:
We would like to ask for your correction of an error noted in your July issue, No. 17. On page 21 in the article entitled “The Pass Between the Rockies” by Ed Quillen, it states, in part, “Saguache, for instance, is green place.”
Letter from Lisa S. Dolby
Environment – November 1995 – Colorado Central Magazine
Dear Mr. Quillen,
I certainly enjoyed your article, “The Pass Between the Rockies” [in the August, 1995, edition of Colorado Central]. We don’t appreciate enough, the history and geological origin of the world around us. The forces that created this geological make-up are certainly nothing to scoff at.
Letter from Lindell Cline
Book Review – November 1995 – Colorado Central Magazine
Dear Ed Quillen:
Although I truly appreciate your review or critique of my book Me and the Law [published in the September, 1995, edition of Colorado Central], I must take issue with its obvious implication that anger is some unacceptable and does not allow me to be reasonable.

Tourism – November 1995 – Colorado Central Magazine
The feeling that your town is being overwhelmed by tourists is not unique to Central Colorado. National Public Radio recently carried a report from Juneau, Alaska, a popular destination for cruise ships. On a summer day, the city’s 30,000 people can be joined by 10,000 visitors fresh off the boat.

Climate – November 1995 – Colorado Central Magazine
As we went to press, the days were clear and warm, and if history is any guide, then this winter should be among the warmest on record.
