That same mission endures today for the protection of all water rights, including municipal, agricultural, environmental, industrial, and recreational.” Th…Westcliffe · WestcliffeRead Article

New jet fuel tank already assisting in local emergencies

The remoteness of the Wet Mountain Valley extends to more than just the time, altitude, and distance required to reach the region, traveling along the jagged crust of the earth. The same remoteness of land also applies to the air for fixed-wing or rotorcraft. The Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountains create their unique atmospheric conditions for aircraft, and, if possible, many lower-flying craft choose to go around rather than over these mountain…Westcliffe · WestcliffeRead Article

Hairpins as weapons? Check out the Beckwith Ranch’s new 1890s clothing exhibit decommissioned from the Molly Brown House Museum

The picturesque Beckwith Ranch, for­merly called the Waverly Ranch by the Beck­withs themselves, remains a historic time capsule for the Custer County community.

Yet, after 40 years, their dynasty was sold off by Elsie Beckwith after the passing of her husband, Elton Beckwith – the last-living brother of the ranch’s operation. Many…Westcliffe · WestcliffeRead Article

Morphew, Stanley, Payne, and the robustness of justice

I tend only to publish stories that have local relevance, but I do make exceptions when news has an impact, although indirectly, on this region. Such stories and the lessons learned require a wider view (the name of the column) to be understood locally. The news from Alamosa on June 20 was that Barry Morphew had been arrested and charged again for the alleged murder of his wife, Suzanne, in Salida on Mother’s Day, May 10, 2020. What is of note i…Westcliffe · WestcliffeRead Article

Penitentiary to bring jobs, wildfires burn, and the Kettles leave by car in historical tidbits

110 Years Ago – 1915 Henning and Stroehlke have taken a lease on a 200-foot block of ground south of the Harriet Mineshaft and with a long surface cross-cut have cut the vein and some good-looking carbonate ore has been exposed. Big improvements are being made at the J.A. Merriam drug store in the way of a new front for the building and cement sidewalk. The improvements will add greatly to the appearance of the building.
