As the wheels turn
OHVs banned, then unbanned, from Silverton s streets
A sign indicating the OHV route in the town of Silverton may become a moot point later this year. After many twists and turns, the subject of banning OHVs from the town s streets will go to a vote later this year. A separate vote would ask residents whether they want to allow OHVs on just the town s current designated route or everywhere. It s unclear how the two competing votes would impact one another. / Photo by Jonathan Romeo Jonathan Romeo - 06/10/2021
After a seven-year experiment, Silverton is grappling in a serious way with whether to allow off-highway vehicles within town limits.
Michael Loyer
Michael Alexander Loyer of Burlington, Vt., died suddenly on January 9, 2021, in a tragic early-morning fire that also took the life of his neighbor and friend, Henry Burawa.
Michael was born on November 2, 1989, in Burlington, Vt., the son of Michael Bradley Loyer and Sandra Racine Bradshaw. He graduated from South Burlington High School with the class of 2008.
Throughout his childhood, Michael was an active, precocious boy, always outside and exploring. He loved the outdoors, especially camping and fishing with his father and diving at his favorite swimming holes. He was an enthusiastic music lover, which led him to pick up the guitar. He also had a natural talent for both snowboarding and photography an art form he had recently rededicated himself to and had received a small scholarship to study. His hopes were to use photography and screen printing to showcase his longtime love of graffiti art and culture.
