Town Manager Irvin Frazier said that Dove Creek may need a new name. Were going to call it Antennaville, he said.
Now, Atmos Energy wants to put up an antenna, but this one isnt quite as tall as the one Verizon recently put up north of Dove Creek. Atmos is requesting permission to put up a remote sensor that is only about a foot tall, Frazier said. The company is apparently looking for a location near the center of town. T-Mobile recently put up an antenna on top of Fraziers Elevator and Empire Electric has approached the county about installing one on Empires property east of Town.

True the Vote, a self-described nonpartisan election integrity organization, has published a list announcing that 10 Colorado counties, including Ouray County, have a greater voter registration count than residents. The organization reached its conclusion by comparing the 2010 US Census results against the voter registration rolls. It claims that because of this discrepancy, the counties are in violation of the 1993 National Voter Registration Act.
