[/caption] A gathering at Silver High School on Friday morning was very much like a family reunion as former students and others who knew longtime band teacher David Kendrick honored him, naming the band room for him. “He had his family at home, and he had his band family,” his widow, Cindy Kendrick, told the Daily Press prior to a reception in the school library. “I always kidded him. I said, ‘You’re just like the Pied Piper. Everywhere we go there’s a gaggle of kids.’” Kendrick taught at Silver High School from 1991 to 2010. He died in 2022 at the age of 72. Some of those kids returned to the high school for the dedication Friday, including Chase Sturdevant, a 2010 SHS graduate who exemplified the idea of Kendrick’s student family. In his senior year, he said, he had to move out of his family home...

[caption id="attachment_87309" align="alignnone" width="300"] (Press Staff Photo by Juno Ogle)A handful of vendors set up for the Silver City Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning despite the event officially being canceled and rain and snow earlier in the morning. Up to an inch of snow was recorded Saturday morning in the Silver City area by volunteers with the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network, while those north of town reported up to 3 inches of snow. [/caption] By JUNO OGLE Daily Press Staff Cold rain and snow couldn’t keep a few die-hards away from the Silver City Farmers’ Market across the street from Gough Park on Saturday morning. Even though the market had officially been canceled, a handful of vendors decided to go ahead and set up shop at the regular time and place for the weekly event. “I’m a farmer who harvested on Thursday morning, when the weather was pleasant,” said Leah Villarreal of Dominguez Canyon Farms. “So I had several bags of produce I just needed to bring to the market, or my business would take a loss.” A little before 10:30 a.m., she had sold about half of what she expected to sell of the spinach and...
By JUNO OGLE Daily Press Staff She’s carried several titles throughout her career, but for Annette Toney, her more than 20 years with the Girl Scouts was all about one thing: “Working with the girls.
