After an interesting detour to last Friday’s basketball games, I would like to thank the Kiowa County Sheriffs Office, along with the CBI and HIS, for helping to make our county and state safer for our youth.

In my own youth, it was nothing for my brother, sister, and I to walk into town to the pool or a friend’s house. Heck, the trip even took us across the busy Highway 287.

I hate to say it, but times have changed. Our little towns in Kiowa County may be smaller, and we may know most everyone, but we still need to be aware if something is out of place.
