Colorado now has over 100 cases of COVID-19, and restrictions are being put in place for visits to senior care centers.

A day after President Donald Trump issued an emergency declaration over the coronavirus pandemic, Americans woke up Saturday realizing life over the next several weeks will be very different.

Small Business Administration Administrator Jovita Carranza issued the following statement in response to the President’s address to the nation:

• Listen to Liz Hulteen animated explanations of the Bible accounts and explanations of the Hebrew customs and language. Classes held  Tue Feb25 - Apr 7  1:00-3:00 pm at 305 East 13 St.

Look for a warming trend for the weekend in Kiowa County. After the snow showers of Friday night, temperatures will recover Saturday afternoon to near 50 degrees, then reach 60 Sunday and around 70 Monday.

Rain showers may return to the area from Tuesday through Thursday, and could mix with snow showers again Thursday night.

Spring begins March 19. Sunrise is now 7:00 a.m., with sunset at 7 p.m.
