I never saw 2015’s “Sicario” in theaters, I only knew it by its reputation as a movie that was unfairly overlooked at the Oscars that year.

GREAT NEWS!! Jerry Weber is finally coming home this Tuesday. Welcome Home Jerry.

The 4th of July activities at Sheridan Lake have been cancelled due to the dry conditions. May try to have them over the Labor Day weekend. Will keep you informed.

Sheridan Lake and Plainview school lost their electricity due to straight line winds that hit Friday evening and took out around 40 poles. Southeast Colorado Power did a great job of getting electricity back to most everyone by Saturday evening.

From the July 5, 1968, issue of the Kiowa County Press.

The following story appeared in a Service newspaper, and is of interest to local readers as it pertains to the role played by an Arlington service­ man in the rescue of an airman in Vietnam.

CAMP EVANS - An unknown Marine A-4 pilot, now back in his cockpit after a near fatal mid-air collision, probably feels that 1st Air Cavalry Division helicopter pilots have an uncanny sixth sense - they rescued him almost before his parachute hit the ground.
