KIOWA COUNTY

COMMISSIONER MEETING

DECEMBER 14, 2017 MEETING DATE

APPOINTMENTS:

The United States Geological Survey has recorded the ninth earthquake of the year in the Rangely area.

A quake measuring 3.1 on the Richter Scale - updated from the original 3.0 estimate - was reported Tuesday. It occurred at 4:45 p.m. and was centered about three miles north of Rangley in Rio Blanco county. The earthquake occurred at a depth of 3.1 miles beneath the surface. Seven people have reported feeling the quake. No damage or injuries have been reported.

Saturday before last, the Plainview Community Club held their Christmas craft fair at the gym.  There were lots of vendors with goods for sale.  The sophomore class served lunch and it was a very enjoyable day.

A week ago Saturday, Linly and Sherrel Stum visited with Clint and Wilma Evans, former Towner residents.  They said to tell everyone hello for them.

Dear EarthTalk: I want to set a good environmental example with my gift-giving this holiday season. Any tips on how—or even better, what—to give greener?         -- Jane P., Bowie, MD

The holidays are a time for giving but it is also important to be conscious about spending your gift budget wisely to eliminate packaging waste, buy products that will last and patronize manufacturers and retailers known for social and environmental responsibility.

The Kiowa County Commissioners Special meeting was called to order by Chairman Richard Scott on November 22, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. Those in attendance were:

Richard Scott, Chairman of the Board

Cindy McLoud, Commissioner

Donald Oswald, Commissioner

Delisa Weeks, County Clerk

The calendar may say winter is nearly here, but Mother Nature continues to toss summer-like fire risks at the eastern plains of Colorado.
