Southeast Colorado was well represented at the state basketball tournament this past week.  Congratulations to the Kit Carson Lady Wildcats on their Championship title; the Kim/Branson Ladies and the South Baca Boys teams on their second-place titles.

The Kiowa County Sheriff’s Office is investing a case in which an Ohio teenager was found at a home in Eads.

KCSO was contacted last Wednesday by the Mount Vernon Police Department about an unidentified female who was thought to be en route to Eads in a black semi-truck. The truck was located at a home in the town, and the male driver, who has not been identified, was contacted. The missing teen was also at the home.

Agencies across southeast Colorado also assisted in attempting to locate the truck.

“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.” I Corinthians 15:7 I encourage you to say to several people every day “I love you.” It could be the last time you get to share your love in that way. I know that from experience.

You may notice a friend or family member who has dropped a considerable amount of weight or is obsessive about needing to lose weight. They may be reclusive and continuously pushing food away, bingeing or exercising excessively. They may be suffering from an eating disorder. In the United States, an estimated 30 million people  may have an eating disorder in their lifetime.

Twenty-seven animals have tested positive for rabies in Colorado this year, putting many pets, livestock and people at risk of exposure to the disease. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment urges people to make sure their pets are up to date on their rabies shots, avoid stray and wild animals, and take other precautions against rabies.

Yep. Windy talks like that.

“What happened, Windy?”
