The Colorado Division of Motor Vehicles achieved a major milestone this week when the one millionth identity document (driver license or identification card) was issued through its online renewal service.
Driver License Operations Director David Lindsay emphasized that the online renewal process is easy, fast and secure and it helps to decrease wait times for customers who need to go into a driver license office.

With the changing demographics in our rapidly growing state, there are now fewer and fewer people who know our rural, agrarian heritage.
Couple that with our constitution being the third-easiest of all states to amend through the petition process, and Colorado has become a playground for special interests pushing their agendas.
That can be detrimental to Colorado’s $40 billion ag industry – one of the top contributors to our state’s economy – and the rural communities that depend on it.

Q: Why should you never perform for ghosts?
A: Because they’re always saying “Boo!”
This movie gets a bunch of boos out of me, and it’s not because I’m trying to scare it. Tyler Perry is back and he’s brought his alter ego Madea with him. Get ready for 103 minutes of crass old lady jokes with delusions of wisdom.

One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.

The large and destructive wildfires in Colorado this year, from the 38,000-acre Beaver Creek Fire still burning in beetle-kill timber in northwestern Colorado to the 16,000-acre Hayden Pass Fire southeast of Salida, are in part due to unhealthy forest conditions that made them prone to intense fire behavior. And with this week being National Forest Products Week, the Colorado State Forest Service wants to emphasize how having a robust wood products industry spurs not only widespread forest management, but the healthy forests and reduced wildfire risk that result from them.
Now through Tuesday, November 1, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Colorado State Patrol (CSP) and law enforcement agencies throughout the state will increase their DUI enforcement as part of CDOT’s The Heat Is On campaign, aiming to eliminate drunk driving related injuries and fatalities this Halloween. In all, 100 law enforcement agencies will participate in the crack down.
