Population drives water use, and the population in the Arkansas River Basin will likely increase 80 percent by the year 2050. Even if all proposed water projects in the basin are developed, the supply will not meet the needs of growing cities, towns and industries.
A number of experts in water-related fields will discuss solutions to this issue at the Arkansas River Basin Water Forum April 27-28 in Salida.
What better payment than those "Yummy in the Tummy” cookies and some giggles with a friend.

The Spring Fling Craft Fair held at Plainview School on Saturday was a huge success. There were lots of different products and craft items to see and purchase. The Plainview Community Club members served a delicious lunch and the cheerleaders had a large variety of baked goodies for sale. A very enjoyable day! Hats off to the PCC for a job well done!!

Jonathan Swift. The author of the book “Gulliver’s Travels”, a great adventure story about a man named Lemuel Gulliver. The story takes place between the years 1699 to 1702. I’ve decided to rewrite this famous classic.
Let’s call the new version…..”Gullible’s Travels.” It’s about the adventures of a girl and takes place between the years 1955 and 2016. This girl has gone to school. She’s learned things. She’s older now, and some life’s lessons will never leave her.
Another warm, sunny day is in store for Sunday in Kiowa County, with a high in the mid-70s before dropping to the upper 30s overnight. Wind will increase overnight, potentially gusting to 30 miles per hour.
Showers and thunderstorms are possible overnight into mid-morning Monday. Up to a quarter-inch of precipitation is possible, potentially more in thunderstorm areas.
Monday will be noticeably cooler as a cold front backs into the area, with a high in the mid-50s, dropping to the low 30s overnight. Winds will decrease to around 10 mph.
