15 Years Ago

June 28, 2002

• Colorado state wide ban on fireworks will be strictly enforced by the Kiowa County Sheriff Department

• Wild Horse Roundup-Curtis Shrimp: We got one of those small dishes for our television. Now I don’t have to hit the control box on top of the TV to get a picture. Marty has about got me trained how to use the control.

25 Years Ago

June 25, 1992

The closed-season school board meeting was called to order half an hour late by its chairman, J. Buckdancer Alcott, because the board members saw Windy Wilson sitting in the audience.

 Windy had no children, and he sure as sugar wasn’t a teacher, but he could talk. And he was patiently biding his time. Despite the board’s foot dragging through the agenda, Windy didn’t give up and go home.
