Drought conditions increased again across Colorado over the past week, with only the western portion of Moffat County untouched by any category of dryness.
Currently, more than 67 percent of the state is considered abnormally dry – the lowest-level drought category - with an additional 31 percent listed as being in moderate drought.
While the expansion of abnormally dry conditions was minor, moderate drought increased from just under 25 percent of the state last week to current level.

I have noticed as we come into Eads from Brandon lots of trash in the barrow pits.
Please, let’s keep our state and county clean.
We have not had this problem much before.

Four sophomores from the Lamar Community College (LCC) Baseball team signed national letters of intent to play NCAA Division I & II baseball on Wednesday, November 9.
Many Colorado farmers are implementing some of the latest-and-greatest production methods, aimed at improving efficiency on their farms, protecting natural resources, and enhancing air and water quality. Now we want to honor the producers taking these efforts to new heights.
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 first full week of November has been relatively seismically active in Colorado, with four earthquakes recorded within the state, and one just over the southern border in New Mexico.
The New Mexico quake, centered west of Raton, occurred late Saturday night and measured 3.1 on the Richter Scale. The area is about 90 miles south of Pueblo.
