• Linly Stum of Towner gave a slide presentation to the Eads Middle & High School on his trip to Russia.

• Wild Horse Roundup Curtis Schrimp: I went out at 3:45am & saw a few meteors, what I saw wouldn’t call a shower as they were a good distance apart. What fascinated me was the entire sky, as it was clear and the stars looked big and close.

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.

Information provided by a concerned hunter has led to a conviction and over $11,000 in fines imposed on a Front Range poacher for the illegal take of a trophy-quality 6x6 bull elk in November, 2015. When confronted by a CPW officer, Denver resident Agapito Alarid II, 42, admitted that he illegally shot the bull in Game Management Unit 2, an highly coveted unit in Northwest Colorado where it can take a hunter over 20 years to draw a license. Alarid did not have a license to hunt in the unit and a bull elk season was not open in the unit at the time he shot the animal.
