With their final decision, Phillips County Commissioners voted unanimously in favor of a resolution and regulations governing the placement of wind energy facilities in the county. Also referred to as "wind farms," these facilities produce electricity through the use of spinning turbine blades powered by wind that, in turn, power generators. Previously, the council had adopted a moratorium on these facilities, which ended Oct. 19. More than 20 people arrived at the County Courthouse and lined th...
On a snowy and icy day with multiple motor vehicle crashes that resulted in a very busy emergency room at the Hospital, Haxtun Health was surveyed by the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the licensing and accrediting department, for Trauma Care. “It’s not every day that our emergency rooms are this busy and what are the odds that we would host surveyors from the State at the same time?” said Jessie Cochran, Trauma Coordinator for Haxtun Health.

I just realized Fall and Winter are when I truly enjoy rodeoing the most. “What’s that?” you say. How can I enjoy rodeoing in our region in the fall and winter? There are no rodeos then. You’re right. There aren’t any. Am I nuts or am I saying I don’t like rodeo? Neither. Confused? Let me explain. I love rodeo. Rodeo was a big part of my life for a very long time and I would have been lost without it. When there was a rodeo to go to, my heart picked up a beat, my step became more lively, in...
It is not easy some days to stay above the fray and avoid being consumed by events immediately surrounding us, particularly when they include current politics, economic realities and a cultural malaise that has been with us for some time. At street level, it can be draining to recognize and fend off what is debilitating in our everyday lives. Even when we recognize dysfunction for what it is, doing something about it is a whole ‘nother matter. A better perspective is not always possible nor a...
“Democracy,” wrote H.L. Mencken, “is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.” A majority of Colorado voters have made it clear that they want to be governed by Democrats. With Democrats presiding over a struggling economy, widespread crime and social disorder, this result is dumbfounding. Surely, Coloradans were ready to restore some measure of political balance? Instead, voters soundly rejected Republican candidates across the board. Democrats won every race in which both parties devoted...

Two out of three is nothing to complain about. And that's what the season came down to for a group of six Fleming Wildcat seniors who, for the third year of their four-year high school football careers, went head-to-head with Stratton for the 6-man State Title. An exciting semifinal win over third-ranked Granada in overtime gave the Wildcats their spot in the title contest. The win would pit the second ranked Wildcats against the top ranked Stratton Eagles. Fleming knew they'd have a fight on...
