A group of high school students from Kit Carson High School worked together last week and came up with an ingenious idea that not only taught the students at Kit Carson, all ages from the Kinders to the seniors, how important the act of kindness really is, but offered up a day when the youngest generation and the oldest generation of the county came together, if not physically in the same room, then just outside the window.

Let me preface this by saying I don’t care what you choose to eat. If you are a vegan or vegetarian, that’s cool. What’s not cool is Colorado Governor Jared Polis telling us that we shouldn’t eat meat.

Harvey Crouch of Crouch Engineering, the company responsible for rehabilitating and doing additional work on Colorado Pacific’s Towner line, recently announced that Colorado Pacific Railroad has completed the construction of two new sidings near NA Junction, which is just east of Boone, Colorado.

This announcement signals good news for farmers in southeastern Colorado.

Last week’s winter storm that brought record setting (if not breaking) -25 degree temperatures with a windchill factor of -40 wreaked havoc in parts of Kiowa County. Some got lucky and were spared.  Others dealt with everything from power outages to frozen water pipes to standing water in the interior of buildings.
