"As VOLUNTEERS, many times we leave our loved ones at a moment’s notice to go into unknown, high-risk situations and try to make a small, positive impact on our community. This was the case last Friday, April 22nd."

Thank you for your recent coverage of the discussions regarding Xcel Energy’s “Colorado’s Power Pathway” project in Kiowa County. We appreciate your publication of the Call to Action released by the Sand Creek Massacre Foundation in the November 24, 2021 issue of the Independent, especially reproducing it verbatim to avoid misunderstanding, speculation or rumor about where the Call to Action came from or what it included. As recent articles and Letters to the Editor suggest, it is easy for misunderstandings based on incorrect information to form and, once formed, difficult for them to be corrected.

As board chair, I have an obligation to do what I believe is in the best interest of the hospital and its mission to the community. I take this responsibility seriously. The hospital and the board have been through significant turmoil over the past many months.

Dear Kiowa County Friends and Neighbors,

Thank you to all of you that were so incredibly generous and donated gift cards on behalf of the families that lost everything in the Marshall Fire. I have been overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity and willingness to help from so many.

Thank you for inviting me to comment on the health care challenges facing the Eads community. For those of you who do not know me, I am a physician who practices at Keefe Memorial Hospital in Cheyenne Wells, Colorado – where my wife Karen and I have owned a home for about three years.

School board members are ordinary people who demonstrate extraordinary dedication to our public schools. January marks School Board Recognition Month and is the perfect time we thank our school board members for their untiring efforts.

Giving back to Marshall fire kids & families – would you like to help?

To our Eads Family:

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.

As an organization that operates on your property tax dollars, the Kiowa County Public Library District strives to be transparent with what is happening at the Library. We are, as the saying goes, an open book! With that in mind, we would like to provide you, the Kiowa County Community, with more details about how the discussion began regarding the Library relocating to the Wissell building on Maine Street.
