I was very proud of Alva citizens Monday night. It was announced that a public hearing would be held about the city swimming pool, and a large number of people attended. Before the hearing, the business of the Alva City Council, the Alva Utility Authority and the Alva Economic Development Authority was conducted. The meeting started at 6:30 p.m. and a lot of people sat through the whole thing, including going out to stand in the lobby for 20 minutes during an executive session. Then everyone...
I was among some 50 persons who attended the Alva City Council meeting last evening (July 15), concerning the proposed municipal swimming pool. It was almost a three-hour meeting, with pros and cons for a city pool discussed. After the meeting, I had some thoughts that I wish to express to the citizens of Alva. I grew up on a ranch in the Panhandle of Texas. I learned to swim in a horse tank as our town had no public pool. From that time on, I was hooked! During my public school years, we had to carpool 40 miles to the nearest public pool. It...

As expected, the first Kiowa City Council meeting just days after former City Administrator Lou Leone's moving van left town did not run without a few glitches. There were several questions: such as who would people answer to or ask questions of for the numerous big ongoing projects started by Leone in the interim until a new administrator is hired. Leone was to have the 2020 proposed city budget finished before he left. Mayor Bill Watson said he and Leone went over his draft of the 2020 budget. The mayor told the Newsgram that the “council d...
Long summer days don't have to mean long meetings, as the Alfalfa County commissioners proved Monday morning. Jay Hague and Marvin Woodall met briefly for their monthly meeting and were enough to make a quorum in the absence of Stan Tucker. A quick review of the meeting minutes from last week gave way to their approval, followed by that of the maintenance and operation warrants, blanket purchase orders and monthly officer reports. The two commissioners were happy to accept seven road-crossing permits, most of which belonged to District 3. Its...
