I didn't write any of this except the headline. Someone sent me this fascinating discussion on the word “up.” An amazing two-letter English word. A reminder that one word in the English language can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb and preposition. UP Read until the end ... You'll laugh. This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is “UP.” It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv.], [prep.], [adj.], [n] or [v]. It's easy to understand UP, me...
Kiowa is fortunate to enjoy the protection and assistance of our Kiowa Police Department. An example follows: Recently an elderly member of our community fell at home, sustaining an injury that resulted in significant blood loss. Chief Steve Johnson was one of the EMT responders. After taking the injured man to a hospital in Wichita, Kansas, Chief Johnson returned to the man's home in Kiowa. He then cleaned up all the blood in the bathroom so the man's wife would not have to face that chore. Another example of “going beyond the call” was las...

The vote, largely along party lines, was 227-203 and capped a GOP sprint to deliver a major legislative accomplishment to President Donald Trump after a year of congressional stumbles and non-starters. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the...

The Yemeni rebels, known as the Houthis, said they launched a ballistic missile to target Yamama Palace in Riyadh, where King Salman chairs weekly government meetings and r...
DUPONT, Wash. (AP) — Investigators are looking into whether the Amtrak engineer whose speeding train plunged off an overpass, killing at least three people, was distracted by the presence of an employee-in-training next to him in the locomotive, a federal official said Tuesday.

The train was hurtling at 80 mph in a 30 m...
