Red Flag Warn ing (Na -tional Weather Ser vice):Cau tion ary state ment is -sued by the Na tionalWeather Ser vice whencon di tions are fa vor ablefor the rapid spread ofwild fire. Does not meanout door burn ing is cur -rently il le gal. More com -monly used in thewestern U.S.

A Red Flag Fire Alert isa wild fire dan ger warn ing is sued by the Na tionalWeather Ser vice. TheRed Flag cau tions thatwild fire dan ger is in creas -ing, and that out doorburn ing could be come dif -fi cult to control.

A Red Flag Fire Alertdoes not pro hibit out doorburn ing as long as allother state and lo cal reg -u la tions are fol lowed.When a Red Flag is in ef -fect, the Ki owa CountySher iff ’s Of fice asks peo -ple to vol un tarily post -pone any out door burn -ing. While the Red Flagit self does not pro hibitburn ing, it may trig gercer tain county or lo cal or -di nances that do restrictoutdoor fires.

The NWS Warn ing is is -sued when their fore castin cludes any two of thefol low ing con di tions: sus -tained wind speeds in ex -cess of 20 mph; sig nif i cant wind shifts; rel a tive hu -mid ity of 15% or lower;and high light ning po ten -tial.

Get the right gear.Choose shoes with proper arch sup port, a firm heeland thick flex i ble soles tocush ion your feet and ab -sorb shock. If you walkout doors when it’s dark,wear bright col ors or re -flec tive tape for vis i bil ity.

Wild Horse Roundup

By Curtis Schrimp

This Week’sI found an old bill to Oslo

Golberg (Leona‘s dad; mywife). It was from the KitCar son Her ald in 1916.

I also found a money or der from Sor ren to in 1910.Kinda old. I did n’t knowwhere I put them and foundthem in an al bum.

LeeAnn and I went out tothe Naugles’ to see him feed the cows and visit. Babycalves are fun to watch run.The Naugles came and took us out south to nearKellers’. The dirt in thefences is the most I haveseen since the old dayswhen the dirt storms werehere and bur ied the fences.

Tony Ham mer stopped inFri day and we had a nicevisit.

LeeAnn has been go ingdown to the ranch do ingsome clean ing and emp ty -ing the mouse traps. Ourdog Rusty loves to go alongand get out and run.

This will be a lone someold man af ter Mon day when LeeAnn heads back to Nor -way.

On Fri day, Nor man andWanda Olsen, Alan andLuanna Naugle, andLeeAnn cleaned the churchof all the dirt that has blown in. We are plan ning on hav -ing church to mor row,Sunday.

Sat ur day eve ning BevMiddle ton came for a visit.

She and LeeAnn had a great visit look ing at fam ily pic -tures and catch ing up onthe past year. Bev al waystakes the time to come for avisit ev ery time LeeAnn co -mes home.

I thought of some thingthat hap pened when I was a kid. I would go across thestreet to walk to school with my friends. When I gotthere, their mother wouldgrab me by the ear and say,“Did you wash be hind yourears?” What a mem ory.

We had church to day andour usual five were there,plus one - LeeAnn. We went to the school house for anice lunch and good vis it -ing.

The card party was verysmall- one ta ble of five.Maybe June will bring niceweather.

Last Week’sSunday - Steve and Deb,

my son and daugh -

ter-in-law, have been heresince Fri day and it sure hasbeen nice. Lots of vis it ingand good food to eat. Wewent out to the cem e tery tosee the graves. The flow ersthat have been there a longtime have n’t blown awayyet. It sure needs some rain. We are look ing at somephoto al bums and they arevery in ter est ing.

Last Tues day LeeAnn took me to Den ver to a hos pi talwhere I got a shot in my hip. It has n’t helped much as itstill hurts. They said itwould take a while but it’sbeen a while.

LeeAnn has sure beenbusy clean ing my floors,wash ing win dows and fix ing a bed for Steve and Debback in the trailer. Steveand Deb also worked hardtoo. They went to the ranchand done a lit tle work.

Allen and Luanna Nauglestopped on their way tochurch in Kit Car son. Theway my leg hurts and I can’t hear, so I stayed home.

Sunday af ter noon a young cou ple stopped by thehouse. The man was rid inga horse and his wife wasdriv ing a camper fol low inghim. Winston was his name and he was rid ing a mus -tang named Durango. Hewas rid ing from Gatesville,Texas to Wind River Ranchnear Estes Park, Col o rado.This jour ney is for Jon a -than, his friend he lost tocan cer. His sad dle andblack hat were given to himby Jon a than. He is on theride be cause of a prom isehe made to Jon a than. Theyspent the night down at theranch cor rals. We wishthem a safe trip.
