I know many people in and around this area that would love to make $81,598.40 yearly and could manage well on that amount. If you woul...

Just wondering why Ark City didn't have the Christmas lights completed, or even turned on the ones that did get put up? Was there ever anything mentioned in the Traveler as why not? I would like to see some input about it. Thanks

Made a batch of Snow Ice Cream and have a pot of soup simmering away. So glad we seem to have missed the worst of the ice and that we still have electricity. And extreamly grateful that I don't have to be out in this storm.

As I read this I am inclined to believe this would be a good thing. So many times drugs may have been a factor in accidents, but if not tested is hard to prove.

I have, for some time now, been keeping up on this forum. While I have not commented much, I find it important to see other's viewpoints about issues impacting Ark City and Cowley County.
